WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers – Official Trailer | Xbox Partner Preview October 2024 – YouTube

Watch On
Where the developers for games like Black Myth: Wukong and Phantom Blade Zero have come out and said they aren’t making a Soulslike, Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is a loud-and-proud “Soulslike action RPG” set in a horror fiction take on the late Ming Dynasty. I got this vibe from its reveal earlier this year, and the new trailer fresh from today’s Xbox partner showcase seals the deal with phrenetic bosses and plentiful parries that are ringing my Sekiro alarms. There’s thankfully a lot more gameplay this time. Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is a third-person action game promising a distinctly darker take on the Chinese history and mythology that’s (rather excitingly) becoming more prominent nowadays. Our hero, the female pirate Wuchang, is a one-woman army sporting dual swords, glaives, straight swords, magic clubs, magic flames, a spear gun, a flamethrower, a Sephiroth-esque blood wing, and a shotgun lightning bow. Let’s not forget the feathered arm, either – evidently a sign of Wuchang’s mixed bloodline. The sheer variety of weapons and attacks reminds me a bit of Nioh, a…

Delta Force, the tactical first-person shooter from 1998, is back and more explosive than ever, and it’s one of the most popular Steam Next Fest demos.At the moment, developer Team Jade’s Delta Force reboot is both the most-wishlisted Next Fest demo and the demo with the most active daily players. For FPS fans, it’s easy to see why. Team Jade, an offshoot of Call of Duty: Mobile developer TiMi, seems to have created a chillingly realistic free-to-play military shooter with a bevy of engaging game modes.Rather, soon-to-be engaging game modes. Team Jade promises in Delta Force’s Steam description that the early access version of the game, which does not yet have a release date, will include an extraction mode and large-scale PvP.Until then, the story goes like this: you’re a Delta Force army operative, in either the year 1993 or 2035, and your job is to gun stuff down. The 1993 timeline is a recreation of the original Delta Force’s Black Hawk Down sequel from 2003, which gets players dirty in the real-life Battle of Mogadishu, a disastrous fight with hundreds of casualties.In Team Jade’s version, Black Hawk Down exists in Unreal Engine. It renders Somalia’s markets and rubble in stea…

Halls of Torment has already been tearing up sales charts during its early access tenure, and now that it’s out in full, this bullet-hell roguelike in ’90s RPG clothing is one of the year’s best-rated releases.In case the trailer below doesn’t slap you across the face with its influences, Halls of Torment’s gist is that it’s basically a Vampire Survivors-style survival roguelike where you descend into the underworld and fight against increasingly dense hordes until the screen’s literally flooding with projectiles and pixel blood – but it’s all wrapped up in Diablo 2’s nostalgic retro aesthetics and a “quest-based meta progression.”

After spending 17 months in early access and drawing in a crowd of 900,000 total players, developer Chasing Carrot properly launched the game on September 24, where it was almost immediately met with universal praise. More than 23,000 Steam user reviews have ‘overwhelmingly positive’ things to say about its devilishly moreish loop, making it easily one of the highest-rated and best roguelikes of 2024.”Fight unholy horrors from beyond and survive wave after wave of enemies until you face on…

Wren and Reynold are my new best friends. Or rather, Wren is, since her twin brother has just been snatched away. It’s my job to rescue him in Costume Quest, one of the sweetest, silliest, most charming games I’ve ever found on Xbox Game Pass that now has me battling enemies called Grubbins on one fateful October night. Despite its mechanical simplicity, there’s a timeless and cheeky joy about it that speaks to the very spirit of Halloween, and I couldn’t be happier to have stumbled upon Costume Quest in time for spooky season..Much as in my favorite episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the “oldest” twin Wren gains special abilities from the costumes she wears. From the Knight’s shiny armor to the Robot’s speed-walking special move, Wren’s imagination allows her to embody the strengths of these popular Halloween characters. Her mission is simple: rescue her brother from the Grubbins beyond the spooky gate, who have kidnapped Reynold for the crime of his costume resembling a giant piece of candy corn. Candy seems to be a weakness for the Grubbins, the cause of the chaos they wreak this Halloween. But as I explore the town of Auburn Pines, gathering candy and materials for new costum…

The Silent Hill 2 Remake Hospital padlock code is one of the first challenges in Brookhaven, with the Reception Area keybox having a lock on it and no clear way to get it open, at least while it hasn’t yet occurred to James he could smash the glass like he did every single car windshield on the way here. Finding the combination isn’t too hard once you know how though, based on something written on a Nurse’s memo and the photographs in the lobby. If you want to pop the padlock in the hospital reception area, here’s how the Silent Hill 2 Remake is hiding the code from you.Hospital Reception Area padlock code in Silent Hill 2 Remake explained The Silent Hill 2 Remake hospital reception padlock code is 724. As with the previous  Silent Hill 2 Remake motel safe code, you should be able to open the padlock and keybox without having to complete the puzzle with that code alone, but if you want to find it organically, I can explain.More Silent Hill 2 Remake guidesSilent Hill 2 Remake jukebox

How to beat Eddie

Weaknesses, tips and strategies

The Silent Hill 2 Remake Eddie fight is one of the game’s toughest bosses, and has been built up to for a while. Occurring after you complete the Labyrinth sequence and explore every combination of the Silent Hill 2 Remake rotating cube puzzle, Eddie finally turns his dwindling sanity on James – which wouldn’t be so concerning if he wasn’t armed with a giant revolver in a funhouse abattoir. The Eddie fight can be surprisingly difficult, and is all balancing a mix of speed, cover and perception, as Eddie’s strategy is to lunge out of the darkness and try to gun you down without warning – something you can’t let happen, considering the lethality of that revolver. If you need a helping hand, here’s how to beat the Eddie boss fight in Silent Hill 2 Remake, with weaknesses, tips and strategies laid out.How to beat the Eddie fight in Silent Hill 2 Remake The fight against Eddie in Silent Hill 2 Remake is one broken into three stages broken up by short cutscenes, but the only major difference here isn’t Eddie, but the environment, as first he creates a cloud of obscuring mist, and then the hanging meat of the slaug…

Killing Floor 3 is set to land in 2025, promising the sort of destruction and dismemberment that we’ve come to know and love from this long-running FPS franchise. Developer Tripwire Interactive is going all-out for the sequel, utilizing Unreal Engine 5 to dial up the detail as you and up to four other friends get to work clearing hordes of zombies up off the streets. The Killing Floor series has represented some of the best co-op and best FPS games of the last decade, so I’m certainly keen to see how Tripwire pushes new technological boundaries to create more carnage than ever before. From what we have seen and played of it so far, there’s an absolutely disgusting amount of depth, blood, and gore. Which is perfect. So while we wait for more info, let’s get you caught up on everything we know so far about Killing Floor 3.  Killing Floor 3 release date speculation The Killing Floor 3 release date has been set for 2025. Tripwire Interactive is yet to put anything firmer on the new games of 2025 release calendar, but teases out of Gamescom 2024 would indicate that the developer is targeting the first half of the new year. Killing Floor 3 platforms  Tripwire Intera…

Life is Strange: Double Exposure is almost here, with the new adventure to set enter an early access period on October 15, 2024. This one is well worth paying attention to, as developer Deck Nine brings about the return of original Life is Strange protagonist Max Caulfield. A lot has changed since we last saw Max, but with a new mystery to solve and new supernatural powers to control, I can’t wait to dive in. Deck Nine has quietly delivered some of the best adventure games in recent years, and its work on the Life is Strange series has been sublime. That’s one of the reasons Life is Strange: Double Exposure has been one of my most anticipated new games of 2024 ever since it was revealed at the Xbox Game Showcase. It’s almost here now, so while we wait for release let’s get you caught up with all the latest Life is Strange: Double Exposure news and gameplay details. Life is Strange Double Exposure release date  The Life is Strange Double Exposure release date is set for October 29, 2024 on PC, Xbox Series X, and PS5.

To get your items back in Silent Hill 2 Remake after the hotel basement and employee section downstairs isn’t easy – the cabinet you left your items in isn’t hidden by any means, but considering you left your map in there too… yeah, it’s not easy to find your way back. It’s doesn’t even seem mandatory that you go back there – you could always press on without any of the equipment or Silent Hill 2 Remake weapons you’ve spent all that time collecting, and admittedly there isn’t much game left at this point. Still, what’s ahead is pretty ruthless and you’ll definitely want to be armed for the best chance at survival, so here’s how to find the weapon cabinet by the elevator and get your items and equipment back in Silent Hill 2 Remake.How to get equipment back after the hotel basement in Silent Hill 2 Remake After leaving the hotel basement in Silent Hill 2 Remake, to get your items, weapons, maps and equipment back, you need to find the cabinet in the employee elevator section, where you left that gear before you went down and encountered challenges like the ceiling-walking monsters and Silent Hill 2 Remake gem box puzzle.

RuneScape’s original creator Andrew Gower is returning to MMOs a little later than planned because a certain political event happens to land on November 5.Brighter Shores marks Gower’s return to the genre with all the isometric perspectives, low-poly visuals, humble fantasy world, and life sim nuggets that made RuneScape a household name. The new MMO was once supposed to hit Steam early access on November 5, following a closed beta period starting on October 22, but it was apparently delayed to its new date because two politicians are competing to rule over the American machine on the very same day.”We have decided to push the launch of Brighter Shores back to [November 6], because apparently there is some sort of election thingy on the 5th,” Gower tweeted. “Who knew?!”Jokes aside, he’s obviously referring to the US presidential election between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, which is sure to dominate headlines and suck up attention from every other corner of the internet on November 5. On the flip side, at least anyone looking forward to Brighter Shores doesn’t need to choose between voting and rotting in a desk chair with a new MMO all day.But there’s no rush, regardless of when…
