According to Siliconera, the first details concerning Sony’s nextKillzonesequel have appeared online, hinting at a new leader for the Helghast. By all accounts, the principal player of the future game is Visari’s daughter, seen everso briefly inKillzone 3‘s intro. It’s unclear if this is for a new console game, or the vaguely detailed PS Vita iteration. The game’s obligatory political speech has apparently been snuck online, too.

By now,Valve’s Steam Deck handheld is a fairly mature devicethat doesn’t havethatmany big problems that users need to contend with. Its biggest downside, really, is the lacking and somewhat fiddly support for third-party launchers, though a new Decky plugin aims to solve that, too.

What they did bring is a demo containing 12 characters and five stages, which reminded me why I’m excited for this game. Being in a match with Sony’s Japanese mascot Toro, Heihachi, Daxter, and Drake on Parappa’s stage was great. There are still some kinks that need to get worked out....

A little bit of nerfs, a little bit of buffs This is pretty awesome. Despite only being available in an inherently silly separatemode, Thanos, essentially a new boss character in the limited time Infinity Gauntlet gametype inFortnite, has been nerfed again. Shortly after launch his stats were altered, and now Epic Games is decreasing his health pool from 800 to 500. He does get a slight boost in terms of his punch damage (80 to 100) and his beam damage (12 to 20), but that health decrease is pretty massive....
