Next week will bring the start of PAX Online x EGX Digital, a crossover team-up buddy cop event which we’ll be taking part in. I am privy to some of the plans, and they are good plans. Rest now, because soon we’ll be in nine days of streams. Nine days of streams? Oh yes, nine days of streams.
What are you playing this weekend? Here’s what we’re clicking on!
At this rate, Ubisoft won’t get to reveal anything about their open-world Greek mythology game themselves. The new name Immortals Fenyx Rising (formerly known as Gods & Monsters) was revealed by the Taiwan ratings committee earlier this week. Now Microsoft have gone and dished what might be the release date in a prematurely-posted store page. If this new leak is to be believed, Fenyx Rising will launch on December 3rd, 2020.
There’s good news in the world of cartoon-y death dungeons today. Spelunky 2 has a PC release date and it’s actually just a bit earlier than I’d speculated. The sequel to the well-loved procedural-generated cave escape will launch for PC players before the end of this month.
Mundane world murders are enough of a puzzle so hey how about one set in an alternate universe built to resurrect some gods? Paradise Killer is an open world murder mystery where investigation enthusiast Lady Love Dies has to figure out who the heck killed a handful of council members on Paradise Island. Grab your handy notebook because the mystery is out now.
At last, these cape-wearing champs are assembling themselves for real. After an open beta in August and three days of early play for pre-orderers, Marvel’s Avengers is actually, officially launched. You can now suit up as Kamala Khan and co to save the world from M.O.D.O.K’s big baddie head.
This is the final weekend of Destiny 2‘s Solstice Of Heroes, an annual summer event which celebrates how great we are by levitating a slice of city into the sky to host a special event mode. This European Aerial Zone is a fantastic level, full of pathways bouncing across rooftops and burrowing deep into labyrinthine buildings – a type of space we don’t see much in Destiny. I gushed about the EAZ last year and feel the same now but god, this wonderful space is still wasted on a humdrum event mode.
Kickflippin’ combo Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 is sending you to hit the skate park today. You can suit up as one of the old pros set to the power chords of the good ol’ days. If you’re looking for something new, it has some fresh talent to choose from and some modern multiplayer features too. The classic skate ’em up collection is out now.
Lab Zero Games, the studio behind Indivisible and Skullgirls, have laid off many of their remaining employees. Some claim that everyone is gone and that severance pay was not sorted. This comes the week after a number of key employees publicly announced their resignation, with some accusing studio owner Mike Zaimont of inappropriate behaviour and saying the company had tried to get him to leave but failed.
is once again courting (mild, predictable) controversy, this time because of the upcoming Star Wars(TM) Journey To Batuu game pack. The DLC itself doesn’t arrive for another few days (coming to stores near you on Tuesday the 8th), but Simfluencers like Plumbella have posted preview impressions of it that aren’t glowing.
This has not improved the mood of a vocal section of Sims fans, who were already unenthusiastic about Journey To Batuu on the basis that they didn’t want it as much as they wanted something else. EA clearly felt the situation had reached some kind of crisis point, because a statement has been put out addressing the “community feedback” the developers have received. Sims players being annoyed at The Sims 4 is frankly pretty business as usual; EA actually responding to it is less so.
Path of Exile’s chat system allows players to talk to one another easily and without barriers. There’s all kinds of ways to chat to fellow Path of Exile players, including the ability to communicate with players throughout the world and console commands to help you tweak all sorts of stuff.In this guide you’ll learn how to use commands and communicate with players in Path Of Exile.(more…)
