<![CDATA[ Latest from GamesRadar+ UK in Epic-games ]]> //344567.top 2025-06-13T18:39:46Z en <![CDATA[ Latest from GamesRadar+ UK in Epic-games ]]> Although it's been 10 years since The Witcher 3 came out, CD Projekt Red says The Witcher 4 is coming together using some 🌸of the same "scrappy" energy as its predecessor.

We sat down with CDPR veteran and The Witcher 4 narrative director Philipp Weber to mark 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Witcher 3's 10-year anniversary, and he gave us something of a peek behind the curtain at what the vibe's like at the studio. The Witcher 4 has been in full-scale p🌄roduction since November 2024, and although it won't be out until 2027 at the soonest, it sounds like CDPR is firing oꦓn all cylinders at this point.

Weber told us there's the same "scrappy energy" at the studio that there was when he first joined as quest designer on The Witcher 3 in 2013, a time of "good creative chaos" where a lot of tasks were "a little bit vibe-based" in the sense that developers were just doing what needed to be done regardle❀ss of their specific job titles.

"Sometimes I like to just say, 'Get it done. Do it dir💦ty. Do it the way we usedಌ to do it!" Weber said.

This may sound potentially disorderly, but there's an intention behind this philosophy that's defined by CDPR's appreciation and respect for The Witcher 3's legacy as one of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best RPGs of all time.

"The way we want to do justice to [The Witcher 3's] legacy is to take the philosophy we had during The Witcher 3 – how to make a game, how to really caꦺre about these things, how to tell stories – and keep that," said Weber.

At the same time, "there are [also] new questions we want to answer, because this is supposed to feel like a true sequel, not just redoing what we did before. And I think it's really [about] trying to have that healthy mix of moving forward and also trying out some ಞnew things."

CDPR unleashed a stunning 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:tech demo for The Witcher 4 earlier this month filled with dramatic valleys, enchanting forests, and plenty of grit and gristle that characterizes the medie🦂val age for many of us. Whatever chaotic energy i🎃s driving the sequel's development behind-the-scenes seems A-okay to me if that's the result.

It’s a vastly different experience when compared to the Switch’s often uneven offering, with a bunch of enhancements that help make 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Fortnite feel like a completely different game on the new hardware. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Nintendo Switch 2 boasts a feature that’s not available on other consoles too, the mouse and Joy-Con control scheme that’s quickly become my absolute favorite way 🍷to play.

Epic Games has transformed the experience of Fortnite on Nintendo Switch 2 by bringing it up to relative parity to PS5 and Xbox Series consoles. It’s brilliant in handheld mode, with a great balance of visual fidelity, and quality of life fixes like the increased draw distances. Oppone🉐nts are easy to spot, and water effects are particularly gorgeous thanks to higher quality rendering.

But it’s the mouse mode that’s been the biggest revelation for me, finally giving me a way to experience the precision of mouse aiming, while offering me the option to use a Joy-con as a movement controller. As someone who never quite gelled with the keyboard part of mouse and keyboard setups, this new way to play feels 💜like the perfect configuration, and has given me one heck of an edge over the competition in Battle Royale mode.

If you're on the fence, check out our live 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:N♊intendo Switch 2 review in progress

To be blunt, the Nintendo Switch version of Fortnite was never a viable version for me to play. Muddy visuals paired with imprecise controls and a framerate locked at 30FPS amounted to a vastly inferior experience when compared with PS5 (my main platform), ultimately meaning that I rarely bothered to load up new seasonal updates. Nintendo Switch 2’s update is completely transformative, and it’s in handheld play where this is mostly felt. Now, the Switch 2 is a go-to portable version of the game, allowing me to 🔯chip away at quests, learn the ins and outs of Fortnite OG, and even spend hours mining away in the still-excellent Lego Fortꦑnite Odyssey mode.

Fortnite on Nintendo Switch 2 feels fresh from the outset. There’s a depth and detail to the Battle Royale map that allows for vibrant and colorful map locations like farmland surrounding Kappa Kappa Factory to shine. With Fortnite Super now here, the metallic sheen of Utopia City and the bright oranges of Supernova Academy’s gymnasium building stand out against lush green grasslands and imposing mountains. Most importantly, long-range battles are viabღle, as players appear clearly as they traverse distant hilltops.

Mouse mode is an unexpected delight

An update for Fortnite on Nintendo Switch 2 arrived alongside the latest season, adding in mouse controls. I’ve dabbled with mouse and keyboard in the past, impressed by the extra level of precision aiming while being simultaneously held back by the stiffness of WASD movement. ♐Enabling mouse controls turns one Joy-Con on its side, and by attaching the wrist strap attachment that comes with the Switch 2, you’re able to use it like a mouse. The real highlight is what happens in your other hand. The other Joy-Con operates much like one half of a controller, handling movement and aiming down sights. It’s a winning combination that really gives the Switch 2 version a unique selling point. There’s a huge advantage in using the mouse to swing your camera around, and extra control is given during long-range shootouts.

Of course, the Nintendo Switch 2’s mouse functio🧸n doesn’t quite compare to a proper gaming mouse, and I certainly spent quite some time in menus dialling in the sensitivity of the scope and targeting. After a while though, it all clicks, especially after remapping some of the buttons on your mouse controller for easy sliding and jumping. You can of course plug a mouse into your PS5 or Xbox, or use all manner of configurations on PC, but there’s somethin𒅌g about the Switch 2’s Joy-Con and mouse setup that feels right.

There is a problem with using your Switch 2’s controllers this way, however. It comes down to a grip I have with the Switch 2’s position as a console, in that you’ll need to be sat at a desk to make🧸 the best use of the mouse mode. Currently, I have an awkward setup involving a laptop hard case balanced on top of a small wooden footstool so I can play on my sofa. I have no doubt there will be some third-party solution to this in the future, perhaps even a sort of Labo cardboard box offering from Nintendo. Still, you can just about make it work, and I have to say I’m impressed by how viable the mouse mode is for Fortnite’s Battle Royale and OG modes.

CD Projekt Red explains some of what it does, however, look for in other studios' titles for inspiration to in an interview, starting with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. "I love Kingdom Come because of the reali💧sm and the feeling, the sense of humor," admits co-CEO Adam Badowski. The more systems-heavy and simulation-aligned aspects of the RPG are areas CD Proje𒅌kt Red pays the most attention to, as they might translate well into The Witcher 4.

"The Kingdom Come kind of simulation, it's great," continues the lead. "There are so many options, you can change the world, it's super great. And we would like to keep that, we'd like to follow this trend as well. So these are our next steps for sure, and it's kind of a similar challenge to what we have in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Witcher 3 becaus🌠e of the open world and st🌺orytelling here, freedom of choices." Nailing Kingdom Come's "kind of simulation" isn't easy, though.

"But at the same time, we would like to build very fleshy, very well-motivated characters. So it's kind of in contradiction from time to time. That's a great design challenge." As for other beloved recent RPGs, like Larian Studios' 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Baldur's Gate 3, Badowski explains the inspiration drawn by CD Projekt Red from them hits a bit differently – after all, the turn-based style doesn't exactly fit well into the team's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:open-world "niche" of games like The Witcher 4.

"In Larian's case, it's turn-based, so it's a different kind of game, and the way you interact with characters is totally different," he says. "We like to fully bu🦩ild the characters, understand the past and the future of the characters' motivation. That's why it takes so much time. [In Baldur's Gate 3] there are great characters as well, but sometimes your choices, because there's freedom of choice in Larian's work, it pushes you to use different tricks than ours."

That doesn't mean CD Projekt Red doesn't ever admire Larian🍨's work, however: "I think we observe each other, and there are not that many games like that, so that's natural, yeah, and we see how players react, how fans react to those tactics." Joint CEO Michał Nowakowski adds: "I think we♋'re still more in the, you know, we're a big open world, but a lot of what Baldur's Gate 3 showed was an inspiration, and to be honest, there's no shame in that."

It's not strange for devs to explore fellow devs' work, even if it differs a bit, as Nowakowski details. "I think everybody who launches games now💫adays is looking back on what was done before, and i𝓀s looking at what worked and what was great and how and if they can fit it into whatever they are doing." CD Projekt Red will, for the most part, stick to its own past games for the bulk of its inspiration while developing new titles, though.

"So, for sur🔴e, there was a lot of inspiration in what BG3 did, but I think we're still more sticking to what was The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk, even if we don't want to just make another✤ game like that, just with better graphics," as Nowakowski says – but it'll all be bigger and better. "We do want to innovate in terms of what's available in terms of gameplay and so on. I hope when the time comes, that's going to become clear for the fans as well."

Concluding CD Projekt Red's thoughts on inspiration drawn from Baldur's Gate 3 and the like, Nowakowski clarifies his and Badowski's words so far: "It's a bit of an unclear answer, but to make it more clear, we definitely are not going to make a game like Larian did. That's the kind of game they can make. But a lot of stuff with how the characters can interact with the world and what it does was for sure some inspiration to us."

It's not often we horse girls get to experience games with realistic mounts – the movement is wonky, the animation is off, and the horses feel like they were implemented with little regard for their real-life counterparts. That's why titles like 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Red Dead Redemption 2 thaꦉt feature a semblance of horse realism stand out and attract more than just your average RPG fans, but they're a rarity, and they're admittedly sti𝓀ll lacking in many areas.

The Witcher 4 might just rewrite the genre's reputation in equestrians' minds, however, with its impressive tech powering the 澳洲𒁃幸运5开奖号码历史查询:"realistic muscles moving and 🌠stretching" under the skin of Ciri's horse, Kelpie. I'm not the only one who thinks so, either – Alice Ruppert, the eq꧅uestrian and game developer behind , a website "dedicated to horses in video games and video games about horses," seems to think so, too.

Ruppert discusses CD Projekt Red's tech demo and its exploration of Kelpie's movements, muscles, and more, and it's safe to say she's impressed – although she does proceed with caution as the showcase is meant to highlight developers' "ambition for the game and the in-engine cap♚abilities" rather than The Witcher 4 as it'll play upon re💮lease. "In the minute or so of footage the tech demo shows us of Kelpie, I 𝔉find a lot of detail to appreciate."

She continues: "We see Kelpie move at a trot and canter in a generally anatomically correct and possible fashion" – a rare sight ot behold in video games, unfortunately. Ruppert also notes that it's nice to see Kelpie treated as a companion rather than a vehicle. "The demo treats Kelpie like a character rather than a bicycle: Ciri calls her name and ꦉthe horse reacts and canters up to her and Ciri gives her a little pat after mounting."

There's no telling whether this means we'll get more interactions than we did with Roach as Geralt in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Witcher 3, but it's certainly a good sign "that the horse gameplay in The Witcher 4 is getting some additional attention compared to its🔥 predecessor." Ruppert then gets into some of the more movement-related specifics from the demo, as it "goes on to show off Kelpie's coat texture and muscle simulation at a gallop in slow motion."

It all looks so smooth, she guesses animations "were most likely either motion captured or animated by someone w♏ho really knows their horses, and seeing it is balm on my soul." While there are flaws, as Ruppert notes, they require "nitpick🌞ing on a very high level" as "what we see in the Witcher 4 tech demo is easily one of the overall most impressive and well put together game horse animations ever seen, even if it isn't literally perfect in every way."

As both a longtime horse and RPG lover myself, I can't help but understand what Ruppert means when she admits she "got tears in my eyes the first time I watched this out of sheer 'oh my god they're taking the horse seriously' awe" – the tech demo is stunning, and I agree with her conclusion that "we horse-loving gamers may be in for an absolute treat" if CD Projekt Red's showcase acts as an indicator of what's to come in The Witcher 4.

It seems CD Projekt Red devs aren't immune to the effects the impressive tech demo had on the community, and it's not hard to see why – from the first look at The Witcher 4's setting in the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:never-before-seen kingdom of Kovir to its 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:hyper-realistic horse anatomy, it left plenty to be excited about. The stunning visuals and performance offered nothing to scoff at, even if mostly a glance at the studio's "a♔mbition fo🤡r the game and the in-engine capabilities."

Here’s the very first look at the tech powering The Witcher 4, developed by our team in collaboration with Epic, in buttery sm💎ooth 4K/60fps.This game is shaping up to be something special and we can’t wait to show you more when the time is right! //t.co/8ld835Vgv8

As global community director Marcin Momot writes in a , the demo demonstrated "the tech powering The Witcher 4, developed 🐓by our team in collaboration with Epic, in buttery smooth 4K/60fps" – some undeniably solid numbers considering the high-tech features CD Projekt Red and Epic Games were highlighting. "This game is shaping up to be something special and we can't wait to show you more when the time is right!"

In a reply toꦑ his tweet, : "Our team is fu🌱ll of wizards!"

GSA Head of Communication Fabian Mario Döhla seems similarly blown away by the tech demo, revealing in his own that he's p🦹layed it himself – and he "still can't get enough" of it.

"Some of the best – and genuinely nicest – developers in the industry have poured their heart and soul into this," he says. "I hope you had fun with the tech demo – I've played (on a base PS5!) aไnd watched it a thousand times, and I still can't get enough."

Suffice to say, The Witcher 4 sounds as though it's shaping up to be one of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best RPGs in a long while – and although yesterday's showcase was only a tech demo, its deep dive into the engine housing the game has me thrilled for more as a longtime f♊an.

Between this and other 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming CD Projekt Red games, like the mysterious codenamed 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Project Sirius, another Witcher title devs say will "differ from past pr𒐪oductions," there's much to look forward to.

The tech demo left fans of The Witcher series in a chokehold, blown away by the upcoming game's stunning 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:new setting in the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:never-before-seen kingdom of Kovir and its 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:hyper-realistic horse anatomy. But according to Kalemba, it wasn't exactly an entirely accurate showcase of the RPG as it'll be when it releases, but rather a dee♑p dive int♒o the impressive Unreal Engine 5 technology that's powering The Witcher 4.

Kalemba clarifies as much in an online following the stream. "T🦩his demo is t♑he direct result of the strategic partnership we announced back in 2022 between CD Projekt Red and Epic Games," writes the lead, going on to describe the studio's work with Epic to enhance the Unreal Engine's toolset. "Since then, we've been working closely together to develop new tools and enhance existing features in Unreal Engine 5."

I was privileged to present The Witcher 4 Tech Demo on behalf of the entire CD💛 PROJEKT RED team and I’m incredibly grateful for this opportunity. Huge congrats to both teams at RED and Epic for pulling it off.This🙈 demo is the direct result of the strategic partnership we… //t.co/ZvybUteOlU

That's where yesterday's State of U🐼nreal stream comes in – as a look into the "ambition" CD Projekt Red has for the game, rather than the actual final product in action. "The tech demo, running on PlayStation 5 at 60 frames per second," writes Kalemba, "showcases both our ambition for the game and the in-engine capabilities powering The Witcher 4." The director then stresses again t🔯hat the tech demo is just that.

"One super important thing to remember: this isn't a demo of the game itself, but rather a showcase of the engine and its capabilities," concludes Kalemba. "It's an early look and𝔍 demonstration of what's possible at this stage of development, thanks to everyone's joint efforts."

In a follow-up , h♉e also explains that, while the demo ran on a PlayStation 5, the technology "works across all platforms the game will launch on."

Despite knowing the tech demo was a quick peek into what the Unreal Engine can do myself, I can't help but be all the more excited for the yet-to-arrive RPG – I mean, just look at those 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:new Witcher 4 screenshots shared yesterday.

Epic boss Tim Sweeney that "the Epic Games launcher is clunky." In the company's , Epic Games Store general manager Steve Allison agreed that "even after years of building the store on PC, we know there's still a toꦍn of work to be done to deliver a world-class experience."

"Long overdue" features are on their way, Allison said. Years after launch, the Epic Games Store is "finally" getting game preloading in September. Epic is al꧑so looking to add gifting "in time for the holidays."

New🔯 Epic Games Store social features coming this year also promise "game-independent voice chat, text chat, and parties, along with robust game invites for third-party games." Yes, the store has not had all of these features for several years.

"We're also putting 🌞great focus on ongoing launcher improvements that will make the store feel great to use," Allison added (my hottest tip: remember my freakin' login!).

When and how Epic may finally d♐eliver these improvements, or bette🔯r address the gulf in game discoverability, which is one of Steam's biggest advantages, remains to be seen.

I'll tell you one thing Epic can definitely do better than Valve: 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:light money on fire.

I say that cynically, but Epic's 'money is going out of fashion' strategy is great for game developers, as well as PC gamers who enjoy collecting free games like Pokemon, and it's demonstrably offering a better cut than Steam's revenue share mo𒈔del. To bring you up to speed on all the rules, recently announced changes, and offers:

Devs pay 0% in store fees on the first $1 million of revenue per year, per game (app) as of this month
Epic First Run also gives devs 100% of their first six months of revenue if they agree to Epic exclusivity for that period
After these windows close, devs return to Epic's standard 88/12 revenue split (Steam is still 70/30 at base, with better splits for higher-earning games)
Through the end of 2025, devs also keep the first six months of revenue for "back catalog" games brought to the Epic Games Store
Shipping an Unreal Engine game "day-and-date on the Epic Games Store" cuts the Unreal royalty from 5% to 3.5%
Devs working in Unreal Engine pay 0% royalties on "all Epic Game Store sales where we process payment"
Never missing a dig at apple, Epic stresses that devs can use any in-app purchase payment solution you want

Epic owns Unreal, as a remindℱer, which is part of the reason it has so much money to burn. Of course, the main reason is Fortnite. Allison says Epic has paid out over $2.1 billion to developer and publisher partners to date; in its 2024 reflection, Epic said it gave out nearly 595 million free games last year.

No, your Steam info isn't being sold on the dark web: Valve confirms the Steam leak was just a bunch of old, harmless texts and "you do not need to change your passwords."

Game director Sebastian Kalemba begins by introducing the new Witcher protagonist and her mount. "Just like Geralt had Roach, Ciri has her own loyal companion," he explains. "These two characters need to feel like one – since you're gonna explore the world on horseback, riding needs to feel seamless, natural, and just fun." What exactly does the lead mean by that? Everything about Kelpie is so realistic, it'd make horses in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Red Dead Redemption 2 blush.

Epic Games' senior director of product strategy, Wyeth Johnson, dives into this hyper-realism in depth: "We're introducing multi-character Motion Matching in Unreal, so Ciri and Kelpie, they're perfectly synchronized when mounting from any angle and speed," he describes, going on to detail some of the Unreal Engine tech used. "We also support Ro𒅌ot Motion movement on Kelpie, so controlling her feels realistic and grounded."

Kelpie's realism doesn't end with the immersiveꦑ Root Motion tech, though. "There are also some really nice improvements to our Unreal Chaos Flesh solver and these machine-learned deformations," Johnson con🌌cludes alongside a mind-boggling visual of everything in action as an unsaddled Kelpie gallops across the screen. "So you've got realistic muscles moving and stretching under Kelpie's skin without compromising the performance there."

The Witcher 4 is shaping up to be a breathtaking entry in CD Projekt Red's beloved series of RPGs, from its ultra-realistic horseback riding, to its 澳洲⛄幸运5开奖号码历史查询:setting in the never-before-seen kingdom of Kov༒ir – and as a longtime fan myself, I can't wait to experience it all firsthand whenever the game releases. For now, however, I'll have to remain content with shuffling through the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:new Witcher 4 screenshots shared today and rewinding the tech demo.

Need even more to look forward to? Here are other 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:new games coming this year and beyond.

CDPR and Epic shared just over a dozen new images, as they collaborated to show off the latest state of the latter's Unreal Engine - which 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Witcher 4 is made in (and which its reveal trailer from 2024 was pre-rendered in). Frankly, they look astounding - Ciri looks better than ever, but the world around her is also huge, incredibly detailed, and filled with N💮PCs.

There are plenty of things to pick up on there, but that final picture really blows me away. The draw distance and terrain detailing are both astounding, but so is the foliage quality in that forest image. My real highlight, however, was the sheer volu🍌me of NPCs in that village 🌞scene - a density, if not quantity, that blows anything The Witcher 3 managed out of the water.

The other notable part of this demo was a look at Ciri herself. We got a good look at her in the original trailer, of course, ꦉbut CDPR has offered a little extra here. Nothing much has changed, but I do enjoy the picture of her facing down a distant draconid - at this distance, it's hard to tell exactly what it is, but it has thrown me. Witchers don't hunt true dragons, of course, but it's also not obviously a Wyvern or Forktail. Perhaps it's a previously unseen type of massive, flying lizard?

Actually, I might be wrong about those lizard allegations. Some of the o൩fficial images from the trailer are pretty dark, but they revolve around some unfortunate NPCs appearing to come up against a nighttime threat. In those pictures, we get up-close-and-personal with some kind of bat-like monster with big wings - that could be the flying creature from earlier, but even if it is, I can't tell what we're coming up a🌠gainst.

Finally, there's a closer look at Ciri's horse. One of these images is an out-of-game render, buꦕt the other seems to be an in-game shot. Sure, it's not Roach - but actually, maybe it is, who knows what Ciri🎐's horse-naming conventions will be? Why wouldn't she borrow them from Geralt?

That's a full run-down of all the new official screenshots, but we'll have plenty more breakdowns of the new Witcher 4 informatio🌺n as the day goes on.

CDPR devs are so locked into The Witcher 4 that they're apparently using its new control scheme by accident while playing other games.

Alongside a deeper dive into 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Ciri's new role as protagonist, CD Projekt Red's showcase gives fans a glance at where they'll be adventuring as the younger Witcher: the kingdom of Kovir and Poviss, a region players weren't able to explore in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Witcher 3 as Geralt. Standing as the 🌱largest exporter of mineral resources, rich in mountains and mines, Kovir is situated north of Redania on the Gulf of Praxeda.

If the name of the mountainous Northern Realm doesn't ring a bell, don't be surprised – it's never actively visited by Geralt in CD Proje𒁏kt Red's other games, and only briefly comes up in narration depending on who players choose to🦋 romance in The Witcher 3. Should fans opt to romance Triss Merigold, they're advised that she and Geralt have moved to Kovir. There, Triss acts as court advisor to King Tankred Thyssen.

In The Witcher 4, it seems that, as Ciri, players will finally be able to traverse the kingdom themselves. There's no telling what the new setting could mean in terms of which of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Witcher 3 endings qualify as the "canon" finale for Geralt, but it's exciting to see Kovir take on a more central role in-game than ever before. Judging by the tech demo, it's also set😼 to be downright stunning – looming pine trees, snow-capped mountains, and all.

The new game looks massive, and there's more to come than just The Witcher 4, too - there are other 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming CD Projekt Red games like the mysterious codenamed 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Project Sirius, another Witcher title that developers say will "differ from past productions" at CDPR. A new story from 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Witcher books' author Andrzej Sapkowski is also out now, having arrived over a decade after the series' last title.

Need even more to look forward to? Here are other 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:new games coming this year and beyond.

The presentation will include news, reveals, and presentations about Unreal.

is taking place June 2 to June 5, just before 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Summer Game Fest 2025 kicks off. You can attend in person in Orlando, Florida, for the price of $749 per𒆙 ticket🍃. Or, you can catch the State of Unreal live streamed to both Twitch and YouTube. It'll be shown Tuesday June 3 at 6:30am PT / 9:30am ET / 2:30pm BST on the Unreal Engine YouTube and Twitch channels.

This State of Unreal show will include presentations from Epic CEO Tim Sweeney, executive vice president Saxs Persson, director of creator relations Hannah Lowry, vice president and general manager of Unreal Engi🐲ne Bill Clifford, and other leadership at Epic Games, as well as the company's industry partners.

Recently, Sweeney has been very vocal on social media about Epic's battle against Apple. It seems to have won its fight to get Fortnite back on iOS, as the battle royale has returned to the App Store in the United States following 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Apple having "blocked" it. Sweeney could address the legal battle during this p𝐆resentation.

Last year, during GDC, there was during the State of Unreal. There was a preview of Unreal Engine 5.4, which is great for developers. We also saw MetaHuman added to Fortnite. This allow🐠s you to add fully rigged NPCs to your Fortnite islands.

So, there's no telling what could be🐬♏ coming this year, especially as it's happening during Epic's own event.

In the meantime, check out all the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best PC games you can play today.

"We pushed a hotfix within 3🐠0 minutes of this happening in-game, so this shouldn’t happen again," it says in a senior reporter Ethan Gach.

Original story:

An AI-version of Darth Vader that can talk to you has been added to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Fortnite and it's gone pretty much exactly as you'd expect. People have already made him🌼 swear and talk about skibidi toilets.

Fortnite has collaborated with Google Gemini and ElevenLabs to turn Darth Vader into even more of a mechanical monstrosity than he already is. Now, wh🍷en he appears in Fortnite, you can hold a button to talk to him via your microphone and he'll actually respond t𒉰o whatever you've said.

According to a tweet from prominent Fortnite leaker , he is not supposed to engage in "sexual or romantic language," he should "never say or r🐼epeat any offensive word," and he should also avoid the subject of terrorism. Sounds reasonable. People have already gotten around at least one of these guardrails though.

Twitch streamer Loserfruit says to Vader, "What freaking fucking food is that Darth Vader?" He responds, "Freakiꦿng, fucking! Such vulgarity does not become you." In a , she gets him to discuss romantic partners –another thing he's apparently not meant to do.

A video (which we🃏're not going to link to here for obvious reasons) is already circulating of the AI Vader apparently saying a homophobic slur, too – it's not clear h🅺ow the players made him do so, or if the clip was edited at all.

Loserfruit made the AI Da𝄹rth Vader Swear 😂 pic.twitter.com/bJmPpqGXv﷽f

All that aside, if you think the AI's voice sounds quite close to actual Vader, that's because the late James Earl Jones (who passed away last year) has had his voice re-created by gener🐻ative AI.

Jones' family gave the following : "James Earl felt that the voice of Darth Vader was inseparable from the story of Star Wars, and he always wanted fans of all ages to continue to experience it. We🐬 hope that this collaboration with Fortnite will allo൩w both longtime fans of Darth Vader and newer generations to share in the enjoyment of this iconic character."

I doubt Jones' family imagined hearing him , "these skibidi toilets, are they some new form of Rebel Alliance?" Clearly, some work still needs to be put in to ensure AI Vader doesn't say any more things Epic and Disney won't be happy with. Maybe this will be fixed by the time 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Fortnite is unblocked by Apple.

A lot of fans aren't happy with the use of generative AI in the game in general. The increasingly common use of it worldwide continues to be a controversial topic, thanks to environmental concerns, worries about it reducing creativity, and potentially replacing human workers in some jobs. There's also the potential problem of AI taking from others' work when it comes to things like art, and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:even actors' voices, potentially without their consent.

"Absolute fucking garbage. I don't know how much I want to support the game right now because of shit like 💧this. I hope this gets brok𝐆en in a day and we never see it again. Fucking waste," one angry player.

Another , "putting geꦓnerative AI in your games isn't very epic," while another , "why does a battle royale game need to contribute to boiling the oceans," referring to the extreme energy and water cost of generative AI use.

The official Fortnite account posted a statement to Twitter that reads: "Apple has blocked our Fortnite submission so we cannot release to the US App Store or to the Epic Games Store for iOS in 🙈the European Union."

Apple has blocked our Fortnite submission so we cannot release to the US App S📖tore or to the Epic Games Store for iOS in the European Union. Now, sadly, Fortnite on iOS will be offline worldwide until Apple unblocks it.

As a re💝sult, it continues, "Fortnite on iOS will be offline worldwide until Apple unblocks it."

This all follows a lengthy legal battle between Apple and Epic Games that started in 2020. The game was first removed from the App Store following Epic offering players a way to pay 𒁃directly to ci🧸rcumvent Apple's 30% cut on app and in-app purchases. It was also taken off of the Google Play Store for offering the same option.

A judge had🐬 ruled that Apple was allegedly "in willful violation of this Court's 2021 Injunction which issued to restrain and prohibit Apple's anticompetitive conduct and anticompetitive pricing," but that doesn't appear to have helped get the game back on the App Store.

Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney has repeatedly called the tech company out on Twitter. He's recen❀tly beeꦚn retweeting showing the discrepancy between how Apple originally claimed apps that used third-party payment services would look and how they actually look. At the time of writing, however, he's not tweeted anything about the game's iOS submission being blocked.

For now, Fortnite is available on Android devices through its Epic Games Store mobile app, which🌟 you can learn how to download .

All you have to do is make your purchases directly through Epic rather than a p⭕latform-holder's store. As Fortnite𝓰 makes ready to return to iPhones following years of legal drama, it's difficult to see this as anything other than one last jab at Apple.

"Starting today, when you make a purchase in Fortnite, Rocket League, and Fall Guys using Epic’s payment system globally on PC, iOS, Android, and the web, you’ll get 20% back in Epic Rewards," the publisher explains in its . "You can spend your rewards in Fortnite and our other games, or on the Epic Games Store when you use Epic’s payment system. These 20% rewardsܫ in Epic's games are here to stay."

With respect to Fall Guys and Rocket League, the big story here is that these rewards effectively make Fortnite's V-bucks 20% cheaper – with the obvious caveat tha♛t you can only spend your rewards balance in Epic's ecosystem. Still, if you're the type to make repeated Fortnite Item Shop purchases, those rewards will add up.

While you'll only get prompted to go to the external Epic payment service for your purchases on 🍌mobi🐎le, console Fortnite players can still get the benefit of the extra rewards by buying through the .

This rewards upgrade comes just as Epic that it's "submitted Fortnite to Apple for re𒉰view so we can launch on the App Store in the U.S." 🦂Apple may yet find some reason to reject the game yet again, but for now it looks like Fortnite's return to the App Store is finally nigh.

There's some irony here in that Epic once before offered a 20% discount on V-bucks for players bypassing third-party payment options to buy direct from the publisher. That happened in 2020, and it was what prompted Apple and Google to both kick For🤪tnite from their platforms, resulting in the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:legal battle thatও's only recently resol🥀ved.

Th⛎is is a full, $40 remaster of the original Gears of War setꦫ to launch on August 26 across Xbox Series X and PC, including Game Pass, and it's coming to PS5 too.

Gears of War: Reloaded will be priced at $40, but "as a token of our gratitude to longtime fans," you'll get it for free if you've purchased a digital version of the previous remaster, Ultimate🌳 Edition, on Xbox or PC. If you've bought Ultimate Edition before today, May 5, you'll get a code for Reloaded via direct message on Xbox.

Reloaded promises 4K, 60 FPS gameplay in campaign, or 120 FPS in multiplayer, alongsi💫de a host of other tech features, including audio options like 7.1.4 Dolby Atmos and 3D spatial audꦏio, video options like HDR and Dolby Vision, and VRR support.

You can read the full list of newဣ features in the , but there are also new graphical tweaks including improꦆved textures, visual effects, and shadows. Plus there'll be "zero loading screens during Campaign."

This remaster will, of course, include the bonus campaign act first included with𒁏 the PC version of the game, as well as "immediate access to all post-launch downloadable cওontent at no additional cost."

Perhaps the most notable detail here is the fact that the game is coming to PlayStation for the ꩲfirst time, and Xbox promises fu💝ll crossplay and cross-progression support for all platforms via a Microsoft account.

If you don't want cross-platform features, though, you won't be required to sign into that account, sidestepping the same kind of misstep❀ Sony has frequently tried to make in the past with its own account requirements.

"Gears of War: Reloaded includes platform-specific🥃 features that make the most of the hardware you already own," Xbox adds. The details of those enhancements aren't clear, but it's easy to imagine DualSense controller features and PS5 Pro enhancements being among them, and it's wild to think that Gears, a former Xbox exclusive, will be offering what might just be its most definitive port on PlayStation in a few months' time.

Take aim at the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best FPS games out there today.

This comes as Epic Games "puts forth a peace proposal" to Apple following the latest developments in its legal battle, which could also see it return to the mobile platform worldwide.

Epic and Apple have been engaged in a legal battle since 2020, following the removal of Fortnite from the App Store. The☂ argument basically all goes back to the fact that Apple generally takes a 30% cut on both apps and in-app purchases (it's sometimes 15%, depending on if you qualify for its "Small Business" program).

As a result of this, in 2020, Epic introduced a new change to its battle roy🐻ale, which "gave Fortnite players on iOS and Google Play a choice between Apple/Google payment and Epic direct payment, passing on savings to direct purchasers." After this, the battle royale got pulled from the pꦆlatform, and the rest is history.

The 𒀰 as of yesterday, April 30, is that a judge has ruled that Apple is allegedly "in willful violation of this Court's 2021 Injunction which issued to restrain and prohibit Apple's anticompetitive conduct and anticompetitive pricing." Furthermore, it's stated that "effective immediately Apple will no longer impede developers' ability to communicate with users nor will they levy or impose a new commission on off-app purchases."

Following this, Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney has taken to Twitter, announcing: "We will return 🐭Fortnite to the US iOS App Store next week.

"Epic puts forth a peace proposal: If Apple extends the court's friction-free, Apple-tax-free framework⛦ worldwide, we'll return Fortnite to the App Store wor𓄧ldwide and drop current and future litigation on the topic."

Fortnite already returned to iOS in the European Union last year via its mobile Epic Games Store app, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:as a result of the Digital Markets Act, so this is the next big step for the battle royale's mobile 🍬comeback. Whether it'll get that worldwide rollout eventually remains to be seen, but 𒆙for now this is a huge win for any fans in the US.

The first two episodes of Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld are set to premiere May 2 at 10am ET/7am PT on Fortnite (That's 3pm in the UK), to coincide with the first entirely Star Wars-themed battle royale season. Fans can link their Epic Games and MyDisney accounts to unlock the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:🍌Fortnite First🃏 Order Stormtrooper skin for free, ꦆand this also marks the first time a Disney Plus series has ever premiered in a video game.

Tales of the Underworld is a continuation of the popular animated anthology series, with the previous installments being 2022's Tales of the Jedi and 2024's Tales of tꦉhe Empire. Tales of the Underworld follows former assassin, bounty hunter, and fan-favorite Clone Wars character Asajj Ventress ꩵas she goes on the run with a new ally, while outlaw Cad Bane is forced to confront his past.

The voice cꦆast includes Nika Futterman, Corey Burton, Artt Butler, Lane Factor, AJ LoCascio, Clare Grant, Dawn-Lyen Gardner, and Eric Lopez. Dave Filoni serves as supervising director, with Matt Michnovetz (Star Wars: The Clone Wars) as head writer.

Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld is set to hit Disney Plus on May 4. The six-episode series is set to launch all at once. For more news from a galaxy far, far away, check out our guide to all of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming Star Wars movies and shows.

Fortnite has loads of f𝓡un collab cosmetics, allowing players to go for a victory royale as everyone from Spider-Man to Satoru Gojo, to Hatsune Miku and Solid Snake, but sometimes, actually being able to get your hands on the skins is easier said than done. Cosmetics released in the item shop are constantly rotating in and out, so they're not always available, and some thiꦜngs have been absent for quite some time.

While I've been in a constant state of regret over missing out on Resident Evil's Leon Kennedy in 2023, fans of other franchises have been waiting even longer for certain collaborations to return, like the popular League of Legends Arcane skins, which have been missing for over three years and won't be coming back "in the foreseeable future." It's stuff like that that makes the return of Borderlands' own Psycho Bandit bundle – complete with the skin itsel♕f, as well as a Claptrap back bling and Psycho Buzz Axes – even more worth celebrating.

Everybody's favorite overenthusiast♔ic robot is back - Claptrap and the Psycho Bandit return tonight!🥳 pic.twitter.com/C50rFnbCVW

The last time these cosmetics were available to buy from the battle royale's item shop was all the way back in May 2020, so it's been a really long time coming for anyone who missed out. There was a longer period of availability for the skin for anyone who was up for buying Bor⛦derlands 3 on the Epic Games Store before the end of 2020 – those players got it as an extra bonus, but that eligibility period has long ♈since expired.

Looking at the fine print in the item shop today, it's confirmed that Psycho Bandit will be available to buy until May 3 at 5pm PT, 8pm ET, or May 𝓀4 at 1am BST. After th꧅at, as with any skin, it's not known how long it'll be before he's back again.

While some players love having "r🌠are" skins, those being ones which haven't been seen ♊in ages or were only available for a very limited time, I imagine there's a lot more people simply happy to have the opportunity to grab a collab they missed out on before.

Is that going to stop some old Psycho Bandit owners from being a tad annoyed that their skin isn't as elusive as it once was? Probably not. But perso♛nally, I hope this sets the stage for even more of the long-forgotten collabs to return to the battle royal♛e.

Again, the timing of the skin's comeback is impeccable, as just a couple of hours ago it was revealed that Borderlands 4 is now set to release on Sepᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚtember 12 instead of September 23, so we can prepare to embark on the new looter shooter 11 days earlier than expected.

It's also been reveal🌃ed that the deep dive Borderlands 4 State of Play will be taking place tomorrow, which should hopefully be full of new details for us to pore over.

Borderlands 4's tone sits somewhere between the first two games, which probably means less Skibidi Toilet and more Handsome Jack-style antics.

Fortnite has a history of skins and cosmetics disappearing for months and even years at a time, despite the cries from fans to bring them back so that they can splash their hard-earned V-Bucks. Popularity and demand don't always seem to matter, and the Arcane Jinx and Vi skins are perhaps the greates🙈t examples of that.

Jinx was first added to Fortnite in November 2021, coinciding with the release of the first season of Arcane, while Vi was added months later in January 2022. The last time either of them were availab🐼le to buy was early February 2022, meaning it's now been over three years since fans have been able to get their hands on them. The window to do so in the first place was very limited, especially for Vi, who had only two🎐 weeks in the item shop.

Needless to say, you can understand why there's been such a loud crowd of fans campaigning to bring them back, and a few days ago, hopes were reignited when Riot co-founder he'd "check in on where we landed with the team and circle back this week." 💃Unfortunately, the update isn't exactly positive.

Merrill says that bringing Jinx and Vi to Fortnite was "as a new kind of crossover for us and we hope it helped make S1 launch feel truly special," and in the time since, "Fortnite has evolved a ton with new experiences and collabs, and we've had a lot of conversations with Epic about what might be possible." However, while he concludes thꦐat the people at Epic have "been great partners," ultimately, "we haven't been able to find the right fit to bring the Arcane skins back and it unfortunately won't be happening in the foreseeable future."

As an update to all of the players that have been pinging us on the Arcane skin status, I wanted to circle back with you all.Rewinding🌜 back to 2021, when we fir📖st teamed up with Epic to bring Jinx and Vi to Fortnite, it was a new kind of crossover for us and we hope it helped…

Obviously, Riot is well aware of the demand, as Merrill notes that "we know there's been a ﷽lot of love for these – and we really appreciate how much you all care and how much effort you've put into advocating for their return." Sadly, though, that clearly doesn't cut it.

Not all hope is lost, as he mentions that "if anything chan♊ges in the future, we'll let you know ASAP!" The second season of Arcane has been and gone at this point with the Fortnite cosmetics still nowhere to be seen, so it's not clear what would have to happen to make it happen, but the situation continues to suck for anyone who missed out before.

Other games crossing over 🔴with Fortnite isn't anything new; we've had obvious♚ gaming legends like Lara Croft, Doom Guy, and Solid Snake hop on the battle bus, while more contemporary picks like Alan Wake, Aloy, and Lethal Company's 'The Employee' have also made their way to the game in recent years. And according to rumors, Kingdom Come: Deliverance was supposed to be joining the fold soon, but it's not looking likely.

During an episode of the , one of the hosts, Shpeshal Nick, gave out a massive l꧒ist of skins allegedly coming to Fortnite. These included further additions to pre-existing collabs like Mortal Kombat and Doom, new ones like Death Stranding and Double Dragon, and also 'Jack Black,' not Minecraft Steve, just Jack Black. One of the things listed was Kingdom🔯 Come: Deliverance.

However, the quickly debu꧅nked this, saying, "@Fortnite anything you know that we don't[?]" Alongside this, asked Luke Dale – who voices Hans Capon in the game – who was als𒊎o unaware of any collaboration.

Ironically, this is probably the type of thing that could put plans for a Kingdom Come: Deliverance collab into motion now that the te🌠am has acknowledged it. While this is the only name 𒐪from the list that has been outright debunked, it does put the rest of it into question.

Shpeshal Nick also mentioned Tony Hawk Pro Skater skins and an event, and considering the Pro Skater 3+4 remake is out in July, that's probably the soonest we'll get any confirmation of anythiꦉng on this list.

We recently found out the Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Hardcore mode is releasing this week.

What are Creator Made Islands in Fortnite?

Fortnite Summer Road Trip Creator Made Islands — (Image credit: Epic Games)

You can find Creator Made Islands in Fortnite by scrolling down on the main Play lobby screen – any of the options you see that don't have the Epic Games badge at the top left of their icon are Creator Made Islands. There's even a 'Great for Summer Road Trip' section currently, to easily help you find experiences to earn XP in for these challenges. To check you've selected the right sort of level, you can switch to the Quests tab in the lobby and confirm any of the Earn XP in Creator Made Islands you have available are not greyed out. You should also track that quest and 𓆏make sure the level you're playing is actually awarding XP, as some are much more generous than others.

This is a perfect opportunity to try out Firewalk's hero shooter over a month before the August 23 launch date, as well as meeting the full 16-character roster while experiencing a number of different maps and game modes. Thanks to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Concord crossplay you'll be able to join up with friends across PS5 and PC – although you will 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询♈:need a PSN account to play Concord on PC if you don't have one already. For the lowdown on what's included, here's when the Concord beta is running an♐d how to access it.

When is the Concord beta running?

Concord Open Beta characters, maps, and modes — (Image credit: Sony)

The Concord beta is divided up into two separate sessions, which will ♋be running over consecutive weekends. These are as follows:

Concord Beta Early Access weekend: 12-14 July (Friday-Sunday)
Concord Open Beta weekend: 18-21 July (Thursday-Sunday)

To play the Concord Early Access beta, you need to pre-order the game through the PlayStation Store, PlayStation Direct, Epic Games Store, or Steam, after which you'll be sent an email – this will contain codes for you and four of your friends so you can all access the beta early! (On Steam, your additional beta invites can be found in your inventory.) Those that have pre-ordered can also pre-load the Early Access B🥂eta on PS5 now so that you can hop right in when it launches at 10am PDT / 1pm EDT / 6pm BST on July 12.

If you're a PlayStation Plus subs𒁏criber, you can also play this Early Acces💧s session, but pre-loading is not an option unfortunately, so you'll have to download it as soon as it launches at 10am PST.

As for the Concord Open Beta, anyone can play so you just need to install it onto your PS5 or PC when it launches on July 18 at 10am PDT / 1pm EDT / 6pm BST with no pre-purchase required. However, those on PS5 can pre-download the beta from July 17 at 10am PDT to get ahead and dive straight in at launch.

Be aware that progress carries over from the Early Access Beta to the Open Beta, so you can get a good head start by playing early. Unfortunately, beta progꦯress does not carry over to the full game, which launches on August 23. Beta tes⛎ters will be awarded with the Lil' Frog weapon charm and the Star Flare Business Card as a thank you gift.

Which characters are in the Concord beta?

However, this does come with a catch – fresh promos are only being released to coincide with the developer livestreams at the moment, and those expire soon after they're announced. The last of these arrived with livestream 2.4 on May 30 but expired on June 1, 2025, so you'll need to wait for the next event for new codes.

When available, Wuthering Waves redemption codes 🌞will give you a significant boost in this gacha RPG, whether you're a seasoned Rover of Solaris-3 or just beginning your adventures. As promo codes for Wuthering Waves are released through various channels, I've collected all the information here for easy access.

When redeemed, these promo codes will give players a selection of useful items, with the most important being Astrite. That resource is used to purchase Tides, which in turn fund 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Wuthering Waves wishes – pul🅷ls in the gacha side of the game to obtain new Resonators and more. Check🌳 back here regularly as I'll be adding new Wuthering Waves codes as they're announced, so you'll always be up to date on the latest offers.

Wuthering Waves codes

WUTHERINGGIFT – 50 Astrite, two Premium Resonance Potion, two Medium Revival Inhaler, two Medium Energy Bag, 10,000 Shell Credit

This Wuthering Waves code was included at launch and is likely to be permanent, so check it from time to time and see if you can receiv🌟e any extra rewards from it. Other than that, the only promos that seem to be released now are connected to the regular livestreams, though they are only valid for a couple of days so you need to act fast to catch them. If you receive a message stating "The redemption code has been used" when you try to🔥 claim one, then it either crosses over with another code you've previously claimed or is no longer valid.

How to redeem Wuthering Waves codes

Unlike the promos for other games such as 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Genshin Impact codes, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Honkai Star Rail codes, and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Zenless Zone Zero codes, there is currently no way to redeem Wuthering Waves codes online via the official website. Therefore you'll need to claim them directly through the game, however you can only redeem Wuthering Waves codes after defeating the first tutorial boss and reaching Union Level 2.

After progressing beyond that point, open the Terminal menu then select the Settings cog in the bottom right corner of the screen. Scroll down the list to the Other Settings option, marked with an icon of a wrench on top of a square, then under the Account heading is a Redemption Code 'Redeem' button which will let you enter your code. If you can't see this option then you haven't prog♚ressed far enough into the story yet, so keep pushing forward.

How to redeem Wuthering Waves codes through the inbox — (Image credit: Kuro Games)

After entering ✨a valid Wuthering Waves code through this route, you'll then need to head back to the main Terminal menu and select the mail icon at the bottom to access your inbox, where your rewards will have been delivered. Hit the 'Claim' button at the end of the mail and the items will be added to your inventory – these mails are currently set to automatically delete after 15 days, so make sure you go and claim your rewards promptly.

The top two codes were shared around online at launch, and could either have been fake or not activated as they've never worked. It's unclear if they were obtained from the game files, unreleased market🉐ing materials, or if somebody made them up. If a use for them is found in the future, then I will update this guide accordingly:

The playtest will let those involved sample a small amount of what's to come in Hades 2 ahead of the upcoming Early Acc♏ess launch, while hopefully ironing out any technical issues that may have slipped through initial testing. To find out what's happening and how you can sign up for a chance to get involved, here's everything you need to know about the Hades 2 playtest.

To sign up for the Hades 2 technical test, you need to visit the and click on the Request Access button under the "Join the Hades II Playtest" headi✱ng, after making sure you're logged in to your Steam account. You'll receive a notification confirming that your interest has been registered, however access to the technical test is not guaranteed. Supergiant will initially invite a subset of players to take part in the playtest, then will gradually roll out more invites as problems are identified and fixed. Note that you'll need to meet the following minimum PC requirements to take part in the technical test:

Operating System: Windows 10 64-bit (or Steam Deck)
Processor: Dual Core 2.4 Ghz
Memory: 4GB RAMF
Graphics: 2GB VRAM / DirectX 12+ support

For content creators, key requests are also open via the site, providing another potential route to access the technical test. How🧸ever, as with the Steam playtest sign ups, access cannot be guaranteed through this method either, so don't expect all requests to be honored.

How long will the Hades 2 technical test last?

Due to the fluid nature of the Hades 2 technical test, there isn't an official duration or end date confirmed for it. Howeve✃r, sign ups began on April 16 and Supergiant have estimated it will be "longer than a week, shorter than a month" before it concludes. If you don't receive access initially then all is not lost, as you may get invited further down the line – though the ultimate aim of the playtest is to test the game as quickly as possible with a relatively small group so that Hades 2 can then be launched into Early Access on Steam and Epic Games, where everyone will be able to purchase and play it.

This question, in my household, is as important as what'd you want for dinner, and as profound as what is the meaning of life? For my young five-and-a-half-year-old daughter and my three🌺-and-a-bit-year-old son, it's a tough one.✤ At the moment, they absolutely love both Minecraft and Fortnite Lego. It's hardly an easy pick for me either – I've dipped in and out of one for over a decade, and am currently besotted with the other.

"Mmmm," my daughter puzzles, befor𒈔e settling on Minecraft. I ask her why. "I want to find another amethyst ca🌳ve," she says. "Maybe this time we can find different colored caves too."

And so it is written. For the next hour or two we'll throw ourselves into the pixelated, block-built world of Minecraft, throwing up architecturally questionable shelters with incongruous materials (of course this single-dwelling bungalow needs a slime room, duh), and digging interminable underground tunnels in search of undi𒐪scovered rainbow-tinted gems.

Over the last few weeks, my kids and I have had a proper blast doing similar things in Fortnite Lego. But I just don't think this derivation of Epic Games' familiar sandbox will (or even can) come close to Minecraft's sense of wonder any time soon; nor do I think any other contender is capable of claiming the Eye of Ender-set crown. I love what I've seen of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Lego Fortnite so far, we've mucked around in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Roblox together in the past, and they've both peered over my shoulder as I've revisited my years-old saves in 🐲Terraria and Starbound at various points over the laꦕst few months. But there's something about Mojang and Microsoft's enduring building sim that's still, after all of these years, totally unique.

Block party

Kids enjoy Minecraft. Stop the presses, right? Of course they do – my oldest is in her first year of primary (elementary) school, and the playground is awash with bags, water bottles, pencil cases and more emblazoned with creepers and Steve and square-shaped pickaxes every single day. Sure, the fundamentals of Minecraft are easier for small hands to ♉get to grips with than pretty much every game in this space, but I'd also argue kids of this age weigh up their favorite games without preconceptions. They enjoy the game that's most fun, and whenever my kids and I play together, that fun is almost always inspired by discovery.

Full life

20 years later, Half-Life 2 Deathmatch still my favorite online multiplayer FPS of all time

Even in Creative Mode – where Mobs, Creepers, Spiders and everything else that goes bump in the night leaves you alone, items can be crafted in infinite supply, and you can literally fly around the map with the touch of a button – just being able to climb the highest mo♛untain, plumb the deepest ocean, and mine the darkest cave is a triumph in itself. I'm never not amazed by the sense of achievement my own kids visibly feel when making the most innocuous discoveries, and the sense of wonder that envelopes the whole experience.

The first time we returned to our little private server to find that the koi fish we'd built a pond for was still alive, for example, led to five full minutes of unbridled excitement. We were up in arms when a traveling salesman appeared to raid our basement full of gems, leaving an old rope in place of our loot (we left the hatch open); and we spent the best part of an hour building a diving board over a lake that reached high above the clouds grazing outer space itse🅘lf, giggling the entire time.

In contrast, while my kids love Fortnite Lego, and while I also appreciate it's not necessarily aimed at their age group, that sense of wonder in discovery clearly isn't universal. We have fun doing the same things in Fortnite's familiar Island setting, throwing up houses and decorating them with incongruous furnishings, but it's just not the same as Minecraft's underlying if you can see it you can explore it raison d'etre. Which isn't to shit on Fortnite Lego, or any sandbox world-bui꧙lding game more generally, it's more to hail the seemingly interminable appeal of✤ Minecraft.

And while I realize I'm waxing lyrical about a game that people felt this way about 13 years ago, myself included, the fact I'm rediscovering it with my children and feel exactly the same after so much time (and, evidently, as do they) speaks volumes for the timelessness of this game. Its blocky facade looked extremely dated in 2011, meaning it doesn't feel any worse for wear in 2024. In fact, I think I'm enjoying it even more than I did way b꧒ack when while also forging memories that'll last a lifetime. And that alone is enough to keep me coming back for more and more.

Lego Fortnite is the Animal Crossing replacement I never expected, but now I can't put it down.

Maybe the microtransactions seem excessive or overpriced. Perhaps people feel that a game doesn't update enough. Players might be invested in the evolving meta of a game they enjoy every day, leading them to criticize the direction of the game. It's unusual, then, that Epic Games has found itself with a totally different problem regarding Fortnite – fans are constantly irate over thꦕe item sh🌸op and the inability to spend more money.

Fortnite's item shop is a robust beast that dwarfs most item shops in the entire industry. Every day, the shop updates at the same time with a new slate of goods,ꦏ like skins and emotes. Like most games, Fortnite also has events and weekly challenges, which encourage players to log in regularly. Skins in particular might pop up in the item shop for a short period of time, only to be completely unavailable for purchase for over a year: if you missed it, you missed it. Anxiety over missing out is baked into Fortnite's bones, which is why social media accounts and⛦ websites theme themselves entirely around what's for sale that day. It's like Xur in Destiny, except way more intense.

This Pavlovian urge is hardly unique to me, judging by the chatter on social media any time the shop happens to slow down. titled "Since we haven't got good item shops in a while, which single skin do you really want?" got over three thousand upvotes from people listing dozens of different items they were pining over. This is but one example of many. "Anyone else getting sick of waiting ✱24 hours for the item shop to change to nothing new," posted a few days ago. The topic is so pervasive that in one thread, a user suggested that mods create a sticky topic that could contain th💜e seemingly daily discussions about the state of the item shop.

Window shopper

Fortnite play🔯ers label new Witcher content a "massive disappointment" after "barely noticeabl𒅌e recolor"

Typically, the shop shows off a wide variety of wares – but every so often, it'll only swap in a f🙈ew things. Specific segments, especially ones dedicated to real-world brands that have lent their IP to Epic Games, tend to stick around for longer. "When is Lady Gaga ever going to leave the item shop?" . In general, die൩hard fans have strong opinions about how well the shop rotates through Fortnite's enormous suite of items, . It's not that the UI is terrible: it's that people want a more robust selection of things to buy.

The people making Fortnite are only human, however, so the shop isn't always the digital equivalent of the Mall of America. Recently, for example, Fortnite has been gearing up to release a new season that will be live by the time you read this. Typically a new season transforms the entire game, complete with new points of interest, mechanics that could sustain th🍎eir own games, and a lengthy battle pass. Lately, and coincidentally, the shop hasn't been quite as diverse. My assumption is that a few outfits aren't the priority for the developer when it's putting the finishing touches on a massive content update, and that's doubly true when said conten♍t is having server issues.

Yet if we're being realistic, during these slower periods, Fortnite is still likely rotating in more new things than most AAA games. To wit, one player who kept tabs on what the shop put out noted that compared to otꦏher recent seasons. Despite this, the same thread still declared that the item shop selection overall was "bad." Some of this displeasure has to do with what the skins actually are – just because it's new doesn't mean it's good. Lego versions of some skins, for exa๊mple, often fail to capture elements that make the full skin compelling in the first place.

People also have strong opinions about skins, particularly when it comes to meme ones, or characters that are a near-constant, like Peely. Still, when you consider that you can only wear one skin at a time during a game, what we're looking at is frustration that people can't expand their digital toybox. I say this as 🧸someone who is also cursed with an obsession with the iteꦓm shop, to the degree that I'll load the game up every day regardless of whether or not I'm getting in a match. What if there's something really cool in there, I'll say, knowing that I don't even use 80% of what I buy.

"I remember when the BR first🃏 launched and if you saw any🐈one who wasn't wearing a default skin, you'd kind of think they were tryhards"

But if that's the case, why so much uproar over the inability to spend money on items that aren't even real? While there are likely many things at play here, one of the most obvious culprits is peer pressure. Fortnite is a hugely social game, and it's fun to show off your fashion sense when you cobble a variety of items together. Epic also puts a lot of effort into making the cosmetics unique and eye-catching. Some emotes will let a buddy join in, even if they don't own it – so you can do a handshake, pretend to play in a band, or jump into a chess match. Skins are reactive, and can sometimes change depending on how many kills you get. Some emotes even let you pull out entire vehicles that you can ride for a few moments. I'm constantly astounded at what Fortnite comes up with, which makes the pre-game lobby a joy to experience. Even after hundreds of hours, I'm still constantly seeing thing🎶s that wow me and inevitably spark envy.

"I remember when the BR first launched and if you saw anyone who wasn'🍸t wearing🎃 a default skin, you'd kind of think they were tryhards (aka a sweat) and they even got kind of targeted specifically," wrote one Redditor, , on a thread that asked fans why they care so deeply about the item shop. The user went on to point out that many younger players have grown up in an era where microtransactions are normalized, whereas older players remember a time before TF2 hats.

But now? Kids straight up get bullied by their peers (I once wrote about this very subject for ) if they're not keepౠing up appearances in Fortnite. Default skins are vastly outnumbered by glossier and more sophisticated characters. "It's changed a lot," the same Redditor wrote.🅘

Thanks to the recent addition of Mortal Kombat 1 Krossplay, players can now connect across PS5, Xbox Series X and S, and PC on both Steam and Epic Games Store. However, due to issues with the port and onlineཧ lag, crossplay will not be extended to the Switch version of the game, so those usi♚ng Nintendo's handheld won't be joining the general pool of players.

By using cros♔splay in Mortal Kombat 1, players on supported platforms will be able to matchmake across various modes including 1v1 fights, Kombat League, kasual matches, and private matches, as well as being able to view leaderboards across platforms. After the Krossplay update, you'll be able to activate this setting as by default it is turned off – to do this, visit the Online section of th🀅e Settings menu then toggle the Enable Krossplay option at the top.

Being able to find them is important, as the locations feature in several quests linked to the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Fortnite Winterfest event, and there's also a separate Ship It Express LTM you need to play to tick off one of the Festive assignments. For details on how to acc🉐ess that limited time mode, and where to find the Ship It Express locations in Fortnite, read on.

Ship It Express locations in Fortnite

There are currently three Ship It Express locations in Fortnite, which I've marked on the map abov♏e. They can be fo🐻und at:

Ritzy Riviera
Ship It Station (east of Pleasant Piazza)
Hazy Hillside

At Ritzy Riviera and Hazy Hillside these are small shops found within the named location, while Ship It Station to the east of Pleasant Piazza is a separate landmark comprising of a larger warehouse. There you'll also find Holiday Boxy, one of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Fortnite characters, who sells the Snowball Launcher which is a useful weapon to have for ticking off other challenges. Initially you just need to visit one of these Ship It Express locations to beat a Snaps🅘hot quest, but this is followed up by investigating three stolen present stashes that can🔜 also be found at these locations among other places around the island.

The Fortnite Ship It Express LTM can be accessed from the main lobby screen, either by scrolling along the top row of modes or the By Epic row underneath. This is a rather chaotic Zero Build limited time mode for squads of up to four players, where the emphasis is heavily placed on thrown items such as Clingers, Firefly Jars, and Stink Bombs among many others. The usual battle royale rules apply, so if you're eliminated then your squad has the opportunity to reboot you, and the last team standing wins. Deal 300 damage to enemy players with thrown items in the Ship It Express LTM, and you&a🧸pos;ll have cleared another quest from your list.

Some might be wondering who the best Villagers in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Lego Fortnite are, but that's a more nuanced question than a simple tier list, not to mention one that people are still𒅌 trying to work out even as we speak - so with clearly a lot to cover, we'll explain everything you need to know about Lego Fortnite Villagers here, including how to get them, how to give them jobs, how to get them to leave, and the full list of who can be found and invited.

Lego Fortnite Villagers explained

Villagers in Lego Fortnite are random NPCs who will show u🌸p to your village temporarily, but can be invited to stay permanently and become residents, whereupon they'll defend it from monsters and can be given jobs to help out. Here are some useful facts about Villagers in Lego Fortnite toꩲ keep in mind, a quick appraisal before we move onto the details:

A village can only have a limited number of Villagers living in it (this number is increased with village upgrades).
Villagers do not need food or water - only a bed to sleep in.
Villagers can be killed, but only temporarily - if slain, they respawn back at their bed like you do!
Villagers can perform any task or job you give them, but some are better at certain roles. They also might need certain utility constructions, depending on the job (for example, you can't ask one to saw wood if there's no Lumber Mill built).
Villagers will pause whatever they're doing to attack nearby enemies if one gets too close to them.

That'𓂃s a very summary explanation, so let's get into the nitty-gritty about populating your settlement.

How to get Villagers in Lego Fortnite

You can get Villagers in Lego Fortnite by taking the🌺se steps:

Build a Village Square (Wood x10 and Granite x10) to make a Village Settlement.
Build at least one spare bed, not including the one you sleep in. All Villagers need a bed and can't be invited without one spare.
Every now and then an NPC should show up close to the Village Square, either wandering over or teleporting in.
Talk to them once to introduce yourself, then again and click "Live in my village!"
At this point they will either accept and become a Villager, or turn you down and explain why.

Villagers might turn you down for a number of reasons, ranging from not having a spare bed (which can be easily and quickly solved), to your Village being too low a level for them and needing to be upgraded, to simply not having enough nice things built around - it depends on the Villager. Whatever the case, you usually have a night or two to solve whatever problem they have before they leave again - they might come back at some point later, but it's completely random. Many prospective Villagers show up 💟long bef﷽ore you have the resources or village upgrades to allow them in, which is just the game teasing you with what might've been.

Villagers in Lego Fortnite can be given jobs by talking to them and selecting "Let's Talk Jobs", whereupon they will perform whatever task y𝄹ou choose for them in the background.

They might need some specific equipment built (i.e., you can't make them farm without having built a farm for them to manage), but from that point on they can handle it themselves and leave you to do other stuff, whether it's collecting local materials, refining materials into better resources, farming or more besides. They'll usually make a suggestion about what they're best at when you speak to them, but Villagers can perform any role you tell them to well enough. Come back after a while and speak to them again, and they&ap꧒os;ll ha𝓰nd over whatever they've found or made while you were gone.

If you want to change their jobs, simply talk to them and select "Let's Talk Jobs"🐠 again - you'll be able to reassign them accordingly.

Villagers will also randomly give gifts to the player if you talk to them from 𝄹time to time - these gifts will improve in quality and rarity as you upgrade the Village they occupy.

Full Lego Fortnite Villagers List

From available information right now, the full list of Villagers in Lego Fortnite right now includes the following characters (we will update if more become known, as not all are equally common, with famous Fortnite characters like Fishstick and Meowscles usually being a lot rarer):

Aura
Beef Boss
Blackheart
Blue Squire
Brite Bomber (Tutorial Character)
Calamity
Carl Reef
Cuddle Team Leader
Crystal
Dana
Fishstick
Flint
Frozen Fishstick
Gus
Hayseed
Lionbrand
Mazy
Meowscles
Nugget
Oro
Otis
Peely
Petra

Polar Peely

Ravage
Raven
Rex
Roan
Robin
Rustler
Sawyer
Sally Sails
Salty
Silas
Skye
Slush
Snow Cap
Sparkplug
Sprocket
Sunflower
Tabby
Tricera Ops
Yeti

Despite the wide range of characters available, it's with reiterating that they're not all equally rare - nor can you have them all at the same village, as even when fully upgraded, a village can only have six Villagers occupying it.

Best Villagers in Lego Fortnite

Right now people are wondering: with so many to choose from, which are the best Villagers in Lego Fortnite? And the honest answer is that if you don't care about rarity, it's less about who is "best" and more "what are they best at." When you speak to a Villager, they'll tell you what their specialty is - building, crafting, treasure hunting, cooking, etc. That's the job they'll do better than average, but frankl🐈y, we've yet to see that mak✱e a massive difference.

For the best result, we suggest working out ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚwhat you don't want 🍸to spend much time doing - mining, farming, or so on - and hiring Villagers that are best at those things to do it in your absence.

How to make Villagers leave the village

If there's a Vil🍃lager♏ you're sick of, here's how you can make them leave the Village:

Find their assigned bed and destroy it, giving them nowhere to sleep.
Go back to the Villager and talk to them. They'll express annoyance that their bed is gone, and say that if it's not put back in a certain amount of time, they'll leave.
Do not put that bed back.

Without this method, there's no way of getting rid of them - admittedly, it's slower than ♍we'd prefer, as some of them will spend days waiting for you to put the bed back before they get bored and leave, but it's the only known method right now.

Amber serves as a vital material for making certain utility devices and acquiring specific upgrades, with helpful crafting attached to both its forms in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Lego Fortnite. We'll cover how you can get both Rough Amber and Cut Amber below in Lego Fortnite, where you need to look and what ma💟chinery you'll ne🅠ed to process it.

How to get Amber in Lego Fortnite

Rough Amber in Lego Fortnite is located in Dry Valley biomes - the desert regions of the game. ꦰSpecifically, you're looking for the gold, glassy rocks that stick out the side of cliffs and mountains, as shown above.

Once you find Amber, you can mine it using an Uncommon (Green) Pickaxe or better, made from the second tier of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Lego Fo𝕴rtnite Crafting Bench upgrade tree. You can also use explosives, or, if you can somehow work it out, have a Brute or Roller hit the Amber with an attack - though considering it's pretty high up, that's not easy. Amber also tends to really wear through the pickaxes you bring, so you might need to take more than one🐽 ♓with you, and considering how high up it tends to be, try bringing some regular wood to build basic stairs up to it.

Cut Amber

Once you have Rough Amber, you can make it into Cut Amber by placing it into a Gem Cutter, a special utility device you can build back at your camp. The G😼em Cutter recipe should unlock when you pick up Rough Amber for the first time, and that makes sense, considering it needs the following to construct it:

Marble Slabs x20. Place Marble in a Stone Crusher
Rough Amber x5. See above.
Sand Claws x5. Dropped by the more powerful Desert Wolves when killed.
Sand Shells x3. Dropped by the more powerful Desert Rollers when killed.

Once you have the Gem Cutter built, y𝔉ou'll be able to process Rough Amber and other൲ expensive minerals through it to get their Cut versions, prime for crafting.

To find Lego Fortnite Marble, you'll need to search around your game world until you locate a cave – rather than searching in the side ꦉof hills or cliffs, you want to look for a separate huge rock coming out of the ground. You'll only need to do this hunt once, however, as a cave icon will then be put on your map so you can find it again in the future. Approach the entrance and interact with it to travel down into the underground depths.

How to get Marble in Lego Fortnite

Inside the cave, you can get Marble in Lego Fortnite by breaking down the light-colored rocks emerging from the walls, as shown in the image above. In order to harvest this resource, you will need an Uncommon Pickaxe to crack through it as the common pickaxe simply bounces off and leaves it unscathed. To get that tool you'll have to use a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Fortnite Lego𒉰 Crafting Bench upgrade so you can construct it, as well as some 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Lego Fortnite Knotroot to refine on a Lumb☂er Mill to get the relevant materials – as that is also found in caves, you may be paying several visits to these underground lairs to complete the process.

However, it's a lot rarer than the standard kind of wood you've probably been finding, and requires special tools to harvest - so with that in mind, here's how to get Knotroot i✃n Lego Fortnite so you can level up your crafting.

To find Lego Fortnite Knotroot, you need to discover a cave in your game world. From the outside, caves look like a giant rock emerging from the ground, and if you walk around it then you'll find an entraꦇnce you c✅an interact with to be teleported into the underground cave. Once you've found a cave, an icon will be added to your map so you can easily return to it later and gather more resources when you need them.

Mining Knotroot

Once you're inside a cave, you can get Knotroot in Lego Fortnite by harvesting the twisted roots you'll find growing out of the sides of the cavern. However, to do this you'll need an Uncommon Forest Axe to chop through the gnarled roots as a common axe won't cut it – pun intended. Those improved items can only be made following a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Fortnite Lego Crafti🙈ng Bench upgrade, so you'll need to put in some preparation first to get the right tool for the job. Once you're armed with a suitable axe, simple hack aꦦway at the roots until they're destroyed and a supply of Knotroot will be yours.

Flexwood is very useful for making some of the better, rarer materials, but while it's not easy to get, there's methods for doing so that mean you don't have to get the Rare Axe to harvest it - something you'd normally need. Here&a🦋pos;s how to get Flexwood in Lego Fortnite, and all t♈he ways you can harvest it accordingly.

How to get Flexwood in Lego Fortnite

Flexwood in Lego Fortnite is dropped by any Cactus in the Dry Valley (aka, the desert) biome. If you can destroy the cactus, it should drop Flexwood that you can pick up and use - a material that looks like a 💝blue-tinted version of the standard logs you normally get when punching trees.

To harvest Flexwood, you'd normally need a Rare Axe to cut the cactus, which you can get from the second 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Lego 🎉Fortnite Crafting Bench upgrade, but there are other methods to procure it. If you can get any explosives, such as 😼a Boom Barrel, those will destro🦹y cacti - and anything else nearby.

However, there's another, easier, though arguably riskier method: have an enemy destroy it! A Roller crashing into a cactus or a Brute punching through it will destroy it instantly! Of course, you have to then bolt out of the way to ensure you're not hit by the same attack, but it will obliterate the cactus in the process. In fact, this process works for all trees and resources - something to keepཧ in mind as you play!

Once you have that, you'll start unlocking better tools, like uncommon pickaxes and axes, but you'll also have another goal, with further upgrades that require rare materials found across 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Lego Fortnite. With that in mind, we'll cover how to upgrade the Crafting Ben👍ch in Lego Fortnite below, including how to find the resources needed and what you get for ༺doing so.

Lego Fortnite Crafting Bench upgrade materials location

The first upgrade for the Crafting Bench in Lego Fortnite requires 3 Shells and 8 Planks, which you can get by doing the following:

Shells: Kill Rollers, the little ball-shaped bugs that pop out of the ground. Try making swords or using tools to do more damage to them.
Planks: Put Wood inside a Lumber Mill to convert it into Planks. You can build a Lumber Mill from the build menu using Wood and Granite.

Once you have all of them, take them back to your Crafting Bench𓃲 and switch to the right-hand tab at the top of the Bench's menu to input the materials and upgrade it into an Uncomꩵmon Crafting Bench!

There are three tiers of Crafting Bench upgrade in total, not including the "base" default model, each one of which unlocks a new tier of Axe and Pickaxe for you to craft, as well as new weapons, cha🔯rms and totems. Here's all three tiers and what you need to make them, as well as where to find thoღse resources:

Tier 2 Crafting Bench (Uncommon)
- Plank x8. Place Wood in a Lumber Mill.
- Shell x3. Kill Rollers.
Tier 3 Crafting Bench (Rare)
- Knotroot Rod x12. Place Knotroot Wood in a L+umber Mill.
- Marble Slab x15. Place Marble in a Stone Breaker.
- Sand Claw x6. Kill Desert Wolves.
- Sand Shell x3. Kill Desert Rollers.
Tier 4 Crafting Bench (Epic)
- Copper Bar x15. Mine Copper and Brightcore in Desert/Lava Caves using a Rare Pickaxe and place in a Metal Smelter.
- Obsidian Slab x25. Mine purple/black Obsidian in Desert/Lava Caves using a Rare Pickaxe and place in a Stone Breaker.
- Brute Scale x1. Kill a Brute (the large Golem-like enemy) from the Grasslands.

At this point the Crafting Benc🔴h should be as upgraded as it can be, capable of building any tier of tool or weapon associated with it (assuming yo𓆏u have the materials at hand).

Whether you're building a settlement, exploring for resources, and crafting new structures in Lego Odyssey, or trying out different careers and meeting new people in the social roleplaying lifestyle sim 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Lego Fortnite Brick Life, these games are always betℱter with a friend at your side. If you're planning a couch co-op session, then here's what you need to know about setting up local Lego Fortnite splitscr𓂃een mode.

Lego Fortnite Splitscreen — (Image credit: Epic Games)

Is there Splitscreen in Lego Fortnite?

When it first launched, there was no splitscreen or couch co-op mode available in Lego Fortnite, so if you wanted to play in co-op then you had to connect two systems via the internet. However, that has changed as of October 2024 and Lego Fortnite now has a splitscreen or couch co-op mode available, so y🎃ou ca🍨n play locally with a friend using only one device.

Thankfully, Lego Fortnite splitscreen is also relatively easy to set up, as you just need to choose an experience that supports it – look for the label that says '1-2 Local Players' above the Select button. Once the first player is in, connect the second controller then choose a profile to log in – note that the second player will need their own Epic Games account, linked to a PlayStation, Xbox, or Nintendo account if playing on console, as Fortnite in general does not support guest accounts in any game modes.

Once both players are connected to Lego Fortnite splitscreen, you'll see a prompt at the bottom of the lobby screen for Player 2 to Take Control, so they can access their own locker to change outfits, check their progress through the current 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Fortnite quests, and anything else they need to do. When you're all set, hit the READY! prompt and🅠 you'll be taken to your chosen experience, with the screen split horizontally so you can work together or go and do your own thing.

This year alone, the likes of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Baldur's Gate 3, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Alan Wake 2, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Marvel's Spider-Man 2, and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The ൩Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom have showcased the very best in video game narratives, across a wide range of platforms, genres and storytelling methods. With the utmost respect to more traditional forms of media – film, TV, books, and radio, for example – video games are, without laboring an obvious point, unique in their scope for storytelling, simply because they put you into the protagonist's shoes; wherein their stories cannot progress without your input.

Tales of Kenzera: Zau not only epitomizes all of the above, but it is a story unto itself. It's the debut video game project of Surgent Studios, a transmedia outfit founded by actor Abubakar Salim, whose name you may recognise among the credits in everything from Sky One series Jamestown, to HBO Max's Raised by Wolves, Ridley Scott's historical blockbuster Napoleon, and Charlie Brooker's Black Mirror. If you played 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Assassin's Creed Origins, you'll know 🌠Salim as lead character Bayek of Siwa, a role that bagged him a BAFTA Breakthrough Brit award, and ultimately inspired him to form his own development studio and create his first video gam൩e.

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Game Awards 2023 e𒈔ve﷽rything announced

That game is Tales of Kenzera: Zau – and if you've ever experienced grief, or know someone who has, and are likewise interested in video games with a story to tell, then it should be on your radar. Although weaving its own heartfelt fable, Tales of Kenzera: Zau is inspired by the untimely death of Salim's father, and, as a lifelong video game player himself, the only genre Salim felt could do his story jꦇustice was Metroidvania.

"I think because of what I was aiming to do, what I wanted to build with Zau, people got it," says Salim. "For me, it's no✱t just about creating a fu💙n and beautiful experience that people can play and feel the kinetic energy of it all, but also be able to give a new perspective in looking at grief. I mean, it is sad. And there is a weight to it. But it's also messy, it's chaotic; you can have some days where you feel completely happy, and then the next day hits you. That's the kind of experience I wanted to share."

"With that in mind, Zau is a Metroidvania, and th🎀at was always important to me because it's a perfect genre to explain grief, right? You take a character, you throw them into a world they have no idea about. They have to learn abo꧟ut everything, essentially, as they go along, going back and forth, through areas and elements, gaining the tools that the world provides, and they have to, somehow, make sense of it. In reality, you can never get over grief, it will always be challenging, and I think this genre speaks to that so well."

Seminal storytelling

Tales of Kenzera: Zau — (Image credit: Surgent Studios)

"I very much come from a background of stoic men, so the idea of sharin🐭g that moment with my dad, and 💜feeling that we were both enjoying and connecting – that was beautiful."

A self-confessed "massive fan" of Garry&apos🅷;s Mod, Salim says he still speaks to friends from the game's community today, and likewise cherishes still-active𝄹 friendships forged during his formative years in World of Warcraft. Storytelling has always been a driving force for Salim, and he credits playing video games from a young age for strengthening his desire to tell stories in his work.

These qualities, Salim reckons, were first instilled by virtue of pass-the-pad sessions with his father in the '90s, playing the earliest Sonic the Hedgehog games on the Sega Mega Drive (Genesis, for those reading Stateside), and cherishing 𝕴a sense of closeness in these thoughtful moments that would stay with him forever. "I very much come from a background of stoic men," Salim says, "so the idea of sharing that moment with him, and feeling that we were both enjoying and connecting – that was beautiful."

That sentiment is directly reflected in Tales of Kenzera: Zau, whose narrative explores the love between a father and son, and the transformative power of loss. Filling the shoes of the eponymous Zau, you assume the grief of the protagonist while embarking on their quest for spiritual healing – across gorgeous, mystical 2.5D realms, while flirting with the ungoverned cosmic powers of the warrior shaman. As revealed at The Game Awards, Tales of Kenzera: Zau is on course for an April 23, 2024 release date – on PS5, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Xbox Series X and S, PC (via Steam and the Epic Games Store), and Nintendo Switch – which Salim says is hugely exciting for 🍷him and h♑is family.

"I do think there's sometimes an expectation for men in larger families to soldier on when bad things happen," says Salim. "It's that sense of stoicism, you know, this thing happened, now soldier on. It's the whole 'keep calm and carry on' thing, right? But when I told my family what I was doing they were like: 'Yeah, good on you'. They understood this was my 𝓀way of processing things, and my formula for dealing with it."

"With my mum, she didn't understand it to begin with. And then I showed her the early parts of the trailer, and I explained that the game is going to be in Swahili, it brought her to tears. She could see that my dad was at the center of everything, and through that she's being respected and seen. I don't think you can ever get over or even accept grief, you just learn to deal with it."

"When I started this process, I asked myself: what would I give to bring my dad back? Like, what would I sacrifice? I didn't have the answer. And I still don't, but, actually, I'm kind of alright with it. Because if it wasn't for him passing away, I wouldn't be where I am today. I wouldn't have formed the studio, I wouldn't have a baby, I wouldn't have the family that I love to 𒁏bits, and I wouldn't be in the position or have the perspective that I do today. It's almost like I wouldn't, or even couldn't, give that up for that moment. Because again, that's the poin🦹t of it, right? You grow and you do everything you can to move on."

Throughout our conversation, the thing that impresses me most about Salim is his openness to explore the themes and emotion driving this clearly defined passion project. Assuming that passion transfers into Tales of Kenzera: Zau itself – and I have no reason to believe otherwise – then it's likely to be something pretty special, both as a Metroidvania video game, and an interactive and persuasive exploration of such a universal and sensitive subject. My last question for Salim, then, is a simple one: What would his father say if he could see him now?

"Why didn't you write a book instead?" he says, between bouts of laughter. "I think he would be proud. Not just because of the accomplishment of mak💎ing this game, but mainly because I'm using what he gave me from a very young age to essentially share something that I love – which is telling stories."

Lots of players are trying to visit it as it's chock-full of suppl♏ies, with at least nine chests to search in addition to plenty of floor loot – and a cute little surprise at the end toꩲo. If you want to track down this subterranean bonanza, then here's where to find the Secret Cave in Fortnite.

Where is the Secret Cave in Fortnite?

The Secret Cave in Fortnite can be found in the area marked on the map above, on the far east coast of the island and to the southeast of Grand Glacier. If you land a little to the west of the marked area up the mountainside, you'll find a small research hut at the bottom of a zipline with no fewer than eleven Slurp Barrels inside, which is more than enough to boost you to full Shields. You can then head east and slide down the slope to reach the bay below, whe♍💛re you'll find the entrance to the Fortnite Secret Cave.

What's in the Fortnite Secret Cave?

The entrance to the Fortnite Secret Cave — (Image credit: Epic Games)

When you first enter the Fortnite Secret Cave, you'll find yourself in an initial area with three chests to open, and if you crouch then follow the tunnel ahead you'll find another che๊st. This may look like the end of the line, but if you destroy the chest you can continue into the next area with two more chests to raid. The path beyond this appears to lead to a dead end, but if you break through the sturdy rock blocking your route forward there then you can swim through a gap into the final area of the Secret Cave in Fortnite.

The Secret Cave in Fortnite opens up for this last section, providing three more chests to open along with plenty of floor loot, and even a crop of shield mushrooms growing under the trees. If you listen then you'll hear the calypso music of the Coral Buddies, and you can find thꦯese returning cute creatures on the small central island or the little ship floating nearby.

One thing to note is that the Portapotty found in the corner cannot be interacted with and does not connect up to a hidden escape tunnel, so you'll need to exit the Fortnite Secret Cave via the same route you entered – make sure you have enough ✃time to get out that way before the Storm Circle traps you inside!

Even better, the chaotic sitcom dad entered the game with a short film that’s ani🌜mated in the style of the show.

Viewer꧑s might notice that Peter has a significantly different, erm, silhouette in Epic Game’s evergreen battle royale - in other words, he looks like he’s been hitting the gym. The character’s redesign is probably a byproduct of balancing the game, though, since Peter’s original build would have had an unfairly large hitbox. Either way, the new hulky Peter is hilarious🌜 to behold and a new clip tries to explain the transformation.

In the short film,ꦜ Peter’s seemingly aware that he’s invited on the Battle Bus, so he does the only thing that makes sense: seek out fitness advice from a 🍃cartoon cat doctor. Not the well-read type, Peter refuses books on “How To Get Swole In 30 Days” and instead opts for expired “Slurp Juice” for a boost. Find the full short embedded below.

Those who love TV’♚s worst dad can sleep peacefully since Peter also bought some goodies from the show, most notably his glider variant, The Petercopter, which is simply a blue helicopter modeled after his face. And, as faithful fans have pointed out online, there’s already a precedent for Swole Peter in the source material.

Epic Games teased the throwback event on Twitter: “Sprint (or Mantle, your choice) back to Chapter 1… see you soon.” The accompanying battle bus image lists Novem꧂ber 3 as tꦫhe update’s launch date, together with “#FortniteOG” - seemingly teasing the return of the battle royale game’s original map.

Rumors about the map’s return have been circulating for some time now, with Epic boss Mark Rein just yesterday: “My word for the next season of [Fortnite] is: rewind!” A tease that has all the subtlety of a sledgehammer raining down on bricks. As our 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Fortnite Season 5🍎 guide ex♏plains, the update has been leaked and speculated about for a while now.

Epic is seemingly trying to recapture the game’s glory days - back when the building-defense hybrid had just transformed into the mammoth battle royale that it is today. Popular streamers have also been clued into the new (ol💮d?) chapter. The “OG Squad” that consists of Ninja, TimtheTatman, CourageJD, and DRLupo all posed together in a social media post yesterday, before ꦬEpic’s official announcement, saying “The return of Fortnite Chapter 1 means only one thing…”

The return to the eꦅarly days is supposedly being facilitated by some timey-wimey in-universe shenanigans, although I’m interested in seeing if any other older maps are rotated into the game. Perhaps there can be a kind of ‘Fortnite over the years’ theme. I’m guessing that classic cosmetics might return via the battle pass, too, but that’s just speculation.

Epic Games recently made headlines for 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:laying off 830 employees due to missed profit targets. While that didn’t push back plans for Fortnite, the company said that🌊 some projects “may not ship when planned because they are under-resourced for the time being.” Though the company still plans on chasing a meta♛verse future.

Here’s how to complete 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Fortnite quests in Season 4 Chapter 4.

"Both of our expansions tell new stories and offer exciting gameplay within Alan Wake 2," the game's explains. The first expansion, called Night Springs, revolves around the titula𒅌r in-universe TV show that acts as an overt homage to The Twilight Zone. The expansion casts us as "several familiar characters" to "experience the unexplainable in multiple self-contained episodes." The Dark Presence in Alan Wake uses fiction to rewrite reality, so some of the show's spooky elements may begin to cause havoc outside the telly box screens.

The Lake House expansion will come sometime after the first and has some obvious references to Remedy's last game, Control, which makes sense considering both are in the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Remedy Connected Universe. "The Lake House is a mysterious facility situated on the shores of Cauldron Lake 𒆙set up by an independent government organization to conduct secret res🐈earch," reads the description.

In-game notes from Control the Lake House facility - owned and run by the Federal Bureau Of Control - and the 2019 shooter received its own Alan Wake-themed expansion, too. All things considered, the second🐭 expansion will likely connect the two games even further, although we'll still be playing as Alan and Saga in "two separate adventures."

Both expansions will be on sale separately and are also bundled together in the Expansion Pass. Deluxe Edition owners will also gain access to the two e𝓡xpansions, along with a few cosmetic items.

Remedy Entertainment has also planned some free post-launch additions, including a photo mode for snapping the gorgeous cultish scenery, a tough Nightmare difficulty option, and a funky New Game Plus mode called The Final Draft. The game's New Ga🔴me Plus will let you keep all your gear and upgrades, but it'll also unlo🅠ck a "new alternative narrative, including new Manuscript pages and new video content."

Our five-star 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Alan Wake 2 review called it an "imaginative and truly ambitious sequel." You might want to see our 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:beginner tips before getting lost in the dark, though.

Therefore at the time of writing you can't select any of the ranked modes, as the option has been removed from the menu until the issue can be resolved. You should also be aware that as part of Ranked Season Zero, all players' ranks have been reset following the v25.10 update released today, so once this mode is available again you may find you're at a different level to the one you were before🦋. If you want to know how this all works when it's up and running, then here's a full expla✅nation of Ranked play in Fortnite.

To play ranked matches in Fortnite, you need to follow the prompt on the lobby screen that we've highlighted above to turn on the Ranked option. Fortnite Ranked is open to all players, however if you're joining the battle royale with an Epic account that hasn't accessed Fortnite before then a special Outlast 500 opponents quests will appear, which needs to be completed before you can enable ranked matches.

Ranked play is currently available in Solo, Duos, Trios, and Squads, in both Battle Royale and Zero Build. In Solo you'll matchmake against opponents of similar rank, while in Duos, Trios, or Squads your team has a party rank equal to the highest-ranked member of the team, and you'll matchmake against teams of similar party rank. Balan♛cing changes will be made as Ranked Season Zero progresses, but the following changes are currently in place:

Material harvesting rates are increased slightly
Material inventories are capped at 500 instead of 999
Players drop 50 of each material when eliminated

What are the different Fortnite Ranks?

There are a total of 18 Fortnite Ranks available, and when you first join Fortnite Ranked you'll need to complete a match to reveal your initial ranking, based on your past performance as well as the outcome of that first match. That initial ranꦡking will apply across both Battle Royale and Zero Build, though from then onwards the two will be ranked individually. You'll progress through th💛e ranks as follows, with a percentage displayed against your current rank to show how close you are to moving up to the next level:

Bronze (I, II, III)
Silver (I, II, III)
Gold (I, II, III)
Platinum (I, II, III)
Diamond (I, II, III)
Elite
Champion
Unreal

The amount your Fortnite Rank increases (or decreases) in each match is determined by your final placement and the eliminations you get, with later match eliminations carrying more weightꦚ than earlier ones, and are also weighted by the ranks of the opponents you ܫeliminate. For teams, all members will gain or lose the same amount of ranking progress no matter what individual actions are made.

Once you get to Elite rank, you'll be matched against other high-ranking players to fight for the right to advance to Champion level, then ascend to Unreal. If you reach Unreal rank, then you'll remain there for the rest of the ranked season no 𒐪matter what happens – however, you'll then get a number to show your global rank among Unreal players, and you can track who are the best players in the world by visiting the official .

What rewards are available for completing Fortnite Ranked Urgent Quests?

At the start of each Fortnit💫e Ranked match, you'll get a Ranked Urgent Quest pop up on your screen, which will then continue to be displayed in the top left corner. This quest is only valid for the current match in progress, so if you don't manage to complete it then it'll disappear and you'll be assigned a new Ranked Urgent Quest at the beginning of your next match.

There are a total of 11 Fortnite Ranked rewards available duri♔ng Ranked Season Z🍸ero, which are as follows:

Complete 5 Ranked Urgent Quests: Get In The Ring loading screen
Complete 10 Ranked Urgent Quests: Trophy banner icon
Complete 15 Ranked Urgent Quests: GG Gnarly emoticon

Paradox announced on June 17 that the would-be Sims 4 rival is 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:officially no longer in development, sad news for all who had been waiting patiently through a litany of delays over the past 12 months. The game had been deleyed again just 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:weeks before its cancelation, but despite all of the warning signs that all was not well at Paradox Tectonic, it&apos🦄;s still a bitter pill to swallow.

Wondering what went wrong? Here's everything we know about Life by You's unfortunate cancelation, from the official announcement to its fraught hi🌳story of postponements.

Is Life by You canceled?

, saying: "Sadly, we’ve decided to cancel the release of 👍our long-awaited life sim Life by You. This was an incredibly difficult call to make and is a clear failure on Paradox’s part to meet both our own and the community's expectations."

Life by You delays

Before its cancelation, Life By You had been delayed three times. The last announcement was made on the by Paradox Interactive CEO Mattias Lilja, who expressed thanks for th🌃e continued support from the community. "This was not an easy decision, especially sinc🐭e we understand the anticipation and excitement that many players have for the game. However, we believe that additional development time is needed," Lilja wrote.

Unlike with past delays, a new Life By You target release window was not given by Paradox at this time. "While we would have preferred to commit to a new release window, we believe it is more prudent to ꦛhold off while we plan ahead, rather than committing to a new date that we cannot be certain to meet."

This delay came off the back of one earlier this year that saw Life by You 澳洲💦幸运5开奖号码历史查询:pushed from a March 5 to June 4 release date. The game was intended to launch into Early Access last year on September 12, 2023, but it was delayed so t♔hat the development team could focus on new features and ꦯvisual improvements.

Life by You trailer

The first Life by You𒁃 announcement trailer (which you can watch above) that dropped during the showcase gave us our first proper look at the open-world setting and how we can control anyone at any time. It also shows off some of the interactions controllable humans can have along with insight into customization, character creation, and much more. A lot of the features do share similarities with The Sims;🅺 the more open feel and use of vehicles to get around (hello skateboards!) brings to mind The Sims 3.

The Entropy Centre: Level Editor Update, as the name suggests, will introduce a new editing suite allowing players on PC the chance to design and build their own levels before sharing them with the rest of the community. The update, which will drop on March 30, will let be available on PC whether you're playing via Steam, GOG, or the Epic Games Store.

Better yet, you can enter a competition to be credited in-game as thಌe 'world's best puzzle creator'💖 by joining chat.

PlayStation and Xbox players will also be getting an update, but it'll be a little different. The alternatively-named Community Level Upda💯te will give console fans access to all of the community content crafted on PC, but building won't be available on console.

Released in November 2022, The Entropy Centre tasks you with using a special (and adorable) weapon to move objects backwards and forwards in time in an attempt to save the world from an extinction-level event. There's an obvious Portal vibe to proceedings, from the unique gun to the sanitised, scientifi♈c proceedings, and this new update is also reminiscent of the dedicated modding scene that Valve's games have benefitted from over the years. All that said, your AI companion Astra is a little nicer to be around than Glados.

Boasting 'very positive' reviews on (where you can download a demo to try the game out for free),🍸 The Entropy Centre is also available on PS5, PS4, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.

We'll explain how you can acces♓s this and how to play Fortnite Creative 2.0 for yourself - if "play" is really the word we're looking for here.

How to play Fortnite Creative 2.0 and the UEFN

Fortnite Creative 2.0 and the Public Beta of the Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN) are both live and part of Fortnite itself now, as a part and parcel of the 🦩game's weekly up💯date.

However, it is currently only for PC players. Players on any console can play creations made in Fortnite Creative 2.0, by going into the Discover tab and looking for them with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Fortnite Creative codes as normal, but only players on PC can use these new tools. If you are a PC player, here's how to get it up and running:

1. Open the Epic Games Launcher app.

2. Select "Library" in the menu in the sidebar.

3. Select "Unreal Editor for Fortnite"

4. Click launch.

5. Once the UEFN has loaded, close the Newꦬs popup that… er, pops up.

6. Sele❀ct a project from the project browser, or💛 "Create a New Project" to begin editing.

What is Fortnite Creative 2.0?

Fortnite Creative 2.0 is an enhanced version of the island and level editor that was already part of the game, this time incorporating more advanced tools for level creation as part of the Unreal 5 Engine that Fortnite recently transitioned to in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Fortnite Chapter 4.

The whole thing is currently still very much in development, accessible only as a Public Beta, and has more elements planned to be added in the future before final release. However, it is still usable right now nonetheless, and Epic Games have already rel♌eased some sample experiences in Discover to show what's possible, as well as a lot of information about the technical side of .

Is Fortnite Creative 2.0 on PS4, PS5, Xbox and Switch consoles?

Fortnite Creative 2.0 thunder — (Image credit: Epic Games)

No, Fortnite Creative 2.0 and the UEFꦓN is not currently available on Xbox, PS5, PS4, Nintendo Switch, or any platform or console other than the PC and the Epic Games launcher.

Verse scripts are editedꦐ using the UEFN editor on PC, and the scripts you make work in Fortnite on all platforms useꦑrs play on. Later we will bring script editing to Creative Mode on all platforms (plug in a keyboard to type) but that’s not in the first 6 months of release.

However, while there's been no official announcement about when or if Creative 2.0 will be added to consoles, this Tweet from CEO of Epic Games Tim Sweeney has stated that it will be a minimum of six months until these scripting tools will migrate to other platforms. However, as mentioned, that doesn't stop console players from playing the islands and lꦇevels made in 2.0, just from making their own.

]]> //344567.top/fortnite-creative-20/ fXDbwgZAV9C7uUrqwgCoya Thu, 23 Mar 2023 17:27:46 +0000 <![CDATA[ Latest from GamesRadar+ UK in Epic-games ]]> Today, Epic launched Unreal Editor for Fortnite (or UEFN) as 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Fortnite Creative 2.0, an absurdly powerful set of mod too🍬ls that have already been used to transform the battle royale into entirely new🐎 types of games.

Fortnite has allowed and encouraged robust custom maps and game modes for some time through its Creative mode, but UEFN adds much more in-depth creation features straight out of Unreal Engine 5 itself. That means that users will be able to create all-new games within Fortnite, sꦛimilar to something like Roblox. The difference here is that Fortnite is built on one of the most extensive and graphically robust gam⛎e engines out there, so there's a much higher ceiling on what you can build.

To demonstrate what UEFN can do, Epic has published three of its own creations built using the tools that are now available to the public. Forest Guardian (island code ) gives you a single-player melee battle against a swarm of wolves under the eye of a massive dragon boss, seemingly inspired by the gorgeous fantasy vistas of the Soulsborne lineage and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Elden Ring.

The Space Insℱide (island code ) is an atmospheric puzzle game with a decidedly spooky atmosphere. There's even a first🤪-person segment that looks like the first step to a new version of the Silent Hill teaser PT.

Call of Duty’s domination mode recreated in Fortnite’s new creative mode, with Rust elements. Seriously, Activi🐎🉐sion, what went wrong? pic.twitter.com/5tO5RG8akR

Perhaps the most notable thing is Deserted: Domination (island code ), an 8v8 point capture game that works pretty much exactly like Domination mode from Call of Duty. L✱ong-time CoD fans have been seriously impressed, especially given how directly the map seeꦚms to evoke the series' Rust map.

The question, of course, is how long it'll take normal devs and modders to build work that's similar in quality to what Epic's done in-house. The publisher is certainly building incentives, though - as part of a revised creator payout system, it's promising to pay 40% of the net revenue from the Fortnite Item Shop to the creators who are most♛ effectively bringing new players in and keeping old players coming back. If you need a reminder, Fortnite makes billions of dollars every year, so that's no small amount of cash.

If you want a more technical breakdown of how UEFN works, check out the . For now, I am eagerly awaiting the first round of community creati💦ons with these new tools to start landing.

Is Fortnite number one among the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best battle royale games? Maybe, but by now it's also much more than that.

Now the only barrier to getting your game on the Epic Store is a $100 submission fee and🃏 a handful of approval requirements. For example, if your game has achievements on other platforms, it has to have achievements on Epic, and if there's online multiplayer, it must be compatible with any version released on other PC stores. Games must also "download, install, launch and function consistently."

Epic's billing this as a way to help developers reach a "growing audience of over 68 million monthly active users." Steam its monthly active user count as 132 million back in 2021, though that number's likely grown and there's certainly a fair amount of crossover between Steam and Epic users. Epic does still have the advantage of a universal 88/12 revenue s🎶plit in favor of developers - Steam offers a 70/30 split for all but the biggest games.

Until now, Epic's seemingly been hand-selecting the games released on its store, and while certainly not every game on the platform is a banger, the new release section is much easier toಞ navigate than it is on Steam. As of this writing, a dozen games have been released on Epic in the month of March so far. On Steam, 35 games have been released on the single day of March 9 alone.

There are well over 60,000 games on Steam now, and this is both the platform's greatest strength and its biggest weakness. It's a positive for indies to be able to sell their games in as many places as possible, but the sheer volume of games on Steam means that it's tough to sort out the hidden gems from the low-effort ꧂cash grabs.

Steam's increasingly wide-ranging recommendation algorithms are an effort to help players navigate the flood, but these days finding indie games to play is an occasionally complicated combination of browsing store pages, looking for recommendations on social media, and hoping that the games that seem to c☂ut above the noise are actually worthwhile. Epic's about to send the indies it hosts into the ocean to sink or swim, without even the life preserver of the recommendation tools Valve's developed.

Epic is taking a more heavy-handed approach to moderation, though. Valve's only ban games "illegal or straight-up trolling." If you're thinking that's vague, you're right - Valve's been back and forth with developers on what's allowed on the Steam store for years. There are plenty of questionable fetish games on Steam, though in 2019 Valv⛄e decided♓ one particularly egregious example called Rape Day was too much and removed it from the store. Games like Sex With Hitler - I promise I did not make that title up - arဣe still being released these days, though.

Meanwhile, Epic plans 🙈to ban "hateful or discriminatory content" and "pornography" alongside games with illegal content, copyright infringement🐓, and malware. The issue, of course, is that pornography is legendarily difficult to define, and it doesn't take much imagination to suspect that the developers behind saucy visual novels are going to start pointing at the sex and nudity in mainstream games like Cyberpunk 2077 and raising a fuss when they're inevitably kicked off of Epic.

On Steam, these debates essentially ran themselves into the ground without any clear answer. Do you cut off a big segment of indie devs to provide a curated selection of games to players? Epic's joining Steam and numerous other storefronts in de𒈔cidin🐲g the answer is no. Here's hoping the company has its own solutions to the consequent problems in mind.

Check out our list of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best Steam games. There are 25. They're all good.
