Rainbow Six Quarantine will potentially be renamed to Rainbow Six Parasite soon. A new update to the PlayStation Network suggests something about Ubisoft’s shooter will be arriving soon, as the studio might be preparing up for launch.

Rainbow Six Quarantine is Ubisoft’s newest coop shooting game and was scheduled to launch last year. The game experienced production problems when developers were compelled to begin working from home.

The game has very scarce information at the moment, but it appears like a new direction for the Rainbow Six series. Coming hot off the heels of Rainbow Six Siege, the game will place players in a world where aliens are a major threat. The game will also build off of the gameplay foundation of Rainbow Six Siege and feature multiple operators from the said game. Aside from these, there are really no other confirmed details.

Following some consideration, Ubisoft has also apparently decided to change the game’s name to Rainbow Six Parasite to distance itself from the coronavirus pandemic. The game is anticipated to release sometime in Ubisoft’s 2021/2022 fiscal year, meaning it will launch between April 2021 and March 2022.

Provided that a new update for the game was also pushed through to the PlayStation Network with new artwork for the game, it is likely that Ubisoft will launch the game soon or reveal some kind of beta testing period.

A new store listing hinted toward a March launch date for the game but Ubisoft mentioned that this was nothing more than a mistake. Ubisoft may have just slipped up and unveiled this information prior to an official announcement but it is too soon to say.

It would be exciting to see Ubisoft announce the game again and launch it quickly, which would remove much of the wait for this mysterious title. The studio recently postponed Far Cry 6 from its early 2021 launch window so this could be a great game to replace it.

It’s highly likely Ubisoft will reveal more details about the game between now and the forthcoming virtual E3. Provided the circumstances, it’s possibly a good thing Ubisoft is opting to distance itself from a rather depressing concept like quarantining.

Many have had to stay locked inside for about a year now, with very little to do aside from playing video games and watching movies. With reports that the new Rainbow Six will be a nationwide adventure, it’s difficult to imagine the game actually featuring a considerable quarantine such as the one fans have been living with for a year now.

Developed by Ghost Town Games and published by Team 17, Overcooked! All You Can Eat puts together the remaster of the first game as well as its sequel into one game. What makes this collection exciting to many fans is the fact that it was the launch title for the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series S/X—the latest generation of consoles.

When it was released, the intense and fast-paced cooking simulator was only available on the two aforementioned platforms. In other words, its playerbase was definitely limited, especially since gamers have been having an incredibly difficult time trying to get their hands on the PlayStation 5 due to scalpers.

Fortunately, Ghost Town Games has announced that it will be introducing Overcooked! All You Can Eat to other platforms, making it more accessible to interested players who don’t have a PS5 or an Xbox X/S yet. The announcement comes with a playful trailer featuring none other than the Onion King, who is acting out the role of a news reporter. He then reveals the news that on March 23, 2021, the game in question will be launched on the Nintendo Switch, Steam, PS4, and Xbox One.

This means that by next month, more players will be able to experience the new and improved version of Overcooked, one of the best games out there in terms of multitasking.

Even though Overcooked! All You Can Eat will be the same across the different platforms, playing on PlayStation consoles actually offers players with a few benefits. It may not be much, but the systems’ controllers have a light bar which can be used to highlight the different players’ colors. This can be incredibly useful to ensure that players don’t get confused as to which character they are amidst the hustle and bustle of the busy kitchen.

Not only that, but using the DualSense controller actually has its own perks, too. For instance, this controller utilizes haptic feedback that can alert busy players when the food they’re cooking is on fire, or when recipes are timing out, among other things.

Long-time Overcooked fans know just how hectic and chaotic each level can get, and things can get out of hand really fast. So, having simple perks such as this can be a great help to keep the kitchen—and what’s happening in it—in check.

For Nintendo Switch users who are curious to see what all the hubbub around Overcooked is, Overcooked 2 is actually free on the Switch eShop for a limited time. The limited time Game Trials for the sequel will end on February 16, 2021. So, don’t hesitate to quickly grab this opportunity before time runs out!

Seeing as we’re still in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic, multiplayer games such as Overcooked will be perfect games to play with either friends or family as we stay in the safety of our own homes. As such, it’s great that Ghost Town Games and Team 17 will be making Overcooked! All You Can Eat available to more gamers than ever before.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons Festivale Event Takes Place Today

Even though Animal Crossing: New Horizons has been out for nearly a year, the highly acclaimed life simulation game still continues to receive support from Nintendo. With every significant update, the title introduces brand-new content, features, and items to the game—from scuba diving and so much more.

Most often than not, these updates also coincide with real-world holidays or events, such as Christmas Eve’s Toy Day, Thanksgiving’s Turkey Day, and Easter’s Bunny Day. This time around, yet another annual event is taking place in the world of Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Today, players can join in on the festivities brought about by the in-game Festivale event.

Inspired by none other than the Mardi Gras celebration, long-time Animal Crossing fans will already be quite familiar with the Festivale event. As a matter of fact, most of the previous games in the franchise’s repertoire have celebrated this particular event. What makes New Horizons’ celebration different from the previous iterations, however, is the fact that it will introduce new activities for the players to do before the event concludes.

For starters, Pave the Peacock will be visiting the players’ respective islands for the duration of Festivale. Just like the other NPC visitors from previous seasonal events, Pave will be giving players tasks to do. In this case, players have to catch as many multicolored feathers as possible, which will be falling from the sky.

Afterwards, they have to bring the caught feathers over to Pave, who will reward players with a Festivale dance. Nintendo recently released an “Exploring February” video for Animal Crossing: New Horizons players, and it shows that the Able Sisters’ shop will feature a variety of new fun outfits that fans can buy—from sequined tank dresses to fancy suits, and more. These new outfits are perfect to wear during the ongoing event, ensuring that fans exude the spirit of Festivale.

Once the day ends on the players’ respective islands, the Festivale event will also come to an end. As such, players should definitely make the most out of their day in-game if they want to experience everything that Festivale has to offer.

In other news, Animal Crossing: New Horizons players can look forward to more content even after Festivale ends. To be more specific, Nintendo previously revealed that the next free update will arrive in March, teasing that this upcoming update will feature some kind of crossover with Super Mario.

We assume that this Animal Crossing x Super Mario crossover will introduce a variety of Mario-themed items and furniture to the popular Nintendo Switch game. Although, the developer has yet to reveal what kind of content we can expect from this update. Seeing as Animal Crossing: New Horizons usually drops a video dedicated to an upcoming update prior to its release, we can expect such footage to be released any day now.

That being said, collaborating with Super Mario isn’t a new thing for Animal Crossing. The franchise has crossed over with the Nintendo classic in most if not all the games to date. Still, this fact doesn’t make the upcoming update any less exciting.

LEAK: Here’s a First Look at Demon Slayer Versus Mode Gameplay

When it comes to media and entertainment, there’s always something for everyone out there. For video games and anime lovers, in particular, developer CyberConnect2 is working on bringing a popular anime and manga series into the world of gaming.

It was previously revealed that the studio behind the creation of Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot and the Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm series is currently developing a Demon Slayer video game. Its full title will be Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba – Hinokami Keppuutan. While the upcoming title doesn’t have a release date or window just yet, it appears that gameplay footage of its Versus mode has been leaked online for excited fans’ perusal.

Looking at the video, the mode definitely looks action-packed, and seems to play similarly to the Ultimate Ninja Storm series. This isn’t really surprising, though, seeing as they’re both developed by the same studio.

The Demon Slayer anime, otherwise known as Kimetsu no Yaiba, initially aired back in 2019. Since then, though, the series became incredibly popular within the anime community. As a matter of fact, the series is so prominent that it led to the creation and subsequent release of Demon Slayer the Movie: Mugen Train, which actually became Japan’s highest-grossing film.

Given how successful the series was (and is), it didn’t come as a surprise when video games based on the anime were announced one after the other. For mobile gamers, Demon Slayer: Blood-Stench Blade Royale is currently in the works. However, it seems that this title is currently going through developmental struggles, seeing as it was supposed to launch last year but didn’t.

Now, the other Demon Slayer video game in the pipeline is being developed by CyberConnect2. According to previously revealed details, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba – Hinokami Keppuutan will have a single-player mode as well as a Versus mode. For the latter, players will be able to choose a fighter from the different characters from the anime series. The chosen characters will then fight against each other, each vying to be the winner.

One of the distinctive features of the Demon Slayer anime is its incredible action sequences, which are composed of hand-drawn animation techniques as well as digital effects. The outcome of these two, when mixed together successfully, is magnificent—and this is best exemplified in Demon Slayer.

That being said, this kind of style works well into video games as well, as can be seen in the recently leaked gameplay footage. It’s safe to say that developer CyberConnect2 is working hard to ensure that Hinokami Keppuutan and its combat will look visually impressive.

Even though the leaked footage is only in Japanese, we don’t need a translation to see the various characters fight it out in a snowy forest. Anime fans may find this particular location familiar, as it’s the same forest from the beginning of the anime.

From what we can glean from the video, it seems that the only characters that are available to play at this point in the game’s development are Giyu Tomioka, Zenitsu Agatsuma, Inosuke Hashibira, and the siblings, Tanjiro and Nezuko Kamado.

The video game will also feature ultimate moves, which is exciting. So far, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba – Hinokami Keppuutan is looking great, and we hope that it will be as successful as its anime and manga counterparts.

It was previously revealed that Ubisoft would be introducing a River Raids update to Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, and now, fans don’t have to wait any longer because the update is slated to go live tomorrow. Asides from this, fans can also expect the update to have a new replayable mode, among other things.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is the most recent iteration in Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed franchise, and as its name suggests, the title takes players to the interesting yet violent world of the Vikings. For this game, fans play as Eivor—who is considered to be one of the best assassins—as they traverse and explore the beautiful English countryside and Nordic seas.

The action RPG was first launched in November of last year, and since then, Ubisoft has been regularly releasing post-launch content and updates for fans to enjoy. For instance, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla players participated in the in-game Yule Festival last December. Now, Ubisoft will be introducing River Raids to the game, along with other tweaks and changes, keeping the players’ experience with the game fresh and interesting.

https://twitter.com/assassinscreed/status/1361362549904662533?s=20

According to Ubisoft’s official website, players can expect the update to launch on February 16, 2021 for PC and consoles. The update will go live at the same time for the different platforms—specifically, the time zones are as follows: 1 PM CET, 7 AM EST, 4 AM PST, and 11 PM AEDT.

After successfully installing the update, fans can expect a variety of new features to be available in their game. What makes this River Raid update interesting is the fact that Ubisoft stated that it’s a highly replayable mode. Eivor and their crew will be taken to “unexplored regions of England, which is full of raiding opportunities.” There will also be new challenges, loot, and rewards awaiting the players who take part in this fun mode.

There’s more good news: every Assassin’s Creed Valhalla will be able to download and experience the River Raid mode because it will be available for free. Given how the title is known to have a lot of microtransactions, it’s great that Ubisoft made this new content easily accessible to its fans.

Among other exciting additions, players can also look forward to new abilities and skills for Eivor. For example, this update will give Eivor the ability to unload a Berserker Trap from their bow. Doing so will confuse enemies, as it leaves behind some kind of hallucinatory powder.

There will also be other additional skills, such as ones that will buff the players’ passive abilities. Examples of this include potentially receiving an increased chance of looting arrows, or perhaps receiving a boost in speed.

As expected of any update, fans may notice that Assassin’s Creed Valhalla will be more improved and that some bugs will receive a fix. It’s clear to see that Ubisoft has long-term plans for this game. Even though it launched last year, it’s still receiving regular support from the developer months after.

Although Ubisoft didn’t seem to list down the complete details of the upcoming River Raid mode, we expect that this will introduce more to the game after players complete it successfully.

King’s Bounty was initially launched in 1990, a defining title in the industry that would ultimately inspire franchises such as Heroes of Might & Magic. Now, three decades later, King’s Bounty is making a comeback.

1C Entertainment, with publisher Deep Silver, revealed King’s Bounty2 in the middle of 2019. Since then, however, the game has received extended delays pushing it past its initial 2020 release. Now, sadly, King’s Bounty 2 is receiving what will finally be its last postponement, as it’s being delayed to August 2021.

King’s Bounty 2 was originally set to launch in March 2021. However, as 1C Entertainment neared the deadline, it discerned that the game isn’t ready yet. Producer Denis Maltzev confirmed in a statement that King’s Bounty 2 needs a bit more time for playtesting to better smoothen its gameplay and balance the game’s existing problems and bugs. As the video game industry has proven many times over, game delays almost always result in a better game in the long run.

According to Maltzev, part of the reason why the game has been postponed is because of 1C’s ambitions for King’s Bounty 2. The game’s open-world as well as its sophisticated storyline will prove why the development team needed the extra time for the game.

Ultimately, waiting an additional few months for the launch of the game will probably be understood by fans. After all, they have been waiting for a proper sequel since 1990. King’s Bounty has a name to live up to, even if most players won’t remember or care about it. However, that is something the development team likely knows well and will work hard to meet.

With every day that passes, we draw closer and closer to the release of Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town. As such, developer Marvelous has been slowly unveiling important details, features, and trailers for the upcoming farming simulator, giving fans a taste of what’s to come.

Now, a brand-new gameplay trailer of Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town has been released, with this one focusing on the game’s features like furniture crafting, pets, mini-games, clothing, and a lot more. Given the amount of teasers and trailer that has already been released, we expect that this newest one will be the last trailer until the game’s launch next month.

That being said, one wouldn’t expect Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town to be any different from the previous games in the franchise—or from the other farming games available on the market for that matter—especially since they all tend to be similar in more ways than one. However, it appears that there’s more to the game than just planting and harvesting crops, marrying a villager, and raising livestock, and the new trailer showcases this fact.

Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town will be adding a couple of new and innovative gameplay features that fans will surely love, as it helps keep the game fresh and distinct from the other titles. Previously, it was already revealed that players will be able to build their farm from scratch in this upcoming game.

What’s exciting about this is that Pioneers of Olive Town will be following the footsteps of Animal Crossing: New Horizons in terms of in-game crafting and designing, allowing players even more options when it comes to creativity. More freedom will also be given to players in terms of clothing and furniture, so much so that they can place these anywhere on their respective farms with less restriction than usual.

Going through the trailer, it seems that Marvelous has cast a special spotlight on pets in Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town. For instance, players will be able to play fetch with their adorable dogs—in fact, the game will allow the player’s character to interact and bond with their pets through more than just the simple act of daily petting.

screenshot-www-youtube-com-2021-02-15-14_53_48

Another interesting activity that can be expected in this latest Story of Seasons iteration is dog races. This kind of local activity is reminiscent of the horse races in Friends of Mineral Town, only this time it has to do with dogs! Of course, horses will still be present in this game, so there’s no need to worry.

As expected, Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town will once again be utilizing the adorable Sprites. More specifically, the Earth Sprites will be there to help players with their farm, as well as with finding new areas. For example, there’s a particular in-game location where players can sprout a massive beanstalk with the Sprites’ help, which allows them to build a farm up in the sky.

Of all the much-awaited games launching this year, Resident Evil Village is one that most fans in the gaming community are very hyped for. Following up the huge amount of success that Resident Evil 7 received when it first launched, Resident Evil Village appears to carry over a lot of things that fans loved about the past game while implementing several elements featured in classic entries. From the look of things, the development team at Capcom seems pretty sure about their work.

When it was first released, Resident Evil 7 was met with a large amount of success by many in the gaming community. It managed to reinvigorate the franchise’s popularity to the point where remakes of classic games are getting almost frequently launched and multiple Resident Evil-related projects have been given the green light on Netflix. But according to a Capcom producer, the eighth installment in the mainline franchise will achieve massive new heights.

In a recent interview released by PlayStation Official Magazine, Peter Fabiano, a Capcom producer, talked about certain details about the new game and spoke very highly of what is being worked on. As a matter of fact, Fabiano believes that Resident Evil Village will be “the best survival horror game to date.” Compared to all of the other remarkable survival horror games already launched, Resident Evil or others, it will surely be exciting to witness how Resident Evil Village performs.

Additionally, Fabiano also commented on different other facets of the story and characters of the game. Of course, he didn’t want to spoil any details of the story, but he did confirm that Lady DImitrescu and everything else presented in the game ties into the overarching storyline and lore that Resident Evil has built across tons of games.

Although, it does seem a bit difficult to believe that anything in any of the advertising material for this game relates to the overarching story of Resident Evil. Then again, that was also the case for Resident Evil 7 and since this is the extension of the story of Ethan Winters, it appears likely that it will all tie in together somehow. Though, so far, the cameo of Chris Redfield is one of the only links to the Resident Evil lore.

Regardless, it will be exciting to see how things will play out when the title is ultimately launched this May. This game is not the only piece of Resident Evil media that fans can expect this year. In addition to all the Netflix projects, there is also the upcoming film remake and the rumored reboot of Resident Evil 4. It appears now is possibly the best time to be a Resident Evil fan.

Reports Indicate That Tencent Is Developing Apex Legends Mobile

Respawn Entertainment’s Apex Legends is constantly rising in popularity, and it appears that it will continue to do so with no signs of stopping. For one thing, the first-person hero shooter battle royale reached a new player milestone last month for simultaneous Steam players, with a whopping 129,928 players at one time—and that’s not even accounting for all the other platforms outside of Steam!

With its ever-growing popularity, IGN India reports that Electronic Arts wants to further expand the game’s player base. According to several sources, the Chinese multinational technology conglomerate popularly known as Tencent is in charge of Apex Legends Mobile’s development. Not only that, Respawn Entertainment will reportedly only have a supervisory role.

IGN India states that the mobile release of Apex Legends is expected for 2021, some time around Q3. Previously, fans assumed that this highly anticipated mobile edition would launch some time last year, but its development didn’t go as smoothly as expected and it needed more time. As such, Apex Legends Mobile’s release date had to be delayed.

That being said, this recent report offers excited fans a better look at what kind of specs and which particular mobile devices will be able to play the game smoothly. So, for iOS or Apple users, it’s best to play this mobile edition on a device that has an A11 Bionic chip or higher. On the other hand, it’s recommended for Android users to have the Snapdragon 625 chip or higher.

If this information turns out to be true, then Apex Legends fans would definitely need a mobile device that has quite a lot of power in order to run the game. Although, this doesn’t really come as a surprise, especially since the game itself is pretty sizeable. It has textures, in-game assets, and even geography that will allow the game to render more quickly.

Of course, these specifications are still loose at this moment and could change at any point, especially since Respawn Entertainment has yet to announce them officially. In any case, if both Electronic Arts and Tencent are planning to launch Apex Legends Mobile by the third quarter of this year, then there’s a high chance that fans could receive an announcement from the companies some time in summer of this year.

These days, it looks like Electronic Arts has done a pretty decent job in terms of handling Apex Legends and its rising popularity, along with the mobile development, especially since the publisher is also cooking up other titles and ports.

In other news, the Nintendo Switch port of Apex Legends will be released very soon as well, specifically on March 9, 2021. Although, it’s worth mentioning that Tencent isn’t in charge of developing the Switch version—that job was given to Panic Button, a popular Texas-based developer. This studio may even be familiar to some gamers, as it has worked on a variety of popular ports, such as the Nintendo Switch ports of Warframe, Doom Eternal, and Rocket League.

Apex Legends Season 8 recently began as well, an exciting new season which introduced the new and explosive legend known as Fuse. While a mobile version of any game will play significantly different, we hope that the mobile port of Apex Legends will still be able to encapsulate the thrill and joy that players feel every time they play the battle royale.
