Dark Horse has another wave of Witcher figures in the works. But whereas the most recent batch was inspired the Netflix series, this new trio of collectibles is based on The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
Check out the slideshow gallery below for a closer look at these three new figures, featuring Geralt of Rivia in his Toussaint Tourney armor, his nemesis Imlerith and his mentor Vesemir:
As with the previous Witcher releases, these aren't technically figures so much as PVC statues. Each one measures between 7.75 and 9 inches tall, depending on the pose, and all come with a 1.5-inch display base. The Imlerith figure also includes an alternate head piece, allowing you to display him either masked or unmasked.
The Geralt and Vesemir figures...

“If you want to enlarge someone's head so it's as big as the world and now you can't see what you're doing anymore,” says Sebastian Eriksson, CEO & Game Designer at Coffee Stain North, “it's your choice. Do it if you want to!”
That sentence should give you a pretty good idea of where the Goat Simulator 3 team’s (impossibly gigantic) heads are at when it comes to this long-awaited, somewhat surprising sequel. ("We thought that we had made Goat Simulator 2, so we decided to name it 3, but when we realised that we haven't done 2, it was too late. And here we are," deadpans Creative Director Santiago Ferrero during a panel on the game at BitSummit.)
Just like the original, anarchic fun is set to be the order of the day, but where that...
There's never been a better time to splash out on something Splatoon related. Firstly, we've got the much coveted amiibo set, and that's flanked by a paintfully good preorder price on that third game (the imaginatively titled Splatoon 3). Otherwise, today's list is a bit of a scattershot of seriously discounted stuff. Why even listen to my jibber-jabber when you can be scrolling and saving? Get amongst it.

Chances are good that the speakers built-in to your gaming laptop or PC monitor (if it even has speakers) aren’t pumping quality sound. If you’re playing games where sound cues mean life or death, rocking out to an album meant to get your heart thumping, or editing the audio on your latest YouTube video, you want a rich, dynamic sound to help make the most of your listening experience. That’s where computer speakers come in handy, blowing the built-in speakers on your devices out of the water.
With computer speakers, you often get a woofer and tweeter providing a full range of audio frequencies, which built-ins and headsets can’t offer. There are a plethora of options out there with a variety of features. Some speakers focus on...

Microids has released the first gameplay of the XIII remaster's remaster as it attempts to right the wrongs of the original's disastrous launch.
Three minutes of the SPADS Military Base sequence was released (below) giving fans a proper look (and listen) at the reimagined art style plus new HUD, sound design, and enhanced A.I.
The new footage certainly appears more connected to the original PlayStation 2 and GameCube game, bringing back a more cartoon-like art style that fans called for following the release of the first remaster. This 2020 version featured a more cell-shaded design blended with realism that was criticized for departing from XIII's graphic novel roots.
This new version - which will be available as a free update on...
Kratos’ journey into the mysteries of a new Norse world in 2018’s God of War takes both him and players to fantastical realms, pits us against mythical beasts, and introduces an epic cast. But at the heart of it all is Kratos’ relationship to his son Atreus. Learning what kind of father he should be in contrast to the person he was, and what kind of man he wants to raise Atreus to be, echoes in every step of his journey.
So it’s no surprise that one of Kratos’ most challenging moments comes when Atreus grows sick, and the only answer to his salvation lies in Helheim, where no known fire in the nine realms will burn. Kratos, of course, knows of a fire from another realm he can draw from, and in one incredible sequence we see him dig up...
A new Lord of the Rings game is on its way from Weta Workshop and Private Division, set as part of the literary universe, rather than that of the films.
Announced today via Twitter, the upcoming game takes place in Middle-earth, with Weta, who worked on the original Peter Jackson movies as well as Amazon’s The Rings of Power, teaming up with Take-Two’s Private Division publishing label.
“We’re thrilled to announce that we have partnered with Weta Workshop to publish a new game set in the literary Middle-earth universe of J.R.R. Tolkien,” revealed Private Division. “We look forward to sharing more about the project in the future.”
The untitled game, which is said to be in early development, is on its way sometime in 2024. However...
Marvel's Spider-Man developer Insomniac Games appeared to once have plans to include a multiplayer mode within the hit 2018 game.
As reported by PC Gamer, Twitter user @dniwetamp found various mentions of multiplayer within the files of Spider-Man's recent PC remaster, though it's unclear at what stage of development this mode was it.
In the tweet (below), the files reference what appears to be a competitive mode where two players, playing as Peter Parker and Miles Morales, would compete to be the "Superior Spider-Man". What's called the "winner message" reads either as "Peter Parker is the Superior Spider-Man" or "Miles Morales is the Superior Spider-Man".
More explicitly, further files listed under a multiplayer menu list Player...
Spider-Man Remastered's PC release has proved successful for Sony, becoming the second biggest PlayStation Studios Steam launch so far, falling only behind God of War.
As reported by Eurogamer, Spider-Man's release on Steam has outperformed Horizon Zero Dawn and Days Gone, reaching an all-time peak of 66,436 players according to SteamDB. God of War's PC debut saw an all-time peak of 73,529 players, while Zero Dawn and Days Gone achieved 56,557 and 27,450 respectively.
It's a good sign for PlayStation's move into PC publishing. Sony has recently purchased PC porting specialist Nixxes and established a new PlayStation PC label as part of a push to move the company's much-love exclusives to Steam. The company expects to make $300...
A new MultiVersus advert hints at two new additions – Black Adam and Stripe from Gremlins.
The advert, which has been shared across social media, shows off some new artwork for the hit online platform fighter, with DC’s Black Adam and the iconic Stripe from Gremlins appearing as part of the game’s line-up.
To date, neither of these characters has been confirmed by MultiVersus developers.
A recently leaked roster of upcoming characters mentioned both Black Adam and Stripe, which now gives a certain legitimacy to the rest of the list. Black Adam is about to make his big screen debut in the upcoming solo film starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson as the titular DC antihero.
Meanwhile, Stripe was the main antagonist from the first...
Squirrel With a Gun is an upcoming Steam game built in Unreal Engine 5 that has taken the internet by storm because it stars a squirrel with... well... a gun.
Squirrel with a Gun is being developed by Dan DeEntremont, and early footage of the game showcases the titular squirrel running through a town with normal-sized guns chasing unsuspecting people and taking down Agents using various weapons.
The game will also let you parry attacks to disarm enemies and use the recoil of the guns to fly through the air and cross big gaps you wouldn't be able to cross with your squirrel skills alone. If you are feeling extra mischievous, you can even rob the residents of your neighborhood of their phones, cake, and more.
Squirrel With a Gun's...
Let's break the seal on this week in style with some bargains. A few discounts that have caught my beady eye include an optimal Prime price on LEGO Optimus Prime. Xboxers ought to acquire the Middle-earth Shadow Bundle (two games with the utterly orc-some Nemesis system). Lastly, sportsballers should invest in the cheapest prices I've seen for FIFA 23 and NBA2K23. The latter features MJ challenges, and a dedicated 'Take That Personal' button which increases your stats 6000%. (No, not really.)

Modder Kashiiera has created a wonderful new mod that replaces Kazuma Kiryu and Goro Majima with Halo's Master Chief and the Arbiter.
As reported by Eurogamer, the mod in question - Master Chief From Halo 3 - is available on NexusMods for anyone to try, and it allows you to play through the entirety of Yakuza 0 as Master Chief Petty Officer John-117, one of the most iconic figures in gaming.
Kashiiera shared a bunch of clips of the mod in action on Twitter, and it not only shows Master Chief fighting his way through Kamurocho instead of Kazuma Kiryu, but one especially delightful video shows Master Chief and the Arbiter dancing to Friday Night instead of Kiryu and Majima.
The Arbiter can also be seen fighting in the streets of...
Following PUBG: Battlegrounds officially going free-to-play on January 12, 2022, parent company Krafton has revealed that it has consistently seen a "steady inflow of more than 80,000 new users per day."
The figures were detailed in Krafton's preliminary earnings announcement for the first half of 2022, where it also shared that "average revenue per user (ARPU) across all platforms increased more than 20% QoQ." It also noted that international markets outside of South Korea accounted for 94% of PUBG's revenue during Q2 2022.
PUBG Mobile has also been performing well for Krafton, as it currently ranks "second in sales among global mobile games" and helped drive the company's mobile business revenue to $550.7 million.

In the opening moments of Obscurant, I don’t immediately understand why what seems to be a typical top-down adventure game is placed on a grid. Why every step the android-like, amnesiac protagonist takes through the desolate sand of the first desert area feels laborious and rhythmic, as if they have to pause and think before each one.
Then, I meet the “Little Round Guys.”
They are strange, robotic little creatures, not unlike the most basic machine enemies in Nier: Automata in shape. They walk back and forth in a pattern – two steps in one direction, then back two steps the way they came, then repeat. After a few cycles of this, they pause in the middle of their path to recharge for five beats, before lighting up again and resuming...
If you missed the days of open-world arcade racing, get ready for Wreckreation, a new racer from veterans behind games like Need for Speed and Burnout.
As announced during today’s THQ Nordic showcase, Wreckreation is a new arcade racing game set in a 400 square kilometers (~155 square miles) world where you can design your own crazy race tracks for you and your friends to drive on.
While fans of racing, drifting, and crashing will find plenty of things to do in MixWorld, the true appeal lies in creating ginormous race tracks full of loops, spirals, traps, and more. Design tracks yourself or together with friends online before trying out each other’s courses.
Along with the huge world, players will be able to customize their cars...
Alone in the Dark, the classic survival horror series, returns courtesy of Pieces Interactive.
As announced during today’s THQ showcase, the publisher is reviving Alone in the Dark after acquiring the franchise from Atari SA in 2018.

Portkey Games has announced that Hogwarts Legacy will be released on February 10, 2023.
The newly announced date, posted to Twitter, means that Hogwarts Legacy has been pushed back by several weeks; while we were never given a concrete release date, the original plan was to release Holiday 2022.
The delay affects the PlayStation, Xbox, and PC versions. The Nintendo Switch version launch date "will be revealed soon", the official Twitter account promises.
"The team is excited for you to play, but we need a little more time to deliver the best possible game experience," the tweet says.
While we've seen a few gameplay trailers for Hogwarts Legacy, there still have been no hands-on preview sessions or extended looks at the game. We...
D-Pad Studio, creators of the 2016 gem Owlboy, have annnounced their next project: Vikings on Trampolines. It's in development for both PC and consoles, and it's a pixel-art, 1-4 player co-op side-scrolling adventure whose primary traversal mechanic is, as the name implies, trampolines. Check out the reveal trailer above and the first screenshots in the gallery below.
The story mode puts you on a quest to stop the villain Balloonie and rescue King VI (with numerous boss fights along the way, D-Pad Studio promises), while the party-game-esque competitive Versus modes will pit up to four friends against each other.
“Vikings on Trampolines began life as one of our small experimental projects, which won the first Nordic Games Indie...
EA has defended its use of lootboxes in FIFA 23 by calling the option to spend money on Ultimate Team packs "fair" and "a part of FIFA that players love".
Speaking to Eurogamer, EA said that its FIFA Ultimate Team mode - in which players can earn packs that may or may not contain good players through gameplay, or buy them using real money - is an integral part of the game that fans of the long-running football franchise want to play.
"We wholeheartedly believe that Ultimate Team and FUT Packs, which have been part of the game for more than a decade, are a part of FIFA that players love," EA said. "Fans love that the game reflects the real-world excitement and strategy of building and managing a squad. Giving players the choice to...
A veteran Capcom producer who worked on several Resident Evil Games is leaving the company after 27 years to join Chinese mobile game developer and tech firm NetEase Games.
Hiroyuki Kobayashi announced the career shift in a tweet (below), in which he confirmed his new role as a producer at NetEase and said more details would follow at a later date.
"After serving 27 years with gratitude, I have departed from Capcom on March 31, 2022, and will officially be joining NetEase Games as a producer," Kobayashi said. "I will strive to continuously create more enjoyable entertainment experiences for everyone at this new company, in this new era."

The anti-cheating legal battle prompted by Bungie has escalated as cheats company AimJunkies has accused the Destiny 2 developer's actions of being "ridiculous and absurd".
As reported on Torrentfreak, AimJunkies has denied that its Destiny 2 cheats are illegal or harmful and that Bungie has taken on a "bully mentality" because it is incapable of governing its own players.
Bungie filed the lawsuit last year, saying that AimJunkies violated its copyright laws by producing cheats, but the case was dismissed in May as U.S. District Court Judge Thomas Zilly said there wasn't enough evidence to prove any copyright infringements. Bungie then reworked the accusation, however, and another complaint was filed a few weeks later.
"We believe...
The upcoming Victorian-style fantasy game Nightingale has been delayed.
A statement from developer Inflexion Games posted to Twitter revealed that Nightingale has been delayed until “early 2023” in order to upgrade to Unreal Engine 5. Unfortunately, no specific release date has yet been set.
“We’ve made the difficult decision to delay Nightingale’s Early Access release to the first half of 2023,” Inflexion revealed. “We’ll have more news on specific timing at a later stage.”
The delay to Nightingale’s early access release has been made for two very good reasons.
“The first is an upgrade to Unreal Engine 5,” the studio revealed. “After reviewing the potential UE5 has to offer, we decided on upgrading now rather than waiting until...
One of my favourite gaming events each year is BitSummit. Held in Kyoto, it sees developers from all over Japan - and indeed, the world - descend upon the former capital to showcase what they’re working on. This year saw the return of a physical show, and I spent two full days playing games on the show floor. Even so, there was too much for one person to tackle, so what follows is a selection of the games that most jumped out at me, with apologies to the projects I didn’t get to. Oh, and I should also note that I’m not including games that have already been released - upcoming titles only.

Thank your own personal deity—possibly The Sandman—it's Friday! Let's stock you up with a bunch of weekend solutions that'll beat the hell out of seeing people, being outside or doing...stuff. Personally, I think you ought to swoop down from your rafters to secure all of the Batman games. Alternatively, ante up bigger and get Spider-Man Remastered on PC (out tomorrow). Both franchises will make you feel like a super hero without stretching your budget for spandex tailoring costs.
