While every VALORANT agent offers diversity with unique abilities, players believe none of them are as “complete” as Gekko—and they aren’t wrong.

Amazon’s MMO New World looks set to hit consoles after the game was spotted on the PlayStation Store. Redditor OMG_R3A11Y saw New World appear on their console's PlayStation Store and published a screenshot before the listing was apparently removed. New World launched in 2021 on Steam and became a rare video game hit for Amazon. The free-to-play MMO set in an alternate 1600s America saw huge concurrent player numbers on Steam, and is currently the eighth most-played game on Valve’s platform all-time with a whopping 913,634 peak concurrents. Player numbers have declined since that peak, however, with Steam concurrents hovering around the 10,000 mark in recent weeks. A console release would certainly provide a boost, and a confirmation seems imminent after the official New World X/Twitter account teased “an exciting announcement” for Summer Game Fest, which kicks off today, June 7, at 2pm Pacific / 5pm Eastern / 10pm ***. A new dawn approaches Look out for an exciting announcement tomorrow during #SummerGameFest. Starts 2PM PT on [Hidden Content]. [Hidden Content] — New World (@playnewworld) June 6, 2024 Questions remain, however. The PlayStation Store insert is for a game called New World Aeternum, whereas the Steam version is simply called New World. Perhaps the console version is a different game entirely, or Aeternum is the name of a new expansion that will replace the original name across all versions. Or, New World Aeternum may mark a new beginning for the MMO, similar to Final Fantasy 14 A Realm Reborn. Fans are also wondering whether New World is also set for Xbox Series X and S, given the insert was spotted on the PlayStation Store. Image credit: OMG_R3A11Y / Reddit.

Crazy Viking Studios, the developer behind the 2013 action platformer Volgarr the Viking, has finally announced a follow-up to the hit indie game more than a decade later. Simply titled Volgarr the Viking 2, the long-belated sequel is set to revive the franchise with a more brutal successor that aims to significantly enhance the gameplay elements of its predecessor while sticking true to its old-school arcade roots. Arguably the most exciting part of this reveal, though, is that the indie game is surprisingly close to being released. View the full article

When is the Dynasty Warriors Origins release date? Ever since the PlayStation 2 era, the Dynasty Warriors series has focused on two key concepts: having more playable characters than a typical fighting game, and battering through thousands of enemies. Now, it seems that the newest game in the long-running series is focusing on one unnamed protagonist, but at least they're still slaying tons of foes at once on their journey through the history of the Three Kingdoms conflict. While we barely know how this single playable protagonist affects the story in the action game, we'll likely get to make key decisions that affect the war. In Dynasty Warriors Origins, you may discover the consequences of pursuing Lu Bu at Hulao Gate and preventing Guan Yu from reuniting with Liu Bei. Perhaps you'll even determine who the new Emperor of China will be. Read the rest of the story... View the full article

Fallout: London's developers have locked in a new release date for the game-sized mod, and it'll seemigly be coming up very soon. Yup, while the exact date's been settled, the team has decided not to fully reveal it quite yet, keeping us all on our toes. If you're out of the loop, Fallout: London's a full conversion mod for Fallout 4 that's set to let us explore a post-apocalytic version of the English capital, complete with fresh factions and quests. After Fallout 4's next-gen update forced its creators to abandon their planned release date of April 23, the mod has been left in what's felt like a bit of a purgatory. But no longer! Yesterday afternoon, Team FOLON got everyone going by simply tweeting "We have a new date. Stay safe and remember. Mind the gap." Naturally, that's incited plenty of interest from the folks who've been eagerly waiting the mod's arrival with bated breath, and project lead Dean 'Prilladog' Carter has provided some additional info on where the team's at via the Fallout: London Discord server.

In my eternal quest to describe games concisely enough that you don’t feel robbed of time you could have just watched a trailer with, I am compelled to use many of the same words and word combinations ad nauseam. So, when a game like horror tower defence Bella Wants Blood comes along and uses some odd nouns, I get all excited. Here, that’s because I get to recklessly spaff out terms like ‘Blood Gutters’, ‘The Rattler’, and your friend and mine, ‘The Stabber’. Barely an atom quivers in Bella Wants Blood that hasn’t been stylised or made odd and alluring in some way. Read more View the full article

Another remaster of Halo: Combat Evolved looks to be in the works, and - close your eyes if you've attatched your happiness to a certain green brand in a rather unhealthy manner - could be in consideration for a release on PS5, in what would be a pretty noteworthy moment for a series that's long been considered one of Xbox's hallmark exclusives. This is according to a report from The Verge's Tom Warren, who writes that this new Combat Evolved remaster is in the early stages of its development right now. The report goes on to suggest that it's one of the games under consideration for a PS5 release as part of Microsoft's new strategy of actually bringing some of the titles it'd previously have held on to as exclusives to the consoles of direct competitors. You know, the likes of Nintendo and Sony. The internal name for this game plan, according to Warren, is "Project Latitude". Read more View the full article

Back in 2020, fresh out of high school and feeling unstoppable, Charles Maddock and a few friends “decided to code a game about Fish Wizards.” The result was Fishards, Magicka-inspired PVP arena action that has you out-squirt, out-splash, and out-spellcast your mates.
