To say the hype for games like ‘Starfield’ and ‘The Elder Scrolls 6’ is off the charts would even be an understatement, because in a Reddit based “ask me anything” session, Executive Producer at Bethesda Todd Howard signed up to celebrate Skyrim’s 10th anniversary, and instead spend his time answering questions about upcoming titles instead.
Perhaps this was always going to happen, but stop us if you’ve heard this before: due to global supply issues it appears another piece of hardware is going to take longer to make it into consumers’ hands than originally planned.
According to a live stream from the production team, it seems that the highly anticipated ‘Final Fantasy 14: Endwalker’ expansion is going to reset mid-level progress for players, and we don’t mean that in terms of a checkpoint: no, your character level.
It’s always nice to get free stuff, right? Well, Ubisoft is currently giving away the PC version of ‘Assassin’s Creed Chronicles’ for free via Ubisoft Connect, but you’ve only got a few days to grab the trilogy of games, which would usually cost around £20.
It seems the studio purchases aren’t quite done yet for Xbox, however, as Phil Spencer, the chief of gaming at Xbox has said that the company has a lot of ambition and is looking to invest in more social, casual content.
‘Deathloop’ was incredibly well received. With a massive five star review on NME, most critics praised the storytelling, art direction, how unique a game it is and, well, frankly, everything about it. It seems anything that has the “Arkane” studio name on it seems to do very well, and now the director of ‘Deathloop’ has been appointed as the new head of the studio.
Although ‘Back 4 Blood’ launched to a good reception, it was soured somewhat when solo players discovered there was little reason for them to get in on the zombie slaying action. And we get it, it’s a multiplayer, co-op shooter that’s designed around teamwork, but there’s a solo campaign in the game that lets you play with AI bots, only there’s zero progression at all, but that’s about to change next month.
If there’s one thing that people can’t complain about when it comes to Amazon Studios’ new MMORPG ‘New World’ it’s communication from the development team to the players. It seems like every few days the developer is active on the official forums, updating everyone on what’s next, what’s being fixed, and whether or not something is working as it should be. And it seems the next major thing on the list to be fixed is the combat responsiveness.
It may not be the PC or PS5 version of ‘Bloodborne’ that everyone seems to be wanting, but it does seem we’ll have a new version of the beloved FromSoftware title to play through soon, as a PlayStation One demake take on the classic is coming to PC at the end of January 2022.
Xbox has been nailing the Game Pass releases for a long time now, but October’s list was arguably one of the weakest so far. With that in mind, November’s first run of titles coming to the service includes a huge list of must plays and some brand new games coming day one to the service.
