Today’s news is an interesting batch. Too bad I’m so sleepy this morning. Here’s the news.
- Warframe: Beasts of the Sanctuary Update
- Minecraft Skin Malware
- DeadMau5’s Video Game
Beasts of the Sanctuary
Warframe is in-line for their next major update. With it, we see the35th Warframe, Khora. We also can expect a new game mode called Sanctuary Onslaught. Khora has the unique ability to cycle between what type of damage you deal, impact, puncture, and slash. For more details, and some oddly creative writing, check out the PlayStation blog post about it.
Minecraft Malware
Minecraft is still a large scale game. Millions of users still play regularly. Unfortunately, nearly 50,000 of these users have been infected with “malware designed to reformat hard-drives and delete backup data and system programs,” according to data from anti-virus providers Avast. Hackers have hidden malicious scripts inside of Minecraft skins uploaded to the official Minecraft servers. Mojang is working on a fix for the vulnerability.
DeadMau5 Game
Joel Zimmerman, best known by his EDM musician alias DeadMau5, recently revealed a “Mad early ‘alpha alpha’” of a video game he is developing. The longtime Twitch streamer used the platform to show off some footage of the unfinished gameplay environment. The beat dropper says it will still be a fairly long time before its anything close to presentable. That’s fine by me. It’s nice to show off a passion project sometimes, ya know?
Fun news day. Lot’s of interesting things. Be sure to check back tomorrow for the latest in video games. Otherwise, have a great day!
