After the massive balance patch last week, Arrowhead Game Studios has pushed out another big patch today, that not includes improvements, balance changes to enemies, stratagems and even quality of life features! Check out what’s new in the Helldivers 2 update 1.000.402 patch notes available now for both PC and PS5!

Helldivers 2 Update 1.000.402 Patch Notes for June 18:

Overview

For this patch, some of the major areas of interest are

  • Visible Supply Lines & Attack Origins in the Galactic War.
  • Stratagem, weapon, planet, and enemy balancing updates.
  • Various crash fixes, stability improvements, and other updates.
  • Invite-only lobby creation.
    • The right most option in the Lobby settings. Currently only localized in English. Additional languages coming in the next patch

Balancing

Goal with stratagem balance changes this patch: With these balance changes we wanted to buff up some of the weaker stratagems to make them more viable and add more possibility for variety in the loadouts. We also changed a few to make them more consistent, but the goal was to keep a similar or higher power level. We are looking into the stratagems more to see if there are any other stratagems that might need some buffs or changes to make them more viable. We also want to be better at explaining what our goals are with the changes, please see the linked blog post for more information.

  • Improved targeting
  • Increased projectile armor penetration (now does 100% damage to heavily armored enemies instead of 50%)
  • Decreased projectile damage 600 to 250 (to compensate for the improved targeting and the extra damage from the increased armor penetration.)

Other

  • Updated Recoil stance modifiers: We made changes to the recoil stance modifiers to make them more consistent and also reward being prone more. Almost all of them will improve the recoil and only a two have been made worse (and only by 10%).

See the blogpost for a more detailed description.

Gameplay

  • Removed operation modifier AA-Defenses: Reducing the stratagem slots by 1
    • We want to look over the operation modifiers in the future. Right now there are too few of them which become repetitive and the ones we have do not create variety or promote different playstyles. For now, we removed this one because it only encourages the players to bring the best stratagems and does not promote variety.
  • Disabled the Retrieve Essential Personnel defend event mission for the time being
    • This is to give the mission the proper attention and care that it deserves as it is now deemed not fun enough or performing as we want it to.
  • Super Samples
    • Super samples now spawn on difficulty 6. The reason for this change is that we feel that their existence only on difficulty 7+ forced some players to play the game on a harder difficulty than they wanted to comfortably play on. We do however still want a gating of them but a less punishing one.
  • The SEAF Artillery stratagem is no longer blocked by stratagem jammers or Ion Storms, and is available after the mission timer ends and the destroyer leaves close orbit.
  • Enemies in melee range of the gates in the Evacuate High-Value Assets mission will now attack it more consistently.
  • Added the ability to chat from in-game menus and mission loading screen.
  • Updated some first person crosshairs to improve readability.

Social

  • Invite-Only lobbies are now supported

Armors

  • New armor passive Peak Physique (+50% melee damage, +30% weapon ergonomics)

Planets & Hazards

  • Spike Plant
    • The spike plant that appears on certain planets has been reworked.
    • No longer causes bleed or stamina drain if hit by the plant explosion or spikes.
    • Now “pops” three times sending spikes everywhere, dealing increased damage.
  • Fire Tornados
    • Fire tornados have had their behavior changed, they should no longer feel like they actively respond to player movement, and should move more randomly.
    • While a fire tornado storm takes place, enemy vision is reduced. Player vision is unaffected.
    • Fire tornados being more random should result in more variance in situations players find themselves in. Tornados are significantly less likely to pile up and overlap on extraction points or objectives, and will generally be a bit easier to deal with.
  • Tremors
    • Tremors have had their spawning tweaked to be slightly more random.
    • Tremors have had their epicenter size and effect range increased.
    • These changes should result in more situations where enemies away from the player get stunned, as well as reducing how consistently the player has a tremor occur next to them.
  • Visibility
    • A lot of planets have had their fog amounts tweaked to be a bit less harsh and dense, to provide less fatigue from constantly fighting on planets with bad visibility. We still intend there to be foggy planets with worse visibility, but the balance was a bit off.
    • Desert planets such as Erata Prime, Chort Bay, Hellmire, and similar.
    • Highlands planets such as Varylia 5, Matar Bay, Oshaune, and similar.
    • Artificial light sources have had their intensity rebalanced and reduced across the board to fix situations of lights completely blinding the player.
  • Unexploded Hellbomb
    • The unexploded malfunctioning hellbombs that can sometimes be found on planets will now explode immediately if hit with strong explosions or heavy weaponry. They will still have the same delay if hit by small arms fire or weaker attacks.
  • Vegetation
    • Vegetation that’s large enough to slow the player now has an extra function. When inside the vegetation helldivers will be harder to detect, reducing their detection range by enemies. This effect stacks with other detection reducing effects such as nighttime, being crouched or prone, or things such as the scout armor passive.
  • Ion Storms
    • Added additional VFX for Ion Storms.

Enemies

  • Acid effect
    • The acid effect applied by hunters, bug mines, etc. now allows you to sprint while under the effect and slows you by 30% instead of 50%. Duration has been increased from 3 to 4 seconds. These changes are intended to make it less punishing for players to be slowed while fighting the Terminids, This allows us to use it in more places without making the experience very punishing, for example the Bile Spewers.
  • Armored enemy balance
    • We have toned down the amount of heavily armored enemies like Bile Titans, Chargers on higher difficulties and instead spawn more hordes of smaller enemies, the difference should be quite noticeable and the amount should be at least 30% less than before during bug breaches. We have also toned down slightly how many Hulks that spawn for the Automatons. Our intent is to ease up on the demand of anti-tank weapons and by having more of the other enemies give a better incentive for the group to bring stratagems and weapons that take care of hordes.
  • Patrols
    • Patrol spawning is now back to how it worked before patch 01.000.300 with some slight tweaks so that the levels are less empty if you are far away from important locations with enemy presence.
  • Stunning
    • Medium and large sized enemies now don’t get stunned as easily. This will not affect the stratagems that stun, and will mostly just affect how easily the Pummeler can stun larger enemies.

Terminids

  • Bile Spewers & Nursing Spewers
    • Spewers will now get slowed if they lose their legs.
    • Spewer puke now applies the acid effect.
    • Spewer puke now can only damage helldivers up to 4 times per second and the helldiver cannot take damage multiple times from the same projectile. This should reduce instances where you are instantly killed by it.
  • Bile Titan
    • The Bile Titan’s head is slightly less durable against weaker anti-tank weapons. It’s not a large change, and will mostly matter for weapons like the railgun.

The Bile Titan’s puke can now only damage the helldiver 4 times per second and the helldiver cannot take damage multiple times from the same projectile. The damage is still very deadly so running through their puke is not recommended. Their puke now also has a bigger spread.

  • Charger Behemoth

The Charger Behemoth is now joining the battle on higher difficulties, it can now also take more damage than before. This enables us to spawn fewer chargers but still retain the difficulty.

  • Chargers
    • Will now only show bleedout effects from the body if the bleedout state has started. It can still show bleedout effects from the mouth without having started the bleedout state.

Automatons

  • Hulk Scorcher
    • The Hulk’s flamethrower now does less damage and cannot damage helldivers more than 4 times per second. In addition, the helldiver cannot be damaged multiple times by the same flame projectile. This should reduce instances where you are instantly killed by it.
  • Automaton Tanks
    • The Tank armor value on the front has been lowered to be the same as the non-vent sections on the rear of the tank. The intent was initially that it was supposed to be more armored in the front, but the visual language did not show that.
    • The vents on the back of the Tanks turret still has the same armor value as before, but will check for explosion directions correctly now.
  • The damage of exploding automaton jump packs has been decreased by 50%, it will still set you on fire though.

Galactic War

Introducing Warp Links (Supply Lines & Origin of Attacks):

Supply lines were previously not shown on the Galactic War map to reduce clutter and improve readability. However based on the feedback from our community we have made an implementation showing them on the map. This solution tries to maintain the general readability while still exposing the system to players in game.

You will now also be able to see which planet an attack is originating from, potentially allowing for the community to stop the attack at its source.

We have also updated visuals in the sector and planet info pop-ups.

Fixes

  • The FAF-14 Spear targeting has been reworked and should now function much better. However it has lost the ability to target Automaton spawners, this is not intended and will be fixed in the future.
  • Intense Heat and Extreme Cold environmental modifiers will now affect the Quasar Cannon’s reload speed and will show correctly in the HUD.
    • Reload speed on Cold planets -2.5 sec
    • Reload speed on Hot planets +2.5 sec
  • The radar pulse that detects enemies on the mini-map is now visible.
  • Most of Automatons weapons have now gotten tighter limits to how much the projectile they shoot can deviate from its weapons muzzle angle. What this means is that situations where devastators shoot sideways and similar should be fixed.
  • The weapons of the Exosuits are now allowed small adjustments in the angle they fire their projectiles versus their muzzle angle. This should make their weapons more accurate.
  • Ballistic shield now collides with grenades.
  • The unblock button should no longer disappear from the social menu.
  • Blocked players can no longer join the blockers lobby through recent players.
  • Fixed a bug where enemies killed, missions played, and missions completed stats would not be properly displayed in armory.
  • Fixed issue where the player can throw an unlimited amount of grenades by pressing the “Quick grenade” button right after closing the Stratagem menu.
    • Helldiver now also switches to the last active weapon when out of grenades, fixing the issue where they would be holding a stratagem ball without the stratagem menu being open.
  • Fixed some text overlap in various locations.
  • The burning effect applied to the player when a combat walker dies is now a normal burn. The intent is that you should be able to escape it alive. But you will be on fire so hit the ground!
  • The extraction shuttle can no longer take damage preventing extraction. New high grade materials directly from Super Earth R&D have been utilized.
  • On PC you can now navigate the super credits menu with “WASD” keys
  • Fixed an issue where sample count in missions were incorrectly displayed
  • Levels no longer generate with blocked areas preventing player progression.
  • Your Ships bridge is no longer cast in perpetual shadow.
  • Reduced situations where blue stratagems would bounce when placed next to the detector tower.
  • The warbond menu now displays correct emote & victory poses in the thumbnail.
  • War Medals cap is now displayed in the UI.
  • Fixed a bug where the Helldivers armor could appear invisible for other players.
  • Refined player reporting UI.
  • Fixed issue where Helldivers could be launched into the air if close to a Bile Titan or Factory Strider corpse.
  • Fix for Factory Strider sometimes spawned an extra model after being destroyed.
  • Reduced situations where helldivers could spontaneously die while walking into seemingly walkable valleys on some planets.
  • Fixed rare issue on arctic planets where players could spontaneously die close to large bodies of water.
  • Fixed Pelican-1 sometimes leaving immediately after any player gets onboard.
  • Fixed bug where helldiver could get stuck in grenade idle state after throwing grenades
  • Fixed Superior Packing Methodology not working for other peers.
  • Recent Players list will now include hot-joining players.
  • Relaxed disconnection policy for PC users.
  • Fixed an issue where previous sessions’ player names might not be saved correctly when restarting.
  • Defend event attack origin now visualized when hovering the planet with the defend event or the attack origin planet.
  • Implemented outlines for previously poorly readable texts.

Crash Fixes

  • General crash fixes.
  • Fix for a crash that could occur when applying wounds to multiple enemies.
  • PlayStation Only: Fixed an issue that would sometimes cause a crash when switching between Quality and Performance mode.
  • Fix for a crash when a player leaves after all their railguns have exploded.
  • Fix for crash that could occur when rejoining a previous session
  • Fix for crash that occurred when trying to throw a snowball in ADS mode
  • Fix for potential crash when loadout is aborted during hotjoin.
  • Fix for rare crash linked to leaving a session while aiming a weapon.

In other Helldivers 2 news, the community rallied to “save the children” in the game instead of getting a new weapon, and Arrowhead responded by donating money to a children’s charity!

Battlefield 1 and Star Wars: Battlefront 2 Servers Pulled Down for Maintenance This June 18

  by   Alex Co  
4:55 am in News

For those playing era shooter Battlefield 1, and those trekking the world of Hoth while shooting stuff in Star Wars: Battlefront 2, you’ll need to take a short breather, as both games’ servers have been taken down this June 18, and this is for maintenance.

Battlefield 1 and Star Wars: Battlefront 2 Servers Schedule for June 18:

According to DICE, both games will have their servers taken down per the schedule below:

June 18 

Start: 9 am UTC/5 am EDT/2 am EDT/5 pm HKT

End: 13:00 UTC/9 am EDT/6 am EDT/9 pm HKT

Don’t expect any new content for both titles since this is your routine server maintenance.

While EA hasn’t officially announced the next Battlefield game, the company has hired ex-military personnel to work on it, which we reported on here. As for the Star Wars franchise, there’s no word on whether we’ll be getting Battlefront 3 (highly unlikely), but Ubisoft is set to deliver a new Star Wars adventure this coming August with Star Wars Outlaws, and so far, it’s looking pretty damn good.

If there are any changes to the maintenance window, we’ll be sure to update the article.

Sand Land Update 1.05 Slides Out on Consoles and PC

  by   Alex Co  
3:34 am in News

Bandai Namco has pushed out Sand Land update 1.05 (will appear on PS5 as version 1.005), and is an unannounced title update. It’s a small download that should aim to fix a few bugs affecting the game.

Sand Land Update 1.05 Patch Notes for June 18:

PS5 version 1.005.000

Bandai Namco has not listed any patch notes for this update yet, but several users on Reddit have listed some known bugs that they have noticed. See the list below.

By neocircus

Main quest bugged? Cardano ruins. Can’t go any further after flipping all the switches in the main room.

I got all the switches flipped and the water level raised enough to get to the room with the 3 large murals. But the quest marker is still stuck on the 3rd switch and I get blocked from going down the water slide/tunnel. I just bounce off an invisible wall.
By poliswag94

Army Flask Bug?

I’ve been reading online that the army flask doesn’t populate in game if you took the money from hect in “vow of family”. It’s not showing in my game and it’s literally the only thing keeping me from plat on PS5. Anyone know of a workaround?

We will update this post as soon as we can if Bandai Namco posts the official patch notes. Stay tuned for more news on the game.

Skull and Bones Update 1.000.010 Sails Out for Y1S2.1

CALL-FOR-HELP

  • Expanded fast travel locations to include events, plunders, and when responding to calls for help.
    • Players can now fast travel to events (e.g. Elite Warship, Bounties) from land or from sea, at a silver cost based on distance if they are not involved in combat, and are not participating in Helm opportunities, or other world activities like Helm Wager, Cutthroat Cargo, etc.
    • Players can fast travel to plunderable POIs when responding to a call-for-help initiated by another player at no silver cost.
    • Calls-for-Help: Players responding to a call-for-help initiated by another player can fast travel to the activity (e.g. World Event…) at no silver cost.

WEAPONS

  • Torpedoes are no longer destroyed when traveling through non-hostile minefields from a Springloader Buoy that is owned by yourself or another friendly (PVP-off) player.

CONTRACTS

  • Added alternative trigger condition for Main Contracts to increase accessibility to the following contracts:
    • “A Smuggler’s Way” – can also be triggered upon reaching Infamy Tier: Rover.
    • “A Covert Initiation” – can also be triggered upon reaching Infamy Tier: Buccaneer.
    • “The Horizon Beckons” – can also be triggered upon reaching Infamy Tier: Brigand.

BOUNTY CONTRACTS

  • Reduce the cooldown period of all Bounty Contracts to 30 minutes.
  • Expanded available locations for obtaining sea monster Bounty contracts.
    • “Anguish from the Abyss” can now be accepted from the Mysterious Rogue in The Oubliette outpost.
    • “Jaws of Retribution” can now be accepted from the Sea People Huntmaster in Lanitra outpost.
    • “Silent Death” can now be accepted from the Sea People Huntmaster in Lanitra outpost.

SHIPS

  • Added a new perk to the Dhow.
    • “Out of Sight” Perk: Reduce detection by ships bigger than the Dhow.
  • Increased manoeuvrability of small ships:
    • Increase speed of all small ships by up to 2 knots when sailing in favourable winds for at least 3 seconds.
    • Increase turn rate of all small ships when at full sail, half sail and when trimming.

SHIP UPGRADES

  • Updated following ship upgrades for small ships:
    • “Bow Upgrade” perk renamed to “Stations Upgrade”.
    • “Stations Upgrade”, “Gunport Upgrade” perks (at upgrade step 1) no longer provide 5% reload time reduction but will instead provide 25% extra damage and healing output bonus on broadsides.
    • “Big Guns”, “Heavy Arsenal” perks (at upgrade step 4) no longer provide 10% reload time reduction but will instead provide 50% extra damage and healing output bonus on broadsides.
      • Dev note: Enhanced small ship perks, making them more viable to offset the lack of gun ports particularly on the broadside.
  • Updated the ship upgrade menu to show the player-set ship name instead of the ship type.
    • Dev note: This makes it easier for players with multiple ships of the same model to locate a specific ship to upgrade.

DAMAGE MITIGATION REDUCTION

  • Damage Mitigation now stacks diminishingly instead of additively. This change reduces the overall damage mitigation, particularly at higher levels of stacking, ensuring a more balanced gameplay experience.
    • For example, by equipping these 2 items, Black Prince armour: 50% mitigation (when ship is at less than 33% health) + Iron Capstan furniture: 15% mitigation (when ship is anchored).
Original calculation New Calculation
50% + 15% = 65%
65% damage mitigated		 100% – (100%-50%) x (100%-15%) = 57.5%
57.5% damage mitigated
  • Dev note: We have identified an issue where damage mitigation stacking was excessively high due to its additive formula. This led to scenarios where mitigation reached impractical levels, trivializing content and reducing the intended challenge. We are planning to make several balance changes, but we have decided to accelerate this particular fix due to its significant impact on the game.

LOOT/ REWARDS

  • Players will no longer need to dock at a den to secure their Pieces of Eight obtained from Bronze, Silver and Gold Raider Caches.

WORLD EVENTS TIMER

  • Extended duration of Anguish from the Abyss, The Blighted Bastion, and Chorus of Havoc Elite Warships world events from 18 minutes to 30 minutes.

UI/UX

  • Added a tooltip in the Helm Overview menu to indicate when players own the maximum number of manufactories.
  • Added an Interface setting that controls the “Default Selection” in Journal.
    • Determines which objective is selected by default when opening the Journal.
      • Tracked (default): When opening the Journal, the tracked objective is selected.
      • Top: When opening the Journal, the first objective in the list is selected.
  • Added section in the tooltips to display possible rewards obtainable from a chest (displays up to 5 rewards from the list of potential rewards).
  • Updated Silver currency display in multiple menus to show values beyond 999999+.
  • Added details for when the next set of contracts in the subsequent episode are available.
  • Removed red indicator when viewing other equipment at the Vendors or at the Customization screen.
  • Darkened the sides of the main menu to increase contrast of Menu options and IGN article slots.

AUDIO

  • Added “Chorus of Havoc” background music in the Main Menu.

Diablo IV Update 1.051 for Season 4 Mid-Season Patch Rolled Out

  by   Alex Co  
2:50 pm in News

Blizzard Entertainment has pushed out Diablo IV update 1.051 on consoles and PC, and this is the Season 4 mid-season patch that brings in a host of balance changes and more. Read on for the complete list of changes in today’s new update for Diablo IV.

Diablo IV Update 1.051 Season 4 Mid-Season Patch Notes:

GAME UPDATES

Developer’s Note: We greatly appreciate everyone’s excitement since the launch of Season 4 and are very happy with the state of the game. The changes in this patch are aimed at buffing classes and builds that are not performing as well as their counterparts. We are also slightly reducing the difficulty of the Pit to ensure that most builds are able to get to Tier 60 to get their final tier of Masterworking materials.

BALANCE UPDATES

General

Healing Potions

  • Minor Healing Potion
    • Initial healing increased by 50%.
  • Light, and Moderate Healing Potions
    • Initial healing increased by 100%.
  • Strong, Greater, Major, and Superior Healing Potions
    • Initial healing increased by 200%.

Legendary Aspects

  • Aspect of the Protector
    • Barrier Cooldown reduced from 30 to 20 seconds.

Mythic Unique Items

  • Andariel’s Visage
    • Poison nova now spawns on the enemy instead of the player.
    • Poison nova damage increased by 50%.
  • Doombringer
    • Shadow explosion damage increased by 100%.
  • Ring of Starless Skies
    • Maximum stacks of Resource Cost Reduction and bonus Damage increased from 4 to 5.
    • This increases the maximum amount of Resource Cost Reduction and bonus Damage from 40%[x] to 50%[x].
  • Tyrael’s Might
    • Divine barrage damage increased by 100%.

Paragon

  • Stat requirements for non-main stats reduced from 90 to 60 per Paragon Board.

Developer’s Note: A classes main stat is the one that increases the damage of all of their skills. For example, Sorcerers main stat is Intelligence, so this change affects their Rare Paragon Nodes that have threshold bonuses for Dexterity and Willpower. The stat requirements to activate any Rare Node increases for each additional Paragon Board you progress through. Some of these nodes that require non-main stats were harder to activate than intended. This change makes it easier to activate these nodes, especially on later Paragon Boards.

We made this change alongside a reduction to the health of enemies in the Pit so players who are delving deep into the Pit aren’t heavily affected.

  • Fixed an issue Rapid Fire with Scoundrel’s Kiss equipped couldn’t properly hit close targets and could sometimes fire projectiles behind the player. This also increases the radius of the explosions by 25%.
  • Fixed an issue where Pets were being counted as minions in various cases.

Diablo 4 Update 1.52 for Version 1.4.3 Released, Patch Notes Listed

  by   Alex Co  
2:46 pm in News

Diablo 4 update 1.52 has been released by Blizzard Entertainment, and this is for the Season 4 mid-season patch! Called patch version 1.4.3, this brings balance changes to all classes, bug fixes and more. Read on for the complete patch notes for the Diablo 4 new update released this June 17.

Diablo 4 Update 1.52 Patch Notes for June 17:

GAME UPDATES

Developer’s Note: We greatly appreciate everyone’s excitement since the launch of Season 4 and are very happy with the state of the game. The changes in this patch are aimed at buffing classes and builds that are not performing as well as their counterparts. We are also slightly reducing the difficulty of the Pit to ensure that most builds are able to get to Tier 60 to get their final tier of Masterworking materials.

BALANCE UPDATES

General

Healing Potions

  • Minor Healing Potion
    • Initial healing increased by 50%.
  • Light, and Moderate Healing Potions
    • Initial healing increased by 100%.
  • Strong, Greater, Major, and Superior Healing Potions
    • Initial healing increased by 200%.

Legendary Aspects

  • Aspect of the Protector
    • Barrier Cooldown reduced from 30 to 20 seconds.

Mythic Unique Items

  • Andariel’s Visage
    • Poison nova now spawns on the enemy instead of the player.
    • Poison nova damage increased by 50%.
  • Doombringer
    • Shadow explosion damage increased by 100%.
  • Ring of Starless Skies
    • Maximum stacks of Resource Cost Reduction and bonus Damage increased from 4 to 5.
    • This increases the maximum amount of Resource Cost Reduction and bonus Damage from 40%[x] to 50%[x].
  • Tyrael’s Might
    • Divine barrage damage increased by 100%.

Paragon

  • Stat requirements for non-main stats reduced from 90 to 60 per Paragon Board.

Developer’s Note: A classes main stat is the one that increases the damage of all of their skills. For example, Sorcerers main stat is Intelligence, so this change affects their Rare Paragon Nodes that have threshold bonuses for Dexterity and Willpower. The stat requirements to activate any Rare Node increases for each additional Paragon Board you progress through. Some of these nodes that require non-main stats were harder to activate than intended. This change makes it easier to activate these nodes, especially on later Paragon Boards.

Lords of the Fallen Sequel to Be Published by Epic Games, Release Date Planned for 2026

  by   Alex Co  
11:28 am in News

With CI Games and HexWorks’ Lords of the Fallen reboot a bona fide hit, a sequel is sure to be guaranteed. Well, it seems today, CI Games has confirmed The Lords of the Sequel even without really announcing it due to its new deal with Epic Games.

It seems CI Games and Epic Games have signed a partnership deal where Epic will be the publisher of Lords of the Fallen 2 (codenamed Project 3)! The agreement, which was signed this June 14 mentions that CI Games will retain the rights to publish and distribute the game for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.

Read on for agreement as translated by Google (via financial Polish site bankier):

(“Epic”) pursuant to which the Company grants Epic the exclusive worldwide distribution rights to the sequel of the game “Lords of the Fallen” (working title: Project 3) (the “Game”) on the PC platform for the entire product life cycle (the “Binding Term Sheet”).

The rights to the Game and the Series, including all intellectual property rights (IP), as well as the rights to publish and distribute the Game worldwide on all other platforms, including the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S platforms for which the Game is currently in development, will remain with the Company. In other respects, the Binding Term Sheet provides for standard market terms.

The game is scheduled for release in 2026.

As you can see, the sequel is confirmed to be in development for current-gen platforms, and is targeting a 2026 release window.

Earlier this year, we published a report on the supposed sequel allegedly titled “Death of the Fallen” which also had the codename Project 3. It’s said to be in development by HexWorks once again, and run on Unreal Engine 5, and is said to be “built around more ambitious gameplay options for wider audience appeal.”

Since the LOTF sequel will be published by Epic Games, don’t expect it on Steam anytime soon.

We’ve reached out to CI Games about the story and will update the article if we hear anything back.

Lords of the Fallen was released back in October 2023, and has since gotten loads of game updates, new features and more. To date, it’s still getting bug fixes, improvements and even new content, which we’re hoping will be the same with its sequel.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard Transmog Confirmed, Side Quests All Handcrafted & Story Focused, Level Cap & More Revealed

  by   Alex Co  
June 16, 2024 5:23 pm in News

With Dragon Age: The Veilguard getting a 20-minute gameplay reveal and is set to be released later this year, it looks like developer BioWare is ready to crack the game wide open in terms of information after being silent for years. Case in point: we now know the player level cap for the game is set at 50, there will be a transmog system, and a ton of info regarding the game’s world, side quests, character customization, the RPG system and more!

Read on for the boatload of info shared by BioWare during a recent Discord Q&A! We’ve separated the info to different categories to make it an easier read.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard World and Story Info:

  • Takes place 10 years after Dragon Age: Inquisition
  • The Inquisitor will definitely be part of the story
  • You can go back to previous locations you visited, do side content, etc.
  • Side quests are all “handcrafted and story focused”
  • Everything is handcrafted, curated, “not fetch quests”
  • There is no progression block in Veilguard (unlike Inquisition, which had the power mechanic)
  • Locations can fundamentally change based on decisions you make
  • Rook’s last name in-game is defined by their lineage and backstory
  • Your origin story will come into play a lot during the course of the game, giving you opportunities to define who your Rook was and is; lots of dialogue options

Character Creator and Customization:

  • “Very, very deep,” heavy focus on hair, skin tones, full body customization, customize horns if you’re Qunari
  • You can improve and customize your gear, though it’s different than Inquisition
  • The team teased a “mysterious entity” that assists players with that (spoilers)
  • Transmog system confirmed

Companions and Party Info:

  • The team felt it made for a “much more intimate experience,” two companions gives them more visibility and focus, more spotlight
  • Gameplay: Timing and positioning matter a lot, felt like the right balance with Rook’s abilities, actively engages your companions more in combat
  • Most banter we’ve ever done”
  • There’s new interruptible and resumable banter so you don’t miss anything
  • Lots of moments where all the companions are interacting with each other
  • You can change companion outfits, “wider range of appearances”
  • The team is very proud of the companions, ‘deepest companion arcs they’ve ever done’, with ‘heavy’ decisions to make throughout the game
  • You can do things that anger your companions to where they could disappear for a time

Combat, Tactics and Abilities:

  • The game is “very tactical, increasingly important on higher difficulties”
  • Cycle between targets both in and out of combat
  • Pause also gives information on enemies (weaknesses, resistances)
  • Helps a lot to build your party to have ‘detonation synergies’, queue up combo detonations
  • Companions can be specc’ed to revive you if you get KO’d
  • Three-face button abilities each for Rook and each companion
  • The team emphasized “there’s so much more,” like an ultimate ability, multiple runes that you acquire that can do things like buffs and other things that act like abilities, etc.

Mages:

  • Healing spells return for mages
  • Mages: “Successors” to Fireball and Cone of Cold attacks are in the game
  • Mage Specializations: Necromancer, elemental, and a combat mage
  • On using blood magic: “This is spoilery, but let me just say Rook has some real good reasons to avoid blood magic”

General Game Info:

  1. Many accessibility features, will share closer to launch
  2. On DLCs: 100% focused on finishing the full game and make it the most ‘complete’ single player game they possibly can
  3. You can pet and hug Assan (the baby griffin)
  4. Tavern songs return. Tavern in Minrathous is called “The Swan”

In case you didn’t know, players will also have a base in the game called “The Lighthouse.” According to BioWare, the base will change and evolve over time, and players will be able to personalize it somewhat.

In addition to the info above, info about the skill trees, RPG systems have surfaced as well.

Skill Tree, RPG Systems:

  • Player cap at Level 50
  • Confirmed: Bellara is a mage
  • “Enormous” skill tree web that is bespoke for each class
  • Skill tree web is a bit similar to FFX’s Sphere Grid, players start in the center of it, and work outwards towards specializations they want
  • Example: Warriors can pump skill points into something more defense oriented, weapons oriented or abilities
  • Warrior Specializations: Reaper (can lifesteal, “freaky” powers), Slayer (“wield the biggest blades”), Champion (tank)
  • The origin you select at the start can net you bonuses like extra dialogue options or stat boosts (ex: Shadow Dragons deal extra damage to Venatori blood cultists)
  • Skills are unique per class, every level nets a skill point + other activities to get points
  • Each companion has 5 core abilities, each with their own skill trees that players can customize (lower cooldowns, add additional effects, etc)
  • Each companion also has unique abilities that are tied specifically to them (Neve has ice powers for example)
  • Elemental mechanics are very important (ice, fire, electricity, etc)
  • Where other RPGs might see players invest all their skill points to reach a specialization, the team wanted players here to reach specializations about mid-game, and “then you can really branch out”

BioWare’s Game Director Corinne Busche even compared The Veilguard to Mass Effect stating they view Mass Effect as an ARPG (action-RPG), big-action, minor RPG, and how The Veilguard is the “total inverse of that.”

In another info blowout, BioWare confirmed that Dragon Age: The Veilguard is a linear experience alongside other combat details, which you can read about here.

It looks like Dragon Age: The Veilguard will be a jam-packed RPG experience, and the wait won’t be that long now, as the game is set to be released this fall o PS5, Xbox Series X|S  and PC.

Returnal Beginning of a “New Future” at Housemarque, Is the Game That “Allowed” Studio to Join Sony

  by   Alex Co  
4:46 pm in News

While Housemarque has been around since 1995, it’s only back in 2021 when Sony acquired the studio to be part of PlayStation’s impressive stable of first-party developers. But did you know it’s because of Returnal why Housemarque was “allowed” to join Sony?

This was something shared by studio Creative Director Gregory Louden in a new video simply titled “Welcome to Housemarque,” where the dev also mentioned  how Returnal was the culmination of the studio’s past games, and marks the beginning of a “new future” at the studio.

I think the future of Housemarque is incredibly exciting.  I view Returnal as the culmination of Housemarque’s previous games, but also the beginning of a new future for Housemarque.

I think in a lot of ways there’s before Returnal and after Returnal, and Returnal is obviously the game that allowed us to join PlayStation Studios. They’ve supported us in every aspect, and also all the other PlayStation Studios have been so collaborative, welcoming, lots of knowledge sharing from both our side and from theirs.

Before Returnal, Housemarque launched Matterfall, Nex Machina, and Super Stardust  Ultra on PlayStation platforms. Returnal was released back in 2021 where it was received fairly well, and was the studio’s first third-person shooter that was as close to a AAA title the studio has produced so far.

While the studio’s “new future” (next game) isn’t known just yet, Sony has categorized it as a “single-player, narrative-driven focus” project. Hopefully, we’ll hear more about it soon.

Slitterhead Game Length to Be Around 15 Hours With Stages at 30 Minutes Each; No Side Missions Confirmed

  by   Alex Co  
2:29 pm in News

At Summer Game Fest, Bokeh Studios announced the release date for Slitterhead, the upcoming horror game from Silent Hill co-creator Keiichiro Toyama. For those wondering how long the game is, wonder no more, as the studio revealed the Slitterhead game length and more.

In an interview, Bokeh Studios founder Keiichiro Toyama was asked how long does it take to beat the game on average, and he mentioned, “Stages are about 30 minutes long. It should take players around 15 hours to see the credits roll. After that, you can enjoy the remaining challenges.”

That’s not a bad length for a horror game, right? Now, for those hoping to sort through other content and saving the main story path later, that won’t be an option, as Toyama confirmed that there won’t be any optional content. “With the limited budget we have, we decided to focus on the main experience rather than expanding the experience with optional content,” says the studio boss.

Is 15 hours a good enough length for a linear game nowadays? While I’m OK with it, I can’t say the same for everyone — especially those who are used to open-world games with dozens of side quests available. That said, it doesn’t seem like Slitterhead is designed to be that kind of game, which is something gamers should know before buying.

Slitterhead releases this November 8 for the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.

Gears of War: E-Day to Have a “New Feel” and “Feel Fresh, But Will Be a Gears Game; Will Tell of Chainsaw Lancer’s Conception

  by   Alex Co  
1:16 pm in News

With five mainline games already under its belt, the Gears of War franchise has a distinct feel and gameplay loop that has ensnared the attention of gamers for close to a decade. Now that a new entry is on the way with Gears of War: E-Day, can gamers expect more of the same or something different?

As it turns out, it’s a little bit of both according to the developers at The Coalition. In an interview, Creative Director Matt Searcy mentioned that E-Day will have a “new feel” though will still fee like a fucking kick ass Gears game.

“Gears of War: E-Day is going to feel like a fucking kick ass Gears game, like the one people have in their head. But it’s going to feel like a new game too. It’s going to have a new feel, it’s going to feel fresh and good at the same time.”

Of course, it can’t be a Gears of War game without the trusty Chainsaw Lancer weapon being wielded by our protagonists to chew through Locusts, and this time around, we’ll even know the backstory to it! This was confirmed by Brand Director Nicole Fawcette in the same interview.

“E-Day is the origin story of many things, including the Chainsaw Lancer. We’ll see the Chainsaw Lancer was actually built after the fact, since there were no weapons that could pierce their super thick hides. We’ll tell the story of how that came to be, and yes, you will get to use it too.”

While The Coalition can’t go into specifics when it comes to gameplay mechanics, it’s comforting to hear that it’ll retain that familiar Gears feel though seeing updates as well.

In other Gears of War: E-Day news, The Coalition confirmed the game will be linear, and will feature 100x more character and environment details compared to Gears 5.

Report: Wonder Woman Game Story Details, Concept Art Surfaces via Survey; Features Predominantly Women Villains

  by   Alex Co  
11:45 am in News

Announced three years ago, Monolith Productions’ (Middle-earth: Shadow of War) Wonder Woman game has seemingly gone dark. Thankfully, it doesn’t seem the superhero game is cancelled, as a new survey for it has made its way to gamers, and naturally, it has made its way online where concept art and even game details have surfaced.

Alongside the images, the first story details regarding the game has surfaced. which seems to be the game synopsis/plot description. It confirms the game will be a single-player affair, will feature an open-world where Wonder Woman can fly around in, and even see the return of Monolith’s Nemesis system that gained popularity in the studio’s Middle-earth games

You are Wonder Woman in this single-player action-adventure game developed by Monolith Productions.

The powerful sorceress Circe has invaded your island homeland of Themyscira, leading an army of cyclopes, gorgons, and other monsters. It is up to you, as Champion of the Amazons, to return home and fight their treachery.

Use your godlike strength to deal shattering blows and tear through enemies in an epic battle to protect your birthplace from the invaders. Engage in fast-paced free-flow combat with devastating combos and wield powerful weapons gifted by the gods, including the iconic Lasso of Truth.

As this original Wonder Woman story unfolds, you must also repair your relationship with your mother, Queen Hippolyta, and your fellow Amazons who feel betrayed by your decision to leave Themyscira many years ago.

Over the course of the game, you will encounter iconic DC characters as well as a unique cast of procedurally generated allies and enemies. Through the power of the Nemesis System, they will remember your choices and actions, and react according to their own beliefs.

Fly across the open world of Themyscira as you explore the home of the Amazons and discover mythical inhabitants from Greek mythology. Fight back against the invaders and complete your quest to stop Circe from destroying your home and acquiring untold power!

Check out the complete survey below along with the concept art:

Regarding the survey, it mentions some of the combat moves Wonder Woman can do in the game. While there’s your standard bracer bullet deflections we’ve seen in movies and other media, the survey also mentions “tiara throws,” “bracer force slams,” “whirlwind twirls” and more.

The survey also mentions that the new Wonder Woman game will feature a predominantly female set of villains like Circe, Medusa and Cheetah, which are to be expected for anyone familiar with the character’s lore.

Note that none of the info has been verified by Monolith or WB, so there is the small chance that this survey and its contents have been fabricated, though we don’t expect it to be.

No release date is set for the Wonder Woman game just yet, but we do know it’s coming to PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. Hopefully this survey means more concrete info is on the way.

[Thanks, hrowawayMedicalAcc!]

XDefiant Netcode Improvements From Latest Patch Confirmed, Spider-Bot Getting Reworked Due to Bugs

  by   Alex Co  
June 15, 2024 4:54 pm in News

Just a few days ago, XDefiant got a patch that not only added sniper flinch and nerfed bunny hopping, but also added netcode improvements as well. For those that want a better understanding of what these XDefiant netcode improvements are, you’re in luck, as someone from the dev team has done just that.

Over on Twitter, XDefiant Executive Producer Mark Rubin has explained the XDefiant netcode changes made in depth (even if he didn’t really need to), which we have below. For an easier read, we’ve compiled Rubin’s tweet chain into one quote rather than embedding each tweet.

Netcode!

We made some changes in this patch. Very technical detailed changes to help reduce the chance of getting hitreg or netcode issues. And we are seeing in our data decent improvements in the telemetry that we have. Now it doesn’t mean the problem is fixed or that…

…you won’t see this issues ever but it should be reduced. So if you were someone who was having or seeing these issues can you let me know how it feels today going forward. Did it improve. Did it remain the same. Or did it get worse (unlikely).

I also want to define some things. When I talk about hitreg and netcode these are the definitions:

Hitreg: I am shooting at a player and getting hit markers but their health isn’t moving and I’ve definitely hit them enough to kill them.

Netcode: I am dying around corners and I am for sure not dying because of fire damage or wallbanging (i.e. getting shot through a wall that is meant to be penetrable.)

In addition to that, Rubin also confirmed that the Dedsec faction’s Spider-bot skill is getting a rework due to how buggy (get it?) it is right now.

As someone who’s been using the Dedsec faction a lot, this is good news, as the Spider-bot skill not only sometimes attacks players while they seem to be on the floor, but there are instances where it’s confused where to go and just fizzles out when its timer runs out, or it completely bypasses enemies next to it, or just has trouble navigating the map and goes around in circles.

Another XDefiant dev has recently explained the bunny hopping nerfs which you should read about here.

Don’t forget, we have another XDefiant patch incoming this week! Once we know more about that, we’ll be sure to let our readers know.
