Marvel Rivals’ latest event, The Spring Festival, will be starting soon, bringing a brand-new free skin for Star-Lord. If you’re wondering why the event called The Spring Festival is happening so early in the year, that’s because the event is meant to tie in with the Lunar New Year, which is also called Spring Festival in China. Likely, Marvel Rivals wanted to avoid even more Overwatch comparisons by calling it the Lunar New Year event the same way Overwatch does. View the full article

For fans of the 2D platformer Celeste, you'll be sad to hear that the developers' next game, Earthblade, has been canceled. In a blot post titled "Final Earthblade Update," Extremely OK Games announced that its follow-up to the award-winning game Celeste has been canceled. In the post, EXOK Director of R&D Maddy Thorson detailed the reasoning behind the decision, and what's next for the studio. "Lat last month, Noel [Berry, EXOK Computer Programmer] made the difficult decision to cancel Earthblade... We made this decision in December and felt it best to wait until now to announce it." Thorson's post details that at some point last year a dispute arose between Thorson and Berry and Earthblade art director Pedro Medeiros over the IP rights of Celeste. Thorson declined to detail the dispute other than to say that there was a resolution reached and Medeiros parted ways with the team and is now developing a separate game titled Neverway. However, this dispute gave Thorson and Berry a chance to examine where they were at with Earthblade and discovered that the project was not coming along the way they had hoped. "Noel and I also began to reflect on how the game has felt for us to work on day-to-day and realized that it has been a strongle for a long time. Sure, working on one project for so long is bound to become a slog, but this feels like a deeper problem." Thorson says Celeste's success "applied pressure on us to deliver something ******* and better with Earthblade, and that pressure is a large part of why working on it has become so exhausting." Thorson also says the dispute with Medeiros "has given us clarity to see that we have lost our way, and the opportunity to admit defeat." As for what's next, Thorson says she and Berry are are prototyping new ideas again and trying to return to a game development process similar to how they made Celeste and TowerFall. Celeste was released in 2018 as a throwback to the pixel 2D platformers of old. The game's brilliant level design, difficulty, music, and everything else around it earned it a perfect score in our Celeste review. A trailer for Earthblade was released in 2022 showing that it was going to be a new 2D platformer. Matt Kim is IGN's Senior Features Editor. View the full article

The RTX 4090 is a lot thicker than the RTX 5090. | Photo by Tom Warren / The Verge Nvidia has posted a new video showcasing a history of Founders Edition graphics card designs that explores the design of its new RTX 5090 and confirms a previously leaked prototype that used an unconventionally large four-slot design. As noted by VideoCardz, the prototype “Titan ADA” card first revealed by leaker Kopite7kimi included a triple-fan cooling system, and earlier this month, Gamers Nexus tested and tore down a working version of the prototype. [/url] In the video published today, Nvidia’s EVP of system products, Andrew Bell, explains that Nvidia cards were trending larger and larger, and they wanted to change that. “We didn’t like the idea of it taking up four slots; it was big, it was unwieldy, it worked in a limited number of chassis,” Bell said. [Hidden Content] Bell says that the prototype triple-fan cooling system influenced Nvidia’s Blackwell architecture. However, the latest RTX 5090 Founders Edition card that we are currently testing achieves its goals through a modular four-part design with a separate I/O board that allows air to flow through for a more efficient and compact cooler. According to Nvidia, these changes are why the new 5090 fits in two slots on the motherboard compared to the previous three-slot 4090. View the full article
If you frequent the Path of Exile 2 subreddit, you'll see plenty of screenshots of the in-game chatlog as players share snapshots of witty repartee or bemoan the rampant spambots advertising level boosting and low-price orbs.

That poor bastard was one Imagineddy, who quickly became something between a martyr figure for PoE 2 players and a precious little guy who must be protected at all costs...

EA has announced today that it is revising its outlook for the fiscal year after a slowdown in Global Football net bookings growth, and Dragon Age: The Veilguard missed the company's internal targets by nearly 50%. In a press release, the company said it was reducing its expectations for the fiscal year ending March of 2025 from mid-single-digit growth to mid-single-digit decline. The largest culprit, EA says, was global football, aka EA Sports FC, which it says experienced a slowdown last year in Q3 after two consecutive fiscal years of double-digit net bookings growth. In the press release, EA CEO Andrew Wilson specifically pointed to EA Sports FC 25 as underperforming. But in addition to global football, EA also mentioned that Dragon Age "engaged" 1.5 million players during the quarter, which was down nearly 50% from the company's projections. Notably, EA does not say the 1.5 million number was unit sales - Dragon Age: The Veilguard was also available as a part of EA's Play Pro subscription service. Additionally, it's not clear whether EA is counting a free trial of the game that was available through the cheaper EA Play subscription in the 1.5 million number either. Dragon Age: The Veilguard released on October 31, 2024, and EA's report only covers the final quarter of the year through the end of December, meaning these engagement totals encompass the game's first two months on the market. It's worth noting that 1.5 million (or thereabouts) isn't an awful sales number, and companies overestimating sales targets is nothing new. In its first three days on the market, The Veilguard managed to debut at No.6 on Circana's charts for the top-selling games in the US, and that's not including Steam digital sales. However, an analyst we spoke to in November suggested that Veilguard had tough road ahead: "Just looking at the first days of sales and initial engagement levels via Circana's Player Engagement Tracker, it's been a good - but not great - launch," said Mat Piscatella at Circana. "Dragon Age: The Veilguard did not reach the launch week sales levels of either Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth or Dragon's Dogma II, and it will be a bit of an uphill battle to reach Inquisition's lifetime sales." There's been some smoke around Dragon Age: The Veilguard's struggles, such as it receiving a significant discount just a month after launch for Cyber Monday, and the departure of its director, Corinne Busche, from BioWare just last week. We've chronicled some of the game's development challenges already, including layoffs and the departure of several project leads at different stages. We also thought Dragon Age: The Veilguard was amazing, saying it "refreshes and reinvigorates this storied series with enjoyable action combat, a fantastic cast of companions, and moving character writing."
