Hot on the heels of Helldivers 2’s latest update, patch 01.002.101, going live, players have noticed developer Arrowhead used it to secretly add a new tool to the game: a shovel. Players have discovered the shovel as a POI item dotted about the map, and have found they’re able to actually dig into the ground with it to create makeshift cover. Redditor The_Fighter03 alerted the community to the find with a video clip, below, showing the new shovel in action. THERE'S SHOVELS NOW?!? byu/The_Fighter03 inHelldivers .reddit-embed-wrapper iframe { margin-left: 0 !important; } Arrowhead failed to make any mention in today’s update 01.002.101, nor has it explained why shovels are all of a sudden in the game. But fans had wondered whether the patch had more to it than Arrowhead let on, given it weighed in at over 5GB. Perhaps the terrain deformation / dig system now in the game was a big part of that. Players are now digging into the detail of this new shovel, trying to work out how deep they can go and whether it has any other use. Can it be used to dig under doors, for example? Can players work together to create trenches? The community is having fun working this out. Meanwhile, Arrowhead announced Helldivers 2’s next premium warbond, dubbed Servants of Freedom. The battle pass due out February 6 adds a portable Hellbomb stratagem and new armor that come with the Integrated Explosives passive, which means that upon death, your corpse will detonate and take out the enemies around you.

Steam and Xbox users aren't strangers to games being delisted but the recent disappearance of OlliOlli Worldand Rollerdrome is raising eyebrows. Issues surrounding licensing and publishing rights have led to many titles being pulled from digital storefronts but generally speaking, most affected games are older releases. This makes the sudden disappearance of two relatively recent indie games from Steam and the Xbox store all the more concerning, but there is hope that they'll return. View the full article

Marvel Rivals’ roster offers 35 heroes (and counting) spread across three roles—Vanguard, Duelist, and Strategist—to help shape your plan for victory. Despite the opportunity to master many more than just one character, some players still prefer being one-tricks—and the community thinks it’s not the way. Highlighting that players shouldn’t one-trick in ranked games, a Redditor said if a player is planning to main a single role, they should main multiple characters—and not just a single character. They also explained how the entire team suffers from a one-trick’s lack of flexibility. “The amount of times the team can’t push, defend or attack in a game cause y’all say ‘I don’t know how to play x character’ is so consistent like what do you mean?” their post reads.

Before the Nintendo Switch and Wii U GamePad, there was the Game Boy Advance. It seems like only yesterday that I was playing on that tiny little screen, making the time go by much faster during long car rides — well, unless the screen was too dark to see at night. Although it seems as if the times of the Game Boy Advance have come and gone, the Nintendo Switch Online subscription has kept it alive. So, if you want to get a blast from the past, here are the best GBA games you can play on the Nintendo Switch. Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 Image via Nintendo To this day, Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 remains my favorite Mario game. The manifold of worlds and vigorous abilities were enough to keep me entertained at the age of eight, a time when I didn't exactly have the best attention span. It stuck with me for so long that I would eventually revisit it again in my adulthood, just to experience the nostalgia. I know there are plenty of other great Mario titles out there, but you should make the time (if you haven't already) for Super Mario Bros. 3. It's a classic platformer that stands the test of time and is often considered the fan-favorite of the franchise. The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap Image via Capcom and Flagship The Legend of Zelda series has carved its place in the Nintendo collection, with unforgettable titles like Ocarina of Time and Tears of the Kingdom. During the Game Boy Advance era, we were graced with The Minish Cap, a classic adventure that follows the valiant Link. What sets this entry apart is its unique perspective, allowing you to experience Hyrule in a whole new light by shrinking Link down in size. This change in scale makes everything around you appear grander, where even the leaves take on a colossal form. Seeing the world through a smaller lens makes exploring all the more interesting, especially if you spent a lot of time in Hyrule in past games. Though, I will say the dungeons can be a bit grueling, whether with overwhelming hordes of enemies or puzzles that require a bit of backtracking. But if you're a fan of the series and don't mind a little challenge, you should definitely pick this one up. Even newcomers can try it out to experience its retro goodness. Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team Image via Spike Chunsoft Almost every Pokémon entry follows the traditional journey of a trainer as they catch and release critters in an epic battle. But with Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team, things take a different turn, assuming the role of a Pokémon rather than a human being. In fact, there's not even a human in sight, where the entire universe is only made up of legendary creatures. The same Pokémon battles you know and love are still present, just with a twist of a much more direct approach. You'll also understand what Pokémon are actually saying, including many dialogue scenes during rescue missions. So, instead of Pikachu's usual "Pika Pika" dialogue, you'll have a rather intellectual conversation with the franchise's most notable character. F-ZERO Climax Image via Suzak and Nintendo The Nintendo Switch Online system comes with plenty of F-Zero games to choose from, such as Climax, GP Legend, and 99. If I had to pick one, it would have to be F-Zero Climax, considered one of the best in the business with 2D racing games. There's a plethora of modes to go around, from the competitive Grand Pix to the fast-paced Time Attack. You can also make the tracks much more personalized through Edit mode, where up to 30 original courses can be carefully crafted. That way, you can test out both your customization and racing skills. Fire Emblem Image via Nintendo YouTube Since the Fire Emblem series has been around for a long time, you'd have to be living under a rock to not know about it. Heck, even Super Smash Bros. fans are probably familiar with it, as it includes over eight FE fighters in its roster. If you were curious about this franchise or want a nostalgic comeback, you can play the original that started it all (at least internationally): Fire Emblem. Fire Emblem, also known as Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade, immerses you in a strategic adventure across the nation of Lycia. As corruption spreads, you're tasked with outsmarting the enemy on the battlefield. The complex challenge of each fight and the rewarding victories that follow make it a game that's hard to put down. It may just convince you to explore the rest of the series, like Fire Emblem Engage and Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes. Metroid Fusion Image via Nintendo With the upcoming release of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, it's the perfect time to jump into this action-adventure franchise. Metroid Fusion, in particular, is a beloved entry amongst the Game Boy Advance community thanks to its riveting story, challenging foes, and a mass amount of handy upgrades. We also can't forget about the mighty Samus, the series' long-running main protagonist who's made quite a name for herself in the gaming world. You'll have to use Samus' strength to take down the X Parasite, known as "SA-X." The terrifying threat of this being almost makes Metroid feel like a horror game, especially with the ominous sounds of its approaching footsteps. Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3 Image via Nintendo Although I do love playing as Mario, there's something unique about the playstyle of his companions. Yoshi is undoubtedly one of my favorites, using the abilities of his eggs, tongue, and the flight of his Flutter Jump. You'll see these skills in action in Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3, the GBA remake of Super Mario 2: Yoshi's Island. Instead of the typical Princess Peach rescue mission, Mario and his friends need Yoshi's help to defeat the great Kamek. Most of the cast takes on a new baby form, including Baby Mario and Baby Bowser. They are just plain adorable in this iteration, and the cuteness factor gets even better with the many color variations of Yoshis. Kirby & The Amazing Mirror Image via HAL Laboratory, Flagship, and Dimps If you love the platformer escapades of Mario, you'll certainly enjoy Kirby & The Amazing Mirror. You'll take on the role of not one, not two, not three, but four different variants of Kirby. Using the mobile phone, you and your friends can work together online or locally to restore Dream Land to its former glory. I've always loved how OP Kirby feels in light of his copy ability, which inherits other beings' skills by inhaling them. It gives enemies a taste of their own medicine while also providing a diverse array of combat strategies. Golden Sun Image via Camelot Software Planning Like Fire Emblem, Golden Sun is another classic RPG from the Nintendo collection that first took shape on the Game Boy Advance. While the Lost Age is widely known as the best game in the franchise, it's crucial to start with the original GS to understand the story completely. Not only will you go deeper into its expansive lore, but you'll also feel powerful with the magic of Psynergy, wielding the elemental abilities. The Djinn system, a unique feature of Golden Sun, is the true highlight of the game. These entities, which you collect throughout your journey, can be used to enhance your Psynergy. Each Djinn has its own elemental affinity, and experimenting with their different classes proves entertaining. Densetsu no Starfy series Screenshot via Nintendo YouTube When it comes to the Densetsu no Starfy series (also known as The Legendary Starfy), there's not really a wrong choice since they all are exceptional in their own right. The Game Boy Advance Nintendo Switch Online subscription offers three entries for you to play, including DNS 1 to 3. Initially, these platformer games were only available in Japan, but now everyone can finally experience it globally with the NSO. If you want to play the games in order, you can begin with the first in the series, diving into the underwater tales of the main protagonist, Starfy. However, you're welcome to try out the second or third titles to explore more unique worlds.

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 has two available options for buyers, and the Gold Edition is the premium experience you might be looking for. The Gold Edition is the more expensive choice and an alternate if you don't want to acquire the Standard Edition. Since you're paying extra, you'll also get extra content related to the game. Before you buy, it's always important to assess if the extra content is something you want to experience, or if it's a better idea to save your money. Let's take a look at what the Gold Edition has to offer compared to the Standard Edition, and whether it's worth the extra bucks. Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Gold Edition Price and Contents The base game of Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, aka the Standard Edition, will cost $59.99 on PC and $69.99 on consoles. The Standard Edition offers the base game but nothing extra. Of course, the pre-order bonus (active as of writing) is available for both editions, and you'll get an exclusive quest that allows you to obtain Knight Brunswick's armor and weapon set. For $10 extra, here's the complete list of everything you get with the Gold Edition. Base Game Gallant Huntsman's Kit 3 Upcoming Expansions Shields of Season Passing Now, interestingly enough, the Gallant Huntsman's Kit is an exclusive available only with the Gold Edition. The upcoming expansions and Shields of Season Passing will be available with the Expansion Pass (yet to become available on Steam). [Hidden Content] Should you buy Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Gold Edition If you loved the first game and believe in the abilities of Warhorse Studios, paying the $10 at this stage is worth it. We have no idea about how much the Expansion Pass is going to cost. If I had to guess, I would suppose that it would cost more than the additional price you pay for your Gold Edition. Three expansions (excluding all other bonuses) for $10, in the world of AAA games, and $100 Deluxe Editions is a good deal. Additionally, you'll also get the Gallant Huntsman's Kit, which is exclusive to the premium version of the game. Ultimately, it's your choice if you want the base game for now — you can always pick up the Expansion Pass in the future. For casual players, this will be the way to go. But if you're someone looking to spend plenty of hours in the game and clear every side quest possible, the Gold Edition will be the perfect option to begin your adventure in the 15th-century medieval times.

The sequel to 2018's Kingdom Come: Deliverance – conveniently called Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 – will be dropping today. Now, it's been a few years since the first game, so what if you've forgotten the story? Or, what if, like me, you're not familiar with the original? Well, fear not. Developer Warhorse Studios has evidently taken that into account by providing a handy Story Recap. Whether you're new to the series or just need a reminder, the below 10-minute video will bring you up to speed, just in time for the sequel. [Hidden Content] You'll be taken all the way back to the events of the first Kingdom Come: Deliverance, which followed Henry on a quest to avenge the ******* of his father. We get to see him join the service of Lord Radzig Kobyla, as he seeks to retrieve his father's sword while fighting in the resistance. The deliverance of plot According to Steam, Deliverance 2 is scheduled to release in just a few hours. The sequel follows on directly from the first game, which will see you take on the role of Henry once more, as he, again, embarks on a "journey of epic proportions." The Story Recap, despite being 10 minutes long, is actually a really handy way to learn all you need to know before diving into the new release. I must admit, having not played Kingdom Come: Deliverance, I find it quite useful – and refreshing – that Warhorse Studios has seen to make sure nobody has to go into the sequel blind. It also answers the question I had hanging above me about whether you needed to play the first game in the series in order to enjoy this one. If anything, having the story recapped for me in a convenient video format only makes me want to play Deliverance 2 more. The last time I saw a developer doing something like this was for Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. But maybe I've not been paying enough attention to sequels recently.

The best shooters are fast. Nothing quite beats the thrill of darting around a level, sliding into enemies, exploding their heads, and doing it all with a sense of unrivaled style. That's why I regularly come back to Vanquish, Titanfall 2, and Neon White's campaigns, because sometimes I just want to shoot some guys and look good doing it. This is where Turbo Overkill comes in, as the beloved boomer shooter is suddenly cheaper, and prettier, than ever. Read the rest of the story...

New details about the upcoming Assassin's Creed Shadows are circulating online after an artbook purportedly leaked on, among other places, a hub for hentai. Spotted over on r/GamingLeaksAndRumours, an artbook entitled "The Art of Assassin's Creed Shadows" has been spreading like wildfire around the internet. It contains several hundred pages of concept art, quotations, and development info surrounding the next Assassin's Creed. The leak itself is notable, but the post on Reddit also alleged it originated from a site known for hosting hentai. Bizarre, to say the least. IGN has asked Ubisoft for comment. The gallery had already been removed from the site in question, but has since been archived in other file-sharing sites and galleries. Several interesting details are shown throughout, including concepts for famous historical characters, major cities, and a variety of weapons. The art also, presumably, leaks some potential spoilers for the plot of Assassin's Creed Shadows. We can't confirm as much until the game is actually out, but the images we have seen seem real enough. The leak arrives just ahead of Assassin's Creed Shadows' launch on March 20, 2025, after a previous delay pushed it out of 2024 into February. At a recent preview event for Shadows, IGN spoke with Assassin's Creed Shadows game director Charles Benoit, who confirmed that the month delay was "mostly about polishing" and did not change any big systems. The team did update "a couple of things in progression to make it more engaging, also balancing a bit more," Benoit added, but the main feature that needed extra tweaking was the parkour system, which was running up against an obstacle unique to Feudal Japan. "The Japanese architecture, the roofs [are] super complex," he said. "Probably the most complex thing that I ever worked with if we compared to Odyssey and Syndicate. We needed specific codes and specific animations to support something super fluid, changing the transition of the parkour to make it even more fluid. So that's one of the specific feedback that we heard that we wanted to address, and it really improved since the last few months." Wesley is the *** News Editor for IGN.

Smite 2's early access has attracted a fair number of players across different platforms, and there is a healthy amount of choice available in the game. Like Smite 1, you can play different roles based on your preferences, and each one has various options. The free-to-play beta phase already has over 50 Gods available, and some of them are simply better than the rest. The tier list will help you to zero down on your mains, and invest your resources in a judicious fashion. Smite 2 S-tier Gods The S-tier list is all about the very best options currently available. These Gods are the absolute best choices in their respective roles, and they're almost 'broken' in the right hands in Smite 2. GodRolesStrengthsAladdinJungleGreat mobility on the map, and massive scope to catch the enemy unaware. He's also the new boy on the roster. SobekSoloSobek's abilities and DPS make it really easy to chop down opponents.RaSolo, SupportRa is arguably the most flexible God to try out, and he's also pretty easy to master. UllrCarryIf you ignore his Ultimate, Ullr is arguably one of the best damage dealers in the game.YemojaSupportYemoja is so easy to master, that she's a must-have healer for any team. Smite 2 A-tier Gods These Gods are pretty powerful in the current meta, and some of them might be considered A-tier in their own dedicated roles. Once you manage to master them in Smite 2, they will help you get plenty of wins in the future. GodRolesStrengthsAthenaJungle, SupportAthena's abilities are simple and they're easy to land. Her abilities also do a lot of damage, and you don't have to chain insane combos to perform them. She can quite easily be considered in the S-tier if you have mastered her. GebSupportIn my books, Geb is the best tank currently available in the game. His pure survivability makes Geb perfect for beginners. ThanatosJungleThe task with Thanatos is simple: Ambush your enemies and eliminate them. Just play aggro with him, and it should be enough. AphroditeSupport, MiddleMy only gripe with Aphrodite is the need for coordination, as you'll want to play close to an ally to get the most out of her. HecateMiddle, SupportA very well-rounded God who excels in both offensive and defensive abilities. CabrakanSupport, Solo, JungleCabrakan might not be Geb in terms of survivability, but he is a tank, alright. Moreover, he's much more flexible in terms of available roles, which makes him a good main choice for a beginner.ZeusCarry, MiddleThe God of Thunder has excellent range punishment thanks to his abilities, which are buffed by his passive.CupidCarry, MiddleThe God of Love is easy to manage, and his supercharged abilities can do a lot of damage. DanzaburouJungleDan's ability to create multiple clones can severely confuse the enemy, and it's really unique.NemesisSolo, JungleNemesis' God Aspect can revive her from death, and deal an absurd amount of damage. With the God Aspect, she's pretty close to S-tier as well. Smite 2 B-tier Gods These Gods are not as effective as the ones mentioned in the S-tier and the A-tier, but they can get the job done. Just don't expect them to be overpowered, and you'll also need to be pretty good at timing their abilities to get the most out of them. I haven't elaborated about their strengths, because I don't think they're viable in the long run. However, I have mentioned their recommended roles. GodRolesThorJungleLokiJungleBellonaSoloBacchusSoloBaron SamediMiddle, Solo, SupportAnhurCarryChaacSoloCernunnosCarryHerculesSolo, JungleHadesSolo, MiddleAgniMiddleAnubisSoloMedusaMiddle, CarryMulanSoloNeithMiddle, CarryMordred Solo, JungleVulcanMiddle*****Solo, JunglePoseidonMiddleNu WaMiddle Smite 2 C-tier Gods If you don't care about wins, love these Gods, and just want to have a good time, go for it. God RolesAresSoloFebrirJungleAmetarasuSoloIzanamiCarry, MiddleKhepri SupportSolMiddle, CarryKukulkanMiddleSusanoJungleThe MorriganMiddleJing WeiCarryOdinJungle, SoloYmirSupport This tier list will be undergoing a lot of changes as Hi-Rez continues to make tweaks and alterations to the existing characters. Additionally, the emergence of a new God will also shift a few positions based on how effective they are on the meta. The post Smite 2 tier list: All Gods ranked appeared first on Destructoid.

It feels like the announcement of the Nintendo Switch 2 was a long time coming. We've been anticipating it for a few years now, especially with the OG Switch now very much reaching the end of its lifecycle. In fact, sales of the hybrid console suggest everyone's on tenterhooks, just waiting for the arrival of the Switch 2. In a recent financial report, Nintendo said that sales have decreased once more, with net profits down by 31.4% year-on-year. [Hidden Content] A further statement in the report says that sales from the company's "game console business decreased by 31.7% year-on-year to 895.5 billion yen." Nintendo even saw a decrease in "mobile and IP related income," which is being blamed on a decrease in sales on the likes of The Super Mario Bros. Movie that was released in April 2023. Switching over Despite even sales of the Nintendo Switch OLED edition dropping when compared to the last financial year, it wasn't all bad news. Sure, sales of Nintendo first-party games also dipped somewhat, but the likes of Super Mario Jamboree and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe have now sold 6.17 million and 5.38 million units, respectively. In fact, according to the report, Jamboree's "cumulative global sell-through" exceeded 5.6 million copies within the first eleven weeks of its release. This means it surpassed the "pace of sales" when compared to other Switch games like Super Mario Party and Mario Party Superstars. However, the decline in sales overall won't come as a great surprise to many. It seems fairly clear that the gaming industry is just now waiting for the release of the Switch 2. Nintendo announced the follow-up system recently, but we don't have a release date for it yet. We've been told it's coming sometime this year and that more details are to follow at the next Nintendo Direct, which is scheduled for April. No doubt, sales of the original Switch are only going to decline as we go forward.
