Alongside a 14th December release date, CD Projekt Red did actually give us a brief insight into what The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Complete Edition will include. According to the game's official press summary, the enhanced PS5 re-release will sport all of the bells and whistles that you'd expect, while also throwing in some potential surprises. The PS5 edition will feature "dozens of visual, performance, and technical enhancements over the original". This includes things like "ray tracing support" and "faster load times" — but this is where things get interesting. There's mention of "a variety of mods integrated into the experience". Now, The Witcher 3 has always had a healthy modding community on PC, and people have added all kinds of stuff to the game over the years. It  sounds  like some mods may have been cherrypicked and officially added to the adventure. However, there's no indication of how extensive this mod integration wi...

  Chill Season 2022 arrives just in time for you to zone out during those long and sometimes boring family holiday gatherings. CHILL SEASON Splatoon 3   is getting a big update, splashing down on December 1st. Dubbed Chill Season 2022, the update’s adding new weapons, stages, game modes,  and a lot more cool clothes and gear to zhuzh up your octolings . The Salmon Run game mode is also getting a  fish-lift  with the new Big Run game mode. Details on what Big Run is are scarce at the moment, but — according to this hilarious, borderline incomprehensible sentence from the Chill Season 2022 press release — “the first Big Run will take place when the Salmonids invade the Wahoo World stage later this year.” For the more competitive-minded octoling, X Battles are also arriving with the chill update. X Battles happen once players reach a certain  eel-ite  level in Anarchy Battles. Then, they can wager “X Power” to rise through the highest ranks of the leaderb...

It seems the Pokémon developer Creatures could already looking toward the future of the long-running series. A new job listing at the Japanese company for a 3DCG modeler references "research and development for other next-generation hardware". The same application also mentions the use of Unity and Unreal Engine for project development. Creatures Inc. is one of the major Pokémon developers alongside Game Freak and Nintendo. It previously helped out with Pokémon Sword and Shield and Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! on 3DCG modelling. It also worked on Detective Pikachu and is currently developing a sequel. In September, a senior programmer job profile at Creatures referenced work on "one unannounced project" and  Detective Pikachu 2  which is apparently "nearing release".

The best build for Nahida in Genshin Impact is quite complicated as players need to balance her stat out. So far, Archons in  Genshin Impact  have not been disappointing. Venti is still a top-tier crowd controller, Zhongli is the  best shielder in  Genshin Impact , and Raiden Shogun is a tremendously powerful Sub-DPS and battery. Sadly, while many expect Nahida to take a whole new role, she, like Raiden, is also a Sub-DPS. For the Dendro Archon to become a powerful Sub-DPS, players must be familiar with Nahida’s best build in  Genshin Impact . The best build for Nahida in  Genshin Impact highly relies on her team composition  and how good players’ artifacts are. To put it simply,  Nahida has an obvious diminishing return, so Travelers must consider all sorts of stat buffs from Nahida’s team before determining her best build . This is because Nahida’s fourth-ascension passive (A4) allows her to buff her Skill DMG based on her Elemental Mastery (EM)...

How to unlock the M16 in Modern Warfare 2 Unlocking weapons in Modern Warfare 2 is different from previous titles. Several weapons, such as the M16, are now unlocked by using and levelling weapons within families known as 'Platforms'. In the M16's case,  you have to use the 556 Icarus until it reaches level 12 . To unlock the Icarus to do this, you need to level the M4 to level 15. Quite the process! Once unlocked, you'll be ready to start levelling the M16 to open up its customisation options - it's best to use the M16 for a few matches to level it up and unlock its attachment slots. It's worth noting - many attachments are unlocked by levelling other weapons, both in and outside of the M4 Platform. Additionally, if you own the Vault Edition of Modern Warfare 2, you actually have a head start on this process thanks to the FJX Cinder Pack – with this pack, you'll have access to all the attachments and weapons unlocked within the M4 Platform. Modern Warfare 2...

The most frustrating role in Overwatch 2 may be bogging down LFG Overwatch 2  has a support problem, and a few weeks after launch, the lack of support players seems to be worsening queue times.  Our own Alyssa Mercante said in May that  it sucks being an Overwatch 2 support player , and a non-trivial chunk of the game's community now seems to have come to the same conclusion. Many players, including some of the best, are undeniably making support work for them, but recent discussions around the role are largely negative.  "This game isn't fun for support," argues Blizzard forum user  Darrington (opens in new tab) . "With an overemphasized focus on making damage players happy, and curtailing the 'Tank' role to become 'Bigger DPS,' ' I think that A LOT was lost in the transition." (opens in new tab) LegendZach echoed this point in their own pointed post skewering known-support deleters Genji and Sombra, who many expect to be nerfed relative...

​ Gran Turismo series founder Kazunori Yamauchi has taken to Twitter to announce and tease the next update to  Gran Turismo 7 , which will arrive on consoles this coming week. It’s coming a little sooner than anticipated, landing around three weeks after the previous content update on September 29. That’s the shortest interval between content updates yet, with most coming four or five weeks apart — and, with the exception of 1.15 and 1.17, on the last Thursday of each month. Another unusual facet is that the update, which we’re temporarily dubbing 1.25, will bring four new cars instead of the three we’ve seen teased for every update thus far: This set of cars looks relatively easy to identify, although with some qualifiers. Probably the most straightforward is the one in the bottom-left, which looks to be a 1973 Nissan Skyline GT-R. Often dubbed “Kenmeri”, due to a promotional campaign featuring a couple named Ken and Mary, Nissan only produced 19...
