Epic Games Store sales are bound to continue in 2022 with the summer sale following in July and because of this, the storefront has safely secured a spot in the gaming landscape, providing some much-needed competition to Valve and Steam.

Epic Games Store have always been punching upwards when it comes to gaining popularity with storefront with online games stores being incredibly saturated over the past few years and with Sony and Microsoft releasing versions of their consoles that no longer need discs, this means a large chunk of the player base will only exclusively use the stores on the consoles themselves because you can’t purchase games anywhere else.

The post The Game Awards 2021: Deathloop Takes Home the Most Nominations first appeared on Get2Gaming.

QuakeCon is heading online again this year but Bethesda has promised a lot of developer panels, in-game rewards, and more.

QuakeCon started 25 years ago as a local gathering of id Software fans and has now transpired to one of the biggest gaming events in North America.

On Thursday, publisher Bethesda released its schedule for the three-day event that starts on August 19 and runs to August 21. It is an online event due to the worldwide pandemic and will be streaming on Bethesda’s Twitch account.

QuakeCon 2021 Schedule

The first event starts at 2PM ET (7PM BST) on the first day with id Software and MachineGames celebrating the 25th anniversary of the original Quake game. It is then followed by an in-depth look into upcoming releases and updates such as Deathloop and Fallout 76, which is then followed by an inside look into Elder Scrolls Online and Skyrim retrospectively, followed by an update for Doom Eternal. The day ends with a Fallout 76 endgame guide stream and event-goers have a chance to play the game with UFC’s Rob Whittaker.

The second day starts with a UK stream team build-a-thon for Fallout 76 and is followed by more panels dedicated to Quake and Deathloop. There is then a surprising, yet fun event with WeRateDogs, the popular Twitter account that rates dogs and has over 9 million followers. Other events in the day include more panels on Elder Scrolls Online, a 10th-anniversary interactive panel for Skyrim, and an exclusive music performance by Trivium.

The final day begins with a Doom Eternal “Prayer vs Slayer” and another UK stream team event but this time focusing on Elder Scrolls. There will also be a Doom Eternal Community Bonanza, followed by Fallout 76 CAMP Love it or Nuke it. The last two events of the QuakeCon will be the Quake World Championship Grand Finals and Live Art Creation of Elder Scrolls Online.

In addition to the panels and events, eventgoers can enter to win prizes by watching the streams. Doom Eternal players will have access to free unique skins, badges, and more by logging in between August 19 and September 2. Quake Champions players can also do this until August 21. Meanwhile, Elder Scrolls Online players get bonus in-game rewards for watching at least 15 minutes of the stream after linking their Twitch and ESO accounts.

Bethesda is also celebrating QuakeCon 2021 with sales of 60-85% off on select titles.

Go2Games are up for awards! If you enjoy our content, please find some time to vote for us here and here!

The post QuakeCon 2021: Bethesda Releases Schedule For Online Event first appeared on Get2Gaming.

PlayStation streamed their latest State of Play showcase last night and we have the rundown of what to look forward to for the upcoming half of the year.

If you aren’t familiar with the event, State of Play is a video programme that happens roughly 3-4 times a year which showcases all the latest updates, announcements, and new trailers from the world of PlayStation.

July’s PlayStation State Of Play

Moss: Book II

The sequel to 2018’s Moss, follows Quill, the extremely brave and cute mouse adventurer, who takes on clockwork monsters, solves puzzles and helps giant spirits navigate the world. Just like the first game, it will be a VR title.

Arcadegeddon

A new multiplayer shooter that is already out in early access for PS5. Explore multiple biomes, play mini-games, find hidden chests, and defeat numerous enemies and boss levels with your friends. It’s set to release in early 2022.

Hunter’s Arena Legends 

A new one-of-a-kind-melee-battle-royale that takes you to a beautifully crafted ancient East Asian world where you must fight deadly demons as well as each other. It’s set to drop on August 3 and will be one of the free titles for PlayStation members during that month.

JETT: The Far Shore

From the creators of Superbrothers: Sword & Sorcery EP, comes an adventure game where you explore space as an intrepid aviation scientist, looking for somewhere to carry on and hopefully, save humanity. It will be released for PS4 and PS5 later this year.

Lost Judgement

The sequel to Yakuza‘s spin-off Judgement sees you play as Takayuku Yagami as he explores the Japanese cities of Kamurocho and Isezaki Ijincho. The game will feature a trial, a “gruesome tragedy”, and a potential revenge plot, even someone being framed for a murder. It’s out on September 24.

Death Stranding: Director’s Cut

The Director’s Cut of the highly successful Death Stranding shows off a remastered version of Hideo Kojima’s stunning game, featuring improved melee combat, new weapons, a firing range to practice your skills, new story missions, and so much more. It’s also set to be released on September 24.

Deathloop

Bethesda gave us an extended look at the upcoming action-adventure shooter game that all takes place in a time loop. The footage includes a level of the game and we see Julianna, the rival assassin who will keep main character Colt company, as well as Colt’s special abilities that includes being able to rewind time at the moment of death while the rest of the world stays the same… Deathloop was one of the main features of the showcase and is expected to drop on September 14.

Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles

The new trailer for this anime and manga adaption gives us a shot-for-shot recreation of a scene many fans will be familiar with, making this adaptation just as authentic as its counterparts. We get to see the three main characters battle against demon bosses and the 3D animation for the gameplay has really paid off. More of the game’s expectations can be found here, and it will drop on October 15.

Sifu

The martial arts fighting game developed by Sloclap that puts you in control of a young Kung-Fu student looking for revenge also teased some gameplay at the State of Play showcase. Sadly, it also announced the game is now expecting a 2022 release date instead of its original 2021 release window.

F.I.S.T.

Probably the only game that has you play as a rabbit man with a giant robotic arm, F.I.S.T, otherwise known as Forged in Shadow Torch, is a 2D Metroidvania-style platformer where animals take on machines that have invaded their world. You play as Rayton as he comes out of hiding to save his kidnapped friends. It will be released on September 7.

Tribes of Midgard

This co-op action survival RPG sees you defend your village from nightly raids and giant invaders as Ragnarok steadily approaches. You can also do more than survive with the Tribes’ Saga Mode, as it invites you to see how many weapons you can forge and giants you can slay in under two hours. It is set to release on PS4, PS5 and PC on July 27.

What game are you excited about the most? Let us know in the comments!
