The computer game Back 4 Blood, which is under development, will combine two genres at once - first-person shooter and survival horror. Left 4 Dead became a spiritual mentor for the new game. Back in the day, it managed to win the hearts of users of three platforms at once, thanks to its gloomy atmosphere of horror and despair. The plot was quite traditional - the survivors are fighting against those infected with a very dangerous virus. Despite the triviality of this kind of gameplay, the game still found itself a lot of fans. Turtle Rock Studios has decided to freshen up its product a bit by releasing a new game on October 12th. So, today the company is working on a new Back 4 Blood. The game has a plot similar to the previous installments of the franchise, but its events are set later on the apocalypse timeline. When creating a new product, the developers paid attention to the zombies themselves - believe me, they look way cooler than the monsters from the pred...

Chivalry 2 is a first-person game inspired by the Middle Ages. When creating the main elements of the slasher, the developers were inspired by high-quality films that recreated the events of the famous era. The first part of Chivalry initially was not even an independent game, and yet it managed to impress many players. The lovers of such genres and fans of films about the Middle Ages are looking forward to the release of the sequel, which is already a work in progress. Confirmation of these claims is the release of the free beta version, which will be available from May 27. Those gamers who are already itching to play a new game will be glad to hear that testing is completely open for the public.

Resident Evil has become Capcom's most influential media franchise and one of the most popular game series worldwide. The RE universe has existed for more than 25 years despite all the criticism, which ranged from total rejection to late recognition. The game has become so popular that it has already been adapted into films several times. The movies have got mixed reception. However, Netflix decided to repeat this experiment, but in a new way. The company announced work on the Resident Evil-themed anime project back in October 2020. But fans have got the release date and a trailer of the anime only a short while ago. Now you just need to wait for July 8th to enjoy the new anime series about your favorite game. The Netflix platform has revealed the plot of the animated series to the public, saying that it will not repeat the story of any part of the game but will create a new one. The events of the series are set in 2006 in the White House, struck by an unk...

The Red Storm team announced the release of a new free shooter called The Division Heartland at the very beginning of the month. Beta tests have just started. Traditionally, people approved for the role of testers signed a non-disclosure agreement, which prevents you from revealing information about the game. Despite this, the video of gameplay appeared on the Internet. Ubisoft quickly dealt with the leak by removing the videos from Vimeo, but the users were faster. At the moment, low-quality footage is spreading on the web, especially inside gaming communities, at the speed of light. Before this event, players knew very little about the announced game. For this reason, someone was not interested in it, while someone was waiting for the release to experience something new. But thanks to the leak, users will be able to become more familiar with the game and its highlights even now. We know now that the game might appeal to fans of third-person shooters. It...

Apex Legends has conquered the Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One platforms in less than 2 years. It is not strange, because the game has become a new flagman in the genre of heroic first-person shooters. However, there is nothing perfect in the world, and Apex Legends is no exception. The gamer's engagement with the new game was at its peak right after the release, but the excitement began to fade away very quickly. Users explained the loss of their interest by the fact that the game stood still and did not provide anything new and unusual. Respawn Entertainment took notes from such comments, promising to fix the problems. Indeed, updates began to appear more frequently in Apex Legends shortly thereafter. But still, some things went not as smoothly as everybody expected. Bugs began to appear along with additions, updates, improvements. Some of them made gamers hate the game, while others offered shortcuts to victory. An example of the latter would be the "ghost...

Layers of Fear is a psychological first-person horror game made by the Bloober Team, that follows a story of a mentally unstable artist eager to complete his masterpiece. This computer game was released in 2016, and it has gathered some fans after five years of its existence. It is not strange that the developers decided to release a sequel sometime afterward, namely in 2019 on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. Initially, gamers could enjoy the first version of the horror on Microsoft Windows, macOS, PlayStation 4, Xbox One platforms, but it appeared on Nintendo Switchonly 2 years later. Probably to create the "tradition", the release of the second part on Nintendo will also happen two years after the main release – on May 20, 2021. Layers of Fear 2 has a different storyline from the first version and is not a direct sequel. It is a game that has preserved the soul of the original but has a completely different meaning. Bloober decided to build a new story arou...

Konrad Tomaszkiewicz, previously known as the game director of The Witcher 3, left his post after being accused of inappropriate treatment of subordinates and creating a bad working environment. Tomashkevich himself denied these claims. Moreover, after a lengthy internal investigation into the harassment, he was found not guilty. Despite this, Konrad still left the company after more than seventeen years of fruitful work within it. It is worth noting that Konrad Tomashkevich's track record is quite impressive. As part of CD Projekt Red, he went from a junior tester to game director and co-director of production for Cyberpunk 2077. Even though Tomashkevich does not admit his guilt, he still wrote a letter of apology to all employees who experienced discomfort while working with him. The former director explains that he does not want to create a tense environment that can offend or humiliate someone and in any way affect the work process....

Back in February of this year, Blizzard announced the World of Warcraft update called "The Burning Crusade Classic." This version of the original expansion from 2007 has become the most anticipated event for fans of the game. However, the announcement did not mention when exactly we were going to get a new add-on. However, there was an information leak due to a Blizzard mistake yesterday, on the night of May 4th. The company accidentally published the release date of the update, which probably falls at the beginning of summer - on June 1. The developers instantly realized their mistake and almost immediately deleted the publication. But this did not stop the most avid WoW fans from taking screenshots and posting them online. The publication was available on the Battle.net portal for a very short time. However, the small number of users who were lucky enough to see it did not manage to get directly into the post itself. This fact caused suspicions that the publicat...

Today, the first unofficial screenshots of Battlefield 6 have appeared online. We assume that these are shots from the upcoming trailer for the game, which EA planned to release soon. The first photo places the character inside a modern helicopter with electronic displays. The cockpit overlooks the take-off pad of some rocket, behind which a tornado is raging. The second screenshot shows a panorama of a tropical island. Aerial combat takes place in the sky above it. Thus, these pictures do not shed much light on the upcoming game, except for the location (island) and the era (modern world) of its actions. Judging by the quality of the screenshots, they were taken during a Zoom video conference or something like that. EA themselves are still silent about the leaked photos. However, blogger Tom Henderson, who has repeatedly given truthful insights into the Battlefield games, confirms the reality of the screenshots. The new Battlefield 6 will be the first...

It is not clear what motivates people chasing freebies - whether ardor or the desire for money for jam. However, whatever the motive, they often achieve what they want.

This is the eighth game in the series, which is traditionally performed in the Survival Horror genre. The announcement of this entertainment was presented almost a year ago - on June 11, 2020.

In addition, the developers constantly fueled their impatience with news and reviews, using all the media possibilities. Without having time to enjoy the demo, gamers found a way to extend it until May 10, and to remove the time limit of one hour. This goal was re...

Everyone already knows that Days Gone fans launched a petition on Change.org, which was able to take the lead in terms of the number of signatures on the platform. This is a testament to the game's appeal to thousands of gamers, who are eager to see Sony Interactive Entertainment approve the next installment. Even Jeff Ross, who is the director of the project, supported the petition. He gave his vote and encouraged everyone to follow his example. But what is the response from the writers to such an impressive request from the Days Gone fans? To put it mildly, the authors were not moved. On the contrary, they think the gamers themselves caused absence of the second part purchasing first one at a discount. On this occasion, the creative director of the game, John Garvin, gave an interview in which he frankly admitted that he was somewhat enraged by lovers of freebies. John is annoyed that gamers do not understand how the gaming business segment works. He beli...

A neurotech company has shared with the public a video of a monkey playing an arcade video game. How do you like that, Elon Musk? In this case, Musk commended the experiment, since it was conducted by his own company, Neuralink. A primate named Pager can play arcade games using the mind power. This has been achieved thanks to a wireless chip embedded in his brain. The process itself can be seen in the official video posted on the Neuralink YouTube channel. The company mentions that the path to mastering the game by a monkey was not that long. The chip was implemented six weeks before the video you just watched was filmed. At first, nine-year-old Pager learned to control his racket with a joystick, receiving a banana smoothie for his small successes. Meanwhile, the implanted chip read and analyzed his brain activity to predict the possible macaque actions in the future. And so it happened! By disabling the joystick, the monkey w...

Valheim recently entered the market in Early Access mode, but it already has over 5 million players. Survival simulator has gained popularity due to many factors, such as realistic mechanics or procedural map generation. One of the most influential factors is a huge number of unofficial mods for the game. Iron Gate Studio, the developer of Valheim, hasn't announced official support of mods, but that doesn't stop the community from creating extremely ambitious projects. Among the most successful are the “Valheim Legend” RPG mod, which adds 6 playable classes with unique skills, and a first-person view switch mode (the original version of the game uses a third-person view). The latest such creation is VHVR - a mod that implements a VR for the game. At the moment, the modification is still in the early stages of development, but players can already use VR glasses for the game. Unfortunately, motion controllers are yet to be suppo...

PUBG Lite is a free version of the famous battle royale that has reduced system requirements. The game was created for users whose computers cannot handle the heavy graphics of the main PUBG. A separate development team has been working on Lite for two years now. Also, the game has servers separated from the original edition. That is why the players of the two versions can't cross their paths. The game has simplified graphics and interface but is generally the same as the original product. It makes PUBG Lite the perfect option for multiplayer fans with weak machines. But, unfortunately, it will cease to exist soon. The closure was announced on the game's website by its publisher. The statement says the game is unavailable for download since today. Its servers are still running, but they are to shut down on April 29th too. The developers did not explain the reasons for the product's canceling, so we can only guess what happened. At least the main version...

The renowned Polish studio CD Projekt held a press conference today about its plans for the near future. As it turned out, they are quite ambitious: the company plans to work on two AAA projects simultaneously. CD Projekt Red is known for two franchises – The Witcher and Cyberpunk 2077. Starting from 2022, the developers will work on two games to support both series. To ensure this productivity, the studio will expand its staff.

Video games are an extremely fast-growing form of entertainment, where many products are gaining and losing popularity just as quickly. However, sometimes developers still think about their old creations, with the recent update of Serious Sam 2 being a perfect example. The classic shooter, which turns 16 in October, will now have a wide variety of new features. Among the main ones are 12 new locations and two types of weapons (a flamethrower and the Beam Gun that did not reach the original release). The gameplay also received changes, namely the introduction of dual-wielding and a rocket pack. Now the player can fly in the air and destroy all living things with two flamethrowers at the same time - what else do you need? Less significant innovations lay in the area of the overall design. They are mainly adapting the UI to modern displays and their resolutions or fixing some minor bugs. According to Nathan Brown, the main creator of the update, he worked on it...

Last weekend, IGN interviewed director Johannes Roberts, who is currently working on a new Resident Evil film, which will serve as a complete reboot of the acclaimed franchise. In an interview, Roberts revealed several interesting details about the upcoming movie, including its exact title, which hasn't been released until now. According to the director, "Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City" (that is the new picture's title) is a completely new entry in the franchise and has zero plot connections with the previous series. Moreover, the new film will be much closer to the original video games, namely Resident Evil 1 and 2, than its predecessors. Events will take place in two main locations - Spencer Mansion and a police station from RE and RE 2, respectively. Roberts also noted that the creators used this to implement the contrast into the narrative - the scenes in the mansion will evoke an atmosphere of horror and anxiety, while the police station will be a cen...

Yesterday, the gaming community was triggered by a Bloomberg article according to which the famous Polish video game developer CD Projekt Red is using crunch to finish all work on the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077 game before November 19, the day of its release. Crunch is a term in the gaming industry that implies the forced introduction of overtime hours for staff to finish the work in some specific time frame, most often the deadline for a game to enter the market. Crunch is mainly used by studios in the final stages of development and is caused by poor planning of the development process and mistakes in management. According to Bloomberg's anonymous source, CD Projekt Red also introduced a six working days per week before release, and some employees have been working overtime for over a year. In the case of CD Projekt Red, everything is worsened by the fact that this isn't the first case of crunch in their history - earlier the same scandal arose during the another h...
