In the video below you’ll get exactly what it says on the tin, with gameplay captured from the Xbox Series X version of Dying Light 2. Obviously there are spoilers for the first hour of the game here. We’ll have more on Dying Light 2 in the coming days and weeks. What do you think? Fancy it?
This journey sees you warping back and forth between worlds, the basis for a narrative in which every character, place or thing is haunted by its alternative. In one reality, a vast technological complex exists far across the sea; in another, it is a ruin. In one reality, a local man has become an accomplished fisherman; in the other, he is a feverish recluse who worships a straw idol (which you can eventually recruit as a party member)....

Sony’s exclusive is out on 9th November, but it seems players have got their hands on it early and are sharing screenshots online, as well as spoilers about the game’s key story beats. “You know, right now, I can really understand the benefit of having just an installer on the physical disc. smh”, Barlog tweeted overnight. “Sorry to everyone that you have to dodge the spoilers if you want to play the game fresh,” Barlog added in a subsequent tweet....
Data from app store analysts Sensor Tower pegged Crash’s launch at nearly $700k in revenue over its first week available, with 23.6m downloads worldwide by the end of March. Downloads of the endless runner are now up to 37.5m as of 14th April, PocketGamer.biz reported. All of this means Crash had a bigger launch than many other games launched by King, Activision Blizzards’s mobile arm, such as Bubble Witch 3 Saga....
The 1.7.1 patch, which goes live today, marks the end of the British studio’s post-launch support for the popular strategy game, which saw seven DLC releases over the course of two years. The development team has transitioned onto another project based on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms novel, Creative Assembly said in a video to fans, below. It’s not clear exactly what direction and scope this new project will take....
It’s something of a moment, then, to have Criterion Games back - and back on Need for Speed for a second stint behind the wheel following 2010’s Hot Pursuit and 2012’s Most Wanted. Need for Speed Unbound marks the start of a new chapter, with Criterion now overseeing the series once more and to mark the occasion I spoke to studio veteran and Unbound’s creative director Kieran Crimmins. Thanks for chatting to me, I’m sure you’re exceptionally busy with launch not many days away....
Despite having been superseded by last year’s stellar Crusader Kings 3, there’s still plenty of demand for Crusader Kings 2, in no small part thanks to its staggering bounty of rich, post-launch DLC. It’s an intimidating proposition, though, and Paradox made initial attempts to ease entry into Crusader Kings 2’s world of medieval sword swinging and subterfuge back in 2019 by making the base game free-to-play. Following that first step, and a few limited experiments with subscriptions in Europa Universalis 4, the developer is now ready to go all in, and, as of today, is offering punters the opportunity to access the full Crusader Kings 2 catalogue - including 13 majors expansions, 12 unit packs, 14 music packs, 10 portrait packs, and more - for £3....
There are a couple of good reasons why Crysis 3 Remastered runs well on Switch and that starts with the scalability of the original game. Yes, Crytek’s 2013 game is monstrously demanding at its highest settings, but knock back the quality presets and it turns out to be far more manageable on a wider range of kit - and let’s not forget that there was a rendition of the game that ran on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3....
The DLC was released across all platforms and adds a new island to the game, along with a host of new bosses to defeat. By 2020, the original game had sold 6m copies, so this means a considerable portion of players have picked up the new DLC.

These blocky little champs will be heading our way on 9th September, Nintendo has revealed, asking us all to “block off [our] calendar” for the occasion. Very good, Nintendo. Very good. These amiibo were originally meant to be released along with Min Min from Arms earlier this year. Min Min saw her amiibo debut in April. However, at that time Nintendo cited “logistics and production delay” as the reason for Alex and Steve needing to see their outing pushed back a touch....
Set in the Dreaming City, this six player co-operative event has you revisit the Blind Well and take on several differing stages in order to take out Xivu Arath’s forces. Though the lack of motes to collect makes for a nice change from previous activities, there is unfortunately the arrival of some bugs at launch - with the Astral Alignment activity not working some of the time. On this page: Essentially, it’ll play out the same each time except for the third stage, which will be one or two possible activities....
These are a key part of the Wayfinder’s Voyage quest, where each week you must visit the Shattered Realm in order to progress the storyline.

On this page: Each one has three beacons and a boss battle to complete within a Taken-style realm, but that’s not all; each area has multiple types of collectibles and secrets to uncover, unlocking various Seasonal Challenges and Triumphs in the process....
Dune: Spice Wars is in development at Northgard maker Shiro Games, and is set on Arrakis - Dune’s famous harsh desert planet. The teaser trailer is below: Arrakis is a whole lot of sand and not much else, which, Shiro Games said, presents a whole set of problems when it comes to making a video game set upon it. The answer was to choose a “somewhat cartoonish and bold art style”....

Ryzen processors have historically proven more sensitive to RAM speed than their Intel Core counterparts, so we expect to see even greater performance gains from high frequency RAM on our AMD test bed. As in part one, in-game frame-rates are the primary focus here, with three CPU-heavy games tested. We’ve also thrown in some content creation workloads to see whether faster RAM can speed up common tasks like transcoding or rendering....
That’s according to a new Nikkei (paywall) report, which follows up on Nintendo’s latest financial results issued earlier this week. During those results, Nintendo said it faced manufacturing issues due to component shortages. Speaking to Nikkei, Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa said that sorting these was now Nintendo’s immediate goal. Nintendo Switch console sales slowed over the past quarter, though the company has not updated its estimate for the year - which was admittedly rather conservative....
The 12-minute event was announced by Capcom in its main showcase last night. The fact Capcom has put together a whole show for Dragon’s Dogma has fans of the cult RPG very excited. Well, excited and annoyed Capcom just didn’t announce a sequel then and there. Speaking last night, Dragon’s Dogma game director Hideaki Itsuno noted the original game had just passed its 10th anniversary - and that the franchise had now spawned various spin-offs (though no full sequel as yet)....
