Risk Of Rain 2 Leaves Early Access This August, Price Increase And New Updates Coming
Developer Hopoo Games has announced that Risk of Rain 2 will leave Steam Early Access on August 11. This 1.0 release–which is dubbed the Launch Update and was previously delayed–will introduce a bunch of new content, including a new playable character, an added final boss and stage, dedicated serves, and more.
The Captain, Risk of Rain 2’s 10th playable character, will join the roster when the game launches this August. Voted by 60,000 community members, The Captain brings his high-ranking authority and lethal shotgun-rifle combo that stuns targets after charging to the roguelike battlefield. He can command the dropship to send in beacons and probes to provide either armor buffs or healing zones for him and his allies.
In addition to the new character, Risk of Rain 2 will also see a brand-new stage: The Moon. This location, where you’ll battle against ferocious lunar monsters, will also house the game’s true final boss.
Splatoon 2 Is Holding Another Splatfest Next Month, With More On The Way
Nintendo is celebrating Splatoon 2‘s third anniversary by announcing another Splatfest for the game. The event takes place next month, and like May’s bonus one-off Splatfest, it’s a repeat of a previous theme, this one asking the age-old question: which came first, the chicken or the egg?
The event kicks off at 3 PM PT / 6 PM ET on August 21 and runs for 48 hours, concluding at 3 PM PT / 6 PM ET on August 23. This particular Splatfest was previously held in March 2018 and saw Team Chicken emerge victorious, so egg devotees have a chance to rewrite history.
We’re getting into the anniversary spirit & taking another crack at a classic #Splatfest question! It’s your second chance to answer the conundrum of which came first, the Chicken or the Egg?
Get ready to pick your side when this 48-hour Splatfest begins 8/21 at 3pm PT! pic.twitter.com/1H8yhS1MLO— Nintendo of America (@NintendoAmerica) July 21, 2020
To participate in the Splatfest, you’ll first need to go to the terminal in Inkopolis Square and choose a side. After you’ve joined a team, jump into Turf War matches during the event and try to rack up wins for your side. The winning team will be determined by popularity and win percentage. Everyone who participates will take home a handful of Super Sea Snails, which are good for adding new ability slots to a piece of gear or re-rolling one that has already been maxed out.

Ghost Of Tsushima Actor Is Very Pleased To See His Own Butt In The Game
Ghost of Tsushima is a game about a lot of things–honor, sacrifice, the political climate of feudal Japan, and one man’s butt. That man is Jin Sakai, whose is voiced by and modeled on actor Daisuke Tsuji.
Tsuji has been playing the game on his Twitch channel, and a perfect moment has been captured during it–the first time the actor encountered his own naked butt in-game. When Jin visits an in-game onsen, the camera briefly shows off the character’s bare butt–and Tsuji gets pretty excited.
The video, clipped by Twitch user ABSP2006, shows the moment in all its glory. Appropriately, the clip has been named “THICC”.
Marvel Is Launching A Free Docuseries This Week
Marvel has just dropped a surprise announcement that it has a brand new non-fiction show, Marvel’s Storyboards, streaming for free from Thursday July 23. The series features Marvel Entertainment’s creative director Joe Quesada as he interviews famous storytellers of all kinds, following them to their favourite haunts around New York City and beyond.
Unsurprisingly, the show will feature Marvel-linked storytellers such as The Life Of Captain Marvel writer Margaret Stohl, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D’s Natalia Cordova-Buckley, and Wolverine actor Hugh Jackman. Storyboards will also follow people who fit a less traditional definition of the ‘storyteller’ term, however, including former Olympic figure skater Johnny Weir and high-altitude mountaineer Ed Viesturs.
“Whether you choose to speak through your words or through your actions, we are all storytellers with something to share,” Quesada explained. “With all of us now spending so much more time at home, we felt it was more important than ever to make these inspirational stories accessible to as many people as possible and share them with the world.”
