More details on Guerrilla Games' Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores expansion coming next month. This expansion will only be available on the PlayStation 5, despite the fact that the main game was a crossgen release.
Game Director Matijs de Jong spoke on PlayStation.Blog about how using the power of the PS5 helped the developers take Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores to the next level. The developers were able to focus only on the PlayStation 5 without thinking about optimization plans for the PlayStation 4, which allowed them to move forward with many things.
Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores will have an incredible battle scene that requires a lot of memory and processing power to implement it both technically and creatively. Thanks to the capabilities of the PlayStation 5, developers were able to create certain simulations at a higher speed, which allowed for a more realistic result and improved gameplay. The expansion is scheduled for release on April 19, where Aloy will travel to the southern United States and visit the wild lands of the destroyed Los Angeles, which has turned into a dangerous volcanic archipelago.
Reports of a possible closure of Call of Duty: Mobile have come amid ongoing disputes with regulators around the world in connection with a deal between Microsoft and Activision Blizzard. Despite this, players who had spent significant sums on the game began to contact the developers with questions and concerns. In response, the company stated that they had developed a massive roadmap for long-term support for the game.
Call of Duty: Mobile players are worried about the future of the game following a statement from a Microsoft spokesperson that the smartphone shooter might be shutting down after the release of Warzone Mobile. However, Activision Blizzard has assured fans that it has no plans to stop supporting the game.
Call of Duty: Mobile is one of the most popular shooters on mobile devices and brought in over $3 billion in its first year of existence.
Following the deal between Microsoft and Activision Blizzard, many Diablo IV fans are wondering if the game will be available on Game Pass. However, Diablo's general manager, Rod Rod Fergusson, stated that the team has no plans to add the game to the service at this time.
Earlier, the head of Xbox, Phil Spencer, stated the main goal of the company - to make games available to everyone, everywhere. Following the completion of the ActiBlizz deal, it is planned to add games such as Overwatch, Diablo and Call of Duty to Game Pass.
However, if the Activision Blizzard deal goes through, Ferguson's team may reconsider. Microsoft is not shy about adding its own major releases to the service's library on release day, as it did with Forza Horizon 5 and Age of Empires IV. However, Blizzard may decide not to include Diablo IV on Game Pass until regulatory authorities in the US, UK and Europe approve the deal.
In the coming days, Diablo IV pre-orders will have access to the "beta" from March 17 to March 19, with pre-downloads starting March 15 at 6:00 pm. For everyone else, access to the game will open on March 24-26, but it will be possible to download the game in advance from March 22 at 18:00. Players will be able to fully complete the prologue and the first act, and for reaching level 20, a decorative item is given - "Beta the Wolf Cub Backpack".
Resident Evil 4 remake, хотя еще не вышел, уже взлетел на шестую строчку топ-10 самых популярных игр в Steam, без учета условно-бесплатных тайтлов, благодаря предварительным заказам и успешной релизу демоверсии. Лидером продаж в этот раз стал портативный игровой компьютер Steam Deck, сместивший на второе место (action) Sons of the Forest. Ролевая игра Hogwarts Legacy поднялась на три позиции и заняла третье место. Однако, соулслайк Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty от создателей Nioh 1-2, стартовавший под номером 3, вылетел из десятки. Шутер Atomic Heart продолжает стремительно падать вниз и сейчас находится на 44-ой строчке в общем зачете.

Everyone praises the new series The Last of Us, and we are not far behind! The audience flooded the Internet with praise, and the creator of the game, Neil Druckmann, says that he is already busy with the next project and hints that this is not the third part of The Last of Us. Looks like fans will have to wait a little longer before they can return to a post-apocalyptic world with a fungus-infectious zombie.
The Naughty Dog team is also working on The Last of Us multiplayer, and according to Druckmann, it will be the most ambitious project they've ever done. But this time, apparently, he decided to take a break and watch from the sidelines, because he is not the main writer or director.
The series has collected more viewers than the broadcast of the Oscar ceremony! It seems we love post-apocalypse more than brilliant Hollywood stars. So let's all continue to enjoy the end of the world and forget about those nerds with their golden figurines!
Well folks, we live in a time where rumors of console ports of games to PC are more exciting than the games themselves! And here is today's protagonist - Nixxes and their new "potential port" from PlayStation to PC.
Recently, Reddit users found a fun job at a studio looking for a UI programmer for AAA PC games. But the most interesting thing is that experience using Coherent is required. What it is? It is a middleware for creating in-game user interfaces used in Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart by Insomniac Games on the PlayStation.
Now let's figure out what it all means. Nixxes has already ported Spider-Man to PC, and Insomniac Games is a Coherent Labs client. Accordingly, the next step could be a PC port of Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. And yes, we'll be playing a game we've already played on PlayStation again, because why not? Hopefully this time we will have 120 FPS and keyboard and mouse support so we can enjoy the fun of shooting from around the corner and one-touch jumping.
But who knows, maybe it's just a rumor and we'll never see a PC port of Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. But if this happens, then get ready to lose a few dozen more hours of your life on a game that you have already completed. Life is one big circle, as they say.
But this is not just an updated version, but also with a historical touch - the first black actress Halle Bailey received the main role of Ariel. Naturally, this caused support and enthusiasm from the community, as well as a bunch of negative comments. Well, as they say, live and learn.
The trailer showed Bailey swimming underwater singing "Part of Your World". In addition to her, the film stars Javier Bardem as King Triton, Melissa McCarthy as Ursula, David Diggs as Sebastian and Okwefina as Scuttle. But the most emotional part for Bailey seems to have been seeing the reaction of young black girls to the trailer. True, she sat and cried all night in response to positive reviews, but nothing, we are all so sensitive here.
All in all, the movie is set to premiere on May 26, 2023, directed by Rob Marshall and written by Jane Goldman and David Magee. In the meantime, we will wait to find out how the underwater world will look like in the new "Mermaid".
