Action RPG

Beginning September 11th, seasoned players who have traversed The Night multiple times will have an opportunity to engage in a challenging game mode that promises increased difficulty. However, let me clarify what makes this mode particularly tough:

This mode is designed for those players who are already quite proficient and have faced The Night numerous times. But what sets it apart from the regular gameplay is its enhanced level of challenge. This means that players will encounter more complex scenarios, tougher enemies, and more challenging obstacles to overcome. So if you’re up for a real test of your skills and strategy, this new mode should provide quite the thrill!

To start off, let me clarify that Elden Ring and Elden Ring: Nightreign are distinct games with unique experiences. While Elden Ring is primarily a solo soulslike game, Elden Ring: Nightreign focuses on co-op and extraction gameplay. The comparison isn’t perfect, but the idea of having a teammate to help you in difficult situations, whom I like to call your personal “Let Me Solo Her,” does make challenges less daunting.

In a humorous twist, I find the mentality of “We can’t go down, but we can sure as hell go up” amusing.

In simpler terms, starting from September 11, Elden Ring Nightreign will introduce a challenging new mode called “Deep of Night.” This mode features five increasingly difficult levels. Notably, it brings several alterations to the original game.

The newly discovered location houses an industrial facility, featuring unusual red vegetation, dubbed as the “red strain” origin by Rebellion. Stepping inside, it’s clear that this structure belongs to the organization known as C.O.R.E., who even have guard robots at their disposal. As usual, there are numerous mysteries to unravel, with further details to be disclosed in the upcoming weeks.

It appears that Warhorse Studios themselves are uncertain about their Game of the Year chances due to outstanding games like Clair Obscur. However, a closer look at their recent Twitch stream showcasing Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2’s Legacy of the Forge DLC has me reconsidering. This expansion isn’t just an exciting addition to the game; it’s also one of the most significant post-launch upgrades seen in a game since Elden Ring’s Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, and there’s even more content planned.

In Titan Quest II, you play as a character pursued by the vengeful goddess Nemesis who, having destroyed Sparta twenty years prior, now seeks your demise, seeing you as her only potential downfall. Although it’s still in early access with around five hours of story content available, the game successfully entices and leaves me eager for more, as I journeyed through various plotlines. During my brief time, I fled the ruin of my homeland, engaged in battles against deities, delved into the enigmatic domains of celestial realms, and battled countless crustaceans – yes, many crabs!

It was swiftly assumed by enthusiasts that Kingdom Come: Deliverance 3 might not materialize, and should another game in the series emerge, it’s unlikely to feature Henry from Skalitz as its protagonist.

Although FromSoftware refrained from showing footage of the updated game during Gamescom, Bandai Namco took the initiative to reveal a brief clip of one of the game’s forthcoming new classes. Despite being powerful, it won’t be acing its GCSEs any time soon.

It seems that according to sources like IGN and Nintendo Life, the Tarnished Edition of Elden Ring is reportedly running sluggishly, with a rather messy appearance. Players who’ve tried it at this year’s Gamescom have described it as surprisingly poor, with Nintendo Life’s Felix Sanchez stating that the frame rate (FPS) resembles around 20 frames per second, occasionally dropping to 15 in certain areas. The textures have been criticized as muddy and of low resolution, suggesting that the game doesn’t seem to prioritize visual quality over performance.

This development is especially disheartening when considering the handheld market’s standards: devices like the Steam Deck have been smoothly running Elden Ring for several years now, making this a concerning sign for the upcoming Switch 2. However, there’s speculation that this current state of shoddiness might be attributable to FromSoftware, which could potentially lead to challenges ahead.

Originally launched in its homeland on December 27th of last year, the game is now scheduled for a global release on PlayStation consoles starting November 14th. Fortunately, this isn’t another September release date, right?
