Dishonored 2 was certainly a good game when it released last November. (Minus some haphazard story issues.) The gameplay was fantastic and offered much replayability. Now five months later, Arkane Studios and Bethesda have announced a Dishonored 2 free trial (read: glorified demo). Whoever hasn’t yet dived into the world of Karnaca, you’ll be able to play the first three story missions of the campaign. Of course, the choice to play as either Empress Emily Kaldwin or Corvo Attano will be available.

The Dishonored 2 trial will be downloadable from the PSN Store, Xbox Marketplace, and Steam on April 6th. Like many other demos before it, if you decide to purchase the full game all your saves will be carried over from the trial. So you’ll be able to continue from where you left off. Although we’d be remiss not to tell you (our lovely and awesome readers) that Dishonored 2 for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 is currently sitting in the thirties on Amazon.

If this is your first time hearing about Dishonored 2, then we got you covered. The sequel takes place after Corvo rescued his daughter after she was kidnapped and her mother murdered. A new player appears in the form of Delilah (the deceased mother’s sister) and takes over the Empire’s crown, freezes the hero you don’t select, and locks the other one away. Also, that happened in a span of five minutes. Pacing really isn’t important here. As Corvo or Emily, it’s your job to find out how Delilah came to be in power and avenge this transgression.

Have you played Dishonored 2 yet? Do you plan on trying the Dishonored 2 trial? Let us know your thoughts!

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. In addition, Fukushima will be included as a backdrop in the title’s beloved photography mode.

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.
