Remnant 2 developer Gunfire Games just announced the game’s third and final DLC, The Dark Horizon, is launching in September. We’re returning to the shattered hellscape of N’Erud, where “a bizarre phenomenon has taken hold,” and it looks like we’re getting more than we bargained for. Previous Remnant 2 expansions sent us back to Losomn and Yaesha, so returning to N’Erud is no surprise. This one looks like a departure from the others, though, as the developer’s July 26 announcement says it wants The Dark Horizon to be Remnant 2’s “most expansive DLC,” teasing a “brand-new game mode” that’s “free for everyone” alongside a new progression system.

Today is a big day for No Rest for the Wicked, the action RPG from Moon Studios. The stunning fantasy game has been in Steam Early Access for a little over three months, and while updates were initially fast and furious, things have slowed down a fair bit. That was intentional, as the developer shifted into a development stage where the focus has moved to working on ******* features, rather than addressing smaller (but important) issues as they arise following the launch. This latest update is the first to arrive after this change in focus. Read more View the full article

Hasbro has announced through a recent earnings report that Monopoly Go - the immensely popular video game from Scopely - has brought in over 3 billion dollars in revenue since its release in April last year. That's over 15 million times past go, folks. An absurd amount of money. This continues a trend of wild milestones for the mobile game, which previously pass the 1 billion mark only seven months after its launch. What's interesting with that figure is that it indicates not only that Monopoly Go is maintaining its momentum post-launch, but actually ramping up the income it generates over time. One only wonders if this trend can continue, or if Monopoly Go will soon taper off. Commenting on the milestone in the Hasbro Q2 financial report, Hasbro CEO Chris Cocks stated: " Since launch, the game has grossed over $3 billion in revenue, making Hasbro the top licensor of video games over the past year according to Aldora. The team continues to have an active pipeline of licensing opportunities across PC, console, mobile and casino, leveraging our rich IP." Read more View the full article

Image: The Verge Valve has introduced some changes to Steam that should make it easier to find and install playable game demos. In a new events blog post, Steam said the “Great Steam Demo Update” was based on developer and player feedback, with new functionality that makes demos behave more like standalone games hosted on the platform. For one, demos can now have a store page that’s completely separate from the main game, allowing developers to display demo-specific content like trailers, screenshots, and supported features. These pages will also display buttons to both install the demo and visit the main game’s store page, and allow players to leave demo-specific reviews. And if a demo becomes available for a game that users have on their wishlists, or... Continue reading… View the full article

Hero shooter Marvel Rivals hit San Diego Comic-**** 2024 with a long list of announcements, including story details, new character reveals, and the voice cast. During a Marvel Games presentation at SDCC, developer NetEase showed attendees trailers for the Marvel Rivals story, as well as a feature on Thor and Jeff the Landshark, who join the roster of playable characters on July 29. As you’d expect, Thor, the **** of Thunder, brings his powerful hammer and lightning abilities, while Jeff the Land Shark adds… his own unique charm and ferocity to the game. Marvel Rivals is a free-to-play superhero team-based PvP shooter in the Overwatch style, with fan-favorite characters such as Spider-Man, ****** Panther, and Doctor Strange available to play. The closed beta, which ends on August 5, is available on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox with cross-play and cross-region support. It's yet another entry in the already crowded hero shooter genre, but it looks like Marvel Rivals may make an impact, if the interest in the closed beta is anything to go by. The closed beta has already posted impressive player numbers on Steam, hitting a peak of 52,671 concurrents since it went live on July 23. Sony and Microsoft do not reveal player numbers for PlayStation or Xbox consoles, respectively. Meanwhile, the Marvel Rivals voice cast includes Cassandra Lee Morris (Persona 5’s Morgana) as Galacta, Troy Baker as Loki, Nolan North as Rocket Raccoon, Yuri Lowenthal as Spider-Man, and Mara Junot as Storm. Other playable characters include Groot, The Punisher, Hela, Iron Man, Magneto, and Venom. While the focus here is very much on PvP gameplay, Marvel Rivals does feature a narrative, which revolves around heroes and villains uniting against a “looming cosmic threat.” Doctor ***** is set up as the antagonist. Be sure to check out IGN’s impressions of Marvel Rivals to find out what we think about the game. Wesley is the *** News Editor for IGN. Find him on Twitter at @wyp100.
