Albion Online Introduces Another Upcoming Feature for Open World Exploration - Tracking
21.07.2023 - 00:31 / mmorpg.com
The second in a series of new devtalks and previews of features in the works for Albion Online, the team has announced that Tracking will be a new open-world activity option.
Game Director Robin Henkys is back again to talk about the new feature. If you enjoy having new ways to explore and take advantage of the environment in the open world, you should pay attention to the announcement of this new feature. The team has focused a lot to make open world activities more fun, more plentiful, and more open to solo players and groups and players of different levels.
The goals of tracking will be to have more players search the open world to find targets. In adding this, the team is looking for more people to be roaming around the open world and exploring. For those who want challenges and PVP, engaging in tracking will also encourage chance encounters, but in introducing this feature, they do note that “the focus is less on direct PVP combat” and more on having more players out there.

If you find your target, congratulations, you're likely up for a fight. Be careful, because if your group is too big, you might scare the target off and lengthen the

Microsoft Teams brings new spatial audio feature for immersive meetings on desktops
Earlier in April, Microsoft announced that it was testing its new feature called spatial audio for the desktop teams version. Now, Microsoft has availed this feature for all desktop users on Windows and macOS. The idea of this feature was to bring immersive sounds during virtual meetings. During the call, each caller receives a unique position on the screen that corresponds to their location with the spatial audio feature that ensures the voices sound spread out during a call. That means you will hear the sounds like how you would in real life.

Open World PS5, PS4 Gacha Tower of Fantasy Is a 12-Month Console Exclusive | Push Square
You can already play Tower of Fantasy on PC or a smartphone, but Sony has been heavily promoting the PS5 and PS4 port, and that’s because the open world gacha is a timed console exclusive. The small print at the end of the game’s latest launch trailer notes that the PlayStation version is deploying “at least 12 months earlier than any other console”. This is boilerplate language for a timed console exclusive, as we’ve also seen with titles like Forspoken and Deathloop.
