Final Fantasy XV’s “Comrades” mode will Enter Closed Beta
Well, the feature that caught my curiosity the most in regards of Final Fantasy XV is here in a closed beta phase. To be specific, it’s the Comrades multiplayer mode. Which will be getting a preview come next week (August 3 to 8).
This closed online test is an exclusive preview that allows players to experience select elements of the upcoming multiplayer expansion. Now players will be able to take their custom avatar on multiplayer quests with up to three other players. With Noctis and the rest of the gang of bros coming at a later date.
Comrades mode requirements and features
In order to get access to the test version of the feature. Players are required to have a Season Pass and a subscription to PlayStation Plus or an Xbox Live Gold membership. The players that meet this requirement will start off a base camp and play through a custom tutorial. Only to be followed by them taking on their own quests.
This test will allow players to choose from a variety of weapons like katana, club, dagger, and shuriken weapons. The attack patterns are variations from those Noctis does in the game, however. So new strategies have to be made around them.
Another one of the features in the test mode will be its quests. The game will have you going on quests to gain Metoshards (Which can’t be usable in the test version). And also retrieving one ingredient per person for the group’s cook to make at the end of the day.
The customization is also limited to the preset variations the game offers, however. A reminder must be done that this feature is barely just entering a test phase, and its full features will be added at a later date. This is certainly a very interesting mode, and I look forward to seeing what Square-Enix has in their hands with it.

Evaluating Fallout 76’s Value in 2024
If you’ve been keeping up with the new Fallout show on Amazon Prime, chances are you’ve been relying on PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium to access and enjoy one of Bethesda’s legendary RPGs. We decided to bypass the highly acclaimed Fallout New Vegas and Fallout 3, opting instead to explore the vast landscapes of West Virginia in Fallout 76. Infamous for its initial reception, Todd Howard’s “Fallout with Friends” has evolved significantly over the past six years. However, does that imply the game is of high quality? Is it worth playing in 2024?
As we ventured out of Vault 76 for the very first time, we were determined to find the answers to those burning questions. Recalling our escapades on the Push Square YouTube channel, we encountered quest-giving NPCs—a feature that was surprisingly absent upon release—awe-inspiring bases built by fellow players—and an abundance of loot that could easily burden us 76 times over.
In the midst of the vast array of open-world online experiences, we found ourselves quite enthralled by the combination of 50s classics playing in the background as we obliterated the heads of ghouls. And to top it off, we were able to enjoy all of this with our friends. Exploring the wasteland in the company of a ragtag band of survivors adds a unique element to Fallout 76, setting it apart from other games in the series. However, does it manage to prevent us from uninstalling and transitioning to one of the mainline entries in the series? To discover more, be sure to watch the complete video!

The cast of the Sonic the Hedgehog 3 film has added an exciting new addition with the inclusion of Shadow, who will be voiced by the talented Keanu Reeves
After a long wait, it appears that the search for a capable Hollywood actor to bring the brooding Shadow the Hedgehog to life has come to an end. Keanu Reeves, a renowned actor known for his iconic roles in film franchises such as The Matrix and John Wick, as well as his involvement in the highly anticipated game Cyberpunk 2077, has officially been cast for the role.
Speculation has been running wild lately, but The Hollywood Reporter has officially confirmed the casting, citing reliable sources in the know. News of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 being showcased at Cinemacon has quickly spread. Reeves is sure to bring his own special touch to the role, but it’s uncertain how well he will mesh with the mustachioed Dr. Robotnik, as Jim Carrey is set to reprise the character.
