League Of Legends Introduces New Seasonal Model With Welcome To Noxus
For the past 15 years, League of Legends’ seasons have been just a part of the game’s ranked competitive play, with little impact on lore or events. From 2025, Riot will introduce a new seasonal model that’s closer to other live-service games, with each year split up into three seasons that will tell a story based on one of the game’s regions. The first, arriving in January, will be titled Welcome to Noxus.
The new seasons are a major overhaul for the long-running MOBA, with Welcome to Noxus launching as LoL: Season One. Each season will run for around eight patches, or 16 weeks, and most gameplay updates, modes, minigames, and champions will be connected to the season’s overarching narrative. Each season will feature two battle passes, which will function similarly to LoL’s current Event Pass, with both a paid and a free track. A number of extraneous rewards systems scattered across the game will be streamlined, with the free battle pass track collecting most rewards in one p…
Life Is Strange Devs Reportedly Found Hidden Nazi Symbols During Development
Deck Nine, the studio behind Life is Strange, apparently had an issue with Nazi symbols and dog whistles mysteriously appearing in its work during development. In a new report by IGN, insiders spoke about toxic work culture and their concerns about someone trying to hide hate speech in their games.
Symbols included the number 88 (code for “Heil Hitler”), racist memes, the number 18 (code for “Adolf Hitler”), and the Hagal rune. Developers flagged the symbols for bosses to remove, but changes were not as swift as they hoped. In one instance, developers asked to remove an image of a particular racist meme, but it reportedly remained present, albeit displayed less prominently. While developers acknowledged that adding numbers could be a simple mistake, it was difficult to believe it was coincidental next to the other symbols.
After enough hate speech reports, CEO Mark Lyons finally addressed the issue in a message to employees on Slack. Deck Nine hired Investigations Law Gr…
Lords Of The Fallen- How To Spot Mimic Items
It’s not unusual for Soulslike games to feature some well-laid traps to trick players into taking sudden bursts of damage, but Lords of the Fallen is especially devilish in its approach to mimics. As you explore the game’s various locations, you’ll likely find that your attempts to pick up some items results in a giant Umbral enemy tearing through the fabric of reality to gobble you up and spit you out. This can often result in an instant death, so you’ll want to learn how to spot this tricky foe from afar. We’ll tell you how below.
How to spot mimic items in Lords of the Fallen
Mimic items are scattered all through Lords of the Fallen, often even sitting among other normal items just waiting for you to pick it up and have a chunk taken out of your health bar. Luckily, you can spot this mimicry by watching the little tail that extends above the item. If it stays relatively still and only sways slightly, it’s a safe item to pick up. However, if you notice that t…
Madden 23 – Las Vegas Raiders Roster And Ratings
Madden 23 is here, and that means virtual football fans once more have a full season’s worth of debates to have, first downs to pick up, and hopefully, more than a few touchdown dances to choreograph. We’re breaking down the Madden 23 rosters for all 32 teams, and in this guide, we’ll be taking a look at the Las Vegas Raiders. The Raiders had one of the most impactful offseasons of any NFL team, with the headlining move being the acquisition of wide receiver Davante Adams. The addition of Adams makes the Raiders’ offense much more potent, but their defense shouldn’t be overlooked either. If you’re curious who the Raiders’ best players are, where they stack up in the league as a whole, or which roster spots may need to be improved in Franchise mode, here’s everything you need to know about the Madden 23 Raiders roster.
