Aeon Must Die hit the headlines last year after starring in a much-watched Sony PlayStation State of Play broadcast. The trailer for the game shown during the August 2020 State of Play, below, depicts a visually arresting beat-’em-up that caught the attention of PlayStation fans. But immediately following Aeon Must Die’s high-profile video showcase airing, a version of the announcement trailer appeared on YouTube accompanied by a description alleging it had been created “with abuse, manipulation, theft” at Estonian studio Limestone Games....

While there’s little in the way of specifics to accompany today’s announcement, EA has confirmed the third-person action-adventure will once again follow the story of Fallen Order protagonist Cal Kestis, albeit five years after the events of the first game. The teaser trailer released alongside today’s announcement doesn’t reveal a whole lot more, but we do see Cal, lightsaber in hand and accompanied by trusty robot sidekick BD-1, flexing his action muscles as he remains on the run from the Empire....

This takes place long before the real ending will occur - meaning you can see an alternative outcome to how the story ends. That said, you only have a small window to watch it - and doing so will grant you a Trophy / Achievement for your trouble. This page also discusses a theory about the main Far Cry 6 ending, too. Either way, this page will contain spoilers - so only read on if you want to discuss both yourselves!...

Many potential attendees were put off by the lack of safety measures, but following the policy update others are now refusing to attend due to the mask requirement. FaZe Clan is organising its own event in San Diego at the same time, and its co-owner Nickmercs has stated masks won’t be required. Watch on YouTube Eurogamer Newscast: Are Sony and Microsoft’s squabbles over Call of Duty just business as usual?...

Chief among them is a nerf to the goalkeepers, which are particularly powerful in this year’s game (check out Eurogamer’s FIFA 22 review for more). The patch reduces the effectiveness of goalkeepers when diving for top corner shots taken from inside the penalty box. This change, EA said, specifically applies to shots taken within 37 feet/11.27 meters of the goalkeeper. The patch also adds goalkeeper animations that could occur when a keeper is attempting to save a high finesse shot....

It’s a feature a long time coming for the FIFA series, which has up to this point limited matchmaking to players on a single platform. Here’s how crossplay works in FIFA 23: Crossplay works in all FIFA 23 1v1 modes at launch, including FIFA Ultimate Team (FUT Online Friendlies, FUT Rivals, FUT Champions and FUT Online Draft), Online Seasons, and Online Friendlies, on both generations of FIFA: PS4 and Xbox One matchmake with each other, and the current generation of consoles - PS5, Xbox Series X and S, as well as PC and Google Stadia - connect in a separate crossplay ecosystem....

In an interview with Japanese site Weekly Bunshun (via Siliconera), Yoshida distanced his work on the MMORPG from the Metaverse. “To me, I see the Metaverse as ‘a system that replaces reality with a virtual world.’ So I don’t think the Metaverse has anything in common with entertainment,” he said. “In the Metaverse I’m thinking of, people will be able to use an avatar in virtual reality, and take a stroll in Shinjuku or do shopping, just like in real life....

While the game is reasonably good at dishing EXP in line with the difficulty of the situations you’re facing in the story, there’s many ways to increase your EXP gains easily, making the roadtrip a little smoother and late game dungeons and tombs easier to tackle. Once you’re done reading, you might also be interesting ways to get fast Gil and fast AP, too. Different locations provide more of a boost than others, but as with most things in life quality comes with a price; caravans give you a 1....

The new sales milestone was announced today via the official Final Fantasy 15 Twitter account. While a sizable number, it’s interesting to compare it to the 11.8m copies sold by the Square Enix-published Rise of the Tomb Raider, launched back in 2015, or the 14.5m copies sold by the 2013 Tomb Raider reboot - especially in light of Square Enix ditching its western game studios, such as Tomb Raider’s Crystal Dynamics....

In each of the world’s warring kingdoms is a Dominant, an individual blessed with the power to summon dangerous Eikons. The new trailer, called Ambition, introduces two new Dominants: Dion Lesage, the Dominant of Bahamut, and Barnabas Tharmr, The Dominant of Odin. Check it out below. FINAL FANTASY XVI “AMBITION” As detailed on the Square Enix blog, Dion Lesage leads the Dragoons - fitting as Bahamut is the Dragon King....

As previously announced, this new Yuffie story will launch alongside Intergrade on 10th June as a separate purchase. FF7R owners can upgrade to the Intergrade edition for free, but not if it’s the PS Plus version, and only if they have a PS5 with a disc drive if upgrading a physical PS4 copy. Alternatively, you can just buy Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade on PS5 as a separate purchase, and there’s also a digital deluxe edition with a soundtrack, art and a bonus weapon for INTERmission if you purchase that too....

The clips below, posted on Reddit (thanks,MP1st), show what appears to be a match of Conquest in the Grand Bazaar map, filled with infantry and vehicles. Another clip shows off the loadout system, along with weapon attachments for the F2000 and SMAW rocket launcher. The final clip shows some tank gameplay in action. There’s still no word on when the rest of us will be able to play it just yet, but we’ll keep you updated....

Shared as part of a collection of teasers for the service’s new season, this clip was brief but enticing. It comes with the obligatory dramatic music as it shows us snippets of Pedro Pascal’s Joel running through the streets with someone who I won’t name to avoid spoilers, Bella Ramsay as Ellie and Nick Offerman as Bill. While we don’t see any of the series’ infected enemies, we do get a brief snap of some fungal like spores on a wall, hinting at the devastation the world is in....

Astria Ascending casts players as one of the eight demigods - guardians of Harmony charged with protecting the world of Orcanon from the mysterious Noises. There’s plenty more scene-setting in the trailer below - including mention of the delightfully named “Harmelon”, an instinct-suppressing melon used to maintain harmony across the land - but the gist is that it’s a side-on, turn-based RPG with some very nice hand-drawn art. Kazushige Nojima and Hitoshi Sakimoto - who discuss the game in a separate video - are onboard as scenarist and composer respectively, further cementing Astria Ascending’s connection to 2015 iOS JRPG Zodiac: Orcanon Odyssey, which the pair also worked on....

For these challenges, you need to visit a number of the named locations on the Fortnite map and find the Birthday Cakes hidden within. Completing both of these challenges will help you earn the three Birthday items - the 4 Me??? Back Bling, Hoopla Hammer harvesting tool and 4?

As the culmination of this season’s all-out war, Collision will mark the return of Fortnite’s fan-favourite bear Mech, the unmasking of its pilot as the game’s final member of the Seven, and an explosive showdown with the Island’s villainous IO faction. If all that means nothing to you, just know that these events are typically spectacular showcases for Epic’s development flair - oh, and there will be some freebies (and paid-for bits) to commemorate the occaison in Fortnite’s item shop in the run up to and including that day....

As usual, the Battle Pass skins are a combination of original designs and characters from across pop culture - allowing you to both embrace the weirdness of Fortnite design and occasionally play as Carnage. This season you can collect the likes of the demon hunter Charlotte, IO agent Kor, unicorn man Fabio Sparklemane, Torin who has a connection to the Cube and Carnage from the Marvel universe. Remember to check out the new victory umbrella for Season 8!...
