New PS Now Games For August Include Two Big Names
Sony is always adding new selections to its PlayStation Now streaming service, and these are the new games for August. As with July, we only have three new games, but you’ve likely heard of all of them.
First, there’s Hitman 2, the latest entry in the long-running series, which puts you in the expensive leather loafers of Agent 47 as he assassinates target after target across the globe. Second is Dead Cells, the indie powerhouse that combines Castlevania and Rogue Legacy to create a uniquely punishing (but compelling) roguelike experience. Rounding out this month is Greedfall, an action-RPG that allows you to reshape an entire island according to your own whims.
Sony’s PS Now service is the company’s answer to Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass. It’s a subscription service that allows you to stream or download games, which also makes the games playable on PC. It comes in at $10 a month. PS Now should not be confused with PS Plus, a monthly subscription that allows players to utilize online multiplayer, which also comes with several free games per month. The free PS Plus games for August are the goofy multiplayer game Fall Guys and the campaign for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

Warzone Will Add Content From Future Call Of Duty Games
Call of Duty: Warzone will continue to add in content from future annual Call of Duty entries, developer Infinity Ward has confirmed. The free-to-play battle royale will be updated over time and become tied to new entries in the Call of Duty series.
In an interview with GamesRadar, Infinity Ward design director Geoff Smith explained that Warzone was always designed as a self-contained product and one that could be altered around the progression of the series’ latest entries.
“Although Warzone is very closely tied to Modern Warfare, it was designed from the beginning as its own game,” explained Smith. “As the game continues to be updated over time, it will evolve and become tied to other games in the Call of Duty universe.”

FIFA 21 Preview – Express Yourself
The world we live in today is very different to the one we occupied 10 months ago when FIFA 20 launched. Football stadiums are empty aside from essential personnel, most European leagues have only just wrapped up their seasons after being forced into a three month break, and August signals the return of the Champions League–albeit in an international tournament-style format. Even Manchester City have only just begun spending monstrous fees on defenders in what is a belated transfer window.
Despite all of these delays and disruptions to not just the football calendar, but everyday life, too, FIFA 21 will roll around in the latter months of the year just like every other FIFA has before it. There’s an odd semblance of comfort in this fact, especially when nothing else quite makes sense right now. It also helps that this year’s game is shaping up quite nicely.
That’s not to say the FIFA 21 preview build we got our hands on suggests that this is a substantial leap forward for the series, however. Significant advancements will hopefully come to fruition over the next fews years with the powerful hardware of both the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X in the developer’s hands. There’s still some life stirring in the current gen, though, as FIFA 21 hones in on refining the moment to moment gameplay with some welcome tweaks and additions.
The Boys Season 2’s Final Trailer Teases Bloody Superhero Mayhem
The Boys was one of 2019’s best news show–a subversive, funny take on the superhero genre that delivered drama, dark satirical humor, and bone-crunching violence in equal measure. The second season is almost here, and the final trailer has been released.
The latest trailer puts the focus on main character Billy Butcher, as well as introducing us to Stormfront, one of the show’s new superheroes. Butcher and his team of superhero-hating mercenaries are in hiding, but he is making plans to fight back and rescue his wife. Stormfront is a powerful new supe, who knows how to use the media and is making big plans for the world’s superheroes, putting her at odds with Homelander. Oh, and there’s a giant exploding fish in there too. Check it out below:
The Boys stars Karl Urban as Butcher, Aya Cash as Stormfront, and Antony Starr as Homelander, and the cast also includes Jack Quaid, Laz Alonso, Tomer Capon, Karen Fukuhara. It’s based on the comic book by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, and the first three episodes hit Amazon Video on September 4. The remaining five will then be released weekly.

Skyrim Modders Have Transformed The RPG Into Sekiro
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is a lot of things on a lot of platforms, but it isn’t a Sengoku-era stealth-action game developed by Hidetaka Miyazaki and From Software. At least, that was the case until modders started recreating Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice in Bethesda’s seminal RPG.
YouTuber LowEnder has put together a video showing what Skyrim looks like with over 100 Sekiro mods installed. The protagonist Wolf is instantly recognisable, as is the Japanese setting. There’s some sneaking mixed in with sword combat, and while it obviously can’t capture the fluidity of Sekiro, it’s impressive that you can turn Skyrim into a familiar facsimile of From Software’s fast-paced action game.
The Shinobi Combat–A Sekiro Combat Mod is the most apparent mod on display in the video, introducing blocking, parrying, dodge rolls, posture damage, and deathblows to the game, alongside some flashy katana-based swordplay. The Shinobi Tools Mod is also in effect, adding some of Ghost’s prosthetic attachments like the Lazulite Shuriken, Flame Vent, and Mist Raven. LowEnder doesn’t mention all of the 100+ mods they use in the video, but if you want to have a go at replicating Sekiro in Skyrim for yourself, they do provide the most important ones.
