The Assassin’s Creed franchise has always had a fine line between history and mythology. The developers of the latest entry Assassin’s Creed Valhalla previously stated that the game will be “historically grounded” and not have a lot of focus on fantasy elements.

Well, it seems that the focus has changed somewhere along the way, as shown by the new gameplay released by Ubisoft as part of GamesRadar’s latest Future Games Show. it is loaded with all sorts of beasts and icons from mythology.

 

We see a huge black dog known as Black Shuck, said to be the Devil incarnate. We also get a peek at a sidequest called “The Lost Drengir of Ragnar Lothbrok”, which takes the player all over Norway and England hunting down the former followers of Ragnar Lothbrok. Yet again, Ubisoft previously stated that the game will have almost no sidequests.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is the victim of behind-the-scenes turmoil as game director Ashraf Ismail was laid off by Ubisoft after an external investigation into misconduct allegations. It is going to be interesting to see what comes of the game without him at the helm.

Fortnite has been removed from the Google Play Store, which means Android players cannot update to the latest version of the game and play Chapter 2 Season 4. Though, Epic is making it clear to players that their own app and the Samsung Galaxy Store will allow Android players to continue playing.

Those who have downloaded the game on Android are receiving an email from Epic Games stating that Android users can still play the new season through the Epic Games App for Android (via Fortnite.com/Android) or the Samsung Galaxy Store.

Epic also added that Android users who already own Fortnite on Google Play will be able to continue playing the current update, the Season 3 Battle Pass. However, it was wrapped up on August 27, which means players will not be able to progress further. New cosmetics, gifts, and challenges are also not obtainable.

The Battle Lab, Duos, and Limited-Time game modes are also inaccessible for Google Play users. For iOS users, the situation is worse. This article explains it further.

Everything you need to know about the ‘Minecraft Dungeons Creeping Winter’ DLC

Minecraft Dungeons

Minecraft Dungeons may have fallen out of the limelight quickly, but its developers are still committed to supporting their game with new content. Jungle Awakens, the game’s first DLC, was released last July which contained new missions and new armor, weapons, and artifacts that players need to discover.

Now, Mojang is preparing to release the Minecraft Dungeons Creeping Winter DLC for next month. In a new trailer released for Creeping Winter, players got a glimpse of what awaits them inside the second DLC.

Mojang Studios recently released a new Minecraft Dungeons Diaries video where the developers spent more than five minutes detailing what their fans can look forward to in the future update.

Minecraft Dungeons free update

To start things, the video revealed a huge free update that will come alongside the Creeping Winter update. The free update will incorporate two new amazing features to the game through the Daily Trials as well as introduce new merchants.

The new merchants coming will be a Gift Wrapper and a Blacksmith. The Gift Wrapper gives players the ability to trade items to other players via the multiplayer option of Minecraft Dungeons. On the other hand, the Blacksmith will be a helpful NPC that upgrades players’ items.

In addition, the game’s merchants can now be leveled up. As a result, they will have more items available in their shops. For the Daily Trials, as the name suggests, players will receive daily challenge maps that promote the game’s new features.

Creeping Winter DLC details

After explaining the free update, the developers also talked about the details of the Creeping Winter DLC. They comprehensively explained a new winter biome that adds new gameplay mechanics like slippery floors and areas where a player can be frozen immediately. New enemies will also have ice-based attacks that can throw snowballs or fling mysterious ice crystals to players.

All of this and more will be coming to Minecraft Dungeons on September 8 as part of the second DLC’s release. Mojang Studios has yet to confirm the Creeping Winter’s price, though the first DLC cost $5.99 during its launch.

Xbox Series X to launch first, PlayStation 5 by mid-November – rumors

0
Xbox Series X

The month of August is nearing its end but gamers still don’t have exact launch dates for both next-gen consoles – PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. Also, the prices for both consoles have yet to be announced.

The good news is Microsoft already confirmed that they are looking to release the Xbox Series X in November. On the other hand, Sony still intends to stick to a release date closer to the holiday season. According to VideoGamesChronicle, this might be because Microsoft plans to launch first.

VGC mentions that several development and retail sources revealed to them that the Xbox Series X will be released by the first week of November. On the other hand, Sony has reportedly booked marketing spend in the United Kingdom for seven days starting November 13, 2020. This means the PlayStation 5 is set to be released anytime from November 13 to 20, 2020.

VGC also pointed out that it is still unsure if the PlayStation 5 will be released on the same day worldwide or follow a staggered release like its predecessor. The latter option is improbable but complications in logistics brought by the global pandemic may force Sony to do this. During the PlayStation 4’s launch, European countries waited at least two weeks after the consoles had been released in North America.

Even though the manufacturing of both next-gen consoles is still on schedule, both Microsoft and Sony are doubtful that shipping methods could still be interrupted which may result in limited supplies in the first weeks of release. They always have the option to ship the units by air which will be much faster but would obviously increase their expenses.

Whatever the case is, both Microsoft and Sony are being really cautious which is why details about the consoles’ releases are scarce.

Do this trick to defeat Doctor Doom in ‘Fortnite’ Season 4 and get mythical items

doctor doom

When Fortnite introduced the Marvel heroes coming to Season 4, one stood out from the rest. That is because he is not actually a hero but a villain – Doctor Doom.

Doctor Doom isn’t just another Season 4 Battle Pass skin. He is also a boss waiting for unsuspecting players to kill. The new season posted a new challenge – players must kill him in order to get a couple of mythical in-game items.

To complete the mission, players must kill him three times. Pros advice teaming up with co-players to take down this treacherous villain since it will be a difficult task to take him down alone.

Where is Doctor Doom located?

Like all other bosses, Doctor Doom hangs out in his lair called Doom’s Domain which is formerly Fortnite’s Pleasant Park. The area is now taken over by a weird mansion with a huge statue of himself.

Similar to all villain hideouts, the area also features a hidden vault and underground base. To find him, players must head inside the mansion and head into the vaults where he is constantly waiting.

How to defeat Doctor Doom?

Players can do this task alone but pros recommend teaming up because Doctor Doom has a lot of HP and frequently uses deadly energy blasts to set the floor on fire.

Here is a detailed guide on how to defeat the Marvel villain:

    1. Drop at Doom’s Domain, formerly Pleasant Park
    2. Mark the big dark house in the area
    3. Go to the house and land on the rooftop
    4. Use the pickaxe to break in and look for a few weapons
    5. Find high ground and fire at the boss until his HP is depleted
    6. Pick up the mythical item drops which include a Mystical Bomb and the Arcane Gauntlet

Pro Tip: Utilize high grounds

An important tip to defeating Doctor Doom is to know where to break inside the mansion. Entering through the front door will only leave players with little cover.

Players need to land on top of the mansion to be able to blindside Doctor Doom from above. The villain can be frequently seen roaming around the ground floor and might look weak at first. However, always remember that bosses have higher HP than your character so they will take longer to kill.

Using the high grounds, players can deal damage to Doctor Doom without receiving that much damage. When he is downed, kill him as fast as possible. Upon killing him, two books will be scattered on the floor. Pick these up as they are very valuable items.

Having the Mystical Bomb and Arcane Gauntlet in your possession will increase your chances of being the Fortnite match’s winner by fivefold.

‘Call of Duty Modern Warfare’ players claim MP5 gun secretly nerfed by devs

The MP5 is one of Call of Duty Modern Warfare’s most powerful and popular guns. However, in the recent update, fans are claiming that the gun received a secret nerf. Players noticed that the gun now has different ADS, lowered damage, and increased recoil.

Despite the recent reveal of Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War and the upcoming CDL Championship Weekend later this week, Modern Warfare fans have been busy talking about the sudden and unexpected change to the MP5.

The MP5 SMG is regarded as one of the best weapons in Modern Warfare. The gun boasts of its high damage, sufficient range, and low recoil. Because of these factors, MP5 has been a consistent choice among many players worldwide. Expand your knowledge on MP5s and learn more about these amazing guns by visiting Lunde Studio.

Because of this, Modern Warfare players are reacting to these unforeseen adjustments that have been slipped away in Modern Warfare and Warzone’s Season 5: Reloaded patch.

The peculiar thing about the secret nerf is that players are describing different changes from one another. Some are reporting that the MP5’s sight is now different such as the gun being too zoomed in. The MP5’s sight is one of the best reasons why this gun can be deadly even without an optical thus, a sudden unannounced nerf becomes a huge problem.

However, others said that the sight hasn’t changed at all. Tweets and Reddit posts state that both ideas could be true which only adds to the mystery. Other players have reported that the gun’s recoil has been changed. For players who are consistently looking for a zero loadout option, it can be frustrating to know that your favorite gun’s recoil has been nerfed.

Even professional Call of Duty players has been reporting that the MP5’s recoil is bouncing all over their screens which were certainly not the case for the gun in the past updates. The MP5 always had one of the most consistent recoils in Modern Warfare, but now everything has changed.

Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga has been featured in Opening Night Live yesterday with an amazing new trailer including gameplay from the entire franchise such as the Prequels, Original Trilogy, and Sequels.

Fans got to see gameplay from all the nine Star Wars movies, with heroes and villains teaming up for one massive fight. Players can begin their adventure from any of the episodes and encounter a lot of iconic moments recreated in Lego fashion.

Similar to other Lego games, The Skywalker Saga will also feature a lot of playable characters and controllable vehicles. However, the bad news is that the game will not be released this year. Instead, the developers are looking at a spring 2021 release date.

Despite this, Traveller’s Tales showcased several changes in last night’s trailer that will debut in the game. Probably the biggest improvement in the game is the camera angle since the Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga will be in third-person view. The game will also have a massive open-world map to allow players more freedom while driving various vehicles.

Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga was first introduced during the Microsoft E3 2019 event and will reportedly be released on the Switch, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, PlayStation 4 & 5, and the PC.

Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Storm Ground was revealed by Gasket Games and Focus Home at Gamescom’s Opening Night Live. The game will have the Stormcast Eternals as its heroic faction, going head to head against Nagash’s undead Nighthaunt.

No exact release date or gameplay was shown but it will launch sometime in 2021 on the PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. It does seem like we will be able to command a Lord-Celestant mounted on a Stardrake, though, which is some great news.

We previously knew that Gasket Games was going to release a new title that would be an Age of Sigmar strategy game. This could be part of Games Workshop’s urge for more AAA Warhammer games.

Gasket Games is comprised of veterans from Relic Games, who are behind the beloved Warhammer 40,000 Dawn of War games. Staff who previously worked at Blackbird Interactive on Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak are also part of the team. There is a strong possibility that this could be a great strategy offering.
