Valorant, the next game from League of Legends maker Riot Games, has been officially unveiled. Valorant, previously known by its codename, Project A, is a 5v5 character-based tactical shooter due out in the summer. Much of what was in last week’s Valorant leak was accurate, but the game’s official website thankfully has a few more details. Riot’s opening salvo pitches Valorant as a precise, lethal shooter with 128Hz tickrate servers, capable of running at up to 144fps....

The trailer is very short, but it’s a reminder of how good Witchfire looks in motion, and how far it’s come since it was originally revealed.

We sadly still don’t have a release date, but it’s supposed to be hitting early access on the Epic Games Store in the relatively near future....

It is Housemarque’s most ambitious game to date, bringing together elements from the team’s history with arcade-style games and pushing forward in terms of production value and scope. Housemarque is also attempting to tell a story with its world, something the studio rarely does....

Word is spreading that Sony’s new PS5 might have bug that interferes with downloads. It appears there is a chance you can get stuck in an error loop when downloading games that stops you from actually gaining access to a title. Three members of IGN staff have encountered the problem. When a game is first set to download, it can get stuck with either an error or ‘Queued for Download’ message....

How do you get the Recycler in Raft? You need to build the Recycler first, and for that, you need a Recycler blueprint. Travel to the Radio Tower, the first major location from early in the game and the same place you find Tala, and climb up to the top of the tower to find the blueprint. To make the Recycler, you need to study the blueprint at a research table....

Typically these ban messages just show the usernames of accounts caught by Rainbow Six: Siege’s anti-cheat to all players in-game, acting as a kind of permanent flex and reminder that the team are constantly bashing Ne’er-do-wells with the ban hammer. However, since hackers have figured out how to display any image they like rather than the usual ban message, this ban announcement has transformed into a funnel that devious players can use to funnel whatever jokes and inappropriate content they want directly into the eyesight of the wider community....

You can find the Legendary Owiza Bear in Red Dead Online wandering around the Dakota River, particularly at night and under heavy rainfall. During the day near Little Creek River, be on the lookout for the Legendary Ridgeback Spirit Bear. You can distinguish it from others due to the red stripe down its back. Both are rather aggressive, so keep that in mind while trying to get a reward for a free Hat up to Rank 15....

The answer reads, “A persistent online connection is required for single player and co-op,” and that’s it. So, if you’re planning on playing Redfall come May 2, 2023, you’ll need a stable internet connection to do so, even when playing single player. This, ultimately, isn’t great for those with unstable internet connections that prefer gaming offline, and will no doubt put some players off purchasing the title. Let’s also not forget about inevitable server issues, which can see the game be completely inaccessible for players during maintenance and other issues....

In a new post over on Reddit, the studio has gone into detail about how it’ll resolve a problem in the game for players that suffered the infamous inventory wipe bug that plagued the game at launch. “Items granted will have the same attribute combinations but with god roll values,” says the update from the developer. “This means that these items will be at least the same if not better quality than the originally lost items....

Returnal, the new game from Housemarque, has been fairly well received thus far. Though the studio’s decision to make a rogue-like certainly faced some criticism, one feature - or lack thereof - is responsible for a lot of the negativity around the game. As pointed out in early reviews, including our own, Returnal does not allow players to save their progress mid-run. The main thing that carries over between runs is a single currency, as well as some story-specific and gameplay progression-specific items....

In it, you will build your team from famous characters such as Dracula, the Headless Horseman, and Bloody Mary....

Regardless of how believable this particular story is, Aaronfrogger did manage to snap a few screenshots of various areas of the game, including maps not seen in the beta, Portal mode, the game’s menus, as well as what looks to be the full set of weapons available at launch. Assuming that what we’re looking at won’t be expanded with a day one patch, the list of weapons is particularly slim....

PT arrived as an obscure demo in 2014. It wasn’t until a short while later that someone figured the enigma out, and realised it was for an upcoming Silent Hill game. Then, Silent Hills was cancelled after a fallout between Konami and Hideo Kojima, leaving PT to be removed from the PlayStation Store and to fade into obscurity. That said, people have been chasing the PT high ever since. There’s been various PC clones of the demo, many of them great but none of them perfect, and of course, in light of news regarding a jailbreak for the PS5, many tried their luck at installing PT once more....
