Exoplanet Homestead Angel City Black Water Canal Boneyard Crash Site Rise Eden Colony According to our dataminer, these maps will be used for something called Capture Point, which will either be a limited-time mode, or maybe more likely given the number of maps, an entirely new style of play like Arenas Mode. It will be interesting to see how these maps will be adapted for Apex Legends, as many of them were designed around wall-running – something not in the basic Apex toolbox....

I always thought the character from Epic’s first Unreal Engine 5 demo looked a bit like Lara Croft, and perhaps Crystal Dynamics noticed it too! It’s interesting to hear that Crystal Dynamics is tackling a new Tomb Raider, as they’re also doing the heavy lifting on another big adventure with a British female protagonist – Perfect Dark. Will Crystal Dynamics have the capacity to handle both games? Let’s hope so....

Nice to see more of a focus on the characters. The over-the-top action scenes are great, but it’s going to be the chemistry between Holland, Wahlberg, and the rest of the cast that really carries the movie. Haven’t been keeping up with the Uncharted movie? The flick stars Holland as Nathan, Wahlberg as Sully, Sophia Taylor Ali as Chloe Frazer, and Antonio Banderas and Tati Gabrielle as our bad guys....

Many consider the 1991/1992 SNES installment one of the best, if not the best, entries in the series, and now, more than 30 years after its global release, we have an unofficial native PC version of this classic title. Like the above-mentioned unofficial PC ports, the team has managed to reverse-engineer the game’s source code, and this port features roughly 70-80kLOC of C/C++ code, and re-implements all parts of the original game....

Development on this fan remake kicked off earlier this year and will offer a new zombies system in addition to new animations alongside the dodge mechanic that Capcom introduced in Resident Evil 3 Remake. Also, as expected, this remake will offer 3D environments as well as the iconic Resident Evil third-person perspective (although the most recent installments switched to first-person), new cinematics, graphical enhancements, save rooms, a rain and fire reaction system, new gameplay mechanics, expanded puzzles, and more....

The rating, which has gone public on June 21st, doesn’t provide any new information on the game, but the fact that it has been rated suggests that more information will be coming in the near future. Valkyrie Elysium has been announced earlier this year during one of Sony’s State of Play presentations. The game will be an action role-playing game that will incorporate elements from the Valkyrie Profile series, such as recruitable warriors....

Vengeance is Mine looks to elevate its mech action with time-manipulation mechanics, and according to publisher 110 Industries, veterans from games like Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice and Fina Fantasy XV are working on the project. Here’s an official description… “In Vengeance Is Mine, players step into the shoes of Gabriel Jaeger who was brutally executed by three time travelers heading back to 1664, to obtain an old piece of technology that will allow them to operate the Deacon - a derelict military installation buried under the streets of New Amsterdam....

Looking at this list, it doesn’t seem like 2022 will go down in history as one of the most outstanding years for fans of multiplayer games. That said, some of these titles may well end up surprising everyone, and there’s always the chance for something coming out completely out of the proverbial left field. Check out Wccftech’s other Most Anticipated of 2022 lists: Fighting, Platformer, Shooter, Action, Horror, Adventure, Indie, RPGs, Strategy/Simulation, Sports/Racing If you’ve ever wanted a game that played like Diablo but had the depth and complexity of a full-fledged MMORPG, this is it....

We know certain games are coming even without official announcements. Annualised titles like Football Manager, FIFA, and F1 can feature based on the performance of the previous title. Last year FIFA missed the list as FIFA 21 wasn’t good; this year, it will feature. PES, on the other hand, is dead until further notice. 2K’s games won’t feature because I don’t have a gambling category. So, without further ado, and to round off January, let’s look at our most anticipated sports and racing games of 2022....

NIO (NYSE:NIO), one of the largest electric vehicle manufacturers in China, just suffered a robust blow to its near-term bullish outlook as the Nickel metal’s spectacular price explosion is now likely to translate into heightened cost pressures at a time when NIO is already facing a significant battery supply bottleneck. Before elaborating on NIO’s upcoming cost pressures, it is necessary to contextualize just how eccentric has been the recent increase in Nickel metal’s price....

Next week’s pre-patch is the first of two pre-expansion patch phases. The pre-patch will be implemented during the regional realm maintenance starting October 25. According to Blizzard, each phase of the pre-expansion patch will go live with a variety of features with next week’s features including the following: Talent System Revamp Players will be able to explore and set their new class talent trees, including the ability to save different loadouts tailored to their choice of gameplay Heads-up Display User Interface (HUD UI) Changes The first phase of updates for the HUD UI revamp gives players the ability to customize the base UI including location and size of action bars, player frames, and more....

Well, it seems like somewhere along the line, something changed, or perhaps reality has just come knocking. In a statement to UK regulators scrutinizing Microsoft’s proposed acquisition of Activision Blizzard, the company downplayed the importance of cloud gaming, a much-hyped recent Game Pass feature. And now, in a new Wall Street Journal Tech Live interview, Spencer seems to admit the whole Game Pass concept has a ceiling (thanks to The Verge’s Tom Warren for the transcription)....

Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) has delivered its earnings for the quarter ending June 30, 2022, and while overall results were respectable given the economic downturn on the horizon, the company’s Xbox division performed well below other segments of the company. Overall, Microsoft’s revenue increased 12 percent year-on-year in Q4 2022 (Microsoft’s fiscal year runs from the beginning of July to the end of June), which was below expectations and the 18 percent growth last quarter....

The presentation will be held on June 22, 2022, and it’s expected to happen at 7:00 AM PT. What’s going to be brought up during the presentation? Well, an educated guess would be a relaunch of the game’s pre-orders as they were put on hold last time. Namely those of the game’s Special Edition. Of course, there’s probably also going to be an extensive game overview that will highlight various of the game’s mechanics and features alongside some insight regarding Xenoblade Chronicles 3’s combat and world exploration....

You can check out the images below. The images give us a glimpse of a rather massive camera island with three cameras along with a flash.

[Original Story] A new action game developed by Team Ninja, Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, has been announced for PC and Xbox consoles. The new game, which will be set in a dark fantasy version of the Later Han Dynasty, has been revealed during the Xbox and Bethesda Games with a cinematic trailer that introduces the setting and presumably some of the main characters. While the reveal trailer doesn’t show any gameplay, the atmosphere looks quite good, reminiscent of the Nioh series also by Team Ninja....

Electric vehicle and aerospace billionaire Elon Musk has denied that a video showing him encouraging users to invest cryptocurrency for massive profits is his. Musk, who has shown a marked interest in cryptocurrency has been at the center of large price movements in some of the most popular currencies out there, but he has never directly encouraged his followers to purchase a specific token. The executive took to Twitter for his denial, responding to a brief ‘deepfake’ clip in which he seemed to be advocating viewers to invest in a new project and return 30% dividends in return....
