We learned a lot of new information about Monster Hunter Wilds at Tokyo Game Show 2024 during the Capcom Online Program and extended Scarlet Forest gameplay stream, including the reveal of the foul Congala and fowl Yian Kut-Ku. Both monsters are returning to the series after a long absence. Here’s a quick breakdown of everything we’ve learned with comments from the developers. The Fanged Beast Congalala, a Farting Pink Ape Technically, we could’ve made an educated guess that Congalala would be returning to the series thanks to the distinctly pink armor the hunter was wearing in the official Dual Blades showcase. But it was finally officially confirmed during the Scarlet Forest gameplay stream , where the developers said fans have wanted Congalala to return for quite some time. Congalala is a Fanged Beast first introduced in Monster Hunter Freedom 2 for PSP (at least in the US). Congalala resembles a gorilla, except it has striking pink fur and a tail that’s often holding a mushro...

Horizon developer Guerrilla Games’ next project is the live service Horizon Online project, Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier has said. Schreier told Spawn Wave’s Spawncast the promised Horizon 3 "might be a ways off," however. “Guerrilla is an interesting place, because they’re working on this Horizon online game that... I’m not sure how many people want that,” Schreier said, raising questions about Guerrilla’s strategy. “They’ve got this [Horizon Zero Dawn] remaster coming and the Lego game [Lego Horizon Adventures] coming. What happens if neither of those hit, and it turns out there isn't a ton of interest in Horizon anymore? Are they still gonna be doing the online game? There are a lot of questions around their strategy and around that online game that I certainly have.” Sony’s live service push has seen a hit in Arrowhead’s PC and PlayStation 5 co-op shooter Helldivers 2 , which is the fastest-selling PlayStation Studios game of all time, but Firewalk’s hero ...

Just days after Nintendo sued developer Pocketpair for alleged patent infringement, Pokemon-with-guns game Palworld has appeared at Sony's State of Play in a surprising shadow drop: the game is out on PS5 at last, starting today. The monster battling adventure materialized during the State of Play today featuring a player character cheekily designed to look rather like Horizon: Zero Dawn's Aloy, complete with a team of pals. We didn't really see any new game details in the trailer, but it concluded with the message that the game is out today on PS5. Palworld's release on PS5 comes just after the news that Nintendo and The Pokemon Company are filing a lawsuit against developer Pocketpair, alleging that Palworld infringes on multiple of their owned patent rights. While fans had speculated for months that the company would take Pocketpair to court, speculation largely revolved around the similarities of some of Palworld's monster designs to Pokemon's. The ac...

The developer of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is in talks with Sony over the game’s potential support for the upcoming PlayStation 5 Pro . PS5 Pro, due out in November priced $700, has an AI-powered upscaling feature called PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) that can automatically improve the image clarity of games. In an interview with IGN, Saber Interactive Chief Creative Officer Tim Willits said he’s hopeful the PS5 Pro will improve Space Marine 2 by default via PSSR. “What I'm excited about is the AI upsampling of the graphics,” he said. “So I have my kickass AMD machine, a kickass Nvidia machine right there. And the game looks f***ing great. But when I play on the PS5, I play performance.” Space Marine 2 has two display modes for PS5 and Xbox Series X: 'Quality' offers higher resolution, a stable 30 frames per second, and better graphics, whereas 'Speed' drops the resolution in a bid to hit 60fps. However, Space Marine 2 has performance i...
