The cat-heavy RPG, Cat Quest II, has finally arrived on the consoles complete with its own launch trailer, which can be found below.

Cat Quest II can be purchased on PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One now at $14.99 across all aforementioned platforms.
Minecraft Dungeons is set for a 2020 release and, with 2019 coming to a close, we have finally been given a small taste as to what next year’s title will bring. In the new developer’s video log the team at Mojang laid out the direction of the upcoming Action-RPG, explaining that players will equip items to alter their character’s abilities, use enchantments to alter items, and more. Feel free to check out the nearly five minute video in full below!
With what is an extremely subtle nod to the spooky season, Tropico 6 has changed some of the minor aesthetics of the game to reflect these pumpkin-filled times we’re living in. As seen in the images, Tropico 6 has taken a path that allows their core game to stay intact while giving players something festive but not game-altering to enjoy. This update is available now until November 7th and comes to Tropico 6 across Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC.
While I’m a big fan in general of HyperX’s gaming headsets, the Cloud MIX is still one of my very favorites. It is by far the most versatile headset I’ve had the opportunity to use, supporting use with a single 3.5mm jack (for mobile devices, certain computers/laptops, and consoles), dual 3.5mm jacks (for computers that support an audio/microphone jack set-up), and Bluetooth connections.
Dying Light 2 may be well on its way to a Spring 2020 release, but that doesn't mean the original Dying Light has run out of steam. As a matter of fact, the end of the first game's life cycle has allowed the developers to get pretty weird with things, as shown in their latest Halloween event.
It's been a minute since we talked about Helldivers; in fact it’s been nearly a year since the last sliver of info came to us so the time apart has only made the release of the new (and free) “Dive Harder “ update that much sweeter. The free content, which is available now on PlayStation 4, Playstation 4, Vita, and PC, includes the new Proving Grounds mode, described on the official blog as being, “[A] unique replayable mission that takes place in a city, purpose built as a training facility. Captured enemies have been let loose to roam the streets and give the Helldivers an opportunity to hone their skills.”
Well, folks, this is the last time you'll hear from the Co-Opticrew before we're in full swing for Halloween. What are we doing to prepare for the oncoming rush of scares and sweets? Well... playing more video games, as it turns out. I'm not certain it'll help things, but at the very least, we'll slip into our diabetic comas with memories of our favorite titles.
Hold on to your tractors, folks, cause Farming Simulator 19 has a brand new upgrade available. This new version of the game, titled "Platinum Edition", offers a premium experience for the discerning farmer. No longer must players wade through the mediocrity of a standard farming experience, as the "Platinum Edition" is simply the cream of the virtual crop.
At E3 2018, Bethesda unveiled the newest entry in the Fallout franchise, Fallout 76. There is simply not enough time to go into the many trials and tribulations of this game, but the short version is that it had a rocky launch and didn't get a whole lot better over time. The one sliver of hope that some folks had was that the "always online" aspect of Fallout 76 would be mitigated by private servers, something Todd Howard mentioned they were "looking into after launch." Well, the last finger on your monkey's paw has grimly clenched down and private servers are here... if you pay for them.
Halloween is just a week away and all the video games are getting into the spirit. Borderlands 3's "Bloody Harvest" event, which was first teased last month, kicks off today and runs until December 5. This content is free to everyone, too, so you'll be able to enjoy it as long as you own the game. During the event, you'll be able to earn unique cosmetics (such as character skins, an ECHO device skin, weapon skin) and there are new weapons to add to your collection as well.
You read that title correctly. Saints Row 2, the second entry in the Saints Row franchise, a title that is now 11 years old, will be receiving a patch on the PC before we know it. The update comes due to Volition, the Saint’s Row series developer, finally finding the source code for the PC version of the game, the port of which was handled by an outside studio. While this is both official and delightful news - especially the bit about co-op working now - the timeframe when the PC version will be patched and content added are still yet to be announced. With Volition also working on Saints Row 5, it could be some time before we see this come to fruition.
