Earlier today, the International Olympic Committee announced that the first-ever Olympic Esports Games will take place in Saudi Arabia in 2025. In its announcement, the IOC revealed that the Olympic Esports Games is part of the organization’s 12-year partnership with the National Olympic Committee of Saudi Arabia. However, the particular details for the Olympic Esports Games, such as its city, date, qualifications for prospective players, and game titles, have yet to be hashed out. “As a ‘first’ ever Esports Olympic Games, obviously there is still much to consider and plan with the IOC, but we are committed to hosting a special event that respects and celebrates the Olympic values while boldly seizing the momentum to drive esports forward with the international platform the sport and its athletes deserve,” Prince Abdulaziz bin Turki Al Faisal, president of the Saudi Arabian Olympic and Paralympic Committee said. “The world will have an open invitation to join us in 2025 and celebrate this moment together.“ “We are very fortunate to be able to work with the Saudi NOC on the Olympic Esports Games, because it has great – if not unique – expertise in the field of esports with all its stakeholders. The Olympic Esports Games will greatly benefit from this experience,” IOC President Thomas Bach wrote. “By partnering with the Saudi NOC we have also ensured that the Olympic values are respected, in particular, with regard to the game titles on the programme, the promotion of gender equality and engagement with the young audience, which is embracing esports.” In its announcement, the IOC also revealed plans for the International Federation and the National Olympic Committees’ “e-version” of sports to include in the Olympic Esports Games. According to Engadget, this edict coincides with the organization’s esports “trial event” from last year, which saw athletes compete in Gran Turismo, Just Dance, and Fortnite. While the Olympic Esports Games’ games have yet to be announced, the IOC is reportedly eying partnerships with prominent video game publishers like Epic Games, Capcom, and Riot Games to have Rocket League, Street Fighter, and League of Legends take part in the inaugural event, according to L'Equipe. While the announcement of the first-ever Olympic Esports Games comes as an exciting surprise to gamers around the world, it also comes with a bit of dissent. Particularly with Saudi Arabia’s controversial human rights record, which includes allegations of unjust treatment of women and members of the LGBTQ community. This isn’t the first time Saudi Arabia has invested heavily in the gaming sphere. Back in 2021, Prince Mohammed bin Salman invested over $3 billion in Take-Two, EA, and Activision Blizzard. As of 2022, Mohammed bin Salman’s Electronic Gaming Development Company has 96.18 percent of King of Fighters, Fatal Fury, and Samurai Shodown developer SNK’s company shares, according to The Verge.

Among the first-person games in the Fallout series, Fallout 4 is often considered the weakest. While its combat and movement are much more fluid than previous entries, it lacked many of the role-playing elements that the franchise had built its identity around. In comparison to Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas, it lacked a sense of character voice and choice for the protagonist. Yet there is one area of the game that even its critics must admit Fallout 4 handles far better than its predecessors, and that is how the game handles its companions. View the full article

An Elden Ring modder is basically turning the entire game into Bloodborne through the implementation of trick weapons, parrying firearms, quick steps, a permanent night, and more spookiness. As reported by GamesRadar, Nexus Mods user Noctis created the Graceborne: Bloodborne Inspired Overhaul, its name obviously blending Bloodborne with Elden Ring's "grace." The mod is "still in its infancy" but aims to "turn Elden Ring's base game into a more grim and sinister experience." Noctis recently shared a video on YouTube asking modders to help them create the mod, as "undertaking Graceborne's full scope alone would simply be impossible." Despite this, Graceborne already has 22 armor sets, 35 weapons, 17 trick weapons, and five firearms. The mod aims to add more than just weapons and armor inspired by Bloodborne, however, as it instead looks to recreate the entire gothic horror atmosphere. This isn't someone recreating Bloodborne within Elden Ring, but instead someone applying a Bloodborne filter to it. The alpha is currently available to download, which alongside the myriad armor and ******* pieces includes gameplay additions including "**** parrying, no equipment load, quicksteps when locked on, perma-night, Bloodborne-style healing," and more, Noctis said. "It also replaces the appearance of several mobs and bosses to fit in the aesthetic of the overhaul." It's perhaps the closest fans will get to playing Bloodborne on PC as the PlayStation 4 exclusive still hasn't joined other Sony titles in making the jump. Modders have worked hard to emulate the experience before, including by adding Bloodborne models and weapons to ***** of P. Elden Ring is still plenty beloved by itself, of course, as both the base game and its Shadow of the Erdtree expansion earned 10/10 reviews from IGN. Its release in June 2024, alongside assertion from FromSoftware that it will be Elden Ring's only expansion, has fans wondering what comes next Company president Hidetaka Miyazaki isn't giving anything away yet, but he has said not even Elden Ring is his perfect role-playing game.

Image: EA / Respawn Entertainment Apex Legends can’t seem to catch a break. The game has been plagued with a pair of high-profile issues for the last few weeks. First up, earlier this week, the hero shooter’s developer, Respawn Entertainment, announced it was retooling the game’s battle pass. For season 22 and beyond, the battle pass will now be split into two halves, with 60 levels for each half. Additionally, players will no longer be able to purchase a battle pass with AC or Apex’s in-game currency. “The decision to move from AC to real world currency is not one that we made lightly, but it does allow us to decrease the price of Premium+ for our community,” the announcement read. Starting with Season 22, we’re evolving the Apex Legends Battle Pass to improve your... Continue reading… View the full article
Enlarge / Analogue is launching another limited edition version of its Pocket console, this time with an anodized aluminum body and buttons. (credit: Analogue) [/url] Analogue has released multiple variations of the Analogue Pocket, its Game Boy-style handheld console that can play old cartridges and game ROMs using its FPGA chip. But until now, all of those designs have been riffs on the regular Pocket’s ****** (or white) plastic shell. The company’s latest Pocket iteration might appeal more to people who prefer the solidity and durability of anodized aluminum to the cheap practicality of plastic. On July 15, the company will release a limited run of all-aluminum Analogue Pocket consoles in four different colors: white, gray, ******, and a Game Boy Advance-esque indigo. The company says that "every single piece" of these consoles is "entirely CNC'd from aluminum," including not just the frame but also all of the buttons. The new material will cost you though: each aluminum Pocket sells for $500, over twice as much as the $220 price of a regular plastic Pocket.
