Elden Ring Nightreign has long been known to take place in a parallel world to Elden Ring, but it's unclear exactly how deep the two realms' connections go. Both clearly feature the eponymous Elden Ring, and the various Roundtable Holds indicate that there are spatial similarities beyond Limveld's passing resemblance to Limgrave, but there has yet to be any concrete evidence of a shared timeline. There is, however, a minute detail in one of Nightreign's trailers that confirms some very important events from Elden Ring also took place in its continuity. View the full article

Destructoid, I have something I need to get off my chest that feels petty the more I think about it, but has become a ******* concern as a physical video game collector. Why on earth of the Switch 2 boxes, and box art, so darn ugly? I adore collecting physical media and having a shelf of content to pick out during my time off. I enjoy looking at my collection of games, books, and the aesthetic it gives off. But the Nintendo Switch 2 boxes aren't cutting it for me. For those who haven't seen the Switch 2 box art yet, they are red with a thick label at the top of the box with the Switch 2 logo dead center, with the game's box art underneath it with all the usual bells and whistles you'd expect to see. I get it. Nintendo had to do something to make the box art different from the Switch 1 so consumers didn't pick up a Nintendo Switch 2 box and think it would work on the older system, but the more I look into the box art for day one and year one games, the less appealing I've been finding it. [Hidden Content] This feeling was heightened by the recent reveal of the Pokémon Legends Z-A Switch and Switch 2 Edition boxes. The Switch box art is minimal and gorgeous, letting the art pop out with a small Switch 1 logo. The Switch 2 version, though, feels condensed, and don't even get me started on the massive text box at the bottom of the Switch 2 edition games that feel like an eyesore. I think for these versions, I would rather buy the Nintendo Switch version and pay for the upgrade fee digitally so that I have a piece of physical media that I care about. But I can't help but wonder if it's just a me thing, or if others share the same views. Let me know in the comments below what you think. The post Is it me, or is the Nintendo Switch 2 box art really ugly? appeared first on Destructoid. View the full article

Elden Ring Nightreign’s release is just hours away, and publisher Bandai Namco has detailed its day-one patch, which makes some important changes to the game. Patch 1.01 is out now, Bandai Namco said, with the multiplayer spin-off set to go live on May 29 or May 30, depending on your timezone. Check out the Elden Ring Nightreign global release times for more. The patch, Bandai Namco said, improves “handling” of playable characters, makes balance adjustments, tweaks text, adds character scenarios, and adds to the soundtrack. There are bug fixes in there, too. “This update brings gameplay and stability improvements to ensure an optimal experience for your first steps in Limveld,” Bandai Namco said. You’ll know you have the latest version of the game on launch day if you see ‘Ver. 1.01’ displayed on the bottom right of the title screen. In IGN's recent interview with Elden Ring Nightreign director Junya Ishizaki, the development lead discussed the choice to lean on solos and trios as the core experience options. When asked why there's no option for a pair of players to drop in together without a matchmade third player, Ishizaki said it was overlooked. "The simple answer is that this is simply something that was overlooked during development as just a two-player option, so we're very sorry about that," said Ishizaki. "As we said before, we set out to make this a multiplayer co-op game for three players, balanced for three players, so that was the main focus and it's at the core of Nightreign. "Of course, I myself as a player understand that and often want times where I'm just playing myself, so this is something that we considered from the start," Ishizaki continued. "And so we did put a lot of effort into creating this experience that was playable for solo players in as much as the rules and new systems allowed. So in putting all our efforts into that aspect, we kind of overlooked and neglected the duos aspect, but this is something that we are looking at and considering for post-launch support as well." So if you're playing with just your favorite duos partner, be ready to accept a random third into your lives. Who knows? You might match up with someone pretty good at the game. Check out these crucial Elden Ring Nightreign tips and tricks we put together from the network test — and keep an eye on the IGN Nightreign wiki for plenty more guides when the game launches.

The Ukrainian government-run Center for Countering Disinformation have released a warning about a new free-to-play shooter, Squad 22: ZOV, which they say is a blaring propaganda instrument for the Russian military that "mythologises" the country's invasion and bombardment of Ukraine since 2022.

Nearly two years since their release, I have finally regretted never pulling for one broken Genshin Impact character, and I now fear that it may be too late to add them to my roster. The action RPG by HoYoverse is now nearing the end of Version 5.6, an important update that brought forth a relevant Archon Quest that further developed the story of Mondstadt and some of its governing powers. The patch also added Escoffier to Genshin Impact, kicking off the long-rumored Cryo meta with a powerful sub-DPS who has proven to be useful against some of the new bosses. View the full article
