The second year of free Assassin’s Creed Valhalla content looks set to continue very shortly, as details of a fresh set of Mastery Challenges have popped up online. PlayStation Trophy data for this new addition has been detailed in a new video from Access the Animus, which suggests based on prior release timings we should see the new content go live within the next couple of weeks. Dubbed “Mastery Challenge: The Reckoning (Part 2)” this is expected to add fresh combat challenge maps to rinse and repeat for high scores, and hopefully some closure to what the mode’s vendor Hildiran…
One of the great delights of being a purely surface-level Warhammer 40K enjoyer is that around every corner there’s always some new, human-made horror to discover. The other day, for instance, I learned about the Exterminatus, a giant, Galactic Empire-inspired space gun that blows up planets when all other options – Space Marines, Grey Knights, Titans, Orbital Bombardments, et cetera – have been exhausted. Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate – Daemonhunters, a new turn-based tactics game in the vein of XCOM, coming 5th May, will let you fire it, and is actually the first 40K game to feature it as a…
Niantic’s next game involves caring for and breeding fictional creatures – but it’s nothing to do with Pokémon. Instead, Peridot is a brand new creation by Niantic itself – the company’s first for many years – and one it’s aiming at an even wider audience. With Peridot, Niantic seems to be gunning for the now-vacant Neopets market (RIP Neopets), with cutesy Pixar-esque characters, Tamagotchi-style gameplay and – because this is a Niantic game – a good old nudge every so often to get you off your sofa. “We want it to be a standalone pet simulation game,” producer Ziah Fogel…
The California Department of Fair Employment’s ongoing harassment and discrimination lawsuit against Activision Blizzard – which accused the publisher of fostering a “frat boy culture” in which sexual harassment, assault, and inappropriate behaviour were able to thrive – has taken another dramatic turn. A state of California lawyer involved in the lawsuit has resigned, accusing the state’s governor of interfering in the case in support of Activision Blizzard. As reported by Bloomberg, the assistant chief counsel for California’s Department of Fair Employment, Melanie Proctor, has quit her role in protest after California Governor Gavin Newsom “abruptly fired” the agency’s boss,…
When Digital Foundry reviewed Steam Deck, the overall takeaway was that Valve had delivered by far the most powerful handheld we’d ever seen – to the point where we could take PC ports of console games and run them at PS4-equivalent settings with much the same performance. The only difference? Lowering resolution from 1080p down to 720p or 800p. There’s more to Steam Deck, however. Its main processor is based on the same core technologies as the silicon that powers PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. It’s ‘next-gen capable’ if you like – but does it have the horsepower to…

QuakeCon, the Bethesda-run games convention inspired by id Software’s classic, will be a digital-only event again this year. Previously held in-person in Dallas, Texas, the impact of the pandemic means this won’t be possible, at least for this year. The convention will take place digitally from 18th – 20th August.

Both Nintendo and Sony will change how they market their respective subscription offerings in response to an investigation by the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority. The UK regulator had been investigating all of the big three console manufaturers, though Microsoft opted in January to get ahead of its findings and role out changes to Xbox Live Gold and Game Pass worldwide. Now, Nintendo and Sony will also alter their services to offer better guidance for customers, as reported today by GamesIndustry.biz.

Have you ever wondered how Evil Dead’s Ash Williams would fair in the snow-covered world of Resident Evil Village? Well, wonder no more, as someone has brought these two pieces of media together as one, and I won’t lie, it is a match made in (a far from angelic) heaven. Using footage from 1987’s Evil Dead 2 and 1992’s Army of Darkness, content creator eli_handle_b․wav has replaced Resident Evil Village protagonist Ethan Winters with Ash. The results are both horrifying and amusing all in one. Instead of ripping himself free from Lady Dimitrescu’s clutches a la Ethan, this rendition of…
Hironobu Sakaguchi, the original creator of Final Fantasy, is a huge fan of MMORPGs. In fact, according to a new interview with IGN, it was his love of EverQuest that led to the development of Final Fantasy 11 – the series’ first foray into online gaming. “My first [MMORPG] was EverQuest. I got absolutely addicted to it and forced a dozen or so SquareSoft staff members at the time to play as well, telling them it was required knowledge. Incredibly, most of them got hooked too, which led to [Final Fantasy 11],” he said. Read more Source – eurogamer.net All…
