Get the King back to his rightful place Developer Frima Studios has announced a release date and price for their upcoming indie platformerChariot. It’ll arrive on September 30th for $14.99 on PS4 (October 1st for Xbox One), and on October 22nd in Europe. The gist is that you’ll have to work together with a partner (or just control both characters yourself) to move an object that holds a sacred King. The King himself is said to deliver lots of ghostly snark, and the platforming actually looks pretty fun....

Is it that time already? Later this month at EGX London (formerly Eurogamer Expo),Total Warstudio Creative Assembly will “reveal” the next installment in its popular strategy franchise. The announcement will be a part of adeveloper sessionscheduled for 8:00am Pacific on Thursday, September 25. It will be streamed onTwitch, thankfully. I’m not one to normally keep tabs on EGX, but I’ll have to make an exception for this and the session before it, a new project fromOlliOlliandNot a Herodeveloper Roll7....

Saving your ears from being bored Considering the broad range of places we visit when we jump into new game-spaces, the omission of most languages other than English is a strange one. American accents can be found everywhere from fantasy kingdoms to intergalactic space stations, and even when the accent isn’t obviously American, the language they speak is rarely anything other than English. It isn’t just a tad lazy and boring to listen to, for me it’s actually a bit immersion breaking....

Box office roundup Color me surprised,Deadpool 2did what future classicsOverboard,Life of the Party, andBreaking Incouldn’t do, it usurpedAvengers: Infinity Waras the top box office take for the weekend. Maybe it’s not really surprising to see a comic book movie take out another comic book movie, but with how bigInfinity Waris/was I had a slim sliver of doubt thatDeadpoolwouldn’t take the top spot. Coming in with $125 million,Deadpool 2actually underperformed some of the projections that analysts had it at, but with a shooting budget of only $110 million I’m sure the execs at Fox aren’t really too overly sad about this news....

August 16 The story of the fourthDisaster Reportgame, now titledDisaster Report 4 Plus: Summer Memories, is long and troubled. Originally bound for the PS3 from studio Irem as yet another entry in the successful series, it was eventually canned entirely following the devastating 2011 tsunami in Japan. Seven years later developer Granzella is picking up the pieces and releasing the project due to what they say is fan-demand. It’s still set for October on PS4 in the region, but now folks will be able to snag a demo on August 16....

The above is what greeted one unfortunate gamer on Christmas morn after he asked his grandfather forModern Warfare 2. Somehow, he did not specify that it was a videogame for one of the major gaming systems, and instead received theModern Warfare Collector’s Set. As you may have gathered, theCollector’s Setis not a specialCall of Dutycompilation that you’ve never heard of. It is instead one of those cheap DVDs you see in supermarket bins containing documentaries and feature presentations typically enjoyed by wankers....

Dress up to paint the town red Koei Tecmo have released a lengthy video featuring a selection of stylish outfits for upcoming hack ‘n’ slah adventure,Dynasty Warriors 9. The DLC is available to purchasers of the Japanese physical edition of the game, and is irritatingly rocking the whole “different DLC from different stores” schtick. Seven different outfits are available in all, and I gotta say they’re quite lovely, albeit hilariously unsuitable for the battlefield, with all the gals dressed up to the nines for a night out, rather than ready to engage in en masse evisceration....

Do it for Andy Serkis ThePremium EditionofEnslaved: Odyssey to the Westcan now be downloaded onSteamandPlayStation Network, with the former release being a first for the title. AfterDmC, I was hoping this earlier Ninja Theory project would find its way to PC. It’s priced at $19.99 and includes thePigsy’s Perfect 10DLC plus extra character skins for Monkey and Trip. It feels like ages since I last played this game. In fact, I don’t recall many specifics outside of the memorable ending....

It’s time for another Nintendo Direct, though not a fully Nintendo-focused one. Today, the Switch manufacturer presented two back-to-back showcases, spotlighting indies and third-party partners bringing games to the Nintendo console through this year and into the next. Though it didn’t have any Nintendo or Switch 2 news, that’s not to say we didn’t get a few stunners. Fans of old classics should especially enjoy this one; remasters, remakes, and classic collections were all over the place in today’s dual showcase broadcast....
