Killjoy is Valorant's new agent, they dug him up before the official announcement

We are familiar with a new playful character in the Valorant shooter, with a full demonstration of skills. Her name is Killjoy and she loves robots in her spare time.

Riot Games has not yet officially revealed the new agent / playable character in the Valorant shooter, but almost all the necessary information about him is already available. By some awkward case, a video leaking that demonstrates Killjoy and his specific skills were leaked.

We don’t know yet what Killjoy looks like, but we do know that he will use some significantly different attacks and tricks than the rest of the current lineup of agents. Killjoy’s first standard skill is called Alarmbot and launches a killer robot that tracks nearby opponents, and when in contact with them explodes and temporarily leaves opponents doubly vulnerable to all other damage. Another skill is throwing static cannons with a 180-degree angle of view. The third skill is Nanoswarm, a grenade that does not explode after being thrown but can be manually activated at any time.

Killjoy’s ultimate attack is Lockdown, and if timed well, he can capture all enemies caught in range for a total of 8 seconds. The lockdown is initiated using a device that Killjoy throws to the ground, meaning enemies can destroy it to undo its action.

The Elder Scrolls Blades Announces Repeatable Event Quests

When The Elder Scrolls: Blades’ next update hits, it’ll introduce an MMO staple to the game. That’s right, repeatable quests are on their way. These quests — known as Event Quests — are a bit different from your standard grind repeatable found in other MMOs, partially in that each of them can only be completed up to five times. And, as a player attempts the same quest again and again, the quest becomes more difficult.

The Event Quests will be found in the Events tab of the Quests menu, provided the player has reached level 10. They rotate and will require different load-outs to complete. Completing the Event Quests will not only earn players gold and gems, but also a new item — Sigils. These can only be used in the Sigil Shop where players will be able to obtain new items and gear — including new Arcane weapons, armour, and jewellery.

The update will also include fixes and other improvements. Although, the devs have yet to specify what any of these will be.

Desperados 3 got four new challenges

The well-received Desperados 3 received a free extension with four additional mission-specific plots.

In addition to the rather long main story, the recently launched Desperados 3 also has an additional mode of optional challenges in which the various desires of the mysterious baron are addressed. In one of these, you have to indirectly solve one chicken and that tells you enough about the fact that these are missions that are not present in the campaign itself.

As of this week, the game has four additional missions of this type, and all game owners get them for free via a new update. The first mission is called the Vanishing Act and asks the player to rescue the lying trader from the city. The untitled Voodoo mission takes us to a wedding in which black magic is involved. Public Transportation is a mission in which two corpses need to be placed on a train without the enemies noticing. Finally, Bird Hunting is a sniper mission with Doc McCoy.

In addition to additional content, the latest update also brings a few useful things, such as Borderless Window mode and support for Tobii Eye Tracking.

We saw a new gameplay demonstration of Crash Bandicoot 4 It’s About Time

Several reputable gaming media, including GameSpot, Game Informer and Destructoid, were allowed to try Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time, and as a result of their preview test, we got a new look at the gameplay itself. Specifically, two levels were shown (Snow Way Out and Dino Dash), and we saw Dr Neo Cortex looks in action. Everything looks just as much fun as the original trilogy, which is why we’re further looking forward to the release of this realization soon.

The new game by the creators of Sea of ​​Thieves already has two trailers, and even the developers do not know what the gameplay will be

The magical game Everwild has been shown again at the Microsoft presentation for Xbox, and it is not even in the phase of having gameplay mechanics outlined.

One of the future exclusives of the Xbox Series X platform was announced last year under the direction of creator Sea of ​​Thieves. Everwild is a game of exploring the magical world about which we know practically nothing, and after yesterday’s review of the same game, we know even less than that.

In the new trailer, we see a group of characters (players) caring for magical animals, but it is not entirely clear whether this is the basic mechanics of the game. There’s a reason for that, and that’s that Rare studio hasn’t even finalized all the gameplay concepts for Everwild yet. As they say, they are still playing with gameplay ideas, sticking to the desire to offer a polygon where players will co-create their stories.

Of course, some gameplay foundations for this game certainly already exist, but it's a bit strange that Microsoft is showing it for the second time, and the developer himself does not yet have a clear vision of how this game will be played. It just shows how much the Xbox team desperately wants to prove that they have valuable exclusives, all and that they are very far from a playable state.

The next Ubisoft Forward is announced for September

The recent Ubisoft Forward event was quite short, with a focus on just a few Ubisoft upcoming titles, so at the same time, we learned nothing new about games like, say, Beyond Good and Evil 2, Rainbow Six Quarantine or Gods & Monsters. Therefore, at the very end of the event, we found out that it was basically just the first in a series and that we will see the new Ubisoft Forward soon. Thanks to the latest information, we now know when.

Namely, confirmation came from the ranks of this French publisher that the new Ubisoft Forward will be held during September, but the exact date has not been revealed. It has not been revealed what we should see during this digital event, but we can already assume that, in addition to the Far Cry 6 gameplay premiere, we will see the above titles, but also some surprises. New Prince of Persia or Splinter Cell? We still hope ...

Rocket League becomes free, but not on Steam

The Psyonix studio game will become free to play after five years and will no longer be available to new players on Valve’s platform.

Great things happen in the Rocket League. The favorite video game in which we try to score a goal with cars not only becomes free to play but will also be removed from Steam. The new destination for all new Rocket League players on PC will be the Epic Games Store. Fortunately, all those who already have a Rocket League on Steam will be able to play it there still. But there will be no free versions on Steam.

“The Rocket League will debut on the Epic Games Store when it becomes free to play. The upcoming version will be the same as those on other platforms and will offer the possibility of crossplay with all platforms on which the Rocket League is located "- said in a statement from the studio Psyonix.

Another significant thing that comes with the transition of the game to the Epic Games Store will be that the Rocket League will have a cross-platform progression. This means that the progress achieved in the game will be shared on all platforms in the future, ie. that you will be able to switch from the console to the PC and continue where you left off, or vice versa.

Anyone who purchases the game before its free version, and plays it between July 21 and the release of the free-to-play model, will be able to keep it and receive regular updates. The game will be removed from Steam, so future players will no longer be able to get it there. Veterans of this title, before the game switches to the free-to-play version, will receive Legacy status as a reward. This will allow them several rewards within the game, including all the DLCs that came out before the free version arrived.

The exact date when the Rocket League will switch to the free-to-play model has not yet been determined.

Spider-Man: Miles morales will spin in 4K resolution and 60 fps - if you want

Development studio Insomniac Games has confirmed that the spin-off game in the world of Spider-Man on the PS5 console will be able to run in two modes.

Recently, there has been a debate about how games on the PlayStation 5 console will not run at 60 fps. More specifically, an argument has emerged that developers will choose a leap in graphics quality rather than better performance, and more advanced hardware is not always able to chew both. However, the situation will continue as on the PS4 Pro console where individual games will have two or more play modes.

Spider-Man: Miles Morales will have an optional "Performance mode" in which the game will be played in 4K resolution and 60 frames per second. Other modes have not yet been discovered, but it is to be expected that the standard model will have a performance of 30 fps with slightly more advanced and detailed graphics.

Given that SM: Miles Morales runs on the same launcher as the original 2018 Spider-Man, I sincerely hope that means that game will also get free update for the PS5 with the same performance mode. But we will have to wait a little longer to confirm that.

Here’s another indication that we’re probably getting a remaster of the Mass Effect trilogy

In early 2021, The Art of Mass Effect Trilogy: Expanded Edition will be launched. He may follow the remaster of the Mass Effect trilogy.

An entry for the book The Art of Mass Effect Trilogy: Expanded Edition has recently appeared on Amazon and other online stores. Judging by the official description, it is an expanded edition of the existing book with illustrations, sketches, and other materials from the first three games of the Mass Effect series.

It is not unusual for the 2012 book to get a new edition, but it will likely follow the potential remaster of the Mass Effect trilogy. It has been rumored for a long time that Electronic Arts plans to launch this remaster collection in 2021 and considering that the mentioned book is planned for February 23, 2021, it is probably not a mere coincidence.

The expanded edition of the book will include new material from all DLC episodes for existing games. It is also to be expected that all existing DLCs will be included in the remaster collection if any. Of course, these are all speculations, for now, that should not be taken as confirmation. If confirmed, it will probably be kept for November 7, when the so-called N7 day is celebrated.
