2K Games Advent

In the lead up to E3 2015, developers are stoking the fires of hype. 2K Games has taken the opportunity to tease a mysterious new sci-fi project called Advent. It began with a couple of very interesting tweets from the developer’s official Twitter account. “Luxury for the privileged few is outdated. This is the future of urban living,” the first tweet said.

It appears this future is set to be a dystopia. Both tweets include images of futuristic cities, overlaid with text inviting people to move in. “Move in today and start living in the world of tomorrow!” But then a more sinister image flashes over it, warning us about the nightmares of this world. “Move in today and fear the world of tomorrow!”

2K Games then posted a link to a mysterious website. Adventfuture.org continues the tease, telling us it’s “Building a brighter future together,” and “The ADVENT Administration strives to create a world free from hunger, pain, sickness, and war. We believe in a global community of happy and comfortable citizens.” There’s also some sinister red text that flashes up every now and then to say, “The ADVENT is lying to you,” or “We are still watching.” So maybe the ADVENT had their site hacked? They should probably do something about that.

“Advent gene therapy will free you from illness,” the site says. “Our citizens no longer fear the diseases and disabilities that plagued past generations. A complex and cutting edge system of DNA splicing has led to cures not only for the viruses and infections that for millennia haunted us, but for mental illnesses as well. Come discover an Illness free world with us.” Sounds marvelous – where do I sign?

It’s not entirely clear exactly what Advent will be. Although it’s possibly a new XCOM or Bioshock title, what seems most likely (and exciting) is that this is an entirely new IP altogether. All we know for certain at this point is that Advent is going to be about a futuristic metropolis that’s got a dark side.

2K actually teased a new triple-A title earlier this month in its quarterly earnings call. “Throughout the coming year, we will continue to execute our proven strategy of launching a select array of the highest-quality titles, led by new annual releases of NBA 2K and WWE 2K; Battleborn, a groundbreaking new intellectual property from Gearbox Software,” parent company Take-Two Interactive said. It also teased “a soon-to-be announced new triple-A title from 2K” was on the way.

Rhiannon likes video games and she likes writing, so she decided to combine them. As well as writing about video games, she also belts out the occasional science fiction or fantasy story, edits videos, and eats strawberry oreos. In that order.

While Sony may not classify Gran Turismo 7 as a live-service game, the team at Polyphony Digital certainly approaches it with a similar mindset. The game continues to impress with every new update, and although v1.44 may be smaller compared to previous versions, it still manages to enhance the already extensive content of this simulation racer.

The update, now available worldwide, introduces three new cars: the Audi R8 Coupé V10 Plus ’16, the Lamborghini Urus ’18, and the Toyota GT-One (TS020) ’99. Furthermore, it introduces three fresh events to World Circuits, an extra menu to conquer in the GT Café single-player campaign, and a collection of livery stickers inspired by the upcoming Highspeed Étoile anime, set to debut next week in Japan.

If you’re not already acquainted with Highspeed Étoile, you can watch a trailer right here. “Sony has announced that a collection of 26 stickers, consisting of 8 title logos and 18 main character stickers, will be made available for a limited time,” stated Sony on the PS Blog.

This author has consistently praised the realistic portrayal of tennis in TopSpin 4. After more than a decade, we are thrilled to witness the release of TopSpin 2K25, which expands upon the success of its renowned predecessor. This gameplay video provides a comprehensive overview of the features discussed in our recent preview while also incorporating relevant footage to enhance understanding.

The series’ swing system sets it apart from arcade-style games like Virtua Tennis, as it requires players to charge up their shots in a different way. In order to succeed, timing is crucial, and fortunately, a new meter above your player will assist you in achieving that. Surfaces have their own distinct characteristics, such as clay, where you’ll experience a noticeable amount of sliding.

The game ensures that every player has a distinct set of animations, adding a touch of individuality to each competitor. The courts, found in all Grand Slams, possess a remarkable amount of individuality and charm. It is mentioned in the video that with each in-game season, players can expect a plethora of additional content, such as animation packs. This indicates that there will be plenty to anticipate even after the game’s initial release.
