A tweet has announced that Season 2 of free-to-play battle royale Super Animal Royale will be starting December 14. There is even a hint of what is to come with the new season. The announcement tweet reads: It’s about dam time. Season 2, a new map location, Super Animal breeds, CRISPRmas, and more arrive in our next update on Tuesday, December 14th. The “dam time” seems to hint that the new map location will indeed be a dam.

I played a good bit of The Outer Worlds on its Normal difficulty setting, got distracted, then set the game aside for a bit. This weekend, I went back to the game and decided to get a little crazy with it; I restarted the game on its highest difficulty setting: Supernova. I most definitely do not recommend playing this game on Supernova difficulty for your first playthrough, but for the sake of potentially writing an interesting article about Obsidian’s latest RPG, I thought, why not?

Riot Games has this week kicked off Valorant’s second Act of Episode 4, which brings with it a substantial new update that not only adds the typical array of battlepass and skin content but also gameplay balance changes. As reported in our recent article, the patch notes reveal changes to several controllers in the game, including Omen, Viper, Astra, and Brimstone. Also, an overhaul of the map Icebox. But perhaps the most highly anticipated change is the rework of Yoru, the teleporting Japanese duelist who has long been at the wrong end of Valorant’s meta.

Today Square Enix released a couple of trailers of War of The Visions: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius, one of which focuses on the Persona 5 Royal crossover which was announced a few days ago. We get to see Kasumi Yoshizawa’s Phantom Thief form Violet in action showing off her moves in the game. It’s worth mentioning that the crossover is currently going on only in Japan, while western fans will likely have to wait a few months longer.

Today the Pokemon Company had a treat for Pokemon fans in the form of a new music video. The video shows a group of super-cute dancing Pikachus somewhere in Okinawa accompanied by the local band “HY” performing their song “Sorairo” which translates into “Sky Color.” This is part of the popular Pokemon Air Adventures campaign that has been going on in Japan for a while to promote the joy of traveling and revitalize the tourism industry in Japan after it has been weakened by the COVID-19 pandemic.
