Back in September, one of the more interesting mods released for The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt, the Super Turbo Lightning Mod, has received a new update introducing a variety of tweaks that enhanced the mod considerably. A new version of the mod is currently in the works and a brand new trailer showcasing the new improvements has been shared online a few hours ago.

The new The Witcher 3 Super Turbo Lightning Mod trailer focuses on the areas surrounding the city of Novigrad as well as the city itself, and, needless to say, everything looks really impressive. You can check out the new trailer right below.

With the Hearts of Stone expansion now out, CD Projekt RED is working on the second expansion for The Witcher 3, Blood and Wine, which will be released next year on all formats and in all regions. There’s not much we currently known about the expansion but we have learned last week that players will meet characters they have read about in the books. As the expansion will be set in the duchy of Toussaint, there’s a good chance that players will meet the sorceress Fringilla Vigo, with whom Geralt had a brief relationship, and the duchess Anna Henrietta. The new expansion is also going to include some of the monsters that have been mentioned in the game but haven’t appeared. Among the monsters that might be included in Blood and Wine are Strigas, Manticores and Bruxas.

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 upcoming 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.

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?
