Battlerite Royale


The popular MOBA, Battlerite, has announced a battle royale mode to release this summer. This mode consists of 20 (not 100) players dropped off in a map about 30 times larger than a standard Battlerite map. The players will fight each other for 10 minutes, aiming to be the last one standing. Expect this next season.

Beyond Good and Evil 2


The developers of the long-awaited RPG have checked back in with us. This time they’re showing off a bit of the movement and controls. Explaining how players can travel and coordinate. I’m happy to see progress being gradually made on the game, it certainly looks like its coming together. You can watch the video here, it’s not long. Good luck with the French accents, though.

Momochu, Pikachu’s Third Evolution


In an interview with Pokemon designers Koji Nishino, Atsuko Nishida, and Ken Sugimori, We discover the truth behind Pikachu’s forgotten third evolution, Momochu. “The Pokémon known as Gorochu bared fangs and even had a pair of horns,” according to Nishida. There was nothing wrong with the design, but the Pokemon was removed for balance reasons. You can read the entire interview on SiliconEra. It’s not bad.

Thursday 12-7-17: PUBG Maps, Portal Games, Steam’s Bitcoin, and Ryan Reynolds

In daily update, News

Thursday! I forgot Wednesday. I’m sorry, I guess its been a rough week. here are the last 2 days of gaming:

  • New PlayerUnknown’s Battleground map
  • New Portal game??
  • Steam drops Bitcoin
  • Ryan Reynolds is Detective Pikachu

PUBG Map
Developers Bluehole has finally released the newest map to the hit battle royale game, Miramar. This desert based map has been in the works for a while now and has been known about for nearly just as long. Despite its contrast to the grassy plains of the original map, Miramar looks to be full of interesting places, all with Spanish names.

Bridge Constructor Portal
Here’s a release no one expected, or asked for really. Valve has announced that in partnership with Headsup Games, they will be releasing a new Portal-themed physics puzzle game called Bridge Constructor Portal. As you guessed, it’s like Bridge Constructor, but with Portals. Many fans are upset at the emotional damage they suffered from getting excited about another Portal game. Regardless of how you feel, you can get this game on December 20 for PC and mobile, with a console version coming next year. You can watch the reveal trailer for it here.

Steam removed Bitcoin
The largest digital game storefront has decided to remove functionality for the largest cryptocurrency. They state the reason is that the currency is simply too volatile, and transactions are becoming too expensive, for it to be a viable transaction option. Its hard to argue with that, considering Bitcoin fees have reached upwards of 20 dollars. Now if you want to buy Steam games, you have to do it the normal way to us plebs.

Ryan Reynolds is Detective Pikachu
It was recently announced that renowned actor, Ryan Reynolds, will be taking the role of Detective Pikachu in the upcoming live-action movie of the same name. This M-Night Shammy level twist sounded like a dream when I first read about it, but it’s as real as it gets. Some fans are upset about Danny Devito not getting the role, a meme that had popularized back when the Detective Pikachu game had released in Japan.

That’s all we have for today, and how bizarre it all is. Check back tomorrow for the last day of this weeks news. Otherwise, have a great night!
