A massiveSplatoon 3patch just dropped, and it has implications for multiplayer, as well as the Tricolor Battle system (which will impact future Splatfests). Let’s dig in, because there’s a lot to unpack. On a technical level, some bugs were fixed, including a Squid Roll exploit, as well as bugs like interactions with water, and general multiplayer connection problems. Matchmaking has been a contentious thing for some, and ideally this patch should smooth things over....

You’ll want to consult the notes When Valve first talked about the most recentTeam Fortress 2update, the focus was placed ontwo new community maps, “Process” and “Standin.” Looking over the extensive patch notes now, however —they keep going and going— there’s a lot going on here. Old maps have been revisited, items have been tweaked, and yes, there are now Summer Coolers and Keys to worry about. I’m no expert on the metagame by any means, but many of these changes (50% overheal for the Quick-Fix, I’m looking at you!...

I’ve started playingJeanne d’Arcon the PSP as an experiment. I grew up loving to play on Game Boy Color, Advance, and Nintendo DS, but I had never put my hands on PlayStation’s portable console. In 2025, I wanted to leave my Nintendo fan-boyism aside while also playing a tactical RPG, a genre I probably last played on the DS inFinal Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift. I normally avoid tactical RPGs because they tend to be long, slow, and repetitive....

The Colour and the Shape Treasure has announced that, following its recentNintendo Switch port, its classic arcade shmupIkarugais on its way to PS4.

Developer Treasure have now confirmed that the game is in development on PS4 via theirTwitter account, where they also noted that the game will see an official unveiling next week, with a release to follow “soon”....

Updates have been bumped to a five week cycle, from four Have you ever played anAssassin’s Creedgame and thought “this probably needed a little more time?” For once, Ubisoft agrees. Valhallahas been suffering from a number of bugs for a while now, which came to a headwhen an update was rolled out in March, and rolled back completelydue to huge glitches. It was a watershed moment, and one that made Ubisoft realize that they couldn’t just keep churning these out, with the publisher admitting: “recent title updates may not have met your expectations or been up to our standards....

Updated on June 2nd: Added two new classes The main form of progression inDead Spellsis the class you play as. You can either roll for your class and hope you get a good one, or you can actually save your currency and buy it for good. Whichever method you choose, it’s essential to know you’re going for one of the better classes in the game. To help you pick, we made this UltimateDead SpellsClass Tier List....

Itchy, tasty There is something uniquely terrible about disgusting food. The taste never seems to go away, no matter how much you wash your mouth out, and your body behaves, at least for a moment, as if it’s been poisoned. Anyone who’s accidentally taken a swig from a carton of expired milk will know the feeling. (Nope, never done that, not me…scruffy bastards, the lot of you.) If a horror game wants to shock the player, it can create that feeling on many levels, whether through jump-scares or disturbing stills....

Indie devs DrinkBox Studios are working hard on their latest,Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs Attack,shooting for Vita’s launch. You may remember the PSN title on PS3,Tales from Space: About a Blob, Mutant Blobs Attack.This follow-up will new game modes and new features that use the Vita’s controls. Touchscreen and rear touch will add to the sidescrolling platforming, and the game’s “Tilt-a-Blob” levels will use the gyroscope. When it’s done, of course....

Maybe get it on PS4 instead What is this? The PSP version ofFinal Fantasy Tactics? Square Enix’s lovely lookingIkenie to Yuki no Setsunais set to launch in Japan today, and people are already trying out the PS4 and Vita versions. Apparently the latter has a major problem though — really long load times. As you can see in this video below, load times for screen transitions can top out as long as 13 seconds, whereas the PS4 edition takes a few seconds....

I can’t believe I haven’t posted about this yet, but if you happened to have flown Virgin America recently then perhaps you noticed our very ownDestructoid Showhiding out in their “Best of the Web” category. We are indeed featured there, alongside four other Revision3 shows. If you plan on traveling Virgin soon, I recommend enjoying an episode of our program the same way I do – with a tall gin andtonicjuice, looking over at the person next to you and laughing loudly at your own jokes, waiting until they look over and eventually ask for your autograph....

InBaldur’s Gate 3, Withers is an NPC who will join your crew in the first act. While he isn’t a combatant, he does offer resurrection services. When you first meet him, you are given the option to attack him. What happens if you do? Nothing. Withers can’t be hurt, and that’s a canonical thing. you’re able to certainlytryto hurt him, but it won’t work. Even if you choose the attack command in dialogue, he’ll just shrug it off....

Witchfirehas come a long way sincethe day it was first shown off to the general public, though many of us might’ve missed that. Notably, the game made its way onto Steam only recently, and the developer already has a big content roadmap for us to dissect. Those who were particularly intrigued by Witchfire have probably already been playing it over on the Epic Games Store,where it made its exclusive debut. The game’s production pipeline has recently expanded to include Steam, too, and the full release is now finally on the horizon....
