Xal'atath Confirmed the Harbinger, Will Have a Unique Rivalry with Alleria Windrunner

Bayonetta series director Hideki Kamiya wanted to make nine entries in the franchise, and has suggested he probably shouldn't work with other famed Japanese game developers.

Naughty Dog finally officially announced The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered last week, and among its several enhancements and additions, the one that has perhaps caught the of most people is No Return, its new roguelike mode. The developer has said more details on its levels, mechanics, and playable characters will be revealed ahead of the remaster’s launch, though it seems some of those details have emerged ahead of time.

The Last of Us Part II is being Remastered for the PlayStation 5, developers Naughty Dog have announced. The studio is promising a slew of technological improvements, new game modes, and other additions in a bid to make the remaster for a game, that came out on the PS4 in 2020, worth picking up on the PS5. Notably, the sequel to The Last of Us is playable on Sony's current-gen console via backwards compatibility and had already received a PS5 update in 2021 that added support for 60fps. The Last of Us Part II Remastered will be coming to the PS5 on January 19, 2024, Naughty Dog has confirmed.

Not a lot of things split gaming audiences the way the topic of level scaling does, but given the fact that there’s plenty of people who do enjoy what it brings to the table, having it as an option in a game can never really be a bad thing. Happily enough, Square Enix has confirmed that the upcoming Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth will indeed feature that option.

Season 23 of Destiny 2 is on the horizon, currently slated to roll out on November 28, meaning a new season pass will be available for players to work their way through. This can be one of the game's best ways to get a hold of exotic weapons — some of the game's most powerful firearms — but as you can imagine you'll have to work pretty hard to get there. 

Right in the feels.

We haven’t heard a peep out of Rocksteady Studios and WB Games about Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League since the game was delayed by nearly a year into February 2024, and questions about what shape the title is in have become increasingly louder, especially as its launch draws closer. Not long from now, however, we’ll be getting out first update on it in several months.

The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes director Francis Lawrence says he’s very excited about his upcoming BioShock movie. He's helming the game adaptation of the beloved first-person shooter game for Netflix with Blade Runner 2049 screenwriter Michael Green writing the film. 

As Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth moves towards a grander adventure for the follow-up to Remake, players will have more ways to build their party of heroes as they take on greater challenges. But with the sequel, the creative team behind the game has also revealed that players will have more ways to customize the look of their squad as well. Reported by French website Final Fantasy Dream, Rebirth game director Naoki Hamaguchi and producer Yoshinori Kitase stated during a recent appearance at Paris Game Week 2023 that Rebirth will have more costumes for your favorite FFVII characters to try out as they explore the world beyond Midgar.

A year ago it looked like Ubisoft's ardor for NFTs was cooling, but now it seems that the heat is back on. The Assassin's Creed publisher has entered into a new partnership with blockchain gaming platform Immutable «to create a new gaming experience that will further unlock the potential of Web3.»

I was already riled up enough when yesterday I wrote about my frustrations with BioWare's endless cryptic teasing of its upcoming games, so it's probably a good thing for my blood pressure that it wasn't until today that I realised the studio is monetising them too. 

The first Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer will premiere next month, Rockstar Games has confirmed.
