CD Projekt Red introduces the beasts Geralt will be facing with The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Monsters Video.

Geralt of Rivia has faced creatures from the darkest depths with a wide array of horrifying powers, claws, and teeth. During the first two titles of The Witcher series it feels as if Geralt has encountered all the nasty beasties the world has to offer. The Witcher 3 plans to prove us all wrong introducing all new monsters and areas for Geralt to tackle them. CD Projekt Red is giving us a sneak peak at a few of those creatures in a new “Monsters” video released this week.

The “Monsters” videos starts out simply enough by introducing fans to a few of the new and nasty creatures they’ll be hunting down as Geralt. Harpies, Drowners, Sirens – The Witcher 3 has no end to the monsters players will have to handle. The Witcher 3 is also ramping up the difficulty of those battles by opening up all new areas. Geralt will now be able to swim underwater to hunt down monsters like Sirens. These new monsters and areas are going to require all of Geralt’s abilities to overcome. That’s why CD Projekt Red is passing on hints and tips to players in the “Monsters” video.

They take viewers through a mini walkthrough on the best tools for the job when taking on certain monsters. It’s when the developers hit on the environments those monsters will be living in, that The Witcher 3 and its monsters truly begin to shine. The developers show that these creatures are not simply waiting around for Geralt to waltz into their territory. CD Projekt Red has once again stepped things up by creating a complex behavioral system for The Witcher 3’s environment.  The people, monsters, and environment will be more alive than anything gamers have experienced before.

Creatures will interact with each other, the environment, and NPC’s creating a living breathing ecosystem that players are visiting. Instead of being the center of attention, where enemies simply spawn in the area, when Geralt arrives they will react to his actions. Players will have to decide when to become involved in this digital society events; as always those choices will have a huge impact. In this new complex environment choices are sure to have a bigger impact than ever before in the Witcher series.

The competitive multiplayer spinoff of Crash Team Rumble, which will be available on both the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4, will debut on June 20. A closed beta for the game will be held in the coming weeks, and the good news that character unlocks won’t be dependent on Battle Pass progress was just revealed.

Publisher Activision made its intentions very clear in a lengthy blog post, writing, “New heroes and powers will be unlocked through in-game challenges rather than being connected to the Battle Pass because we want every player to have a balanced experience while enjoying the N. Sane fun that Crash Team Rumble has to offer.” “For those who wish to get a WUMP on the season’s newest looks, Battle Passes will solely reward cosmetic goods; however, cosmetics will still be earnable through participation in seasonal events.”

Those who preorder the platformer/battle royale mix can take part in a limited beta between April 20 and 24. For those who want to jump right in, online matches against other players and practice matches versus AI bots will be offered.

How does Crash Team Rumble strike you? Will you participate in the closed beta test?

Indie Not on PlayStation Wins BAFTA Game of the Year, Beating PS5, PS4’s Greatest Hits

God of War Ragnarok and Elden Ring were both beaten out for the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) award for Best Game by a tiny little independent title called Vampire Survivors, which isn’t even accessible on PlayStation systems. Do you really believe that?

Putting all lightheartedness aside, Vampire Survivors was something of a phenomenon in 2022, and you would have to be living under a rock (or live offline) to have missed it. It burst into prominence and eventually became a favorite among industry insiders. A fiendishly addictive fundamental gameplay loop hides beneath a deceptively simple exterior, earning developer Luca Galante, aka Poncle, this year’s BAFTA for Game Design as well as another honor.

There hasn’t been any news of the mega-hit coming to PlayStation as of yet, so there’s probably some sort of exclusivity agreement in place or anything else blocking it. Perhaps one day we will be granted access to it, but until then, console yourself with one of the numerous high-end games on our preferred platform, such as The Last of Us, which won Best Game back in 2014.

In slightly related news, Shuhei Yoshida, a PlayStation legend, received a BAFTA Fellowship, the highest honor bestowed by the organization.

What do you think about the Vampire Survivors’ victory—do you believe it was well-deserved or totally absurd?

While we felt Crusader Kings 3: Console Edition was fantastic when it was launched on the PS5 last year, we were only able to play the base game. We are incredibly grateful that the great Royal Court extension will be coming to consoles. This is a regal proclamation that we could not be more delighted to make.

It’s pretty difficult to switch back after you’ve experienced the conveniences and enhancements that Royal Court offers to the well-stocked table, as anyone who has played Crusader Kings 3 on PC knows. It’s not just for show; players will be able to use trophies and priceless pieces of art to adorn their throne room, which adds a minor RPG system to an already magnificently complex adventure.

If you haven’t already and like the basic Crusader King’s experience, we highly encourage you to give Royal Court a try. This expansion is the ideal reason to jump back in for another round of backroom maneuvering. Are you going to create your own royal court?
