But Pokémon Scarlet and Violet has now snatched that record. View the full article

I’m going to be frankly honest with you; I had no idea which League of Legends champion said this quote. I had to do some research before landing on the answer (don’t blame me. You had to ask Google a favor, too). Read on for the Nov. 19 LoLdle quote answer. Who says “‘I will take an eye… heh, as if I don’t have enough already” in LoL? I had no idea. Screenshot by Dot Esports The LoLdle quote for Nov. 19 is “I will take an eye… heh, as if I don’t have enough already.” The League champion who says this voice line is Master Yi. You know, the samurai guy with the massive sword. View the full article

Good morning, how about a nice big bowl of your favourite breakfast cereal: Corporate Consolidation? Sony are in talks to buy Kadokawa, the parent company of Elden Ring developer From Software. Sony is eyeing up the company as a hefty snack because they want the various manga and anime owned by Kadokawa, according to a report by Reuters. But also because they want all the tasty games owned by them too, such as the Danganronpa series, the Octopath Traveler games, and the biggest corn flake of them all, the Dark Souls series.

Sony is reportedly in talks to buy Kadokawa, whose subsidiary FromSoftware is behind smash hit Elden Ring, the Dark Souls and Armored Core games, and PlayStation exclusive Bloodborne. Reuters reports that Sony is looking to add to its entertainment portfolio. Kadokawa’s business extends into areas that fit into Sony’s broader entertainment offering, which includes anime, manga, TV, and film. Kadokawa is a prolific publisher of anime, and Sony already owns anime streamers Crunchyroll and Funimation. Talks between Sony and Kadokawa are reportedly ongoing. If the talks are successful, Reuters said, a deal could be signed in the coming weeks. Sony and Kadokawa declined to comment when asked by Reuters. Kadokawa is the majority owner of FromSoftware, with around 70% of the company. Sony already owns around 14% of FromSoftware, with Tencent owning around 16%. FromSoftware has yet to announce its next game to follow this year’s Elden Ring DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree. For Sony, its gaming business has already suffered significant layoffs this year and the closure of multiple studios, including Concord developer Firewalk. In February, it announced a round of layoffs affecting 900 staff, or about 8% of its global PlayStation workforce. The layoffs impacted a number of PlayStation studios, including Insomniac, Naughty Dog, Guerrilla, and Firesprite, but PlayStation's London studio was hit hardest with a notice of closure. Since then, Sony-owned Bungie has also suffered devastating cuts as Destiny 2 struggles to find commercial success. Wesley is the *** News Editor for IGN. Find him on Twitter at @wyp100.

Final Fantasy XIV has released Patch 7.1, which includes the first tier of the newest Alliance Raid, another section of MSQ, new crafting materials such as the Royal Damask, recipes, and more. Among these new crafting materials is Royal Damask, which you'll likely find difficult to get. Considering this cloth is used as an ingredient for only a single recipe, it might not be surprising that it can take a lot of effort to pick up, if you decide to farm it yourself instead of purchasing it, that is.

Game Source Entertainment has revealed the 2025 release window for Ratatan, the spiritual successor of cult-classic Patapon. When the original Patapon released on the PSP in 2007, the game seemed to be largely indicative of the experimental attitude that PlayStation appeared to be taking towards many of its first-party video games. As a rhythm series with a generally small scale and an emphasis on the d-pad and face buttons, Patapon seemed to thrive. Ratatan may be able to carry on the legacy of the Patapon series now that enough gamers have shown they want these titles back in some form. View the full article

Gird your bank account because the end-of-year savings have begun in earnest. Now is the best time to take aim at that game you've been coveting for months. Just make sure you're ready to pull the trigger on the purchase quickly, as I'm seeing deals disappear not too long after they pop. Happy hunting! In retro news, I'm celebrating the 30th anniversary of the piggybacking oddity that was Sonic & Knuckles for Mega Drive. Dubbed "lock-on technology" by *****, the general idea was to pop the top on this adapter and slap on either a Sonic 3 or Sonic 2 cartridge to inject a playable Knuckles the Echidna in. With Sonic 2, that meant ol' mate punchy could be used to wall-climb and inexplicably glide in the usual level layouts. In Sonic 3, however, the changes were more profound (think: tweaked level routes, a new "Super Emerald" collection layer, and the chance to unlock Hyper Sonic/Knuckles/Tails with a True Ending). Basically, it was proto DLC that I recall thinking was "heaps rad."

PS5 Pro Enhanced Bargain Need a cheap Pro showcase title? Alan Wake 2 - $90.95 / $109 The greatest improvement here is obvious—ray tracing, a feature that Remedy had to drop early on in development. To my eye, "Performance" and "Quality" modes in Alan Wake 2 have witnessed Pro Enhancement, with the former seeing obvious benefits from a higher output resolution as well as improved graphical detail over the PS5 version (noted in more convincing shadows, lusher foliage, and similar details). Obviously, both modes work under the new PSSR solution, but I appreciated the (sadly only 30 fps) Quality mode with its better image stability and quality, fog, volumetric lighting, and shadow accuracy.

While it's certainly had its issues, Vessel of Hatred has mostly gone over well with Diablo 4 players - the new Spiritborn class is a popular and powerful new addition, and the swathe of gameplay additions and improvements that arrived alongside it have strengthened its position as an excellent ARPG. Diablo 4's sixth season, Season of Hatred Rising, also dropped alongside it, but all of its offerings could be enjoyed by everyone, with or without the DLC. However, it sounds like it's not going to stay that way, as Diablo general manager Rod Fergusson has revealed that future seasons will bring "exclusive" content to those that own Vessel of Hatred.
