Dying Light: Bad Blood, the new battle-royale game from Techland, is now available on PC via Steam Early Access.
It was only a matter of time before zombies and the battle-royale genre came together in a marriage made in heaven, or should that be hell?
Not only are the shambling undead making a guest appearance in Blackout, the new battle-royale mode for Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, they are also front and centre in Techland’s new game, Dying Light: Bad Blood, which is now available in Steam Early Access.
Hold those rolling eyes, dear reader, as Dying Light: Bad Blood just might be worth a look. The game retains the franchise’s trademark parkour traversal, and blends PvP and PvE gameplay in 12-player matches set within a city swarming with zombies, sorry, the Infected. It’s an appealing mix that should hopefully make for a tight and fast-paced battle-royale experience.
Maciej Łączny, producer of the game, said in a press statement:
“We’re really happy with the results of our recent Global Play Test and I’d like to thank all of the players out there that took part and gave us such helpful insight. We’ve made some big leaps in development based on that activity and look forward to the road ahead as we prepare new content for the game, the first of which will be available in the next few weeks.”
Dying Light: Bad Blood is available now via the $19.99 Founder’s Pack. It includes access to the game plus exclusive in-game content in the shape of currency, exclusive items, and three special skins released over the next three months.
Additional free content updates – new items, characters, and maps – will be released throughout the early access period.

Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is coming to the Nintendo Switch in Japan.

Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is coming to the Nintendo Switch in Japan.
Last night’s Nintendo Direct served up a raft of game announcements for the Nintendo 3DS and Switch, including news of new titles in the Luigi’s Mansion and Animal Crossing franchises. One franchise that wasn’t mentioned – and nor were we expecting it to be – was Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed series.
However, in Japan’s Nintendo Direct broadcast it was confirmed that Ubisoft’s upcoming open-world action RPG, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, will be coming to the Nintendo Switch as a cloud streaming game.
Here’s the reveal trailer showing the game in action on the Switch.
It’s not the first game from the PlayStation 4/Xbox One generation to get this treatment. Capcom’s Resident Evil VII was also released for the Nintendo Switch as a cloud streaming game earlier this year, and according to reports it performed rather well.
We have to assume that the inconsistent availability of high-speed internet in the West prohibits such releases in Europe and North America.
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey: Cloud Version will be available in Japan from October 5,2018.
It’s a real shame we’ll probably never get it here, but we certainly wouldn’t say no to Assassin’s Creed: Ezio Trilogy on the Switch. How about it, Ubisoft?

New Animal Crossing and Luigi’s Mansion games revealed in a jam-packed Nintendo Direct.
Hosted by Shinya Takahashi, last night’s Nintendo Direct detailed a number of upcoming games for the Nintendo Switch and 3DS. The 35 minute presentation also outlined the Nintendo Switch Online service, which launches next week.
The presentation was topped and tailed by two first-party game announcements for the Switch: Luigi’s Mansion 3, and a new Animal Crossing game. Both are due in 2019.
Also revealed was the immediate release of the Cities: Skylines, Colossal Order’s fantastic city building simulation, and Final Fantasy XV Pocket Edition .
Final Fantasy fans can also look forward to Chocobo’s Mystery Dungeon, Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age, Final Fantasy VII, IX, X, X2, and Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remastered coming Switch in the next year.
Elsewhere, there was a new RPG announced from Pokémon developer, Game Freak, exclusive Star Fox missions for Ubisoft’s Starlink: Battle for Atlas, and amiibo support for Diablo III .
All in all we’d say this Nintendo Direct was worth the wait. Here’s the full list of announcements and release dates.

Drivers, start your engines (and maybe pop to Amazon for a new graphics card).
A strange thing happens, when a game comes out that’s set in your home. Sure, you could go out and spend time in Manhattan, but there’s also Marvel’s Spider-Man. You could brave the smog on Los Angeles, or just play GTA V (or GTA: San Andreas, or LA Noire, for that matter).
While I could go out and drive around country roads in the UK, I’ll probably just do it in Forza Horizon 4, instead. Not for the races, or the Horizon festival, or any of that other nonsense, though. For the sightseeing. For the familiarity. For the feels. There’s something magical about seeing places you know lovingly recreated by talented art teams.
