Team Ninja’s upcoming Soulslike title Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty will be released worldwide on March 3, 2023, Koei Tecmo America announced on Wednesday.
The publisher notes that Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty Digital Deluxe Edition will be released on the same day. This special edition of the game will come with a Season Pass that features three DLC packs, which will have new generals, demons, scenarios, stages, and weapon types, among other forms of content. Anyone who purchases the Digital Deluxe Edition will be rewarded with the Qinglong Armor, which is a Season Pass bonus item, along with the digital artbook and mini soundtrack.
In addition to the Qinglong Armor, players will be rewarded with a couple more armor pieces if they pre-order Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty. Players that preorder the physical or digital copy of the game by March 16, 2023, will receive the Baihu Armor. Those who only preorder the digital version will get the Zhuque Armor in addition to the Baihu Armor. On the physical front, the game will also be released with a Steelbook version that comes with bonus DLC items, including Crown of Zhurong and Crown of Gonggong.
On top of the new release date, Koei Tecmo and Team Ninja released the results of a survey they conducted in September, when they released a limited-run demo of Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty on PS5 and Xbox Series X. Of the 80,000 people who beat it, 89% of them gave a positive rating to the overall demo.
Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty will be released on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and PC via Steam and Windows. It will also be available on Xbox Game Pass on console and PC on day 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.
Gaming laptops and I have a complicated relationship. One of my first gaming rigs was an Acer Predator that was already outdated when I bought it. I was a broke college kid, and that was the best I could afford. So trying out high-end gaming laptops is always fun. But ASUS' ROG Zephyrus G14 is a lot more than a laptop that can run AAA games. It is portable, so you're not lugging around a 2.5kg machine everywhere you go. It is built well, none of that plastic chassis, and can even function as a normal laptop outside of just gaming.
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.
