"It's been 3,000 years..." is an iconic gif I hope has been posted in response to the official announcement that a stack of fan-favorite Fortnite skins have returned after years on the bench. Having missed the chance to make their mark in the brightly-colored recreation of Springfield in one of the best battle royale games of the lot, you can, at the very least, have Jinx and Vi, the problematic Piltover personas from Arcane, bring their chaotic energy back to Fortnite around Hawkins, Indiana, where there are stranger things afoot than Homer Simpson drunkenly pottering around in his underwear.

From Thief VR to Men in ******, there's still a few new VR games left before 2025 ends. Here are our December highlights on Quest, Steam, and PS VR2.

Between Roboquest VR, Hotel Infinity, Demeo x Dungeons & Dragons, Marvel's Deadpool VR, Lumines Arise, Glassbreakers, Of Lies and Rain, Laser Dance, Forefront, and Little Critters, there was something for almost everyone.

Healing in Soulframe might seem relatively insignificant when you're just getting started, but it will gradually gain its importance as you start getting deeper into the game. The first set of enemies is pretty easy to defeat, and they die relatively easily. The latter set of quests will introduce you to more difficult opponents that don't die so easily. Moreover, you'll lose at least some amount of your health while attempting to defeat them. Healing yourself will ensure that you don't die and can continue completing the missions to earn rewards and unlock the endgame activities. Best way to heal in Soulframe There's more than one way to heal yourself in Soulframe. If you select Spirit at the start of the game, healing will be easier. However, the standard way of obtaining heals is by using Healing Potions. You'll have five healing potions available by default (applicable for all three starter pacts), and you can press the H button to heal yourself. Image via Digital Extremes The best way to get Healing potions is by looting chests. You can also gain potions by defeating enemies. They drop at random, so make sure to ration the potions properly. In simple words, don't take unnecessary damage from enemies, and try to block as many attacks as possible. If you pledged to Spirit at the start of the game, you'll belong to the Oscelda Pact. The first spell you get from joining this pack allows you to heal yourself over time. This spell tends to be so powerful that you'll hardly have to depend on potions. While other pacts do have healing spells that you can unlock over time, this unique beginner spell is exclusively available for the Oscelda Pact. How to Smite Heal in Soulframe While this is a more advanced method of healing, you can enable it via Pact Arts. Every pact can unlock Sympathy Art. Once unlocked, Sympathy Art will allow you to heal yourself with a successful Smite Attack. You'll want to use weapons that have a high Smite chance (to trigger the Spite Attacks more frequently). You can enhance your healing Smite Attacks by using a Deer Totem in the weapon's Utility Slot. Either methods work well, but you'll have to play Soulframe Preludes for at least a few hours before you get to use them. The post How to heal in Soulframe appeared first on Destructoid.

Marvel Cosmic Invasion is coming to PC and consoles on the first day of December, and it could be an exciting release for superhero fans and gamers alike. Developed by Tribute Games, Marvel Cosmic Invasion is based on the lines of old arcade beat 'em ups. This guide will help you keep track of when the game goes live, so that you can jump right in after the launch. Marvel Cosmic Invasion release countdown Marvel Cosmic Invasion will release globally on Dec. 1, and it will be available on both PC and consoles. The following countdown will expire once the game goes live on all platforms. [hurrytimer id="1148259"] The countdown is based on the following timings. 8am PST10am CST11am EST4pm UTC5pm CEST The release countdown applies to players on both PC and consoles. Since there's no regional launch, you can't use the New Zealand trick on consoles. This trick allows you to get extra hours of gameplay by changing the region of your consoles. However, the method only works if a game follows a regional launch schedule (unlike Marvel Cosmic Invasion). While the game launches on Dec. 1, you can only wishlist it as of writing. There's no form of early or advanced access that allows you to play early. If you're desperate to play, a free demo is available for PC players on Steam. The demo might not offer the full game or all the heroes, but it gives you an early taste of what's on offer. You can check it out to ensure that the game runs smoothly on your system, or if you're interested in the gameplay. The full version will feature 15 heroes and iconic areas from the comics for you to explore. With single play and co-op, you can choose to play how you want.

Team Cherry has revealed it’s thinking about making a brand new game rather than a Hollow Knight 3 — but admitted that their only time concern is “death.” Co-founders Ari Gibson and William Pellen took seven years to make Silksong, the hotly anticipated follow-up to breakout hit Hollow Knight — although they didn’t plan to. During a sweeping interview with Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier, in which the duo confirmed plans for Silksong DLC, talk turned to what’s next. It sounds like Team Cherry has yet to decide whether to make Hollow Knight 3 or a brand new video game, but Gibson and Pellen are thinking about how much time they have left to make video games at all. “... we do have other games that we plan to make,” Gibson said. “The only time concern really is — and we’ve talked about this before — death. It’s not that far off if you spend seven years per project, and potentially add another two. So it’d be nice to do a few more games. Apparently our timeframe still allows us to fit a few more in. Short of an unexpected tragedy.” It’s a grim thought, but one that's been on the minds of a number of high profile video game developers. In 2023, ahead of the release of Starfield, Bethesda development chief Todd Howard said The Elder Scrolls 6 may be the last game in the fantasy series he makes, given how long the Microsoft-owned studio takes to make its games. “And then as we look to an Elder Scrolls 6, that is one where... I probably shouldn't say this, but if I do the math, I'm not getting any younger,” Howard said. “How long do people play Elder Scrolls for? That may be the last one I do. I don't know.” In May, 62-year-old Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima revealed he had thought about his own mortality during the Covid-19 pandemic, during which he became very sick. “Turning 60 was less of a turning point in my life than my experiences during the pandemic,” he said. “I fell seriously ill at that time, and also had an eye operation. Until then, I didn’t think I was old, you know? I just didn’t feel my age, and I assumed I would be able to create for as long as I live. “But then I became sick, and I couldn’t create anything. And I saw lots of people around me passing away at that time. I was confronted with death. Of course, I recovered, but now I was thinking, ‘Wait, how many years do I have left to make a game or a film?’ Perhaps I have 10 years?” Kojima even put a number of ideas on a USB stick and gave it to his assistant during the pandemic "kind of like a will," at a time when he was worried about his studio, Kojima Productions, and making sure the staff would continue to get paid if he was unable to make games. As for Team Cherry, Gibson and Pellen said whatever they end up doing next, whether it’s a brand new game or Hollow Knight 3, it’ll be along similar lines to the games the studio has made before. “We have said we’ll go elsewhere as well,” Gibson said. “Although we’ve also said those experiences will still be about exploring big worlds full of weird characters and giant bosses and whatnot. So there would be a through line there that people will be familiar with. That’s not to say we won’t return to these Hollow Knight worlds. We do have ideas around what forms those would take. But we also don’t want to be exclusively people that make Hollow Knight.” Wesley is Director, News at IGN. Find him on Twitter at @wyp100.

When Hollow Knight: Silksong came out, silkposting, the practice of making fun of Silksong having no news or release date for years, had died out. And it's only natural that it did, since the game was out and all. Now, Team Cherry confirmed a new DLC for Silksong but gave no timeframe, so it's time to fire up the silkposting machines again. As per Bloomberg, Team Cherry, the indie studio behind one of the biggest gaming hits of all time, said it's continuing to work on Hollow Knight: Silksong and that it is by no means done with the game. "We’re continuing to work on the game, we’re pursuing the things that excite us," the studio said. "And we are looking at what else can we do, what else can be brought to the experience and how that world can expand," it added. Silksong was one of the most-played games of 2025. Scrrenshot by Destructoid As for a timeframe, there is none. The devs promised they would talk more about stuff they have in development, or hope to do so at least. Team Cherry picks and chooses its public appearances very carefully, thus avoiding generating unnecessary hype or, what's worse, disappointing fans. Silksong went for years without a word, only for the devs to come out a few weeks before release to announce the date it'll finally drop. It's a good tactic overall, but one that does take a toll on the collective consciousness of the series' fans. Speaking of which: now that we know there's more content on the way (but have no idea when it'll come out) it's time to fire up the silkposts. I for one loved the years preceding Hollow Knight: Silksong and seeing players make up all sorts of troll posts and jokes to bait people into thinking Silksong was about to drop. And I'd love to see it all over again, this time focused on the DLC. There's a ton of speculation over what could be coming next already, so it's a fine basis for some good ol' silkposting, hoping, and coping. Half-Life 3's crowbarposts (I just made that up) have run dry after we disappointed ourselves for the umpteenth time, so I'm also kinda craving some more fun and trolling about hypotheticals. Gaming is the best subculture there is, and silkposting (or anything of the sort) is proof of that.
