After patiently waiting, Watch Dogs Legion players will finally be able to experience the game’s online multiplayer mode, which has finally been set to launch next month on March 9, 2021. At first, developer Ubisoft Toronto wanted to release this mode shortly after Watch Dogs Legion was initially launched.

However, the company felt that the online component wasn’t ready for deployment yet, so it decided to postpone its release in order to polish it further and get rid of as many bugs as possible.

Watch Dogs Legion was released in October 2020, making a couple of changes to the familiar Watch Dogs formula and making it even better than before. Perhaps one of the most distinct changes made is the fact that Watch Dogs Legion doesn’t have one particular main protagonist like Aiden Pearce or Marcus Holloway’s role from the previous titles.

Instead, players have the ability to take control of any random non-playable character they see in-game. It’s a truly incredible achievement—a feat that has only been made possible thanks to the innovative technology available over at Ubisoft Toronto.

Thanks to this impressive technology, Watch Dogs Legion is capable of creating unique background data and abilities for different NPCs. As such, players can take control of these characters and use their unique skills to help them progress through the game.

Although the everyday lives of these different NPCs are somewhat dull and formulaic, Watch Dogs Legion’s recruitment system is still one-of-a-kind and definitely makes this latest entry stand out from the other games in the franchise. Recently, Ubisoft announced via the official Watch Dogs Legion Twitter account that the game’s online multiplayer mode will finally be available across the different platforms this coming March.

The addition of this highly anticipated mode will introduce a variety of new content to the game, including a co-op mode that allows a maximum of up to four players to explore and cause havoc across Watch Dogs Legion’s version of London. Together, players will be able to participate in various challenges, events, and side activities.

Co-op missions will be added to the action-adventure title as well, which can be completed by two to four players. These new missions will introduce new cooperative gameplay as well that will truly make this online component distinct from the single-player campaign.

Thanks to these missions, players will be able to form their dream team, as they go through the different in-game landmarks in order to contend with whatever threat may be there.

Asides from the online multiplayer mode, Watch Dogs Legion players can also look forward to the new Spiderbot Arena, which serves as the game’s first PvP mode. This is scheduled to go live on March 9, 2021 as well. This offers an action-packed deathmatch mode that will allow participants to take control of armed spiderbots.

Those who purchased Watch Dogs Legion’s Season Pass have bonus content to be excited about this March 9. Season Pass holders will be able to access two new single-player missions, namely Guardian Protocol and Not in Our Name. Of course, players can expect more DeadSec-related action from these two.

Rainbow Six Siege Announces Surprising Collaboration With Rick & Morty and Resident Evil

When you think of Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege, a collaboration with Adult Swim’s cartoon Rick & Morty probably wouldn’t be the first thing to pop in your head. Yet somehow, the cartoon along with the Resident Evil franchise will be collaborating with Rainbow Six Siege in the future.

Not a lot of details about the collaboration have been revealed yet, except for a few teasers. After all, this information was only announced during a closed preview event for Rainbow Six Siege‘s Operation Crimson Heist expansion. Ubisoft’s online tactical shooter video game is no stranger to collaborations, but most of these were simply crossover events with other titles from the Tom Clancy franchise like Ghost Recon and Splinter Cell.

Of course, the other franchises that it collaborated with in the past made a little bit of sense. For instance, Rainbow Six Siege once had a Tomb Raider elite skin which turned Ash into none other than Lara Croft. Due to the gritty nature of the two games, this crossover didn’t make us scrunch up our faces in confusion.

In fact, any kind of first-person shooter game that collaborates with Rainbow Six Siege wouldn’t be all that puzzling. As such, collaborating with Resident Evil makes a little bit of sense—the Rick & Morty one, though? Not so much. When this information was teased during the recent closed preview, Ubisoft scarcely shared any details about the upcoming collaboration.

However, there are a few concrete details that we do know. For starters, Rainbow Six Siege will be releasing a Jill Valentine elite skin, which will be modeled after the character’s original STARS outfit from the very first Resident Evil title. What’s more, it has been confirmed that Ikumi Nakamura created bundles for several Operators. According to PC Gamer, these include Hibana, Echo, and Smoke, among others.

For those who aren’t familiar with Nakamura, she’s a renowned former creative director who worked on popular titles like Ghostwire Tokyo and The Evil Within series. When it comes to the Rick & Morty collaboration, though, there’s barely any information about it.

As a matter of fact, Ubisoft didn’t even directly name the cartoon. The only reason why the community was able to connect the dots is because the company teased an image of a portal which was very clearly from Rick & Morty. Besides that, a reference was made to an Adult Swim cartoon, but the name or title of the cartoon in question wasn’t stated.

Seeing as Ubisoft was particularly secretive about the collaboration, it doesn’t come as a surprise that there’s scarcely any information about it. All we can do for now is simply speculate and wait for further details. There’s a lot on Ubisoft Montreal’s plate these days, especially since Rainbow Six Siege is preparing to launch its Operation Crimson Heist expansion as well as its Year 6 update.

As such, it’s highly likely that the Rick & Morty collaboration, whatever it may be, is still at the beginning stages and that there’s not much to reveal yet. Still, this hasn’t stopped fans from wondering how the cartoon connects with the first-person shooter in any way and how the collaboration will work.

PlayStation 5 DualSense Controller Life Only Last 417 hours

Briefly, after the launch of the PlayStation 5, many owners began to experience problems with controller drift. Tech problems such as controller drift have begun to become more common within the gaming industry and the PlayStation 5 is, unfortunately, no exception to this. Although, a recent video that features the PlayStation 5 DualSense controller getting broken down could shed some light on why these problems are happening.

For the past few years, controller drifting issues have haunted the gaming community at large. A class-action lawsuit is being made against Sony for its PlayStation 5 controller drifting as well as multiple lawsuits made against Microsoft and Nintendo for the same issues. However, it now appears that a lot of the problems players have had with controller drift appear to come from one place in particular.

ps5-dualsense-reparer-drift-6415209

A recent video by YouTuber iFixit, shows a PlayStation 5 DualSense controller getting torn down into its singular components. Based on the video, the components usually found in any gaming controller are composed of stock joystick hardware that only lasts 417 hours before controller performance begins to deteriorate. The video does a remarkable job of explaining the in-depth details with regards to why this is regularly happening.

417 hours may appear like a long time, but as the YouTuber puts it, if a gamer were to play Call of Duty Warzone on their PlayStation 5 for two hours a day, every day, then it would only take a little over seven months before the controller begins to show signs of degradation in performance. For a controller with a price set at $70, that is not nearly enough time, especially considering the lifespan of any given console ownership is a few years long.

Of course, it’s not ideal for owners to have to replace their controllers every seven months once the controller drifting issues begin to get worse. It’s interesting that the problem of controller drift is beginning to happen more frequently during this console generation. These problems did not happen nearly as usually on consoles such as the PlayStation 4 or Xbox 360.

Fortunately, iFixit talks about an effective way for owners to fix controller drift on the video, but the fact that this is persistently happening to multiple console owners across various platforms is rather concerning.

In addition to PlayStation, Nintendo and Microsoft have also been criticized about controller drifting issues. Thus, it’s certain that this problem is commonplace within the gaming community, but what’s unknown is when exactly this problem will resolve itself. Not just on the PlayStation 5, but also on every other platform where this problem is occurring.

Final Fantasy 16 Producer Teases That Upcoming Title Will Be “Action-Oriented”

Final Fantasy is one of those long-running franchises that has garnered a huge fanbase, with fans always ready and willing to wait for Square Enix to release another installment. This time around, players are looking forward to the release of Final Fantasy 16, which was first announced during last year’s PlayStation 5 showcase.

The game’s developer has been slowly revealing information about the upcoming title since then. Now, more details have been teased by Final Fantasy 16’s producer Naoki Yoshida, with him saying that the upcoming game will be “quite action-oriented.” However, there will be options available for those players who simply want to focus more on the story.

The Final Fantasy franchise has slowly shifted in genre throughout the years. The first 10 mainline titles were more turn-based JRPGs, which helped them achieve admirable graphics and visuals for their time. In the more recent years, Final Fantasy games have more or less turned into action-RPGs.

screenshot-www-youtube-com-2021-02-23-05_05_44

Square Enix first started experimenting with this kind of format with Final Fantasy 11, and it eventually became the standard for the next games that followed. One great example would be Final Fantasy 7 Remake, which has a gameplay that essentially looks and feels more similar to the Kingdom Hearts series than the original Final Fantasy 7 from 1997.

With that in mind, it appears that the next mainline entry in the series will be even more action-packed than fans thought. During a radio appearance, producer Naoki Yoshida talked about Final Fantasy 16 and mentioned that the upcoming game will heavily focus on action. This information was relayed by Gamestalk and translated by Gematsu.

It’s not hard to imagine that this newest entry will be action-packed, though. From the Final Fantasy 16 trailer itself, we can clearly see protagonist Clive Rosfield in combat, fighting similarly to the way Final Fantasy 15’s Noctis fought in the battlefield.

That said, Final Fantasy fans who were more fond of the gameplay of the classic titles may be disappointed by this news. Of course, this is understandable too—the older, turn-based Final Fantasy games had a certain appeal to them as well that this action-RPG format just can’t replicate.

screenshot-www-youtube-com-2021-02-23-08_25_06

On the bright side, Yoshida also said during the radio appearance that Final Fantasy 16 will have a gameplay mode that will allow players to focus more on the story, if that’s what they want. As such, fans who aren’t huge fans of action games and the thrill of combat can easily go through the motions of the game.

Based on this information, we assume that Final Fantasy 16 will feature some kind of casual mode that will have incredibly easy-to-kill enemies that will make it almost impossible to die in-game—or something to that effect. Perhaps the player character will have nearly unlimited health, or maybe some kind of regenerative ability. Of course, these are just speculations, and we’ll have to wait for Square Enix to reveal more information.

In other news, Final Fantasy players were thrilled to hear that Yoshida will be a part of the development of this 16th mainline game. After all, he played a huge role in reviving Final Fantasy 14 and turning it into one of the biggest MMOs in the industry today.

Fall Guys Announces Cuphead Cosmetic Collaboration

Mediatonic released Fall Guys only last year, but it has already collaborated with a plethora of other franchises since then through the release of crossover cosmetics that the Fall Guys bean characters could wear as they waddled their way through the various arenas. Previous properties that were featured in the hit platformer battle royale include popular titles like Alyx, Sonic the Hedgehog, Godzilla, Doom, and so much more.

This time around, it appears that developer Mediatonic has struck a deal with Studio MDHR, and will be featuring yet another renowned game. Mediatonic announced recently via Fall Guys’ official Twitter account that Cuphead and Mugman from the popular Cuphead video game will be available in-game as costumes.

Specifically, the Cuphead skin will be available this Wednesday, while the Mugman skin will be joining the roster by Saturday. Both cosmetic items will cost players 10 crowns each, with each top half costing 5 crowns, while each bottom half will cost another 5. Asides from the new skins, players can also look forward to a new Cuphead-themed emote, which will also cost another 5 crowns.

https://twitter.com/FallGuysGame/status/1363855789274902533?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1363855789274902533%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fgamerant.com%2Ffall-guys-cuphead-collaboration%2F

The costumes look incredibly detailed and well-done. They feature the red and blue colors of Cuphead and Mugman, with the top half of each skin featuring the distinct mug heads. The characters’ iconic straws are even present, as well as their white gloves, colored shorts, and shoes. Like every other Fall Guys skin out there, the bean-like characters can still be seen in some capacity—we can see the characters’ eyes through Cuphead and Mugman’s mouths.

Needless to say, these Cuphead skins are going to be a solid addition to Fall Guys’ collection. Asides from popular games, Mediatonic is no stranger to collaborating with indie titles. The company has partnered with Gris, Untitled Goose Game, My Friend Pedro, Hotline Miami, and Enter the Gungeon as well.

For those who haven’t heard of Cuphead before, it’s a 2017 run and gun video game from developer Studio MDHR. It was an incredibly unique and distinct title upon release, especially since it has aesthetics that made it look like a cartoon from the 30s. In fact, the levels, bosses, and animations were painstakingly hand drawn by the studio.

Several years may have passed before it was finally ready for release, but it was worth it. Cuphead became an incredibly popular game upon release, garnering praise and a myriad of positive reviews from both critics and players. Not only was Cuphead’s aesthetic well-loved, fans were also drawn to its challenging combat and bosses, and unique enemy designs. It was truly a one-of-a-kind experience for many who played the game.

That being said, Studio MDHR will be releasing a new DLC for Cuphead later within the year called Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course. This new slice of content will be bringing a new adventure for Cuphead and Mugman, but Ms. Chalice will be joining them as a third playable character.

Fans can expect new yet still challenging bosses along with sweat-inducing levels. As for Fall Guys, the battle royale is currently in Season 3.5, but it’s expected to release Season 4 soon.

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD Remake Now An Amazon Bestseller

The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword HD now sits on top of the Amazon world. Less than a week after The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword HD was announced for the Nintendo Switch during the Nintendo Direct a few days ago, it is the bestselling title on Amazon US’s bestselling list.

Although The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword HD is an interesting game for most players, there were a few games apparently missing from the recently concluded Nintendo Direct; specifically from the Zelda series.

wccfzeldaskywardswordhd1-9349934

A lot of fans expected to hear an update about the Breath of the Wild sequel while others truly hoped that the HD remakes of both The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess and The Legend of Zelda Wind Waker, classic Wii U games, would be revealed for the Nintendo Switch. However, based on the recent Amazon sales chart info, fans were much more excited in The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword HD after all.

The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword HD now ranks as the number one on Amazon US and fifth in Amazon UK. Obviously, this is based on preorders for the title, as the full launch will not be ready until July 2021. Other related Nintendo titles on the list included Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury.

What is very intriguing about Nintendo and any borderline controversial decision making is that it usually works out in the company’s favor. While Zelda fans left the lengthy 50-minute Nintendo Direct expecting for more and even being frustrated that The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword would be sold at $60, the result for this is that Zelda is on top of the Amazon charts.

Similarly, while several fans were perplexed as to why a title like Super Mario 3D All-Stars would only be available for a limited time until March 31, the game achieved digital sales Switch milestones. For better or worse, Nintendo appears to know what it is doing.

Atlus Announces Shin Megami Tensei Online Concert

Shin Megami Tensei is an incredibly long-running franchise; in fact, it’s been around since 1987. Since then, it didn’t fail to keep rising in popularity. Although, many of the recent titles have been remakes, with Shin Megami Tensei 4 being the latest mainline title that isn’t a remake. Other than that, Atlus created a spin-off franchise from Shin Megami Tensei in the form of the ever-popular Persona series.

Now, it appears that Atlus has decided to give Shin Megami Tensei and its fans some love, as the developer has just announced an online concert for the franchise. Just like Persona, many fans have applauded this classic series for its incredible soundtrack. At this point, there are hundreds of songs in Shin Megami Tensei’s library, most of which are worth listening to for hours on end.

Some of the brains behind the franchise’s soundtrack include Japanese composers Kenichi Tsuchiya, Shoji Meguro, and Toshiko Tasaki. Asides from this, though, fans are also looking forward to the brand-new title Shin Megami Tensei 5, which was announced back in 2017.

The official Twitter account of Atlus West recently announced that the company will be hosting a special Shin Megami Tensei online concert next month. Specifically, the event will take place on March 19, 2021 EST, and it’s expected to have a live orchestra that will play a variety of tracks from the different games in the franchise.

From what we’ve gathered, it looks like this upcoming event serves as a promotion for the HD remaster of Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne, which has been released in Japan already while the English release will follow soon. While this online concert won’t be translated into other languages, English audiences will still be able to enjoy it.

Tickets for the concert will be priced at ¥3,666, which is more or less $37 USD. Fans who are interested in checking out the event can expect performances from artists like “LaiD Back Devil” as well as “others” that haven’t been specified just yet. However, we’re sure that more details will be shared the closer we get to the concert’s date.

That being said, there’s just one catch: fans need to have a ZAIKO membership if they want to watch the online concert. Other than that, it’s required that viewers use a specific internet browser—either Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, or Safari—and it must up-to-date.

Fortunately, interested fans can check out a test stream first before buying tickets to ensure that they’ll be able to watch the online performance with no issues. After all, it would be a huge bummer if fans fork out hard-earned money only to find out that their browser isn’t supported or they keep encountering errors.

With that in mind, Atlus is no stranger to hosting concerts for the highly beloved Shin Megami Tensei franchise. In fact, there were even concerts for Persona too—back in 2019, there was an in-person concert at Ryōgoku Sumo Hall called “Persona Super Live.”

Despite the pandemic and lockdown regulations, it’s great that companies still find other ways to provide new content for fans. Even though the concert won’t be translated, dedicated fans wouldn’t want it any other way—they’re there for the music, after all.

Destiny 2 Joins League of Competitive eSports and Gaming

Destiny is a video game franchise that divides opinions in the gaming community like no other. It either gets love or hate. Regardless of anyone’s opinion, Destiny’s sequel Destiny 2 has become one of the most popular AAA games to hit the market ever since its release in 2017. In the five days after its launch, Destiny 2 recorded $325 million in sales. According to gaming statistics trackers at Gamstat, 21 million players played Destiny 2 on PlayStation alone in the past year. Furthermore, Destiny 2 and its developer, Bungie, have bagged several high-profile nominations and awards, including a nomination for Best Community Support at The 2020 Game Awards, which is a testament to its burgeoning community. As a result of its growing popularity, it’s becoming one of the fastest-growing games in the world of eSports, and you’re about to learn why.

Why Destiny Joining Esports is a No-brainer

Competitive online gaming or eSports has snowballed in popularity – and profitability — over the last few years and is only expected to grow. In 2016, over 280 million viewers tuned in to eGame different tournaments, from League of Legends to Call of Duty. Growing from $325 million in 2015, the industry generated global revenue of $1.1 billion in 2020, which is an over 15.7% growth rate from $950 million recorded in the previous year. Three-quarters of the revenue recorded in 2020 was from sponsorship and media rights, showing the industry’s global appeal.

One of the attractions of Destiny 2 is how players find their way through the gaming journey. It is full of surprises with never-ending adventures in space, lots of rewards, a great storyline, plus instant feedback from attentive creators. Entering the eSports market with these unique selling points is bound to produce more magic for gamers, developers, and investors alike.

The Rise of Destiny

The truth is, it hasn’t always been a smooth ride for the franchise, which first arrived on the scene in 2014. The earliest version was initially criticized for its poor character development, playability, bugs, repetitiveness, incoherent storyline among other flaws. But Bungie worked steadfastly to fix the issues with every update. Seven years later, the much-improved Destiny 2 is among the biggest MMOG (massively multiplayer online games) around and has been a disrupter in the downloadable game industry.

Destiny offers players the right blend of PvP and PvE map options, unpredictable gameplay, and weapon balance, hence the huge following. Merging the large-yet-close-knit console gaming community with PC-dominant eSports is sure to take both communities to a higher level with bigger events like Dota 2 and CSGO.

The eventual rise of Destiny 2 comes as no surprise to experienced gamers. The developer has built an excellent reputation with the success of Halo. However, it does Bungie no justice to only compare it to the success of Halo because the software developer has 18 games under its belt. The seasoned development team has proven time and again that it listens to players’ concerns and does something about them. This was again confirmed with Destiny 2: Beyond Light, the expansion pack released in November 2020.

How Profitable are eSports for Online Gamers?

Online gaming started as a hobby for many players, but with the explosive popularity of eSports, players have been able to turn the hobby into a professional occupation. Being able to profit from online gaming, however, did not begin with eSports, and has actually been possible for over 20 years, starting with online casinos and sports betting. Thanks to the internet, online gambling flourished, and along with it, online gaming. Similar to playing at an online casino, eSports rewards players for a combination of skills, knowledge, and luck. With eSports, however, it reaches new levels as players are immersed in a fantasy-based world with a compelling storyline that offers plenty of betting opportunities for both the players and viewers.

For those looking to make money from gaming in the most straightforward way possible, it’s still most profitable to play games like slots and pokies at an online casino for real money. That’s because it takes lots of time and effort to become a professional gamer that’s good enough to compete in tournaments. Nonetheless, eSports is enriching the entire online gaming community as a whole, and there are bound to be some interesting innovations in the near future.

SNK just announced when fans can try the new fighter for Samurai Shodown, Cham Cham, as part of the game’s Season 3 Fighter Pass via a new gameplay trailer.

The trailer features the new character’s gameplay, who is coming back from the classic Samurai Shodown 2for the reboot. Her movement consists of various attacks using her giant boomerang, as well as her clawed hands and feet. Cham Cham is set to arrive next month, March 16, which is the same day Samurai Shodown launches on the Xbox Series X|S.

Cham Cham is the first character to come out of the Season 3 Fighter Pass, with the other one revealed thus far being guest character Hibiki Takane, who originates from another SNK fighting game with the title of The Last Blade 2. Hibiki doesn’t still have a launch date but possibly will launch in the next couple of months. The other two characters in the pass have not yet been revealed.

Crossovers in SNK games are not rare. Samurai Shodown not only features characters from SNK’s other hit fighting games such as Hibiki from The Last Blade 2 but from titles from other publishers as well including GongSun Li from famous Chinese MOBA Honor of Kings and The Warden from Ubisoft’s For Honor.

The crossovers go the other way too, as most noticeable is SNK’s Terry Bogard from King of Fighters making his way to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate’s roster. Game director Masahiro Sakurai mentioned at the time that he has always been a fan of the fighting games of SNK, and so wanted to pay tribute to the Japanese fighting game masters with the inclusion of Terry as a DLC expansion character for Smash.

Valheim Sells More Than 3M Copies In Just 17 Days

Taking Steam by storm this month, Valheim has been the latest underdog hit to release to viral stardom, offering an irresistible survival experience mixed with a Norse mythological setting. Similar to games like Among Us and Phasmophobia, the early-access game made its way to the top of Steam’s sales charts apparently overnight, gathering thousands of concurrent players in the two and a half weeks it has been available for purchase.

Today, developer Iron Gate confirmed that Valheim has achieved another huge milestone, announcing that a massive 3 million copies have been shipped since the game’s release date last February 2. Along with this remarkable success, the developer update reveals a few other milestones that the game has broken during its short time on Valve’s PC marketplace.

https://twitter.com/Valheimgame/status/1362780679138922498?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1362780679138922498%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fgamerant.com%2Fvalheim-sells-3-million-copies-17-days%2F

First, the studio confirmed that Valheim now has more than 60,000 positive reviews on Steam, which makes it the 78th best-reviewed title currently on the storefront, with the studio expecting it will climb the charts even higher.

It’s also currently the 7th most-streamed title on Twitch, beating out the likes of Rust, DOTA 2, and Minecraft, while supposedly more than 20 million hours of Valheim gameplay has been viewed. The game is turning out to be one of this year’s first huge viral hits, pulling in considerable figures both through sales and streams as well as quickly cultivating a massive, passionate community.

For the unfamiliar, Valheim is a complex survival game set in a procedurally-generated, Norse-themed purgatory. The entire experience can be played solo or with a team of up to 10 friends online, centralizing on the player gathering resources to build shelter, better equipment, and resources to endure the elements.

However, the game won’t make things simple, with Valheim seeing players fight against harsh environments and a myriad of powerful enemies pulled straight out from Norse mythology. Along the way, players will be able to develop Viking settlements, colossal ships, and more, as they make their own way through the game’s world.

With the game currently on early access, it will continue to receive a plethora of updates going forward, with Iron Gate working to guarantee it becomes a game worthy of its ambitious premise. So far, it appears players are extremely satisfied with its early build, with the set of reviews available on Steam admiring its slew of enjoyable mechanics and expansive scope.
