The Witcher 3 Blood And Wine To Include Characters That Players Have Read About In The Books

With the Hearts of Stone expansion now out, fans of The Witcher 3, the latest role playing game developed by CD Projekt RED now available on consoles and PC in all regions, are anticipating the release of the next expansion for the game, called Blood and Wine, launching sometime next year. We still don’t know all that much about the upcoming The Witcher 3 expansion but something new on it has emerged online recently.
During PAX Australia 2015 The Witcher 3 narrative designer Mateusz Tomaskiewicz has confirmed that players can expect to meet some characters that they have read about in the books written by Andrzej Sapkowski in the expansion. As Blood and Wine will be set in the duchy of Touissant, there’s a very good chance that we may meet the duchess Anna Henrietta, the sorceress Fringilla Vigo, with whom Geralt had a brief romantic relationship, and a few other characters.
Last month more details on what The Witcher 3 Blood and Wine expansion may include have surfaced online. A fan asked on The Witcher forums about the possible inclusion of Strigas, Manticores, Bruxas and other monsters mentioned in The Witcher 3 and Community Manager Marcin Momot stated that he knows already which new types will be included in the expansion but it’s going to be a while before they get confirmed. A while back it’s also been stated that The Witcher 3 Blood and Wine may include new horse breeds.
The Witcher 3 and its first expansion Hearts of Stone are now available in all regions on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. The Blood and Wine expansion will be released sometime next year on all formats and all regions. We will keep you updated on the expansion as well as on any future update as soon as more comes in on it so stay tuned for all the latest news.

Sony Has a “Monopoly” on the High-End Japanese Gaming Market, According to a US Senator

The never-ending saga surrounding Microsoft’s proposed $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard has a new participant. Today, Senator Maria Cantwell, a Democrat from the state of Washington, said some things about the subject that were hard to understand.
The senator, whose remarks were reported on by ResetEra, spoke at a Senate finance committee hearing on “the president’s 2023 Trade Policy Plan,” which we are sure was quite interesting.
Senator Cantwell said that she had been told that Sony “controls a monopoly of 98% of the high-end game market” despite the fact that “Japan’s government has allowed Sony to engage in blatant anti-competitive conduct through exclusive deals and payments to game publishers, establishing games that are among the most popular in Japan.”
This 98% statistic is highly deceptive because it ignores PC, Nintendo, and mobile games and instead refers to Sony’s adoption rate over Microsoft in Sony’s native country of Japan, a fact that shouldn’t surprise anyone who is even somewhat familiar with the video game business.
What can we do to rectify these problems and create a level playing field, she said of US Trade Representative Katherine Tai after charging Japan’s Federal Trade Commission with improperly failing to look into this purported “exclusionary conduct”?
It is absurd to claim that Sony has a monopoly on the Japanese video game market, as Luke Plunkett of Kotaku correctly points out, “because Sony doesn’t even have a 98% share of the market for the God of War series, a title they own, as Steam is getting 30% of every sale on PC.”
It goes without saying that we can’t expect elected officials to be experts in every field, but this is a visible step at a time when the ongoing attempt to buy the company is at a very important point.
Is it significant that Microsoft, along with Nintendo, maintains its headquarters in Redmond, Washington—Senator Cantwell’s district—or that Microsoft has given Cantwell more than $500,000 over the past two decades? Let us leave that up to you.

Eating trash, Pizza Possum destroys the PS5

Pizza Possum is an arcade action game in which you, a possum, attempt to consume as much trash as you can without being discovered. It is a web-based sequel to the anarchy simulator Untitled Goose Game.It will eventually be available on the PS5.
We couldn’t help but notice that the possum in the title doesn’t look like the cute Australian possum that comes out at night to visit people.On the other hand, it looks like the horrible North American opossums are the ones that will attack trash cans and cause general chaos.Even though we think the second choice was better in terms of theme, we prefer the first one and are happy to explain why.
Your thoughts on Pizza Possum? Does it possess the necessary mass appeal to successfully skitter along the back fenceline while setting the dog off in the process?
