Shattered glass glints in the starlight. Soldiers of the Shadow Legion battle with Guardians under the unmistakable shadows of the fleet overhead—the Witness and its newest Disciple are here. Amid the chaos, begin a journey that will reveal the hidden threads that bind us, the ability to unravel them, and the mastery to weave them anew. With this new power in hand, find strength in your fellow Guardians and triumph in the face of impossibility; Legendary mode returns.

Destiny 2 Lightfall is currently available for pre-order on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. It’s expected to release on February 28, 2023.

Transformers: Reactivate Teaser Trailer Dropped, Closed Beta Planned for 2023

  by   Carlos Perez  
6:13 pm in News

One of the more surprising reveals during The Game Awards 2022 was for a new game titled “Transformers: Reactivate.” The online action game is based on the Transformers universe and explores a world already taken over by aliens known as The Legion.

The game will feature co-op elements allowing one to four players, though it’s not clear how co-op will work in-game just yet. The game is planned for a Closed Beta next year, so you may want to sign up to get a chance at Closed Beta access (you can sign up for the game here).

TRANSFORMERS: REACTIVATE will offer players a chance to immerse themselves in the TRANSFORMERS universe like never before. They will get to play as some of their favourite characters; unique, weighty, and powerful, seamlessly converting between vehicle and bot form as they battle The Legion; the greatest threat the Autobots have ever faced.

Transformers: Reactivate is set to release on “PC and consoles,” which most likely means PlayStation and Xbox platforms.

Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon Announced, Slated for March 17 Release

  by   Carlos Perez  
6:50 am in News

The Bayonetta franchise is adding another entry to its list next year. Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon is a spinoff game that delves into the past and was announced during The Game Awards 2022.

Check out the trailer for it straight from Nintendo’s press email.

Turn back the pages of the Umbra Witch’s story to learn where it all began. Take control of Cereza and her first demon Cheshire to fend off faeries and solve puzzles when Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon releases March 17, 2023 only on Nintendo Switch.

Like Bayonetta 3, Bayonetta Origins will be a Switch-only exclusive. The game is currently available for preorder on the Nintendo eShop, allowing you to download the game as soon as it’s available. In the meantime, here’s a brief synopsis of the game:

In Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon, players take on the role of Cereza, a young apprentice witch, and start a fateful journey into a forbidden forest to gain the power to save her mother. In addition to sporting a striking and distinct storybook-inspired art style of its own, this new title also features gameplay never before seen in the Bayonetta series. Controlling both Cereza and her infernal demon partner, Cheshire, players will focus on exploration, combat and puzzle solving to help Cereza go deeper into the forest.

While gameplay may feel very different from mainline Bayonetta games, fans of the series’ lore may enjoy the more whimsical aesthetic and beautiful artwork of this upcoming title.

Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon will release on the Nintendo Switch on March 17 next year.

New Wild Hearts Trailer Reveals the Game’s Ferocious Monsters

  by   Carlos Perez  
5:59 am in News

Wild Hearts, an upcoming monster hunting game, just revealed its latest trailer during The Game Awards 2022. The Wild Hearts trailer features some of the monsters (or Kemono as they’re called in-game) that you’ll end up encountering throughout your playthrough.

Causing a real threat to Azuma’s fantasy landscape, Kemono are giant beasts that have fused with their environments, wielding the power of nature to reshape their surroundings to suit their needs and battle for territory. Players will encounter all types of Kemono in WILD HEARTS – from plant-infused squirrels to the massive Kingtusk wild boar and many more – as they traverse the world. The new trailer showcases three of the most powerful Kemono players will take on, including Deathstalker the savage wolf, Amaterasu the giant hawk, and for the first time Golden Tempest, the ferocious, unforgiving tiger and its tornado of sand and gold.

The Kemono featured in the trailer seem to be fighting in their natural environments, such as the icy Deathstalker on a snowy landscape. Landing hits on some of these monsters (such as the Amaterasu) looks particularly tricky, so you’ll really need to make use of the Karakuri crafting system in order to close the gap or catch the monsters off-guard.

Wild Hearts is expected to drop on February 17 next year on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

Horizon Forbidden West DLC Titled “Burning Shores” to Arrive April 19 Guerrilla Confirms Only for PS5

  by   Carlos Perez  
5:01 am in DLC and Expansions

Horizon Forbidden West’s getting an expansion next year titled “Burning Shores.” The Horizon Forbidden West DLC was announced during The Game Awards where a new trailer was shown off.

Horizon Forbidden West DLC “Burning Shores” Trailer:

Burning Shores takes place in a now-ruined Los Angeles, with more characters and stories to discover throughout the DLC, which is set to be released on April 19.

Guerrilla Games shared what they hoped to achieve with the upcoming expansion:

Our creative vision for the Burning Shores is an ambitious expansion which will take Aloy to the ruins of Los Angeles. It’s an overgrown and fractured city that can be fully explored via the water and flying on the back of a Sunwing. A massive machine threat lurks in its shadows – a huge challenge that Aloy must overcome by using all of her skills and abilities. To achieve this grand vision technically and creatively, we’ve made the difficult decision to focus all our efforts on making an incredible experience exclusively for the PlayStation®5 console.

While Horizon Forbidden West is available on both PS4 and PS5, Burning Shores will only be available on the latter, more powerful console. Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores is expected to release on April 19 next year, with the devs hoping to reveal more info “very soon.”

Idris Elba to Star in Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, Featured in New Teaser Trailer

  by   Carlos Perez  
2:01 am in News

English actor Idris Elba (The Losers, Thor: Ragnarok) was revealed to be part of the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty DLC. In the trailer, he plays a standoffish FIA agent named Solomon Reed. 

Introducing Idris Elba as Solomon Reed, an FIA Agent for the New United States of America. Team up and take on an impossible mission of espionage & survival.

Get ready for Phantom Liberty – a spy-thriller expansion for Cyberpunk 2077 set in an all new district of Night City. Coming 2023 to PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.

Idris Elba is no stranger to gaming. He voice-acted Knuckles in the latest Sonic the Hedgehog movie, and he starred as Bloodsport in The Suicide Squad (2021). In Phantom Liberty, he forms an alliance with V and appears to play a major role in the DLC’s story.

Played by actor Idris Elba (Luther, Fast and Furious: Hobbs and Shaw, Sonic The Hedgehog 2, The Suicide Squad), who’s joining the cast of Phantom Liberty alongside Keanu Reeves as Johnny Silverhand, Reed is a veteran New United States of America agent, and apparently the only person players can trust to help them fulfill an impossible mission of espionage and survival. Following the teaser’s climax, the actor appeared in a special video message directed at the audience and gamers worldwide, commenting on the character of Reed and his role in Phantom Liberty’s story.

Cyberpunk 2077 has been going through somewhat of a redemption arc in recent months. After the release of the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners anime on Netflix, more people gained interest in the world of Cyberpunk. CD Projekt RED’s continued efforts to fix the game have apparently paid off, too, with Cyberpunk 2077 reaching one million daily active players across four weeks.

With the last update for last-gen consoles released last September, Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty is set to release on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC only.

Crash Team Rumble, an 4v4 Multiplayer Game, Is Set to Release This 2023

After the success of Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time, we’re getting another Crash Bandicoot game, and this one’s a little different. Titled “Crash Team Rumble,” it’s a 4v4 online game that involves many notable characters from the Crash universe.

In Crash Team Rumble, fans can play as Crash, Dingodile, and a host of other friends and frenemies, each of which has their own distinct power, personality, and playstyle, as they compete across wild and varied arenas in 4v4 team-based online multiplayer action. To lead their squad to victory, players will slide, smash, bump and bash as a team to be the “fur-st” to bank the most Wumpa fruit in their drop-off zone, while simultaneously defending the opponent team’s drop zone. Featuring cross-platform play, Crash Team Rumble will feature tons of strategic gameplay elements that will be sure to turn the tide of scoring in hilarious ways.

Crash Team Rumble was actually teased back in October when Activision Blizzard sent pizza boxes that announced the arrival of Crash Bandicoot 4 on Steam. The box also hinted at an announcement during The Game Awards 2022, and here we are.

Crash Team Rumble is set to release sometime in 2023 on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

Striking Distance Studios has released The Callisto Protocol update 1.07 (PS5 version 1.007) and should once again bring in more bug fixes to the horror game. Read on for what’s new in The Callisto Protocol December 8 (December 9 for outside US) patch notes.

The Callisto Protocol Update 1.07 Patch Notes | The Callisto Protocol Update 1.007 Patch Notes | The Callisto Protocol December 8 Patch Notes:

Update: Striking Distance has finally released the patch notes:

Today we launched patches for all console versions of TCP with bug fixes and improvements, including enabling ray-traced reflections on Xbox Series X. We are working daily on optimizations for all platforms and are listening to your feedback. Thanks for your patience.

Unfortunately, Striking Distance hasn’t revealed the actual patch notes just yet. The studio did share the following on social media:

We’re listening to your feedback and working hard to further optimize PC performance. Today we released a new PC update that improves PSO caching and further reduces any stuttering issues. Additional PC and console optimizations are in the works now. Stay tuned.

That’s about it, and given we had to wait for a day before the patch notes were released for the 1.06 title update, we might have to wait just as long for the official changelog for this one too.

Once we know more about it, we’ll be sure to let our readers know.
