										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="bt_bb_wrapper"><p>Oh, <a href="https://www.konami.com/">Konami</a>! You sweet, adorable, totally not cartoonishly inept company who dashed the hopes of a Silent Hill sequel featuring Kojima and Del-Toro on the rocks of&#8230; Well, not the profit motive, that&#8217;s for sure!</p>
<p>Konami forgot to renew it&#8217;s rights to the official Silent Hill website domain, leading to a substantially more business savvy individual buying rights to the website from right under the company&#8217;s nose. Will things stay like this? The answer is yes, but actually no, but definitely maybe!</p>
<p>Konami does own the rights to Silent Hill (much to the dismay of the fanbase), so they may be able to reacquire the website in the future. Oddly enough though, this isn&#8217;t K-Dawg&#8217;s first rodeo with not bothering renewing websites of it&#8217;s IPs (intellectual property), so I wouldn&#8217;t be too worried.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-17755" src="https://blog.go2games.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Pyramid-Head-tweet-silent-hill-website-640x260.png" alt="" width="640" height="260" srcset="https://blog.go2games.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Pyramid-Head-tweet-silent-hill-website-640x260.png 640w, https://blog.go2games.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Pyramid-Head-tweet-silent-hill-website-320x130.png 320w, https://blog.go2games.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Pyramid-Head-tweet-silent-hill-website.png 724w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></p>
<p><strong>What happened to <a href="https://www.silenthill.com/">SilentHill.com</a></strong><strong>? </strong>Besides replacing every asset and link with a single screenshot of <a href="https://blog.go2games.com/silent-hill-legends-pyramid-head-problems-what-are-they">The Famous Pyramid Head Tweet</a> (that was a fun one to write about), the meta description reads &#8220;He Was First&#8221;. Perhaps Masahiro Ito had some prior knowledge of this little prank, or it&#8217;s generally referring to the designer&#8217;s agreement with many fans that Silent Hill games dropped in quality the further they got from the third one.</p>
<p>On a related note, Konami announced sometime last year that games from &#8220;new and existing IPs&#8221; will be in development in collaboration with <a href="https://www.blooberteam.com/">BlooberTeam</a>, an indie game company. Will Konami try to replace the &#8216;P&#8217; in CPUs to stand for &#8216;Pachinko&#8217;? Will BlooberTeam touch their hearts enough to magically make them gift Kojima with the Metal Gear Solid rights on Christmas Day? <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLmbC8Pggco">Find out next time on Dragonball Z</a>!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="bt_bb_wrapper"><p>Masahiro Ito, largely known for his work as a lead artist and designer for the early Silent Hill games, recently Tweeted the colorfully-worded hottake of <a href="https://twitter.com/adsk4/status/1495530138922283008">&#8220;I wish I hadn’t designed f**kin Pyramid Head</a>&#8220;!</p>
<p>Naturally, this prompted many a fan&#8217;s curiosity as to why this is the case, myself included. And if you&#8217;re reading this because you&#8217;re expecting an explanation, what a coincidence, I&#8217;d like one too! Ito&#8217;s immediate responses were &#8220;I don&#8217;t Tweet the reason&#8221; and &#8220;The reason is not that I can&#8217;t get paid for the statues. I&#8217;ve never gotten paid for those in the first place&#8221;.</p>
<p>Forget &#8216;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGn9x4-Y_7A&amp;t=14s">Death of the Author</a>&#8216; theory, this is like if the author walked into a pitchfork-wielding mob with a sign that says &#8216;I dare you&#8217; strapped to his back! Not that I&#8217;m complaining, I&#8217;m also partial to sitting back and watching the masses fill in the blanks with their imaginations while sipping a house red and watching the calamity unfold like:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone  wp-image-17679" src="https://blog.go2games.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Alucard-wine-joke-for-Pyramid-Head-Silent-Hill-Blog-640x363.png" alt="" width="624" height="354" srcset="https://blog.go2games.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Alucard-wine-joke-for-Pyramid-Head-Silent-Hill-Blog-640x363.png 640w, https://blog.go2games.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Alucard-wine-joke-for-Pyramid-Head-Silent-Hill-Blog-1024x580.png 1024w, https://blog.go2games.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Alucard-wine-joke-for-Pyramid-Head-Silent-Hill-Blog-320x181.png 320w, https://blog.go2games.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Alucard-wine-joke-for-Pyramid-Head-Silent-Hill-Blog.png 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 624px) 100vw, 624px" /></p>
<p><strong>While I have you, let&#8217;s go over some Pyramid Head trivia to pass the time!</strong></p>
<p>Ito&#8217;s passion for German WW2-era tanks played a role in Pyramid Head&#8217;s design, the edges of his helmet being inspired by the lower hull of a &#8216;king tiger&#8217; tank. Considering Pyramid Head is read by many as a semi-Freudian metaphor for hyper-masculinity and sexual frustration, I suppose it&#8217;s only natural his design be partly based on something that has a long protruding tip designed to blow holes in anything that moves. <em>Wink, wink, nudge, nudge.</em></p>
<p>Amongst other major horror franchises, our triangularly-challenged sword-wielding mascot has been <a href="https://blog.go2games.com/dead-by-daylight-adds-ringu-to-its-world">added to Dead By Daylight</a>.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-17687" src="https://blog.go2games.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Dead-by-Daylight-Silent-Hill-Pyramid-Head.png" alt="" width="610" height="342" srcset="https://blog.go2games.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Dead-by-Daylight-Silent-Hill-Pyramid-Head.png 610w, https://blog.go2games.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Dead-by-Daylight-Silent-Hill-Pyramid-Head-320x179.png 320w" sizes="(max-width: 610px) 100vw, 610px" /></p>
<p>One of Pyramid Head&#8217;s most infamous moments in Silent Hill is a scene where it is assaulting two sentient mannequin enemies. Ito has half-jokingly commented how his involvement in directing the scene made finding a girlfriend difficult. He&#8217;s also claimed Pyramid Head wasn&#8217;t meant to represent overtly sexual primarily, but also act as a symbolic presentation of the protagonist&#8217;s desire to rid himself of his repressed feelings.</p>
<p>And last, but not least, I&#8217;ll love and leave you with<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DH8qipng-KI"> this handy-dandy more lighthearted overview of the character by Fact Fiend</a>. Because when you&#8217;re low on content, a little creative theft never hurt anyone!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="bt_bb_wrapper"><p>Many elements have contributed to the Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game&#8217;s continued relevance over the previous 26 years. Constant releases with new monsters and archetypes that try to shake the game up each set, as well as diverse formats for the game&#8217;s many players, can be found in anime like Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS. Yu-Gi-Oh! has lacked a real digital card game simulator – other than Duel Links &#8211;  for itself over the years, but that has changed with the release of Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel.</p>
<p>Today Konami released the long awaited digital version of the Master Duel format of Yu-Gi-Oh! which follows the traditional TCG rules of the game.</p>
<p><iframe title="Yu-Gi-Oh! MASTER DUEL – launch trailer – 19.01.2022" width="1200" height="675" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/7DbBwNpOkEI?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>There has been a rising demand for tabletop games like Monopoly or even Dungeons &amp; Dragons to be transformed into an easier, digitalized version where the rules of the game are processed automatically by a computer since the emergence of PC games. Other TCGs, such as Pokémon, have long followed suit, and even digital-only card games like Hearthstone have benefited from the trend. Yu-Gi-Oh! released a couple of comparable games, although they were all more like video game adaptations than true digital versions.</p>
<h3>Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel gets Surprise Release!</h3>
<p><img src="https://cdn1.dotesports.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/02170237/Exodia-Master-Duel.png" alt="Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel servers are now live on all platforms - Dot Esports" /></p>
<p>Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel was unveiled in July with the goal of eventually filling that void in the Yu-Gi-Oh portfolio. The game has already been confirmed for future World Championships events, as well as a substantial story mode focused on YGO card lore rather than the plot from the franchise&#8217;s several anime seasons and spin-offs. And now, much to the amazement of fans, it has been launched without warning across all platforms.</p>
<p>The game is free to play and employs gems as a currency for an in-game shop, like Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links. Players can pay real-world cash to cover gems in-game, or they can simply accomplish special event objectives or story tasks to earn gems for free.  These gems are used to buy packs, create decks, and cosmetic accessories.</p>
<p>I’ve spent a little bit of time with the game so far and can say that the game is not stingy when it comes to giving gems as a reward, but whether this remains the case long term we will see.</p>
<p>Master Duel is here, and it&#8217;s built to be the ultimate definitive version of Yu-Gi-Oh! on consoles for hardcore players, after many years of fans longing for a real means to interact with others to enjoy one of their favourite card games. It&#8217;s good to see the gap finally filled after Konami shut down previous fan efforts for years with nothing to take their place.</p>
<p>Some players, however, may see this as yet another way for Konami to profit from Yu-Gi-Oh&#8217;s long-lasting popularity, given how loyal players will need to spend gems and possibly real money to ensure they own their favourite cards in both Master Duel and Duel Links, as well as any of the other upcoming titles like Yu-Gi-Oh! Cross Duel. For now, though things are looking good for Master Duel.</p>
<p><strong>Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel</strong> is out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Switch, and mobile devices.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="bt_bb_wrapper"><p>Unlike my last Dying Light 2 blog, my decision to write on this, plot twist, ISN&#8217;T just because we happen to have <a href="https://www.go2games.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=Dying+Light">Dying Light 2 pre-order copies available</a> (not that I&#8217;m stopping you from getting them, <strong>wink wink, nudge nudge</strong>).</p>
<p>There&#8217;s been some mild (by Twitter standards at least) backlash to Dying Light 2 following<a href="https://blog.go2games.com/dying-light-2-will-take-roughly-500-hours-to-100-the-game"> a recent claim the game will be some 500 hours in length! More on that here</a>. The folks at <a href="https://techland.net/">Techland</a> recently came out with a statement that essentially boils down to &#8220;calm your tits, we&#8217;re not trying to outdo Persona 5 here! What we MEANT was that 100% completion of the whole game will take about 500 hours, the story campaign (excluding multiple runs for different endings) will be about 20 hours. Will that be enough to please Her Majesty&#8217;s Secret Service&#8221;?&#8230; I&#8217;m paraphrasing of course, the day a company says &#8220;calm your tits&#8221; about literally anything is the day I <a href="https://blog.go2games.com/the-gunk-december-release-date-new-footage-and-more">uncritical my race theory</a>!</p>
<p><strong>Fun fact:</strong> According to the official <a href="https://twitter.com/DyingLightGame?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor">Dying Light 2 Twitter</a>, 500 hours would be the approximate time it&#8217;d take to walk from Warsaw to Madrid.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-15328" src="https://blog.go2games.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/crt-droid.png" alt="" width="500" height="575" srcset="https://blog.go2games.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/crt-droid.png 500w, https://blog.go2games.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/crt-droid-320x368.png 320w" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /></p>
<p>More specifically, the Dying Light 2 team have given the following approximations:</p>
<ul>
<li>20 hours to complete the main story.</li>
<li>80 hours to finish the story AND all side quests.</li>
<li>500 hours to “max out” the game with all “choices and endings, checking every place on the map, every dialogue and finding every collectible”.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>So, why DID I choose to talk about this?</strong> Well, sit down and strap on, it&#8217;s story time! There&#8217;s this one small-time not-too-well-known indie gaming bloke you might have heard about? By the name of&#8230; <strong>checks notes</strong>. Hide E.O Couchiema? Kyjama? Kojesus? Ko- Okay, I&#8217;ll stop! Long story short, Metal Gear Solid games. Solid franchise, varying degrees of storytelling quality, always hilariously over-the-top even at the worst of times&#8230; Then Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes happened, where on launch, folks essentially paid 40 quid for what amounted to one 15-30 minute level, presumably because <a href="https://www.konami.com/">Konami</a> felt like giving some cheeky foreshadowing of how they&#8217;d rather sabotage their own business than carry on making video games (though with that attitude, probably for the best they&#8217;re sticking to making Pachinko machines).</p>
<p>That mildly-quirky recap of the situation&#8217;s my way of saying &#8220;well hey, better too much than too little, oi oi&#8221;.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="bt_bb_wrapper"><p>Wronged Us is an upcoming horror title set to release in 2023 inspired by the classic Silent Hill and Dark Souls series. Wronged Us is being developed by <a href="https://delusionalstudio.com/">Delusional Studios</a> and you can peak at the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YONakVv3mSY">gameplay trailer right here</a>. And if you&#8217;re looking to try out the series, we have <a href="https://www.go2games.com/ad-dark-souls-remastered">Dark Souls Remastered for PS4 right here</a>!</p>
<p>The horror game had its gameplay teaser release during the Golden Joystick Awards, so worth keeping them on your radar for potential future titles that could be interesting.</p>
<p>Despite <a href="https://blog.go2games.com/rumors-on-kojimas-silent-hills-proven-false-and-more">rumors on a potential Silent Hill game</a> being sadly dashed on the rocks of fate (on account of <a href="https://www.konami.com/">Konami</a> being the only company in the entire world allergic to the prospect of making money), its effects as a franchise have been strongly felt across many horror games today. Think The Beatles of horror games&#8230; Which is probably a better comparison than I thought considering creepy crawlies in games are a pretty easy way to freak me out! I mean, the spiders in <a href="https://www.go2games.com/g2g-nioh-playstation-hits-ps4">Nioh</a>? Pure unadulterated pasteurized nightmare fuel in pixel form! Feel free to pick it up from our store if you&#8217;re in a particularly calm mood and would like to ruin it.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone wp-image-14772" src="https://blog.go2games.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Spider.gif" alt="" width="468" height="250" /></p>
<p>Wronged Us sees the player as Isaac, a visitor to an unsettling rural town trying to find a missing person. The gameplay features a couple headless folks, a disturbingly tall bloke who looks like a white Kareem Abdul-Jabar and some totally not menacing cult-like congregations by a campfire&#8230; And by campfire, I mean full-on residential arson.</p>
<p>In addition to the game&#8217;s website confirming inspiration from Dark Souls in terms of world design, there will also be some stealth sections and moments of action. Let&#8217;s not mince words, the in-door bits of Isaac hiding behind a sofa and scrambling to blast at The Amazing Wall-Crawling Legally Distinct Monster Man has some clear parallels to The Last of Us combat and Resident Evil&#8217;s Licker enemies.</p>
<figure id="attachment_14782" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-14782" style="width: 438px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="wp-image-14782 size-full" src="https://blog.go2games.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/licker-and-Wronged-Us-monster-1.png" alt="" width="438" height="174" srcset="https://blog.go2games.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/licker-and-Wronged-Us-monster-1.png 438w, https://blog.go2games.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/licker-and-Wronged-Us-monster-1-320x127.png 320w" sizes="(max-width: 438px) 100vw, 438px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-14782" class="wp-caption-text">You Vs The Zombie She Tells You Not To Worry About</figcaption></figure>
<p>The graphics may not be as ultra-crispy-smooth as the usual fare you get from games of this size, but overall, it looks very interesting with the promise of an engaging story and moments of Hitchcockian tension-building. I think an open-world horror game would benefit from a more extreme Lovecraftian aesthetic and enemy variety over the more &#8220;grounded&#8221; domestic-rural horror it&#8217;s going for, but if the devs are making that choice knowing it&#8217;ll be the best way to tell their story, I&#8217;m all eyes and ears!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="bt_bb_wrapper"><p><strong>In the immortal words of Hank Hill: &#8220;Damnit Bobby&#8221;!</strong></p>
<p><strong>The Optional Cutscene: </strong>We have fuller breakdowns on <a href="https://www.activision.com/">Activision Blizzard</a>&#8216;s<a href="https://blog.go2games.com/activision-blizzard-settlement-downsides-and-silver-linings"> legal settlement</a>, <a href="https://blog.go2games.com/activision-blizzards-new-lawsuit-everything-you-need-to-know">the lawsuit</a> and <a href="https://blog.go2games.com/blizzard-employees-demand-the-removal-of-kotick">related accusations to company members</a>, but the seriousness of the controversies are so severe that I had to scroll through <strong>EIGHT LINKS</strong> of news stories on Google just to find the company website! To summarize the key points though: The workplace fostered a &#8220;frat boy&#8221; culture of casual sexual harassment of women, especially towards people of colour. One known instance resulted in a blackmailed employee taking her own life and the company has made a point of donating to anti-union companies to prevent effected employees from combating the corruption of Activision Blizzard&#8217;s heads, whom even partook in a &#8220;<a href="https://blog.go2games.com/blizzard-to-pause-plans-for-online-blizzcon-event-2022">Cosby Suite</a>&#8220;. Let&#8217;s just say it wasn&#8217;t exactly an innocently unknowing homage for fans of The Cosby Show.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-12173" src="https://blog.go2games.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/candles-mourning-candlelight-memory-640x360.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="360" srcset="https://blog.go2games.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/candles-mourning-candlelight-memory-640x360.jpg 640w, https://blog.go2games.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/candles-mourning-candlelight-memory-320x180.jpg 320w, https://blog.go2games.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/candles-mourning-candlelight-memory.jpg 965w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></p>
<p><strong>The Tutorial Report:</strong></p>
<p>On November 16th,<a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/activision-videogames-bobby-kotick-sexual-misconduct-allegations-11637075680?mod=hp_lead_pos5"> a Wallstreet Journal report</a> claimed that Bobby Kotic, Activision CEO, was indeed, aware of the malpractice and misconduct allegations happening at the company. The report even went so far as to say Bobby Kotic himself mistreated female workers (and on a similar note, there was even an allegation of a death threat if Twitter discourse is to be believed&#8230; Which is to say, rarely, but when it&#8217;s right, it&#8217;s right on the money, unlike <a href="https://www.konami.com/">Konami</a>).</p>
<p>As reported via<a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-11-17/playstation-chief-criticizes-activision-response-to-allegations"> Bloomberg article</a>, Jim Ryan (boss at PlayStation) sent an email to employees shortly after the Wallstreet Journal report, wherein he expressed shock that Activision &#8220;has not done enough to address a deep-seated culture of discrimination and harassment&#8221;.</p>
<p>The report goes on to name-drop Call of Duty developer companies <a href="https://www.treyarch.com/content/atvi/treyarch/treyarch-touchui/web/en/home.html">Treyarch</a> and <a href="https://www.sledgehammergames.com/content/atvi/sledgehammer/shg-touchui/web/en/home.html">Sledgehammer Games</a> as guilty studios partaking in the mistreatment of workers</p>
<blockquote><p>“We outreached to Activision immediately after the article was published to express our deep concern and to ask how they plan to address the claims made in the article [&#8230;] We do not believe their statements of response properly address the situation” &#8211; Jim Ryan</p></blockquote>
<p>Considering how many fingers Activision has had in assorted pies of the gaming world before the controversy leaked, none too surprising the folks at PlayStation have a reason to condemn Activision, as the company helped in the development of many successful franchises. Said titles include Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice,<a href="https://www.go2games.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=call+of+duty"> Call of Duty</a>, Crash Bandicoot, <a href="https://www.go2games.com/spyro-trilogy-reignited-xbox-one">Spyro</a>,<a href="https://www.go2games.com/world-of-warcraft-mists-of-pandaria-collector-s-mousemat"> World of Warcraft</a> and Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater. If you want to try any of these admittedly great games without supporting the company itself, then have a look round the Go2Games store.</p>
<p>And for the admittedly slim minority of you that think this is a case of &#8220;<strong>virtue signalling</strong>&#8221; or disingenuous &#8220;<strong>woke</strong>&#8220;-point scoring, then I point you to the one-two-combo of Hbomberguy videos on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06yy88tLWlg&amp;t=669s">Woke Branding</a> and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAmM872874A">Virtue Signalling</a>. Which is to say &#8220;fair enough, companies are not your friend, 99.99% of the time they do stuff because it&#8217;s profitable first&#8221; (unless you&#8217;re Konami) while at the same time also acknowledging that signalling your agreement with a certain virtue does not mean the virtue itself is a bad one&#8230; And heck, to diversify things a little, maybe try <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JlQuH7c01Dc">Tara Mooknee&#8217;s Virtue vs Vice Signalling</a>.<strong> I have it on good authority that her episodes are in fact written by a cow that may appear in the next video if you like and subscribe</strong>!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="bt_bb_wrapper"><h4>The stealth games have been taken down due to an issue emerging with the historical footage used in-game</h4>
<p><a href="https://blog.go2games.com/?s=Konami">Konami</a> announced today that it will be taking down games <a href="https://blog.go2games.com/konami-major-revivals-for-franchises-like-castlevania-silent-hill-and-metal-gear-solid-are-set-for-2022"><em>Metal Gear Solid 2 </em>and </a><em><a href="https://blog.go2games.com/konami-major-revivals-for-franchises-like-castlevania-silent-hill-and-metal-gear-solid-are-set-for-2022">Metal Gear Solid 3</a> </em>after the company faces licensing issues regarding the historical footage used in both games.</p>
<p>The games are being temporarily taken down from digital storefronts and it is unknown when the issue will be resolved.</p>
<h2><em>Metal Gear Solid</em></h2>
<p>The takedown of <em>Metal Gear Solid 2 </em>and <em>Metal Gear Solid 3 </em>is the original release and every digital release that includes those two games, including <em>Metal Gear Solid HD. </em>Konami released a statement regarding the issue.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<blockquote>
<h6></h6>
<h6 id="h3015" class="sc-1bwb26k-1 kpbNNd">*** [Important Notification] Temporary removal of METAL GEAR SOLID 2 and METAL GEAR SOLID 3 from digial storefronts (PlayStation®3, Xbox 360, Nintendo 3DS, etc.)</h6>
<p class="sc-77igqf-0 bOfvBY">Thank you for playing the METAL GEAR series.</p>
<p class="sc-77igqf-0 bOfvBY">We are currently working on renewing the licenses for select historical archive footage used in-game, therefore, we have made the temporary decision to begin suspending the sale of METAL GEAR SOLID 2, METAL GEAR SOLID 3 and all products that include these games from digital storefronts globally starting from November 8th, 2021.</p>
<p class="sc-77igqf-0 bOfvBY">We sincerely ask for your patience and understanding as we work towards making these products available for purchase once again.</p>
<p class="sc-77igqf-0 bOfvBY">Thank you for your continued support of the METAL GEAR series. &#8211; <a href="https://kotaku.com/metal-gear-solid-games-being-removed-over-historical-fo-1848013833">Konami</a>.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>It is unclear what historical footage Konami means exactly, or whether it&#8217;s a collective bunch of footage that is causing the problem, but there&#8217;s a lot of footage from the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbfhmuxsorY&amp;ab_channel=RevivedRevolution">Cold War</a>, for example, used within the games.</p>
<p>The full list of games that have been taken down include the following:</p>
<p><em>・METAL GEAR SOLID 2 SONS OF LIBERTY HD EDITION </em>(PS3)<br />
<em>・METAL GEAR SOLID 3 SNAKE EATER HD EDITION </em>(PS3)<br />
<em>・METAL GEAR SOLID HD EDITION </em>(PS3)<br />
<em>・METAL GEAR SOLID 2 SONS OF LIBERTY HD EDITION </em>(PS Vita)<br />
<em>・METAL GEAR SOLID 3 SNAKE EATER HD EDITION </em>(PS Vita)<br />
<em>・METAL GEAR SOLID HD COLLECTION </em>(PS Vita)<br />
<em>・METAL GEAR SOLID HD COLLECTION </em>(PS Now)<br />
<em>・METAL GEAR SOLID HD EDITION: 2 &amp; 3 </em>(Xbox 360)<br />
<em>・METAL GEAR SOLID SNAKE EATER 3D </em>(Nintendo 3DS)<br />
<em>・METAL GEAR SOLID 2 SUBSTANCE </em>(GOG.com)<br />
<em>・METAL GEAR SOLID 2 HD for SHIELD TV </em>(Nvidia Shield)<br />
<em>・METAL GEAR SOLID 3 HD for SHIELD TV </em>(Nvidia Shield)</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>It is unknown when the games will be back up again so stay tuned for more.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="bt_bb_wrapper"><p>The infamous games publisher Konami is set to become the new flower of Scotland. Responsible for a variety of legendary franchises, including Castlevania and Metal Gear, they have announced it will publish <em>Cygni: All Guns Blazing.</em> How is this related to Scotland though, I hear you ask? Well it appears the new arcade-style shoot-em up is being developed in Scotland by new studio KeelWorks. How exciting.</p>
<p>Based in Edinburgh, the KeelWorks website states they intend to &#8220;create high quality and fun entertainment experiences with specific focus on video games, high-end 3D animation, visual-effects, and music composition&#8221;. Previously, their founders have produced work across film and animation, with game director Nareg Kalenderian even having worked at Pixar. It wasn&#8217;t on Brave by any chance?</p>
<p>It should be noted that this experience will be particularly important as the game intends to be a &#8220;twin-stick vertical scrolling shooter hyped with cinematic flare&#8221;. Konami&#8217;s other franchises have given us some <a href="https://www.gamesradar.com/uk/top-10-moments-metal-gear-history/">spectacular moments,</a> and without a doubt we&#8217;re sure Cygni will deliver too. Check out the intro trailer down below:</p>
<p><iframe title="Cygni: All Guns Blazing [PS4/PS5/XOne/XSX/PC] Intro Trailer" width="1200" height="675" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/gQsdRWZ9t0s?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<h3>Konami and KeelWorks: The New Deadly Duo?</h3>
<p>Could this be the start of a special relationship? Founder and CEO at Keelworks LTD, Meher Kalenderian, certainly seems to think so.</p>
<p>“As a small indie company, KeelWorks was in need of an investment to grow its team and dedicate its full attention and time to the development of its first venture, <em>Cygni</em>. Of all the publishers we spoke to, our communication with Konami was different from the start and it stood out among the rest. With a long and wide-ranging history of work on classic shmups, Konami immediately recognised the direction in which <em>Cygni</em> was heading and decided to bet on its potential outcome.”</p>
<h3>What Is Cygni: All Guns Blazing Actually About?</h3>
<p>From what we&#8217;ve heard, the game is undoubtedly  going to be a blast. It is described on Steam as being  &#8220;An unrelenting onslaught of eye-popping visuals, ear bursting soundscapes and mind-melting action makes Cygni the vanguard for the next generation of shoot-em ups. Outgunned, outmanned and out on your own, plunge into a sky full of hell in a last-ditch battle for survival.&#8221;  If that hasn&#8217;t got you intrigued by now, I don&#8217;t know what will.</p>
<p>Keelworks will be hoping Konami&#8217;s name will hope them get similar sales to their other franchises. The main games in the Metal Gear Solid series have consistently got over 6 million sales worldwide. Moreover, Castlevania: Lord of Shadows also managed to rack up an impressive 1.77 million sales. If Cyngi: All Guns Blazing can get anywhere near these figures both companies will be extremely happy.</p>
<p><em>Cygni</em> is set to be released on <a href="https://www.nme.com/tag/pc">PC</a> in 2023, and the official <a href="https://www.cygnigame.com/" target="_blank">website</a> does note that the team will “consider other platforms in the future”. Announced last year, it&#8217;s clearly been in development for sometime. As Konami already have an action-packed <a href="https://blog.go2games.com/konami-major-revivals-for-franchises-like-castlevania-silent-hill-and-metal-gear-solid-are-set-for-2022">2022 lined up</a>, we&#8217;re excited to see what the publishers will unfold. Make sure to pick up some awesome Metal Gear Solid figures <a href="https://www.go2games.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=Metal+gear+solid">here</a> by the way! <img src="https://www.nme.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Cygni_Still_04.jpg" /><img src="https://www.nme.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Cygni_Still_08.jpg" /></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="bt_bb_wrapper"><h2>The title, in desperate need, was previously set to receive its first update at the end of October.</h2>
<p>Konami&#8217;s newly-launched free-to-play <em>eFootball 2022</em> had a famously horrific launch. Many users noticed a litany of bugs, glitches, and peculiarities. Examples of which circulated around social media&#8230; in numbers.<em> eFootball 2022</em> then went on to becoming Steam&#8217;s worst-reviewed game of all time, all of which forced Konami to issue a public apology for the state of their game, affirming there will be an update later this month.</p>
<p>&#8220;We are very sorry for the problems and want to assure everyone we will take all concerns seriously and strive to improve the current situation,&#8221; <span class="highlightedTerm">Konami</span> said at the time. &#8220;This work will be continuously updated, quality will be improved, and content will be added consistently. From next week onward, we will prepare for an update in October while receiving further opinions through questionnaires to our users.&#8221;</p>
<p>It is safe to say that the ambitious reincarnation of <em>Pro Evolution Soccer</em> is in desperate need of this update. Well, as of today, <span class="highlightedTerm"><span class="TextHighlight--leo">Konami</span></span><span class="TextHighlight--leo"> has delayed the update </span><span class="TextHighlight--leo">in order to &#8220;ensure the experience is improved for all [its] users&#8221;.</span></p>
<p><span class="TextHighlight--leo">The update – which will now roll out in November – was initially expected by the end of this month, October, but </span><span class="highlightedTerm"><span class="TextHighlight--leo">Konami</span></span><span class="TextHighlight--leo"> says it needs &#8220;additional time&#8221; and says it will announce the date and details of the fixes &#8220;as soon as they are confirmed&#8221;.</span></p>
<p>We would like to inform users that we have decided to delay the release of version 0.9.1. to early November. We sincerely apologize for the delay and the inconvenience caused. Our hope is that the additional time taken will allow us to ensure the experience is improved for all our users,&#8221; the &#8220;<span class="highlightedTerm">Konami</span> Team&#8221; explained in a statement published on Twitter.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Update for our followers: <a href="https://t.co/uCWiqitO52">pic.twitter.com/uCWiqitO52</a></p>
<p>&mdash; eFootball (@play_eFootball) <a href="https://twitter.com/play_eFootball/status/1451518849979977730?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 22, 2021</a></p></blockquote>
<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>&#8220;We will announce the date and details of the fixes as soon as they are confirmed. In the meantime, we will continue to work on improving the game and look forward to working with you on eFootball 2022. Thank you for your patience.&#8221;</p>
<p>The lost opportunity of<em> eFootball</em> is genuinely a great shame. There was potential for a new era of virtual football which would divert players away from FIFA&#8217;s dominance of the genre. Konami&#8217;s project was equally as risky as it was dangerous, and so far, it seems the risk did not pay off. Hopefully, they can turn it around with some significant updates and tweaks to the overall game.</p>
<p>In other news, October has seen some big next-gen titles being released, including the likes of <em>FIFA 22</em>,<em> Far Cry 6</em> and <em>Left 4 Dead’s</em> spiritual successor, <em>Back 4 Blood</em>. You can purchase all of these titles, as well as pre-ordering Call of Duty Vanguard, from our <a href="https://www.go2games.com/">Go2Games</a> website.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="bt_bb_wrapper"><h4>Major Japanese publisher Konami is reportedly making a comeback next year with some of its biggest franchises</h4>
<p>According to <a href="https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/konami-is-set-to-revive-metal-gear-castlevania-and-silent-hill/">VGC</a>, <a href="https://www.konami.com/en/">Konami</a> is set to make a huge return into the gaming industry with major franchises that have been dormant for a good few years.</p>
<p>The Japanese publisher is one of the largest in the gaming industry, however, has been lacking some new releases for their biggest titles, such as <em><a href="https://www.konami.com/games/castlevania/eu/en/">Castlevania</a>, <a href="https://www.konami.com/games/eu/en/products/shhd/">Silent Hill</a>, </em>and <em><a href="https://www.konami.com/games/eu/en/products/mgshd/">Metal Gear Solid</a>, </em>but that is set to change thanks to an anonymous source that spoke to the UK based gaming news source.</p>
<h2>Konami&#8217;s Return</h2>
<p>Over the past few years, Konami has decreased its output of console games and turned its attention to Pachinko gambling games in Japan (something very fun and very very addicting so kudos for them). However, the company has stated it has had a recent restructure and is set to bring back its biggest franchises in various ways.</p>
<p>The first in the lineup is a new <em>Castlevania</em> game, described as a &#8220;reimagining&#8221; of the series. <em>Castlevania </em>has already made a comeback recently with the <a href="https://blog.go2games.com/castlevania-advanced-collection-finally-available-to-play-on-nintendo-switch"><em>Castlevania Advanced Collection</em></a><em> </em>for the Nintendo Switch (and soon to be other consoles), yet the last, new <em>Castlevania </em>game that was released by Konami was in 2014 with <a href="https://www.konami.com/games/eu/en/products/cvlos2/">C<em>astlevania: Lords of Shadow 2</em></a>. <em>Castlevania </em>has always been a popular title, yet since then, the vampire hunting franchise has gotten bigger thanks to the Netflix animated series first released in 2017. The new game is stated to already be in development at Konami, with the support of external studios.</p>
<p>It is also said multiple games for the <em>Silent Hill </em>franchise are currently in development at various external development studios. The last game from the main series published by Konami was <em><a href="https://www.konami.com/games/eu/en/products/shdp/">Silent Hill Downpour</a>, </em>released back in 2012. The news of this project came earlier in the year, but also carried a lot of speculation since the team at the independent studio <a href="https://www.blooberteam.com/">Bloober</a> did not deny nor confirm what the team was working on. There was also another rumour that Japanese video game designer Kojima could be working on one of the many new games, yet it has <a href="https://blog.go2games.com/rumors-on-kojimas-silent-hills-proven-false-and-more">been confirmed to be false</a>.</p>

<p>Another franchise Konami has a new game in development for is <em>Metal Gear Solid</em>. <em>Metal Gear Solid </em>has also not received a new game for some time, with the last title being <em><a href="https://www.konami.com/games/eu/en/products/mg_survive/">Metal Gear Solid: Survive</a>, </em>released back in 2018. It is said that gaming developer <a href="https://www.virtuosgames.com/">Virtuos</a> is working with Konami to bring the project to life, along with the remasters of the <em>Metal Gear Solid </em>games for modern consoles. The developer has recently worked on the Switch ports for franchises such as <em>Dark Souls, BioShock, </em>and <em>Battlefield</em>. It is said that the new project will be centred around <em>Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, </em>which will go down well with fans of that particular instalment.</p>
<p>So, a busy year is in store for Konami. The Japanese publisher has told VGC that we can expect to see all of these publically showcased in major shows next year- the company had to pull out of <a href="https://blog.go2games.com/?s=E3+2021">E3 2021</a> due to timing issues, but it seems it&#8217;s ready to come back swinging into the industry with all these hefty instalments lined up.</p>
