We finally have more information about Monster Hunter World: Iceborne’s final free update called Title Update 5. Scheduled to release on September 30, Iceborne’s free title update will once again feature another Elder Dragon that you can hunt.

Among its other new features are new gear, new events, and new characters. Title Update 5 will add Fatalis to Iceborne, a traditional black dragon that has “taken over the ruins of Castle Schrade.

If you are able to defeat this new Elder Dragon, then you can craft new gear, weapons, and even a new outfit from the materials you can loot from it. By the way, the armor designs borne from the fallen Fatalis look badass! There are two sets, namely the α+ Armor Set and the β+ Armor Set.

Asides from Fatalis, a new Event Quest will also be released alongside Title Update 5. For this one, you are tasked to hunt the Arch-Tempered version of Velkhana. The official Monster Hunter Twitter account also tweeted the schedule for the upcoming new content, which you can see below:

Monster Hunter World: Iceborne isn’t the only thing that players can look forward to, though. After Title Update 5 gets released, there will be a new Autumn event that will take place. Featuring new Halloween-themed items and gear, the Autumn Harvest Fun Fright Fest will be ongoing from October 16 to November 5.

Capcom will also be hosting a “fest rush” before the release of the free title update. For this event, you will be given another opportunity to take part in the past Iceborne events leading up to the update’s release. There will be one event per week, so if you missed out on these events, don’t forget to do them now.

The three groups behind Streets of Rage 4, namely Dotemu, Lizardcube, and Guard Crush Games recently did an AMA on Reddit. Fans were able to ask questions that they’ve always wanted to know the answers to. One such question was about whether or not the game will be getting a DLC.

Fortunately, the CEO and executive producer of Dotemu Cyrille Imbert decided to answer this one and the answer is yes. Sadly, there’s no estimated timeframe yet as to when, but they definitely want to release new content for Streets of Rage 4.

Lead programmer of Guard Crush Games Cyrille Lagarigue also added on the AMA that they are currently considering adding new playable characters, but there hasn’t been a decision as to this just yet. A fan also asked about the possibility of a sequel and Imbert replied with:

“We haven’t discussed it yet but we’d like to first focus on SoR4 and continue to add content. But at Dotemu we are currently working on three unanounced similar projects, so stay tuned ;)”

Streets of Rage 4 was released in April 2020 for the PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch after how many years of waiting. This sequel to Streets of Rage 2 and Streets of Rage 3 brought back Battle Mode, which is a legacy in this franchise.

Battle Mode is what makes the game different from the typical brawler games, as it allows you to play in versus or team mode. As such, it turns the game into more of a competitive fighting title.

We’re super excited to see what the developers have planned for Streets of Rage 4. Whatever the new content will be, we’re sure to love it!

New Extended Trailer Released for Lovecraft-Inspired Game

0
1-2

An extended look at Call of the Sea has been released during Future Games Show. Although we were able to see a glimpse of the game during the first Future Games Show, this newly-released trailer gives us a sneak peek at the beautifully-done environment.

Call of the Sea is set in the 1930s, where you have to explore a forgotten island located in the South Pacific. You play as Norah, who is trying to find her husband who mysteriously disappeared on that very island. On this journey, Norah attempts to find out what happened to her husband and his crewmates.

There’s so much you can do in this game, which Game Director Tatiana Delgado has revealed to us in the trailer. For one thing, you can dive and explore underwater ruins, as well as discover ancient cities within the jungle.

Delgado also mentions that Call of the Sea is highly-influenced by H.P Lovecraft, who is known for his eccentric horror fiction.

“But as you can see, although our game is heavily influenced by his tales, Call of the Sea is a twist on the traditional H.P. Lovecraft works. We’re trying to focus on the surreal and the oneiric more than the horrific and the grim. In short, Call of the Sea isn’t a descent into madness but a rise to sanity. Losing your mind makes you see a dream-like, colorful world.”

Despite the fact that Call of the Sea takes inspiration from Lovecraft, the game doesn’t completely focus on the horror aspect of Lovecraft’s works. The developers wanted to focus more on the surreal.

Call of the Sea will be available on Xbox One, Xbox Series X and PC later within the year.

Sea of Thieves’ Next Update Will Feature Dogs

Heads up, dog lovers! It has officially been announced by Rare during Gamescom 2020 that Sea of Thieves’ next content update will feature one of the most lovable pets in the world – dogs.

In the beginning, they released monkeys and parrots, followed by cats. It’s actually surprising that they didn’t release dogs first. Thankfully, we don’t have to wait very long, as the update is expected to be released in September.

Asides from Gamescom, the update was also confirmed on Sea of Thieves’ official Twitter account.

Just like the other pets, you can purchase the dogs using real money through the Pirate Emporium. After buying, you can choose your new pet to be your constant companion during your adventures.

Not only that, but Rare confirms that there will be different breeds available, so you’ll definitely have a blast choosing what kind of dog you want to have. You’ll definitely feel like you’re dealing with a real puppy, as they spin and wag their tails aggressively at you asking for a pat.

A good boy looking particularly good.

That being said, we expect that we can pet them too, just like the other animals available on Sea of Thieves. What we want to know, however, is whether or not we can launch them out to sea via cannon. Based on PC Gamer’s highly necessary research, there’s a high chance that you can. (No worries, though! No harm will be done to your beloved pet.)

On a related note, Rare’s Dev Gameplay Update video hints at the coming of a third voyage type for the Gold Hoarders. Their official Twitter account has also recently posted a teaser of a treasure-filled vault. We don’t have a lot of information about this just yet, but Rare says that they’ll eventually release more data in the future.

For now, there are two live events that you can participate in to kill the time as you wait for this exciting September update: Hunters of the Deep and Summer of Sea of Thieves. These events have you doing all kinds of tasks in the ocean in order to unlock equipment, emotes, and so much more.

These events are only up for a limited time, though, so feel free to do them while you still can. The Hunters of the Deep event ends on September 8, while Summer of Sea of Thieves ends on September 30.

Sony Might Bring More First-Party Games to PC

greedfall_screenshot08

PC gaming has grown quite a lot this year, especially during the pandemic where kids and adults alike have to stay home. As such, online PC gaming is expected to continue rising and Sony wants to promote its own growth as well.

During Sony’s Corporate Report 2020, the company is considering the idea of bringing more first-party titles to the PC.

“We will explore expanding our 1st party titles to the PC platform, in order to promote further growth in our profitability.”

Of course, this idea isn’t completely foreign to Sony. They have previously ported PS4-exclusive games to the PC, such as Death Stranding and Horizon Zero Dawn. Fortunately, this implies that Sony’s sales are in good standing enough to consider porting their games, to begin with.

Sony didn’t mention which games will be ported to the PC and when, but they do acknowledge that competition in that area is quite high and that PC gamers aren’t going away anytime soon. After all, the games that are available to play on the computer have a higher market share than the ones on the consoles.

This news is a great win for PC gamers worldwide, especially for those who don’t have a gaming console. On another note, in case you didn’t know, you can register on Sony’s preorder page for a chance to be selected to preorder the PS5 early, so check that out while you still can!

Fall Guys Popular Requested Feature Is Coming

0
Fall Guys

Fall Guys developer Mediatonic confirmed that a much-needed feature will be coming in the future, probably during Season 2 or maybe Season 3. The new battle royale game took the Internet by storm. There was not a lot of hype surrounding the game, and the little that was going around was generated from the game’s beta. Now it is one of the biggest games in the world.

ss_b2b6b170330b8af1f50d0e90efad984adafeb281-5223994

The success caught everyone off guard especially the developers. It is important to remember that a small team made the game. The developers are not familiar with making big blockbuster releases, like ones made by a huge studio pack full of content and features. Mediatonic needs to grow in order to meet the demands for the game because when Fall Guys launched last month, it was missing some features typically seen in many other online games.

One of the key features that Fall Guys lacks is the option of having private lobbies. Mediatonic has said that this feature is in the pipeline, it sounds seem like it is not a top priority on their list, partly because they have to figure out how it will work. It is unclear when to expect this feature to come, but it will likely happen sooner rather than later, if not purely out of necessity.

Operation Shadow Legacy, which is coming in the launch of Rainbow Six Siege Year 5 Season 3 will have a new operator, a familiar face for Splinter Cell fans, agent Sam ‘Zero’ Fisher.

Project Cars 3 what to Expect At Launch And Beyond

Project Cars 3 is a great entry in the series. It continues the series’ sim-racing DNA, but the third entry is going to shake things up by offering a more approachable feel for the general racing fan base.

In addition to bolstering the game’s customization, the career mode will highlight what it is like being an up-and-coming driver who is a part of a global racing league. Rival drivers also have more advanced AI and attributes to make for more engaging races.

Project Cars 3 is a big step for Slightly Mad Studios. The last two games were praised for their graphics, simulation, weather conditions, and so on, the developers wanted to make the latest entry in the franchise a more personal and rewarding experience.

Project Cars 3 sees the introduction of experience systems, customization for the player’s car and driver, and shared progression between the single-player and multiplayer. It has the most engaging progression, player’s have to climb the ladder from being a weekend warrior to a racing legend. It is the best compared to any other game in the franchise.

While the last two games were aimed at avid gear-heads, Slightly Mad Studios wanted to make some of the systems more accessible by having assist options and other revisions for new drivers. One revision is the omission of tire and fuel management. This is intended to shift the focus to the core driving experience. but it will negatively impact the sim-driving experience of the game.

Image

It is also much easier now to use a standard controller and get a nice feel for the driving thanks to completely rebuilt gamepad handling, and there is no need to adjust stick dead-zones, etc. It works brilliantly right from the start.

The assists are aimed at new drivers, players can gradually turn off the assists, and doing so will net more XP because the fewer assists you have turned on the bigger the XP rewards. Serious racers can enjoy the great improvement and detail in force feedback for steering wheel users. For the authentic simulation experience that millions of fans expect from Project Cars. Just jump straight in with all the assists off.

Slightly Mad Studios has stated that Project Cars 3 will also have some changes post-launch. Along with new tracks and cars, players should expect additional updates in the months ahead.
