In a surprising turn of events, a recent leak suggests that the highly anticipated Quake 2 Remastered will be released later today. Fans and avid gamers have been waiting with bated breath for any news about this classic title's remastered version. The speculation is rife that the big announcement will occur during QuakeCon 2023, an event that has commenced today.
Quake, a series known for revolutionizing the first-person shooter genre, has a longstanding history of providing adrenaline-pumping action with immersive gameplay. If you've ever had the opportunity to play any game from the Quake series, you'll understand the excitement surrounding this news. The original Quake 2, released in 1997, was praised for its graphics, sound effects, and multiplayer mode. A remastered version promises to provide enhanced graphics, better sound design, and hopefully some new features or gameplay mechanics to surprise even the most dedicated Quake veterans.
In more gaming news, Escape From Tarkov, the massively popular MMO FPS game, has just dropped a significant patch update. Patch 0.13.5 brings a myriad of changes, but the most notable is the introduction of a new, formidable boss that players will have to contend with. Furthermore, a complete character wipe has been implemented. This means players will be starting from scratch, providing both a challenge and an opportunity to rediscover the game in a fresh light.
Apart from the new boss and the character wipe, the patch boasts a wealth of additional content designed to enhance the player experience. From new weapons, locations, and perhaps even some story elements, Patch 0.13.5 promises to rejuvenate the game and provide players with hours of new content to explore and master. Escape From Tarkov has been known for its hardcore gameplay and realistic mechanics, and with this new patch, the stakes have been raised even higher. For those who have yet to dive into the world of Tarkov, now might be the perfect time to do so.
Lastly, for fans of the JRPG genre, there's an exciting update. The release date for Final Fantasy 7 Ever Crisis has been officially announced, and it's slated for 07 Sep 2023. This mobile RPG, inspired by the legendary Final Fantasy 7, has caught the attention of many since its announcement.
The game is currently open for preregistration on both Android and iOS platforms. With mobile gaming becoming more prevalent and sophisticated, titles like Ever Crisis are expected to offer console-like experiences right at your fingertips. What's even more exciting is that the game has set up several stretch goals. While these haven't been fully achieved as of now, the momentum indicates that they'll be met in the very near future.
A notable mention for those who aren't familiar with the concept of preregistration for mobile games: it's a strategy where you essentially "book" a game before its launch. Typically, as a token of appreciation, developers provide players with in-game rewards once the game goes live. So, if you're looking forward to diving into the world of Final Fantasy 7 Ever Crisis, it's a good idea to preregister and get those extra perks.
