With news that Kojima Productions’ Physint is now being developed in parternship wth Xbox instead of Sony, possibly the big question on everyone’s mind is: will Physint still appear on PlayStation platforms?

Even the game’s creator, Hideo Kojima, doesn’t have the answer for that currently, though he did say that he doesn’t have any bad feelings toward the company.

Kojima also talked about Physint’s game engine as well in a new interview.

Physint’s PlayStation Release Still Up in the Air

In an interview with IGN, which is the first time Kojima has talked about Physint after the shift from Sony to Microsoft, the game director was asked point-blank whether Physint will still come out on PlayStation, given some first-party Xbox games do sometimes release as multiplatform.

Kojima admitted he doesn’t know himself, stating, “I don’t know the answer to that – that would be a question for Xbox. But I don’t know for sure. In previous updates from Xbox, I thought that they have this kind of stance where they want to deliver to as many gamers as possible, no matter what the platform is. I think all of that will be announced at a later time. I’m not sure yet, and I can’t really say.”

This is understandable, given Xbox will be the one deciding whether they want Physint on competing platforms or not.

In the same interview, Kojima was asked whether they are changing game engines as well, given Physint was under development using the Decima engine, which is first-party technology by Sony via Guerrilla Games.

For now, Kojima can’t answer that, as the developers are still experimenting.

Kojima commented, “Well, I haven’t really decided yet. I’m still experimenting. After we decided to team up with Xbox, they said they will give us a lot of technological support. When I went to visit them during the Don Mattrick days, they had so many labs and everything, and they were experimenting on so many things, like state of the art, new, really new, cutting-edge technology. I was really surprised. I was thinking, “There are so many Doc Browns from Back to the Future here!” So I want to use all this new technology. Anything that I can use, I want to use, and I’m looking forward to teaming up with Xbox, but I really haven’t decided about the engine.”

Kojima Said Sony Didn’t Give a Reason Why They Wanted to Cancel Physint

Hideo Kojima also said that Sony didn’t give a reason why Sony wanted to cancel Physint, which contradicted reports from a week ago that mentioned Sony wanted to cancel the project due to missed deadlines and Death Stranding underperforming commercially.

When asked whether Sony clarified why they were canceling the game or gave a reason as to why, Kojima said Sony terminated the partnership via a Zoom call.

“So in June, SIE said they wanted to have a Zoom call. I was so busy at that time — I had just gone to New York for a Prada event and then to LA right after. But anyway, I came back and we had this Zoom call,” Kojima noted.

Kojima continued, “They said they can no longer fund development for Physint. I was shocked and I said, ‘What did you say?’ I couldn’t quite process what they had said. I wasn’t sure because I was in shock.”

When asked whether Sony later clarified why they canceled the project, Kojima said no reason was given at all.

“No, not at all. They haven’t contacted me ever since. But I’m not fighting with Sony. We’re not in a dispute. But what I want to say is that we’ve been together for 30 years and we have this relationship. So if this was the conclusion, I would’ve wanted to hear it a little earlier. But that meeting in June, they just gave us the final notice.

As I said, my mind went blank, so I didn’t really ask a lot of questions. It was more like, what should I do with my company? So that was what was on my mind at the time. I’ve always been a big Sony fan. I’ve been using a Walkman. All my cameras are Sony. So I have no bad feelings towards them,” Kojima shared.

A better explanation of what transpired there is available here, as the person who wrote the report gave context as well.

In related news, Bill Skarsgard has been officially cast as Physint’s main character alongside other actors.

Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse Hands-On Preview – This Rose Has Thorns

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is possibly one of the most influential 2D side-scrolling action games of all-time. It was so good that it even created its own genre (along with Metroid), “Metroidvania,” which spawned countless titles such as Hollow Knight, Dead Cells, Bloodstained, and more.

Konami aims to take back the throne, or at least be in the conversation again, with Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse.

MP1st was fortunate to try the game at Tokyo Game Show 2026, and so far things look promising.

Dracula’s Curse Is Cast Again

In development by Konami and Evil Empire (Dead Cells), Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse stars Rose Belmont, the daughter of vampire hunter Trevor Belmont and Sypha Belnades.

The 2D action-platformer is set in Paris, 1499. Rose is swept up in a dark tale that necessitates her need to clean the streets of Paris of monsters and to solve the mystery of why they’re there.

Rose will lay waste to enemies with a sword for starters, though you’ll gain access to the series’ iconic whip. However, instead of a weapon, it’ll serve as a traversal tool. She just won’t rely on her whip, as Evil Empire looks to shake things up by introducing the Arcana System, which traps defeated bosses in tarot cards that give Rose the ability to use their skills. Each tarot card skill can even be upgraded, offering more customization and combat depth, though, understandably, we weren’t able to do that in the timed-demo.

These skills range from spells to special moves that let Rose reach previously inaccessible areas.

During our 20-minute play time, we learned the basics, and if you’ve played a Castlevania game, you know what to expect. Rose will dispatch any enemy she sees on-screen, and right from the start, you’ll see areas you won’t be able to access until much later on.

Konami said there would be seven weapon categories, each having its own pros and cons. Unfortunately, we weren’t given a chance to try them ourselves. Rose also has Relics to help her in battle, and these are special items that given permanent or passive bonuses/abilities.

Instead of collecting hearts to recharge these skills, players can inflict damage to refill the meter. It’s a good dance of using your primary attack, then switching to Relics when the situation calls for it, and so on.

The short runtime gave a brief glimpse of what Rose can do, culminating in a boss fight. Upon beating this boss, Rose will be able to trap them in tarot cards, and in doing so, you’ll not only be able to use their skill, but also communicate with said boss.

Castlevania Is Ready to Seize Back Its Throne

Belmont’s Curse is said to feature a fresh take on the world of Castlevania, and it remains to be seen how fresh this could be. Thankfully, the combat seems tight, and it’s not lacking in the visuals department, either.

Complementing the tried-and-true Metroidvania gameplay is gorgeous 2D animated sprites and backgrounds. You won’t have time to marvel at the decor, as each corridor houses a vast assortment of ghouls and other creatures ready to chomp a piece of Rose.

Until we’ve experienced how Belmont’s Curse handles the Metroidvania formula with its skills and item unlocks, labyrinthine maps, it’s hard to say whether Konami can reclaim its throne from such worthy opponents.

That said, based on what we’ve played so far, Belmont’s Curse is on the right track. Thankfully, we don’t have to wait long, as Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse will be released on October 15 for the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch 2 and PC.

Kojima Addresses Physint’s Sony Partnership Cancelling Rumors, Though Doesn’t Deny Them Fully

Last week, the video game industry was rocked when legendary video game director Hideo Kojima announced that the in-development spiritual successor to Metal Gear, titled “Physint,” was shifting from Sony to Xbox. PlayStation had revealed it had terminated its partnership with Kojima and his studio for Physint, forcing them to seek a new partner. That partnership happened to be PlayStation’s long-time gaming rival, Xbox.

But with little information about the reasoning behind the cancellation, rumors quickly circulated, with one report suggesting it was because the studio hit high budgets, missed deadlines, and failed to meet sales expectations for its previous series, Death Stranding. In a rare instance, Kojima Productions issued a statement about the speculation, though it didn’t entirely deny the rumors.

Kojima Had the Cancellation News Broken Over a Zoom Call

Taking to X, this is what Kojima Productions had to say about the recent article published by Bloomberg:

“You may have seen a recent article that mentions KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS, speculating on the reasons for the change in publishing partners for PHYSINT.

Normally, we would not comment on unsubstantiated speculation on the internet, but these aspersions around our relationship with PlayStation, the commercial performance of the DEATH STRANDING franchise, and the broader production planning and investment for PHYSINT, have reached beyond the studio and have touched our fans, our creative partners, and colleagues we have worked alongside with for three decades.

None of the claims written came from any official or on-the-record source and as such we encourage you to take them with a dose of scepticism.

Make no mistake, this was a serious situation for the studio with a range of potentially significant implications. While we recognise that the article may have caused alarm, we want to reassure you all, for the record: that the studio is in a healthy, profitable state, development for PHYSINT continues to move forward with XBOX, and our relationship with PlayStation remains strong.

Thank you for your continued support, KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS”

While it may seem like they are claiming the rumors are false, they aren’t denying anything; they’re leaning toward telling fans to treat the rumor with skepticism, since it was off the record and didn’t come from an official source. In reality, all rumors are off the record, and the statement doesn’t directly address anything about budgets or deadlines.

What’s more, Kojima did an interview with IGN where, while the official statement on X says the studio is in a healthy state, it seems that without this project being picked up, the studio would have been in a position where it wouldn’t have been healthy.

“We are an independent company, so no funding is behind us as a corporation. We sign contracts according to projects, and that’s how we survive one by one as an indie. So I need to find a new project before the previous project ends, and that’s how we stay alive. That’s our background situation.

So in June, SIE said they wanted to have a Zoom call. I was so busy at that time — I had just gone to New York for a Prada event and then to LA right after. But anyway, I came back and we had this Zoom call.

They said they can no longer fund development for Physint. I was shocked and I said, “What did you say?” I couldn’t quite process what they had said. I wasn’t sure because I was in shock.

Anyway, I know there’s a lot of news in the game industry that many studios are closing down, many titles are canceled, and I understand the situation in the industry as a whole. But I thought Physint was okay. That Physint was safe. So I was surprised. But not just surprised. We didn’t understand the reason. I didn’t have any anger or sadness; my first thought was, “What am I going to do with my studio?” Because we signed contracts for projects. Of course I had OD, but I only have two projects in my studio: OD and Physint. And I hire according to how many projects we have, and we have two. If we lose one contract, I thought I might have to cut all the people working on Physint, right? Or our studio could end up collapsing because we’ll run out of cashflow.“

It’s contradictory in ways.

In response, Jason Schreier of Bloomberg took to ResetEra to address the statement, also noting that nothing is actually denied in the statement.

“There’s no denial here so nothing I feel any particular need to respond to, but one thing I’ll add (and I believe I said this in my video) is that Sony and Kojima Productions were in negotiations over the future of the game for a while before it was canceled. Kojima Productions may be unhappy about how SIE handled it, but the news didn’t come out of nowhere.”

It seems like a lot of PR play here, but honestly, does this matter? The project is saved, and for us fans, that’s what really matters. Whether it becomes a financial hit for Xbox is something we’ll have to wait and see, but maybe it’s time to put this drama behind us and hope for the best.

I don’t know; I’m excited to see how this project turns out.

Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen Will Be Capcom’s First Game to Use Frame Generation on Nintendo Switch 2

Having trouble viewing the text? You can always read the original article here: Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen Will Be Capcom’s First Game to Use Frame Generation on Nintendo Switch 2

Dragon’s Dogma 2 was released in 2024, and just like the first Dragon’s Dogma, Capcom is bringing out a Dark Arisen version with improvements to the original game.

However, what many people may not have expected is that Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen will use frame generation technology on Nintendo Switch 2.

This makes it the first Capcom game to use the technology on the console, allowing players to “play with smooth visuals equivalent to 60 FPS.”

Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen Uses Frame Generation to Reach a 60 FPS-Like Experience on Switch 2

Naoto Oyama spoke about this in detail in Famitsu (via Nintendo Everything). “First, in the Switch 2 version of Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen, the base frame rate is targeted at 30 FPS in both handheld and TV modes,” the Japanese producer said. “If you turn on frame generation in this state, a function that interpolates frames will be activated, allowing you to play with smooth visuals equivalent to 60 FPS.”

He added, “However, since this function interpolates between frames, there are times when interpolation is difficult in certain situations, and we have confirmed cases where a slight ghosting effect remains. Nevertheless, we judged that the overall gameplay experience would not be significantly impaired, so we made it possible for those who prioritize frame rate to turn it on.”

That means that although frame generation is enabled by default in the Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen demo, in the full game it can be turned on or off, whichever you prefer.

Oyama also said that 60 FPS on PC and Switch 2 are similar. “It’s pretty close. When you output 60 FPS natively, each frame is drawn individually and displayed as is. Frame generation is a function that calculates and interpolates “what would happen if there was a frame here” between frames. The idea is that the whole thing, including this interpolation, is at 60 FPS,” the producer made clear.

Frame generation “is a technology that has been used quite commonly in PC games, but this is the first time that Capcom” has used frame generation on Nintendo Switch 2, and with a game like Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen.

Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen is scheduled to release on October 9, 2026.

Stranger Than Heaven Hands-On Preview – Fists of Fury

RGG Studio is known primarily for churning out games in the Yakuza franchise at a blistering pace. Unfortunately, if you aren’t familiar with the franchise, it might be a bit daunting to jump into the Yakuza pool given there’s so much lore that might fly over your head.

That’s where Stranger Than Heaven comes in. While not outright marketed as a Like a Dragon (formerly Yakuza in the West) game, it does act like a prequel of sorts, though beyond focusing on the formation of the Tojo clan, the extent of it being connected to the previous series is not known. But considering the new name, new cast of characters, and being set in an entirely different era, players should be able to jump in without knowing anything about the prior series.

That’s not the only thing changing in Stranger Than Heaven, as the combat has also been given an overhaul. We’re far off from the game’s release date in January 2027, but based on what we’ve played so far, the upcoming action game is already one of the big titles to keep an eye out for next year.

This Open-World Game Looks Heavenly

At Tokyo Game Show, MP1st was given a chance to try the game out for about 25 minutes. In the demo, RGG Studio prepared three fight scenarios that ranged from beginner to advanced, giving us a taste of the game’s combat.

First thing off the bat, the game looks stunning. I asked the PR rep whether it was running on a PS5 or if I was playing on a PC and using a DualSense, and I received confirmation that yes, it was on a PS5.

Let me just say that the trailers do not do the game justice. Even in an unfinished state, the game’s world looked gorgeous. Not only were the characters animated well, but the fidelity of each was a sight to see. Walking through the streets, you can see papers being blown away by the wind, dust particles, smoke and all that.

A small note, we couldn’t really explore the open world much in this demo, as going off specific sections would stop us via an invisible wall and trigger an in-game message saying this part will be available in the full version of the game.

The shops that you can enter are filled with residents going about their daily lives, and the vendors sell anything from liquor to ramen, which you can consume using your in-game money. These will trigger temporary buffs to your health or stamina, though they will be timed and usually last just for 30 seconds or so.

You can also interact with the stalls and vendors, and you can not only buy stuff from them, but you can even mess up their shops. I wasn’t able to tell if this will have any long-term effects, but it is a nice touch to be able to just wreak havoc if you wanted to.

Yes, I’m aware we could do this in Yakuza/Like a Dragon, but it does seem like things have been scaled up even more.

Violence Is Key

The demo primarily focused on combat, as it’s evident RGG Studio wants to show this off moreso than exploration or the game’s narrative. One main difference from the Yakuza games is that in Stranger Than Heaven, the controls have been changed drastically. This time around, the left and right triggers act as your left and right hands/arms, respectively. This means pressing the right trigger will result in a right-handed punch/attack, and the left trigger, left-handed attacks. In contrast, these were reserved for guarding, heat action, and stances in prior Yakuza/Like A Dragon game’s.

The left and right buttons are heavy attacks, which usually take a lot longer to pull off, be it barehanded or with weapons equipped.

Blocking is done by pressing circle, but you can’t just spam your blocks, as you’ll need to also press left or right trigger depending on which direction the enemy attacks. It’s easier said than done when you have 3-5 guys trying to kick your brains out.

So far, the combat feels visceral and very satisfying, be it using your fists and feet, or with weapons. Each punch felt impactful, and getting enemies dizzied enough meant you could take them down by pressing the right and left triggers together (you’ll know you can do it since the game will show an indicator which buttons to press). If you don’t do it fast enough, the enemy will recover. But if you do manage to take them down, you’ll then be able to mount and pummel them to a pulp.

Things are taken up a notch with weapons. The game’s protagonist, Makoto Daito, is able to wield hammers, crowbars, samurai swords, and more to aid him in taking out enemies. Each weapon has a different attack animation and a different finisher that felt super satisfying to pull off.

Using your samurai sword to stab an enemy in the stomach when they’re down felt very satisfying. The game doesn’t shy away from violence, that’s for sure.

Each phase of the demo had different enemies, with the first phase primarily there to show the player the ropes, while the second phase teaches you to deal with multiple enemies at once. The third phase sees the player go one-on-one with a samurai-wielding villain who was a nasty piece of work to take out.

Pray to the Heavens!

As someone who’s not a that massive of a fan of the Yakuza games, Stranger Than Heaven turned things around for me, personally. After the three phases, I wanted to experience more. More combat, check out more shops, and granted it wasn’t possible, see more of the open world.

Not only that, but the title went from being “another Yakuza game” to now sitting atop my most anticipated game of 2027.

SEGA and RGG Studio seem to have something special with Stranger Than Heaven, and I pray that the demo’s magic carries over to the final version when it releases on January 15, 2027 for the PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.

Battlefield 6 Known Issues Pile Up After Latest Update; DICE Acknowledges Missing Weapon Attachments Bug and More

Last week, DICE rolled out a significant update to Battlefield 6 that added new cosmetics, a new in-game event and a long list of improvements that, in theory, should have made the game a whole lot better.

Unfortunately, that update also brought with it, a significant number of bugs as well. It was so bad that the developers needed to release a hotfix the next day to help the game’s performance.

However, that patch didn’t exactly fix the multiple issues the patch brought to the game, and mind, these aren’t your typical bugs that made a gun look big or anything, but rather, these actually impacted gameplay.

Battlefield 6 Known Issues as of September 19 Include Delayed Notifications In-Game, Missing Attachments

On Discord, the official Battlefield channel relayed the list of known issues they’re investigating for multiplayer and REDSEC.

Proximity Chat Status: Proximity Chat will remain disabled throughout the weekend as we continue to investigate the issues related to the feature. We will provide an update once we re-enable it.
Matchmaking in REDSEC: From our data, as well as comments from the community, matchmaking has stabilized since the release of 1.4.3.1, and we are continuing to monitor it as one of our highest priorities over the course of the weekend.
Missing Weapon Attachments: We have investigated the issue of missing attachments. We are seeing that this issue is isolated to the Firing Range and does not affect live multiplayer or REDSEC matches. We will continue to investigate and work on a resolution.
Vehicle Spawn Protection: We’ve seen some confusion recently regarding “random” out-of-bounds messages triggering in areas of the map that previously were safe to explore. To clarify, this is an intentional design feature to prevent players from blocking or camping active vehicle spawns. If you find yourself staring at an OOB warning in a seemingly normal spot, it’s because you are in a vehicle spawn zone. The warning is designed to keep vehicle deployment predictable and fair for both teams. We appreciate you calling this out, and we are discussing how we can more clearly highlight this functionality in the future.
Incorrect HUD Damage Tracking in REDSEC: We are investigating an issue where weapon damage numbers exceeding 100 are not displaying accurately in the player HUD. This is primarily occurring within REDSEC matches. Please note that actual damage dealt is calculated correctly on the backend as your weapons are dealing their full intended damage. Only the visual indicator on your screen is displaying incorrectly. We are actively working on a fix to restore accurate HUD damage readouts and will share updates as soon as they are confirmed.
Missing Hit Indicators on Armor in REDSEC: We are investigating an issue where players wearing armor do not receive incoming damage and directional indicators when shot. Our team is actively working on a fix to restore these hit indicators and we will share when we have a resolution.
Delay in HUD notifications: We have deployed a server-side backend change to resolve an issue which caused delays in the in-game UI. The notifications should now be instant again.
Zeroing on Sniper Rifles: We have found the underlying issue which causes the Zeroing indicator to be missing from Sniper Rifles. This fix will require a client update, and we’ll let you know when we are able to deploy a patch for this.
Interdictor in Gauntlet: We are aware of reports from players that the Interdictor can do an unintended amount of damage in Gauntlet. We are looking to adjust the damage to bring it back in line with the intended range we introduced in 1.4.3.0.

No word on when these issues will be fixed, or if these will all be sorted out by one game update, but we’re hoping it will be. Chances are, we’ll hear more about it next week, and once we know more, we’ll let our readers know.

In other Battlefield 6 news, the game is headed to Vegas for Season 5! And we should be hearing more about the new maps soon.

Stranger Than Heaven Physically Pulls Out a Paper Map Whenever You Open the Map; Sword Clash Against Enemies Confirmed

Taha — Sat, 19 Sep 2026 14:07:26 +0000

Having trouble viewing the text? You can always read the original article here: Stranger Than Heaven Physically Pulls Out a Paper Map Whenever You Open the Map; Sword Clash Against Enemies Confirmed

As the release of RGG Studio’s upcoming Stranger Than Heaven approaches, new details about the game have started to appear, giving us a closer look at its world, map system, and combat.

The latest information comes from Tokyo Game Show 2026, where the demo of Stranger Than Heaven has revealed more about how the game plays and some of the fresh details RGG Studio has added to its world.

One of these details is how the map works.

Stranger Than Heaven Has Physical Maps That Change Across Eras, While Combat Lets You Wreck Shops

Whenever players open the map menu, protagonist Makoto Daito physically pulls out a paper map and looks at it. Instead of simply opening a normal game menu, the map is an actual item that Daito carries and uses.

It’s also worth noting that the maps will be roughly the same scale as those in the Yakuza / Like a Dragon series. The maps will also change as the story moves through different periods.

If you didn’t know, Stranger Than Heaven follows Makoto Daito, voiced by Yu Shirota, across a 50-year journey after he stows away on a ship traveling from San Francisco to Japan in 1915. Players will explore five different eras and cities during the story, including Kokura in 1915, Kure in 1929, and Osaka in 1943. As the years and locations change, Daito’s physical maps will change with them.

Fresh details have also appeared about the combat in the Stranger Than Heaven demo shown at TGS 2026.

RGG Studio has made changes to enemy health and the pace of combat to make fights faster compared with previous demos. You can also destroy pretty much everything around you. Even a cheap eatery can be completely wrecked, as players can break tables, shatter chairs, and tear apart the inside of shops.

Another combat detail is that you can clash swords with enemies in Stranger Than Heaven. If you time the clash perfectly, you can stop an enemy’s attack completely, giving you a chance to strike back.

YOU CAN SWORD CLASH IN STRANGER THAN HEAVEN https://t.co/NXwQxB7mcb pic.twitter.com/a6a6w3s0kh

We also remind you that more details about the game will be revealed soon here, as we have hands-on impressions of the game hitting the site soon, so keep checking MP1st.

Stranger Than Heaven is scheduled to launch on January 15, 2027, for Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC.

Marvel’s Wolverine Update 1.001.005 Adjusts Scent Trails

Possibly one of the biggest digs at Marvel’s Wolverine when reviews were released was how the game shoved scent trails (also known as fart gas) down players’ throats to show them where to go, in a game that, by and large, is a linear adventure.

Today, Insomniac Games has rolled out the first adjustment for it with Marvel’s Wolverine update 1.001.005. This title update also resolves other things but this is the primary change players can expect from the download.

For the complete changelog, read on.

Marvel’s Wolverine Fart Gas Adjusted in New September 18 Update

Per Insomniac, “This hotfix addresses some common crashes experienced by a small percentage of players since launch. ”

The studio also states, “Additionally, this hotfix adjusts the presentation of the Scent Trails and Audio Sense indicators, including reduced opacity to make these visuals less intense.”

The dev team says they are continuing to “evaluate ways to further improve Senses in the game, including exploring toggleable options for a future update.”

Aside from that, there are also other bugs that will need to be squashed, such as a UV bug that Insomniac’s Director of Community & Marketing James Stevenson has confirmed will be fixed via a patch.

To date, Marvel’s Wolverine is now the lowest-rated AAA single-player game from a PlayStation first-party studio since Days Gone in 2019 by Bend Studio. However, gamer sentiment paints a different picture, as it is seeing high scores from user reviews on the PlayStation Network and on review aggregator sites.

Bruce Straley, former Naughty Dog member and director of The Last of Us, has faced criticism after sharing his views on AAA games and God of War Laufey.

Straley, who is now focused on indie development with Coven of the Chicken Foot as his new project, criticized the lack of new ideas and risks in big-budget games.

His comments about God of War Laufey later led him to apologize to the game’s team.

Bruce Straley Says God of War Laufey Comments Were Taken Out of Context as He Apologizes to Team

In an interview with Edge, Straley talked about how few risks AAA games take, if they take any at all, using the new God of War as an example.

First, he praised its technical work, saying, “Every pixel is mindblowing. The amount of work and skill that’s gone into every single frame… I’ve made those kinds of games, and I’m still blown away.”

He also said, “I think the verbs and experiences we’re delivering in the triple-A space are—,” he stopped and laughed, “I wanna say boring.” He included all modern, big-budget games in this category.

His comments quickly spread and led to a lot of criticism. Because of this, he apologized on his X (formerly Twitter) account. He said, “I want to apologize to the Laufey team for dragging you all into this uninvited & unnecessary negative attention. I was trying to illustrate an industry concern & my mistake of naming your game is being used out of context & for clickbait. You don’t need this. I’m sorry. ”

In another tweet, he called for the creation of new experiences, as Half-Life 2, Gears of War, BioShock, Uncharted 2 and, of course, The Last of Us did in their time.

He concluded by saying that “there’s a lack of good leadership, clear direction & conviction from the ppl at the top, in charge of the money. (Money = stability) I believe if they understand their brand, they could have honest, inspiring conversations w creators to steer our medium to innovate.”

In short, Straley argued that modern AAA games lack innovative gameplay because developers are afraid of taking risks. Do you agree with his view, or do you think AAA games can still offer new experiences to players?

Nonetheless, speaking of God of War Laufey, we remind you that the game is scheduled to launch in February next year.

Control Resonant Review – Sensing a Pattern

James Lara — Fri, 18 Sep 2026 12:59:51 +0000

Having trouble viewing the text? You can always read the original article here: Control Resonant Review – Sensing a Pattern

While Control was a third-person action game that was released in 2019, we haven’t seen a follow-up to it, though we knew one is in development.

That changes with Control Resonant, though it’s one that deviates heavily from the first game in the series. Resonant is an open-ended action-RPG that relies heavily on grinding, skill-building, which is something players didn’t need to trouble themselves with in the first game.

Does it work? For the most part, Resonant does stay in control.

Breaking Free From the Oldest House

If you’d told me a few years ago that the sequel to Control would be an action-adventure RPG in the vein of Devil May Cry or God of War, I probably would have laughed and called you crazy. A sequel that switches into an entirely different genre? It sounds like a disaster waiting to happen, and in most cases, fans would immediately reject the idea. But as we’ve seen over the last decade, Remedy, the famed studio behind the Max Payne franchise, has built a track record with titles unafraid to take massive, creative risks, including Alan Wake, Quantum Break, and Control.

Then came Alan Wake 2, arguably Remedy’s best work so far, and proof that sometimes change is good. But this wasn’t just a matter of changing settings and introducing new characters. No, this was Remedy taking things up a notch, embracing a new vision, not just for the franchise, but for the studio as a whole. Pivoting a beloved cult classic from a linear, run-and-gun psychological thriller into a suffocating survival horror. In hindsight, the change made a whole lot of sense, but it was interesting to see nonetheless, and it was a genre shift that fully allowed Remedy to embrace a new medium of storytelling. We saw a great deal of it in the original Control, but Alan Wake 2 really took things up to a whole other level- well, more like a dimension,

So coming off Alan Wake 2, Control Resonant has a lot to live up to. Understandable, since this is not only the next game in the ever-growing Remedy universe, but also a sequel to one of the most mind-bending games Remedy has ever made: Control. All I can really say is, things get weird, like, really weird, and if you’ve been a fan of Remedy’s last few games, then you know being weird is actually a very good thing.

Control Resonant’s story kicks off sometime after the events of the original game. Tasked with containing the Hiss — a paranormal anomaly that threatens humanity’s very existence— Jesse Faden, Director of the Federal Bureau of Control (FBC), suddenly goes missing. As expected, chaos ensues, and soon the Hiss escapes its new prison, The Oldest House, and runs rampant across Manhattan. But they aren’t the only threat to make it out, as a new dimensional being has also found its way out and begins waging war for control of the city. Where the Hiss seeks to possess anyone and anything, this new threat wants to patternize, which is essentially to duplicate, anything it comes in contact with, thus creating a warped version of Manhattan that feels like it’s right out of Christopher Nolan’s movie, Inception.

Coincidentally, Jesse Faden’s brother, Dylan Faden, who’s been under the Hiss’s control and stuck in a coma since the ending of the first game, wakes up to find this twisted, patterned version of Manhattan.

It’s a lot to take in, and Remedy includes a recap of the first game for those who need a refresher (new players, go play Control first). But for those who do remember, I’m sure you have lots of questions, like what happened to Jesse or how Dylan is now a “good guy.” Well, I’m not here to spoil any of that, but rest easy knowing Resonant answers plenty of burning questions while also introducing new ones to theorize about until the next game.

From a narrative standpoint, Resonant is very similar to the way Control told its story. It’s heavy on narrative, but not quite told in a straightforward, hand-holding way. There are plenty of cutscenes and set pieces, but most of the story comes through gameplay, finding case notes, taking on side quests, and talking with NPCs across Manhattan. Fans of the first game will no doubt love this approach, though those coming out of Alan Wake 2 will probably notice the shift in pacing right away. Control wasn’t much for exposition dumping either, but Alan Wake 2 took a far more cinematic approach that forced you to slow down, piece together clues on a case board, and soak in every drop of psychological dread. Of course, being a survival-horror game drove that, and Remedy takes that kind of genre approach with Resonant, with its foot firmly on the gas.

It’s not a complaint; it’s meant to set expectations for those coming from Alan Wake 2.

One thing that has stayed true in Resonant is Remedy’s unwavering approach to unapologetic, full-throttle weirdness. Seeing what has become of Manhattan feels like a surreal fever dream where every rule of basic logic and architectural sanity has been tossed out the window. But this is a Remedy game, so naturally, someone notices it lying on the curb, asks, ‘Hey, who threw this here?’, and chucks it straight back at you at terminal velocity. There’s a lot of madness to explore, with traversal abilities that will literally have you flying and running on walls.

Control was already the closest thing we saw to an SCP Foundation game, and I’m glad to see Remedy further leaning into that idea, not only with the story, but in the world too. It’s a high-level containment breach that has spilled into every corner of this city, and Remedy gets weird, very weird, with it at every chance they get. Now there are mundane activities, naturally; all games have them. But when you come across something that’s done really well, and trust me, there’s plenty of unique quests to take, it hits with the exact kind of brilliant absurdity that has become Remedy’s defining signature. Plenty of secrets and stories await in the world of Resonant, and I enjoyed every minute of exploration and solving FBC cases in my 26-hour playthrough.

Remedy has been pretty locked in on telling a story in the last few games, so I wasn’t worried about that. I was, however, worried about the combat itself, and I’m a bit mixed on it for a few reasons.

I Ate the Mold, and I Liked It

Perhaps the biggest change with Resonant is the combat. Now, I wasn’t overly fond of how the first Control played, as I always felt like it wanted to play more like a fast-paced action game rather than a shooter, but was trapped in a shooting-gallery loop. It’s not to say it was bad, because there is a lot to it when you really start to explore all it has to offer, but restricting Jesse mainly to her service weapon (gun) and a handful of cooldown abilities always felt like it was coming up short of its full potential for me.

It wanted to be a superhero game without fully committing to giving you the cape.

Again, I didn’t dislike Control’s combat; I’m just saying it could have been much more, and if there’s proof of that, well, Control Resonant is it.

With Control Resonant, Remedy moves past the ranged service weapon to a closer, more personal weapon of power, the Aberrant. A shapeshifting weapon that grows stronger when you defeat Resonants (bosses). It has many forms and abilities, though the game makes you pick and choose rather than giving you access to it all at once. But the Aberrant isn’t the only weapon that Dylan has at his disposal, and his Hiss abilities also come into play, granting him telekinesis, such as a dash, double jump, gliding, and even a faster run. He also gets traversal abilities, such as shifting between walls (more on this later) and an ability known as Reach that, in some ways, acts as a grapple to specific spots. You can use Shift and Reach together, which makes traversal and combat feel trippy.

The combat itself plays very much like a slowed-down Devil May Cry. I would have loved to see it speed up as you progress, since it feels slower than it should be. Overall, I really dig Resonant’s combat, as it’s fun and stylish, turning every skirmish into a chaotic, physics-defying spectacle.

To me, this feels like the combat Remedy wanted in the original Control. So why do I feel so mixed about it? Well, there are a few things.

I’ll start with the smaller one: the Shift ability. Being able to shift your plane, walking and running on walls, sounds fun, and it is, as well as looking pretty cool. The problem is that it feels far too restrictive, as you can only use it in certain zones. I don’t think there’s a lore reason for it; it’s just how the game is built. It would definitely help cut map traversal in half, which can become a chore if you aren’t using fast travel points. It’s not a big deal, but I would love to see the ability expanded much more than it currently is. Later in the game, it gets used a lot, which I quite enjoyed.

But the main reason I’m mixed about the combat has more to do with its progression and how the game handles the RPG part. Enemies are complete sponges, and they take forever to take down. I can understand a boss, and on rare occasions, if it’s meant to be a special elite enemy, but the elite enemies are basically standard spawns. This makes combat drag on longer than it should and, in many ways, pads the intended experience with wasted hours. I played through Resonant the way Remedy intended, and I honestly think they need to tweak and balance the experience more.

It’s not a hard game (no difficulty options) at all; it’s just easy to die because so many enemies take forever to defeat. So you’re constantly going from one long skirmish to another. I did end up starting a fresh save (not a New Game Plus run) after beating the game the first time around, though this time I decided to tweak the damage multiplier in the assist mode options. Remedy doesn’t recommend using these for your first run, and I agree, since they include a handful of options that essentially turn god mode on, but tweaking the damage multiplier lets you adjust it enough to make enemies less spongy. I found I had more fun with encounters using some of the tuned settings, and I honestly think Remedy should make these encounters less grindy.

Don’t take that as me saying to make it easier. Remedy wanted to make an RPG here. I get that, but I think combat flows better when it doesn’t feel like every encounter will last hours (exaggerating). At the very least, the options are there to tweak it, but I would have preferred the base experience to be better balanced. I think the combat is great, and the core mechanics are some of the most satisfying Remedy has ever put together, but the encounter pacing often works against that brilliance. What’s the point of making you a superhero when almost every enemy is just as strong as you, if not stronger, at every encounter? There’s a balance to be made here, but at least there are options to do that, and even if there weren’t, this is something that can be addressed if it’s an issue for the majority. It’s just how I feel about it, so who knows; maybe most care, and if that’s the case, then yeah, you’ve got a pretty kick-ass combat system waiting for you. I know when it doesn’t feel bogged down by enemy sponges, it feels absolutely fantastic. Take that as you will.

Northlight Engine Continues to Impress

The tech wizards at Remedy keep pushing their in-house engine, Northlight, to the limit, and what they’ve managed to achieve with Resonant is very impressive. Mind you, graphically speaking, Alan Wake 2 is probably still their “best-looking” game, but you could argue that’s because of its smaller scale and more “linear” structure. Smaller environments and a much closer perspective- yeah, Remedy is going to be putting more attention on details there than on something much bigger in scale.

But even so, Resonant impresses visually as a semi-open world, or, as Remedy describes it, open-ended. It features large, connected zones you can freely roam between once unlocked, but it’s not an open world or a sandbox game. That’s beside the point; the environments in Resonant are massive. It’s Manhattan, after all, so scale matters, but with everything going on in the story, that scale is amplified, making an already large borough even larger.

I mentioned before that this interpretation of Manhattan looks like something out of Inception, with buildings being mirrored and folded overhead at impossible angles. It creates a jaw-dropping visual spectacle where the sky is just another avenue of traffic, with skyscrapers looking down at you. It’s stunning, but I think what’s more impressive is how densely populated it is. Not by human NPCs, but rather by the enemies as well as small flying objects that even react to what’s going on.

I’m quite impressed by what Remedy has achieved with the engine, with even full path tracing support available to make the visuals even more beautiful. But what impresses me even more is how smoothly the game runs. We’ve tested a few builds, from a 3070 up to a 5080, and as with any PC game, you should be fine-tuning the settings for an optimized experience, meaning don’t just crank everything to max and expect it to just work. Even so, on medium, high, and ultra; 1080p, 1440p, and 4K; and targeting 60 FPS, the game never really had any hitches on our system, aside from a few rare instances.

It’s hard to talk about some of the game’s technical aspects without dipping into spoilers too, but the particle effects and the amount of dimension warping in this game. I’m just astonished that A, it runs so damn flawlessly, and B, the folks at Remedy somehow manage to animate some of these things. It’s ridiculous, and I can’t imagine the hours the developers put in to make some of the stuff in this game work the way it does. That, and the fact that the game ran flawlessly from start to end for me.

For PlayStation 5 owners (I’m playing with the PS5 Pro), there are quality (30 FPS), performance (60 FPS), and balanced (40 FPS with 120Hz enabled) modes available. Quality mode definitely looks good, but I don’t think it’s worth the performance cost for the type of game it is. Balance mode is the sweet spot for those wanting a mix of good visuals and performance, but even then performance mode looks stunning. So I’d probably recommend sticking with that mode.

Steam Deck players, it does run, but it’s far from smooth. With handheld preset, which is everything cranked down to their lowest settings, the FPS does struggle to hold something steady. Even setting the resolution to the lowest, where it looks like a mess of pixels, the FPS does tend drop once enemies show up. Fingers crossed Remedy continues to optimize the experience, as I’m sure many Steam Deck players would love to play this on the go. That, and it opens it up to the possibility of a Switch 2 port if it could run smoothly on the weaker hardware.

A Pattern I’d Gladly Like to See Continue

I had my worries after seeing that the follow-up to Control was essentially an entirely different game. A new genre, a new protagonist, and basically an entirely new story. Not many IPs get to pull that off, and in fact, would essentially be the knock-on-death door. But Remedy is a studio that isn’t afraid to answer that door, kick it wide open, and invite whatever multidimensional nightmare is waiting on the other side directly into the living room. That’s why so many love them: they refuse to stay inside the creative lines, which often leads to some of the most memorable, bold experiences in modern gaming—and Control Resonant is no exception.

It’s not without its faults, addressable ones, mind you, but all in all, Control Resonant is yet another must-play recommendation for a Remedy-developed game, a pattern I hope to see continue with future releases.

Pros

Incredible world and narrative that gets all kind of weird.
Boss fights are amazing in this one.
The music is great.
Fun, trippy traversal combining the Shift and Reach abilities.
Incredible Northlight engine showcase with stellar physics, path tracing, and flawless performance across PC and PS5 Pro.

Verdict

8.5/10

Control Resonant as a sequel shouldn't work; who'd have thought a follow-up to a third-person action game should be an action-RPG? But yet, here we are, and it does, which shows how much talent Remedy has in designing fun games. This is another game that should be on your radar and builds upon the universe Remedy has created.

Cons

Spongy enemy health pools drag out encounters and hurt combat pacing.
The Shift wall-running ability is disappointingly restricted to specific structures.

Armored Core 6 Update 1.10/1.010 Rolled Out on September 18

Aside from Elden Ring Nightreign, FromSoftware has also rolled out a game update for Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon today. September 18.

Now, before anyone gets excited, we haven’t seen a tangible update for the game since last year, and even then, there wasn’t any new content pushed out, so temper those expectations when you download Armored Core 6 update 1.10/1.010.

Armored Core 6 Receives a New Update After a Year as Version 1.10/1.010

Same as with Nightreign, today’s patch for Armored Core 6 is just for PlayStation platforms (PS4, PS5). As to what it does, FromSoftware shared: “The #ARMOREDCORE PlayStation servers will undergo maintenance on Sept. 18, to deploy a hotfix to improve security & network stability. No additional content is included.”

That’s about it. Given the time that has passed, we’re not expecting any new content for the mech game, though we’d love to be proven wrong.

Given how Armored Core 6’s sales surpassed parent company Kadokawa’s expectations, we should see another entry at some point in the future — at least logical sense points to it.

If FromSoftware releases another patch, we’ll be sure to let our readers know.

Having trouble viewing the text? You can always read the original article here: Elden Ring Nightreign Update 1.23/1.003.004 Released for PlayStation on September 18

FromSoftware hasn’t released a game update for Elden Ring Nightreign for months, but that changes today, September 18.

However, before anyone gets too excited, this is a minor patch that doesn’t bring any new gameplay content. The patch is out on the PS4 and PS5, and shows up as Elden Ring Nightreign update 1.23/1.003.004, respectively.

Elden Ring Nightreign Receives Update on September 18

Per FromSoftware, today’s patch does the following: “The #ELDENRING #NIGHTREIGN PlayStation servers will undergo maintenance on Sept. 18 to deploy a hotfix to improve security & network stability.
No additional content is included.”

As you can see, it’s more for stability than anything else.

Will we see more Elden Right Nightreign content or updates? It sure doesn’t seem like it given FromSoftware has been quiet on that front for months now.

Interestingly enough, the OG Elden Ring received an update for the Tarnished Edition content, and even a hotfix.

Speaking of PlayStation, the Tokyo Game Show sale is still ongoing on the PSN Store, and you can check our list to see if there’s anything there worth buying.

If FromSoftware announces anything new for Nightreign, we’ll be sure to let our readers know.

The Blood of Dawnwalker New Game Plus Addition Confirmed

Alex Co — Thu, 17 Sep 2026 21:02:21 +0000

Having trouble viewing the text? You can always read the original article here: The Blood of Dawnwalker New Game Plus Addition Confirmed

While The Blood of Dawnwalker was just released earlier this month, developer Rebel Wolves has been busy pumping out fixes for some of the game’s nagging issues.

Thankfully, that’s not all the studio is cooking up, as the promised post-launch support for the game is seemingly cooking as well.

Chief among the new additions will be New Game Plus, which is something the community has been asking for.

The Blood of Dawnwalker New Game+ Is Confirmed to Be on the Way

In a stream for the action-RPG, Konrad Tomaszkiewicz, game director, confirmed that New Game Plus will be rolled out for the game, stating, “Well, we’re doing our best to be, you know, a friendly studio and just make cool stuff for cool people. That’s about it. And then there’s this New Game Plus. That’s how it’ll be.”

Mind, this isn’t really surprising given the game’s structure, but it is good to hear confirmation for it. No word yet on when we’ll actually receive it, but chances are, it’ll be part of one of the game’s major updates, which we haven’t seen any of just yet outside of hotfixes.

New Game Plus is something the community has been asking for, as given the title’s 30-day mechanic, there is a chance a lot of players didn’t manage to complete everything their is to experience, and still have enough time to save Coen’s family.

In related news, a sequel is already underway with Rebel Wolves now hiring for it.

If you’ve yet to try The Blood of Dawnwalker, you might want to change that, as our review was quite glowing, as we state, “In The Blood of Dawnwalker, Rebel Wolves gambled on a new IP and didn’t hold back in their ambition. Thankfully, it has paid off in spades, and from the looks of it, this is the start of a new RPG franchise.”

Check out some of the improvements the studio plans to push out for the game soon:

After clearing the terraced rice fields in front of the Kyokaku area in the middle of the game, we are considering allowing you to choose whether to proceed without conquering the three areas at once—the pilgrimage area, the Matsukawa Colony area, and the Fuji Frontline area—or continue as before. This makes it a choice when you want to focus on the story and reach the capital faster, or if you want to progress faster during replays. Additionally, for traditional areas, we plan to make adjustments to ensure you enjoy the game even more than before, including revamped attack patterns for bosses of the same type. We will announce the details as soon as they are finalized.
Revamped attack patterns for same-type bosses (Special Variant Nushi and Shidou)
Added modes with higher difficulty than HARD
Added more challenging modes in NEW GAME+
Automatic acquisition of drop items from enemies
Adjusting the length of lines and cuts during the event
Adjustment of submersion detection
Adjustment of transparent entry prohibition determinations within the area

Once another patch is released by Game Freak, expect it here on MP1st.

For the complete patch notes that list down everything that got fixed, read on.

Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 Patch 2 Heaps of Improvements for Every Part of the Game

Some of the key highlights of today’s patch includes:

Added general framerate optimizations and improved performance.

Addressed multiple instances of item pick-up issues with ammo boxes and med kits.

Additional Audio optimizations – including reduced audio bark frequency, increased variety and voice over line adjustments

Fixed an issue where players were dying and losing rewards after the Queen had already been defeated.

Fixed several broken doors, checkpoints and triggers that blocked mission progression.

Fixed Horde Mode reward tables not granting rewards after wave 50.

Fixed a few cases of items/rewards displaying the wrong unlock requirements.

Fixed an issue where Bots blocked progression doors from unlocking further parts of a mission if they get unexpectedly stuck.

Arrow keys can now be rebound on PC platforms.

Combat, Class Abilities & Weapon Balance

General

Interaction Bug

Fixed the issue where clients were often unable to interact (grab ammo, pickup items & med kits or interact with consoles) until they reloaded their weapon.
- Interact is now prioritized instead of reload when both options are present (e.g. you’re able to interact with something and pick it up / get its benefit).

- Note: Other interaction issues may persist and will be addressed in future updates.

Perks

Fixed several perks and challenge cards not properly crediting kills or applying their bonuses (Gunslinger, Gravity Vortex/Well, Dual Targeting, Electrified, Coordinated Assault II, and others).
- Corrected numerous perk, augment, and item tooltips that were showing the wrong values or descriptions.

- Heavy Rounds combat rating changed from 45 -> 30 to match its perk size (should be 15 per slot).

Player Character

Fix for dodge rolls feeling unresponsive and potentially not rolling in the correct direction.

Fixed environmental and friendly damage-over-time fields (poison/fire) continuing to hurt players and companion bots after they’d left the area.

Machinist

Fixed an issue where the bodyguard stopped following the player.

Bodyguards should attack targets more reliably.

Turrets and bodyguards deployed by the Machinist now prioritize targets pinged by their owner.

Fixed an issue where in multiplayer, several duplicate voice lines would play when deploying turrets.

Hunter

The Focused Shot: Legs perk incorrectly stated it slowed by 20% instead of 40%.

The Focused Shot: Arms perk incorrectly stated it reduced melee damage by 20% instead of 40%.

Inverted Bolt perk now makes players faster while in the radius as well as enemies.

Arc Bolt now correctly counts kills from the ability towards perks and passive abilities such as Gunslinger.

Fixed Bolt ammo perks not correctly changing the max ammo for clients.

Removed incorrect tooltips from Particle and Cryo Pulse abilities.

Medic

Host is no longer permanently immune to poison damage.

Fixed the poison station doing 4x friendly fire damage.

NOTE: We are looking at changes to make the poison and buff station more viable and drain slower, so look for updates to these in the future.

Duelist

Fixed Gun and Launcher ammo perks not correctly changing the max ammo for clients.

Cover

Should attach less frequently to cover when moving beside it instead of into it.

Throwing grenades from low cover should have a more accurate preview and not explode on the cover you’re throwing it from (unless you aimed it there).

Cryo effects

Lowered the overall duration of cryo effects on players by increasing the decay rate and reducing the decay delay.

Fixed cryo decay being paused by cryo effects when a character is thawing after being frozen and left unshattered, which allowed players to effectively lock enemies in an extended cryo state unintentionally.

Fixed cryo behavior so enemies can only be slowed up to their slow limit when thawing.

Fixed some cryo weapons being unable to damage enemies when they are thawing.

Challenge Cards

Fixed Hold the Line challenge card allowing players to move in ADS if they use underbarrel guns.

Fix for Coordinated Assault II not requiring the correct damage values.

Weapons & Attachments

Weapons

General

Fixed ammo counts getting out of sync between host and other players.

Fixed a laser sight showing up in the wrong position on some weapons.

Fixed issue where players hand would not properly grip the shotgun.

Fixed damage over time weapons automatically reloading when the auto reload setting is turned off.

Fixed weapon overheat status text getting stuck on screen after switching weapons.

Fixed firemode indicators not updating when swapping weapons or classes.

Underbarrels

Fixed underbarrel guns being unaffected by perkboard perks.

Fixed underbarrel guns being unaffected by challenge cards.

Fixed the Classic Pulse Rifle Underbarrel animation looping incorrectly.

Weapons now automatically swap to/from an underbarrel attachment when it runs empty if the “automatically swap when empty” setting is enabled and the other firemode still has ammo.

Firemodes can now be switched mid-reload, cancelling the reload instead of being blocked by it.

Switching firemodes to or from an underbarrel with no ammo will now trigger a reload if the auto reload setting is on.

Fixed underbarrel guns triggering the consumable ammo effects on their parent gun instead of using their own.

Fixed underbarrel ammo icons always being a rocket instead of matching the underbarrel type.

Revolvers

Fixed reloads causing muzzles to float on the Frontier Revolver.

Fixed revolver and revolver rifle cylinders animating out too far.

Fixed the Frontier Revolver cylinder not rotating correctly during reloads.

Spread increase while moving reduced on the revolver rifle to make it more viable to use while moving.

Mondo Heat 9000

Fixed the Mondo Heat underbarrel launcher being able to use consumable ammo and the explosions not dealing thermal damage.

Fixed the Mondo Heat 9000 gun trait causing reloads triggered by consumable ammo to be 20% slower.

The Mondo Heat underbarrel now properly displays as thermal type.

Attachments

Regulating armature can no longer cause negative move speed, which would make players move backwards when holding forward.

AI, Encounters & Level/Mission Design

Enemies

Stuck Enemies

Many fixes went in to address enemies getting stuck via navigation / pathfinding and from their AI getting stuck in a bad state. Our work here is ongoing, as there are still cases of being stuck that require different fixes.

Most enemies should no longer get stuck inside walls after being knocked back, though we still have cases of enemies getting stuck in objects outside of this we’re looking into.

Enemies no longer get stuck in a bad state when taking reactions, especially heavier elemental reactions.

General

Fixed an issue on clients in which the forces on enemies were too high, causing them to slide forward or shoot up with very high values.

Reduced the instances of enemy corpses hanging from the ceiling.

Enemy ragdolls should be more synchronized between hosts and clients.

Improved the visuals of enemies moving on slopped surfaces.

Grapple

Clients no longer have a more difficult minigame to break free of grapples.

Queen

Fixed an issue where players were still dying and losing rewards after the Queen had already been defeated.

She can no longer be frozen as easily and thaws out faster once frozen.

Siren

Siren motion tracker dot now disappears correctly after death.

Synth Sniper

Snipers must now spend their entire aim time on the target before firing. This prevents them from quickscoping and firing on new targets immediately if they lost their old target.

Synth Troopers

Increased detection range to prevent them from standing around without engaging.

Turrets

Fixed the deploy and deactivate animation states of the turret.

Fixed turrets shooting from below the muzzle, which offset their aim.

Harbinger

Now correctly leaps at players with its leaping attack.

Engineer Husk

Nameplate health bar no longer stays on the screen indefinitely.

Slam now deals damage properly at its end.

Spore Thrower

No longer teleports to its left when being electrocuted

Brute

Fixed some instances of the Brute floating in the air upon dying.

Gasbag

Corrected gibs and FX now play if killed by cryo damage or when frozen.

Companions

Fixed downed teammates being knocked out of their “incapacitated” reaction animation by an ally’s ability.

AI companions will now break from cover and reposition once it’s no longer protecting them.

Fixed AI teammates occasionally getting stuck thinking a path was blocked and refusing to move.

Fixed downed AI teammates sometimes staying still even after being revived.

Companions (including the deployable turret) now respond properly when you ping an enemy for them to attack.

Missions & Progression

Fixed several broken doors, checkpoints, and triggers that could block mission progress, especially after a host migration.

Trimmed some repetitive chatter.

Fixed a few cases of items/rewards displaying the wrong unlock requirements.

Fixed mission-select screens showing the wrong enemy types for a couple of missions.

Mission difficulty descriptions now note that Friendly Fire is active on higher difficulties.

Bots are no longer blocking progression doors from unlocking further parts of a mission if they get unexpectedly stuck.

Fixed Horde Mode reward tables not granting rewards after wave 50.

Horde Mode wave 50 rewards should now grant both the helmet and outfit instead of only 1 of 2.

Added XP and credit rewards to Horde Mode that increase every 5 waves up until wave 100.

- +500 from waves 5-25

- +1000 from waves 30-100

We have a suspected fix for players not getting rewards they should have. Now when you load up, the game will check if you SHOULD have gotten a reward for weapons, class, player rank, etc. and attempt to reward you with it. We’ve attempted to resolve this issue, but there may still be situations that you encounter it. We welcome your feedback if you’re still encountering this issue.

Levels & World

Closed off dozens of spots across nearly every level where players could climb, clip, or slip outside the intended play area.

Fixed numerous geometry gaps that let you see outside the level.

Fixed visual pop-in on distant scenery, railings, and walkways in several areas.

Fixed floating/clipping props (barrels, foliage, pipes, decals, crates) throughout multiple levels.

Fixed enemies spawning underneath the floor in a couple of spots.

Fixed one enemy spawn point releasing enemies without their spawn animation playing.

Added a waypoint to reduce confusion after a certain point in the Colony mission.

Multiplayer & Online

Fixed muted teammates showing as unmuted again after leaving and rejoining a lobby.

Fixed your mic appearing active during push-to-talk when it wasn’t.

Fixed matchmaking and crossplay settings resetting unexpectedly.

Fixed disconnecting while queuing not resetting your online status properly.

Removed the “Leave Group” option from the post-game screen.

UI & Menus

Fixed dropdowns appearing behind popups and tooltips.

Fixed the Settings option missing from the title screen on console platforms.

Fixed selecting an Outfit Color switching to the Legs tab.

Fixed the Collection screen item count including items you don’t actually own.

Fixed the Emotes screen sometimes showing an empty list.

The “abandon mission” prompt now requires a hold instead of a quick tap, and only appears in multiplayer.

Fixed ESC not backing out of Settings when opened from the title screen.

Fixed a title-screen intro video restarting repeatedly under certain conditions.

Arrow keys can now be rebound.

Audio

Player and NPC guns firing sfx volume, when heard in third person, has been adjusted and improved.

Game audio now plays as intended after certain cutscenes.

Weapon overheat sfx no longer cutoff prematurely.

Added and adjusted several musical stingers to punctuate gameplay and spooky moments across missions.

Reduced the overall frequency of some player barks.

Reduced on-kill bark chance based on the number of human players so they don’t become 2-4x as common.

Performance

Performance passes across early levels to reduce stuttering.

General framerate and hitching improvements.

Fixed a rare bug that could cause the game to render at a fraction of your screen resolution.

Localization & Credits

Imported updated translations across multiple languages, including new Traditional Chinese and Korean localization.

Corrected several names and titles in the credits.

Platform Specific Updates

Xbox Series X|S Updates

Fixed an issue where if a teammate is muted and the player user leaves and reenters the group, that teammate will still be visually muted despite being able to communicate.

Fixed an issue in which a player will see their username pop up with the microphone as if they’re talking even while push to talk is active and the button isn’t being held.

Xbox crashes in wwise have been fixed.

PlayStation 5 Updates

Audio processing effects now behave as intended on PS5 resulting in pulse weapons exhibiting a flange effect and Intel recording audio playing at the intended volume.
