We must wait a bit longer before we can start earning the Little Nightmares III achievements. The game has been delayed and will come out for Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One in 2025.

Little Nightmares 3 Has Been Delayed to 2025

Little Nightmares 3 has been delayed from 2024 to 2025, Supermassive Games and Bandai Namco Europe announced.

In a post on X/Twitter, the team said they need more time to make the game as good as they and the fans expect. They didn’t give any more details. Supermassive Games laid off about 90 employees in March 2024, two months before this delay.

Please do bear with us, little ones, for we need a little extra time to prepare your visit.

Rest assured, we promise to show you a proper welcome. #LittleNightmares III pic.twitter.com/fqxsOPzkFD

The team said, “Supermassive Games and Bandai Namco Europe have worked hard to make the best game possible. We can’t wait for you to return to the Nowhere, but we want to ensure the game is great. Quality is critical to us, and we know you feel the same. That’s why we decided to release the game in 2025.”

This is sad news for those excited about the third game in the spooky adventure series, but more information will come later in summer 2024. “Thank you for your patience and support,” they said.

Little Nightmares 3 has been quiet since it was announced at Gamescom in August 2023. The reveal trailer showed two new characters, Low and Alone, and said the game can be played solo with an AI friend or a real friend in a two-player co-op. It will be available for PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC.

Update on Little Nightmares III Development and Delay

“Ever since Little Nightmares III was announced at Gamescom last year, we have been excited to see our community’s enthusiasm. The teams at Supermassive Games and Bandai Namco Europe have been working hard to make the best game possible,” says the Little Nightmares team.

“We can’t wait for you to return to the Nowhere, but we also want to make sure the game is made with care. Quality is critical to us, and we know you feel the same. So, we have decided to delay the release to 2025. We will share more about Little Nightmares III later this summer. Thank you for your patience and support.”

It’s exciting that we will hear more about Little Nightmares 3 this summer. For now, we know the game will focus on Low and Alone, who are stuck in the Spiral and trying to escape the Nowhere.

The Spiral is described as a group of scary places, and Low and Alone will need to work together to survive in a dangerous world and escape a bigger threat in the shadows. Little Nightmares 3 will allow you to play online with a friend or an AI companion.

While waiting for more news about Little Nightmares 3, we can still enjoy Little Nightmares 2, one of the best Xbox platformers with its mix of horror and adventure.

At Sony’s State of Play presentation, Team Asobi announced a new Astro Bot game coming in 2024 for PS5.

The game, called Astro Bot, has a first trailer that shows the cute robot jumping and fighting enemies to catchy music. The trailer also includes nods to classic games like PaRappa the Rapper and Journey, making it look like a fun celebration of PlayStation games.

After the presentation, more details were shared. Preorders confirmed that the game won’t be free. It will have six galaxies with over 80 levels, featuring planets with forests, beaches, volcanoes, and giant hourglasses.

Continuing the series’ tradition of using PlayStation’s technology, Astro Bot will have 15 new abilities that make use of the DualSense controller.

Astro Bot Game is Coming to PS5

Astro’s Playroom, which I think is still the best PS5 game, is finally getting a sequel. The new game, called Astro Bot, will be released on PS5 on September 6, 2024.

The first Astro’s Playroom was a free tech demo showing off the PS5’s features, while Astro Bot: Rescue Mission showcased the original PS VR. This new game will be much bigger. According to Nicolas Doucet, the studio director, it will be a “super-sized space adventure” and the “biggest” Astro game yet.

The game will have “6 galaxies and over 80 levels,” using the special features of the DualSense controller. New abilities include an airdash to smash through enemies and objects, and a giant sponge ability to soak up water and grow huge.

The trailer shows a variety of environments, boss battles, and big set pieces. The game also celebrates PlayStation history, featuring cameos from characters like Nathan Drake and PaRappa the Rapper. Doucet hints that these characters might play a bigger role in the story this time.

Astro Bot Introduces “Over 150” VIP Bots, Bringing New Hope for a Bloodborne Hint

Astro Bot to Feature “Over 150” PlayStation Cameos, Bringing Hope for a Bloodborne Hint

Astro Bot, the beloved platforming character, will return later this year in a game simply titled Astro Bot. This follows the successful launch of Astro’s Playroom, which is pre-installed on every PS5 console (so you really should give it a try!).

In a short three-hour adventure, Astro’s Playroom won over fans with its innovative use of the DualSense controller and its tribute to five generations of gaming.

Astro’s Playroom included over 50 Easter Eggs and cameos from gaming history. The upcoming sequel is tripling that number with more than 150 cute bots dressed as our favorite PlayStation mascots.

This information comes from a recent store listing, which mentions that we’ll be rescuing “over 150 iconic VIP Bots inspired by legendary characters from 30 years of PlayStation history.”

Astro’s Playroom featured nods to well-known PlayStation series like Uncharted, God of War, and Knack, as well as third-party games like Tomb Raider, Castlevania, and Crash Bandicoot. Many of these VIP bots were shown in the reveal trailer for the new game, suggesting they will play a larger role across 80 planets and six galaxies.

One noticeable absence from the trailer, which sparked a lot of discussion, was the Bloodborne Hunter. This character was featured in Astro’s Playroom and has been a topic of interest among Bloodborne fans and FromSoftware enthusiasts, who have been hoping for a remaster or PC port of the game for years.

The news that Astro Bot is tripling the number of cameos makes it likely that Sony will finally reference Bloodborne again. The last time we saw the Bloodborne Bot was four years ago, so this news is especially exciting for fans of the gothic action RPG.

Astro Bot’s Next Exciting Journey

Team Asobi just announced their fifth project with their famous robot. The last game they made with this robot was Astro’s Playroom, which came out with the PlayStation 5.

There were rumors for a long time that Team Asobi was going to make a new game. In 2021, they put out a job posting hinting that they were making their “biggest game yet.” About a year later, they confirmed it. They didn’t say if it would be another Astro Bot game.

Last week, a trustworthy leaker, Billbil-kun, said that the PlayStation Studios team was making a new game with their famous robot.

MultiVersus is back with three new characters. The game developers, Player First Games, have also made many balance changes and improved some of the weaker fighters. This has significantly changed the rankings of the characters compared to last year when the game went offline.

In this guide, you’ll find detailed information about each character, their rank, and the reasons for their ranking. It explains why some characters have better moves and are stronger, while others are not as strong as the rest of the roster.

Multiversus Community Compiles List of Potential Fighters

Are your in-game taunts and insults going to get you banned forever? This could happen with the new rules for banning toxic players in Valorant.

On May 31, 2024, Anna Donlon, the head of Valorant Studio, talked about the community’s worries about disruptive players.

Valorant Announces Major Updates

VALORANT is currently one of the most popular first-person shooter games, enjoyed by both serious gamers and casual players. Recently, the game has faced a lot of criticism because of toxic behavior from some players.

This includes hate speech and rude comments in team chats. On May 30, Riot Games announced changes to their player ban system to address these issues.

Riot Games to Overhaul Valorant Moderation System

Riot Games has made it clear that toxic players are not welcome in their game Valorant. They said that people who make nasty comments against others will not be tolerated.

On May 31, 2024, Anna Donlon, the head of Valorant Studio, posted on X/Twitter about the need to protect players better. She mentioned that Riot needs to improve its protection systems and outlined the changes they are making.

A message from @RiotSuperCakes about the current state of player behavior and upcoming changes to make our community a better place pic.twitter.com/eiwoGsB930

— VALORANT (@VALORANT) May 30, 2024

Donlon explained that they often realize their system flaws only after someone experiences very bad behavior. Riot has been working on better systems and technologies, but managing a large global community is challenging and always changing.

In a follow-up post, they emphasized that anyone making harmful comments, even as ‘trash talk,’ will not be welcome in the game. To improve player behavior, Riot will update their policies within the next 30 days to have stronger and quicker penalties for severe behavior.

TLDR: we are taking actions to improve the state of player behavior in the game. If you want to make evil statements under the guise of “shit talk”, you aren’t welcome here.

Specific actions we’re taking 👇🏽 pic.twitter.com/l5Um40Q7KR

— VALORANT (@VALORANT) May 30, 2024

They will also introduce new punishments, like hardware bans, increase support for manual reviews, expand the use of Riot Voice Evaluation to more regions, and review top suspected offenders from the previous game act to issue penalties.

Hardware Ban Comes to Valorant

Riot Games has shared some new updates for VALORANT:

1. Stronger Player Bans: They will add more actions to the player-ban system. Penalties will range from temporary bans to permanent bans. The most severe punishment is a hardware ban, which stops the player from using their computer to play the game. However, this will only be used in very serious cases.
2. More Staff: Riot will hire more people to handle the growing number of player reports. This will help them check reports more carefully and decide how serious they are.
3. Voice Evaluation System: The Riot Voice Evaluation System, which is being tested in North America, is available in English. According to Anna Donlon, 75% of players who were punished by this system have not repeated their bad behavior. Riot plans to introduce this system to other regions and languages soon.
4. Review of Past Offenders: Riot will do a one-time review of players who were reported during Acts 7 and 8. They will check if these players deserve a higher level of punishment.

These updates aim to make VALORANT a safer and more enjoyable game for everyone.

The fantasy genre often makes people think of magical fairy tales or heroic adventures. But fantasy isn’t always like that. It can be just as dark and scary as any other genre. Many people enjoy dark fantasy, which mixes fantasy with horror.

There are already many stories and games that combine these genres. From monster movies to creepy RPGs to stylish games set in dark, magical worlds, there are lots of video games that explore dark fantasy. Here are some of the best choices for fans who love both fantasy and horror.

5. Lies Of P

“Lies of P” is a new game that is similar to the “Alice” series because they both take inspiration from classic stories. “Lies of P” is based on the story of Pinocchio, the puppet who wants to be a real boy and whose nose grows when he lies.

The game is Soulslike, which means it has challenging gameplay and creepy puppet enemies. The setting and story are dark and spooky, mixing well with the tough gameplay.

“Lies of P” also has some special features that come from the Pinocchio story. It’s a good game to try out, especially since you can play it on Xbox Game Pass.

4. Castlevania

Since werewolves were mentioned, their popular fantasy counterpart, vampires, should also be included. The Castlevania series is a great choice for this. If you enjoy Gothic fantasy, this series is perfect for you.

Gothic stories are known for mixing fantasy and horror, and Castlevania does this well. Castlevania is a Gothic horror game about vampires and is so popular that it even has its show on Netflix. It’s worth checking out if you like Gothic fantasy and horror.

3. Bramble: The Mountain King

Bramble: The Mountain King is an indie horror game that looks and feels a lot like the popular Little Nightmares series. It is based on Swedish myths. The game starts with a young boy named Olle, who goes into the woods at night with his older sister, Lillemor. The forest is beautifully magical, and players will meet some charming creatures.

But don’t be fooled. This is a horror game, and it can be very scary. You will soon meet dangerous creatures that want to hurt Olle. Also, the gnomes that Olle makes friends with might end up in terrible situations.

2. Elden Ring

Elden Ring, like other famous games from FromSoftware, is a beautiful and massive fantasy adventure. However, it’s also very scary.

FromSoftware is famous for mixing fantasy with lots of dark, creepy elements. This shows in the terrifying monsters players have to defeat, ruined places like Caelid, and the gloomy stories in the game. If you want to experience dark fantasy, Elden Ring and other games from FromSoftware are perfect choices.

1. Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice

Senua’s Sacrifice is a powerful story that aims to show what it’s like to live with psychosis. The game was made with help from doctors and people who have psychosis. Even though Hellblade has a serious purpose and is scary, it happens in a fantasy world inspired by Norse mythology.

The game is about a young woman’s journey through Helheim. Players shouldn’t expect a nice fantasy adventure. Senua will face terrifying enemies, impossible challenges, and her mind. The fantasy setting doesn’t make the game any less scary or the experience any less deep.

It’s been a while since we talked about a new Dynasty Warriors game, but today we’ve got news about Dynasty Warriors: Origins. This is the latest game from Koei Tecmo’s Omega Force studio, the folks who’ve been making these games for a long time.

These games are unique and kind of have their style. They usually have big battles where the main character can defeat lots of enemies with just one swing of their weapon.

It looks like this new game will keep that same style if the new trailer is anything to go by.

Dynasty Warriors Origins Announced for 2025

Dynasty Warriors: Origins was announced during today’s PlayStation Showcase and is set to launch in 2025.

The trailer looks just like what you’d expect from a modern Dynasty Warriors game. That means there are a lot of enemies to defeat. After the disappointing response to the last game in the series, Dynasty Warriors 9, which came out in 2018, it seems the developers are eager to make a fresh start with this new game.

DYNASTY WARRIORS: ORIGINS will release on PlayStation®5, Steam®, and Xbox Series X|S in 2025

Fueled by exhilarating 1 vs. 1,000 action and the rush of massive armies, DYNASTY WARRIORS: ORIGINS delivers an unrivaled sense of realism to the battlefield#DWORIGINS #DYNASTYWARRIORS pic.twitter.com/lHK7RRj54B

— KOEI TECMO AMERICA (@KoeiTecmoUS) May 30, 2024

According to Tomohiko Sho, the producer and head of Omega Force, which is developing the game, “Dynasty Warriors: Origins is a new beginning for us. We’re going back to the hack-and-slash action that our fans love, and we want to exceed expectations with this game. We even have a new logo to show our commitment.”

The PlayStation Blog post doesn’t have many specific details about the game, but it seems this time we’ll be playing as a “nameless hero” instead of a historical figure. The game is still set in the Three Kingdoms era and will focus on intense battles where you face thousands of enemies, taking full advantage of the powerful hardware of current-gen consoles. More information about the game will be shared “in the coming months.”

Dynasty Warriors Origins Platforms

Publisher Koei Tecmo and developer Omega Force have announced Dynasty Warriors: Origins for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. It’s set to launch in 2025.

Dynasty Warriors: Origins brings intense battles where you fight against thousands of enemies. It aims to give a very realistic feeling to the battlefield!

In this new game, you play as a nameless hero who fights through the chaotic Three Kingdoms alongside famous historical figures. It’s the latest game in the Dynasty Warriors series.

When Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 comes out on Xbox Game Pass, it will be included in the subscription with no extra conditions.

Before the official announcement, some people thought the game might be used to launch a more expensive subscription tier. But Microsoft told Eurogamer that this isn’t true. The game will be fully playable on Xbox and PC for all three of the current Xbox Game Pass tiers.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Confirmed for Xbox Game Pass

Amid speculation that Microsoft plans to launch a more expensive tier of Game Pass, the company has confirmed that Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will be playable at launch on all existing tiers.

This week, Microsoft announced that Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will be available on Xbox Game Pass from day one. This is the first Call of Duty game to do so, following Microsoft’s $69 billion purchase of Activision Blizzard.

Microsoft has faced questions about the impact of Game Pass on game sales, especially for games that launch on the service. Xbox executives say that Game Pass can boost sales, but some publishers are not convinced.

For example, former Activision boss Bobby Kotick was always against putting Call of Duty into subscription services. Unlike Microsoft, Sony does not release its new exclusives directly into its subscription service.

There was speculation that Microsoft might create a new, more expensive tier of Game Pass for day-one titles like Black Ops 6. However, a Microsoft spokesperson told Eurogamer that this is not the case, at least for the launch of Black Ops 6 later this year.

“Upon launch, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will be playable on Xbox and PC for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass, and Xbox Game Pass for Console members,” Microsoft said.

Leak Confirms Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 for PS4 and Xbox One

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will likely be available on both current and previous generation consoles. With the launch of Season 4 for Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone today, data miners found references to a Black Ops 6 cross-gen bundle.

Black Ops 6 now officially confirmed for last-gen

— CharlieIntel (@charlieINTEL) May 29, 2024

If this bundle is real, it suggests Activision will offer a version of the game that works on multiple console generations, just like they did with Modern Warfare 3. It’s not surprising that Activision would support PS4 and Xbox One. The PS4 alone has sold over 117 million units, and combined with Xbox One sales, the number of potential players is huge.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Editions:

Standard Edition/Cross-Gen Bundle includes the game + Frank Woods Operator preorder bonus

Vault Edition will includes game, Bonus Operators, BlackCell, Weapon Skins, Gobble Gum, and Frank Woods Operator preorder bonus

The data miners also discovered that people who preorder Black Ops 6 will get the Frank Woods operator. There will also be a more expensive Vault edition of the game, which includes extras like a BlackCell bundle and weapon skins.

This week, Black Ops 6 got its first trailer. The live-action trailer featured glimpses of real-world figures like Bill Clinton, Margaret Thatcher, George H.W. Bush, and Saddam Hussein.

Black Ops 6 is being developed by Raven Software and Treyarch and is expected to be released in October. It will be available on Game Pass from day one. Activision and Microsoft will showcase more about Black Ops 6 on June 9 in a special broadcast dedicated to the new game.

After a new major order was introduced on Meridia, Helldivers 2 players faced a problem. Instead of being able to destroy the supercolony, they have encountered a spawn issue that makes the mission much harder than Arrowhead Game Studios planned. It’s been a tough month for Helldivers 2.

Fans were unhappy when a PlayStation Account Link requirement was announced, causing a lot of frustration. After pushback from the fans, the requirement was removed. While that issue is mostly resolved, Arrowhead Game Studios has continued to develop the game’s main story with a new major order.

Helldivers 2 is Getting a Major Order

Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead plans to release a hotfix quickly after players reported a serious bug with the current Major Order.

The latest Major Order, called Operation Enduring Peace, aims to destroy Meridia by turning it into a giant black hole using weaponized Dark Fluid. Players think the destruction of Meridia and its supercolony might lead to a new faction, possibly the long-extinct Illuminate.

MAJOR ORDER: OPERATION “ENDURING PEACE”

The time has come. We must eradicate the Meridia Supercolony via experimental deployment of weaponized Dark Fluid.

The destruction of an entire planet is a tragedy – but the tyrannical Terminids leave us no choice. Good luck, Helldivers. pic.twitter.com/155a9bCnfV

— HELLDIVERS™ 2 (@helldivers2) May 30, 2024

However, players soon noticed a problem with the Major Order. Bile Titans and breach holes were spawning right on the objective, making it very hard to complete, especially on higher difficulties. Some players called the Major Order a “broken mess.”

In a post on the Helldivers Discord, community manager Baskinator confirmed that a hotfix is on the way: “Thank you to everyone who told us about the spawning bug in the current Major Order. We are working on a hotfix and will deploy it as soon as possible. We’ll let you know when it’s available.”

Hopefully, this hotfix will come out soon, since the Major Order expires early next week. Some players are asking Arrowhead to extend the Major Order so more people can play it after the bug is fixed.

Major Issues Found in Helldivers 2’s Latest Major Order

The same dark fluid that turned some scientists into spaghetti in Helldivers 2 is now being used to destroy a Terminid supercolony in the latest major order. But there’s a problem—the missions involving this dark fluid are extremely hard, and not in a “get better” or “play on an easier level” way. Something is wrong.

Here’s how the mission is supposed to go: You and three teammates land in Meridia, a supercolony that needs to be destroyed. You call in a dark fluid backpack (which can also be used as a jetpack) and rush to a drill site. You set up a drill, defend it, and then escape.

MY BROTHER IN CHRIST THIS IS A TRIVIAL DIFFICULTY MISSION
byu/1_ConvoBreaker inHelldivers

But the Terminids don’t want you there, which makes sense since it’s their supercolony. The difficulty is expected, but bug breaches, where Terminids come out of holes, can spawn anywhere with no restrictions. Shriekers (flying bugs) are also a huge problem, showing up in massive numbers even on easier levels.

For example, one player was overwhelmed by a swarm of these flying bugs on the game’s “Trivial” difficulty. There’s a big difference between a challenge and your drill getting instantly destroyed by a bile titan spawning too close, or new players being overwhelmed by flying bugs. Most players on the game’s subreddit agree that something is wrong.

Helldivers 2 to Fix Annoying Bug in Meridia Major Order

The new Helldivers 2 Major Order is called Operation Enduring Peace, where players must destroy the Meridian supercolony. To do this, players get a new experimental weapon made of Dark Fluid.

People are missing the point…
byu/Funny_Employer_8802 inHelldivers

They need to carry a backpack of Dark Fluid, find a drill site, defend it while the weapon arms itself, and then escape. However, players have found this mission to be harder than expected.

Players trying this mission on Meridia have noticed that Terminids can spawn almost anywhere, making the mission feel broken, even on the easiest level.

Many posts and videos online show the spawn issues, with breaches opening right next to the drill, making it much harder to defend than usual. Also, the flying Terminid enemies, called Shriekers, appear in huge numbers. Reddit user 1_ConvoBreaker showed a large swarm of them even on the Trivial Difficulty level.

Right after a busy PlayStation State of Play event, Konami held a Silent Hill Transmission livestream. They shared a lot of information about the different Silent Hill projects they’re working on.

Although they didn’t give any information about Silent Hill f and Silent Hill: Townfall, fans got to see new gameplay and find out how to pre-order Silent Hill 2 Remake. They also got a behind-the-scenes look at the new horror movie, Return to Silent Hill.

Keep reading to find out more about everything Konami talked about during the Silent Hill Transmission livestream.

Silent Hill 2 Remake Release Date

Silent Hill 2 will launch on October 8th. Since they first announced it in 2022, fans worldwide have been eagerly waiting. To meet these high expectations, they’ve spent a lot of time polishing the game and carefully choosing the right time to release it confidently. This remake stays true to the original and is at its best.

A new trailer for SILENT HILL 2 Remake just released and it looks BEAUTIFUL. 🥲 And to top things off, we now have a release date of OCTOBER 8th! 🗓️

We can’t wait to play this beloved game all over again!! 😁https://t.co/yjym0YM3Iq

— Silent Hill 2: Enhanced Edition (@WhereAllBegins) May 30, 2024

They’ve released a 13-minute gameplay video during the Silent Hill 2 Transmission. It shows exploration in the town and hospital, giving players a good idea of what the actual gameplay will be like. They’ve also shown a new trailer during the PlayStation broadcast, featuring scenes with Angela and the Otherworld.

Pre-orders have started, so take a look at the gameplay video and trailer to see more of what’s in store for Silent Hill 2.

Silent Hill 2 Remake Story

Silent Hill 2 is known for its intense and layered storytelling, and we wanted to keep that intact in the remake. While some events may happen in different places, their impact on the story remains the same.

They’ve introduced new locations, but we’ve tried to reference the original game as much as possible. This way, returning players will feel at home exploring the foggy streets of Silent Hill again.

The main characters from the original story, James and Maria, are central to our remake too. They’ve kept their emotional journeys true to the original, using motion capture technology to show their feelings more vividly. Sometimes we’ve tweaked their dialogue to add more depth to their interactions.

As many fans know, they didn’t use the original voices for the remake. This decision was based on creative and technical reasons. Relying only on existing dialogue would have limited us in making gameplay improvements like better player guidance.

Instead, they’ve brought in a new cast of voice actors. Luke Roberts and Salóme Gunnarsdóttir, who play James and Maria, have approached their roles with the same care and nuance as the original characters. We believe they were the perfect choices for these roles.

Silent Hill 2 Remake’s Character Models

It seems like every time Konami shows the upcoming Silent Hill 2 remake, fans aren’t quite happy. It started with the game’s announcement when Bloober Team, known for Layers of Fear and The Medium, was chosen to remake the classic survival horror. Many fans were unsure about this choice.

So grateful the Silent Hill 2 remake team listened to fan criticism of James’s design and fixed it Sonic the Hedgehog movie style to look more like the original bc he didn’t look anything like himself…why did he look like Edward Norton…who is this man lmao pic.twitter.com/9lJ9Fvyb8w

— K (silly🪿era) (@horrorfruits) May 30, 2024

Now, after new footage was shown during the latest PlayStation showcase, State of Play, fans are upset again—this time, it’s about the character designs, which some say may not do justice to the original.

BREAKING! James Sunderland appears fuckable in new Silent Hill 2 Icon pic.twitter.com/0IAc9I402E

During the Silent Hill Transmission, which came right after the May 30 State of Play, Konami revealed 13 minutes of gameplay from the remake. In both the Transmission and the State of Play trailer, we saw protagonist James and supporting characters Maria and Angela. Let’s start with James.

Leon and James💙🧡

— 𝑨𝒅𝒂 𝑾𝒐𝒏𝒈 (@X33Ada) May 31, 2024

Some fans like his new look, saying it’s an improvement from the initial reveal. But others aren’t so sure—they say his new design makes him look a bit like Leon Kennedy from Resident Evil, especially with the blonde hair that’s different from the original.

Then there’s Maria, a character James meets throughout the game, known for her confidence and sexy style. Fans are criticizing her new outfit, which is more plain and less fashionable compared to the original.

People who know the original game well say Maria’s outfit is very important to her character and the story. They’re disappointed that Bloober didn’t try to recreate the iconic details of her outfit in a modern way.

Instead of the leopard print and gold jewelry, she’s wearing a plain black dress and a jacket that’s the same pinkish color as her original outfit.

To make things more confusing, a short look at Return to Silent Hill, a movie based on the second game, showed Maria wearing her original outfit. Fans feel like Bloober might have made a mistake by changing her outfit in the remake.

Hogwarts Legacy developer Avalanche Software has announced its summer update, which will bring new features to the game on June 6.

In a post on Twitter, Avalanche shared details about the update. Players on Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Nintendo Switch, and PC will get the most out of it, as the Haunted Hogsmeade quest, previously exclusive to PlayStation, will now be playable for everyone.

One of the biggest additions is the new photo mode, which will give players a variety of options to take and customize pictures in the game. Additionally, a new quality-of-life feature will allow players to reset their Talent Points.

This update aims to enhance the Hogwarts Legacy experience with new content and features, making it more enjoyable for players on various platforms.

Hogwarts Legacy DLC Update Drops

Fans had almost lost hope, but the wait was worth it.

After months of guessing, the summer update for Hogwarts Legacy has been announced, and it will be available next week.

Despite rumors that the update wouldn’t have many new features, the developers have decided to surprise us.

One of the most exciting parts of this update is the new photo mode, which fans have wanted since the game launched. One Twitter user excitedly posted, “OMG!!!! A PHOTO MODE!!!??? THANK YOU!” This shows how happy people are about this feature.

No Revelio needed here! We’re sharing all of the details around our upcoming summer update. Get ready to dive back into the magic of #HogwartsLegacy on June 6th! pic.twitter.com/85SkKQK8ii

— Hogwarts Legacy (@HogwartsLegacy) May 30, 2024

But what else is new?

In addition to the photo mode, players will get an Azkaban-inspired outfit, an onyx Hippogriff, and the ‘Haunted Hogsmeade’ DLC, which was previously only for PlayStation users.

Not all players are thrilled with the update, though.

“Not gonna lie, I thought it would be a liiiittle bit more to keep us busy in the world, but it’s still nice,” commented Twitter user @gruene_Feder, adding, “At the same time, I can’t help to feel a little disappointed.”

Fans still love the Harry Potter adventure and want something truly new and exciting, rather than just a few features and a previously exclusive quest.

Even though this update isn’t huge, it offers more than some expected.

Also, a sequel has been almost confirmed for at least one console, which is great news.

For those returning to Hogwarts, you only have to wait a bit longer. The update goes live on June 6, which is just over a week away.

Hogwarts Legacy’s Free Summer Update

Hogwarts Legacy is not a live game and doesn’t seem to be adding any big paid DLC in the future. However, Portkey and WB have just announced a summer update coming on June 6 that includes some new features. Here’s what’s coming:

• Photo Mode(!)
• The ability to reset talent points
• The Haunted Hogsmeade quest
• The “Glasses Who Live” (Harry’s glasses)
• Azkaban Prisoner outfit and coat
• Felix Felicis Potion recipe
• Lavender Borealis Broom

Even though the only “new” content is the Haunted Hogsmeade quest, it’s not entirely new. It’s a PlayStation-exclusive quest that is now available on all platforms. The potion, previously a pre-order exclusive, will now show the location of large loot chests on the minimap.

The most exciting addition is the photo mode, which fans have wanted since the game launched. The ability to reset talent points is also nice, though it’s not a full New Game Plus mode, which is something many players wish the game had.

New PlayStation CEOs, Hideaki Nishino and Hermen Hulst, talked about the company’s views on live service games, PC releases, layoffs, and other topics in their first presentation as co-leaders.

In the Sony Game and Network Services Business Segment presentation, Nishino and Hulst shared that “each PlayStation 5 sold generates over $700 in additional spending, which is much higher than the previous generation.”

PlayStation’s PC Strategy Explained

Future PlayStation co-CEO Hermen Hulst recently explained how Sony decides which games to release on PC. In the past, first-party PlayStation games were only available on PlayStation consoles.

However, Sony has started releasing some of these games on PC. This began with Horizon Zero Dawn in 2020, though Death Stranding was technically the first PlayStation exclusive to come to PC a month earlier. Since then, games like Days Gone, 2018’s God of War, and Marvel’s Spider-Man have also been released on PC through platforms like Steam.

In 2024, this trend has continued. Helldivers 2 launched on both PS5 and PC in February. In March, Horizon Forbidden West was released on PC two years after its PS5 debut, and The Last of Us came to PC soon after, following the success of its HBO series.

Most recently, Ghost of Tsushima was ported to PC and received great reviews and high player counts on Steam.

Earlier this week, Hermen Hulst talked about Sony’s strategy for PC ports during a PlayStation business briefing. He explained that Sony has a two-part approach: live-service games like Helldivers 2 are released on PS5 and PC at the same time to attract players on both platforms.

For PlayStation’s story-focused first-party games, which Hulst called the “backbone” of the company, they use PC ports to encourage new players to buy a PS5.

Future PlayStation Head Explains Dual Strategy for PC Games

This explains why recent PlayStation games that come to PC are often older titles, while their sequels remain only on PS5. For example, PC players can try 2018’s God of War and then might want a PS5 to continue the story in God of War Ragnarok.

Similarly, Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered and Spider-Man: Miles Morales came to PC in 2022, one year before Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 was released on PS5. As Hulst said, the goal is to get PC gamers interested in the first part of a series so they will buy a PS5 for the next part.

There are rumors that Sony will announce PC versions of games like Demon’s Souls, God of War Ragnarok, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, and The Last of Us Part 2 later this year. While these are just rumors, they correctly predicted the Ghost of Tsushima port.

Insiders now think a God of War Ragnarok port might be revealed soon, possibly during the upcoming PlayStation State of Play livestream.

PlayStation Reveals Immediate PC Release for Live-Service Games, Delayed for Single-Player Games

PlayStation has explained how it releases games on PC. Live-service games will come out on PC and PlayStation 5 at the same time, but big single-player games will not.

One of PlayStation’s CEOs, Hermen Hulst, talked about this during a business presentation. Hulst said the reason for this strategy is to attract more people to the PlayStation platform.

He explained that live-service games will be released on both PC and PS5 at the same time. However, single-player games, which are very important to PlayStation, will come to PC later. This helps introduce new players to PlayStation games and encourages them to buy a PS5 for sequels.

Hulst also mentioned that bringing PlayStation games to other media, like TV shows and movies, helps attract new players. For example, The Last of Us TV show on HBO and the Gran Turismo movie have brought new fans to PlayStation games.

This isn’t surprising since we saw Helldivers 2 launch on both PS5 and PC at the same time earlier this year, while Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut came to PC much later after its PS5 release. But it’s good to hear PlayStation’s plan for the future.

People who are excited about Destiny 2: The Final Shape, which is supposed to come out on June 4, 2024, should avoid the internet for a few days. This is because PlayStation-owned Bungie accidentally released the whole expansion early, and now spoilers are everywhere.

According to Eurogamer, many players went to social media, surprised and upset, when they found out the expansion was available to play on May 29 after a server update. This expansion is supposed to be the big finale of Destiny 2’s 10-year story.

Some players, like Cupcake_0f_Doom on Reddit, who streamed Destiny 2 instead of playing a downloaded version, were automatically put into the new content.

Destiny 2: The Final Shape Leaks

Bungie’s Destiny 2: The Final Shape expansion is supposed to come out on June 4th. However, some players got to play it early today. People on Reddit and Discord have been sharing pictures and videos of the new game content, which they accessed through Sony’s PS5 cloud streaming service.

For at least five hours, players could explore the whole DLC. They shared spoilers about raid gear, seasonal content, The Final Shape campaign, missions, and even cutscenes. Videos showing new weapons and gear have also been uploaded to YouTube.

The Final Shape is expected to be Destiny 2’s most important expansion, wrapping up the nearly ten-year-long light and darkness saga. In it, players will fight The Witness, the main villain who controls the Black Fleet, a group of pyramid ships.

This expansion will also introduce a new Prismatic Subclass, which combines the powers of Light and Darkness, letting players mix abilities from different damage types. This new subclass could greatly change the way the game is played.

Sony and Bungie have fixed the mistake that allowed early access, but the leak has already caused a lot of problems. Spoilers and gameplay details are spreading across forums, social media, Discord, and Reddit, making it hard for fans to avoid them before the official launch on Tuesday.

Destiny 2’s Final Shape Expansion

The release date for Destiny 2: The Final Shape is very close, and this expansion will end the game’s Dark and Light saga to start something new. However, the new DLC leaked early, and Bungie is trying to fix the situation.

According to a post by u/Soracaz on the Destiny subreddit, the entire DLC was available to play early on Thursday, May 30. Players could try the full campaign, season content, raid gear, and raid mechanics. Soracaz warns that there are major story spoilers and advises players to stay off the internet.

CODE RED: SPOILERS INCOMING EVERYWHERE. THE DLC HAS LEAKED
byu/Soracaz inDestinyTheGame

Bungie acted quickly, shutting down the Destiny 2 servers on PC to control the damage. While some people were still playing the DLC for a short time, it is now inaccessible. Soracaz mentioned that a lot of content is already leaked with many videos and pictures ready to be shared.

The subreddit’s moderators locked Soracaz’s thread, saying they have a zero-tolerance policy for any spoilers due to the serious nature of this leak. Bungie has not made an official statement yet, and it is unclear when the PC servers will be back online.

Vought International’s superman and breast milk enthusiast, Homelander, is coming to Mortal Kombat 1 on June 4. In his first gameplay trailer, we see some familiar scenes from The Boys. Homelander uses his eye lasers to slice his enemies, like Sub-Zero, in half and throws Liu Kang through a jet engine, sending airline passengers to their deaths.

Mortal Kombat 1’s version of Homelander looks true to the character played by Antony Starr in The Boys (though Starr isn’t voicing him in this DLC).

We see Homelander perform some of his signature moves, like a powerful ear clap and launching his opponent into the upper atmosphere. Similar to another character, Omni-Man, Homelander can hover, fly, and attack with super speed during his fights.

Mortal Kombat 1 Homelander Gameplay Trailer

In Homelander’s first gameplay, he’s paired with Ferra, a new Kameo Fighter. Mortal Kombat fans will remember Ferra as Torr’s partner from Mortal Kombat X.

She acts the same way, helping in fights and being used as a projectile. We see two of Homelander’s Fatalities and one of Ferra’s, where she splits her enemy in half.

Homelander joins the #MortalKombat1 roster on June 4, Ferra Kameo joins later in June. Check out their game-play here!https://t.co/QIjuLCEPWe

— Ed Boon (@noobde) May 29, 2024

Homelander and Ferra are part of MK1’s Kombat Pack add-on. This pack also includes characters like Quan Chi, DC’s Peacemaker, Invincible’s Omni-Man, and Ermac. The last character, Takeda Takahashi, will be added this summer. The Kombat Pack also has five Kameo Fighters: Tremor, Ferra, Janet Cage, Khameleon, and Mavado.

The Kombat Pack costs $15.99 and is on sale until Sunday. It’s also included in the Premium Edition of the game, which costs $109.99.

New DLC Kameo Fighter Ferra Introduced

Mortal Kombat 1’s next superpowered guest fighter is Homelander from The Boys. In a new gameplay trailer, he shows off his powerful moves. Homelander will be available for Kombat Pack owners on June 4 and for everyone else on June 11.

Homelander, the patriotic and crazy leader of The Seven, defeats his enemies with a fighting style similar to Superman’s in the Injustice series. The trailer also introduces Ferra, a new DLC Kameo fighter. Ferra, the small and wild partner from the Ferra & Torr team in Mortal Kombat X, will join the game in June.

Homelander will be part of the Year 1 DLC roster, along with Peacemaker, Invincible’s Omni-Man, Ermac, Quan-Chi, and the upcoming Takeda. Mortal Kombat 1 will also get a story expansion, but there are no details about it yet.

Mortal Kombat 1 DLC Character

Mortal Kombat 1 will add Homelander as a downloadable content character. He will be available on June 4 for Kombat Pack owners and on June 11 for everyone else, according to Warner Bros. Games and NetherRealm Studios. Ferra will join the Kameo roster later in June.

Homelander is the most powerful being on the planet and the leader of The Seven, a top superhero team managed by Vought International. He is the strongest “Supe” in a world where superheroes are created.

Homelander looks like the ultimate patriot and protector, but he is a murderous, selfish sociopath who craves attention, love, and power. He destroys his enemies and seeks power not just in his world, but in other realms too. In the new video, Homelander shows his dominance with super strength, aerial attacks, and eye lasers.

How to Get Homelander in Mortal Kombat 1?

Homelander will be available in Mortal Kombat 1 on June 4, 2024, for early access players. After that, anyone can buy him separately starting on June 11. Homelander is also part of the Mortal Kombat 1 Kombat Pack, which includes the first wave of DLC characters.

The Kombat Pack includes a Jean-Claude Van Damme skin for Johnny Cage, early access to six DLC characters (Omni-Man, Quan Chi, Peacemaker, Ermac, Homelander, and Takeda Takahashi), and five DLC Kameo Fighters.

You can buy the Kombat Pack now as part of the Mortal Kombat 1 Premium Edition, or you can buy it separately for $19.99.

No Man’s Sky’s next big update, Adrift, lets players explore a universe where all other lifeforms are gone.

In Adrift, players can experience the game in a new way, being completely alone for the first time. This update removes all NPCs, meaning there are no shops, no trading, no shortcuts, and no help.

This makes the survival experience more dangerous. Sandworms roam freely, fiend eggs spread across planets, and buildings are broken and rusted. The worlds are also filled with graves of lost travelers.

No Man’s Sky Adrift is Out Now

No Man’s Sky has been out for almost eight years, but players have never truly felt alone in its vast star systems. This is changing with the new update, Expedition 13: Adrift, which changes the game in a big way.

The blog post announcing the update explains that Adrift aims to bring back the feeling of early versions of No Man’s Sky when there were “no NPCs, no shops, and no help.” To do this, the update removes all lifeforms from the game and makes all buildings look broken and rusted.

— Nintendo Everything (@NinEverything) May 29, 2024

There are also more sandworms and fiend eggs for players to encounter. However, players can still find a “ghostly frigate” and a Hauler starship called the Iron Vulture to help them out.

Adrift also includes more ship customization, more multiplayer missions at the Space Anomaly Nexus, and special rewards and collectibles for the Adrift update. The patch notes show that the update fixes bugs, improves memory usage, enhances the audio of planetary titan worms, and makes other small changes.

The expedition will last for about seven weeks, so players should start soon if they want to experience it. The last update, Omega, added new planetary missions and a starship called the Starborn Runner.

No Man’s Sky Is Set to Become the Most Isolated Videogame Ever

It’s hard not to compare No Man’s Sky and Starfield, even though they are different in practice. Both are ambitious space games that arrived with a lot of hype and were disappointing at launch. Starfield’s Shattered Space might be Bethesda’s RPG comeback.

However, after eight years, Hello Games’ No Man’s Sky has recovered and become one of the best comeback stories in gaming, along with Cyberpunk 2077 and Fallout 76.

The new No Man’s Sky update, Adrift, is very different. There are no added quests or extra content. It’s a bold new version of the game based on one idea: what if the entire universe was empty?

Inspired by early versions of No Man’s Sky, Adrift lets players explore the game’s worlds, galaxies, and planets without meeting any lifeforms. If you’ve ever felt the fear of being completely alone in the universe, No Man’s Sky Adrift is for you.

There are no shops, trading, shortcuts, or help. You are truly alone, making No Man’s Sky the ultimate survival game. Some dangers remain, like giant sandworms and spreading fiend eggs.

Everything else is abandoned, rusted, and ghostly. It’s a lonely but peaceful and meditative experience, similar to the game’s beginning before all the updates.

A new Hauler starship called the Iron Vulture, will help keep you alive, and there’s a large new frigate where you can rest and replenish before exploring again. There’s no release date yet for No Man’s Sky Adrift, but Hello Games will share more information soon.
