Monster Hunter: World Arrives on PC this August

The wait for Monster Hunter: World on PC is almost over! August 9th, 2018 is the big day, where Capcom’s best-selling game in company history will hit Steam. A vast, living, breathing ecosystem awaits in this take on the Monster Hunter series, with online co-op, complete with drop-in functionality, which is also a first for the series. The elder dragons migrated across the sea to the New World, an event known as the Elder Crossing has occurred, and as a part of the Guild’s Research Commission, you must embark on a journey to this new land and uncover the secrets behind this phenomenon. The hunters’ sights are set on Zora Magdaros, a colossal elder dragon that rises from the earth like a volcano.

Future updates will add new content and gameplay features. Updates and fixes made in other platform versions will be gradually applied to the PC version. The Event Quest schedule will differ from other platforms so fans should stay tuned to official Capcom channels for more details on additional content release dates. Specs are below.

Shining Resonance Refrain Arrives in the West Tomorrow

Shining Resonance Refrain

The Shining series returns for the first time in Ten Years for the Shining Resonance Refrain release, on Playstation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC tomorrow! It’s time to harness the power of the Shining Dragon, and characters designed by legendary artist Tony Taka will come to life in an action-packed real-time combat RPG, and the B.A.N.D. system will help Yuma ILvern bring justice to the Empire as they work to save Alfeim. Shining Resonance Refrain remasters the original Shining Resonance, previously released on PlayStation® 3 only in Japan, and features dual audio with English and Japanese voices. In addition to all of the original’s DLC, now included as part of the base “Original Mode,” Shining Resonance Refrain packs a new “Refrain Mode,” unlocking the Imperial Princess Excella and Dragonslayer Jinas as party members for a new experience – just be sure to save this for your second playthrough to avoid any spoilers.

New Dawn Releases into Early Access

New Dawn Early Access

After over two years in development, E-visualsoft’s survival game set in the Golden Age of Piracy is live on Steam’s Early Access program. New Dawn is in Early Access, and while there are bugs still in the game, many of the core mechanics and features are already present and polished. They do stress that Early Access games are not finished and theirs is no exception, but do promise to use the Early Access time to listen to feedback and criticism, to make the game as great as they can. New Dawn is also at a stable state and performs well, and players are more likely to find a balance issue rather than a game-breaking bug. It is their goal to make a unique and fun Survival title, and with the communities help, they hope to do just that. Early Access can be found at this link on Steam.
