2019’s GreedFall is one of the best AA RPGs you’re going to find on modern hardware, so it’s no surprise that excitement surrounding its sequel has been high. Earlier this year, developer Spiders and publisher Nacon announced that GreedFall 2: The Dying World would be launching in early access for PC sometime this summer, and now that we’re smack dab in the middle of summer, a specific release date for the same has been announced.
GreedFall 2: The Dying World will launch for PC in early access via Steam on September 24. As confirmed previously, upon its early access launch, the game will give players access to its entire beginning, which will entail the character creator, three regions to explore in the form of Teer…
It can be said that remaking games is like reinterpreting memories. Plucking shards of emotion, feeling, or detail from the ether, once crystalised over time now demanding reformulation into something both reminiscent yet with newfound purpose.
The memory of playing Silent Hill 2 is more nebulous than any other horror remake to emerge in recent years. The eponymous town mysteriously abandoned, as we know, but cloaked in dense, morose fog, conceals its secrets, tasking our imaginations with bringing life to the terror lurking out of sight, much like every protagonist we control and NPC resident we encounter. The town is a cracked mirror reflecting our collective torment; our anxieties as the player, and our interpretation of the trauma suffer…
Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu said the LaLiga champions cannot imagine life without superstar Lionel Messi.
Messi has established himself as the greatest player in Barca s history following his debut in 2004, becoming the club s all-time leading goalscorer.
The 31-year-old signed a new contract with Barca in 2017 and while Bartomeu knows the Spaniards must prepare for the post-Messi era, he is ready to finalise another renewal.
At the moment we cannot imagine it, but we have to prepare for it, Bartomeu told Marca.
It will be a very different Barcelona, we have to look for young talent.
Leo has a contract until 2021 and we will also do another renewal. He has the ambition to win titles.

Co-op shooter Warhammer 40,000: Darktide has been out for quite some time, having originally come out on PC, and then eventually making its way onto the Xbox Series X/S. The game has now essentially completed its release plans and is available on all current-gen consoles capable of running it with its PS5 release, and we decided that this would be the perfect time to revisit the shooter.
Calling the original release of Darktide underbaked would be quite a bit of an understatement, considering the fact that the game only had a few missions, very limited progression systems that seldom provided players with any real options for how their character would play, and even an underbaked loot system with limited ways of changing up …
Serbia striker Aleksandar Mitrovic is once again being linked with Newcastle United exit.
The 23-year-old forward has dropped to third place in the pecking order behind Joselu as the first-choice striker and last-season’s star Dwight Gayle who remains the back-up option for Magpies.
Aleksandar Mitrovic has been limited to only three appearances in all competitions for Rafa Benitez’s squad, making a single start in the EFL Cup against Nottingham Forest.
The British media report today that Newcastle will try to offload the former Anderlecht forward after failing to get him off their books during summer.
A couple of Italian sides were thought to be in the running for Mitrovic’s signature whereas the latest links see the Serbian get connected to a poss…
Central Coast Mariners began their A-League campaign with a 2-1 win away at rivals Newcastle Jets in Sunday s double-header at McDonald Jones Stadium.
The Mariners finished third last season before failing to advance to the semi-finals in the post-season but have ended the first round of 2021-22 fixtures on top of the table.
Joshua Nisbet squeezed a low finish past Newcastle goalkeeper Jack Duncan shortly after half-time, and a second away goal soon followed through Jacob Farrell s thumping header.
Angus Thurgate s superb cross teed up substitute Valentino Yuel 12 minutes from time to set up a tense finish, but the Jets could not recover a first point of the season, slipping to a second consecutive home defeat in the F3 derby for the first time in A-League histo…
Eduardo Camavinga is stunned to have been called up to France s senior squad so early in his career as he still sees himself as a child.
The Rennes midfielder, 17, made his breakthrough at club level in the 2018-19 season when he was barely 16 and his development since then has been impressive.
Reportedly tracked by many of the world s biggest clubs, the technically gifted playmaker made 36 first-team appearances for Rennes last season despite his tender age.
Camavinga played in both of Rennes first two matches of the new campaign and scored a brilliant – and decisive – goal in Saturday s 2-1 win over Montpellier.
He received his maiden call-up last week after Paul Pogba s coronavirus diagnosis was confirmed and will be the youngest player to represen…
Chelsea interim boss Roberto Di Matteo claims he has not asked for the job on a permanent basis.
Di Matteo has been in charge for three games since the sacking of Andre Villas-Boas, including the spectacular 4-1 win over Napoli last week which sent Chelsea through to the last eight of the Champions League.
If results carry on in this fashion it may not be long until the Italian becomes one of the front-runners for the manager s seat. However, Di Matteo has refused to reveal if he is interested in taking the job on full-time.
That has not crossed my mind for one second, he told RTE Sport.
I have so many things to do you can t even imagine. I am focusing just to get the team ready to the best of my ability for Sunday.
We have set ourselves the …
