Storyline News, Tips, Tricks & Ideas

Assassin’s Creed recently launched a brand new installment into the marketplace this past month. With Assassin’s Creed Mirage, the developers returned to the more classic style of Assassin’s Creed gameplay. It’s a smaller storyline and doesn’t feature the massive open-world exploration that some of the previous RPG releases contained. So, chances are you’ve already finished the game and are waiting for something new to enjoy. If you want to stick around with the Mirage installment a bit longer, we have word that an update is coming to the game next month that might entice another playthrough. 

Vampire: The Masquerade publisher Renegade Games shared a single two-page spread late last week that caught some in the tabletop role-playing game’s community by surprise. In it, Paradox Interactive’s World of Darkness studio invoked a sensitive role-playing concept called “bleed,” sparking commentary and, in some cases, outrage. On Wednesday, World of Darkness clarified that material with the release of more pages of content — and, once again, the promise of more thorough safety materials to be published at a later time.

Beating the All-Devouring Narwhal boss in is a crucial step for various reasons, be they progressing through the main campaign or gathering items that come as potential drops for certain characters. This boss can drop a material for Furina in , for instance, which makes the encounter an obligatory process when refining her as a character and leveling her Talents. The All-Devouring Narwhal is an immense whale-like creature that has enlarged due to recent events in the story and is now a threat to the region of Fontaine itself. The creature is directly linked to a part of the prophecy in the Nation of Justice.

The long-delayed Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is finally seeing release in February 2024, and fans just got another look at the game via the first in a series of developer diaries. That new video not only reveals new gameplay footage and the fact that Metropolis will be twice the size of Arkham City’s Gotham map, it also addresses perhaps the single biggest mystery surrounding the plot of the game. Namely, how exactly can a team this small and underpowered hope to defeat the entire Justice League?

The side story presented in the recently released includes some welcome new gameplay elements, but the live-action cabaret is a gimmick that feels a bit creepy for many players. The new Daidoji Agent fighting style and the group battles available at The Castle seem to be universally well-received. Unlike these additions, the use of live-action video footage of real models for Club Heavenly in Sotenbori and Castle Cabaret within the Kijin Clan’s opulent offshore pleasure palace is more divisive. Some players may be uncomfortable playing the game in front of family and friends, thanks to these voyeuristic experiences.

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is nearly here as it recently just went gold. Soon we’ll soon get to dive into the world of Pandora as a part of the Na’vi.

Blizzard may have turned Diablo 4 around in the last month, but there's still plenty of work to do before the release of its first expansion, Vessel of Hatred.

Gen V’s first six episodes are remarkably tight. The Boys’ spinoff series immediately establishes its place in the larger universe, and quickly introduces us to an entire cast of characters, a unique superhero university, and a secret conspiracy in just a few short hours. Despite its relatively large cast of characters, Gen V manages to give each one time to shine in their own storylines, letting them all have problems — both personal and superpowered — that just make for great television. All the while, all of the teen drama seamlessly filters back into the conspiracy thriller literally underneath the school, as the kids discover the mysteries of The Woods.

The final season of Game of Thrones remains one of the most divisive ends to a series in TV history, and it’s not just viewers who wished for a different ending. Lena Headey has shared her dream curtain call for her character Cersei Lannister, and we’ve got to admit, it sounds pretty epic.

To say that Alan Wake 2 hooked me at the outset would be an understatement. The survival-horror masterpiece was gripping, surreal, and creepy from the second Remedy Entertainment gave me control of a naked man who had just crawled out of a supernatural lake and found himself lost in the woods and hunted by a maniacal cult. But one sequence, a little more than halfway through the story, convinced me that I was truly playing a game for the ages.
