These include the decision by developer Niantic to sell not one but two cheap event tickets featuring time-limited quests and rewards, with both a $1 and $5 option available. From the sounds of things, these will each offer different rewards, with the former offering encounters with Yamask, while the pricier option gets you an admittedly very cool animated Halloween lantern avatar item/pose. Niantic is obviously trying something new here with a pair of different ticket options for the same overall event, as well as the fact these rewards will be time-limited - even if you paid....

Below, we’ll treat this page as a kind of hub for all new evolution methods in the game, listing the basic details for how to evolve each Pokémon that gets a new method that’s changed in any way since the previous games. We’ll also link out to our dedicated guides for any specific Pokémon that need a little more detail. On this page: However, there are lots of Pokémon whose method for evolving has changed, or new Pokémon with new methods altogether that have been added, too....

Espeon is classified as an Attacker Pokémon in Pokémon Unite, so, when playing, your primary goals will be to inflict massive damage and knock out enemy Pokemon to use this chance to score goals. To do any of this, you will need to be informed on the best items and moves for Espeon. Below you will find our recommendations for the best Espeon build and, if you would like to see how Espeon measures up to the other Pokémon on Unite’s roster, please visit our Pokémon Unite Tier List....

The dataminer revealed that earlier this week, a private investigator turned up at their home and handed them a letter demanding that the leaker’s social media posts be removed. The letter - allegedly from PUBG developer Krafton - also wanted copies of PlayerIGN’s direct messages in order to decipher “how [they] got said information”. “A private investigator was just outside my house just now handing me a letter re: KRAFTON having me take down all my social media posts of leaks, provide a full accounting of how much revenue I made, and provide all DM’s of how I got said infos,” PlayerIGN said via a TwitLonger post (thanks, TheGamer)....

Announced during Quakecon’s opening livestream session (which saw id’s Marty Stratton and Kevin Cloud, alongside Machine Games’ Jerk Gustafsson, reflecting on Quake 25th anniversary), the newly enhanced version of Quake includes visual improvements, online and local split-screen multiplayer, plus a wealth of additional content. Purchasers will receive the original Quake, its two official expansions - The Scourge of Armagon and Dissolution of Eternity - plus two expansions created by Wolfenstein: The New Order developer Machine Games: Dimensions of the Past and the all-new Dimension of the Machine....

That got the old brain cogs a-whirring. If all of these games have poison swamps and the big man behind them thinks they’re really important, it’s obvious that we can figure out which one is the objectively best game by rating the poison swamps! Folks are always banging on about objective game rankings, so this is just giving them what they want. Genius, right? No, I wasn’t intensely sleep deprived from cramming in too much Elden Ring while working on this article, why do you ask?...

Rebirth Island, the smaller, and dare I say it more fun of the two maps available to play in Activision’s battle royale, is brighter now, with a soft blue, ’80s-inspired colour palette. It’s certainly nicer to look at, and there’s good visibility, as you can see in the footage I captured below: Players discovered this change for themselves and have reacted positively. Now, there are calls for Raven to give Verdansk ‘84 the same treatment....

Of course, it’s one thing knowing that this awaits you somewhere in the game, it’s a very different thing actually finding it. That’s why you’ll need to know how to find the Le Tresor Des Morts location in order to find the treasure at the end - which, without spoiling specifics, is a very useful way to make money in Red Dead Redemption 2 nice and early. On this page: For more help, our Red Dead Redemption 2 walkthrough explains the requirements for fully completing the game’s many story missions....

Here, we’ll explain where you can find the Trapper, including the Trapper locations that we’ve found so far, as well as what exactly the Trapper does, too. On this page: For more help, our Red Dead Redemption 2 walkthrough explains the requirements for fully completing the game’s many story missions. You’ll likely be looking for the Trapper after one of the main story missions, like Exit, Pursued by a Bruised Ego, but you can actually go there much sooner if you wish - as soon as the world opens up a little more significantly, at the start of Chapter 2....

Talking to IGN, Director Kento Kinoshita stated Capcom is “creating the Shadows of Rose story to conclude the Winters family saga.” This means any future entries to the series will likely introduce us to a new set of characters or bring back some older faces from the previous generations of games - though Capcom itself is tight-lipped on any further details. The Winters family was first introduced in 2017’s Resident Evil 7: Biohazard....

Here, we get our first look at the dialogue options mechanic in-game (you can also see it on the Return to Monkey Island website when you chat to Stan), and meet the formidable Judge Plank. The clip starts by showing hero Guybrush Threepwood making his way along a snow-ridden and far from tropical street. Those icicles look like they could do some serious damage, and I am getting goose pimples just writing about them....

In a brief update on Valorant’s offical website, Riot Games explained that as part of its “larger effort to combat disruptive behaviour”, the company has updated its Privacy Notice and Terms of Service to allow recording and evaluation of in-game voice communications. The post stresses that these recordings will only be evaluated when “a report for [negative] behaviour is submitted” and the system will originally kick off in Valorant before - once the “tech [is] in a good enough place” - it will be rolled out to other games....

Saber’s Evil Dead game - a co-operative experience that brings together familiar faces from all across the Evil Dead franchise to battle the forces of Darkness - was initially expected to arrive in 2021. However, the developer made the decision to delay its release last August, pushing the game into February 2022 in order to implement a single-player option for those occasions when co-op companions aren’t readily to hand. But with February right around the corner, it now transpires there’s still more work to be done....

However, at this point, it also felt like Volition has focused a bit too much on adding in all this “stuff” to the game, and seemingly at the cost of some polish and finesse. Saints Row was confirmed to be a cross-gen release on its initial announcement last year, and that seems to be a fair market for it. Right now, it just looks and feels like more of a last-gen game than a current one....

Of course, these can be used in many devices, but for a Nintendo Switch SD card, you shouldn’t really need to go beyond the 200GB or 256GB for general use. However, the 400GB card is great value for money should you want to fully futureproof yourself for - essentially - the rest of the Switch’s lifecycle. Plus, you should then be able to bring everything over to the Switch Pro, should the rumours of its existence be proven true....

Though this is a substantial investment in your setup, it is one worth making. If you feel you need even more storage, you can opt for the 2TB model at £206.48 or the 500GB model at £57.49. This gives a more accessible entry point into an SSD-based PC. Designed for intensive workloads and high-spec gaming, this SSD is an essential part of a powerful rig, giving impeccable performance and fantastic load times....

Sea of Thieves’ newly announced Making Mayhem event is, as its name suggest, all about causing a ruckus out on the waves, challenging players to earn Favour with the Bilge Rats by completing a range of different (and largely explosion-focussed) activities. Minor Mayhem challenges give pirates the opportunity to earning a “fair” amount of Favour by doing things like detonating Gunpowder Skeletons in a chain reaction or destroying a Ghost Ship, while Major Mayhem challenges are considerably more lucrative....

These Sekiro patch notes explain what’s changed recently, according to the official patch notes provided by developer From Software itself. If you’re looking for how to defeat the many bosses in the game, then our Sekiro guide, boss list and walkthrough can help. Improvements to Strategic Approaches Adjusted the efficiency and Spirit Emblem cost of the following to encourage usage and diversity of approach: Prosthetic Tools: “Lazulite Sacred Flame,” “Loaded Axe” series, “Sparking Axe,” “Lazulite Axe” Combat Arts: “Ashina Cross,” “Dragon Flash,” “One Mind,” “Floating Passage,” “Spiral Cloud Passage,” “Mortal Draw,” “Empowered Mortal Draw” Items: “Spiritfall” series Reduced the Posture damage dealt by the first hit of the Combat Arts “Senpou Leaping Kicks” and “High Monk” as it was causing more damage than intended in certain cases....

This third entry in developer Flying Wild Hog’s delightfully gaudy FPS reboot - inspired by 3D Realms’ 1997 shooter Shadow Warrior - once again follows the katana-slicing, gun-toting adventures of protagonist Lo Wang, who this time finds himself traversing Neo-Feudal Japan on a quest to recapture an ancient dragon unleashed from its eternal prison. Shadow Warrior 3 expands on the series’ usual free-running-style acrobatic action with a new grappling hook ability, and also brings some tweaks to the core gun-and-sword-play, as more thoroughly detailed in a new PlayStation Blog post....
