Dynasty Warriors 9 Empires has been announced for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One, and PC via Steam. Unlike previous cross-generation Dynasty Warriors games, the PC port will be at the same level as the next-gen editions of the game. It will arrive in early 2021.

The Empires sub-series takes Dynasty Warriors’ ‘1 vs. 1,000’ action game set-up, and places it within a strategy game structure, seeing players take on the role of a hero, and either aiding existing factions to conquer medieval China – or establish their own.

Dynasty Warriors 9 was the first open-world installment in the series and, while 9 Empires will stick with its traditional strategic structure, producer Akihiro Suzuki tells IGN that the freedom of approach offered in the mainline game will be replicated in this spin-off, saying, “we are incorporating a variety of strategies in the siege battles.”

The game will also support 2-player online co-op. The Nintendo Switch version – which will be the first Dynasty Warriors game specifically built for Switch – will exclusively support local wireless co-op play.

9 Empires will also include an “enriched” edit function to let you create your own officer. Suzuki explains that, “The facial editing will allow for more customisation compared to previous Empires games,” and compares it to Nioh 2’s character creation features.

No features will be unique to the next-gen editions of the game, but players should expect, “improvements on the next-gen versions in the visual quality, framerate stability and crowded chaotic gameplay.”

Borat’s upcoming sequel will officially be titled Borat: Gift of Pornographic Monkey to Vice Premiere Mikhael Pence to Make Benefit Recently Diminished Nation of Kazakhstan, according to a now-removed listing that appeared on the Writer’s Guild of America West’s website.

While the title may be a mouthful, it seems to be par for the course as a follow up to 2006’s Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan.

[widget path=”global/article/imagegallery” parameters=”albumSlug=movie-sequels-that-took-forever&captions=true”]

The official listing also details the team behind the sequel. Sacha Baron Cohen will reprise his role as the outlandish reporter Borat, with story credits also going to Anthony Hines (writer for the original Borat, Bruno, and Da Ali G Show), Dan Swimmer (writer for Cohen’s Who Is America series on Showtime), and Nina Pedrad (writer for 30 Rock and New Girl).

After footage of Sacha Baron Cohen’s titular character surfaced on YouTube, it was discovered that a sequel was in the works. The filming in Los Angeles has allegedly wrapped, and it is said to be being screened by industry insiders with a possible launch “prior to the election in an effort to reach younger voters,” according to an earlier report by Collider.

No plot details are known at this time, but judging by its title, it’s possible current Vice President Mike Pence makes an appearance. Here’s to hoping there’s some new lines to quote so people can finally stop yelling “my wife” in 2020. It’s already hard enough as it is.

Fortnite’s third birthday event is live in the battle royale. Players can hop in the game to complete a handful of challenges to unlock special rewards and earn experience. Two of the challenges require you to traverse the map to find different birthday cakes. This guide will help you dance in front of different birthday cakes with ease.

Where Are The Birthday Cake Locations?

Birthday cakes are scattered all over the map, with most in named locations. You’ll need to dance around ten of them by using an emote. Cakes are usually near the center of a named location. Be careful though, as everyone is going for the cake, so most of these landing spots are quite dangerous. Here’s a map with cake locations:

Once you find a cake and dance next to it, eat the small slices of cake around it to get shield. This will help you complete another challenge: Gain health or shield from birthday cake. There is a limited amount of cake pieces per game though, so you’ll need to get to a cake before anyone else does to eat it. Here’s what it looks like in-game:

It’s no surprise that both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S preorder launches were disastrous. There was a divide on the internet: those agonizing over bots and refresh buttons, and those who didn’t even bother because it’s all too expensive. And while this sounds like it could be any console launch, it wasn’t–because we are in a pandemic.

Both the high-end PS5 and Series X consoles cost $499.99, but only the latter currently has flexible payment options. GameStop is working on three different payment options, which include layaway and monthly payments. Adding onto that, the return of Microsoft’s economical All Access plan allows customers to choose a next-generation Xbox console of their choice bundled with Game Pass Ultimate for a monthly payment over 24 months. This service allows members cross-platform access to a library containing over 100 games, with some even playable on their respective launch days. Between GameStop’s payment installation plan and Microsoft’s bundle, it’s a wonder that these payment plans weren’t implemented earlier.

Why is this a big deal? Putting it simply: COVID-19 has dealt a massive blow to the world in every sense, and not everyone can front money for a next-gen console. With massive layoffs, reduced salaries, and overall tense economic conditions, the justification for dropping half a thousand dollars in one go isn’t just anxiety-inducing–it can be downright terrifying. According to USA Today, roughly 833,000 more Americans filed for unemployment in just the last week of August alone, bumping the total number of people filing for some form of government benefits up to 29.6 million. Depending on your financial situation, a $500 expense could make or break your month. And that’s in addition to the fact that $70 games could become the standard price point for PS5 and Series X games.

Learn more details about the major gangs that rule the different districts of Night City in the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077.

In 2013, console makers Microsoft and Sony looked toward a future they thought was going to completely change the video game industry. Like Nintendo had the year before with the Wii U, the other two platform holders tried to incorporate big new technology ideas into their new consoles, adapting to trends such as touchscreens, mobile app integration, motion control, voice control, and the power of cloud integration. With the Xbox One, Microsoft envisioned a completely new game console that would power your entire living room and tried to completely change the game with its hardware and capabilities.

As we near the release of the ninth generation of consoles and the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5, though, things are very different. Most of the ideas that defined the Xbox One when it was announced have disappeared from the console, and new elements that were initially discounted have come to help define it. We’re looking back at some of the best and worst tech ideas of the Xbox One, from the ill-fated Kinect to the about-face that made backward compatibility possible. The Xbox One’s story is a strange one, and the console has gone through some drastic changes–largely for the better.

Be sure to also check out our rundown of the best and worst PlayStation 4 tech and hardware as well.
