For Turtle Beach, key to this expansion is a sub-brand; Neat Microphones. Neat is its own company, but is owned by Turtle Beach, and there’s undoubtedly some technology and knowledge crossover between the two. Neat has been around for a little while, but just made its European debut with a small selection of microphone products a few months ago. My first brush with Neat is the Bumblebee 2, a surprisingly compact little desktop USB microphone that nevertheless packs a pretty impressive punch for its size and price bracket....

This is likely due to the game leaking yesterday thanks to a Japanese retail listing. While there isn’t any information on the game available at present, as the official website still has a countdown clock going, the video does a good job showing off a new look for the series. Yesterday’s leak noted a December 2 release date, which is accurate, so we can assume the early information provided is accurate as well....

However, there’s some hope for the trusty support, as we’ve gotten a new Stories from the Outlands cinematic where she, alongside childhood friend Octane, go on a medicine heist and overcome some parental expectation all while dodging bullets and explosions. Fun stuff. Going in, you’d expect some deep dives into character motivation for joining up in the Apex Games, as well as an entertaining show for any and all invested in the narrative threads that weave between the battle royale, comics, and other scattered lore across the internet....

Microsoft has pushed out a new update for Microsoft Surface Duo that has essentially turned the device into a handheld gaming console thanks to some intelligent touchscreen support. If you boot up some Xbox Cloud Gaming titles on the device, you can use the second screen as a pad – the touch screen has had buttons mapped to it, making it feel more like a purpose-built gaming device than ever before....

However, rare is an understatement. Finding Fae Iron is more about luck than looking in the right place, but fortunately, there are a few key ways you can increase your luck to find more of the rare stone. New World Fae Iron | Where to find Fae Iron Fae Iron comes from Iron Veins, and that’s only when it feels like it. The chance of acquiring Fae Iron when you’re mining Iron Veins is rather low....

If you want to advance in your chosen faction, you’ll have to put in the effort to raise your reputation and take on some additional quests. The quests themselves are fairly straightforward, though the requirements for unlocking them are rather vague.

A recent report from GamesIndustry.biz confirms that although the coronavirus’ impact on Switch production has started to show signs of decrease, Nintendo still expects a variety of games currently in development to be met with delays.

After you’ve made your way back through the waterwheel village, you’ll find your two friends scrapping in the forest clearing where you beat the Kamaitachi. This battle is absolutely nuts. It’s tough fighting two enemies at the best of times, but two bosses at the same time puts you under relentless pressure. Lucky for you, there’s at least friendly fire for your two foes - despite them dropping their differences instantly to come and kick your teeth in....

Team Ninja has rolled out a new update for Nioh 2 on PS4. The update mainly brings a number of bug fixes, and a few balance changes, but the biggest addition is the cross-save management feature. The remastered version of Nioh 2, of course, arrives this Friday, February 5 on PS5. The upgrade is available for free to owners of the game on PS4, but given the way PlayStation does things, you’ll need to manually upload your existing PS4 save to be able to use it on PS5....

This includes a relaxed mode, and a survival mode, both of which offer easier and harder difficulties depending on what type of player you are. On top of that, there’s performance improvements, increased inventory space, and of course, perhaps the biggest accompaniment of the whole 4.0 update, the space-exploration title has finally arrived on Nintendo Switch. That said, those playing the game on Nintendo Switch will not only be able to explore the vast expanse of space with responsive touch controls in handheld mode, they’ll also be able to bag themselves some freebies for supporting Hello Games’ survival game on the handheld....

In the wealth of options on offer, Outriders’ crafting system does two things incredibly well: Letting you use your favorite items liberally, rather than forcing you to constantly change to things which don’t suit your playstyle And helping you to let go of that awesome piece of early-game rare gear that’s starting to get seriously underpowered Making full use of Outriders’ crafting system is key to your success at higher world tiers, so be sure not to neglect any element....

Last night’s Outriders livestream brought us a tonne of new information. From a new look at gameplay, to details about mechanics, and even confirmation of the absence of microtransactions and Denuvo. But one particular gameplay mechanic that may gone unnoticed is developer People Can Fly’s approach to world tiers. A world tier is typically an element of end-game progression. When players finish all meaningful content, games automatically advance them into the different world tiers....

For a start, the current battle pass in the game leaves more to be desired; so much so, that all it takes is one look at the Overwatch 2 subreddit to see that players are far from happy. There’s little to no chance this’ll happen, with the UK Government having put legislation in place to ban loot boxes in video games, but there’s certainly a need for something to be done about the current state of the game and its methods of monetising itself....

Dorrani, our in-house Overwatch player and video creator was one of the select few invited. Embedded above, he’s wrapped up all his impressions around six minutes of Overwatch 2 beta footage. Be sure to give it a watch for the perspective of a longtime fan of the series trying out the next major instalment.
