A Plague Tale: Requiem’s Performance Mode Is Live, with Enhanced Graphics for PC Plus 60 FPS Mode for PS5 & Xbox Series X!

PARIS May 10, 2023 — Today Focus Entertainment and Asobo Studio are thrilled to announce the release of a new patch for A Plague Tale: Requiem, the critically praised and multi-award-winning action-adventure game. Out now, the game’s new update brings a Performance Mode that includes a 60 FPS option for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, as well as additional options to optimize graphical performance on PC.

A Plague Tale: Requiem takes you on a breathtaking, emotional adventure through a dangerous medieval world twisted by supernatural forces. The sense of history and strong narrative direction are complemented with intense stealth and action gameplay, now enjoyable at 60 FPS on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X with the new Performance Mode.

The 60 FPS option entails lower graphical settings: PS5 and Xbox Series X players can thus choose default Resolution Mode settings to fully enjoy the graphical excellence of A Plague Tale: Requiem; or the Performance Mode that scales the graphical resolution down, instead enhancing the gameplay sequences with even smoother action at 60 FPS.

Today’s new patch also adds options for PC players, allowing them to optimize the game’s graphical performance. All platforms, Xbox Series S included, will receive several bug fixes with the update. The game’s Cloud Version on Nintendo Switch will receive an update including these bug fixes next week.

A Plague Tale: Requiem has received profuse praise from critics and players since its launch, and we are thrilled to deploy Performance Mode for players to enjoy Amicia and Hugo’s adventure the way they prefer. The game has won several awards and nominations, including:

  • 5 nominations at The Game Awards 2022: Game of the Year, Best Action/Adventure, Best Narrative, Best Score and Music, Best Performance

  • The Bilbao Indie Games Titanium Award

Mortal Kombat Teaser Video States “It is Almost Time”

It has been a couple of years now since Mortal Kombat 11 wrapped up its final DLC releases and now fans have been wondering just when the next game from NetherRealm would arrive and it seems that we will be hearing a full announcement soon. Warner Bros. and NetherRealm have released a new teaser video dubbed “It is Almost Time” on the official Mortal Kombat social media featuring a ticking clock that ticks to 11 before skipping entirely over the 12 marker to 1.

This can mean a number of things as the ending for Mortal Kombat 11 saw a massive change in the game’s lore and the possibility for an entire reset to the series timeline, meaning that it is entirely possible that the company will be rebooting Mortal Kombat once more. Of course at this moment this is merely conjecture as Mortal Kombat 12, or possibly Mortal Kombat 1, has not officially been unveiled though fans can likely expect an announcement soon. The teaser video can be found below.

Hollow Knight: Silksong Delayed Past First Half of 2023

Many have been waiting to see just when Team Cherry’s next entry in the Hollow Knight series would arrive but it looks like they are going to be waiting at least half a year more as the development team has announced that they will no longer be hitting the “first half of 2023” release window that was initially set for Hollow Knight: Silksong.

According to the team’s marketing director Matthew Griffin, the company wants to make the game “as good as we can” and while they are “excited by how the game is shaping up” that the size of it means they will need more time to ensure the level of quality fans expect. The development team has stated that they will reveal more details when they get closer to release. When Hollow Knight: Silksong does release it is currently set for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Switch, and PC.

Starfield ESRB Rating Details Combat, Pillow Talk, and More

When it comes to ratings boards, they usually can reveal anything from completely unannounced titles to expanding upon some little known elements of upcoming games and considering the many mysteries around Starfield‘s gameplay and various elements despite the game arriving on September 6th, the ESRB rating has revealed a bit more info for the game. Starfield was given an M rating for Blood, Strong Language, Suggestive Themes, Use of Drugs, and Violence, and In-Game Purchases with the last one likely pointing towards future DLC.

As for some of the more in-depth elements we get to learn a little bit more about combat and a bit of gore as well as the fact that players will be able to have relations in the game, make use of drugs, and have “suggestive dialogue”, the full rating for Bethesda‘s upcoming release can be found below:

This is an open-world role-playing game in which players assume the role of a miner tasked with finding Artifacts across the galaxy. From first-/third-person perspectives, players interact with various characters, complete quests, and search for supplies while battling enemies (e.g., humans, robots, alien creatures). Players use futuristic guns, lasers, axes, and explosives to kill enemies. Combat is fast-paced, with frequent gunfire, cries of pain, and explosions. Attacks on some enemies can result in blood-splatter effects; several environments depict blood stains on the ground around corpses. The game contains some suggestive material in the dialogue, and after sharing a bed with characters (e.g., “Life is a sexually transmitted disease that’s a hundred percent fatal”; “I’m all for getting a little wild, but next time let’s try it without the jetpacks”; “Talk about seeing stars, whew… that was amazing.”). A fictional drug (Aurora) is prominent in the game, with a section involving players’ characters working in an illicit drug lab; players can also obtain Aurora by stealing or buying it from vendors (consuming Aurora results in a distortion effect on the screen). The words “f*k” and “bullsht” appear in the game.

Everything You Need to Know Before LEGO 2K Drive Releases Next Week

Game modes, crossplay and customisation detailed ahead of global launch on May 19

Get your engines started! LEGO 2K Drive launches worldwide next Friday, May 19, 2023. Developed by Visual Concepts, LEGO 2K Drive evolves the iconic LEGO play experience with a vast, open world where players can build their dream vehicles, drive anywhere, and become a LEGO racing legend. Gear up for launch with a closer look at everything there is to do in the world of Bricklandia.

Four Modes to Explore

There are tons of open-world exploration and thrilling races in LEGO 2K Drive‘s four modes. 

  • Story – Play solo or in splitscreen co-op on your journey from rookie racer to famous champion as you compete against a series of charismatic rivals with hopes of one day winning the coveted Sky Cup Trophy. With each victory, you’ll work your way up the ranks to take on the infamous Shadow Z road villain.
  • Cup Series – Get the Grand Prix experience in Cup Series mode, featuring multiple tracks back-to-back. You’ll score points after each race based on your finishing place, and those with the highest point totals get the top spots on the podium. There is a Grand Brix Cup Series for every biome in Bricklandia.
  • Race – Looking to get straight to the action as fast as possible? Check out the Race mode, where you can choose any course and License Class level (determining overall speed and available abilities) to start driving right away. 
  • Minigames – Minigames have unique objectives that aren’t based on crossing a finish line, and speed isn’t the only thing required to succeed. In Defend Minigames, you need to smash waves of marching robots to protect objectives, while Rescue Minigames get hectic as you battle groups of roaming baddies and pick up helpless townspeople.

Play Together and Crossplay Details

Enjoy driving with other players both locally and online with LEGO 2K Drive‘s multiplayer.

  • Local Play / Splitscreen – On all platforms, you can enjoy in-person driving action with two-player splitscreen. On Nintendo Switch, two players can also link up for Local Play using two Nintendo Switch systems on the same wireless connection.
  • Play with Friends Online – Party up with crossplay available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.* The biggest mode in Play With Friends is Shared World, where up to six players can join up online and race around the vast expanse of Bricklandia simultaneously. Play With Friends also lets your party see who is the fastest driver in Cup Series and Race modes.
  • Play with Everyone Online – See how you stack up against racers from around the globe in the Play With Everyone online multiplayer mode, including crossplay on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.* You’ll be matchmade with other racers of your skill level to compete in Cup Series or Race events. To ensure a safe, welcoming environment for all, you won’t have any communication with other players. Skilled driving, cool vehicle choices, and customisation are the only ways to express yourself. 

Customisation and Sharing

The Garage is where you’ll build and modify vehicles in LEGO 2K Drive. You have the power to make the vehicles of your dreams in the Garage, customising every brick from nose to tail. Right from the get-go, you’ll have hundreds of bricks to build with, sorted by type and category, with over 1,000 unique LEGO pieces available over the course of the adventure. 

All vehicles in LEGO 2K Drive have their own stats, including Top Speed, Acceleration, Handling, Health, Melee Power, and Weight. The more bricks you have in your vehicle, the heavier it gets, affecting your Weight class. Each of the six Weight classes from Super Light to Massive have advantages and weaknesses, so play around and find out what works best for you. Every vehicle is designed to ensure there is a balanced experience. A vehicle with a particularly high stat in one area must have a trade off in another area.

There are tons of customisation options for your builds, from individual brick shapes and paint jobs to finer details like the sound of your horn and engine. Swap out the wheels, switch up the placement of the driver’s seat, add a personal touch to your vehicle with a sticker or a fun piece of flair, and more. 

Post-launch, we’ll also be introducing the ability for players to share customisations with friends and the community online.*

Get Ready for a Wild Ride on Mars: World of Tanks Introduces a Free-For-All Sci-Fi Brawl

May 10th, 2023 —World of Tanks are launching an interstellar showdown pitting players in a fierce and unrestricted Martian melee. From May 11th to May 22nd, tankers can loot the mysterious surface of Mars in a specially designed research vehicle and engage in some epic combat.

This isn’t your typical battle. With a new set of abilities and power-ups, players will have the chance to truly flex their off-world combat skills. Take control of the alien-made “Object” in the center of the map, hit the opponents with Impulse Gun shots, or just ram them to oblivion, and take advantage of buffs that can give a serious edge in the competition.

The mysterious alien “Object” that players must scan awaits in the center of the map: an old crater with a peculiar terrain. Along with the iconic Martian red dust, there are many hazards. Deep chasms, complex rock formations and several perilous pools of highly corrosive acid. The edges of the area offer breathtaking views, so it’s easy to lose concentration and fall off the cliffs.

To explore the planet, tankers will have access to their own Mars Rover, an innovative six-wheeled research vehicle that’s built to traverse the perilous terrain of Mars. Armed with advanced Impulse Gun technology, players will be able to zap their opponents with ease. And even if a rover gets destroyed, it will be respawned and will rejoin the battle.

But it’s not just about the combat – the event is scored with specially recorded matching soundtracks that will take the cosmic gaming experience to the next level. And as players progress through the competition, they will have the chance to earn days of WoT Premium Account, bonds, new equipment, and a ton of new Mars-themed customizations.

So, gear up and get ready to blast off to the red planet for an interstellar free-for-all like no other. The competition is fierce, the terrain is treacherous, and the rewards are out of this world.
