Want more Battlefield in your life? If so, you’ll want to keep your ears free come this Monday, as DICE has announced the “Inside Battlefield” podcast where the studio will talk about everything Battlefield.

In this first episode that’s set to roll out this Monday, January 23, it will focus on the upcoming class rework. Check out a preview of it below.

Speaking of class rework, DICE shared a load of info about it this week, which you can read about here.

If there’s anything juicy and informative in the podcast, we’ll be sure to let our readers know. This new podcast will be another source of info for Battlefield fans outside of the dev blog series for every patch, alongside the dev corner video series that airs after a major title update is rolled out as well.

Hopefully, this level of communication is maintained throughout BF2042’s lifecycle and for the succeeding Battlefield games.

Report: Marvel’s Avengers to Cease Updates and Development as Devs Work on New Tomb Raider Game

  by   Carlos Perez  
4:19 pm in News

Crystal Dynamics is finally pulling the plug on Marvel’s Avengers if a recent rumor is to be believed. The live service Marvel game didn’t take off as well as a lot of people hoped it would, with publisher Square Enix confirming it underperformed sales-wise.

According to a new report by reliable Marvel insider Miller, Crystal Dynamics is said to have reallocated its remaining devs to focus on an upcoming Tomb Raider game. As a result, Marvel’s Avengers is set to sunset sometime this year, with reports mentioning that development of the game will stop as early as next week. It will still receive a few updates, such as an upgrade to the game’s player traversal system and the removal of time gating, but other than that, it looks like the game’s being put down.

As Marvel’s Avengers wasn’t a huge success by any means, one can only hope that the upcoming Tomb Raider game will showcase the true talents of Crystal Dynamics when not held back by what former devs claimed as “inept studio management and Marvel Games bureaucracy.”

If this rumor is true, then this means that The Winter Soldier will be the last free hero released for the game. Same as with any rumor, treat this one with a grain of salt until announcements are made by Square Enix or Crystal Dynamics.

The Witcher 3 Next-Gen Update Patch “At the Final Stages” According to CD Projekt RED Staff

  by   Carlos Perez  
3:31 pm in News

While The Witcher 3 next-gen update promised better graphics and performance across all supported platforms, the PC version of the update seems to have quite a few issues. Fortunately, it looks like a “The Witcher 3” next-gen update patch is on the way, and should hopefully get rid of the major problems surrounding the new update.

A tweet from CD Projekt RED Global Community Director Marcin Momot reveals that the update is “at the final stages.” It’s worth noting that Momot didn’t actually mention the patch was for the PC version only, so it’s possible that this update may launch on other platforms, too.

The tweet didn’t really give an exact timeline for the announcement or the update itself, but Momot assures that it “shouldn’t be long until it comes out.” Until then, players will either have to play with the issues still present or wait until the patch hopefully fixes everything major.

While the PC version of The Witcher 3 is a little rough around the edges, it runs really well on consoles, especially on the PS5. In our PS5 review of the next-gen version of the game, we gave it a perfect 10/10 score. Here’s the entire verdict:

One of the best role-playing games of the last generation and one of my all-time favorite games, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt’s next-gen update/port makes what many considered to be a perfect game even better. For the new players, they’ll be able to experience what exactly all the talk has been about, only in a vastly superior, definitive version of the game. As for the old players, this update gives you the perfect excuse to invest hundreds, if not thousands, of hours once more. 

The Witcher 3 is currently available on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC. The next-gen update launched on the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC last year.

Jagged Alliance 3 Legacy Trailer Discusses Game’s Faithfulness to Franchise

  by   Salman Haider Zaidi  
1:23 pm in News

Haemimont Games and THQ Nordic have released the Jagged Alliance 3 “Legacy” Trailer. The trailer discusses the developers’ desire to create a new Jagged Alliance title with improved mechanics and gameplay, while remaining familiar to fans of the legendary turn-based game series. Haemimont Games accomplished this by bringing on series co-creator and designer Ian Currie to help with writing, narrative, and the development of the in-game universe.

Watch the Jagged Alliance 3 Legacy trailer below:

Jagged Alliance is a series of turn-based tactics video games; the first installment was released in 1995 on the MS-DOS, followed by Jagged Alliance 2 in 1999. While the series performed well commercially, a third full-fledged installment remained in development hell until THQ Nordic acquired the IP in 2015 and announced Jagged Alliance 3 in 2021.

Helmed by Haemimont Games of Tropico fame, a core focus of the Jagged Alliance 3 development process is to ensure authenticity with the legacy of the franchise. The developer recruited series co-creator and designer Ian Currie to shape and supervise the writing, story, and dialogue of the game. In turn, Currie recruited veteran writer and former colleague Dan McClure, came up with numerous ideas for quests and returning Mercs, and revamped the series’ conversation system:

One of my favorite features of the game is the conversation system – the part of the game that allows players to interact with various NPCs (non-player characters) in the world. In Jagged Alliance 2, this feature was very limited – you could only choose a general ‘approach’ (e.g. friendly, direct, threatening).
Jagged Alliance 3 introduces a robust conversation system that allows for a much more engaging role-playing experience and will often include participation from some of your mercs. This can range from simple comments to more helpful observations and plays out differently depending on the situation, adding to the game’s replay-ability. We iterated on the design until we were all happy with it and seeing it all come together was immensely satisfying. I’m very proud of what we’ve done here as it allows for so much more interaction between the player, the NPCs and the mercs, and allows us to tell a much deeper story than in any previous Jagged Alliance game.

Jagged Alliance 3 is currently under development for a PC release later in 2023. Check out the game’s gameplay showcase trailer from 2021, featuring an overview of its key mechanics as well as an incredible look at its visually-stunning environments.

  • We are investigating an issue where some players cannot acquire additional camos in Gold, Platinum and Polyatomic tiers if they have already acquired enough camos to unlock the next tier. For example, if you have 51 Platinum camos, you are unable to earn additional Platinum camos because 51 is the number you need to unlock Polyatomic.

Once the official patch notes have been released, we’ll be sure to let our readers know

New Destiny 2 Trials of Osiris Rewards and Map This Week January 20, 2023

  by   Salman Haider Zaidi  
12:04 pm in News

For those seeking the latest rewards in Destiny 2’s weekly PvP mode, MP1st is here to bring you the new Destiny 2 Trials of Osiris rewards and map this week January 20, 2023 edition!

New Destiny 2 Trials of Osiris Rewards This Week January 20, 2023:

Trials of Osiris Map

Wormhaven

Rewards

  • Reputation Rank 4: Upgrade Module (2)
  • Reputation Rank 7: Enhancement Prism (3)
  • 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: Burden of Guilt (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 you achieve while at the 7-win level, even if you lose your Flawless, has a chance to drop bonus Trials Engrams, adept weapons, prisms, and even Ascendant Shards. There is no penalty for losing once you’ve made it to the Lighthouse!

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.

Passages

Name Perk Cost
Passage of Ferocity Your third match win grants a bonus win. 10000 Glimmer & 15 Legendary Shards
Passage of Mercy Forgives one loss per run. 10000 Glimmer & 15 Legendary Shards
Passage of Wealth Increased Trials Rank points from reaching 3, 5, and 7 match wins on a ticket. 15000 Glimmer & 25 Legendary Shards
Passage of Confidence Grants bonus rewards from Flawless Chest. 20000 Glimmer & 50 Legendary Shards

Rumor: 343 Industries Scrapping Halo Infinite Campaign DLCs After Losing 1/3 of Workforce

  by   Salman Haider Zaidi  
5:15 am in News

Matters have worsened for the Halo franchise’s future. According to a rumor, 343 Industries (343i) is scrapping Halo Infinite’s planned campaign DLCs and transitioning altogether to a supervisory “franchise coordinator” role, after having lost a third of its workforce during the recent layoffs. 343i’s roadmap for Halo Infinite’s multiplayer content in 2023 will reportedly remain unchanged.

343i has been experiencing significant leadership difficulties ever since the troubled launch of Halo Infinite. Last year, studio head Bonnie Ross announced her departure from the company ahead of the release of the Winter Update, leading to parent company Microsoft restructuring her role into three separate positions. In December, Halo Infinite’s multiplayer creative director Tom French left the company, and Head of Creative Joseph Staten has reportedly also made an exit as of yesterday.

The rumor, if true, puts a nail in Halo Infinite’s coffin: 343i has now lost a third of its workforce, including both internal staff and contractors. Long-term plans for Halo Infinite campaign DLCs were scrapped by studio lead Pierre Hintz after a cost-benefit analysis, which is stated as the likely reason for Staten’s exit.

Under Hintz, 343i will reportedly be focusing on supporting Halo Infinite’s multiplayer mode (which is already outsourced to Certain Affinity, Spearsoft, and other studios for the most part) while transitioning to a “franchise coordinator” role. This change of direction has reportedly been in motion since 2020, with 343i (along with Microsoft Game Publishing) contracting mutliple external studios to create “future Halo experiences.”

Despite reports of deprecation in favor of the Unreal Engine Halo Infinite’s Slipspace engine is still in place according to the rumor, and will be opened up to external studios working with the IP should they choose to use it. The game’s multiplayer plans for 2023 (the rumored Project Tatanka, Forge, and new seasons and maps) will remain unchanged.

What do you think of the Halo franchise’s new direction? Let us know in the comments below.

Marvel’s Midnight Suns Deadpool DLC Set to Launch on January 26 Alongside New Story Missions

Marvel’s Midnight Suns is getting a new DLC on January 26, and it features none other than the wisecracking mercenary Deadpool. An iconic antihero in the Marvel franchise, Deadpool will usher in various story missions and new cosmetics.

Check out Deadpool’s shenanigans in this new spotlight trailer below.

The trailer includes some voice lines from Deadpool, some of which actually break the fourth wall and reference the fact that he’s in a video game. While the dialogue may seem strange and unexpected to those unfamiliar with Deadpool, this sort of bit is par for the course when it comes to the immortal assassin. He’s known to talk directly to the audience in comics and film, so it’s no surprise that he gets to do so in Midnight Suns, too.

Even if you’re not a huge fan of Deadpool and his humor, you can enjoy him as a playable character, with ten unique Hero abilities that give him a whole lot of personality. He will also come with his own set of cosmetics, so if you’re not a fan of the classic suit, you can spice it up with something more decorative or festive.

Marvel’s Midnight Suns is currently available on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
