Enjoy the unique world, the epic classical music, and the side-scrolling action in Castlevania Requiem: Symphony of the Night and Rondo of Blood, exclusively for the PlayStation4.

    Fun facts about Symphony of the Night:

    • The Jewel Knuckles are a powerful and quick weapon you can normally get in the Outer Wall once Alucard gains Form of Mist, however, you can get it as well as the Mirror Cuirass early. Once you enter the Outer Wall, go down and to the left to fight an Armor Lord. In the room he’s guarding, destroy the wall for some food and hold down for about 20 seconds to be transported to the room with the items.
    • After completing the game, a few New Game bonuses will be unlocked if you enter the name RICHTER, AXEARMOR or X-X!V’’Q before starting a new game.

    Fun facts about Rondo of Blood:

    • After defeating a boss, don’t think you’re safe yet! Bosses have one final desperation attack that can still get you after you take out their HP meter.

  • Prior To The Fallout 76 Beta Launch, Bethesda Has A Message For Fans

    Bethesda has released a statement to address the developer’s community just prior to the launch of the first Fallout 76 beta. This first beta comes to Xbox One on October 23 at 4 PM PT / 7 PM ET and ends four hours later.

    In the statement, Bethesda highlights just how different Fallout 76 is from the previous games in the franchise. The developer cites the inspiration for Fallout 76 comes from wanting to try something new after feeling as if every previous Bethesda games had “similar DNA.” That said, Bethesda doesn’t want to alienate the fanbase its spent building over the years. “Our worlds, whether it be Fallout, Elder Scrolls, or the coming Starfield, are important places to us,” Bethesda wrote. “We do everything we can to treat them with care. We know they mean just as much to you.”

    Bethesda also acknowledged that it’s treating Fallout 76 a little bit differently from past Fallout titles. Before, the company said that its employees take a small break after the release of a game. With Fallout 76, Bethesda is looking at the game’s launch as if it were the starting line. “Given what we’re doing with 76, we know we’re opening everyone up to all new spectacular issues none of us have encountered,” Bethesda wrote. “Some we’re aware of, such as areas where performance needs to improve with lots of players.”

    Even though the first beta is exclusive to Xbox One, Bethesda is following up with another beta for PS4 and PC on October 30. Although the beta periods are only for a few hours, each one will offer the full Fallout 76 experience. You can only participate in the beta by pre-ordering Fallout 76.

    Fallout 76 releases on November 14 for Xbox One, PS4, and PC.

  • Pokemon Go: Last Chance To Catch A Mewtwo

    The Legendary Psychic Pokemon Mewtwo made its debut in standard Raid Battles last month after initially being limited to EX Raids, giving many Pokemon Go players their first opportunity to capture one. If you haven’t yet done so, your time is running out, as Mewtwo is set to leave Raids very soon.

    The Legendary Psychic Pokemon is scheduled to depart from the game at 1 PM PT / 4 PM ET on October 23, so you have until then to encounter one at Gyms. As is the case with all other Raid Bosses, you’ll first need to team up with other players in-person and battle it. If you manage to defeat the Legendary, you’ll earn a handful of Premier Balls and the chance to capture it.

    Mewtwo remains one of the most popular–and powerful–Legendary Pokemon in the entire series, making it a formidable challenge. On top of that, one of the possible Charged Attacks it can know is Focus Blast, which is super-effective against many Pokemon that would typically have an advantage over it. Your best bet is to challenge Mewtwo using Bug, Dark, and Ghost Pokemon such as Scizor, Tyranitar, and Gengar.

    A lot has been happening in Pokemon Go as of late. Earlier this week, Niantic rolled out the first wave of Gen 4 Pokemon, including the Sinnoh starters Turtwig, Chimchar, and Piplup. There are also a handful of region-exclusive Gen 4 monsters, which have only been appearing in certain parts of the world. No Gen 4 Legendaries have debuted in Pokemon Go just yet, but one–Giratina–was teased at the end of the game’s latest trailer, suggesting it could be on its way fairly soon.

    Pokemon Go’s latest Community Day event took place on Sunday, October 21. During it, players had a much easier time of finding Beldum and hatching Pokemon. They were also able to learn the new attack Meteor Mash by evolving Beldum into a Metagross during the event. You can read everything you need to know about October’s Community Day here.

  • My Hero Academia Game, One's Justice, DLC Characters Announced

    My Hero Academia Game, One's Justice, DLC Characters Announced

    Bandai Namco’s latest anime brawler, My Hero One’s Justice, is set to arrive on PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC later this week. Ahead of its release, the publisher has revealed a couple of DLC characters players will be able to get in the game, one of which will be free to everyone.

    Right from launch, Bandai Namco will offer Shoot Style Izuku Midoriya to all players as a free download. This version of My Hero Academia‘s main protagonist fights primarily using kicks. Once players have downloaded him, Bandai Namco says they’ll be able to purchase missions for Shoot Style Deku through the game’s store.

    Those who pre-order My Hero One’s Justice ahead of its release will get an additional bonus character: Endeavor, the No. 2 ranked hero in Japan and the father of Shoto Todoroki. If you don’t pre-order the game, you’ll still have the option to purchase Endeavor separately as paid DLC. Just as with Shoot Style Deku, everyone will also be able to buy missions for him through the game’s store once he’s been downloaded, although no pricing details have been announced yet.

    In addition to the aforementioned characters, Bandai Namco is releasing a day-one patch for My Hero One’s Justice when the game launches this week. The update will add Arcade mode, a ladder-style tournament that pits players against CPU opponents. Bandai Namco says that completing this mode with different characters will unlock an “exclusive item.”

    My Hero One’s Justice launches for PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC via Steam on October 26. It’s the first game based on My Hero Academia to release in the West and features many of the series’ most recognizable characters, including Izuku Midoriya, Katsuki Bakugo, Tomura Shigaraki, All Might, and more. You can get a better look at My Hero One’s Justice in action in our recent livestream above.

  • Bethesda Knows Fallout 76 Will Have Bugs and Wants Your Help

    In a note to its fans, Bethesda was candid about Fallout 76 being a new endeavor for the company, being a “Fallout-Online-Survival-Game” with functionality Bethesda wasn’t used to implementing into its open-world games. With the Fallout 76 beta starting tomorrow on the Xbox One, the game’s journey from concept to completion still has some hurdles to cross.

  • God of War Director to Deliver PAX South 2019 Keynote

    God of War Director, Cory Barlog, will deliver the opening “Storytime” keynote at PAX South 2019 in San Antonio, TX.

    Barlog served as the lead animator on the original God of War after joining Sony in 2003. He wrote and directed God of War 2, and took home a BAFTA award for his writing. Barlog continued to contribute on the franchise installments, including God of War: Chains of Olympus and God of War: Ghost of Sparta. He later left Sony in 2009 for LucasArts, Crystal Dynamics, among others.

    In 2013, Barlog returned to Sony to direct the newest installment of God of War, which received high praise across the board.

    “Doing a sequel to a beloved game is a unique challenge, and so is rebooting a franchise for a modern audience – Cory Barlog has done both,” Co-founder of Penny Arcade, Jerry Holkins said. “We’re overjoyed to have him join us at PAX South. If I get the chance, I’m gonna tell him about this place I know in San Antonio where they make the guacamole with Orange Juice instead of Lime. It sounds crazy, but it works.”
