Ubisoft has announced that its seemingly hand-drawn RPG Child of Light will be available for download on April 30 for $14.99. Ubisoft also released a trailer to show you what to expect. (Check it out below.)
If you haven’t heard about the upcoming Child of Light from Ubi’s Montreal studio, here’s your chance to get on board. The game is set in the magic-filled world of Lemuria. It re-imagines classic fairytales with an RPG twist. Here’s the “official” breakdown:
Players will uncover mysteries, participate in turn-by-turn combat inspired by classic JRPGs, and explore a mystical kingdom. The game puts players in the shoes of Aurora, a child stolen from her home, who, in her quest to return, must bring back the sun, the moon and the stars held captive by the mysterious Queen of the Night. Helped by her companion Igniculus the firefly and several unlikely allies, Aurora will face her darkest fears, including dragons and other mystical creatures in this modern take on a coming-of-age story.
If you’re looking for more games on the next-gen systems, Child of Light is worth paying attention to. The game will be available for – bear with us here – PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Wii U, Xbox 360, and Xbox One..
Acer’s Predator Atlas 8 finally has a US release date and price, several months after the company first showed off the handheld in May. The highlight is the Intel Arc G3 Extreme chip inside, which has been adopted by only a couple of other consoles besides the Atlas 8. This version will go on sale exclusively at Best Buy on November 1 for $1,299.99.
Acer originally said the Atlas 8 would arrive in North America in October, but left pricing open at the time. The launch came amid the ongoing DRAM crunch, which has made memory more expensive across the PC industry and complicated pricing for hardware makers.
Google Play is borrowing one of the Nintendo Switch’s most useful little tricks. A new Sidekick tool called Playbacks captures a short clip after something interesting has already happened, sparing players from running a screen recorder throughout an entire game.
Playbacks is part of Google Play Store v53.8 and keeps saved clips on the phone. Google first announced it earlier this month, but the new Play Store update marks its arrival for players. Anyone who has watched a perfect win vanish because the record button came too late already understands the appeal.
