Dead Drop, the first mission of Sniper Elite: Resistance’s campaign after the prologue, tasks you with finding a ******* intelligence mole before the Gestapo. You’ll need to complete a handful of objectives involving Vertigo’s intel and also take out a hunter named Philo Beck who’s renowned in the Nazi party. That all sounds simple enough, right? Guess again. Vertigo’s dead drop isn’t located conveniently out in the open; it’s buried in the heart of a Nazi fortress. On top of that, you can’t just take out Beck however you see fit. The game requires you to kill him with a rat bomb to mark the optional objective as complete and earn its unique weapon reward. View the full article

Witchbook has been a highly anticipated video game in the cozy gaming community ever since its initial announcement back in 2018. Taking on a classically cheerful, pixel-art style similar to Stardew Valley, Witchbrook already looks like a cozy game that will have a bit of a familiar feel for Stardew Valley fans. However, Witchbrook's unique blend of life simulation with a narrative revolving around magic, primarily due to the game's focus on a magical academy, is what has stirred anticipation in the gaming community. Developed by Chucklefish, the game has been in development for seven years, leaving it easy to wonder if Witchbrook will finally be released in 2025. View the full article

BioWare says that it’s “turning towards the future and preparing for the next chapter” in its studio after reassigning some developers to other teams within EA. In a new blog post, BioWare general manager Gary McKay said that the studio is “changing how we build games to meet the needs of our upcoming projects and hold ourselves to the highest quality standards.” Money-making standards were not met by Dragon Age: The Veilguard, though, and EA has said as much.

With the enjoyable but ultimately underperforming Dragon Age The Veilguard now behind it, BioWare's next mission is to create a stellar new entry in its beloved Mass Effect series. However, despite the game having been in pre-production for a few years now, it still seems it's nowhere near ready to ramp up into full production. BioWare has just announced that while an experienced "core team" continues to work on the next Mass Effect game, it is restructuring the studio and is seeing many of its devs reallocated to work on other EA projects.

Ferrite Dust is one of the most basic resources in No Man’s Sky, used for early crafting and, later on, for building. Most metal/alloy-base structures require Ferrite Dust to build, and if you plan to build a fancy base, you’re gonna need a lot of it. You also need Ferrite Dust for multiple everyday items to survive, from Starship Launch Fuel and Ion Batteries to more advanced trading minerals that are great for farming Units like Lemmium and Dirty Brzone.

While League of Legends’ balancing team is always on the hunt to nerf and buff champions to keep them healthy, certain champions like K’Sante often slip under the radar and become a problem in everyone’s matches. In a Reddit discussion, players are asking Riot Games why K’Sante’s growing popularity in League matches isn’t leading to a nerf, making him more vulnerable to his counters and adding more diversity in the top lane. “Riot not touching K’Sante next patch is absurd,” a player said, talking about how the champion has always been potent since his release.

There aren't enough stylish action games like Ninja Gaiden in the world. Nothing draws me in as instantly as a great one: I relish struggling through punishing combat in games that give me the tools to move and battle in a way that’s typically reserved for flashy cutscenes, and demand I use them or die. Intense enemy encounters and rhythmic timing mixed with Tony Hawk-style experimentation just hits that sweet spot—and I don’t think any game mixes both of these in their most extreme forms more than Ninja Gaiden 2...

Sony's game publishing arm has done a 180-degree turn on a controversial policy of requiring PC players to sign in with PlayStation accounts for some games, according to a blog post by the company. A PlayStation account will "become optional" for Marvel's Spider-Man 2, God of War Ragnarok, The Last of Us Part II Remastered, and Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered. Sony hasn't lost hope that players will still go ahead and use a PlayStation account, though, as it's tying several benefits to signing in. Logging in with PlayStation will be required to access trophies, the PlayStation equivalent of achievements. (Steam achievements appear to be supported regardless.) It will also allow friend management, provided you have social contacts on the PlayStation Network. Read full article Comments View the full article

Meanwhile, the 2022 hit God of War Ragnarok was brought to PC in September. View the full article
Two very different Ninja Gaiden titles are in development. Despite this duality, they celebrate important eras in the franchise’s history. Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound is a side-scrolling platformer that captures the action of a '90s Nintendo Entertainment System craze. Ninja Gaiden 4, on the other hand, is the next chapter in an ultra violent action game that helped establish Microsoft’s Xbox consoles as a serious contender. It is a smart move of Koei Tecmo to cater to both sets of fans that are after conflicting styles. View the full article

PlayStation and Quantic Dream’s story-driven adventure game Beyond: Two Souls is getting a TV series reimagining from original star Elliot Page. Deadline reports that Page’s Pageboy Productions has acquired the rights from Quantic Dream in the hopes of adapting it into a television show. The project is said to be in early development and is expected to keep the video game experience’s non-linear narrative in mind as work progresses. Additional details, including casting information and release plans, have yet to be revealed. Page told Deadline that filming Beyond: Two Souls was “one of the most challenging and fulfilling acting experiences” of his career. He continued: “The story’s rich narrative and emotional depth offer us a fantastic foundation. We want to create a unique vision of the characters and their journeys that resonates with fans and newcomers.” Pageboy head of development and production Matt Jordan Smitt elaborated on how he, Page, and the rest of the team plan to “honor the game’s legacy while inviting fresh perspectives.” He added: “Delving into questions of survival and how split-second decisions can alter not just our lives, but the lives of others, are key to telling the story.” The original Beyond: Two Souls launched for the PlayStation 3 in 2013 before eventually making its way to PlayStation 4 and PC in 2015 and 2019, respectively. Directed and written by Quantic Dream’s David Cage, it follows the story of Jodie Holmes, a girl with psychic powers that allow her to communicate with a spirit she calls Aiden. Aside from the non-linear narrative that explores different sections of her life, the game was known for its inclusion of big-name actors like Page and Willem Dafoe. Cage said he is collaborating with Page on the Beyond: Two Souls TV show, though the extent of his involvement is unclear. “We are absolutely thrilled to collaborate again with Elliot Page on this project,” Cage said. “I was blown away by his acting performance in the game, and I couldn’t think of anyone else to tell this story with the same passion on another medium. Beyond: Two Souls is a very special game for millions of players around the world who were moved by the story of Jodie and Aiden, and their journey in life and beyond. I know that Elliot has all the talent and instinct to make it something really unique on TV.” It will be some time before the Beyond: Two Souls TV series makes its debut. In the meantime, you can see IGN’s original review for the game here and all of our Quantic Dream video game reviews here. Michael Cripe is a freelance contributor with IGN.
