Destiny raids have always featured fights against the universe's biggest bad guys, but they don't get ******* than what's waiting at the end of Salvation's Edge. The Final Shape's raid, opening its doors tomorrow at 10 AM Pacific, will finally pit players against The Witness—the primordial antagonist whose forces we've been fighting for a decade. Imagine like, the most evil guy, but times a million. The Witness is like that. But worse! In the raid trailer released today, Bungie's hype building is as on-point as ever, with all the slick slow-motion and song-synchronized **** reloads we've come to expect from a Destiny sizzle reel. Judging from all the clusters of massive, grasping hands and agonized, dismembered statues, Salvation's Edge looks like it'll be spooky. As it should—the raid will basically involve crashing The Witness's art studio, where it's in the middle of resculpting the entire universe into a big, sadistic Lego diorama. As is tradition, the opening of Salvation's Edge will also mark the kickoff of the accompanying race for the world's first raid clear, with Destiny's premier raiders competing to see who can ****** each encounter's mechanics the fastest. Hopefully, those fireteams will only have raid enemies to worry about: Considering the recent Final Shape rollout woes and the server difficulties that disrupted the 2022 Vow of the Disciple raid race, it's hard to overlook the looming threat of race day connection errors. Even if you're not a raider—hello, fellow Destiny casuals—the raid race is still worth getting excited over. Since Destiny 2's Forsaken expansion in 2018, the first raid clears have usually triggered some wild changes in the game world, sometimes changing entire in-game areas in response to the often cosmic-scale conflict. Considering The Final Shape's raid will conclude a decade of storytelling on a battlefield that can warp all of reality, I'm hoping we've got some big surprises in store...

Discovering and unlocking the Prismatic subclass is a huge focus of The Final Shape campaign in Destiny 2, but some players are frustrated because it feels like most missions are restricting their loadouts and forcing them to use it. Despite how it may seem at first, however, that’s actually not the case.Bound enemies are the primary cause of most players’ frustrations. These glowing pink enemies are immune to all sources of damage until a player activates Transcendence — a special ability unique to the Prismatic subclass — and removes their shields to make them vulnerable to normal weapons and abilities. Since Transcendence is a Prismatic ability, most players feel like The Final Shape campaign forces them to only use the new subclass instead of their existing Light and Darkness builds.Screenshot: PC InvasionAs it turns out, though, you can actually use Solar, Arc, Void, Stasis, or Strand subclasses perfectly fine in The Final Shape campaign When you encoun...View the full article

Developer Player First Games has released a new patch for its free-to-play fighting game MultiVersus. The patch includes various fixes and improvements, along with details about how the Iron Giant will be nerfed when he returns. As noted in a new blog post, the MultiVersus 1.01 patch notes first mention that Iron Gaint is still unplayable after the developer previously pulled the character from the roster. They also note that a status update will be shared sometime next week. The Iron Giant was removed from the MultiVersus character roster after complaints that he was overpowered and was causing an unfair advantage. The patch notes mention that this next update should add changes that will "prevent Iron Giant from chaining certain sets of ******* infinitely." Two things getting nerfed in Iron Giant's move set are the Ground Side *******, which will get a "slightly smaller" hitbox, and his Rage Mode Up Special, which will decrease the final hit damage from 5 to 6. Another noteworthy change coming to Patch 1.01 includes fixing an issue that was causing performance problems for the Xbox Series X/S version and addressing an issue where specific keyboard configurations caused phantom inputs during a match. MultiVersus was fully released last May, after an early access and beta versions of the game were held from July 2022 until June 2023. Upon its full release, MultiVersus received a ton of compliments, with one player saying the full release felt "more like a beta than the beta." Below is the full list of patch notes for MultiVersus patch 1.01.

Iron GiantThe goal of these changes is to prevent Iron Giant from chaining certain sets of attacks infinitely.

Well, time to break out the Dr. Doofenshmirtz "two nickels" meme again, because once again the stars have aligned and we have two indie games in close proximity with oddly similar setups. In this case, it's the premise of an adorable, recently deceased ****** cat that finds themselves having to navigate the afterlife. We previously saw that just a week ago with Umbraclaw, and now we're set see it again soon with Crypt Custodian, from developer Kyle Thompson (best known for Islets and Sheepo) and publishers Top Hat Studios. But where Umbraclaw's protagonist gets to become a badass warrior, here, our protagonist Pluto is tasked with being the afterlife's janitor for all of eternity. But this punishment leads to what appears to be one impressive adventure, as seen in the trailer at this link, which also reveals that the game is coming out sooner than you might imagine.
