In a chat with IGN at Gamescom, Gearbox’s Randy Pitchford mentioned they are taking a stronger approach (than just doubling down) on additional content, which we refer to as “tripling down”. This doesn’t mean players have to engage in it if they don’t wish to. However, it can sometimes be misleading when the optional nature of side content is highlighted excessively. Ideally, any extra content a game offers should seem both optional and vital to the story, setting, and player’s overall experience – a delicate balance that becomes tougher as more side content is included in a game.

The manga series “My Hero Academia” has already concluded, but its popularity continues to thrive due to the impending release of its Final Season in anime, scheduled for later this year. Additionally, the author’s frequent releases of supplementary content further maintain excitement among fans, even though the manga has already ended.

In certain instances, there has been a significant decrease of almost 10% in the prices for the RTX 5090, RTX 5080, and RTX 5070. This price reduction is happening across the region, as the Euro continues to gain strength against the U.S. dollar.

I had the opportunity to chat with Randy Pitchford, CEO of Gearbox, during Gamescom, where we delved into the improvements aimed at distinguishing Borderlands 4 from its predecessor, Borderlands 3. He didn’t shy away from expressing his apprehension regarding a significant change that will impact the game’s difficulty level.

The new game, titled “Gears of War: Reloaded,” represents Epic Games’ latest effort to make their groundbreaking 2006 third-person shooter accessible for contemporary gamers. A decade ago, the game’s initial remaster, “Gears of War: Ultimate Edition,” was launched, and its core mechanics have remained engaging enough for developers The Coalition to reintroduce it as “Gears of War: Reloaded.” Notably, this version offers a significant change – it will be available on the PlayStation 5, marking the first time the franchise has ever been released on a Sony console. This move signifies another step in breaking down the barriers of console exclusivity.

In North America, just like elsewhere, fans of the series “Demon Slayer” are eagerly awaiting the upcoming cinema release. Despite the movie, Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Chapter 1: Akaza Returns, not arriving in theaters for a few more weeks, there’s strong anticipation that it will shatter numerous box office records once it does.

Although Dying Light: The Beast aims to introduce new elements for an engaging experience, Techland is carefully building upon what was most successful in earlier installments of the series. Notably, they’re reintroducing a cooperative multiplayer mode that was featured in both Dying Light and Dying Light 2. Game Rant had a conversation with members of the Techland team, including Tymon Smektala (franchise director) and Nathan Lemaire (game director), to delve into the intricacies of the cooperative mode within the context of the series.
