Unless you have a specific starting class, you’ll find that staffs for casting sorcery are surprisingly hard to come by. For some players, who want to focus on melee, this won’t be an issue - but for many, the option of ranged attacks when the situation or enemy demands it is incredibly useful, especially against bosses such as the Tree Sentinel. Though you’ll find staffs from vendors and merchants as you progress along the critical path, if you want to find a staff location early in Elden Ring - and a sorcery teacher to build up your array of spells - then you need to know where to look....

Elite Dangerous’ first SRV (that’s Surface Recon Vehicle, in case you were wondering) arrived as part of the game’s Horizons expansion back in 2015. Horizons added the ability to land on planets, and that first SRV, the single-seater Scarab - released long before the Odyssey expansion introduced on-foot traversal - was an integral part of the puzzle, giving players the ability to travel outside their ships. Six years went by with no new options for buggy fans, but that’s all changed with Elite Dangerous’ latest update....

The trial wrapped up yesterday with some closing remarks from both parties, with Epic reiterating that the case would have an impact on the wider mobile games market and other developers (via GamesIndustry.biz). “Epic acknowledges that this is an important case, that there’s an important set of conduct, and that a remedy… of the sort that Epic has requested would be important and significant,” said Epic’s counsel Gary Bornstein. “But that is because the issue affects such a large number of consumers, such a large number of developers, and has persisted for such a long period of time....

Deviation Games’ partnership with Sony was made public in June 2021, with the announcement only going as far as to say the 100-person studio was currently working on a “brand-new original IP”, said to have already been in development for a year at the time. Blundell’s departure from Deviation - which comes even before the studio’s first title has been officially revealed - was announced in a statement shared on Twitter....

Discovering and defeating Dondozo is required as part of the Path of Legends storyline in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. Regardless of whatever order you tackle the Titans, you’ll want to know more about the False Dragon Titan location, as well as Dondozo weaknesses - especially if you are approaching underleveled. On this page: False Dragon Titan recommended level Before you take on the False Dragon Titan, we recommend you have a team levelled in the mid to high 50s....

As such, many dedicated fans have taken to Splatoon 2 to say their farewells to the beloved game, leaving Inkopolis Square awash with truly heartwarming messages. Martin recently awarded Splatoon 3 a Recommended badge, remarking that while there are “few surprises to be found in Splatoon 3’s multiplayer or campaign” it is still the “best Nintendo’s spectacular series has been to date”. “It’s more Splatoon, and I understand if for many that’s not quite enough,” he wrote....

Now, as a touching tribute to the designer’s work and legacy, many fans have taken to Fallout 76 to express their sorrow at his passing, and to bid him farewell. Sharing on Twitter using the hashtag “ThanksFerret”, fans have created in-game homages to Baudoin. “[Thanks Ferret] for all the joy you have brought me and my family through your work. May peace and comfort embrace those you leave behind,” wrote one, with a sign etched with the words “Forever Ferret Baudoin” on it....

“In Final Fantasy 4”, explains Square, “The Kingdom of Baron sends their elite airship fleet, the Red Wings, to attack the surrounding countries. Distressed by his mission, Cecil, a dark knight and captain of the Red Wings, decides to fight against the tyrannical Baron with his trusted friend and his paramour at his side.” Final Fantasy 4’s pixel remaster follows similar releases for the first three games, bringing updated 2D pixel character and background art, a rearranged soundtrack (overseen by original composer Nobuo Uematsu), improved gameplay, and a range of quality of life additions....

Until recently the streamer, whose real name is Darren Watkins Jr, was working with Sky Sports, helping with its broadcasts of matches for the English Premier League. However, the channel has now removed almost all traces of the streamer from its social media feeds (although some still remain). As reported by The Athletic, Sky’s decision to cut ties with the streamer came after executives were made aware of a video of Watkins from April, during which he verbally abused his team mates during a round of Valorant....

Throughout Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 7 we’ve witnessed the alien invasion on the island which will come to a close with the end of season event, Operation: Sky Fire. While much of Season 8 currently remains a mystery, we can expect to see some map changes in the aftermath of this event, along with new skins and challenges. Below you can find the Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 8 release date, estimated start time and everything else we know about the next Fortnite season....

The new season, which is due to launch this Sunday, 18th September, will be titled “Paradise” - though looks to be anything but. Over the weekend, a series of social media teases set to go live officially this week were pounced on by fans, after being found early. The teases comprise three TikTok-style influencer videos, where items and people are suddenly consumed by a metallic gunge. In-game, Fortnite has made reference to this stuff washing up on the Island....

There wasn’t a lot of news for Fortnite players - at least, not on the surface. But eagle-eyed Fishstick fans did subsequently spot something: a brief glimpse at a list of Fortnite file names left open on a strategically-placed Epic Games computer. Zoom in and you can make out references to “Vader” and “Family Guy”. “Vader” is interesting due to its “C3S3” prefix - suggesting the character could become available during Fortnite’s next season (Chapter 3 Season 3), and potentially as part of its battle pass....

While it might look like a mix between a weed trimmer and a grenade launcher, it offers a decent element of build destruction and splash damage. Also, while using it, I feel like I’m holding the Poltergust-3000 in Luigi’s Mansion. The Recycler holds up to three explosive shells at a time, mixed together from whatever you’ve sucked into its nozzle - trees, rocks, lamp posts, or other player’s builds. Switching its flow then shoots these projectiles out, which then explode on impact with players or ping pong around builds similar to grenades....

It does blind us to the gems the studio crafted before their cultural juggernaut came along though. While many are clamouring for From Software to revive its mech combat series Armoured Core, I’m pining for the team to bring back a criminally overlooked and largely forgotten horror game for the Playstation 2: Kuon. Which is fitting since Kuon is a game all about resurrection. The terrible curse that has befallen Fujiwara Manor, during the Heian era of Japan (about a thousand years ago), centres around an attempt to revive the dead through nine cycles where, in each one, the undead must merge with increasingly larger hosts to stay alive....

“We continue to believe that this deal will expand competition and create more opportunities for gamers and game developers,” Microsoft’s vice chair and president Brad Smith said in a statement. “We have been committed since Day One to addressing competition concerns, including by offering earlier this week proposed concessions to the FTC.” “While we believed in giving peace a chance,” Smith concluded, “we have complete confidence in our case and welcome the opportunity to present our case in court....

It means the two services have now merged into one subscription under the Crunchyroll name, to form the world’s largest anime collection. Pricing remains the same.

In a back and forth on Twitter, Gunn stated the “DCU will be connected across film and TV (and animation).” When asked further if this statement also included games, Gunn replied with a simple and clear “yes”. This news is not surprising. Earlier reports revealed that Warner Bros. Discovery head David Zaslav had spoken to the wider company about plans to “build a bible for a cohesive DC universe” that would include media such as “live-action films, TV, animation, gaming and more”....

Ubatcha is one of the most popular sources for Genshin Impact leaks. As well as having over 460,000 followers on Twitter, Ubatcha posts in a Discord channel called Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, which has over 270,000 members. It’s this Discord server that was targeted with a subpoena by the gatcha game’s publishing label Cognosphere. As reported by TorrentFreak, a Los Angeles law firm filed the subpoena application on behalf of Cognosphere....
