Rogue Company (the in-game organization) is always on the lookout for new talent. A 21-year-old with an Olympic medal in archery, for instance, is someone whose skillset it could use. The archer goes by the name Seeker, and he joins the Rogue Company roster with the latest patch. The patch also includes a new map titled Hollows. If you’re interested in the Rogue Company narrative, we’re told Seeker was recruited to help the organization with the assault on Jackal’s Hollows Base....

2020 is set to be a big year for Sonic the Hedgehog. With a film hitting theaters in a few weeks and some new games likely in the works, Sega has a lot to reveal about the franchise. It has so much, in fact, that it will be revealing information on the 20th of each month for the entire year. In a campaign the company is calling “Sonic 2020,” Sega has promised to unveil something about Sonic the Hedgehog each month....

Sloclap has committed to improving the accessibility of its new fighting game, Sifu. Talking to accessibility advocate and blind gamer Steve Saylor on a recent Twitch Gaming stream, Sloclap co-founder Pierre Tarno said that Sifu will be getting accessibility updates post-launch, including improved captioning, a high contrast mode for PS4/5 as well as PC, and difficulty modes (thanks, Can I Play That?). The commitment to introducing difficulty modes is an interesting one, and contradicts the studio’s previous claims that instead of easier modes, the team wanted the game “to challenge players and encourage them to learn”....

CI Games has announced that the PlayStation 5 version of military FPS Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 will belatedly launch on August 24. You can expect all the fancy new-console bells and whistles in this version, including DualSense adaptive trigger support. There’s also improved SSD loading times, upgraded textures and the choice of two modes. Performance Mode will offer 60FPS at 2K resolution while Visual Mode boasts a 4K resolution at 30FPS....

Last month we got a look at the 3D sections of Sonic Forces as the game was shown off at SXSW. Sega has now released a gameplay video giving fans a glimpse of what Sonic The Hedgehog will look like when in his more familiar, flatter role as a 2D platformer in the upcoming game. Sonic Forces follows a similar pattern to Sonic Generations as it will feature both 3D and 2D stages but the ratio is, as of yet, unknown....

Paramount Pictures has dropped the final trailer before the release of the Sonic the Hedgehog 2 movie next month. As the last trailer before release, this latest tease brings together everything we’ve seen of the movie so far. That includes Sonic himself, of course, once more voiced by Ben Schwartz. He’s joined once more by his human partner Tom played by James Marsden. However, this time he’s also bringing along Tails for the ride voiced by Colleen O’Shaughnessey....

Today Atlus released its inevitable daily trailer of the upcoming JRPG Soul Hackers 2, showing another of the elements that appear in the game. This time around it isn’t against a demon, but about vending machines. Vending machines selling drinks (and at times food or more exotic products) are a common sight in Tokyo, where you can find them basically everywhere. Specifically, the vending machine you can see in the trailer, which Ringo calls “Negociere” appears to be a parody of the “Acure” brand that has become rather popular in Japan, displaying drinks on a touch screen, with some models even able to “read” your face and suggest the drink that may be best for you depending on market research....

During Sony’s latest State of Play it was announced that Spellbreak — an upcoming fantasy battle royale game — will be launching on the PlayStation 4 next spring. Currently in a Closed Beta on PC, the title recently pulled in a $20 million investment and has been a hit with those who have the chance to go hands-on with the title. Seth Sivak, CEO of developer Proletariat, says that, “The PlayStation 4 will be a great place to play Spellbreak and we’re very excited to give that audience of players a chance to join us in the Closed Beta Program next spring....

Insomniac Games has released an action-packed Spider-Man gameplay launch trailer for you to gawk at, despite the fact the web-slinging superhero title isn’t out for another three weeks. The footage offers a glimpse at some of the villains that Spidey will be going up against in the PlayStation 4-exclusive actioner, as well as highlighting some stylish mid-air traversal as the masked superhero effortlessly skims the skylines of New York City....

But beyond being capably played by great actors and looking pretty nifty on their own—with Gyllenhaal’s Mysterio being a special kind of achievement given how funky that Steve Ditko-inspired fishbowl helmet appears in comics—each of these baddies offers something more refreshing to the MCU than a new dose of villainy; they give a sense of scale, adding a bumpy texture to Marvel Studios’ often glossy sheen. As a consequence, Toomes becomes a criminal, selling the alien tech he salvaged before getting shown the door....

Spider-Man on the PS4 has finally released and, to the joy of many, is one of the greatest Marvel Comics video games ever made. Insomniac has taken their experience to craft a rich open world with all the popular faces and moments from Spider-Man lore. Topped off with plenty of references for fans of the movies, comics, and TV shows, there’s something for every Spider-fan in the game. One of the most exciting features in the game is the multiple costumes....

It’s no secret that trying to buy a house or a plot of land in Final Fantasy XIV has always been a bit of a headache, and that’s a major understatement. With FFXIV finally getting a new housing district in Ishgard, you can expect there to be a mad rush for those new housing plots once the update goes live as well. Square Enix is aiming to alleviate some of those issues with the new housing lottery system, however, which should give all players a much fairer chance of buying a plot instead of waking up at godforsaken hours to try to beat the queue and dash to a plot....

Valerie Harper, whose Rhoda Morgenstern character is an icon of television, died on Friday August 30, eight days after her 80th birthday. “My dad has asked me to pass on this message,” Harper’s daughter Cristina Cacciotti, confirmed on Twitter. “’My beautiful caring wife of nearly 40 years has passed away at 10:06 a.m., after years of fighting cancer. She will never, ever be forgotten. Rest In Peace, mia Valeria. -Anthony.’”...

In this unique new mode the action unfolds over three phases, each presenting players with a different objective.

Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic remake is “in serious trouble” and “delayed indefinitely”, according to a new report. Bloomberg said developer Aspyr fired the game’s art director and design director this month, and told staff the hotly-anticipated remake is “on pause”.

The big Steam library update Valve revealed six months ago is finally heading our way. Soon, your Steam library will have a whole new look and feel, offering each game its own page chock full of useful information. But to be clear: this will launch in beta, so while you’ll be able to check out all the new features, it’s likely that some features may change before launch. However, if you’re eager to give the new library a whirl (it’s available to all), the beta will begin on Sept....

Stranger of Paradise has finally arrived, offering up a Final Fantasy spin-off that reimagines the time loop mechanic from the very first game in the series. It’s far more linear than the likes of Final Fantasy XV, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a replayable experience. In this guide, we’ll run you through everything you need to know about the Stranger of Paradise Chaos difficulty mode. Unlocking Chaos Difficulty by Beating the Game To unlock Chaos difficulty, you need to beat Stranger of Paradise on any other difficulty setting....
