What to Know About the Upcoming Gotham Nights PC Game Release
It’s no secret that 2021 was a bit of a letdown in terms of game releases, but 2022 has come back with a roar with many titles being released already. One that has gamers excited is Gotham Nights, which currently has a release date of Oct. 25, 2022. While it sounds like a long way off still, it’s only a few months and before you know it the game will arrive, so why not learn all you can in the meantime? Let’s break down the details that have been released and what you should know about the upcoming Gotham Nights game. Don’t Expect to See Batman The first key piece of information came as a surprise to some since the game takes place in the Batman universe. Contrary to what you may have thought, Gotham Nights will not have Batman in it. But don’t let this sway you from checking it out as you can play as Robin, Red Hood, Batgirl or even Nightwing instead. So, where’s Batman? He was killed in a Batcave explosion, which is why you’ll need to play as another hero that can keep Gotham safe. Why the Game Is Promising Every big release always touts many promises to capture the attention of players. Gotham Nights is no different and sets the stage for an interactive and dynamic open-world experience. It takes place across five of the district boroughs within Gotham City, giving you lots of terrain and ground to cover so it stays interesting and challenging. Go ahead and check out co-op multiplayer, drop-in drop-out with a friend, or solo game modes — whatever you’re in the mood for. As for the villains, look for such characters as the Court of Owls and Mr. Freeze. Why Was It Delayed? For those gamers who have been following the news of Gotham Nights from the beginning, you’ll know that this one was delayed. It was originally set to launch in March 2021, but the developers announced they needed more time to ensure a better gaming experience. While that’s understandable, it has also put added pressure on the developers to release something truly spectacular, free of bugs and issues, and a unique experience. There’s Still Time to Upgrade Your System With a new game such as Gotham Nights, you can bet there are some basic system requirements that you’ll need to have. This is the time to look into those requirements, make sure you’re covered, and if not, invest in a new PC set-up. These curved gaming monitors at Lenovo are a great option since curved monitors can provide you with a more immersive gaming experience, which means you can enjoy Gotham Nights to the fullest extent. If you’re a fan of Batman and the Batman universe, you’ll want to ensure your system is good to go and that you’re ready to pick up Gotham Nights the moment it is released. The buzz is continuing to build with this title and reviewers and gamers alike have high expectations.
The Callisto Protocol Gets Release Date Scheduled For December This Holiday
While the Dead Space IP was on hiatus for just about a decade, Glen Schofield who worked on the original entry went on to form Striking Distance and reveal The Callisto Protocol to the world. Announced at The Game Awards 2020, the game is set on the moon of Jupiter Callisto as a prisoner must fight his way through an otherworldly outbreak taking place on the rock. From the footage that was shown at the time, it was certain plenty of inspiration came from Schofield’s first project whilst the new entry does bring a larger sense of mystery to how the story will evolve to the prior project. In February 2021, Skydance arranged a partnership to being a strategic advisor for the game. From the PlayStation State of Play livestream on Thursday, The Callisto Protocol is officially arriving this December. You can watch the gameplay trailer in the video below: “Horror starts with atmosphere. Callisto is an oppressive world that feels desolate, isolated, and puts players on edge. We spend a ton of time designing the lighting to create a sense of dread and keep players guessing about what’s in the shadows,” Schofield explains in the creative decisions for the game. “We also obsess over building and releasing tension. You can’t have jump scares around every corner. “Sometimes we space scares out to give players time to catch their breath, and sometimes we hit them with two or three scares in a row. We want your heart to race with every tick of the PS5’s awesome haptics. From the satisfying swing of Jacob’s stun baton, to the heavy footsteps of a massive enemy, the PS5 helps us make players feel every moment of the pulse-pounding tension. “What would a horror game be without brutality? Striking Distance Studios has designed a strategic combat system that forces players to get up close and personal with our horrifying creatures. We seamlessly blend melee combat and gunplay with a unique gravity weapon called the GRP.” Are you excited for The Callisto Protocol? The Callisto Protocol ships on December 2, 2022 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC. Source: PlayStation Blog

BioWare Reveals Title For Next Dragon Age Game To Be ‘Dreadwolf’
For those that might still remember, The Game Awards 2018 is where BioWare officially announced its plans for the next Dragon Age game. Despite the long-time wait since then, little detail regarding the project has been shared. But in 2020 is when BioWare opened up more on the project. In August fans got a glimpse at some concept art from a behind-the-scenes trailer from the team. Additionally, The Game Awards 2020 in December featured a teaser trailer for the patient fans still awaiting more on the game. According to Bloomberg in a separate report, the next Dragon Age got new information regarding the direction of the project. Namely players will find a single-player experience which strives away from online aspect included in Dragon Age Inquisition. On Thursday, BioWare revealed the official title for the next Dragon Age game, ‘Dreadwolf’. This comes full circle from the initial reveal in 2018 which referenced the Dreadwolf in the trailer. More information is said to be showcased later on this year which gets some fans excited for sure. Solas, the Dread Wolf. Some say he might be an ancient elven god, but some say not. Others say a betrayer of his people…or a savior who now seeks to rescue them at the cost of your world. His motives are inscrutable and his methods sometimes questionable, earning him a reputation as something of a trickster deity—a player of dark and dangerous games. Whether you’re new to Dragon Age™ stories or you’ve experienced them all, using Solas’s namesake no doubt suggests a spectrum of endless possibilities on where things may go. But at the core of this, like every past game, is you. If you’re new to Dragon Age, you have no need to worry about not having met our antagonist just yet. He’ll properly introduce himself when the time is right. “We suspect you have questions and they’ll be answered in time. While the game won’t be releasing this year, we’re growing closer to that next adventure. Rest assured, Solas is placing his pieces on the board as we speak. That’s all we have for now, but we hope knowing the official title has sparked some intrigue, as we’ll be talking more about the game later this year!” the team added. Elsewhere, BioWare appears to be shaping up well for the next Mass Effect game too. One report confirmed the game is now in early development. Furthermore Project Director Michael Gamble verified hints to Shepard returning is not accurate for the next game. You can read the full story by heading here.
