Competition is fierce in the multiplayer space, to say the very least, but thanks to the license it’s carrying as well as how promising it’s looked thus far, the upcoming Marvel Rivals seems to be in a solid position to make a strong impression whenever it releases. Ahead of its release, developer NetEase Games has also provided some further details on some of its multiplayer features.

More specifically, speaking in a recent interview with Wccftech, game director Thad Sasser confirmed that though cross-platform multiplayer will be supported, there’s less clarity right now on whether the same can be said about cross-progression. As per Sasser, the development team is aware of the demand for the feature, but implementing it is easier said than …

Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess might not be one of Capcom’s flagship, blockbuster releases, but it is the company’s next release, and having looked promising with its showings in the lead-up to launch, it’s generated a fair bit of excitement. Ahead of its imminent release, Capcom has offered extensive new details on the game.

Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess will take players to a Japanese-inspired setting, where your main goal will be to free the villages that you visit from the corruption that grips them. The game’s core loop will revolve around a day/night cycle, with daytime being spent to explore and restore villages, and nighttime being focused on combat.

Combat, meanwhile, will be focused on real-time strategy…

Pugstorm’s Core Keeper exited early access last month for PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, adding new playstyles like summoning and content like a new end-game area and final boss. However, the developer promised more updates post-launch, including quality-of-life improvements. Patch 1.0.0.6 is available now and provides some much-needed buffs for minions.

Alongside doubling their lifespan, they also cost less mana to summon, meaning less time spent running around, waiting for your meter to recharge. The cost of summoning idols for the Giant Slime, Hive Mother, and Ghorm the Devourer have also been reduced.

Perhaps the best changes are those made to slippery movement, whose effects have been reduced (making The Sunken Sea less painful). Vehicle and boat…

There&#82sports betting17;s been a litany of games that have added PS5 Pro enhancements since the console’s launch earlier this month, but one of the most well-supported games in recent years – especially on the single-player side of things – won’t be receiving any such upgrades, at least for the foreseeable future.

Cyberpunk 2077 has transformed into one of the best and most visually and technically impressive games available on current-gen consoles, but developer CD Projekt RED doesn’t intend to enhance the game for the PS5 Pro. Responding to a question about the same on Twitter, the studio wrote, “We currently have no plans for [a] PS5 Pro patch.”

CD Projek…

Dragon Quest has never failed to sell well in Japan, and unsurprisingly, the recently-released Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake has got off to an impressive start in the region as well.

El Salvador players have alleged that they were approached by a businessman seeking to fix Tuesday s World Cup qualifier against Canada.

The squad held a press conference on Monday in which an audio recording was played that they insist proves their claim.

In the recording, it is alleged that a Salvadoran businessman outlines an offer from a Honduran associate to incentivise the players to get a result.

While El Salvador cannot progress to the next phase of qualifying, Canada can overhaul Honduras in Group A and go through at their expense – but only on goal difference, with a five-goal deficit to overhaul.

It is claimed the players would have been paid $30 for every minute played in a win, $20 for a tie and $15 for a loss of no greater than one goal, o…

In a time when single player campaigns weren’t shaped or undermined by their online counterparts, the games released from 2000 to 2009 exhibited innovativeness in terms of gameplay and story (and sometimes both), with the fifteen featured here all standing the test of time.

Grand Theft Auto IV

With the hype surrounding GTA VI plus GTA: The Trilogy’s semi-recent release, GTA IV’s foray through Liberty City’s grimy suburbs has become an outcast. Granted, most of you have complete…

Robert Lewandowski has no plans to leave Bayern Munich before his contract expires in 2021, but accepts football s cut-throat nature could one day lead to the club telling him that he is not needed.

Lewandowski has represented remarkable value for Bayern since joining when his contract expired at Borussia Dortmund in 2014, scoring 82 Bundesliga goals in 100 appearances so far.

But his future is arguably as cloudy as it has ever been at Bayern, with the Poland star recently incurring the wrath of club CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge with criticism of their transfer policy.

Stefan Effenberg also criticised Lewandowski and urged Bayern to sell him, with speculation recently linking Real Madrid with interest in the 29-year-old.

But Lewandowski distanced himself fro…

Manchester City advanced to the fourth round of the EFL Cup as second-half goals from Gael Clichy and Aleix Garcia secured a 2-1 victory over Swansea City, although Vincent Kompany appeared to pick up an injury late in the contest.

In a tightly-contested clash at the Liberty Stadium, holders City clicked into gear after the break, Garcia effectively secured progression with just over 20 minutes remaining, after Clichy s second goal for the club had put Pep Guardiola s side ahead shortly after the restart.

Kompany left the field late in his first competitive appearance since May, substitute Gylfi Sigurdsson having pulled a goal back for Swansea in injury time to ensure a nervy conclusion for the visitors.

The Swans had gone closest to taking the lead prior to the …
