Hytale’s first big update in early access is out now with a whole host of bug fixes, quality-of-life improvements, new content and customization options, and a vague, dog-related tease.Developer Hypixel published its extensive list of patch notes earlier today, and the update’s highlight is undoubtably the addition of “dinosaurs and other NPCs to populate the underground jungles.” But be warned: their behaviour is still a work in progress, much like everything else in the blocky sandbox.What raised my eyebrows up to my hairline, though, is a little tease at the bottom of the blog. Under the ‘Extras’ subsection of the…
To put it mildly, several skills on the Arc Raiders raider skill tree seem better than others. To put it less mildly, as I said to design lead Virgil Watkins in a recent interview, player testing has found that several skills have an indiscernible impact on gameplay. Fortunately, Watkins says Embark is “not deaf” to the sorry state of these unlovable skills, and buffs are “100% on our radar.” (Here are our picks for the best skills in Arc Raiders.)”I think even internally, we know,” he says. “There’s certain skills I don’t choose. So yeah, 100%. I’m not going to…
It’s no secret that The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy is a huge game, to put it lightly. Before launch, the veterans behind Danganronpa and Zero Escape were boasting of 100 routes dense enough to be considered proper endings, but now, almost a year after its release, developer Too Kyo Games has revealed that The Hundred Line has actually been two games in one all along.On social media, the developer said that The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy has been masquerading as a single game this entire time but it’s actually a two-in-one pack containing The Hundred Line and The…
Welcome back to Westeros. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms takes us back into George R.R. Martin’s fantasy world, catching up with the hedge knight Ser Duncan the Tall and his unusual young squire Egg.But, you might be wondering when A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms takes place on the Game of Thrones timeline. After all, the history of Westeros spans hundreds of years, with major events like the war of the Blacks vs. the Greens and the War of the Five Kings taking place in this time span.Below, we’ve laid out the relevant parts of the Knight of the…
Former Dragon Age executive producer Mark Darrah, who had been at BioWare for over two decades working on iconic games, recently defended the studio’s swing (and miss) with Anthem, the exosuit-boasting looter shooter that was both a massive departure for the developer and a big failure.When asked if he wanted to set the record straight about anything, in an interview with Destin Legarie reflecting on Anthem’s recent shutdown, Darrah mentioned how a lot of people would come “out of the woodwork” around launch to say things like, “‘See, I told you so'” and “‘BioWare should have never made Anthem because…
Box art isn’t traditionally the first bit of art that’s drawn up when making a game – whatever’s printed on physical boxes and digital thumbnails usually comes when it’s time to market the thing – but that’s exactly what happened with Fallout 3 as the devs thought it was important to start at the very beginning and reimagine Fallout 1’s box art.”It started with the box art,” lead artist Istvan Pely remembered in an interview with Edge Magazine. “The original Fallout 1 box, with the power armor on it, was iconic. To me, that was Fallout. So, that was the…
I know that many soulslike enjoyers will put FromSoftware as the titan of the genre, and that’s fair – they make the best soulslikes, and with the Dark Souls series, they thrust the subgenre of action-RPGs into the spotlight. However, Team Ninja doesn’t get enough respect as one of FromSoft’s biggest rivals, and with Nioh 3 on the horizon, it’s time to give them the recognition they deserve – and what better time to pre-order than when you can get a special discount? While Elden Ring and Dark Souls have more thoughtful, slower-paced combat, Nioh 3 is a lot faster.…
The Last of Us and Uncharted 4 game director Bruce Straley is back with a game that basically sells itself from the word go: Coven of the Chicken Foot has you play as a witchy grandma with chicken feet as she builds a bond with a hulking fantasy creature. And Straley’s taking some inspiration from lots of places, from his own post-apocalyptic work and a Studio Ghibli classic to Fumito Ueda. Coven of the Chicken Foot – Announcement Trailer – YouTube Watch On Speaking to GamesRadar+ about his upcoming “semi-open-world” explorative puzzle game, Straley explains that while building the central…
Since the arrival of the United Kingdom’s Online Safety Act, anyone in the UK who wants to access sites featuring adult content, including the likes of Reddit and Bluesky, must upload their ID or provide similarly strong evidence to prove they’re over 18. A lot of adults are understandably perturbed by the idea of having to upload scans of their passports or driver’s licenses for fear of privacy violations or data breaches, so they use VPNs to get around it. But, right now, children and teenagers can just as easily circumvent these age checks using VPNs, so a proposed amendment…
28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, besides being a simply brilliant sequel to an already impressive franchise revival last year, ends on a moment that some fans might not have anticipated. After managing to escape the clutches of Jimmy Crystal (Jack O’Connell) and the Bone Temple, we then cut to a very familiar cottage we’ve not seen since 28 Days Later. It’s here we’re reunited with Cillian Murphy’s Jim, who has seemingly been living on this untouched plot of land since we saw him last, and is about to have his quaint little life interrupted by Spike (Alfie Williams) and…
