From now through the end of the month, TERA players can take part in a number of spooky events to celebrate Halloween. Console players will find the Festival Hall dungeon and several different costume packages. Meanwhile PC players need to use Halloween Cannons to “repel waves of monsters intent on stealing every last bit of candy”. Successful efforts will net players some of that candy to trade for mounts, pets, costumes, masks and much more.
Legends of Aria is finally coming to Steam Early Access after four years since the game was first announced! The announcement was made on the official site and reveals that the game will be available starting on December 4th. Fans are invited to pre-order the game prior to December 3rd in order to receive a 7-day head start — a handy thing if someone might want to claim a plot of land to build a home on.
Someone has not only broken the New World NDA, but done so on spectacular fashion with over two hours of in-game footage leaked to…Porn Hub. However, a new 9 minute video from Less than Epic has sorted through the video to provide “First Impressions”.
As you may already know, Fighting EX Layer is getting a PC port. This port is, of course, getting the graphics options expected of a modern PC game. And ARIKA’s Ichiro Mihara has shared screenshots comparing the differences between the game’s graphical presets.
Based on Mihara’s tweet, Fighting EX Layer on PC has three graphics presets: “Low”, “Mid”, and “Epic”. You can check these out in the gallery below.
In addition to these presets, players will also be able to adjust the game’s rendering scale, shadowing, anti-aliasing, and post processing.

In this week’s issue of Jump, Bandai Namco is teasing the next DLC character for My Hero One’s Justice, with a silhouette that seemingly belongs to Inasa Yoarashi.
Known as Gale Force, Inasa is recognizable by his cape, and large glove on his left hand. Both of these are quite noticeable in the silhouette included in the article.
In addition to Inasa, the article also gives us a closer look at Endeavor, the DLC character who’s coming as a pre-order bonus for the Western release.
My Hero One’s Justice is set to hit PlayStation 4, PC, Switch, and Xbox One in the West on October 26.

Stark Tech is a new form of progression introduced to Marvel Strike Force in update 2.0. The system allows for players to spend Alliance Credits earned through daily Alliance donations to apply Origin-wide upgrades to their roster. It’s a good, but not super interesting new layer of customization for players, that can also be a bit confusing or overwhelming.
We’ve seen footage before, but at last Bandai Namco has officially revealed Inferno for SoulCalibur VI.
Soul series veterans should already be familiar with this flaming entity who had previously served as the final boss of the first three games in the series (Soul Edge, SoulCalibur, and Soul Calibur II). It’s unknown if it’ll play the same role in SoulCalibur VI‘s Chronicle of Souls mode, though players who played the final build of the game at TGS have reported that Inferno in unlockable in that mode.
In previous games, Inferno was able to wield the weapons and fighting style of the entire cast. Here however, he’s shown wielding only Nightmare’s version of Soul Edge — but with a number of new moves, many of which seem to have been taken from SoulCalibur III‘s Night Terror. Bandai Namco’s press release seems to indicate that Inferno’s mimicry may not be lost, however:
Inferno, the original antagonist that kicked-off decades of struggle for power in both Soul Blade and SOULCALIBUR returns to SOULCALIBUR VI to wreak havoc and deal death to all challengers. As the evil spirit of Soul Edge, Inferno is fearsome, possessing deep knowledge of fighting techniques which he mimics with uncanny skill, allowing him to use any weapon and fighting style with a phenomenal degree of expertise. Inferno’s power defies standard means of measurement, if one were only comparing skill and weaponry, then Inferno easily transcends any of Soul Edge’s previous vessels.
SoulCalibur VI arrives on PlayStation 4, PC, and Xbox One on October 19, 2018.
