Those seeking for the latest reward in Destiny 2’s weekly PvP mode, MP1st is here to bring the new Destiny 2 Trials of Osiris rewards this week May 20,2022 edition! Check out what you can win, and this weekend’s map pick.
New Destiny 2 Trials of Osiris Rewards This Week May 20, 2022:
Reputation Rank 10: Trials Weapon (Changes for each rank reset)
Reputation Rank 13: Upgrade Module (2)
Reputation Rank 16: Trials Weapon (Changes for each rank reset)
Flawless Reward: Aisha’s Embrace (Adept)
Reputation System, Trials Engrams, and Adept Farming
Win individual rounds within each match to gain trials reputation. The amount of reputation you gain increases with each round you’ve won on your card. Earn enough reputation, and you’ll be able to claim a Trials Engram from Saint-14! This engram can be focused into any currently available trials loot you have previously obtained, or it can be taken to Master Rahool for a random Trials drop. Your reputation increases after every match completion, based on the number of round-wins on your card, regardless of the result of that match itself (win or lose, 0-5 or 5-4).
Once you have gone flawless, keep playing! Every win on your still-flawless card will give you a chance at bonus, additional post-match drops of the Adept weapon for that week. Once you lose a game, you will no longer get these adept drops. However, still winning games at 7 wins even on a non-flawless can drop bonus trials engrams, prisms, and even ascendant shards.
When you’re done, you can cash in your 7-win passage for one additional adept drop, granted you have gone flawless that week. This resets your card so you can start anew.

Flying Wild Hog has release the Trek to Yomi update 1.06 (PS5 version 1.006) patch today, and this one addresses a ton of issues with a bunch of changes and fixes! Check out the full Trek to Yomi May 20 update patch notes below.
Trek to Yomi Update 1.06 Patch Notes | Trek to Yomi Update 1.006 Patch Notes | Trek to Yomi May 20 Update Patch Notes:
Full Patch notes
Fixed a rare bug with saves where the player was losing his progression
Fixed bug with the wrong scale and player spawn in sequence at Chapter 7
Fixed Sanjuro`s weapon hitbox
Fixed Spearman encounter where AI attacks player during his introduction
Fixed animation of Aiko in Chapter 1 when her model occasionally slides
Fixed bridge animation in Chapter 5
Fixed walking on the destroyed bridge in Chapter 3
Fixed walking on the fence in Chapter 7
Fixed bugs related to Bo-Shurikens
Marksman and Archer can no longer perform a kick in the infinite loop
Various fixes of hint display across the whole game
Improvements to descriptions and localization polish
Improved stability of AI logic causing improper behavior or occasional crashes
Improved setup of a collision on characters
Removal of unwanted menu slider flickering
Removal of unwanted camera flickering
Added audio feedback for changing volume settings
Improved functionality of V-Sync option with different framerate caps
Various fixes for incorrect input recognition
Various crash fixes on different platforms
Fixed puzzles in Chapter 5 and Chapter 6
Thats it for this patch. Check out our review for Trek to Yomi here, where Sean writes, “This wouldn’t be as much of an issue if combat didn’t make up about 75% or more of the gameplay. There are some puzzle elements that show up midway but they aren’t very deep and aren’t all that often. There’s no platforming to speak of so the vast majority of the game is running across the screen (or up and down depending on the camera angle), fighting mostly the same enemies with the same sluggish combat and some puzzles. After a few hours it just became unending and the only thing pulling me through was the visuals. There are collectables to find by going off the critical path but without a New Game+ option, I can’t see anyone but the most diehard trophy/achievement hunters going through it again to find them all. Maybe in a future patch the controls will be improved to make them more responsive and fun, but as it stands, Trek to Yomi is a beautiful place to visit but not fun to play in.”
Following the official release date yesterday, miHoYo has now unveiled the Genshin Impact version 2.7 trailer, showing off the coming features for this highly anticipated update for the game. Check out the trailer below, as well as a list of the features players can expect once the update drops later this month.
The mysteries in the depths of The Chasm are complicated and bewildering, and people have gathered here for different purposes. The mountains and valleys stay silent while the visitors’ thoughts are in turmoil. Nevertheless, the path to finding answers is unclear. Where daylight falls, there are still things left to be done and wishes to be fulfilled.
Besides the trailer, here are the coming features for Genshin Impact version 2.7:
New Archon Quest in The Chasm unveiling Liyue and yakshas’ history 500 years ago
Yelan, the new five-star Hydro archer, and Kuki Shinobu, a four-star Electro support
Drumalong rhythm game hosted by the Arataki Gang
Xiao and Arataki Itto up for reruns
Genshin Impact version 2.7 is releasing on PlayStation, PC and mobile devices this May 31. Stay tuned here at MP1st for more details once the new update finally comes out!
Today at 12:00 PM UTC we’ll release Hotfix 4.1.1 for PC to address several issues that we noticed after the release of Update 4.1.
The full set of changes for this Hotfix is listed below:
Fixed an issue causing micro-stuttering on PC
Made a temporary change to Breakthrough to remove 128 player version map layouts on Xbox Series X|S, PC and PlayStation 5 used on our new Breakthrough 64 player playlist
This is to address an unexpected issue which was causing for incorrect ticket values and vehicle counts to appear across all maps. We will temporarily return to a fixed rotation of smaller layouts across Breakthrough until our team can resolve this issue.
That’s it for the patch. Stay tune here at MP1st for further updates to these issues, if any more should start to arise!
In a recent exclusive interview, it appears that Norman Reedus has inadvertently confirmed Death Stranding 2, and that it is currently in development. An earlier report months ago revealed that the sequel is currently in negotiations, but now it appears that the game is all but confirmed. While the interview isn’t exactly regarding video games exclusively, Norman Reedus did share more about his current projects which brought up Hideo Kojima’s upcoming sequel.
The interview comes from Leo Edit, and you can check out the transcript below:
Q: Okay, so you got the book going on, you’ve got the final season coming out, then the spinoff, and you’re filming Death Stranding, the video game.
NR: We just started the second one.
There you have it. The rest of the interview goes mostly the way of Reedus’ other projects, but fans will be glad to know that Death Stranding 2 is indeed in development. By the looks of things, it looks like development is just being started on, which is interesting to say the least. Acording to recent reports, Kojima Productions is currently undertaking two different projects, and if the Death Stranding sequel is one of them, it will be interesting to speculate what the other is.
In the meantime, you can read more about Kojima Productions’ two future projects here.
Epic Games has released Fortnite update 3.57, and this is a stability patch more than anything else, which should be expected given we just got the big v20.40 patch earlier this week. Read on for the Fortnite May 20 patch notes below.
Here’s Epic Games’ announcement regarding the patch:
We've released a maintenance patch for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and Android devices to address stability issues. The patch will be downloaded the next time you launch the game. pic.twitter.com/9jBWcLtJm1
We’ve released a maintenance patch for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and Android devices to address stability issues. The patch will be downloaded the next time you launch the game.
That’s about it. If there are gameplay-related changes mentioned by Epic, we’ll update the post. Same as always, if you spot anything that got changed via this patch, leave a comment below and let us know.
Media Molecule has released the Dreams update 2.46 patch today on May 20. This is an update to fix the Convert to Painting option in the game. There is also more info posted for Tooltips. You can check out the full patch notes posted down below.
We’re at it again with a swift hotfix (swiftfix?) for a bug raised to us after the release of 2.44, regarding the newly-released Convert to Painting option. This fix does change the flow of using this tool, which we’ll detail below. It shouldn’t prevent you from taking full advantage of its benefits, though!
Fixes
Convert to Painting credits bug: We’ve fixed an issue that caused credits to be lost when using Convert to Painting in a small selection of use cases. The option still operates as intended, preserving credits, but you now cannot convert sculptures from more than one element at the same time.
Merge Paintings change: To avoid the same issue of creator credit being lost, Merge Paintings has also been amended to restrict paintings from different elements being merged together.
Other Improvements
More Info Tooltips: These have been updated for both of the affected tools to better reflect their use.
That’s it for the patch notes. Dreams is out now for the PS4 console.
San Diego Studio has released MLB The Show 22 update 1.06 (PS5 version 1.006), which is tagged as called Game Update 6 by the studio.

GENERAL GAMEPLAY
Hitters will have slightly less foul ball coverage, resulting in more swing and misses.
Fixed a freeze that could occur on foul tips that bounced near the catcher.

Wind has been turned off in Online Rated games.
Fixed an issue that would cause the “Can’t Pitch” icon to become stuck on screen.
On balls hit in the air where runners stop to see if it is landing or getting caught, instead of going back to the previous base, runners will advance ONE base when the ball is clearly not going to be caught by the outfielder.

Earlier today, DICE rolled out the Battlefield 2042 May patch called Update 4.1. While the patch housed quite a large number of tweaks and improvements, it also seems to have brought with it, a few issues as well, with one of them being a Battlefield 2042 PC stuttering problem that a lot of players have reported on.
DICE has acknowledged the Battlefield 2042 stutter issues for PC, and has also confirmed that it has appeared alongside patch 4.1!
Our teams are investigating an issue which has appeared alongside the release of Update 4.1 today #Battlefield
The issue is causing instances of micro-stutters on PC at irregular intervals
We will update this thread with more information as we complete our investigations pic.twitter.com/QozedfHc0C
— Battlefield Comms (@BattlefieldComm) May 19, 2022
Lead Community Manager Adam Freeman has mentioned that they don’t believe the issue is related to shader caching, and that they will be running tests overnight and expect news to be shared tomorrow on the steps to fix it.
Apologies to those looking to play tonight who will run into the issue – it’s not something that appeared in our testing but should be something that we will be able to better protect against in the future.
If that’s not enough of a hassle, in patch 4.1, DICE changed All-Out Warfare’s (AOW) 128-player Breakthrough matches to just 64 players, which DICE says offers a “more tactical experience.” Unfortunately, the ticket counts are not updating as intended in matches as intended, and the studio are investigating it.
In Update 4.1, we had introduced both 128P and 64P layouts into a mix for Breakthrough 64, and have since identified that ticket counts are not updating as intended.
We are investigating this and will update this thread with more information as we complete our investigations. pic.twitter.com/E3NrwdYN9Z
— Battlefield Comms (@BattlefieldComm) May 19, 2022
Hopefully, all these issues that stemmed from patch 4.1 are resolved ASAP. As for the next title update, DICE has confirmed that it will coincide with the launch of Season 1, which is currently set for “early June.”
Have you encountered other issues that stemmed from patch 4.1? If so, leave a comment below, or send us an email (tips@mp1st.com) and we’ll investigate it.
Another year, another Call of Duty leak! In what seems an annual thing by now, footage for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has leaked! Unfortunately, same as with almost every leak for Call of Duty, it’s pretty blurry, and doesn’t even show us much. This Modern Warfare 2 leak shows us the gun inspect feature which is confirmed here will be returning in Modern Warfare 2.
The footage was first shared by Twitter user “Marcus,” but has been pulled by Activision:
Fortunately, someone from Reddit posted the clip on Streamable!
Over on the (classic) Modern Warfare 2 subreddit, user tom_606 posted an “upscaled” version of the leaked clip, though it looks way worse if you ask me.
Chances are, these clips will be taken down too, so watch them while you can, though I admit, there’s nothing substantial from it other than confirming that we’ll see gun inspect come back. If the previous years are anything to go by, this won’t be the last Call of Duty leak, so expect more stuff to surface online soon!
Outside of the official logo and teaser, Activision has remained mum on Modern Warfare 2 (Modern Warfare II?) so far. Chances are high that we’ll see a proper reveal this month or next, and that Call of Duty Warzone will be a huge part of it.
Gearbox Software has released Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands update 1.06 (PS5 version 1.006), which the devs tag as version 1.0.3.0A. This title update adds new Vending Machines to the Loot Room at the end of the Chaos Chamber, alongside other improvements, and even changes per feedback from the community! Read on for the Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands May 19 patch notes.
Update: For those affected by the story progression bug that surfaced from patch 1.0.3.0a, Gearbox has released a new patch for it, which you can read about here.
There are two methods which we deliver updates to players: One will be the weekly changes that will cover smaller adjustments, and the other will be downloadable updates to the game that will include more impactful bug fixes and changes.
Added special Vending Machines to the Loot Room at the end of the Chaos Chamber; each machine has a Legendary of the week for sale that will change every Thursday by 9:00 AM PT.
Mission reward gear is now more likely to show up in standard vending machines
Throwable Hole can now drop with enchantments and can be enchanted at the Re-Roller
Many Mission rewards can now drop as enchanted and can be enchanted at the Re-Roller
The Mushroom Healer has completed their mushroom trials and has been found worthy of a name: Mike, which is an okay name for a mushroom
In addition to this support, some changes have been made that we wanted to give special mention to based on feedback from the community:
Fixed various reported rare crashes, including those related to:
Occasional crash that would occur when switching between display modes
Using the “Randomize Character” button in the Character Creator multiple times quickly
Switching to the Mail menu from the Social menu
[Console Only] Quickly switching between Control Menu tabs in split-screen
[Xbox Only] Activation timeouts
Addressed the following reported concerns:
“Storm Surge” would not drop from the world loot pool. It was dedicated drop only before this change
Thread of Fate spell would not properly heal Fatemakers while doing Dark Magic damage
Counterfeint would occasionally allow players to not be targeted by enemies for longer than intended
Achievements were not being consistently awarded for “Walk the Stalk”, “The Trial of Crooked-Eyed Phil”, “The Ditcher”, and “Completionist is next to Godliness”
Achievements were not being consistently awarded for level milestones
Potential blocker could occur when saving/loading during “Thy Bard with a Vengeance”
Mobly Dick’s mission item would occasionally fall out of bounds
Prevented a drawbridge in Brighthoof from closing after Valentine had gone through the effort of seducing it open.
Prevented a progression blocker during “Walk the Stalk” if a Fatemaker doesn’t pick up the Punchfather
Barrel would occasionally disappear for some Fatemakers during “Break Ingredient X Barrel”
Added an enemy scalar for Chaos Chamber to increase the number of enemies that appear in co-op
Chaos Trial would not automatically update level
Endless Dungeon altars would occasionally subtract crystals from players for ammo and health altars in co-op that did not use them
Some instances where Fatemakers would not save as expected and would revert to a previous state
Instances of items duplicating unintentionally
Prevented players from unintentionally deleting characters
Issues related to reporting players in the Roster menu
Fatemakers that joined a game during the Table introduction still had their HUD visible
Various UI adjustments and improvements
Various sound effect adjustments
Various telemetry improvements
Various audio changes and adjustments
Various performance and stability improvements
[PlayStation®5 Only] Added Variable Refresh Rate support for PlayStation®5
[DLC] Fatemakers would occasionally appear at the incorrect entrance in Dreamveil Overlook
[DLC] Fatemakers would be able to enter a portal early and encounter a progression blocker
[DLC] Fatemakers would be sent to the incorrect store page when interacting with mirrors for the content they did not own
[DLC] Fatemakers that did not own the DLC content would be unable to consistently join a Faktemaker that did
[DLC] A progression blocker could occur when fighting “Best Chums”
…and more!
Class Adjustments:
Addressed the following class-specific reported concerns:
Brr-Zerkers would not stay enraged when multi-classed into Graveborn and using the “Reaper of Bones” action skill
Spore Warden‘s Mushroom pet would not clean up after itself after using its mushroom spore attack for all players
Clawbringer‘s Storm Smite would not properly switch between Fire and Shock damage. The splats on Storm Smite have been corrected to also match their expected visuals and damage type.
Graveborn‘s Faithful Thralls skill’s bonus’ could occasionally stack indefinitely
Graveborn’s kill skill “Harvest” could be unintentionally stacked indefinitely
Stabbomancer‘s “Follow Up” stacks would trigger unintentionally with the chain lightning effect on the Dahlia SM Live Wire
Enchantments – Spore Warden:
Adjusted a Spore Warden Enchantment from receiving a chance for an explosion on Gun and Ability damage to having the chance only with Gun Damage. We found that the bonuses had unintended damage scaling when combined with other abilities.
Brr-Zerker:
Blast Chill and Blast Gasp (for Graveborn) could overlap and scale damage out of the anticipated range in the end game when combined with other damage scaling. The changes below here are focused on making Melee Attacks a bit more powerful during the mid-game and in Chaos Chamber.
Blast Chill has been adjusted to award a chance to release a Nova on Melee Attacks, instead of on all Melee Damage sources.
Savagery has been increased to doing 6% per point of Melee Damage
Damage received from attacks when close to enemies while using The Old Ways had been reduced to 40%
Iron Squall Melee Attack speed has been increased to 4% per point in the skill
Spore Warden:
Wrath of Nature has been adjusted to do 10% increased damage per point in the skill
Increased Affinity’s Ability Damage to award 9% per point to give additional power in the early game
Increased Bullseye’s Critical Hit Chance to 12% per point
Clawbringer:
Changed Cleaning Flame Action skill to do Fire Melee Damage instead of just Melee Damage
Increased Awe’s Critical Hit Chance to 13% per point
Increased Awe’s Critical Hit Damage to 7% per point
Increased Dedication Action Skill Cooldown Rate with Max Ward to 6%
Increased Dragon Aura Elemental Damage to 5% per point
Increased Rebuke Damage Reduction to 4% per point
Increased Oath of Thunder Bonus Melee Damage to 6% per point
Increased Fire Bolt Gun Damage to 10% per point
Increased Storm Breath Damage Reduction to 15% per point
Graveborn:
Adjusted Blast Gasp Ability Damage to 7% per point to compensate for additional bug fixes to the skill
Increased Harvest Bonus Dark Magic to 5% per point. This brings the bonus Magic Damage up to 30% total at max stacks.
Increased Stain of the Soul to deal 5% bonus Dark Magic Damage per point
Stabbomancer:
Increased Ethereal Blade Melee Damage to do 150% of your Melee Weapon
Adjusted Double Knot to do 4% bonus Gun Damage on Spell Critical Hits
Weekly Rotations:
Weekly Event! This in-game, limited-time mini-event will be active from May 19 to June 2 at 9:00 AM PT.
Activated the In-Game Mini Event: Armor Up!
Increases the chance for armor to drop and the chance for the class mods to be for your current character.
Note: Due to classes being distributed between Light, Medium, and Heavy armor types, Fatemakers are still likely to find plenty of armor that fits other classes at average a rate of 1 out of 3. For best results, pair up with friends that match your class/subclass!
The Chaos Chamber’s Featured Run has been updated! All aboard the chaos train, but be warned, this train doesn’t stop! At least, not for a while. The Leaderboard has been reset. Will you top the charts this week?
Featured Runs are available in the Chaos Chamber after you’ve completed the main story, and rotate weekly every Thursday at 9:00 AM PT. They’re the same for all players, so jump in and see how your run went compared to other Fatemakers!
This run features Oculus and Mushroom Monster. We’ll let you figure out who the two bosses are this week! Get ready to take on a new extended run in the Chaos Chamber!
Change Notes:
We have adjusted the Wheel of Fate to drop more items along with Moon Orbs and Gold.
Removed redundant quest markers for “The Slayer of Vorcanar”
Removed the damage scaling increase from Hawkin’s Wrath from the May 5 Hotfix. This had to be removed to address a crash that we saw impacting Xbox players. We will be investigating how to properly address this in a future patch.
Frost Weapon Adjustments:
Frost does damage over time, but we found some Frost-only guns, like Liquid Cooling, that were mistakenly balanced as if that was not the case. We will be adjusting those weapons upwards so that they still roughly deal the same damage. Queen’s Cry specifically was mistakenly nerfed because elemental damage was included, but not during balancing. It is having its damage increased to compensate for that mistake. We are intending to adjust Fragment Rain in a later hotfix after we take a look at the SMG balance for Chaos Chamber.
Adjusted Frost damage scaling for guns by -5.9%
Liquid Cooling’s damage scaling increased by +7.8%
Just last month, CD Projekt RED mentioned that the Witcher 3: Wild Hunt next-gen versions are delayed “until further notice,” which sounded a bit worrying if I’m being honest. Thankfully, the game’s free next-gen upgrade is dropping soon-ish, as The Witcher 3 next-gen release is now set for Q4 of 2022!
This is definitely good news — especially for those who still haven’t played the game. As someone who spent well over 70+ hours on the game, I can safely say that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is one of the best gaming experiences I’ve ever had. I gather, a ton of critics agree as well, since it’s sitting at a very impressive 92 rating on Metacritic.
Once we know the specific day, and what else is coming for the free next-gen upgrade, we’ll let our readers know. Don’t forget, there is a new Witcher game in active development though we’re uncertain whether Geralt will be coming back.
TT Games has released the LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga update 1.05 (PS5 version 1.000.005) patch that adds new encounters, fixes bugs in specific episodes and more! Check out the LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga May 19 patch notes below.
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga Update 1.05 Patch Notes | LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga Update 1.000.005 Patch Notes | LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga May 19 Patch Notes:
Numerous fixes to overall stability, quality and performance throughout the title, including fixes for:
• Issue in Episode 7 where in certain situations Maz would not be present on Takodana to continue Story mission ‘Friends of the Resistance’.
• Issue in Episode 3 where in certain situations the level trigger for ‘The High Ground’ could fail to appear.
• Issue in ‘Green Harvest’ freeplay mission where under certain criteria the camera would be stuck on Tatooine indefinitely.
Implemented 4 new Capital Ship encounters in Local Space adding 34 additional Kyber Bricks to collect:
o Fulminatrix

o Venator
That’s about it. If TT Games releases additional info regarding today’s patch, we’ll update the post to reflect it. In other The Skywalker Saga news, new DLC packs are headed to the game, which was announced on Star Wars Day!

In order to cater to a wider audience across different kinds of players, Sony Santa Monica has unveiled the accessibility features that will be available in God of War Ragnarok, with a total of 60+ customizable options for players to tinker with. Whether you’re having trouble dealing with motion blur, or you want high-contrast colors to better identify the characters on screen, here’s a rundown of all the availble features that you can customize.
God of War Ragnarok Accessibility Features:
God of War (2018) PC Features – Added to God of War Ragnarök
For God of War (2018) on PC, we made sure to improve and continue to iterate on popular features from the initial PlayStation release. We’re pleased to be continuing to support these features in God of War Ragnarök on PS4 and PS5:
Sprint Auto Sprint: You will sprint while the stick is held and stop when released. When Auto Sprint is active, you can begin sprinting by pressing the move stick forward for a short period of time in one direction. The duration required to engage the Auto Sprint is configurable by you.
Persistent Dot (Always on Reticle): If you need additional focal points to reduce motion sickness, or just want a persistent reminder of the center of the screen, we offer the ability to turn on a center dot in three different sizes and seven different colors.
Aim Style: You can choose to use either hold or toggle on/off the aim stance.
Block Style: You can choose to use either hold or toggle on/off the shield stance.
New to God of War Ragnarök
Subtitle and Caption Improvements
We have invested heavily in improving our subtitle and caption system to allow for even more customization and information.
Subtitle and Caption Size: We have increased our minimum text size and added new scaling. This includes an extra-large text size to make subtitles and captions more readable. We have also dedicated a larger text area to match TV and movie subtitle standards.
Subtitle and Caption Colors: You can adjust the colors of speaker names, subtitle body, and captions individually. You will be able choose between seven different colors.
Speaker Names (Retained options from 2018): As in God of War (2018), you can show or hide speaker names. You can set this size independent from the UI text size.
Captions: With expanded sound effects captions, we’ve added several new ways to understand in-game sound. We’ve added captions to both cinematics and gameplay to provide a rich understanding of the soundscape of the world. You can also enable captions for critical gameplay information to assist with puzzles and narrative understanding.
Subtitle and Caption Background Blur: We’ve included options to allow for blurring the background behind subtitles and captions to make them more readable over complex scenes.
Subtitle Background (Retained options from 2018): In addition to blur, we’ve included options to darken the background behind subtitles for better readability on snow. High contrast backing includes multiple opacity settings for you to select from.
Direction Indicator: Critical gameplay sounds now have an optional direction indicator which shows the direction a sound is coming from. To assist with puzzles that have sound cues, this indicator will help you orient towards the source of an important sound.
Text Size / Icon Size
The highly requested feature from God of War (2018) is back and better than ever! You asked for a comfortable reading experience when playing from a couch, so we listened. With a fully re-engineered and responsive UI, and a larger minimum text size that can scale significantly, reading on-screen text is easier than ever.
Here’s a look at our Default and XX-Large game wide UI Text scaling for reference.
Top: Default UI Text Size, Bottom: XX-Large UI Text Size
We also have two examples to share of the in-game icon scaling with smallest and largest options available to choose from.
Left: Small UI Icon Size, Right: X-Large UI Icon Size
Controller Remapping
We have rebuilt our controller remapping system to allow you to customize your button configurations in God of War Ragnarök. There will be a wide range of preset layouts, as well as custom controller remapping support. Individual buttons can be swapped and, for select complex actions, you can choose alternate configurations from a preset list.
We offer multiple ways for you to customize your experience for certain actions that require more than one button, including Touch Pad Shortcuts for things like Spartan Rage, Navigation Assist, and Quick Turn.
High Contrast Mode
Our new high contrast color-mode allows you to apply a color to objects in-game like targets, enemies, and other characters, in addition to a variety of item types. When active, this will apply a color layer to characters that will make them more visible against the background. You can optionally desaturate the background to further increase the contrast. Traversal paint, loot items, and special effects can also be made more visible in this mode.
High Contrast Activation Customization: Select off, on, or always on for gameplay only (this will exclude cinematics). High contrast mode can be set to toggle on and off from a swipe for easy access. This mode will automatically disable when in a settings menu or character menu.
High Contrast Color Customization: Select a color palette that fits your playstyle and adjust individual colors for characters, enemies, and items.
High Contrast Background Customization: Separately select mid-tone or darkened background contrast levels.
Navigation Assist: New to God of War, this camera navigation system allows you to orient your view towards your compass objective. When not in combat, pressing the Navigation Assist button will orient your view in the direction of the next story goal.
Traversal Assistance: Gap jumping, vaulting, mantling, and other traversal features can now be automated based on the direction you press.
Assistance +: Adds interaction-based moves like climbs, crawls, and squeeze-through.
Audio Cues: We have linked a sound cue to each of the on-screen interact prompts, so that when using this feature, you can hear when an interact icon is nearby, as well as when the button prompt becomes active.
Audio cues extend to additional combat cues like unblockable attack rings, targeting aim cues, and weapon swap cues. The volume of audio cues can be adjusted separately from other volume sliders, so you can adjust for your own comfort.

To celebrate Global Accessibility Awareness Day, we also wanted to provide an audio described version of the God of War Ragnarök reveal trailer that came out last year!*
The studio also teased more to come in the future for the game, including combat/aim assists, puzzle/minigame assists, HUD adjustments, camera tuning, auto pick up, and much more. Stay tuned here at MP1st for details on these once they’re out!
