The Rocket League has scored 29 billion goals so far

On the occasion of the fifth birthday of the popular game Rocket League, its creators boasted of its impressive statistics.

Automotive football called the Rocket League turned five years old yesterday. Some celebratory items and prizes for player loyalty could be found in the game, and the Psyonix development team treated us to interesting statistics.

It was revealed that the game has been played by 75 million players on various platforms so far, which is a particularly impressive fact because Rocket League is not a free game and could only be purchased once for free - as soon as it came out on the PlayStation 4 console.

Those 75 million players played a total of five billion matches through various modes, and more than 29 billion goals were scored in them. That means he averages up to six goals in every Rocket League match. What a Champions League, it's a lullaby!

On this occasion, here is a compilation of some really fascinating goals. It’s not mine, of course, I just have really fascinating misses, but that doesn’t go under official statistics.

The Sky Beneath puzzle adventure looks like a fusion of Tower World and Portal

In the Sky Beneath puzzle game, we will be able to decide for ourselves where the ground is and where the ceiling is. In the role of researcher Cassie, we will have to escape from a planet designed to give us a headache.

God of War has been turned into a comic book for children

In the ninth month, the adventure of Kratos and his son will be retold in the form of a picture book called God of War: B is for Boy.

God of War has useful things to teach players, but those who are a little older because the game is suitable for adult audiences. In order for the younger ones to understand the story, Insight Editions, in collaboration with the game's creators, has prepared an official picture book called God of War: B is For Boy.

The picture book reliably recounts the events of the game, focusing on the relationship between father and son through their facial expressions and body language. Here and there there are things that could be interpreted as violent, but nothing more than the violence as propagated in the Tom & Jerry cartoons, for example.

The picture book will go on sale on September 1 this year and will cost $ 17.

Shadow Warrior 3 has been announced for PC

In the third Shadow Warrior, the legendary Lo Wang will catch a dragon in neo-feudal Japan, exclusively on the PC platform.

We knew he was coming and here he is finally - Shadow Warrior 3 has been announced. Fallen shogun Lo Wang and his assistant Orochi Zilla are back on an incredible mission to capture an ancient dragon that has escaped from its eternal prison. The gameplay in the trio is described as a "symphony of death" and is still based on a combination of katana and firearms, running along walls and dismembering demonic forces from Japanese folklore.

Developer Flying Wild Hog, responsible for the previous two games, is working on the game, and it was announced exclusively for the PC platform, and the planned release is in 2021. We got a trailer in which we can see what the game looks like, but for the specific gameplay we will still have to wait until July 11, when the game will be shown at 9 pm as part of the Devolver Digital conference.

The action RPG Mortal Shell can now be tried out on a PC

Mortal Sell, another one of those games that plans to “attack” the Souls series, is now free to try out during beta testing.

A remake of Demon’s Souls is coming to us in the future, and the From Software team is working on a brand new Elden Ring. There are plenty of reasons for fans of soulborne-type games to be optimistic. But until those games see the light of day, it’s not a bad idea to try out a promising competitor called Mortal Shell in the meantime.

The game in question launched a closed beta test on the PC platform last weekend. The developers expected the interest in this testing to be high, but in the end it turned out that the game wanted to be tested by a far larger number of players than they thought. So they decided to open testing for all interested players. The only prerequisite is that you have an account for the Epic Games Store, as the game is temporarily exclusive to that platform.

The beta version normally contains about an hour and a half of gameplay provided your reflexes are accustomed to the challenge of soulborne games. Everyone else may need a little more time to complete. Basically, we have two characters available in the beta version - Harros and Tiel.

NBA 2K21 will have two different covers for old and new consoles

2K Sports has revealed which basketball players will adorn the covers of their NBA 2K21 simulation. It turned out that the game would have two covers depending on the versions of the game.



The NBA 2K series usually has a minimum of two stars on the cover - the main one and the additional one. In the case of the NBA 2K, the standard cover was adorned by Anthony Davis, while the Legend Edition featured Dwayne Wade. This year's edition may go a step further than that, so that there will be three different basketball players on the covers of the game.

Namely, it has been confirmed that the PC, PS4 and XBO versions will have one cover with Dame Lillard from the Portland Trail Blazers, while the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X versions will have another cover with the young Zion Williamson from the New Orleans Pelicans.

The association is clear here - a new generation player (year 2000) to play on the new generation of consoles. However, Williamson is a kind of precedent here because he has only one season in the NBA league behind him. All previous basketball players who have appeared on the covers of the NBA 2K series have had several seasons behind them, and the cover came to them in recognition of their form and success. For example, it took LeBron James 11 years to get his cover, and James Harden seven.

Whether it’s fair to them or not is a different story now, but the fact is that 2K Sports has the right to promote their game with whoever they want.

AMD will reportedly distribute Assassin’s Creed to Valhalla and Godfall to customers of its processors and graphics cards

Alleged details of AMD's new promotional campaign in which new customers of Ryzen and Radeon will receive three new games have been leaked.

For the past year, AMD has had some very enticing promotions called “Raise the Game” in which they distributed games such as Resident Evil 3 and Borderlands 3 to buyers of certain Radeon series graphics cards, and before that Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and The Division 2. According to unofficial information transmitted by the Videocardz portal, AMD will soon reactivate this promotion with three upcoming games.

Future card buyers from the Radeon RX 5600 XT, RX 5700 and RX 5700 XT will receive a cooperative Godfall and a new expansion for World of Warcraft - Shadowlands. Those who buy the cheaper Radeon RX 5500 XT will only get Godfall. By the way, both of these games will boast raytracing effects, but AMD's cards with which you get these games will not be able to evoke these effects - it will be reserved for the next generation of Radeon.



On the other hand, those who decide to buy a 3000 series Ryzen processor will get a code for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. Admittedly, this only applies to the more expensive Ryzen 7 and 9 models - from the 3700X onwards, which makes some sense as AC: Valhalla will be a demanding CPU-hungry game.

Admittedly, all of this is still unofficial information and while it’s pretty likely to be accurate, we still don’t know when the promotion will start and how long it will last. Therefore, if you are planning to buy one of the mentioned products in the near future, it is not a bad idea to wait for this promotion to be officially announced.

Fortnite has finally come out of early access

The PvE component of the mega-popular Fortnite has finally come out of the early access phase. And almost nothing has changed with that.

When the name Fortnite is mentioned, it refers to Fortnite Battle Royale, a mode that is free and played by millions of players. But Fortnite was originally born on the idea of ​​PvE mode which was later renamed Fortnite Save the World. That part of the game paid off and was launched in 2017 in the early access phase (almost six years after it was already in development).

Save the World mod fell into the shadow of Battle Royale, but Epic Games did not stop working on it. In fact, they announced yesterday that the game has officially come out of the early access phase, which means that this tag is now being removed from both Battle Royale and Creative mods.

Not much has changed now that Fortnite Save the World is no longer in early access. It will still be a "premium" experience, not free-to-play. However, seasonal expeditions called Ventures are being introduced, and new cosmetic items are arriving. In short, even though the game is now out of active development, that doesn’t mean the content for it will stop coming.
