Assassin’s Creed Valhalla has received the Mastery Challenge Pack 2. Released on Tuesday 19th April, the update is free for players on all platforms. Watch the trailer below.

Ubisoft’s Update 1.5.1 features nearly 200 bug fixes or improvements to both Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and the Dawn of Ragnarok edition. These focus mainly on combat, quests, the UI or HUD, and general gameplay. You can read the list here.

Mastery Challenges 2: Electric Boogaloo

However, the main focus is the update to the Mastery Challenge. Mastery Challenge was originally released last year and included a new storyline and a trial system offering challenges and rewards. The new update brings a new story to the pack, along with 3 more shrines to access the trials and rewards in the game. The trials culminate in a boss fight that combines elements from each of the trials. The rewards include the “Valkyrie Armor set, all-new weapons, a tattoo set, and new settlement cosmetics.”

Ostara Returns

Mastery Challenge Pack 2 also brings back the Ostara festival to Ravensthorpe. The Ostara festival runs for a limited time, from April 21st to May 12th. Last year, the Ostara festival included a variety of combat and non-combat activities and it looks as though this year’s will follow the same theme. Activities include an egg-hunt, archery contests, drinking contests and brawling. Players can take part in these festivities both day and night and earn tokens to win the same prizes as last year. These prizes are mainly settlement decorations or cosmetics. You can read more about the festival here.

In the real world, Ostara is a pagan festival to mark the Spring equinox that usually takes place in March. However, perhaps Ubisoft are focusing on the Easter season instead this year.

Updates Continuing Through Spring Season

In addition to this update, Ubisoft also supplied a roadmap for the Spring season. Update 1.5.2 is expected in May and a new Armoury feature is also set to join. The Armory is a new building which can be built in Ravensthorpe that allows you to customize and display your favorite gear sets. The building accommodates up to five loadouts of weapons, armour, and skills. Once they are saved, players can access these loadouts from anywhere in the game.

Both the Mastery Challenges and the Ostara festival are free for players, but there is a prerequisite for each. In order to play the Mastery Challenges, Ubisoft states: “Players must be at least Power Level 221, have completed the Uninvited Guests main quest after reporting on Grantebridgescire and Ledecestrescire, and have completed the narrative quest from Mastery Challenge Pack 1.” Similarly, to take part in the Ostara festival, “players must reach England and complete one of the first two narrative arcs (Grantebridgescire or Ledecestrescire) and have a settlement at Level 2.”

Finally, Ubisoft also announced that Assassin’s Creed Origins is coming to Xbox Game Pass.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and Origins can be bought from Go2Games and is available on PlayStation, Xbox, PC or from the Ubisoft store.

The update also addresses a number of unnamed bugs “for more pleasant gameplay.” The patch notes may be seen below.

The Outbound Ghost, Updates, New Characters, Consoles & PC

Conradical Games will be releasing a Paper Mario & Undertale inspired Game, with their already released Demo on Steam after getting 285% funded. The popularity increases by the second and Conradical Games continues to update backers and followers on Twitter, Youtube, Steam, Discord and through the Kickstarter Campaign. Impressive, but well deserved. Conradical Games has not once left their backers in the dark, we are always being notified of the amazing additions they’re making to the game.

Here’s a list of some of what we’ve gotten so far. But first…

What is The Outbound Ghost?

For those of you who haven’t heard of The Outbound Ghost, it’s an RPG adventure game, developed by Conradical Games and inspired by Paper Mario & Undertale. The game follows the story of our protagonist who dies in a car crash and ends up in the outskirts of a town called ‘Outbound’. Looking to gain back their memories and cause of death, they meet some other ghosts along the way. You must help these characters come to terms with the afterlife so they pass on in peace.

“In the world of The Outbound Ghost, ghosts are the embodiment of regret. Most people go to the afterlife after dying, yet those who were unhappy with their previous lives become ghosts and are forced to haunt the Earth until they right their wrongs. Of course, this is not always possible since doing this as a ghost is orders of magnitude harder than when you are a human.” – Conradical Games-

What’s been worked on so far?

Updates can be found on Conradical Games Kickstarter page, Youtube Channel, Twitter Page & Steam. We’ve decided to share their 3 most recent Kickstarter posts which include The Outbound Ghost soundtrack, introduction to a new character and a look on camera angles and perspective.

The Outbound Ghost Soundtrack

This beautiful soundtrack has been created by Kimmsoft who is also working on Aria Disconnect. We can all agree that soundtracks help to give body to a certain scene, dialogue or gameplay and build the atmosphere. The music is truly enchanting and gives off the vibes of love, loss, pain, regret, community and hope.

(But hey, that’s just my opinion, perhaps I’m also secretly hoping these soundtracks will be available to purchase).

Introduction To A New Character & Mechanic

https://twitter.com/OutboundGhost/status/1459551644388151306

Conradical Games demonstrates their new mechanics while introducing us to a mysterious-masked character. Wonder what this little guy’s story is…He has the appearance of a thief, perhaps one in their past life? Conradical games don’t delve into too much detail about this character, however, they do explain their new mechanic.

The protagonist can hide in bushes and shade to hide from the mysterious sneaky ghost and hopefully avoid them getting past, towards the other side of the boulder.

Conradical Games then continues to ask what we think will happen if they catch us. Personally, I somewhat hope for a battle similar to what we’ve seen with shirley or perhaps a completely new mini-game, a surprise we haven’t encountered before.

A look at Camera Angles & Perspective

3rd person Perspective Vs ‘Top-down’ View

Conradical Games has gone on to show us their progress in the game development and has asked us all which we prefer for this area, top-down or 3rd person perspective. We’ve added the two down below for you to have a look yourself, it would be helpful to leave your comments down below!

I feel as though both views are fantastic, it would be a good idea to have a change of view, depending on the section of that area the player enters. Take NieR Replicant or NieR Automata for example. There had been a change of perspective from third person perspective to a 2D platform-style. Changes like that truly add to the essence of a specific area and sometimes make it more memorable.

I'll be posting stuff related to The Outbound Ghost on this Twitter account from now on! If you wanna see progress videos of development, I suggest you give it a follow! https://t.co/7sTuQFjccm

Overall

Conradical Games does not fail to let us backers and non-backers know what they’ve been planning, it’s truly a community where we feel as though we’re taken along on the journey of game development, the characters and the creation of the Outbound world.

Wishlist this game on steam if you have to!

We look forward to seeing this release in 2022. The Discord community is a great way to keep in touch with the developer and other fans of the Outbound Ghost.

No more deleting old games for standard updates…

Nintendo has released a new update for the Switch, which makes patching games with full storage much easier.

Previously users would often have to uninstall games to download big updates for other games. This is a common issue across previous-gen consoles (i.e. not PS5, Xbox Series S/X); I would often have to uninstall games to update other games, a tedious process indeed. Well, for Switch users, worry no more.

The patch notes for version 12.1.0 are as follows:

• If there is not enough space remaining on the system memory (internal storage) or microSD card when downloading game software update data, you can now delete old data for software, enabling you to download the new data.
• When deleting old data, you won’t be able to play the game until the new data has finished downloading.
• Alongside this, there have been general stability improvements to enhance user experience.

Additionally, there is a Joy-Con update as well (although not mentioned in patch notes). To update your Joy-Cons, head to system settings, then controllers and sensors, then update controllers.

As Call of Duty: Mobile Season 4 wraps up, Activision has announced the theme for Season 5, mere days before its release.

The official Call of Duty: Mobile Twitter account has been slowly teasing the new content for the latest season. While final details are still unknown, they did announce what Season 5’s theme will be about.

https://twitter.com/PlayCODMobile/status/1407745335452110853?s=20

Due to come out June 30, Season 5: In Deep Water is expected to make a splash amongst fans with its water-themed surprises and soaking-fun content. The new season is set to introduce several harbour-themed maps (new and returning), new weapons, and a brand new battle pass for fans to explore.

Past seasons from this year have been titled: New Order, Day of Reckoning, Tokyo Escape, and Spurned & Burned.

🗺 New location intel has been identified!

📍 Suldal Harbor
📍 Docks
📍 Aniyah Incursion

✔ Destinations incoming to #CODMobile in the next season! pic.twitter.com/yJW9Txbjy0

— Call of Duty: Mobile (@PlayCODMobile) June 24, 2021

The three maps that were announced along with the theme are; Suldal Harbor, a map located on the Black Sea that will push players to battle between buildings and bunkers; Docks, a map located next to a London shipyard that hails from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and was originally designed for 2v2 gunfight battles; and Aniyah Incursion, a map located in Central Asia which is another returning map from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and will have players battle in a cloudy-rain environment.

The weapons being added so far are the CR-56 AMAX assault rifle and 725 double-barrel shotgun. It is unclear what the guns will do to the games’ current meta status, but the assault rifle has a reputation for being a steady low-recoil weapon and the shotgun is a more niche weapon that really packs a punch.

Fans are definitely excited to see the return of maps, as well as looking forward to the exciting content that’s to come. For now, we will have to patiently wait for the Twitter account to give us more information.

Call of Duty: Mobile is available on iOS and Android.

Valheim’s most recent update allows players to craft their own maypoles, alongside some general bug fixes…

Valheim, the Viking survival simulator, exploded onto the scene when it launched through Early Access on Steam earlier this year. We witnessed exponential growth in the popularity of the game after it began receiving overwhelmingly positive reviews.

Throughout this process, the developers have constantly been working on the game. This has led to an all-new patch of bug fixes released for Valheim today.

For those who don’t know, Valheim is a brutal exploration and survival game that can feature anywhere from 1-10 players. It is set in a procedurally generated purgatory inspired by Viking culture/Norse mythology. To leave Valheim and gain passage into an afterlife in Valhalla, players must scavenge, craft equipment, survive the environment, and slay the ferocious realm conquering beasts. Battle, build and conquer your way to a saga worthy of Odin’s patronage.

The developers latest patch, 0.155.7, primarily focuses on bug fixes and balancing tweaks. However, a major addition that players will undoubtedly be pleased about is the ability to craft your own maypole. Previously, you had to go out of your way to find them in abandoned villages. Now you can simply craft them as a part of the furniture for your humble abode.

https://twitter.com/Valheimgame/status/1407736331242033161?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1407736331242033161%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fgamerant.com%2Fvalheim-update-build-maypole%2F

Maypoles were highly coveted items, as they increase Comfort Level when resting next to them. Comfort Level is an important thing to monitor in Valheim, as when kept high, you can receive a damage buff which can be extremely helpful for those tough boss fights.

More general fixed issues include:

• Saves being corrupted when exiting the game.
• Players having to click containers multiple times to open them during multiplayer sessions.
• SFX volume setting in the menu using wrong decibel conversion
• AI issues, e.g. Greydwards are now allowed to throw more accurately and farther, stopping bosses from running away from players, tweaking Valheim’s wolf event so it only triggers are the boss Bonemass has been slain etc.

The patch isn’t the most exciting for those who are desperate for new content to play through. However, the introductions of craftable maypoles and some of the tweaks will likely be welcomed by all Valheim players alike.

Miiverse is now set for a redesign and NEW features, coming this Summer

the 3DS & Wii U will be looking a whole lot different after it’s been updated, and players will be able to take 100 screenshots that will be available in personal albums so that other users won’t be able to see them. as well as this, a new play journal feature will be installed. this will allow players to record their thoughts on games as they’re playing them. this feature is a replacement of the activity feed, so you won’t be able to use this activity feed once the updates are installed.

Communities will be redesigned as well, and you can see more information on this in three separate sections. The photo above shows this.

the final change is that you’ll be able to post in succession more regularly. not including in-game posts, you can post up to 30 comments/posts a day.

There is not yet a set date for the Miiverse updates beyond “summer”, but we’d imagine it’ll be some time soon.
