Krafton – the publisher behind PUBG: Battlegrounds and Striking Distance Studios' The Callisto Protocol – and Smash Legends developer 5minlabs have partnered up to release Kill the Crows, a «gratuitously brutal action» game, and you can try it yourself now via a new Steam demo.
Described as «Hotline Miami in a Wild West setting», the demo is available now with a Smash Legends coupon crossover event" running until 1st August.
«In Kill The Crows, players step into the dusty, spurred boots of a gunslinger named Isabella as she carves a path of bloody revenge across a twisted, lo-fi take on the Wild West,» the team explains.
«This is no ordinary Western tale, however. Our courageous heroine faces off against hordes of enemies that have all been transformed into crow-like creatures. The detail of that transformation is one of the mysteries players will explore as they delve deeper into the story.»
In a world where «even a single stray bullet can end Isabella's journey», you'll need to move quickly and instinctively as «the screen becomes more and more crowded with foes and flying bullets».
Players who score 50 cumulative kills during the event will unlock a code that treats them to 1000 credits, a special enhancement box, and «one limited edition event icon» to use in the PvP action brawler, Smash Legends.
Kill the Crows is set to release next month in August 2023.
Krafton is set to launch its «first Canadian AAA game studio». Led by former Ubisoft game director, Patrik Méthé — «a prominent figure with over 20 years of experience in leadership roles on some of the world’s most renowned franchises» – the studio is set on hiring 150 people over the next three years, including positions in animation, programming, and HR.

Final Fantasy 7 Ever Crisis is set to release on iOS and Android on 7th September.
As you go through the Gauntlet of Shar in Baldur’s Gate 3, the final area beyond will be revealed to you: Shadowfell. This is the domain of Lady Shar, Shadowheart’s goddess, and at the end of it will be the Nightsong, what was believed to be a fabled, and it’s actually an Aasimar, captured by the Absolutes to ensure Ketheric Thorm could have immortality.
Your first major goal in Baldur’s Gate 3 is to defeat the three Goblin Camp Leaders. The three leaders are True Soul Gut, Minthara and Dror Ragzlin. Each leader is more difficult than the last and defeating them while they’re in the center of the castle surrounded by minions can be extremely difficult. To make each fight easier, you’ll need to trick each leader somehow — by luring them to different locations, you’ll be able to ambush them, making their battle so much easier to handle.
As noted by SteamDB creator Pavel Djundik, Valve has requested that all Dota 2 custom game makers cease real-money monetization in their creations by August 17. A number of popular modes for the juggernaut MOBA have already gone offline in response.
