Hood: Outlaws & Legends is a new game with the vibes of Robin Hood, coming to PlayStation 5

 Hood: Outlaws & Legends is a new game for the current and new generation of gaming platforms, and with an interesting debut trailer it throws clear vibes of Robin Hood.

Hood: Outlaws & Legends has just announced a new game for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One and PC.

It will be a multiplayer PvPvE game focused on theft, and the release is planned for 2021.

The game is developed by Sumo Newcastle studio, the team behind Eve: Valkyrie, and published by Focus Home Interactive.

Hood: Outlaws & Legends is described as a “dark and violent” game, but it doesn’t really look so dark at the end of the introductory trailer where you can see the first hints of gameplay.

In Hitman 3, we will also eliminate targets with a VR headset on our head

 The most famous bald killer with the new game will have the ability to eliminate targets in an even more intimate environment at all locations within the World of Assassination trilogy of Hitman games.

The creativity of eliminating targets in Hitman 3 will get a new dimension because the VR version of the game has just been announced and will be available immediately after its release in the first month of next year. The intimacy of elimination in VR will be available only to owners of PSVR devices, who will be able to experience all locations in virtual reality if they also own previous Hitman games.

Specifically, VR support arrives for the entire World of Assassination trilogy of Hitman games, and that means over 20 locations that will be available for another first-person pass. How the location import will work has not yet been specified in detail, but those details will be available in the coming months.

The new possibilities in eliminating targets in VR are best described by the example of developers who say you will be able to hit a guard on the head with a pan and then use the same object to repel bullets while deftly running away from an opponent.

So, Igor’s Hitman Rambo series could get one new dimension when Hitman 3 hits the market.

Crash Bandicoot 4 looks good in the new trailer, a new playful character is introduced

Crash Bandicoot 4 brings a few playful characters, and through the new trailer we also learned some new things like alternative levels with a different visual style and challenges.

Crash Bandicoot 4 is nearing release, and yesterday we learned some new details about the game through Sony’s State of Play presentation. The biggest surprise relates to the return of Dingodile who will now be a playful character with unique mechanics because of the weapons he carries in his hands.

In addition to the new character, we will have the opportunity to change the outfit, which we will unlock by solving challenges and collecting gems. In addition, there will be alternative N. Verted levels that are actually mirror versions of the level with a different visual style and challenges.

Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time is playing on PS4 and Xbox One from 2.10. at full price, that is, the game will cost a standard 60 euros.

The new trailer is just below these words, and in five minutes it explains all this news with a lot of fresh gameplay.

Serious Sam 4 has been delayed though

Serious Sam 4 was originally supposed to arrive sometime later this month, but now we’ve learned that the official release will still be in the ninth month.

The fourth part of Croteam's most popular series should contain over a thousand enemies on screen. We will have to wait another month for such an endeavor because we learned that Serious Sam 4 is not coming out this month, even though it was originally announced that way.

The reason for this delay of a month is not known, but all we know is that Sam and I will defeat the enemies on September 24 this year.

We expect several types of opponents in the game, and the main protagonist should be joined by several new characters. A very rich arsenal of weapons, shooting challenge and an even higher level of visual violence are just some of the things that await us in the upcoming sequel.

Nintendo is crushing it, sold 61 million Switch consoles and recorded big earnings growth

Nintendo hit a golden vein during the pandemic with the Animal Crossing game, on whose wings twice as many Switch consoles were sold as expected.

Sales of the Nintendo Switch console rose sharply in the last quarter. Nintendo announced today that they have sold as many as 5.68 million Switch consoles in the period from April to July this year. This is twice as much as last year's result at the same time, and this result can certainly be attributed at least in part to the coronavirus pandemic, which many have stayed at home and have so far treated with gaming.

That impressive figure is divided into the standard Switch console which sold 3.05 million units and the Nintendo Switch Lite version which added another 2.62 million units sold in total. This means that since its launch, Nintendo has sold a total of 61.44 million Switch consoles, as well as the fact that the Switch should surpass total sales of the 3DS console by next year. And the 3DS sold like hot cakes!

Despite the results slightly higher than expected, Nintendo reiterated that they still plan to sell 19 million units of Switch consoles by the end of March next year, ie not to change their forecast.

In the same period, the results of their first-party games for Switch were also excellent, in which people obviously found solace and fun during the pandemic. Animal Crossing: New Horizons is still a relatively new game on the market, and is already the second best-selling game for Switch in general. Since its release in March this year, the new Animal Crossing has sold an incredible 22.4 million copies, of which over 10 million were sold in the first quarter of the year alone. This means that this game is now better-selling than popular titles like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Pokémon Sword and Shield and Super Mario Odyssey. The only obstacle to its top is Mario Kart 8 Deluxe 26.74 million copies sold.

Pokemon Sword and Shield also sells great. In fact, it has become the best-selling Pokemon title in the last 20 years with over 18 million copies in the hands of gamers.

As for the rest of the year, a new Paper Mario has recently come out, and although their release dates have not been confirmed games like Bravely Default II and No More Heroes 3 should come out this year. In addition, fans can look forward to the Deluxe version of Pikmin 3 coming in the 10th month. Will that be enough and is Nintendo hiding some more big announcements from us before the end of this year? As soon as we find out something you read it on HCL.
