More information and a new set of screenshots for Dragon Star Varnir has been released by Idea Factory International and this time around the company is detailing gifting items, elixirs, and the madness that can infect the Witches. In the Witch’s Room, you can gift items to the witches that you’ve obtained from dungeons and shops. Each witch has their own personal preference, so if you give the right witch the right present, their affinity level will go up. If their affinity gets to a certain level, a special event will occur.
Elixirs can be brewed using dragon parts, such as claws, skin, bone, eyes, and livers, you’ve obtained through battle. As for madness, the moment it takes over a witch a cruel fate of despair will await them. Throughout the game, players will be able to make decisions that impact the insanity levels of the witches. The decisions made can impact what ending you receive, so choose wisely.
You can check out these screenshots below and keep an eye out for Dragon Star Varnir when it is released on the PlayStation 4 on June 11th in North America and June 14th in Europe.
With Rage 2 set to be released next week Bethesda, Avalanche Studios, and id Software have opted to release a launch trailer that starts out fairly standard by giving players a look at a little of everything that the game has to offer and then goes and flashes all the way back to the initial leak of the game, the “lame ending” of the first game, a cat licking a lollipop, and finally the big bang.
You can check out the video below and keep an eye out for Rage 2 when it is released next week on May 14th for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
Capcom announced Monster Hunter World will be getting its first expansion pack later this year. Entitled “Iceborne,” PlayStation 4 and Xbox One owners will get their chance to explore the new snow covered biome on September 6th. Just like previous PC content, PC owners will have to wait until this winter (spring in southern hemisphere regions) for “Iceborne.”
“Iceborne” is a full blown expansion containing a new biome, a variety of new monster, the Master Rank difficulty, a new story line, and quality of life enhancements. The expansion’s story is set shortly after the events of the main game, where the hunters have just discovered icy Hoarfrost Reach. The new area will start out small, but will eventually grow into the largest zone in the game as players progress through the story.
New gameplay changes are coming with “Iceborne.” Some are quality of life changes like the ability to use the Slinger with a weapon equipped. Others add more content, such as new combos for all 14 weapon types.
“Iceborne” will be priced at $39.99 USD as a DLC. A digital deluxe version containing the expansion and exclusive cosmetics will be priced at $49.99 USD. A new Monster Hunter WorldMaster Edition will also launch, bundling the game and the “Iceborne” expansion for $59.99 USD. This will be the only pack available at physical retailers.
After a bit of a leaking problem Ubisoft and Ubisoft Paris have announced that they will be bringing Ghost Recon: Breakpoint to the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC on October 4th with those who pre-order the game gaining access to a beta that will be held sometime before release.
Ghost Recon: Breakpoint will be set somewhere in the South Pacific on the remote Auroa Archipelago, a vast land of diverse biomes that range from lush rainforests to snowy peaks. Now, it’s home to Skell Technology, an enigmatic technology giant. Initially interested in a remote testing site for its autonomous drones, the Silicon Valley company eventually turned Auroa into its “World 2.0,” a high-tech, high-security utopia of sustainable eco-cities and robotics research.
The main enemy this time will be The Wolves, perhaps the deadliest enemy yet as they are former Ghosts who have betrayed their country. Led by the charismatic Colonel Cole D. Walker they have taken control of Auroa for an unknown purpose. Now in control of Auroa’s powerful drone technology The Wolves and their allies will hunt you mercilessly across Auroa.
For those who want a quick look at what Ghost Recon: Breakpointwill have to offer you can check out both the announcement trailer and over thirteen minutes of gameplay footage below.
It looks like players will be able to play as everyone’s favorite skeleton knight in time for Halloween as Sony has announced that the MediEvil remake will be releasing physically and digitally for the PlayStation 4 on October 25th. To accompany this announcement the publisher has released a new trailer focusing on the story for the game and you can check it out below. Sir Dan has his work cut out for him as he will need to be busy avoiding the boulder-spitting gargoyles of the Hilltop Mausoleum, outrunning the menacing farmers of the Scarecrow Fields, and fending off giant worker ants in the Ant Caves.
Although the journey will bring you face to face with hordes of unspeakable enemies, a whole host of heroes will be there to help guide you on your way and provide Sir Dan with an ever-expanding repertoire of weapons and shields to aid him in his quest. Everything from enchanted swords to gigantic hammers, crossbows, throwing knives and axes are at your disposal, but you’ll need to use them wisely, lest you lose your head.
After waiting quite a while we now have a bit of new footage for Square Enix‘s Final Fantasy VII Remake. Coming out of today’s PlayStation State of Play this minute long trailer gives us a brief look at gameplay, where the revised combat is shown, as well as a look at how a few of the characters will look and sound in the game, though sadly Tifa is not shown this time around we do get a solid look at Aerith.
Currently Final Fantasy VII Remake is set to be released for the PlayStation 4 though Tetsuya Nomura has stated that more information will be coming next month.
Monster Hunter World: Iceborne™ Expansion for Capcom’s Best-Selling Title of All Time Coming September 6th
Expansion’s Enormous Ice Locale Sets the Stage for New Storyline, Monsters, Gameplay Options and More; Monster Hunter: World™ Gets Free Trial and New Content Update for Consoles in May
Sydney, AU – May 9, 2019 – Today in a
special Monster Hunter World: Iceborne™ Spring Update broadcast,
Capcom announced new details for the highly anticipated massive expansion to
Monster Hunter: World™, the best-selling Capcom title of all time with more
than 12 million units shipped worldwide adding to the series total of more than
53 million units to date. This gargantuan follow-up rivals the gameplay volume
from the original release, and will be available for PlayStation®4 computer
entertainment system and the Xbox One family of devices, including Xbox One X,
globally on September 6, 2019. Several details were revealed during the
broadcast including the first look at Monster Hunter World: Iceborne
with information on the new icy setting, monsters, gameplay options, purchase,
and the latest updates for Monster Hunter: World.
The Iceborne expansion builds on every aspect of Monster
Hunter: World, starting with an all-new story that picks up after the main game
and whisks hunters away to a newly discovered chilly locale called Hoarfrost
Reach. The snow-covered terrain offers an ecosystem that contrasts areas in the
main game and progressively expands with the story. Iceborne is
set to offer the largest region in the game so far, presenting hunters a wealth
of new content with even more quests to face than in the original release.
Iceborne also introduces the
new higher difficulty Master Rank, a brand-new quest tier that makes new and
existing monsters more ferocious than ever. The extreme cold is also the
setting for brand new frigid climate foes such as the horned brute wyvern
Banbaro and the snow-buried Beotodus. These interweave with returning fan
favorites such as the swift-attacking Nargacuga who adds some dangerous new
tricks to his trademark move set as he joins the Monster Hunter: World line-up.
Leading the pack in Iceborne is the mysterious new flagship
monster Velkhana, an elder dragon with powerful ice attacks that is a pervasive
threat in the new story.
To ready players to face the expansion’s fierce hunts, several new
gameplay options have been added to broaden the player’s combat repertoire,
creating opportunities for exciting new hunting strategies. The Slinger can now
be used while the main weapon is drawn, regardless of weapon type. New features
have also been added for the Slinger such as the Clutch Claw used to grapple
onto monsters with more direct control and the Flinch Shot which unloads
Slinger ammo to stun monsters. Each of the 14 weapon types will also get new
combos and new elements, offering additional depth to master in combat.
The Monster Hunter: World base game is required and while Iceborne
players will be able to enjoy some of the gameplay options such as the Slinger
and weapon updates right away, they must have completed the main story through
Hunter Rank 16 in order to access the new Iceborne story and
quests.
For players who have not yet tried Monster Hunter: World, now is the
perfect time to dive into the game ahead of the Iceborne
expansion. A free trial is available on PS4™ from today through May 20, 2019.
This will provide plenty of opportunities to try out a variety of quests, craft
and upgrade equipment, and join in on the game’s trademark cooperative
multiplayer action with existing owners of the game. Any saved progress
transfers over to the main game, so new players are encouraged to start their
hunting journey before the expansion’s release.
In the meantime, for existing Monster Hunter: World players on console,
the last new content update for the base game will celebrate the aggressive
flagship monster Nergigante who will finally appear in the formidable
Arch-Tempered form for a limited time from May 11 UTC. Defeating this ultimate
challenge will yield the powerful Nergigante γ (gamma) armour.
Capcom will have additional information about Monster Hunter
World: Iceborne at E3 this June so stay tuned. And as always, happy
hunting!

Tom
Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint is a military shooter set in a diverse and
hostile open world entirely playable solo or in up to four-player co-op.
Players will discover Auroa, a mysterious island where the most technically
advanced facilities meet wild and untamed nature. Home to drone creators, tech
giant Skell Technology, Auroa has fallen into the wrong hands and all contact
has been lost.
The
Wolves, a lethal ex–US Military unit of former Ghosts gone rogue, have taken
over the island. Led by Nomad’s ex-brother-in-arms, Lt. Colonel Cole D. Walker,
portrayed by Jon Bernthal, they have reprogrammed Skell’s drones into killing
machines and are ready to use them, no matter the casualties. Nomad and the
Ghosts are sent in on a recon mission, but their helicopters are shot down.
Injured, without support, and hunted down, players will live an intense military
experience as they fight to survive, take down the Wolves and regain control of
Auroa.
Steep
slopes, accumulating injuries, and fatigue are new challenges for players to
tackle as they test their survival skills in the varied terrains of Auroa. To
overcome adversity, players will enjoy total freedom to accomplish their
missions and have plenty of tactical options and tools at their disposal,
including a set of new military features. They will be able to carry enemies
and teammates’ bodies, blend into their environment with prone camo and set up
camp with teammates in the bivouac to manage equipment, change classes, and
fine-tune their strategies.

will also be able to choose among thousands of customization combinations to
create their perfect Ghost, and keep their character and progression through
the game in both the main campaign and Player-versus-player (PvP), available at
launch.
