The release of Honkai: Star Rail 2.2 is very important, as the game concludes its main story arc this year while also adding new characters, quests, and even enemies to face. Version 2.2 is the third and final patch to add main campaign missions related to the planet of Penacony. In fact, these conclude the story being told on the Planet of Festivities and have players gearing up for the release of the next major destination, likely at some point in 2025.

Another massive video game company has been hit by layoffs in what is proving to be one of - if not the - toughest ******* for those working in the industry in recent memory. This time it's Square Enix up to the cutting board, as the company has announced layoffs in both its ********* and ********* departments. Square Enix itself has yet to offer an official announcement. This, first reported by VGC, comes soon after Square announced poor financial results compared to last year, due in large part to the cancellation of some unannounced video games. This move was made to better fit with a new longer-term company strategy - dubbed "Square Enix Reboots and Awakens" - but has resulted in a 70% profit deficit in contrast to this time last year. What these games are ******** a mystery, but it appears that the publication of this information came as a retreating tide, followed shortly by this wave of Square Enix layoffs. The news was broken to staff via a company'wide town hall meeting, in which president Takashi Kiryu stated that over the next month those from publishing, IT, and Square Enix’s Collective indie games division would be most affected. The exact number of layoffs has not been confirmed. Read more View the full article

Chances are, if you ask any fan of League of Legends esports who the best Western team has been over the last few years, nine out of 10 folks would say G2 Esports. And in a recent graphic shown on the 2024 Mid-Season Invitational broadcast, the numbers signaling just how much better G2 have performed in comparison to the rest of their Western counterparts is staggering. The graphic, titled “Fighting the Raid Boss,” showed off just how effective G2 have been in comparison to the rest of the West when facing off against Korean and ******** League teams over the last two seasons. G2’s win rate against the East is just over 29 percent over the last two seasons, while everyone else from the West is putting up a combined win rate of eight percent (yes, it’s that low).

In 2022, fans of the 1990s adventure series Monkey Island finally got another game with Return to Monkey Island, which notably marked creator Ron Gilbert's first time directing a Monkey Island project in 30 years. Now, it looks like Gilbert has another project up his sleeve that's due out just two (or maybe three) years later. As pointed out by Time Extension, Gilbert has been sharing progress on an untitled RPG that's described as "classic Zelda meets Diablo meets Thimbleweed Park," according to studio Terrible Toybox's website. Screenshots of the game shared on Gilbert's Mastodon account show off a top-down pixel art style reminiscent of classic Zelda titles, flaunting a few quaint houses in a woodsy area as well as some classic dungeons, spooky forests, and a ********* full of skeletons. Earlier this week, Gilbert also announced that Elissa ****** is joining the team as a quest designer. "This ups the chance by 37% that I'll finish the game before becoming bored and disillusioned," his post reads. According to publisher Terrible Toybox's website, the untitled game will be released in "late 2024 (or maybe early 2025, this is gamedev after all)." IGN gave Return to Monkey Island a 9 in our review, saying Gilbert's return to directing a Monkey Island game "meant a lot to me before I ever clicked to start a New Game, and it meant far more after the end credits rolled." We also crowned it as the best puzzle game of 2022, and it finally made its way to mobile last summer. Amelia Zollner is a freelance writer at IGN who loves all things indie and Nintendo. Outside of IGN, they've contributed to sites like Polygon and Rock Paper Shotgun, and they're currently developing a game called Garage *****. Find them on Twitter: @ameliazollner.

I thought opening the impossible door in Mario 64 was the coolest thing that’d happened to the Nintendo 64 in years, but Mr. Wiseguy’s just-released N64 Recompiled blows me away. It’s a tool that theoretically lets you turn any N64 game into a native PC port, the better to play and preserve N64 games — and to showcase its abilities, you can already download Windows and Linux-native apps for The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask that seem to run incredibly well. It almost seems too good to be true: I just double-clicked an EXE file on my Windows laptop, told the app where to find a Majora’s Mask ROM file, and was immediately playing a copy of the game that felt incredibly responsive to my every press on a 165Hz variable refresh rate screen,...

Manor Lords does not yet have official mod support, but that hasn't stopped industrious modders from doing their thing with it. A VR mod popped up at the beginning of May, and last week someone put Shrek into the game. Which is all well and good, and developer Slavic Magic seems very supportive of the efforts overall. But he does have one request: If you're using a Manor Lords mod, please don't submit Manor Lords bug reports... Read more.View the full article

Ark: Survival Ascended may already have plenty of scaly beasts roaming the lands but a forthcoming update is about to make the deep even scarier thanks to the introduction of a toothy new fish.

While this next addition may not have size on its side, it certainly makes up for its diminutive stature with a terrifying set of fangs. View the full article
Fallout 2 designer John Deiley discussed his original idea for the intelligent deathclaws of Vault 13, and how they were unceremoniously ******* off before they could be developed further as a concept. Even though the Fallout franchise has always been known for its special brand of humor contrasted against the bleakness of a post-apocalyptic wasteland, Fallout 2 is widely viewed as the entry where its humor is front and center. The wasteland is littered with pop-culture references, from Monty Python to The Terminator, and even the player protagonist being ironically referred to as The Chosen One exemplifies the overall direction that Fallout 2 decided to take.

Enlarge / Timely art from the game Traverser, soon to be published by developer Gatling Goat Studios. (credit: Gatling Goat Studios/****** Swim Games) [/url] Warner Bros. Discovery has spent at least two months threatening more than a dozen indie games developers with the "retirement" of their games, with little to no response as to why they couldn't do something simple and much better for the games' players and creators. Late last week, one of the ****** Swim Games creators impacted by Warner Bros. Discovery's (WBD) seeming shutdown posted on X (formerly Twitter) that he received an email from Warner Bros. indicating that his Duck Game was "safe." "[T]he game is being returned to corptron along with [its] store pages on all platforms," Landon wrote. The same went for Owen Deery, whose notice from WBD about his game Small Radios Big Televisions brought attention to the media conglomerate's actions and who posted that his game, too, will have its ownership and store listings returned to him. As noted by PC Gamer, the 60-day timeline originally provided to developers for their games to be delisted has passed, and yet most of the ****** Swim Games titles are still up.
