After another unsuccessful year in a new region, VALORANT star Jaccob “yay” Whiteaker is hunting for a new team to call home after losing his starting position on Bleed Esports. The organization announced it would be restructuring a majority of its VALORANT roster, and as a result, four of the five players on the starting roster have been removed and will become restricted free agents for 2025. Along with yay, Deryeon, Retla, and Zest are now RFAs, meaning they’ll also need to find a new team for next year. View the full article

Two new games based on the Halloween series were announced yesterday, and one of them, a pixel art platformer, has already been revealed. Yesterday, Evil *****: The Game developer Boss Team Games announced that it was working on two games based on the Halloween series, with one of them being developed in Unreal Engine 5, even netting the help of the original film's director John Carpenter. While still shrouded in mystery, of the two that was the one with more details, except today the second game was revealed over at IGN, and it turns out it's a 16-bit, '90s era arcade platformer. Titled RetroRealms: Halloween, the game sees you playing as the infamous Michael Myers, where you go around slashing anyone you come across with the character's trusty ******. That isn't the only game Boss Team Games announced either, as the RetroRealms branding is covering a second game, the other also being a 16-bit pixel art platformer, once again adapting Evil *****. Ash Williams once again downs his chainsaw hand, fighting off the undead and more - it essentially looks like the same game, albeit with different settings and Michael Myers and Ash playing slightly differently. Also worth noting is that Shantae series developer WayForward is helping to develop this one, so it seems to be in good hands. Read more View the full article

When Call of Duty players think Zombies, they think Treyarch. Modern Warfare 3’s Zombies mode tried something different with Treyarch at the helm, and it was a success for some. Now, in Season Five Reloaded, Treyarch’s run in MW3 will officially come to an end (it likely wrapped up development months ago to focus on ****** Ops 6), with the final story mission in the MWZ plotline, along with some other minor additions and changes.

I'm no ****** 'em up nutter - or "shmutter", as I understand they prefer to be called - but some of the first games I remember playing are shmups. Games like Maelstrom, Ambrosia's Macintosh clone of Asteroids, and the proto-shmup Crystal Quest from Patrick Buckland, who would go onto make Carmageddon. Little did I know that the humble premise of a small 2D spacecraft ********* baddies on a wrap-around screen would reach the glittering heights of Nova Drift. Had you shown me this game back in 1995, I dare say I'd have shmupped myself. Read more View the full article

****** Myth: Wukong is expected by many to be one of 2024’s biggest titles and threaten the GOTY conversation, so that means it’s time to get involved and secure yourself a handsome pre-order bonus. You’re the odd one out if you’re a developer or publisher not doing at least a pre-order bonus now.

Diablo is one of my favorite videogame series ever. Characterized by complex narratives, jaw-dropping gore, and, of course, a whole lot of hacking and slashing, the world of Sanctuary is one that I happily call home. Yet, in a post-Baldur's Gate 3 world, I've found myself more drawn to strategy games - my recent obsession with Capcom's Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess has affirmed that. So, when I saw Band of Crusaders, which blends the demonic brutality of Diablo with the strategy elements of Age of Empires or Dragon Age: Origins, I was certainly intrigued.

Pulling the right characters is crucial to success in Sword of Convallaria, but more important is investing in them. As they play through the game's campaign, players receive a pool of generic XP that can be applied to any of their summoned characters at will. This increases their base stats, but must be used in conjunction with other materials to unlock new abilities. Players can also spend badges to upgrade their characters, leveling them up along a branching skill tree. They can also equip certain weapons, armor, and accessories to further increase their stats and grant them special buffs. View the full article

When it comes to survival-horror games on Steam, it can be difficult for indie creators to stand out from the crowd and define what makes their take on the genre unique from the plethora of alternative experiences on the storefront. Midnight Forge's Nowhere is the latest game to attempt to carve out its niche in a hyper-competitive market and, if the demo is anything to go by, it could have a profound effect on players. Unfortunately, the preview build is incomplete and barebones, making the idea of Nowhere far more compelling than the actual game. View the full article
As long-time readers will know, I'm a piteous mark for weird little game guys. I’m currently trying to puzzle out what the titular Mother Machine in The Curious Expedition studio Maschinen-Mensch’s upcoming co-op platformer refers to. But, if it’s a reference to forming a parental bond with what the game has saw-me-comingishly named “chaos gremlins”, I'm way ahead of you. Ah, the press release speaketh! Probably should have read some more before I began exclaiming “Chaos Gremlins!” over and over. Have an announcement trailer. Read more View the full article
Following much debate on the matter of erotica photos being removed from the ***** Rising Deluxe Remaster, Capcom has issued a statement on its removal. This statement, attributed to the ***** Rising Deluxe Remaster development team, offers some insight into Capcom's decision not to include the feature in the Deluxe Remaster, with the company arguing that it is not an appropriate reward for survival, and not a skill required from a journalist in Frank’s position. The statement reads as follows: “When developing ***** Rising Deluxe Remaster, we tried our best to create a game that would please returning core fans and appeal to new players alike. As development progressed, we inevitably discovered that we couldn’t include everything from the original game. In the case of the Erotica points system, this was something we discussed at length and decided to remove; not so much as a response to a changing cultural climate, but because we felt there is no need to have a reward points system on this basis. “Additionally, when considering Frank’s situation, it is not an appropriate reward for survival and not a skill required of a journalist trying to stay alive for the next 72 hours during a zombie apocalypse. However, players will still have the right to choose their picture subjects freely, and even though they won’t receive points, it is up to them to decide what photos they will take to represent their journey.” Read more View the full article
Enlarge / He's gesturing towards a PC port that's just out of frame. Trust me. (credit: Rockstar Games) [/url] Rockstar Games fans who don't traffic in game consoles have been waiting over 5,200 days to play the original Red ***** Redemption on PC (even as the PC port of its sequel approaches its fifth anniversary). PC gamers' long wait for a port may soon be over, though, as some promotional copy for the PC version of the game has been briefly leaked online. The suggestive verbiage comes from the PlayStation Store of all places, which as of Tuesday morning described Red ***** Redemption as "now on PC for the first time ever" on the page for the game's 2023 PS4 rerelease. While the language has now been reverted to a more generic description, archived copies of the site from just hours ago include some details of what we can expect of the jump from console to PC: Featuring the complete single-player experience of both games [RDR and Undead Nightmare, from previous context], including bonus content from the Game of the Year edition, Red ***** Redemption features all of the 2023 console version upgrades plus PC specific enhancements including support for increased resolutions, multiple displays, and other accessories, plus spatial surround sound. Red ***** Redemption does not feature multiplayer content. [Hidden Content] The PC port promo copy that appeared on the PlayStation Store page for Red ***** Redemption Tuesday morning. (credit: [Hidden Content]) It's hard to know exactly why a description of a PC port would show up on a Sony store page, but it's easy to picture someone in the PR chain pasting in the wrong platform's promotional copy when updating something on the back end.

Been waiting to find out when Blue Exorcist season 4 is going to be released? Great news, Aniplex has finally announced it, alongside the season's ending theme. More than a decade ago, when Blue Exorcist first aired, it was (unsurprisingly) a lot more popular than it is now. The series definitely lost a lot of momentum due to the fact that the second season released a whole six years after the first in 2017, and it was another seven years after that that season 3 was released, back in January of this year. It's been known for a little while that the wait for season 4 thankfully wouldn't be nearly as long, with an October release window, and earlier today Aniplex finally put a specific date to it: October 5. That date announcement came with a brief new trailer set to this season's ending theme, which you can check out below. This upcoming fourth season will take place over two cours, the first being the Beyond the Snow Saga, which will then be followed up by the Blue Night Saga. That second one is set to air sometime in January 2025, and the constant home of most anime Crunchyroll will have it for streaming. The ending theme, which you can listen to partially in the trailer, is called "Tsurara" and is performed by Yobahi, and sounds suitably emotional at the very least. Read more View the full article
