  1. The graphic design of Return to Monkey Island, the sequel Ron Gilbert has wanted to do since the 1991 Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge, has been discussed and criticized. It is okay. The word is free.
    What probably does not surprise anyone is that some "fans" take it a step further and go to personal attacks, something Ron Gilbert now testifies to. He has already expressed his disappointment that he is being pressured into doing a Monkey Island he does not want to do. So now it has gone a step further.
    In his blog, Grumpy Gamer, Gilbert says that he turns off the comment fields, as people are "evil", and he has felt compelled to delete comments that have personally attacked him.
    Gilbert seems to have turned off more than that, as the site is currently down.
    However, Gilbert writes (or wrote) that he insists that Return to Monkey Island is an "incredible game", and says that it is up to us not to play it, "without ruining it for others" .
     
  2. There has been some talk. It has been teased, and tassled. But not until now do we have a proper, official confirmation. With the release of Overwatch 2 in October, the original will be phased out and all focus is on the sequel. No more updates, patches or extensions then. The new version will simply replace the original.
    Players have wondered, especially after a Reddit-AMA created some confusion. But now Blizzard has clarified what will happen:
    “Overwatch 2 will replace the current Overwatch build”.
    All player data and all progress will be transferred to the sequel, which is free-to-play unlike the first one. What repercussions this grip will have in the player base remains to be seen.
    What are your thoughts about this?
  3. Raft is being developed by Swedish Redbeet Interactive and has been in early access since 2018. Now, however, it is over, because it reached version 1.0, with its largest update ever.
    The update adds above all, the last chapter of the game's plot, and also three new places to visit: Varuna Point, which was a building where the world elite would seek protection, but which was abandoned before construction was completed; Temperance, which is a snow-covered area where the water has not reached; and a third, secret area where we will face the final challenge of the game.
    The plot has also been fine-tuned to flow better, and now there is also voice acting. In addition, there are new enemies, characters to play as, clothes, trade items and things to build. The game is sold with a 15 percent discount until July 8.
    CHANGELOG:
    BUG FIXES:
     
  4. A sigh went through the gaming world when EA announced The Lord of the Rings: Heroes of Middle-Earth last month, mainly because it was a mobile game. But more come from Tolkien's world, and whether it's good or bad that it's survival games we leave unsaid.
    The game is called The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria , and just as the name suggests, it revolves around a return to the dwarf kingdom of Moria, or Khazad-dûm if you want to be extra intrusive in your nerdiness. Once there, it will be dug, collected, mead drunk and built.
    During the course of the action, we will discover ancient landmarks, find veins of mithril and put our hands on one or another weapon - possibly one that glows blue when orcs are close. Dangers lurk in the dark, of course, and if you let too much (so if you are a little Tookig ) they can be awakened. Fortunately, you can not only play alone, but with up to seven other players if you want.
    The development is provided by Free Range Games, which has helped to develop games such as Oddworld: Soulstorm and the upcoming The Callisto Procotol , and has developed Spelldrifter . The game is expected to be released in the spring of 2023 for PC.
     
  5. During the Xbox show, it was clear that Diablo IV will (if not delayed, that is) be released during the first half of 2023. Exciting, and a little scary considering the criticism that Diablo Immortal is currently receiving. Above all, it is "pay to win" criticism that abounds.
    Now Blizzard more or less seems to want to say that Diablo IV is not based on the same principles as Immortal. Rod Fergusson, responsible for Diablo, tweets : "To clarify, Diablo IV is a full-price game built for PC, Playstation and Xbox audiences. The game will be built around "voluntary cosmetic gadgets and story-driven expansions", which sounds like something other than Immortal .
    After Warcraft III: Reforged and Diablo Immortal, for example, confidence in Blizzard is not at its peak. It remains to be seen if Overwatch 2 and Diablo IV can restore it in any way.
     

  6. Fallout 5 confirmed

    · SirMadsen · 06/20/2022 06:28 PM

    Yes, there will be a Fallout 5. Bethesda's strongman Todd Howard confirms to IGN that the story of life after the nuclear disaster will continue. But it will take time.
    First, of course, Bethesda will get Starfield, and then The Elder Scrolls 6. That game is currently in "pre-production", so it will probably take several years before Skyrim sequel is released. And as another cloud of concern (if it's mainly a new Fallout you want from Bethesda) is that they have some other ideas in stock. This is what Howard says:
    So long wait. As usual from Bethesda. The latest Elder Scrolls game, Skyrim, was released eleven years ago. Fallout 4 came out in 2015 and the much-loved (uh) multiplayer spin-off Fallout 76 landed in 2018. 
  7. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre will be a game again, and Gun Interactive and Sumo Digital aim to be truly faithful to the model. We got to see samples of that last month, when they showed some scenes from the game and the movie side by side, and they had really managed to capture the details.
    Now it's time to show off some gameplay from the game, and the terrifying experience of being in the Sawyer family's house is also retained. Something that does not really measure up is the facial animations, simply because there do not seem to be any - the characters have the same bored expression whether they are hiding in a freezer or getting a chainsaw through their stomach. Hopefully it's just because the game is not finished yet.
    We have not received a release date yet, but the trailer at least reveals that the game will be released sometime in 2023 for Playstation 4/5, PC and Xbox Series X / S, and also included in Game Pass.
     
  8. Diablo Immortal is the biggest launch in the series history, according to Blizzard. But that does not stop it from also being shrouded in controversy and disappointment. Although many people like the game, there are also many who do not take the game's micro-transactions lightly, as they think it goes over the limit of what is decent even in a free to play game. This led to the game shortly after its release becoming the Blizzard title with the worst user rating (0.5 out of 10) on Metacritic, but now it has set an even more depressing record.
    The average rating from users is currently 0.3, which makes it the PC game with the lowest rating on the entire site, while it shares the last place with Madden NFL 21 if you count all platforms. The thousands of reviews are full of zero points, and the focus of the complaints is of course the microtransactions.
    Although the game does not deserve the award as the world's worst, it's obvious that Blizzard has been deaf in the implementation of the game's revenue generation. As an example , the Twitch streamer Quin69 spent the equivalent of SEK 66,000 in the game without getting anything of real value. 
  9. During the non-E3 week, lots of games were announced, many of which first disappeared under the radar. But every thing has its time, and now we can tell about New Blood , a Fallout -like role-playing game from some of the brains behind Fallout , Van Buren and Planescape: Torment .
    The studio is aptly named New Blood Interactive, and they reportedly work on several titles in parallel. But perhaps most interesting is New Blood , a game that CEO Dave Oshry of PC Gamer described as "his dream game".
    The game is retrofuturistic and has an isometric game view. Just like Fallout then. Among those involved, we find Adam Lacko, who was behind much of the Van Buren , which was supposed to be the actual Fallout 3 (before Bethesda took over). Alexander Berezin was behind much of the graphics and aesthetics of famous Fallout mods (see an example above). Composer Mark Morgan is also on the train - you've probably heard his music in the Fallout games, Planescape: Torment and Inxiles Wasteland sequel, to name a few titles.
    Platforms and release dates are not announced.
     
  10. Daedalic and Nacon have finally nailed a date for The Lord of the Rings: Gollum, and the release is just over three months away. On September 1, the stealth adventure will be released for various consoles and PCs. Various consoles" unfortunately do not include Switch, whose players will have to wait until later in 2022.
    Since the Gollum game was unveiled in 2019, the information has been scarce, but we got a first gameplay trailer last spring and a more cinematic variant last winter (which you can find just below).
    The adventure takes place between the Hobbit saga and the Lord of the Rings trilogy, which means that it can tell its own story and avoid being chained to book shackles. However, JRR Tolkien's legacy must be preserved:
     
     
  11. We here at Throneofgeeks love Arma and we play it a lot with some great people. Today, Arma 4 was confirmed but with no release date as they are still working on the game. But, another good news was that there is now a working Arma game that uses Bohemia Interactives new Enfusion game engine that Arma 4 will be built upon.
    We didn't get a lot of information about Arma 4, so our guess is that it is still in early development and will not release for another year or two.
    Enter Arma Reforger
    Powered by the new Enfusion engine, Arma Reforger lets you fight for supremacy over 51 km2 of incredible island terrain in an authentic Cold War setting, or create unique scenarios in real-time with the Game Master curation mode. Return to Everon, the war-driven microstate from the hit game that started it all, Arma: Cold War Assault.
    Arma Reforger is the first step towards Arma 4 and a versatile, creative, fully-moddable platform for the future, offering a glimpse of things to come.
    You can get Arma Reforger now on Steam and support the developers.
     
  12. Nine years after Arma 3, it's about time.
    Tonight, may 17, Bohemia Interactive will present the future of Arma, the mil sim whose third part will soon turn nine years old. So maybe it's finally time for Arma 4..?
    As you can see, the event starts at 7 p.m. Tuesday night, and it takes place in twitch.tv/armaplatform.
    Late last year, Bohemia showed a new game engine called Enfusion. It was stated to be more flexible and easier to work in than the older Arma game. The new engine was unveiled without them saying what game it was intended for. Most likely, we will know it later today.
     
  13. If your teammates have fallen in Evil Dead: The Game, you’ll either need to revive them or resurrect their soul. Here’s how you can bring your teammates back to life in Evil Dead: The Game. 
    Evil Dead: The Game is a fresh take on asymmetrical horror games, as players team up to defeat the Kandarian demon and the dreaded Deadites. Tackling the undead is no easy feat in Evil Dead: The Game and you’ll likely need to revive your teammates, or even resurrect their souls.
    Fear not as reviving your friends and bringing them back into the fight isn’t as difficult as it may seem.
    How to revive your teammates in Evil Dead: The Game
    Collecting the pages of the Necronomicon will often lead to one or two of your teammates facing certain death. If your teammate is bleeding out in battle, here’s how you can revive them:
    Locate your teammate via the ‘Bleeding Out’ logo on-screen Stand next to your teammate to activate the ‘Revive’ prompt Hold down ‘Revive’ Once you’ve revived your fallen teammate, make sure to heal up using Shemp’s Cola, which can found around the map. Some classes grant extra buffs too, so it’s worth heading back to the menu and leveling up your character once in a while.
    If you can’t revive your teammates, their soul will need to be resurrected, if you wish to bring them back into battle.
    How to resurrect souls in Evil Dead: The Game
    Evil Dead: The Game isn’t forgiving and the onslaught of Deadites will take out your teammates along the way. To bring back your teammates from the afterlife, you need to resurrect their soul by following these steps:
    Find your teammate’s soul Stand next to it and hold down ‘Collect’ Take it to the ‘Altar’ location marked on-screen At the ‘Altar’, hold down ‘Resurrect’ Now your teammate will appear back in the game as you continue your quest to defeat the Dark Ones.
    Keep in mind that it's not always ideal to revive or resurrect immediately if a team member is downed or dead. Even though revive is fast, you open yourself up to powerful attacks from bosses and other enemies. Also, while a member of your team is down, the enemy player can't get fear of off the downed player and thus level up slower. If you are certain that you can win the fight with one or two members downed, it might be better to let them bleed out, win the fight and then resurrect them at an alter. Remember, if you are on the last stages, getting the dagger or the Necronomicon pages, winning the fight will expel the demon and giving you plenty of time to resurrect dead players.
    Another important thing to know is that on the very last stage, when the two minute timer begins to defend the necronomicon, there are no second chances. If a player is killed by the demon, the player is dead, like really dead. No revives or resurrects.

  14. Oh no BHVR... Not again...

    · SirMadsen · 03/13/2022 06:24 PM

    Soo... A new bug have arise in Dead by Daylight where you can get permanent wallhacks in a match if using the perk Blood Pact and you are injured, Object of Obsession will trigger and stay on for the entire match.
    This was brought to devs attention in the DbD forums. But, instead of acknowledging it and saying thanks for bringing this to our attention, they just straight up deleted the posts from the forum and the bug is still present.
    From what I understand from the YouTuber and Twitch streamer Dowsey, BHVR have a kill switch where they can turn off any perk and such within a few seconds. This bug have been present for more than 24 hours. And we're not talking about a small bug here, we're talking about a wallhack that literally let you see the killer across the entire map, for the entire match.
    Guess you have to be a really killer hockey player to win games with that...
    Dowsey also made a video about it to put more pressure on the devs, watch it in the spoiler below. What are your thoughts on BHVS's behavior lately?
  15. New codes drop occasionally. DBD Bloodpoint codes can earn you a whole lot of Bloodpoints. Meanwhile, other DBD redeem codes reward players with cosmetics and charms.
    Below you will find all the currently active codes for Dead by Daylight:
    DBDTHEBOARDGAME — Redeem code for 200,000 Bloodpoints
    PRIDE — Redeem code for a Rainbow Flag Pride Charm. (Permanent)
    Nice — Redeem code for 69 Bloodpoints (new players only?)
    Note that there are almost daily DBD login rewards for 50,000, so make sure to claim them.
    The tag "dbd redeem awards" will show you all posts with Dead by Daylight codes that can be redeemed.
  16. It has come to our attention that Behaviour, the studio behind the horror 4v1 game Dead by Daylight have taken some sort of retaliation against the content creator Dowsey, known for his educational DbD content with over 700 videos on his YouTube channel and almost 64k follower on Twitch.
    The developer team recently had a live Q&A stream where they went through select questions, yes, select questions, not live questions in a Live stream, and they made some very weird analogies to sports like hockey. They also manages the art of not answering a single question with a straight answer. The whole Q&A was a joke and has led to a mass ramble on twitter and YouTube. At one point the devs even answered a question from one of DbD’s biggest streamers, Otzdarva, and they sounded like they didn’t know who it was, barely managing to pronounce his name.
    Anyway, at one point Dowsey memed (quote above) one of the developers for his annoyingly bad hockey comparison and his much strange thought on what a good player is…
    Apparently this triggered the developers that, not even 24 hours later had removed Dowseys content creator Twitch in-game cosmetics which are T-Shirts for the survivors.
    And Dowsey is sport on. The comment section of this post is full of people literally complaining about hackers not being dealt with, unbalanced boons, unbalanced perks, broken MMR and matchmaking etc. There are so many wrongs with the game right now and yet, the developers find time to go after and target one of their biggest content creators for A MEME!? Let’s not forget that content creators like Dowsey have probably brought hundreds of new players to the game and this is how they are treated…
    You can see the message from BHVR that Dowsey got here. Watch the announcement video here.
    Update: BHVR are now actively banning people from their Discord who criticize them for their actions against Dowsey. Watch the video here.
    What are your thoughts on this?
  17. Evil Dead The Game will have one huge map and it will have several different locations according to the game developers.
    Saber Interactive was recently interviewed by YouTuber unCAGEDgamez talking about details of the upcoming Evil Dead The Game. They discussed various topics like gameplay, lore, crossplay, and many more. One of the details first discussed was about the map.
    Chief Creative Officer Tim Willits revealed that Evil Dead The Game does not have various maps to choose from at launch (in this interview because they revealed there will be another map later on, Castle Kandar DLC map). Instead, it will be one huge map with many various locations that the players will randomly spawn in. Each location will have an interesting point of interest that directly comes from the Evil Dead TV series and movies.
    Willits explains that these locations will have random objectives to complete to gain some rewards that can help defeat the Deadites. The whole map will have different weather effects and different times at night. Each playthrough will be different as objectives for each location will be randomized, weather effects will be different, and other elements that will make every experience unique.
    Narrative Director Craig Sherman also revealed some of the points of interest that players will encounter in their playthrough. According to him, Evil Dead fans will definitely recognize these locations from various movies and TV series. He revealed Ash’s Home from Ash vs. Evil Dead, the notorious Knowby cabin from the original The Evil Dead and other mediums, and more. There are also spooky locations like a crash airplane site called Flight 666, a derelict doll factory, cemeteries, and more.
  18. Survivors Need To Stick Together
    One of Evil Dead: The Game's primary mechanics is Fear. As the Survivors explore the map, each character's Fear will increase. The more characters are suffering from high Fear, the faster the Kandarian Demon levels up.
    If a character's Fear meter is at its maximum, the Kandarian Demon can sense and even possess them, taking temporary control of the character and attacking the other Survivors.
    Fear is inevitable, but the Survivors can keep it under control by staying together and having a plan. A character's Fear increases much more quickly if there are no other Survivors around, so it's important not to go running off on your own. By the same token, the Demon can benefit tremendously if they manage to isolate a Survivor.
    Use Vehicles
    The game's map is fairly large, and the Survivors are on a time limit to gather all the components necessary to banish the Dark Ones. While driving a vehicle will attract the attention of the Demon, it's a much faster and safer mode of travel than moving on foot.
    Walking through the woods exposes the Survivors to Deadite attacks and unnecessary increases to their Fear, so if you find a car have everyone pile in and floor it to your next destination.
    This goes for the Demon as well - if you've found the Survivors and there's a vehicle nearby, you can possess it and run them down Christine-style. Alternately, you can distract the Survivors with Deadites and then drive the nearest vehicle far away, forcing them to hoof it.
    Always Turn Your Flashlight On Indoors
    Indoor areas provide enough sense of safety to allow Survivors to recover from Fear, and they also tend to be the places with the most items to grab. Whenever you're ransacking a house for supplies, be sure to turn on your flashlight. Some items will only appear if illuminated by a Survivor's flashlight, so leaving it off will cause you to miss out on useful gear.
    Each Survivor's flashlight has limited battery life. Once the flashlight dies, it cannot be used for the rest of the match. Remember to turn your flashlight off when you're not searching for items.
    Killing Survivors Is Hard
    The Survivors in Evil Dead: The Game really live up to their name. Each member of the team can take considerable punishment before being downed, and even then can be revived by their teammates. While this doesn't mean Survivors should take unnecessary risks, it does mean they can afford to be reckless from time to time.
    From the Demon's perspective, this means you shouldn't expect to eliminate all the Survivors in one encounter. It's much better to identify stragglers and try to pick them off one by one. The fewer Survivors that make it to the final encounter, the better.
    Finish The Match Even If You Can't Win
    We get it, losing is frustrating - maybe your teammates are just running around killing Deadites while you only have one map piece and five minutes left on the clock, or maybe you're the Demon and the Survivors have the Necronomicon on lockdown. Either way, you should see the match through. Leaving a match early will cause you to forfeit all rewards gained from the match, robbing you of a chance to level up and do better next time.
    Every Character Starts With One Skill Point
    It might not be readily apparent, especially if you dive right into a game the first time you launch Evil Dead, but each playable character has a Skill Point ready to be assigned from the get-go. You can get an immediate edge by going to the Collection screen to assign this point.
    Since each character of the same class uses the same skill tree, there's only one skill that can be enhanced right away, it's unclear why this Skill Point isn't just automatically assigned. Whatever the reason, you'll be that much more effective in your early matches if you take the time to manually assign the points for the characters you intend to play.
    Remember To Level Up During A Match
    You'd be amazed how easy it is to forget you've earned a stat boost. Survivors especially can pick up a can of Pink F right before a battle and then move on without using it. Using the upgrades you've earned is essential for both the Survivors and the Demon, so don't forget.
    If you play a character consistently, pick a voice line they use fairly often. Whenever the voice line plays, double-check to make sure you aren't sitting on any unused stat points.
  19. All Evil Dead: The Game classes have their respective powers and roles to play as you go up against either the Deadites and Kandarian demons, or alternatively, against Ash Williams and the survivors. Some excel at ranged combat, some help their allies, some summon allies and some puke on people. Takes all sorts, it seems, but it means there's a class and role for everybody playing Evil Dead: The Game. We'll go through all the Evil Dead classes below, including what they do and how they should be played.
    There's seven different classes in Evil Dead: The Game, four for the survivors and three for the demons. 
    Survivors
    Hunters Leaders Support Warriors Demons/Deadites
    Necromancers Puppeteers Warlords Survivors in the Evil Dead are basically our heroes - humans from the films determined to quell the evil in the area and escape with their body parts still attached. There's a set number of four survivors in each game.
    Hunters (Survivors)
    Hunters are often by nature, ranged fighters who keep enemies at a distance and avoid melee fighting when they can. They can hold greater ammo than most classes and are superior to other classes at locating resources. There's actually an extra character here - whereas most classes have three people to pick from, this class has four.
    Includes:
    Ash Williams (Evil Dead 2) Amanda Fisher (Ash vs. Evil Dead) Ed Getley (Evil Dead 2) Kelly Maxwell (Ash vs. Evil Dead) Leaders (Survivors)
    Leaders serve as a kind of frontline support class, buffing nearby allies by reducing incoming damage, boosting outgoing damage, curing status conditions and revealing objectives. While there's nothing forcing you to obey the Leader, they can help organise and rally players properly. Stay close to them for the best effect.
    Includes:
    Ash Williams (Ash vs. Evil Dead TV Series) Annie Knowbury (Evil Dead 2) Lord Arthur (Army of Darkness) Support (Survivors)
    Whereas the Leaders help allies on the frontlines, Support hangs back a little more and pulls the loose teeth and daggers out of their allies with various healing powers. They can also mark targets and carry more consumables than other classes.
    Includes:
    Ash Williams (Evil Dead) Cheryl Williams (Evil Dead) Pablo Simon Bolivar (Ash vs. Evil Dead) Warriors (Survivors)
    Whereas Hunters are ranged fighters, Warriors are melee-focused fighters who stand on the frontlines, acting as tanks and mowing down nearby demons as efficiently as possible. They don't have much effectiveness over range, but it doesn't matter - their job is to stand between the oncoming horrors and your less durable allies, chainsawing anything that gets too close.
    Includes:
    Ash Williams (Army of Darkness) Henry the Red (Army of Darkness) Scotty (Evil Dead) The Demonic forces, sometimes known as the Deadites when they take over human bodies, are the villains. There's only one player-controlled Demon character in any game, but they're individually tougher than any of the humans, as they're actually a bodiless, overseeing force that can set and trigger traps, spawn minions of varying power, possess players and objects, and eventually manifest themselves as powerful boss Deadites with special abilities.
    Necromancers (Demons)
    The Necromancers come wholly from the Army of Darkness movie - there's Evil Ash, who you might remember pulling himself out of Ash's shoulder before taking a shotgun to the nose and being buried - and two variants of Skeleton minion to boot. Necromancers do a mix of summoning and melee combat, fighting on the front line among other minions that they work with as a collective horde.
    Includes:
    Evil Ash (Army of Darkness) Skeleton Elite (Army of Darkness) Skeleton (Army of Darkness) Puppeteers (Demons)
    The Puppeteers are remote or ranged fighters who impede the survivors, pin them down, or just sling things at them from a safer distance. Using more complex attacks, this is a class type that takes a little more thought, but rewards tactical striking and careful selection of targets.
    Includes:
    Deadite Berserker  Demi Eligos Eligos Warlords (Demons)
    Warlords are tanky brutes, probably the simplest class of all, using heavy strikes, short-range AOE attacks, and even their own severed limbs to brutalise nearby foes. What ranged attacks they have are limited, but as a Warlord you can do a lot of damage to survivors by getting in the middle of them and just flailing at every face you see.
    Includes:
    Deadite Deadite Elite Henrietta
  20. The Warcraft mobile game that have been buzzing about for a while has been unveiled. Warcraft Arclight Rumble is the name, and it is a action strategy of the cuter kind.
    About 60 heroes are available to fight with and collect, both in single player and with and against friends in both co-op and pvp. The team can be put together and the look customized, and there are five groupings to choose from (alliance, horde, beast, blackrock, undead). The army is to be leveled up and new missions unlocked.
    When the game will be released was not mentioned, only that it will come to a limited number of regions (unclear which ones) shortly. It is possible to pre-register now for the Android version, while iOS users look like they will have to wait. Registration is done on this site: https://warcraftrumble.blizzard.com/en-us/
     
  21. Disney seems determined to hit the nostalgia nerve of every single person with the announcement of Dreamlight Valley. Classic character after classic character is glimpsed in the trailer for this "life simulator" and adventure game, which will be free-to-play and released for PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4/5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Game Pass and iOS.
    The plot revolves around a village that was once idyllic, but which, after an event called "the Forgetting", now lies deserted and overgrown by thorny plants. Of course, there are both heroes and evils from Disney's many worlds, including everything from Scrooge to Wreck-It Ralph. However, we get to create and tailor our own character ourselves.
    In addition to solving the mystery of what has happened, we will be able to engage in cooking with the rat from Ratatouille, fishing with Goofy and gardening with Wall-E. The game is set to be released in 2023, but you can buy into early access this summer by paying for a Founder's Pack or a Game Pass membership. More info on the official website.
     
  22. Star Citizen continues its controversial journey towards a possibly finished game, and now alpha version 3.17 has been released, along with the trailer below. This update offers a lot of news, and one of the main ones is that you can now refuel other ships. For example, if there is an extra intense battle, you can buy fuel from other players with tankers.
    Another welcome news related to trade is that you can now sell the various items that you find in the universe, rather than just regular merchandise. This means, among other things, that you can sell defeated players weapons to get a little extra cash.
    If you then want to take a breath of fresh air, the game's first river can be a good destination, and it can be found on the planet Microtech. This is the first example of the river technique that the game will use, and just like in real life, the waterways affect how the surrounding landscape looks.
    Other news includes that the freighter MISC Hull A can now be flown in the game, and the extraction of minerals can be done faster and more efficiently using the new extraction equipment. More info about the update here, and if you want to talk to like-minded people, the official Star Citizen thread is a perfect place.
     
  23. Diablo Immortal will be released on June 2, Blizzard said in a video. The big surprise was that the game is coming to PC as well. So far, it has officially only been in the works for mobiles (Android and iOS).
    It is as you probably know a free to play game, and there will be both crossplay and cross-progression between the platforms, allowing you to pick up and continue on PC where you left off on mobile. And vice versa.
    The PC version should appear as an open beta, the website tells us without saying when. But there's a button to pre-register (unclear what the difference is to "signing up"...), so might as well do it if you're in the mood.

    There are two locations within the game menus where you'll find a code entry screen, which will let you type in any of the Lego Star Wars The Skywalker Saga codes listed above.
    1. Open Holoprojector, move to Extras tab then follow Enter Code prompt.
    2. Enter the Pause menu and select the key icon labelled Enter Code.
    If you enter the code correctly, you'll receive a notification to confirm it has been accepted and revealing what has been unlocked. As with previous games, you'll only need to enter each Lego Star Wars The Skywalker Saga code once, which will permanently unlock the item or feature and, where applicable, the option to enable or disable it through the menu.
  25. On March 24, the TV series Halo premieres on Paramount+. After some trouble in the production. First season "showrunner" Steven Kane has said that the aim is to ensure that old fans feel welcome, this through a close collaboration with 343 Industries. Of course, he also said that even newcomers should feel at home and comfortable.
    Now the first reviews (of the first two episodes) are starting to roll in, and a new trailer has also been released.
    The reviews are a mixed bag. Quotes like "an intriguing mess," and "far from a masterstroke" are circulating. Hopefully the world build, the lore and the script will get better as time goes on. March 24 we have the answer.
    The series is exclusive to Paramount Plus, so you need a subscription there to see it.
