Lost Ark August 2023 Patch Notes Released - Hardcore Gamer

Seeing as Gamescom is now over and fans still haven’t gotten any news about Hollow Knight: Silksong, it’s looking like metroidvania enthusiast still have a while to wait until they can get their hands on what many suspect will be the genre’s next top-tier release. That’s not necessarily the case though. Blasphemous 2 hit a few days ago to great effect, and now Fearie Afterlight is on its way to PC and Switch sometime next month.

Infinity Strash: Dragon Quest The Adventure of Dai was announced last year and the launch date is growing ever closer. Dragon Quest: The Adventures of Dai debuted as a manga back in 1991 and has more recently been adapted into an anime. Players of the mobile game Dragon Quest Tact are likely familiar with Dai thanks to a couple crossover events that occurred over the last couple years. Infinity Strash: Dragon Quest The Adventures of Dai is an action RPG based on the manga and anime. In this upcoming game players will be able to reenact events from The Adventures of Dai. Those who have been curious about the different game modes and what this title will look like in action will have their curiosity at least partially satisfied by the action packed trailer before.

Ultra Pro Wrestling’s showcase has dropped and with it comes the first in-game footage and a metric-ton of roster announcements. We got to see intros that pay homage to Virtual Pro Wrestling 2’s full walkouts from the backstage area to the ring with “Blue Collar” Bill Dollar facing “Sir” Oliver Buckingham. The light and hard strikes and grapples were shown off and the strikes definitely have the same feel as No Mercy in terms of reactions and selling. The grapples seem a tad floaty, but this is pre-alpha footage and that can always be tightened up. The go-behind animation definitely needs some work and the snap German based on one of Dr. Death’s variants in the Aki engine looks pretty good overall.

Lost Ark’s move to a single European server region is coming on August 30th, and the team has details on how it will all work.

NHL 24 will be launching on October 6 for PlayStation 4|5, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One and details have emerged about the technical aspect for the game already. Today, EA Sports has released the first Deep Dive trailer for World of Chel. If you are unaware about the World of Chel, this is the game that surrounds a created avatar as players work to get the avatar to the best of their ability. The development team is touting this year’s World of Chel as the most dynamic version of the mode to date. Customization and personalization play a key element in this mode as well, and working as a team is extremely important especially in the EASHL.

The problem with gods is they never give a clear indication of what it is they want.  Good times and clear skies with just the right amount of rain?  The gods are happy and all is at it should be.  Storms tear through and decimate the settlement?  The gods are angry at… something.  Could be anything, really.  In the case of the builder his tribe decided that the things he was creating had to be the cause, so they promptly exiled him to a faraway island.  The small tribe living there took him in on the condition he gets to work, and seeing as his skill is throwing things together it’s not long before his new home starts getting a bit more lively.

Next week marks the start of one of the biggest Gamescoms in recent years, as Nintendo, Xbox and many more AAA and indie developers and publishers will be attending the European video game trade fair.

The shuttering of Mega Man X Dive meant that the long-running international mobile and PC game could seemingly be lost to time alongside so many other free-to-play games over the years. Fortunately, Capcom announced the debut of Mega Man X DIVE Offline earlier this year to keep the game alive and playable for years to come. Having played it on PC, I found DIVE to be an interesting what-if kind of game because of how it was structured. You had stages and missions set throughout the history of the X series, but using a high-fidelity polygonal art style that resembled the one used for Maverick Hunter X on the PSP — only if it was more modern interpretation of that art style.

It’s been over 20 years since the Jet Set Radio series has seen a new entry and supplied gaming with a style-filled, funky adrenaline rush. Thankfully, Team Reptile has been hard at work for years to create a spiritual successor that plays some of the hits of the past, but does its own thing as well in Bomb Rush Cyberfunk. Since the moment it was first shown off in motion, it was clear that that the team was looking to take the best of what worked about Jet Set Radio and Jet Set Radio Future (which we covered in our Graveyard) and improve upon it when possible, and it looks we’ve seeing that come to fruition here.

Splashback real quick to 2015 when Splatoon launched on the Wii U which quickly became a brand new hit for Nintendo. A sequel released years later on the Switch delivering exciting new content. Now, we are already on the third installation of the series. Splatoon 3 debuted in September of last year and because an anniversary is approaching soon, Nintendo revealed what’s in store for the celebration.

Rocksteady has announced the release date for the Switch version of its Batman: Arkham Trilogy, out 13th October.

 Lost Ark ’s August update, Wield the Storm, is coming tomorrow, with the Aeromancer advanced class, new Legion and Guardian raids, some progression events and several major reworks.
