Vampire Survivors Whiteout Update Adds New Stage, Character, and More

Feeling bloodthirsty? The Vampire Survivors Whiteout Update has just been revealed for patch 1.7, and it includes some shiny new content for survivors to try out (perhaps with a friend). Get ready for a new map, a new character, a new weapon, and more!

The trailer for the new update can be seen here:

Here are the new pieces of content coming in this update:

Vampire Survivors Whiteout Update Content

  • New Stage – A new stage, Ultra Whiteout, makes an appearance in the game. It’s a wintry wonderland full of horrific snow creatures.
  • New Weapon – Survivors have access to a new weapon: the Glass Fandango. This weapon stabs large shards of glass outwards from your survivor towards enemies.
  • New Survivor – Surviving for 20 minutes on Ultra Whiteout unlocks She-Moon, an enchantress-type character. She fits the aesthetic of the new update perfectly.
  • New Enemies/Upgrades – Fearful new enemy types and a handy new upgrade also make an appearance in the Whiteout Update, so get out there and find them.

We can never have too much Vampire Survivors content. This game is the gift that keeps on giving. Regular updates like these keep the game from getting stale and keep us coming back every time.

The trailer lists no release date for the Whiteout Update, just that it’s “coming soon.” The description teases a global release in “a few weeks.” It’s likely that this’ll come out sometime around Halloween, but we’ll let our readers know when the update drops.

If you’re in the mood for more spooky indie games, check out our hands-on preview of Hauntii here. Let us know if you’re looking forward to spooky season in the comments.

Immortals of Aveum Update 1.004.002 for September 26 Casts Out

Ascendant Studios has pushed out Immortals of Aveum update 1.004.002 this September 26, and this is another patch that brings fixes and other improvements to the game. Read on for what’s new in the patch notes.

Immortals of Aveum Update 1.004.002 Patch Notes for September 26:

No official patch notes have been released just yet, but this should be for Update #4. Once we know the official patch notes, we’ll update the article.

In related news, Ascendant Studios has been hit with a massive blow, as almost half the studio has been laid off following the game’s less-than-stellar performance at retail.

While not a bad game, it’s not really one that stands out among the crowd, either. Go read our review of Immortals of Aveum here where we state, “Immortals of Aveum is a game that attempts to break out of the saturated FPS genre by offering a fantasy-themed, magic-based shooter based on an entirely new story. It’s an ambitious attempt, and while Ascendant Studios definitely did a solid job at creating a satisfying gunplay experience, its mediocre story and almost non-existent replayability make it difficult to recommend to others, unless they’re looking for something relatively short to try out.”

CD Project RED Apologizes to the Russians for Offensive Content in Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty Ukrainian Localization

CD Project Red has apologized to the Russians for several lines of dialogue and graffiti found in the Ukrainian localization of Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty. The corresponding message was posted on the studio’s official Russian Telegram channel (Translated via Google).

“The Ukrainian localization of Cyberpunk 2077 contains several remarks that could offend some Russian players. These remarks were not written by CD PROJEKT RED employees and do not represent our views. We are working to fix them and replace them in the next update. We apologize for this situation and are taking steps to ensure it does not happen again.”

The apology was posted after certain lines and elements were found to reference Russians in a potentially offensive or insensitive manner. For example, there’s usage of the word ‘rusnia’ which is a derogatory Ukrainian term for the Russians.

There’s also graffiti (as seen below) that depicts the Ukrainian coat of arms and the symbol of the Crimean Tatars over a basic outline of Crimea, alluding to Russia’s occupation of the region in 2014.

Additionally, there’s a crouching photo mode pose in the Ukrainian localization called “Like a Russian,” as seen in the image below.

UNLOCTEAM, the studio responsible for the Ukrainian localization, clarified on Twitter that they didn’t make any independent additions; every term in the game was directly approved by CDPR. They further assured that a fix is on the way.

“We would also like to draw your attention to:

— All terminology is directly agreed with the CDPR. Again: ALL THE TERMINOLOGY 🙂

— The translation went through several full-fledged LQAs, but something can always go wrong. Wait for the fix.”

Besides the Telegram post, there hasn’t been any official statement on the matter. However, given the sensitivity of the issue, a fix should be coming soon.

Cyberpunk 2077’s Phantom Liberty DLC is out now, and you should read our review to see why it’s a must-play.

Report: Red Dead Redemption 2 Switch Version Rated in Brazil

There might be a surprise release of the Red Dead Redemption 2 Switch version, as the game has received a rating in Brazil. This implies that a Nintendo Switch version of the game could be in the works.

Rockstar Games recently released a port of the original Red Dead Redemption for the Switch, which suggests they might be interested in bringing the sequel to the platform as well.

There have been rumors of the Xbox Series X|S and PS5 versions in development, so this rating could be related to those projects. Rockstar Games might consider releasing the current-gen versions alongside a Switch port.

However, all of this is just speculation on our part, there’s nothing concrete to go on at the moment. If anything regarding Red Dead Redemption 2 Switch does come up, we will be the first to let you know.

EA Sports PGA Tour Update 1.000.012 for September 26 Swings Out for Season 6 Patch 7.0

EA has pushed out EA Sports PGA Tour update 1.000.012 on all platforms this September 26 and this is for Season 6! This is called patch version 7.0 by EA, and it seems the devs pushed out two patches, so after downloading update 1.000.0011, players will be prompted to download the other one as well. Read on for what’s new in the EA Sports PGA Tour Season 6 patch notes.

EA Sports PGA Tour Update 1.000.012 Patch Notes | EA Sports PGA Tour Update 7.0 Patch Notes | EA Sports PGA Tour Season 6 Patch Notes:

Welcome to Season 6 and the Ryder Cup!

This season the Ryder Cup has taken over EA SPORTS™ PGA TOUR™ with big changes that you can’t miss. When you enter the game, you’ll now be presented with a choice between team USA or Europe. This decision impacts many aspects of your journey and remains in effect for the entire season so choose wisely!

In the main menu, you’ll now see your golfer representing either team Europe or USA, proudly wearing the uniform of your chosen team. Additionally, you will be greeted with the captivating Ryder Cup theme music and see that the UI and background reflect the theme of your selection.

You can now play the prestigious Marco Simone Golf & Country Club, the host of the 2023 Ryder Cup. Additionally, you have the opportunity to participate in the Ryder Cup on other iconic courses that have previously hosted the event, including Kiawah Island, Oak Hill, The Country Club, and Whistling Straits.

Season 6 brings exciting updates to the Pro Pass*, allowing you to earn the coveted “MultiVerse” gear set for either team USA or Europe. If you complete the Pro Pass, you’ll also earn Scottie Scheffler’s Ball Spec in the free tier, while the premium tier unlocks a brand new Titleist SM9 Custom Team USA or Europe Wedge. Just like last season, you’ll earn tokens to level up your Pro Pass by completing live Quests, Ryder Cup Challenges, and playing rounds in Online, Tournaments, and Career modes. In Season 6, new Quest types have been added to reward your participation in Ryder Cup formats, including Match Play, Foursomes, and Four-Ball.

Playing in the Ryder Cup takes on many forms throughout Season 6, depending on which mode you choose: Online, Tournaments, Challenges, Quick Play, or Private Match. But regardless of which mode you choose, we wanted to make sure that every round feels like the Ryder Cup. When you start a round, you’ll hear the Ryder Cup anthem and commentary that brings you into the action. Throughout the round, you’ll hear the crowd chanting for their favorite team and notice the more dedicated fans that dressed up for the occasion. Because the crowd is such an essential part of the Ryder Cup, we made sure to expand the game’s capabilities so you can now play with crowd enabled in any of the turn-based formats across Online and Private Match modes.

We are excited to announce that 2v2 team formats Foursomes and Four-Ball are now available to play in Online and Private Match modes. In Online mode, you can choose whether to matchmake by yourself or invite a friend and compete as a team. Note that your team USA or Europe affiliation is purely visual and has no effect on who you can compete with or against in Online or Private Match. In these Ryder Cup formats, you’ll always see your partner wearing the uniform of your team, while your opponents will be wearing the uniform of the opposing team.

Online leaderboards now feature updated filters for tracking performance in Foursomes and Four-Ball formats. Additionally, a new “Top 100 Teams Leaderboard” tracks the performance of each unique team of player pairs.

Challenges mode is also getting into the spirit of the Ryder Cup. New challenge series have been added, showcasing history from the 1991, 1995, 1999, and 2020 Ryder Cups. You can also look forward to Challenges for the 2023 Ryder Cup that will be released after the event.

Weekly and Seasonal Tournaments are also Ryder Cup themed and are hosted at Marco Simone or any of the other historic Ryder Cup courses. These tournaments also mark the introduction of crowds for the first time.

You can also play any of the Ryder Cup formats in Quick Play, with friends or AI players in any combination that suits your preference.

We are also raising the max level for created golfers from 50 to 60. In order to support this update, note that the OVR calculation has been adjusted to fit this scale to avoid player OVRs entering into the 100’s. Players at a lower OVR likely won’t notice much change, but unfortunately players at a high OVR will see their rating reduced.

There have also been some improvements to the zoom camera. The low-view putting zoom camera’s accuracy has been improved and can now be moved all the way back to the ball, allowing you to read the entire putt without changing your aim location. The zoom camera now smoothly transitions between zoom camera heights without resetting its orientation, providing a more immersive and less disorienting experience.

Store & Content:

    • New USA and Europe “MultiVerse” gear sets are available in Pro Pass and Challenges.

    • Fixed an issue where some players were being disconnected when entering an online match and being returned to the main menu with the error message “Authentication Required. Please try again.”. The fix was applied to servers on September 18th.
    • Fixed opponent’s Ball Trail VFX sometimes being shown on your golfer when playing in online match play.

Quick Play:

    • Updated lobbies in match play, foursomes, four-ball, alternate shot, and best ball formats to be pre-populated with golfers so that the player doesn’t have to manually add them each time.
    • Added a new option to golfers in quick play lobbies that allows players to change a golfer from CPU to a locally controlled golfer and vice versa.

Career:

    • Updated round settings confirmation popup to clarify which round of the tournament the player is about to enter.

    • Various improvements to support cleanly transitioning from one season to the next.

Live Content: The weekly activities have received some upgrades to make them more interesting, don’t sleep on them!

UGC Menu: Big changes are coming to events and we’re preparing the field. The UGC menu has received its first changes with the addition of the Skate tab and the Recommended Content tab, which will be filled based on the creations you play.

Tricks: Spamming the same trick won’t count towards the combo score.

Sponsors: Daily sponsor contracts asking you to participate in a showdown match have been removed.

FIXES

Payday 3 Servers Down for Maintenance This September 26

Starbreeze Studios has taken the Payday 3 servers down for maintenance today, September 26, as they work on server improvements and matchmaking stability.

Payday 3 Servers Down Schedule and Status for September 26:

Payday 3 maintenance schedule.

  • 8AM and 11AM CEST
  • 2PM and 5PM CST
  • 7AM and 10AM BST
  • 2AM and 5AM EDT
  • 11PM and 2AM PDT

As you can see, the servers will be down for roughly three hours. Starbreeze has provided a statement as to what they’re doing during this time.

“In order to improve server and matchmaking stability, we will make upgrades to the environment ahead of this weekend. In order to perform these upgrades, the service will be offline between 8AM and 11AM CEST Tuesday and Friday.”

As noted, there will be another planned maintenance happening this Friday.

Hopefully, once the studio is done with its upgrades, the servers for Payday 3 will be far more reliable than they have been since launch. Fingers crossed, though as always, we’ll continue to update you with server statuses, should there be any extended downtime.
