Atari and WayForward recently reinvented a classic arcade title with the release of Yars Rising, a complete reimagining of the 1982 shooter Yars' Revenge. Now Atari and IDW Publishing have joined forces to release a Yars Rising prequel comic. With the preorder deadline for Yars Rising #1 happening on Monday, October 7, IGN can exclusively debut a new preview of the first issue. Check it out in the slideshow gallery below: Yars Rising #1 is a one-shot special written by WayForward's Adam Tierney and drawn by Ele Bruni, with cover art by Ashleigh Hetrick. As the preview shows, the comic retains the unusual anime-inspired aesthetic of the game. The comic is set before the events of the game, as hacker extraordinaire Emi Kimura and her friends deal with the consequences of a job gone bad. "I'm thrilled to be working with Atari and IDW on the official Yars Rising one-shot comic book prequel," Tierney tells IGN. "While developing the Yars Rising video game, I loved writing dialog for our crazy hacker crew of Emi, Mal, Anthony, and Kyan. So it was a blast to revisit these characters in comic book format, and see how they work together in an earlier (but just as dangerous) adventure that takes place right at Emi's home. I couldn't think of a better publisher for this book than IDW or a more perfect artist than the amazing Ele Bruni. I hope everyone enjoys the Yars Rising video game, out now on PC and consoles, and very soon, the official comic book prequel, too!" Yars Rising #1 is priced at $4.99 will be released on November 13, 2024.

Final Fantasy 7 might not be a horror game, but one breakout horror hit from 2024 takes a lot of inspiration from the classic RPG. Released in May after a clever marketing campaign that leaned on 90s-style advertisements, Crow Country takes things back to the PlayStation 1 era while carving out its own niche. As a survival horror title, it's been most heavily compared to games like the original Resident Evil and Silent Hill, a fair evaluation that nonetheless ignores the equally obvious connections to FF7 and fails to fully explain Crow Country's unique brand of charm.

Sony’s controversial PlayStation Network requirement for its PC games is once again in the spotlight after the company delisted the original Horizon Zero Dawn on Steam and the Epic Games Store and added the PSN requirement to the upcoming single-player remaster. Sony’s PSN account requirement for its PC games was thrust into the limelight with the release of Arrowhead’s explosive PC and PS5 co-op shooter Helldivers 2 earlier this year. Helldivers 2 suffered a review ***** campaign on Steam after Sony made PSN accounts mandatory for PC gamers on Valve’s platform (Arrowhead subsequently decided to turn the Steam user review history graph into a cape, which is ready for launch but has yet to release). Sony eventually backed down and reversed Helldivers 2’s PSN account requirement, but the game ******** unavailable to buy in the many countries that lack PSN. And indeed all Sony’s games on PC, even purely single-player ones, now suffer from this problem, which means the recently released **** of War Ragnarök and now Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered are unavailable on Steam in over 100 countries. This week, fans noticed the original Horizon Zero Dawn, previously available to buy in all countries where Steam is accessible, was delisted from the Epic Games Store and then from Steam itself. The Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition Steam page ******** live, but the game itself is unavailable for purchase. In its place is the option to pre-purchase Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered or buy its sequel, Forbidden West. The Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered Steam page signals the PSN account requirement in the small print of the game’s features. Again, the original game did not have this requirement on PC. Already negative user reviews are mentioning Sony’s actions here. “Delisted the original game just to add the remaster with PSN account forced into the game,” reads one recent Steam review for the Complete Edition of Zero Dawn. “Now countries unsupported by PSN can't buy this game anymore whether it's the non remastered version (which doesn't require PSN) or remastered version.” It seems likely, then, that Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered will suffer from review ******** when it goes on ***** on Steam on October 31. It seems unlikely that Sony will reverse course here, having suffered a backlash from PC gamers to pretty much all its Steam releases since Helldivers 2 went on *****. It has so far ******* to comment on its PC PSN policy, although during the Helldivers 2 backlash it offered reasoning that was widely ridiculed by Steam gamers. "We’re still learning what is best for PC players and your feedback has been invaluable," Sony said at the time. Unlike Helldivers 2, Horizon Zero Dawn is a purely single-player only game. It’s worth noting that Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition is still available on GOG. There it is DRM-free, with no activation or online connection required to play.

Image: Epic Games In February, Disney and Epic Games announced that they were collaborating on a “persistent universe” that would feature characters from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, and more. Disney franchises have been featured in Fortnite for years, but this new universe promises to be something grander — and will be interoperable with Fortnite. Disney and Epic didn’t share many details about how this would all work when it was announced. But after talking to Epic executives during Unreal Fest in Seattle this week, I’ve learned a bit more about what to expect. A lot of it comes down to connecting into Epic’s ecosystem. “Disney wants a persistent place where all things Disney can be there, but they want to be part of an ecosystem we’ve built,” Epic...

Whether you've already signed up for and started playing Throne and Liberty and want a way to keep playing while away from your gaming PC or you've held off from playing it because you don't have a PC that's fast enough, you no longer need to worry. With the addition of Throne and Liberty to Nvidia GeForce Now, you can play the game on just about any device you can think of, from phones to TVs. With Throne and Liberty currently blowing up on Steam, jumping high into the top five most-played games on the platform, it's no surprise Nvidia has been quick to add the title to its game streaming service. However, while the new MMPORG might be free-to-play, if you don't have access to a PC - even one without one of the best graphics cards around - you'd normally struggle to get in on the fun. With the game now added to GeForce Now, though, you have many more ways to play. Read the rest of the story...
