  • Toys for Bob Teases New Spyro and Crash Bandicoot Games: Is a Dragon’s Flame Reigniting Crash’s Bandicoot?

    Toys for Bob Teases New Spyro and Crash Bandicoot Games: Is a Dragon’s Flame Reigniting Crash’s Bandicoot?

    Toys for Bob has changed its website and put up a new logo, which has made fans wonder if there are new Crash Bandicoot or Spyro games on the way.

    Toys for Bob is known for making Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time and the Spyro Reignited Trilogy. The Tiki mask might suggest something to do with Crash, while the purple color makes people think of Spyro.

    Toys for Bob Teases New Spyro and Crash Bandicoot Games

    Are they making new games in these series? Fans on social media seem to think so. But could it just be a new logo for the developer that combines both games?

    The image file is named “TFB_LogoVector_TikiMask-purple,” which suggests it might be. Some people even say it’s an old logo from when the studio had a Tiki bar theme.

    Earlier this year, the studio left Activision to become independent but is thinking about teaming up with Microsoft. This comes after Microsoft bought Activision Blizzard and let go of 1900 employees across Xbox, including 86 from Toys for Bob.

    The studio said on its website that it’s proud of the games it’s made over the years, like Skylanders and the Spyro Reignited Trilogy. They want to keep making great games and think now is the time to do it. They’re excited to go back to being a small, flexible studio.

    Spyro 4 Teaser Leaks

    Toys For Bob knows how to keep us guessing. Spyro fans are excited again, thinking there might be a hint about Spyro 4.

    The last time we saw Spyro was in 2018’s Spyro Reignited Trilogy, where he was the main character.

    Spyro also showed up in Crash Team Rumble, but that game didn’t last long, so it’s not a big deal for fans.

    Fans want new main games for Crash Bandicoot and Spyro, not just multiplayer games.

    Toys For Bob keeps dropping hints. Last year, they were seen looking at Unreal Engine 5, which could mean they’re working on something big. They also decided to become independent from Microsoft.

    But they’re still going to work with Microsoft on their next game. And it sounds like it might be similar to the games they’ve made before, which is exciting for Crash and Spyro fans.

    Now, Toys For Bob changed their website to show a purple tiki mask. It looks like Aku Aku from Crash Bandicoot, but the purple color is more like Spyro.

    Could this mean they’re working on new Crash and Spyro games? Or is it just a new logo?

    It’s hard to know for sure. Weirdly, they’re making changes to their website right before Summer Game Fest, which is when new games are often announced. But we’ll have to wait until June 7 to find out for sure.

  • Final Hi-Fi Rush Patch Released: Sending the Game Out With a Bang!

    Final Hi-Fi Rush Patch Released: Sending the Game Out With a Bang!

    Hi-Fi Rush is a fun action-rhythm game made by Tango Gameworks. It came out of nowhere in 2023 and turned out to be one of the top games of the year. But now, the studio that made it has been shut down by Xbox. This makes the last update for the game a sad goodbye to its fans.

    Final Hi-Fi Rush Patch Released

    Today, Hi-Fi Rush is getting one last update to fix some small problems in the game. Also, the Hi-Fi Rush X (formerly Twitter) account has confirmed that Limited Run Games will release a physical version of the game.

    This news from the Hi-Fi Rush X account comes about a week after Xbox closed down Tango Gameworks, the studio that made the game, as well as Arkane Austin, the studio behind Redfall, and two other teams from Bethesda.

    Even though Tango Gameworks won’t make any more Hi-Fi Rush stuff, hopefully, this update makes the game as good as possible for new players to enjoy.

    Tango Gameworks shut down about a year after they made Hi-Fi Rush, which was a big hit according to Xbox. A few days after these studios closed, Xbox president Sarah Bond talked about why it happened, saying it’s about keeping the business healthy for the future.

  • Assassin’s Creed Shadows Official Reveal Trailer: Embrace the Shinobi in Feudal Japan

    Assassin’s Creed Shadows Official Reveal Trailer: Embrace the Shinobi in Feudal Japan

    Ubisoft’s new Assassin’s Creed game, set in feudal Japan, finally has a name: Assassin’s Creed Shadows.

    Before, it was just called Assassin’s Creed: Codename Red.

    They’re going to show more about Shadows this week, on Wednesday, May 15th at 5 pm UK time. That’s when they’ll release a full trailer for the game on YouTube.

    Assassin’s Creed Shadows Official Reveal Trailer

    Assassins Creed Mirage Cheats

    The new Assassin’s Creed game, previously known as Assassin’s Creed Codename Red, now has an official title: Assassin’s Creed Shadows. The game, set in Japan, will be properly revealed on May 15.

    Ubisoft tweeted, “Assassin’s Creed Codename Red becomes Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Tune in for the Official Cinematic World Premiere Trailer on May 15, 9 AM PT.” That’s noon ET / 4 pm GMT / 5 pm BST. You can watch the trailer on Ubisoft’s YouTube channel.

    This trailer is said to be “cinematic,” so we might not see much actual gameplay. But with the Summer Game Fest coming up in June and the usual Ubisoft Forward event on June 10, we’ll likely get more details soon.

    Ubisoft also mentioned an “hourglass puzzle” on Assassin’s Creed’s social media channels. They say that those who solve it will be rewarded, hinting at some hidden secret.

    Assassin’s Creed Shadows was announced alongside other upcoming Assassin’s Creed games and is described as “the future of our open-world RPG games on Assassin’s Creed.” Apart from the Japanese setting and ties with Assassin’s Creed Infinity, there haven’t been many official details.

    The game is listed for PC, Xbox Series X|S, PS5, and PS4, but interestingly, there’s no mention of an Xbox One version despite the last-gen PlayStation release.

    Assassin’s Creed Shadows Season Pass and DLC Prices Leaked

    A dataminer, @Ubisoft_Frax, has shared some info about what’s coming after the release of Assassin’s Creed Shadows (previously known as Assassin’s Creed Red).

    They say there will be at least two new expansions after the game launches, and each will cost $25. But if you want to get all the post-launch content, you can buy the Season Pass for $40.

    They’ve also mentioned the prices for Helix, the in-game currency used in Assassin’s Creed, for buying stuff in the game:

    • 500 Helix – $/€5
    • 1050 Helix – $/€10
    • 2300 Helix – $/€20
    • 4200 Helix – $/€35
    • 6600 Helix – $/€50
  • God of War Ragnarok is Reportedly Coming to PC: Kratos Prepares for a PC Warpath

    God of War Ragnarok is Reportedly Coming to PC: Kratos Prepares for a PC Warpath

    A reliable leaker known as billbil-kun, writing for Dealabs, has claimed that the popular action game “God of War: Ragnarok” will soon be available on PC. However, they didn’t give an exact release date. According to billbil-kun, an announcement about this PC release is expected sometime in May.

    “God of War: Ragnarok” originally launched on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 in November 2022 and was a huge success among both critics and players.

    It quickly became the fastest-selling first-party game in PlayStation history, selling 5.1 million units in its first week alone.

    By November 2023, it had sold over 15 million copies. The Valhalla DLC released last year was also well-received. If the PC release happens this fall, it will be two years after the game first came out on consoles.

    According to a reliable leaker named billbil-kun, the next Sony game coming to PC could be “God of War: Ragnarök”.

    Billbil-kun, who has a track record of accurate leaks about Sony games, claims they have inside information suggesting that a PC version of the highly successful sequel to 2019’s “God of War” will be announced, “sometime in May”.

    They’re not sure about the release date yet, but they think we might get more details during the next PlayStation State of Play showcase, which might happen later this month.

    If the PC port is confirmed in May, people will be watching to see if Sony requires PC players to connect to the PlayStation Network (PSN). Previously, for “Ghost of Tsushima“, players were told they only needed to connect to PSN if they wanted to play the Legends multiplayer mode.

    But some players who can’t make a PSN account are getting their pre-orders refunded automatically.

  • Hades 2 Early Access: Help Shape the Fate of the Underworld!

    Hades 2 Early Access: Help Shape the Fate of the Underworld!

    In a surprising move, Hades 2 is now out on Steam and Epic Games Store as an early-access game. But what about Hades 2 on PS5?

    The game had a successful technical test recently, with fans loving it. This showed that the game’s development was going well. Soon after, Supergiant Games decided to release an early access version of Hades 2 on PC.

    If you’re a console player, especially on PlayStation, you might be wondering if Hades 2 will come to PS5. The answer is likely yes, especially since the first Hades game eventually came to PS5.

    But the big question is when Hades 2 will come to PS5. In this guide, we’ll explain that.

    Hades 2 Early Access

    A Hades 2 release date for PS5 is expected to be around 2025, possibly after or at the same time as the game’s full version release on PC. Supergiant Games plans to keep Hades 2 in early access until the end of 2024, so version 1.0 might come out in early 2025.

    Looking at how Hades 1 was released, the PS5 version might come out a few months after the PC release.

    For example, Hades 1 came out for PC and Switch in September 2020, but it didn’t come to PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S until a year later in August 2021. So, if Hades 2 follows a similar pattern, it might not be available on PS5 until late 2025 or early 2026.

    However, Supergiant Games has grown a bit since the success of Hades 1. While they’re still a small studio, they’ve gotten better at making these types of games.

    Plus, Hades 2 is more popular than ever, with over 100,000 players on its first day of early access. So, Supergiant Games probably wants to release Hades 2 on all platforms at the same time to keep their fans happy.

    Because of this, we think the Hades 2 release date for PS5 could be around the same time as the PC release in 2025, or maybe just a few months later.

    Will Hades 2 be on PS5, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox Series X?

    Supergiant Games plans to release Hades 2 on consoles, PC, and Mac, but they haven’t specified which consoles yet. In a frequently asked questions post on their Discord server, they said, “We expect for Hades 2 to eventually be available for PC, Mac, and console platforms (though cannot confirm which platforms yet).”

    Right now, you can only play the early access version of Hades 2 on PC through Steam and the Epic Games Store. It’s not available on consoles like PS5, Xbox Series X, or Nintendo Switch.

    Looking at how Hades 1 was released, it started with early access on PC and later came out on PC and Nintendo Switch. Then, it was released for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, and Xbox One, and even became available on Xbox Game Pass. Hades 1 also came out on iOS through Netflix this year, so it’s pretty much playable on every device.

    Considering this, it’s likely that Supergiant will aim to release Hades 2 on PS5, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch eventually.

    Since Hades 2 will probably be in early access until 2025, it might also come out on the rumored Nintendo Switch successor and the rumored PS5 Pro. However, it’s unlikely that Hades 2 will come to consoles while it’s still in early access, and console releases haven’t been mentioned in the Hades 2 roadmap so far.

  • Helldivers 2 Pulled From Steam: Mandatory PSN Link Sparks Outrage

    Helldivers 2 Pulled From Steam: Mandatory PSN Link Sparks Outrage

    Given the removal of the PlayStation Network (PSN) requirement, Helldivers 2 faces hurdles. The Sony-published game has been pulled from Steam in nearly 200 locations.

    Arrowhead, the developer, is attempting to bring it back to Valve’s platform. Sony’s initially excellent PC launch has now taken a tumble. Even if the PSN requirement is no longer in effect, the game has already taken substantial damage.

    Helldivers 2 Pulled From Steam

    Helldivers 2 developer and Arrowhead CEO Johan Pilestedt has given an update on the game’s Steam delisting, and it’s not good news. Arrowhead is still talking with Sony to try and reverse the decision, but Pilestedt says “It doesn’t look positive.”

    The game was originally removed from Steam in 177 territories by Sony, and three more countries were added to the list later: Estonia, Lithuania, and Latvia. These 180 territories can’t buy the game right now, but Arrowhead is trying to fix the issue with Sony.

    The upcoming PC port of Ghost of Tsushima also got delisted on Steam in these territories because of a requirement from the PlayStation Network for the multiplayer part of the game. Valve, the company behind Steam, noticed this and took action independently.

    Sony has now removed the PSN account linking requirement, and the negative reviews on Steam have mostly been reversed.

    But Helldivers 2 is still unavailable in many parts of the world. Pilestedt and Arrowhead are working to get it back, but it’s been a challenge. Sony’s actions with Helldivers 2 and Ghost of Tsushima show a step backward in the PC gaming market.

    Helldivers 2: Transforming Negative Reviews into a Heroic Mantle

    Over the weekend, Helldivers 2 announced that players would need to link their Steam accounts to PSN to keep playing. But this idea got a lot of negative feedback, so Sony quickly changed their minds. Still, the game’s overall score took a hit from the backlash.

    But Arrowhead CEO and Helldivers 2 creative director Johan Pilestedt isn’t upset. He’s turning the negative reviews into something positive by adding them to the game as a cape. This way, players can wear the cape and remember this moment whenever they play.

    And don’t worry, Pilestedt won’t charge players for the cape. People are even coming up with cool names for it, like “Voice of Democracy” and “We Dive Together”.

    We don’t know when the cape will be added, but for now, the community is working to raise the game’s review score back up.

    What is new in Diablo 4 Season 4?

    Diablo 4 Season 2 Boss Loot Table

    Diablo 4 Season 4’s Loot Reborn is all about items:

    • Affixes, which are special abilities on items, will have simpler descriptions and clearer effects.
    • Blacksmiths can now customize, swap, and improve your affixes using new items called Tempering Manual and Crafting Manual.
    • You’ll get Tempering Manuals when you fight alongside the Iron Wolves in Kehjistan.
    • Masterworking items will need a special material found in the new World Tier 4 challenge called The Pit of Artificers.
    • The Helltide event will have a new threat mechanic where players become Hell-marked, drawing the attention of a Hellborn enemy. Defeat them to start a special event and earn rewards.

    Diablo 4 Season 4 Trailer

    The Diablo 4 Season 4 is almost here, starting on Tuesday, May 14. The start time seems to be the usual 6pm BST / 1pm EDT / 10am PDT. Diablo 4 updates usually happen around this time, and Season 3 started at the same time.

    Blizzard hasn’t officially confirmed the start time for Season 4, but past updates have followed this schedule, so we expect the same unless Blizzard says otherwise.

    The new battle pass also begins at 6pm BST / 1pm EDT / 10am PDT, which aligns with the start time we’ve mentioned.

    There isn’t a proper trailer out yet for Diablo 4 Season 4, but there’s a Developer Update livestream from May 2 that gives about a seven-minute overview at the beginning. You can watch it below, but keep in mind it’s around an hour and a half long (excluding the first 20 minutes that haven’t been cut for some reason).

    Medieval 2 Total War Cheats: Unleash Your Inner Warlord

    Looking for some Medieval 2: Total War cheats? Using cheats in video games has been around for a while, especially in strategy games like this one. Not every game has cheats, though. For example, Civ 6 doesn’t have them.

    But Medieval 2: Total War is still popular, even though it’s an older game. It can be tough sometimes, so cheats can be a big help. You can use cheats to get more money or give your characters special traits.

  • College Football 25 Release Date Countdown: When Can You Hit the Gridiron?

    College Football 25 Release Date Countdown: When Can You Hit the Gridiron?

    EA Sports is gearing up to release College Football 25 very soon. They’ve been dropping hints every Friday that the game is almost here. Recently, they put up what seems to be a fancy version of the game on the PlayStation Store, for which fans can join a waitlist.

    EA also put up a countdown timer on their website, saying there will be more news about College Football 25 in a week.

    This timer ends on May 16 at 11 a.m. ET. Since EA already said the game will come out this summer, this countdown will likely lead to a big reveal trailer before the game comes out in July.

    The deluxe edition cover gives us a sneak peek at what to expect. It features stars like Donovan Edwards from Michigan, Quinn Ewers from Texas, and Travis Hunter from Colorado.

    This is the first time we have seen evidence of the over 10,000 deals EA has made with college football players nationwide for their names, images, and likenesses.

    College Football 25 Release Date

    EA Sports has put a countdown on the official webpage for EA Sports College Football 25. The big reveal is set to happen on May 16 at 11:00 AM ET. There are just a few days until some exciting news comes for college football fans!

    This morning, the PlayStation Store leaked the cover of the Deluxe Edition and a new screenshot. Both were taken down later on. The cover shows Donovan Edwards, Quinn Ewers, and Travis Hunter in the spotlight, but you can also spot Jalen Milroe, Carson Beck, and Quinshon Judkins.

    The first College Football 25 trailer gave us a sneak peek at what’s coming in the series’ return. It showed realistic mascots, jerseys, locker rooms, and stadiums. Plus, it revealed the first four teams: Michigan, Georgia, Florida, and Alabama.

    College Football 25 Players

    EA has been very cautious about getting real players for College Football 25, especially after the lawsuit we talked about earlier.

    They’re offering players who agree to be in the game $600 and a free copy of the game as thanks for using their likeness. And it seems to work – more than 10,000 college athletes have agreed to participate.

    But not everyone’s on board. For example, Texas quarterback Arch Manning, the nephew of NFL stars Peyton and Eli Manning, reportedly said no to being in College Football 25.

    When players decline, they’ll be replaced with generic characters, and there’s no way to change their names or looks. Still, having 10,000 real players is a big deal. EA aims to have entire teams for every school in the game, and they’ve got 87% of real athletes signed up.

  • Is Deep Rock Galactic Crossplay? Rock and Stone with Friends Across Platforms!

    Is Deep Rock Galactic Crossplay? Rock and Stone with Friends Across Platforms!

    Curious if Deep Rock Galactic lets players on different platforms play together? This game by Ghost Ship Games got super popular on PC three years ago. People loved teaming up to mine, fix stuff, and fight aliens. Its mix of mining, shooting, and cool characters made it a hit.

    Last year, it came to consoles, reaching even more players. But can you play with friends on different systems? Let’s find out about Deep Rock Galactic crossplay.

    Is Deep Rock Galactic Crossplay?

    Is Deep Rock Galactic Cross Platform
    Is Deep Rock Galactic Cross Platform

    Deep Rock Galactic lets players on Xbox and PC team up, but there’s a catch. PC players must have bought the game from the Windows store to join Xbox players.

    You can also team up across different PlayStation generations. So, someone on PS5 can play with a friend on PS4.

    But, if you’re on PC or Xbox, you can’t play with friends on PlayStation. It’s a bummer because Deep Rock Galactic would be perfect for bringing gamers together across platforms.

    Is Deep Rock Galactic Cross Platform?

    As previously said, Deep Rock Galactic is a cross-platform game, meaning it can be played on a variety of platforms including Windows, Xbox One, and PlayStation.

    Is Deep Rock Galactic Cross-gen?

    Absolutely! Deep Rock Galactic is a cross-gen game. That means you can play it with friends, even if you’re on different devices. For instance, if you have a PS5, you can still play with friends who have a PS4, as long as everyone has the same version of the game.

    This also works on Xbox! You’ll be able to team up in Deep Rock Galactic between Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S.

    Could Deep Rock Galactic Support Crossplay in the Future?

    Here’s the scoop on Deep Rock Galactic’s crossplay from an old blog post released a year ago. The post talked about Season 2 but also spilled the beans on crossplay.

    The developers said, “Console launch won’t have cross-play between PlayStation and Steam or Xbox, but it’ll support cross-gen play between PS4 and PS5. We’re still figuring out how to do crossplay, but we can’t promise anything – we’re a small team.”

    It sounds like the developers want to add crossplay, but since they’re a small team, there’s no set release date yet. We’ll just have to wait and see!

    Can you play For Honor with people on other consoles? For Honor, a game by Ubisoft, came out in 2017. Despite its age, it still has many fans who love its intense combat and different game modes.

    While it does have a single-player campaign, most people stick around for the multiplayer. If you want to fight with players on different consoles, here’s what you should know about For Honor’s crossplay.

    Back in 2017, For Honor didn’t let players on different platforms play together. But things are different now.

    In 2024, For Honor is fully crossplay-compatible. That means players on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC can all play together. Ubisoft made this happen in two steps. First, they made sure players from different platforms could connect easily.

    Then, they worked on improving matchmaking so that players could find matches quickly and easily no matter which platform they were on.

    Does for Honor Have Cross Progression?

    For Honor lets you play with people on different consoles, but your progress doesn’t move between platforms. This means if you switch consoles, you can’t pick up where you left off. Not many games do this yet, but it’s getting more popular as technology improves.

    For Honor is still one of the top crossplay games, but you’re stuck with one platform. You can’t transfer unlocks or progress between consoles.

    How to Play for Honor Cross-platform?

    For Honor has crossplay turned on automatically. So, if you’re new and start playing, you’ll match up with players from other platforms. But if you prefer to only play with people on your platform, you can turn off crossplay:

    1. Go to the main menu of the game.
    2. Open the Options menu.
    3. Select ‘Online.’
    4. Untick the ‘Crossplay’ option.

    That’s all! Now you’ll only play with players on your chosen platform.

    Can You Turn Off Crossplay in for Honor?

    Here are the steps to turn off crossplay in For Honor:

    1. Open the game and go to the main menu.
    2. Look for the in-game menu.
    3. Choose the Options tab.
    4. Go to the Online section.
    5. Find the Crossplay option and uncheck the box to turn it off.

    For Honor Hardware Requirements

    Playing games together across different platforms, like PC, PlayStation, and Xbox, requires careful thinking about each system’s abilities. For Honor wants all players to have a fair chance, so it’s important that every system can handle the game well. Here’s what you need to think about:

    • CPU: Make sure your system can handle all the game’s actions and online play smoothly.
    • GPU: Your graphics card should give you clear images and help you react quickly.
    • RAM: Have enough memory so the game runs without any delays.
    • Storage: Make sure you have space for updates that bring crossplay features. Make sure your system meets the minimum requirements set by Ubisoft for a good cross-platform experience.

  • Gray Zone Warfare Hotfix 3: The Fix is In! Crashes & Missing Gear Addressed

    Gray Zone Warfare Hotfix 3: The Fix is In! Crashes & Missing Gear Addressed

    MADFINGER Games just released an update called Hotfix Three for Gray Zone Warfare, less than a week after the game launched. This update includes some big improvements.

    Before this, they released another update last week. It lets players change factions by starting over. It also tried to fix some big problems, like when some players’ characters didn’t have heads. But that problem didn’t go away for everyone.

    Now, with Hotfix three, they fixed the headless problem and another issue where players lost their stuff when they joined a server again. It’s not certain if the headless problem will happen again, but things look better now.

    The update also fixes many other annoying bugs. For example, it now lets players cancel matchmaking, and it stops DLC clothes from showing up in the wrong place. Plus, it should make the game crash less often, which will make it run smoother overall.

    Gray Zone Warfare Hotfix 3 Patch Notes

    Gray Zone Warfare Hotfix 3
    Gray Zone Warfare Hotfix 3

    Fixes

    • [Fixed] An issue that prevented players from canceling matchmaking.
    • [Fixed] A crash in the friends panel when searching for friends.
    • [Fixed] A common ui crash.
    • [Fixed] Several other, more general client and server crashes.
    • [Fixed] An issue where players lost their head, clothes, or containers after rejoining a server.
    • [Fixed] An issue where the dlc apparel would appear in the stash after claiming.

    Changes

    • [Changed] Optimized server connections to prioritize joining already running servers.

    There’s a chance that the game’s performance might get better during its early access development. We’re already seeing improvements with a game called No Rest for the Wicked.

    But for now, there’s not much you can do to fix it yourself. Even if you lower the quality of the graphics, it only helps a little. I tried it and noticed a small decrease in the game freezing, but you can’t completely fix the problem on your right now.

    With that in mind, I’d recommend the following settings for Gray Zone Warfare:

    Setting Level
    Global illumination Low
    Shadow quality Low
    Texture resolution Medium
    Effects quality Medium
    Reflections quality Low
    Foliage quality Low
    Post-processing Medium
    Motion blur Off
    Sharpening 0
    Anti-aliasing/upscaling method DLSS on Balanced or TSR on High
    Nvidia DLSS Frame Generation On, if supported

    The latest update has changed how players join game servers. Now, instead of all starting at once, you’ll join servers that are already running. This should stop the problem of everyone ending up in empty servers.

    This fix comes quickly after the launch of Gray Zone Warfare, which has been a bit bumpy. The game is still popular since its surprise release last week.

    However, some players are having trouble with tricky tasks, like finding keys. With the server change, you’ll have more teammates around to help you find the keys you need.

  • Hades 2 Release Date PS5: Escape the Underworld on PlayStation This Year?

    Hades 2 Release Date PS5: Escape the Underworld on PlayStation This Year?

    Hades 2 is set to come to consoles, including hopefully PS5, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch. But it’s still too soon to know for sure which consoles it will be on and when. Right now, it’s only available in early access on PC.

    It’s a bit disappointing that it’s not on consoles yet, but Supergiant, the game’s developer, has promised that they plan to bring it to other platforms. They’re just not sure which ones yet. We’re still waiting for more details about when Hades 2 will be available on consoles.

    Hades 2 Release Date PS5

    Hades 2 Release Date
    Hades 2 Release Date

    We think Hades 2 will come out around March 2025 because the early access version is out now. This guess is based on how long it took for the first Hades game to go from early access to full release—it was about 22 months.

    In September 2023, Supergiant, the company behind the game, said that Hades 2 will have as much stuff in early access as the first game did when it first came out. That’s why Hades 2 isn’t available in early access yet. Even though the team wants to release it early, they need more time to make sure there’s enough cool stuff in the game.

    Like the first game, we think Hades 2 will be available on PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X/S, and PS5. But the console versions might come out later, like they did with the original Hades.

    Hades 2 Story

    In Hades 2, players control Melinoë, who is Hades’ daughter and Zagreus’ sister from the first game. The big bad guy this time is Cronos, a titan who escapes from the Underworld to get back at the gods of Olympus who locked him up.

    Now, Cronos is a mix of two Greek characters: the titan Cronos, who is Zeus and Hades’ dad, and Chronos, who represents time. Greeks often thought these two were the same. It’s a bit confusing!

    The game takes place in the Underworld again but with new places, scarier enemies, and more excitement.

    Even if you didn’t play the first Hades game, you can still enjoy Hades 2. But there will be lots of nods to the first game for fans. Supergiant, the company behind the game, promises even more Greek mythology and culture to make the world feel rich and exciting.

    We don’t know a ton about Hades 2 yet, but from the trailer, it seems like the gameplay will be similar to the first one. It’s still a roguelike game with an overhead view. It looks like the Boons system is back, but this time, a new set of gods will give you power-ups.

    Melinoë, the main character, focuses more on magic during fights compared to Zagreus. Supergiant calls her “an immortal witch and sorceress” with powerful magic skills and deadly weapons. You can see her magic in the trailer, especially when she fights Hecate and in the gameplay.

    Hades 2 Trailer

    The first and only trailer for Hades 2 was revealed during The Game Awards 2022. It starts with an animated scene showing Melinoë, the main character, battling Hecate, a Greek goddess known for witchcraft.

    Hecate seems to be guiding Melinoë in some way. After Melinoë loses to Hecate, they both say “Death to Cronos,” talking about Cronos, the big boss of the Titans in Greek stories, who is also Zeus and Hades’ dad.

    In the second part of the trailer, we see gameplay footage, showing new places players can explore.

    It also introduces some gods players will meet, like Apollo, Nemesis, and Moros, who is Nyx’s son. The trailer ends with a picture of Hades, the god of the Underworld, in chains, warning about Cronos. Melinoë promises to save him.

  • Modern Warfare 3: The Return of a Legend – Infamous Weapon Makes a Comeback!

    Modern Warfare 3: The Return of a Legend – Infamous Weapon Makes a Comeback!

    Fans of Modern Warfare 2 can now enjoy a blast from the past with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3‘s latest addition. The game has introduced the JAK Wardens conversion kit, which transforms the Lockwood Mk2 marksman rifle into the famous Akimbo Model 1887 shotgun.

    This update came with Season 3 Reloaded of MW3, bringing new modes and maps. MW3 has been getting a lot of support after its launch, especially with this update that lets developers add new versions of existing weapons.

    Players need to complete five weekly challenges from Week 5 to get the JAK Wardens. Once unlocked, players can apply the kit to the Lockwood Mk2, turning it into a close match for the iconic Model 1887 shotgun.

    However, it’s not as overpowered as the original Model 1887 from MW2, which some players might remember could eliminate enemies from across the map.

    Recently, there was a bug with the JAK Wardens that caused bullets to travel incorrectly when both shotguns were fired at once. Developers fixed this quickly with a hotfix released on May 3. They also mentioned they’re working on fixing another bug in Warzone where reloads are continuously canceled for users of Automatic Tactical Sprint.

    While the JAK Wardens are fun to use, they’re not as powerful as another conversion kit that turned the Haymaker shotgun into a beast with a 60-round capacity. This kit has been nerfed several times since its release to balance gameplay.

    In addition to these updates, MW3 has also released the Devin Booker bundle, a collaboration with an NBA star. It’s available now for 2,400 CoD Points. Fans waiting for Kevin Durant’s bundle will have to wait a bit longer for it to return to the in-game store.

  • Super GT Driver Confirms: Motegi is Back in Gran Turismo!

    Super GT Driver Confirms: Motegi is Back in Gran Turismo!

    The popular Twin Ring Motegi circuit is coming back to the Gran Turismo game series. Takayuki Aoki, a long-time racer in Super GT, shared this news.

    Motegi, now called Mobility Resort Motegi, was in Gran Turismo games like GT4 and GT5 as a paid add-on. But it wasn’t in GT Sport. The oval track at Motegi was special. It had a 1.5-mile oval on top of a road course.

    This layout made it unique. The real Gran Turismo Cafe is also there, but it doesn’t look like the one in GT7.

    After GT5 came out, a big earthquake hit Japan. Motegi might have been damaged, so the oval track wasn’t used for races after that. But Motegi still hosts races for Super GT and Super Formula.

    Even though Super Formula works with Gran Turismo, Motegi wasn’t in the game. But Aoki says that might change. A fan asked if Motegi is coming to Gran Turismo, and Aoki said someone working on the game told him they’re making it happen.

    Also Read:

    This doesn’t mean Motegi will be in the game, or when it’ll come. GT7 has been out for a while, and updates to add new tracks are rare. But it’s likely Motegi is on the list of tracks Polyphony Digital, the game’s developer, wants to add. And any damage to the oval track probably won’t stop it from being in the game.
