Another weekend means another batch of streaming recommendations, and there's plenty of variety to choose from this week. Julia Roberts, Ethan Hawke, and Mahershala Ali star in new Netflix thriller Leave the World Behind, while Todd Haynes' May December, which is already generating Oscar buzz for actor Charles Melton, has made its way to the UK via Sky Cinema. If you're in the mood for something a little more festive and lighthearted, try animated movie Merry Little Batman or Christmas rom-com Your Christmas or Mine 2, both on Prime Video.
Here's 22 minutes of Dave the Diver dev's PvPvE zombie adventure Nakwon
21.11.2023 - 21:53 / eurogamer.net
Back in September, Dave the Diver studio Mintrocket unveiled Nakwon: Last Paradise, a 16-player stealth-survival extraction game set on the streets of Seoul amid an undead apocalypse, and now — with a public pre-alpha playtest looming — it's shared 22 minutes of gameplay.
Nakwon is a game of two parts; the primary focus is Scouting, requiring players (either solo or in a team of two) to leave the titular safe zone in order to scavenge for resources out in the city. Being a PvPvE experience, the threats outside are twofold: there're the zombies — which can't be killed, meaning stealth is key to survival — alongside other human scavengers, who'll either need to be avoided or set upon with makeshift weaponry (firearms are a scare commodity).
Players can come and go as they like, meaning once they're satisfied with their haul, they return to the safe zone, where Nakwon's more simulation-focused activities occur. Here, hard-gained resources can be sold for money, which is used to increase Citizen Grades and secure better priveliges and benefits. «Every day, you must decide whether to go out for Scouting or staying inside,» Mintrocket explained previously. «But, you must consistently secure more food to avoid starvation and make the best choice whenever an unexpected event occurs.»
Nakwon's announcement in September was accompanying by a brief teaser trailer, but developer Mintrocket has now shared 22 minutes of early gameplay footage specifically highlighting the Scouting side of play. The trailer arrives alongside the news that Nakwon: Lost Paradise will get its first public pre-alpha playtest on Wednesday, 28th November at 5pm PST (that's 1am on 30th November if you're in the UK), running until Sunday 3rd December at 11:59pm PST. The playtest is free,available via Steam, and places are unlimited.
“As we continue to improve Nakwon's multiplayer experience, we hope community collaboration will be a core part of our development process," game director Jang Kyoung Han wrote in a statement accompanying today's news. «We're still very early on in playable development — this playtest is by no means representative of our planned final product — but we're excited to share our journey with players and hear their initial feedback.»
A «more robust» public test is planned for some time in 2024, after Mintrocket has implemented player feedback from this initial session.

You'd Have to Be Insane to Watch This Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth 10 Minute Story Trailer | Push Square
RGG Studio's knack for storytelling is legendary at this point, and so we'd actually advise against watching this new video for Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. This is an extended, ten-minute story trailer for the upcoming RPG, and while we think it focuses on the early hours of Ichiban's next adventure, this is exactly the kind of narrative that you'll want to experience as fresh as possible when the game comes out.
