Tuesday 8-21-18: Hat in Time DLC/Co-op/Switch Port, Sekiro’s Release Date, Twitch Prime Ad Changes, Life is Strange 2 Reveal Trailer

It’s a heavy news day! Lots to discuss. So here’s a rare, four-topic news post. Forgive me if they’re small segments.

  • A Hat in Time DLC, Co-op, Switch Port
  • FROM’s Sekiro’s Release Date
  • Twitch Prime Ad Changes
  • Life is Strange 2 Reveal Trailer

Two Hats in Time


Remember A Hat In Time, the adorable 3D platformer released not long ago? Developers Gears for Breakfast recently released an announcement trailer detailing their upcoming DLC. Titled “Seal the Deal,” it features a cruise ship run by adorable seals. They also announce a new game mode called Death Wish, which is like an extra difficult boss mode. They then announce a new co-op update is coming to the PC game on September 13. Lastly, they announce a Nintendo Switch version of the game, which will be “coming soon.” Perhaps we’ll have to make a Cozy Co-op episode about a Hat in Time soon.

Sekiro Release Date


According to a tweet by the game’s official Twitter, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice has a release date! March 22 of next year. Originally in Japanese, the tweet roughly translates to the following.

‘”Sekiro: SHADOWS DIE TWICE” will be released simultaneously worldwide on Friday, March 22, 2019. I hope you’ll enjoy it.’

So hey, that’s cool. It’s not too far away when you think about it.

Twitch Prime, Now with Ads


When Amazon bought out Twitch, the popular live streaming service, they implemented a new special status called Twitch Prime. This was a free upgrade to Twitch users who also had Amazon Prime. It offered the same benefits as Twitch Turbo, an alternate upgrade service.

One of the features of Twitch Prime was ad-free viewing. There are quite a few ads on Twitch, so having a way to mitigate them without an ad blocker was quite appealing. Now Twitch has announced that Twitch Prime will no longer offer ad-free viewing, starting next month. Twitch Turbo will continue to offer the service, however. So those wanting ad-free viewing will have to add another nine dollars a month.

Frustrating, to say the least.

Life is Strange 2


At long last, we have a trailer for Life is Strange 2. Instead of me talking about it, since I don’t have much to say, how about I just post the video below?

That’s all for today, tune in tomorrow for more fun, flirty news. Otherwise, have a great day!

Tuesday 12-5-17: Cuphead, UFC Stream, Mega Man 11, FNaF 6, Darkest Dungeon DLC, A Hat Early in Time.

It’s Tuesday! That means I accidentally forgot to post on Monday again. once again, I’m sorry. the new FNaF game caught me by surprise, but more on that later. here’s the news from the last 3 days:

  • Cuphead Updates
  • Twitch Streamer broadcast a UFC fight
  • Mega Man 11?!
  • A new Five Nights at Freddy’s game??
  • Darkest Dungeon DLC
  • A Hat in Time released early

The Cupdate
Studio MDHR has recently released a new major update for their hit game, Cuphead. This update will include a number of changes to the game. This will include improvements to the game engine, as well as some gameplay modifications for fairness sake. This will cause some big uprooting to the Speedrunning scene. You can read the full list of changes at the Changelog posted on the developer’s website.

UFC Live Broadcast
Saturday night was the UFC 218 fight. To view this event, you had to purchase it via Pay Per View. One clever Twitch streamer decided to broadcast the fight on the video game oriented streaming service, Twitch. How did he not get stricken down for copyright claims? He held a controller and pretended to be playing the recently released, EA UFC 3. This allowed him to go under the radar from admins, by the time news of his exploits went nationwide, the fight was over, and his archived footage deleted. When asked if he is worried about repercussions, he stated that he doesn’t think Twitch will do anything. So far he’s right, no action has been taken by Twitch, UFC, or EA regarding the event. The streamer is called Lester_Gaming and can be found here.

Mega Man 11
That’s no joke, Mega Man 11 has been announced. Capcom recently released a trailer premiering the next in the line of Mega Man games for next year. The last game having released 7 years ago, was a retro homage to the classic series of NES games. Now they are taking is in a modern direction with updated graphics, sound, and design, while keeping the style true to the originals. More details will be released next year, for now, you can see the trailer for yourself here.

Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria Simulator
The next in the line of Five Nights at Freddy’s titles have been released. Creator of the series, Scott Cawthorn, had teased this previously, stating that he wouldn’t go an entire year without releasing something new. The game initially appears to be an 8-bit arcade game, where the player throws pizzas at kids. It doesn’t take long to discover what this really is. I played about 30 minutes of the game, which you can watch here. It’s an interesting combination of classic FNaF and a new creative spin, and I’m all for it. Best of all, its free! You can download the game at no cost on Steam.

Darkest Dungeon: Color of Madness
The dark and gritty RPG will be receiving another DLC pack after the vampiric success of their previous one, The Crimson Court. The Color of Madness is an HP Lovecraft style campaign where the player deals with a comet having fallen to earth. Full of cosmic horrors, the DLC will include a new wave-based mode, a new enemy faction, and a collection of new monsters, items, and powerful trinkets. You can see the announcement post for yourself here.

A Hat Earlier in Time
The Console release of the cute platformer was scheduled for December 6, tomorrow. In a surprise turn of events, the game has released tonight for the NA Playstation 4 Market. You can get the game now on American Playstation 4s for $29.99, and tomorrow for EU PS4 and Xbox One for the same price. What a fun little surprise.


Phew, lot’s of news. I’m excited about a fair bit of it. Thanks for reading, everyone. Check back tomorrow for the latest and greatest in video game news. otherwise, Have a great night!

Tuesday 11-28-17: Ports for A Hat in Time, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, and Yooka-Laylee

I think I made the “Tuesday News Day” joke last week, so I should probably refrain from that this week. Today’s news is all port based, weirdly enough.

  • A Hat in Time comes to consoles
  • PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds Mobile Version
  • Yooka-Laylee coming to the Switch

A Hat in Time on Consoles
The adorable platformer released not long ago on PC and Mac. During this time it received amazing reviews. Developers Gears for Breakfast have announced that it will soon be releasing on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, specifically on December 4 (that’s about a week away). The game will cost $30. You can see the trailer announcing this HERE.

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds Mobile Version
You heard(read?) right! A big name Chinese game publisher who has been in workings with developers Bluehole about a Chinese version of the game have recently announced that China will also be getting a mobile phone version of the game. No details have been given, or even if this version will come to the States. Stay tuned for more on that.

Yooka-Laylee coming to the Switch
This spiritual successor to the Banjo-Kazooie games announced a while back that they would be coming to Switch in the future. That future is about 3 weeks from now, on December 14. The game generated some controversy when popular YouTuber, JonTron, was originally a voice actor for the game. Until he made some racist remarks online and had his lines later patched out. The game had mixed reviews overall, unfortunately, and now that the hype of release has died down, I doubt the Switch version will do much better. Regardless you can get Yooka-Laylee for Nintendo Switch on December 14 for $39.99.


So many port announcements. December will be a repetitive month. Thanks for reading everyone. Be sure to check back tomorrow for the latest and greatest in video game news. Otherwise, have a great night!
