After successfully leveling up the day variant of Shiver Snowfields in New Pokemon Snap, you’ll gain access to Shiver Snowfields (Night), which features the exact same layout but with different Pokemon. This occurs about midway through the Durice arc, which starts after you’ve collected Illumina orbs for Fireflow Volcano, Elsewhere Forest, and Lental Undersea. While there are some roster changes between the day and night variants of Shiver Snowfields, they’re not quite as prevalent as they are in certain other biomes....

If you’re aiming to 100% complete New Pokemon Snap, then the Requests will be your biggest challenge. It’s all well and good filling up your Photodex and competing for high scores against your friends, but if you really want to make an impact, you need to get high-scoring four-star pictures, and the Requests are the best way to do exactly that. In this guide we’re breaking down everything you need to know about the Say Hello To Your Neighbors Request in New Pokemon Snap....

To the surprise of many, Riot Games had something to share during The Game Awards 2020. It wasn’t a new game, however. Rather, it was a new trailer for Ruined King: A League of Legends Story. The trailer mixed animated cinematics with gameplay, serving as a character introduction to Ruined King’s key party members. The trailer also teased Ruined King’s villain, a character that hasn’t even been revealed in League of Legends....

Late last week Sony finally released their highly anticipated PS4 console to the masses (read our review of the console). And in less than 24 hours the console sold through more than 1 million units. However, while units sold is a major factor in determining the success of a console, it doesn’t necessarily show why individual gamers made their PS4 purchase. That, of course, typically has a lot to do with what games are available (or will be available)....

The Nintendo Switch will be getting some simple virtual reality games thanks to the new Labo sets. The VR Labo Kits will include a pair of goggles that are required in order to use the other Labo sets, which include the Bird, the Blaster, the Camera, the Elephant, and the Wind Pedal. Nintendo has yet to release any footage of the games that will be compatible with the VR sets, but they have revealed that the Blaster game will involve fighting off an alien invasion, while the Camera game will involve taking pictures of sea life in the ocean....

The release of the Nintendo Switch Online service is only a month away, yet there still seem to be some teething problems that Nintendo haven’t resolved yet, as they still can’t lock down an actual release date for the service. Nintendo has sent out a message to all Nintendo Switch users to remind them of the upcoming Nintendo Switch Online service and how it will be required to play certain games online....

Gaming companies regularly patent new ideas and software systems and Nintendo is no different as they just recently filed one for a box, leading many to assume its intended to be related to Nintendo Labo in some way. A new patent granted to Nintendo seems to fine tune the virtual camera for games on the Nintendo Switch, which opens up new possibilities. Every game will have a virtual camera through which players can see what is happening on their screens....

Nioh players have 25 Kodama to collect in the game’s second region that will help them earn the Kodama achievement. Here is where to find every one of them. Just a few days after its launch, Nioh has already managed to prove itself as much more than a Dark Souls clone. The game does boast a similar painful difficulty to the Souls franchise, but the monster-slaying action RPG definitely has taken on a life of its own....

No Man’s Sky is the kind of game that could, without hyperbole, completely revolutionize the gaming industry. Any game that has an estimated completion time of over 5 billion years is obviously up to something unique and innovative, and Hello Games’ upcoming sci-fi title looks like it could be, in part, the game that players wanted Spore to be so many years ago. A strong showing at this year’s E3 conference has helped catapult No Man’s Sky near the top of most gamers’ wish lists, and fans are eagerly anticipating the announcement of a release date....

U Treasure has teamed up with The Pokémon Company to produce engagement rings that are inspired by Pikachu and Mew. All of the trainers out there might who think they have enough Pokédollars to buy a ring like this might need to go out and catch a Meowth that knows Pay Day, as the rings will set them back by around $1,250. Those who purchase a set of engagement rings and wedding rings will receive a Master Ball case for free, which contains a magnet that keeps the ring in place....

The Outer Worlds is Obsidian Entertainment’s opportunity to revisit the ideas it had for Fallout: New Vegas, building off what many consider to be the best game in the Fallout franchise. A large part of that will be bringing back the unique personality of Fallout: New Vegas and all of the smaller details that allowed players to be the exact kind of character they wanted to be. It sounds like Obsidian is going to deliver exactly that, adding a number of RP-focused options including Below Average Intelligence and Flaws for players to experiment with....

We’re focusing on specific Legendary weapons....

With Outriders’ release being just around the corner, many wondered about People Can Fly’s plans for post-launch support of the game. According to the dev, Outriders can get DLC in the future, but only if players are interested and the game proves successful. During the marketing campaign, Outriders developers several times emphasized that this looter-shooter game is no live service project, and shouldn’t be compared to Destiny 2, Anthem, Marvel’s Avengers, and other similar products....

Despite managing to claw its way back from a meteoric scandal when it launched back in late 2017, production on Star Wars: Battlefront 2’s future updates and additions shut down at the end of last month, with the game’s developers claiming they’d now be working on general maintenance. This was naturally a fairly harsh blow for the game’s wide community, with many claiming that the game had really become something extraordinary since its controversies with microtransactions upon release....

Grinding Gear Games’ Path of Exile released in 2013, but the New Zealand developer has kept the experience fresh by periodically releasing new challenge leagues with different modifiers and features. Its most recent league, Path of Exile: Harvest, took cues from games like Stardew Valley by having players inherit a farm that harvests Lifeforce. The next league, aptly named Path of Exile: Heist, is inspired by films like Ocean’s Eleven (2001)....

This article is part 2 in our History of PC Gaming series. The evolution of PC gaming features ups, down, important characters, and many, many chapters. And these chapters are not always so clearly defined. There is much debate about which pivotal moments define the history of PC gaming. There is no universally agreed upon series of innovations that form the story of PC gaming to this day, but we’ve taken a crack at identifying the landmark occurrences which not only forever changed the way we play on our PCs but that helped shape the nature of the video game industry as we know it and as it will become in the future....

Thousands of games have been removed from the Chinese version of the iOS App Store, a new report has revealed.
