Fire Emblem Fates DLC Scenario Invisible Kingdom Now Available, Trailer Released

The latest entry of the Fire Emblem series, Fire Emblem Fates, comes with a lot of new features not found in previous entries of the series. Among them are the three different story paths that include different story events, different characters, different maps and more. Two of the three scenarios are available in the two different Fire Emblem Fates versions while the third is only going to be available as DLC.
Earlier today the Fire Emblem Fates official Japanese website has received a new update, revealing more on this third story scenario where the player won’t align with any of the two main kingdoms of the story. The third story scenario is called the Invisible Kingdom and it’s available for purchase right now on the Japanese eShop. A new trailer has been released for it and you can check it out right below.
This week’s issue of the Japanese magazine Famitsu includes a really handy Fire Emblem Fates skills guide, which helps players in learning what skills do and in creating the perfect combination to customize characters and make them more powerful. The Fire Emblem Fates skill system works slightly differently than in Fire Emblem: Awakening so it’s not strange to learn that some players are a bit confused by it. The new issue of Famitsu has hit Japanese stands today so we will surely learn more about the matter very soon.
Fire Emblem Fates is going to be released sometime next year in North America and Europe exclusively on Nintendo 3DS as two different versions, which include a different story path with different enemies, maps, characters and more. More on the Western version of the game will surely be coming soon so stay tuned for all the latest news on the new entry of the successful Fire Emblem series.

Embracer Job Losses Continue as New World Interactive is Hit

New World Interactive, the developer of the Insurgency series of tactical first-person shooters, has laid off an unknown number of employees as part of Embracer Group’s comprehensive restructuring plan.
Saber Interactive, which acquired New World in 2020, told Eurogamer that the studio had not closed. However, it confirmed an unknown number of layoffs.
Embracer says it is “actively working to fill existing open roles” with impacted employees and will provide severance packages. “Saber also assures that development will continue on Insurgency: Sandstorm, as well as on unannounced future projects,” it said.
Over 900 employees were laid off in an “agonizing” but “necessary” process. As always, we hope all victims recover.

Sony: We Need Non-Gamers to Access Our Content

Sony wants non-console owners to access its content beyond its PlayStation-walled garden. This strategy has been slowly implemented: the company has commissioned TV and movie adaptations of its biggest franchises, ported select software to the PC, and launched a mobile gaming division.
In an interview with Nikkei, head Hideaki Nishino explained how this strategy can boost console sales: We want to use movies and dramas to get non-gamers to try PlayStation games. Sales of The Last of Us increased during the live-action drama.
When HBO’s adaptation aired, our The Last of Us content skyrocketed, so we can understand its impact. As a PlayStation fan site, we support this strategy because we want to reach as many people as possible, so if Sony can appeal to non-console owners, that’s a win-win.
More PlayStation users is better, in our opinion.

New PS Plus Essential Game Has Great Free DLC

PowerWash Simulator is one of this month’s PS Plus Essentials, but before you start scrubbing, check out the PS Store. The game has been well supported on PS5 and PS4 with free DLC packs based on Square Enix titles since its release at the start of the year.
Free Final Fantasy VII and Tomb Raider expansions let you clean Croft Manor and Seventh Heaven. The free DLC packs add 10 levels, and the paid ones add more.
Two more Back to the Future and SpongeBob SquarePants expansions cost £6.49 or $7.99 each. You can then scrub the Bikini Bottom and the DeLorean.
The Midgar Special Pack for PowerWash Simulator was another reason to use the cleaning kit. “It doesn’t add much, but getting close to FF7’s props and environments is fun. It offers a fresh take on the beloved title that will please both sides of this collaboration.”
