Ubisoft finally revealed that #StarWarsOutlaws will release on 08/30/24, responding to almost non-stops leak of the game's details. There will be a Gold Edition ($109.99) that includes: -Season Pass that will bring 2 in-lore expansions -A exclusive Jabba's Gambit mission -3 days early access to the game Meanwhile the Ultimate Edition ($129.99) will include what Gold brings with also: -Sabacc Shark Bundle -Rogue Infiltrator Bundle -Digital art book Also the game will mark a 2nd time in a row that Ubisoft requires users to have active Internet Connection while installing the game if it comes in a BluRay (not just update/Day One Patch) after Avatar: Frontiers Of Pandora, which the only explanation is that the game's installation data is too big for a single BluRay, but maybe for cost cutting, declined on a extra installation-only disc like the case of Final Fantasy VII Remake series. Star Wars Outlaws follows space scoundrel Kay Vess and her companion Nix looking their place between bounty hunters in a Underworld unexpected golden age after the Empire's engagement with the Rebel Alliance took unexpectedly priority. Chronologically, the game's timeline takes between Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back & Episode VI: Return Of The Jedi, so there you have a low chances on encountering original Star Wars characters, specially Han Solo. #Gaming #GameNews #youtubegaming 🕹 🎮

During a big update on expectation for the launch of Senua's Saga #Hellblade2, Ninja Theory co-founder Tameem Antoniades has left the studio, confirmed by Xbox Game Studios acknowledging his unignorable absence on the latest updates of the game. The game has achieved Unreal Engine 5 visual benchmark, regardless being capped at 30 fps for Xbox consoles, it is touted as true next-gen experience & one of the best good-looking games so far as game's realistic FMVs scenes will match movie theater's quality at 24 fps. Hellblade 2's Storyline will be a narrative, linear action experience with very high production values, focus on story and cinematic craft, impactful combat & puzzles, expected to take players between 8 to 9 hours to complete. Combat system was designed to be a one on one only, slow-paced and expect to feel brutal with swinging your sword always feeling heavy & impactful.

Just like when a failed redacted document was leaked on the Internet, it seems that the Court of North California District needs to have double-check on their office clerks. Because there was a massive leaks of findings and evidence regarding #Xbox that were filed during the failed FTC Preliminary Injunction against Microsoft on attempting to buy Activision Blizzaard. The leaked documents highlights all plans that Microsoft have for this decade including a buying spree with names like Nintendo (it will be the 2nd time since late 90's attempt), WB Games, Valve and more. AS for Xbox Hardware, despite Phil Spencer confirming that there will be no mid-gen upgrade, we could see an All-Digital Xbox Series X (no Blu-Ray ROM) by 2025 & new custom Xbox controller in 2024. Microsoft tentatively aims for 2028 to say/launch what's next for Xbox hardware. It will be interesting on the reach that Xbox wants to stretch as there are visions of maybe a proper Nintendo Switch answer for the next main hardware as an "hybrid" computing and also, a Cloud-Ready Xbox console was mentioned. Now that Stadia is out of the picture, Microsoft is already developing Game Pass Cloud Servers upgrades to prepare Xbox as a proper PC gaming streaming and no longer exclusive Xbox Series X environment. Talking about Stadia, Microsoft was wary on chances to compete, but after the first rumors of Immersive Stream, the corporate version of Stadia, was a new priority rather Stadia itself, CEO Satya Nadella asked Xbox team about any opportunities & how they see why Google failed. At the Preliminary Injunction hearing, it was revealed that Microsoft chose NOT to upper up their Cloud Gaming offering & let Stadia take the lead, precisely because Microsoft knew that it will be used against it in case of a massive purchase, like the Activision Blizzard deal. Finally in gaming software related, The Elder Scrolls VI was originally slated for a 2022 release, but Starfield took priority. Before the purchase of ZeniMax Studios and Bethesda, works on the next DOOM game, Dishonored 3 & a Ghostwire Tokyo sequel were in the pipeline. Finally, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and Fallout 3 remaster are also in development, meanwhile, it was mentioned that Rockstar Games is working on the next-gen upgrade of Read Dead Redemption 2. There is an expectation that more things will go public in a matter of days. #Gaming #GamingNews

Stadia users! Do you remember the Stadia Double Deep Google Sheet that a fellow Stadian shared to the Stadia community? In my case and after buying Dragon Ball Z Kakarot Digital Deluxe Edition at special price, I am at 81 games out of the 204 owned (more than 50% were Stadia Pro and 7 that Ubisoft gifted on Ubisoft Connect) and just interested on buying again 59. Which left a difference of 64 games that were probably granted via Stadia Pro but never got any interest on them.
