In the thrilling world of gaming, the next Battlefield game is causing quite a stir with leaked patch notes unveiling a test range for weapon experimentation, along with intriguing details like incendiary grenades that can be doused by water or smoke elements, and anti-tank launchers now featuring a back blast effect. Meanwhile, Bungie's Marathon Alpha has left players divided, with criticisms of lackluster visuals and contentious heavy aim assist on PC. On the horizon, Escape from Tarkov is gearing up to exit beta with a series of updates starting in May, promising balance changes, visual enhancements, and new events to keep players on their toes.
Not to be outdone, Delta Force has introduced a gripping new night combat mode, injecting fresh excitement into the game with updated maps and new weaponry. Bethesda's remaster of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion has taken the gaming world by storm, drawing in over 100,000 concurrent players on Steam alone, showcasing stunning visuals while retaining the essence of the original title. Pre-orders for the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 have sent online retailers into a frenzy, struggling to keep up with the overwhelming demand, but ensuring that eager fans get a chance to secure their orders before the official launch on June 5th.
Lastly, the masterminds behind the historical FPS Hell Let Loose have unveiled their latest creation, Hunger, a Napoleon era historical PvPVE Extraction RPG that promises an immersive experience with a focus on melee combat and a rich arsenal of historical and fictional weaponry. With a keen eye for detail and a commitment to authenticity, Hunger is set to transport players to a fantastical alternate history filled with mutated foes and thrilling battles. Stay tuned for more updates on these exciting developments in the ever-evolving world of gaming.
