For one, the closed alpha FAQ states that initial regions that’ll have access are North America and Canada. Also, it’s recommended you have a phone that’s at least as new as a Snapdragon 845 for Android or iPhone 8 for Apple.As for the story, that’s where it gets interesting. In a developer preview posted on the website, it states that the game is not a traditional sequel to Destiny 2, but rather an alternative timeline set in the years prior to Destiny 1 and 2. The preview states:”Destiny: Rising is set in an alternate timeline, many years before Destiny 1 & 2. This timeline allows for a different exploration of how humanity began to rise from the ashes of the Collapse, when invaders from beyond the stars brought an end to what was once a golden age.”Important characters like Ikora Ray will return, and will apparently be playable! In the trailer, you might have seen classes using abilities they shouldn’t be able to. Well according to the preview, “This is an era before the Guardians were fully defined, and the classes of Hunters, Titans, and Warlocks had not yet been solidified. Each character comes with a distinct and unique play style, offering a fresh and immersive experience.” The alpha will be initially focused on PvE, but PvP modes will be available. You can sign up for the alpha now, and it’ll kick off on November 1!What do you think? Ae you happy about this, or thoroughly dissapointed? Let us know below!

He said in an interview with Fall Damage (via Dexerto) that he’s confident the game will be “fantastic,” going on to say no one ever knows what to expect from Rockstar Games, and that’s part of the reason why he’s so eager to see what the studio is cooking up.
“You never know what Rockstar is going to do,” he said. “What I tell people is, be patient. It’s going to be worth the wait. From what I’ve seen, it’s going to be amazing. They’re going to blow our [GTA V] numbers away.”
By “numbers,” Luke was referring to the $800 million that GTA V earned in its first 24 hours back in 2013. Luke said he expects GTA VI to make $1.3 billion in …

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 will have no DRM whatsoever. Tobias Stolz-Zwilling, the PR boss at developer Warhorse, confirmed this during a recent Twitch stream.
The RPG does not use Denuvo or any form of DRM, the developer said, as reported by IGN. Stolz-Zwilling said Warhose had “some discussions” about utilizing DRM to protect the game from piracy, but it was ultimately decided that “it will not have any DRM system at all.”
Stolz-Zwilling said he hopes this brings closure to the ongoing questions from the community about whether or not Deliverance 2 will have DRM.
“Stop texting under every post we do that Denuvo is in the game, because it’s not. We never announced… we never said it will be there. As I said, a bit of a misunderstanding,” he said. “Let’s bury that th…

Read moreSince the beginning of The Boys in 2019, showrunner Eric Kripke has done just about everything to show audiences that Homelander (Antony Starr) is a villain. He may drape himself in the American flag, but Homelander has killed countless people through three seasons and he’s behaved in very un-heroic ways. Regardless, some fans continue to view Homelander as a hero. As The Boys heads into its fourth season, Kripke doesn’t know what he can do or say to change that perception among Homelander’s fans.
While speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, Kripke not only took on Homelander’s defenders, he also addressed fans who have accused the show of going “woke.”
“Anyone who wants to call the show ‘woke’ or whatever, that’s OK. Go watch something else. But I’m certainly not going to pu…

At a glance, you’d be forgiven for thinking that The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom follows firmly in the footsteps of the 2019 remake of Link’s Awakening. Stick Zelda in as a playable character, give her a magic wand, sell an absolute shed-load of copies. Job done.
But having now played an 80-minute section from early in the game, this comparison seems only surface-deep. Although it shares the extremely cute, diorama-esque aesthetic of its top-down predecessor, Echoes captures much more of the systemic and improvisational joys of Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom than you might expect.
