It looks like Monster Hunter: Wilds is skipping portable gaming platforms - including the Nintendo Switch - due to the technical limitations of the hardware. This was stated in a stakeholders meeting in response to a question asking about the game's absence from consoles like the Nintendo Switch. The response reads as follows, "One concept we’ve incorporated into this title is aiming to portray the maximum of the world of Monster Hunter by utilizing the latest technology to its limit. To that end, the platforms capable of realizing that concept are currently the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Going forward, we will provide more thorough details regarding these concepts and themes when we release information on the game. We hope you look forward to it." It's sensible reasoning all-in-all, with various other companies attemtping to bring their franchises to the Switch in the past with little success. Just look at the Mortal Kombat 1 Switch port for one of the more hilarious examples of technical limitations getting in the way of a good time. The strength of that console has never been its power, or the graphical fidelity its been able to push out, but the core arsenal of ******* games of high quality. If bringing Monster Hunter: Wilds to the Switch means a significantly worse game, then maybe we're better off. Read more View the full article

I hope you're ready for blood sucking, fancy shirt tucking, and a whole lot of- well, you know, because What We Do in the Shadows season 6 is just a few months away. All good things must come to an end, or so the saying goes, even though you don't always want them to. But, unfortunately that is the case for the beloved comedy mockumentary series What We Do in the Shadows, which will be wrapping things up with its sixth and final season later this year. And by later this year, I mean just three months away, as FX has finally set the premiere date for this final season: October 21. It's obviously very seasonally appropriate, with Halloween right around the corner, and apparently it will arrive with three episodes right off the bat (pun very much intended). After that, it will stick to a weekly schedule for a total of 11 episodes, with every episode airing on Hulu the next day. Sorry to international fans, though, as there doesn't appear to be an international release date just yet, but they will air on Disney+ whenever they are released in other territories.

The day has finally come, and Hotfix 1.0.4 is out, bringing Vulgus Strategic Outpost changes and improved rewards from Special Operations. Here’s everything you need to know about The First Descendant Hotfix 1.0.4 and what to expect from the upcoming August update. Everything included in The First Descendant Hotfix 1.0.4The Good, the Bad, and the Outposts Fortress might get a little quieter. Screenshot by Dot Esports In Hotfix 1.0.4, The First Descendant increases the time between monster respawns and adjusts the reward efficiency of the Vulgus Strategic Outposts. This change reduces the rewards from the Vulgus Strategic Outpost in the Fortress. Developer Nexon highlighted, however, that it set the reward efficiency “significantly higher than originally intended,” so the nerf might not be as impactful as we feared. View the full article
It’s been a few months since Project L, the League of Legends fighting game, changed its name to 2XKO, and players are still wondering why that name changed. The announcement happened back in February 2024, when Riot revealed the new name, confirmed a playtest and a release date of 2025, and a handful of new details. The name, 2XKO, is a little different than any other League-based game, so when Dot Esports had a chance to talk to Shaun Rivera, the game director, at Evo on July 21, we had to ask what went into the decision-making.

Lycoris Recoil, one of 2022's most popular anime original series, is getting a miniseries to help tide you over while you wait for season 2. Most of the time, anime that aren't based on manga don't end up being nearly as popular as series that are, but in 2022 Lycoris Recoil beat the odds. It was so good that even Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima couldn't help but sing its praises, and he even got matching shirts to wear with Drive director Nicolas Winding Refn (who is also obviously the face model of Heartman in ****** Stranding). If you're reading this, Kojima - or if you're just a fan of the anime - I have some good news! The official ********* Twitter account for Lycoris Recoil announced yesterday that a six-episode miniseries focusing on the daily lives of Chisato, Takina, and others is on the way. Lycoris Recoil director Shingo Adachi will be supervising the six episodes, with each of them featuring different people on directorial and storyboarding duties. Original character designer Imigimuru is also in charge of some of the scripts too. There aren't any more details other than that, though a sneak peak was shown in the tweet, which you can see above.

Of all the Nintendo games getting the remake and remaster treatment throughout the Switch generation, one metallic little charmer has gone mainly ignored. The last time Chibi-Robo starred in a game was back in 2015 with Chibi-Robo Zip Lash on the 3DS, and since then there’s been nothing. Part of this may be down to the apparent dissolution of Skip Ltd, the studio that was responsible for the Chibi-Robo series. With Skip no longer around, it appears Nintendo has been hesitant to hand the robo-buddy’s power adaptor to another studio. Read More... View the full article

When I thought I had left school behind, the “Academic acronym” clue in the July 24 NYT Mini Crossword pulls me back in. I would get detention for saying this, but I never liked school much; the routine, getting up early, doing the same thing every day of every week so I could leave and get a job doing… exactly the same thing. But I digress. The “Academic acronym” clue harks back to my formative years, and learning has helped me with this answer. View the full article
