May 21, 2022 Ellie Irwin News, Reviews 0

This week we got a little taste of what to expect in June with the announcement of several games like Arma Reforger, Among the Trolls, Miasma Chronicles, The Valiant, GreedFall II: The Dying World, Marvel Snap, and WRC Generations. In addition to new titles we also have delays, including Kerbal Space Program 2 and Tchia for early 2023. Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown will also not be available until next year. On the other hand, Fall Guys has announced its move to free-to-play.

From Sony we have the list of the games that will be present in the new PlayStation Plus and thanks to this we have discovered Ubisoft + Classics, a new subscription included in the Extra and Premium options. For Nintendo this has been a very quiet week but with remarkable news: Saudi Arabia has bought 5% of the company’s shares for 2,855 million euros. For those interested in free games, the Epic Games Store has started its sales by giving away Borderlands 3.

In technology, an Acer event has left us with a carousel of news that includes new 27-inch IPS gaming monitors, the Predator Helios 300 SpatialLabs laptop, and a Swift 3 with an OLED panel. For its part, Amazon has updated the Fire 7 tablet, which now has USB-C and up to 10 hours of battery life. On the Internet, the purchase of Twitter has become a soap opera starring Elon Musk, while Disney + has detailed that the subscription with advertising will show 4 minutes of ads for each hour of content.
