During an ongoing stream on the same day of announcing his retirement, TenZ reassured his gutted fans that he might still return to competitive VALORANT, and sooner than most people think.

The former Sentinels’ player, now turned full-time content creator for the organization, had already been streaming on Twitch and YouTube for two hours before his announcement dropped. He quickly wrapped up his ranked match to shed some light on his deision, opening a window of hope after addressing his decision by telling his viewers he might someday return to pro VALORANT—albeit only for a short *******.

Image: Goblinz Publishing Shogun Showdown sometimes breaks my brain. The new deckbuilding roguelike is all about tactics, and a key part of the game is that you can always see what the enemies plan to do next. Every once in a while, that gets me in a quandary where I know I’ll lose. But when things click into place and I clear everyone out in one fell swoop, I feel like a strategic genius. In the game, which just left early access, you’re constantly trying to position your character across a small level to either ******* your foes or dodge their moves. As you play, you can upgrade your “tiles” (think: cards) to improve their damage, add perks like freezing ice, or lower their cooldown so that you can use them more frequently. You’re also able to stack up to... Continue reading… View the full article

Apologies to those of you hoping to escape to a cosy Hobbit life, but Tales of the Shire has been delayed into 2025. While there's a seemingly infinite number of cosy games to play at any given moment, Lord of the Rings fans were unsurprisingly particularly excited by Tales of the Shire. You get to be a Hobbit and do things like fish, farm, cook, and explore the world of Lord of the Rings in a low-stakes manner, what's not to love? It was originally due out sometime this year, but as the year gets closer and closer towards its end, Wētā Workshop Game Studio has some bad news: the game has been delayed into 2025. It's obviously not the news you'd want to hear, especially when one of the most recent video game entries in the world of Middle-earth was The Lord of the Rings: Gollum. "All of us here at Wētā Workshop are excited to have you join us in the Shire, a peaceful corner of J.R.R. Tolkien's world", wrote Wētā Workshop in a statement. "When a new Hobbit steps into Bywater for the very first time, we want that moment to be everything you're hoping for. To ensure that we deliver that vision, Tales of the Shire will now be launching early 2025. Thank you for your patience and continued support. Be sure to tune into our A Hobbit Day Showcase on September 22nd to learn more about Tales of the Shire and Our new release date. Read more View the full article
The Warhammer 40,000 universe is rich and diverse, full of fascinating factions and complex histories for fans to delve into, and the case is no different with Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2. Each of these factions is exceptionally well documented and detailed, but by far one of the most compelling are the Adeptus Astartes, also known as the Space Marines. One reason for their huge popularity within the Warhammer community, although obviously not exclusively, is their incredible armor. View the full article
It's still a bit unclear how Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 will end, and the game's producer hasn't made that much clearer in a recent interview. When Final Fantasy 7 Remake came out back in 2020, players who hadn't been spoiled by Square Enix's spoilerific trailers quickly discovered that the game actually wasn't a straight up remake, instead presenting things slightly differently. Some changes were more drastic than others, and this year's Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth followed-up on that by offering some of its own differences (as well as keeping certain things mostly the same). But because of the inconsistency around what is and isn't different, fans are obviously wondering how the as of yet untitled third game will pan out, and in a recent interview with Anime News Network, producer Yoshinori Kitase responded to players' questions around how much the story will differ.

Those of you worried that Palworld will go the full live-service route likely don't need to be, as developer ]Pocketpair has no plans to make it free-to-play. Palworld is the kind of game that's pretty perfectly poised to go free-to-play if it wanted to, as all those sales certainly put it in a strong position for a good long while. Many games of its ilk typically are free-to-play these days, opting for microtransactions and DLC as the main form of revenue, but in a recent interview with ASCII Japan (as translated by Automaton), Pocketpair CEO Takuro Mizobe was asked about whether Palworld will switch to the live-service model in its lifetime. "When you think about it from a business perspective, making [Palworld] a live-service game would extend its lifespan and make it more stable in terms of profitability," Mizobe said. "However, the game was not initially designed with that approach in mind, so there would be many challenges involved in taking it down the live-service path." He also pointed out how games like PUBG and Fall Guys managed to successfully switch to a free-to-play model, but noted that both of them "took several years to make the shift. While I understand that the live-service model is good for business, it’s not that easy." Read more View the full article

The second champion of the GeoGuessr World Cup has been crowned today with French competitor Mathieu “Blinky” Huet going one better than his 2023 campaign, ascending the top step with a 3-2 win over ********* player MK and taking home a cool $25,000 prize.

Welcome to another year of competitive Dota 2, where this season’s most dominant team with millions of prize money won and numerous top-tier finals fails to lift the Aegis of Champions. This time it’s Team Falcons, who were bundled out of The International by Tundra 2-0 in the lower bracket. Both games played out similarly with Tundra winning critical teamfights in the 20th minute and building an advantage, wrapping both matches before the hour mark set in. Team Falcons’ elimination is an especially ironic one as it comes at the hands of Tundra—the organization that hosted the Falcons’ core of Skiter and Sneyking before their acquisition late last year.

Dragami Games president Yoshimi Yasuda recently addressed the reception surrounding the recently released Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP, specifically addressing the claims about censorship. Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP was released earlier this September, bringing the 2012 cult classic zombie hack-and-slash game to several modern platforms. Players control cheerleading zombie ******* Juliet Starling, battling the undead before they overrun her high school on her birthday.

Fortunately, as is the case with many Apple Arcade games, it is being ported to consoles by Square Enix under a new name: Fantasian Neo Dimension. View the full article
Just because players can't aim doesn't mean that they can't get involved in some Fallout 4 **** play in the Commonwealth. Of course, there is always the option of using a melee build with all the wacky weapons available to the Sole Survivor, but running at a Deathclaw with a pipe wrench isn't always the most appealing option. Thankfully, for those who don't play many FPS games and can't aim all too well, Bethesda supplies V.A.T.S. (Vault-Tec Assisted Targeting System) for Fallout players to make even the worst shots around deadly and precise assassins. View the full article
