In a recent interview with Japanese outlet Gamer (transcribed on Reddit), producer and director Naoki Yoshida discussed development of the recently added Crystalline Conflict PvP mode. One idea was a battle royale mode featuring only blue mages - the unique job that learns skills and magic by battling enemies. The mode would take place in a large arena with a gradually shrinking battle area, as is typical of the genre....

In the village there’s a house with an orchard of olive and apricot trees. It was converted from a barn in the late 60s by my grandfather, an architect from Geneva. It’s still owned by my mum and her sisters. I’ve been holidaying there since I was born (I was named after the olive trees); I’ve made a visit in more than half of the last fortysomething years. But not since 2018, because I had a baby and then you-know-what happened....
It’s not all doom and gloom - humanity still survives above the clouds, though it’s not looking great for us either.

Staff on the project previously worked on Dying Light, Divinity Original Sin, Outriders and League of Legends....
That’s the claim made by The Verge, whose sources suggest this week’s data breach “seemed inevitable” based on their time working at Twitch, alleging a company culture “where employees were very concerned about safety but management less so.” “There would be constant questions and discontent about the regular moderation failures,” a source told the publication, noting the company would respond to issues raised “very slowly.” As The Verge puts it, “If [a feature] wasn’t generating revenue, then it wasn’t valued as highly....

This challenge went live during Week 9 of this season, joining other epic quests such as dance on an abductor or as a passenger on a saucer and carry an alien sample from a Satellite Station’s Dish to an entrance of Corny Complex. This one in particular asks you to use one of the latest alien weapons added to the game, the Grab-itron, and launch a total of two toilets with it....
Such as the past few weeks, the first quest in this set involves using one of the payphones across the Fortnite map, and it’s followed with the tasks to damage an opponent in the Slurpy Swamp abduction site, collect a Grab-itron, place video cameras at different Landing Ship locations and visit an Abductor. The task to visit Slurp Factory inside the Mothership is rather straightforward, and shouldn’t take you much time to complete if you know where to head to....

Of course, with Catty Corner being a new location, you might need some pointers of how to get there in the first place. Note this particular challenge is no longer able to be completed....
The first franchise from the film and TV giant to appear in the game is expected to be Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, according to a fresh report by XboxEra. There’s no word on when exactly those heroes in a half shell will arrive, and Fortnite has a bustling schedule of new content arrivals and things to buy in its shop. Leaks for the latter part of the current season point to a pizza consumable being added - which could either be part of a TMNT event, or another tie-in to Fortnite’s ongoing Spider-Man crossover....
Though not remotely confirmed - so just take this with the proverbial bucket of salt for now until we’re told anything more conclusive - journalist and podcaster Nick Baker said on the Xbox Era podcast that Microsoft’s first-party shooter franchise may be getting the “Master Chief Collection-type treatment”. You can see/hear it for yourself in the video below: “A while back I said there is another Microsoft franchise that’s getting the Master Chief Collection-type treatment, I am of the belief that that is coming this year,” Baker said, as spotted by our friends at VGC, adding “everyone has guessed it” and prompting his co-hosts to say “Gears”....

As our friends at Eurogamer Germany report, Rare’s N64 classic is no longer on Germany’s list of media that cannot be advertised or sold to minors. What’s interesting is GoldenEye 007’s removal from the index comes a year before the expiration that would have occurred automatically after 25 years, which means it was actively removed for some purpose. What purpose could that be? Eurogamer Germany speculates GoldenEye 007 may now end up as one of the games included in the Switch Online ‘Expansion Pack’ service....
Spiritfarer, if you’ve not yet had the pleasure, casts players as Stella - a “ferrymaster to the deceased” who builds a boat to roam a mystical ocean and escort animal spirits toward the afterlife. What follows is an unusual, but thoroughly captivating blend of conflict-free platforming, farming, fishing, cooking, mining, and crafting that’s even playable co-operatively, with a friend taking on the role of Daffodil the cat. Eurogamer contributor Malindy Hetfeld enjoyed Spiritfarer immensely, awarding it a Recommended badge when she reviewed it last year, and those equally smitten now have more to look forward to courtesy of Thunder Lotus’ continuing post-launch development....
