Overwatch 2 Season 15, Honor and Glory, is now live with the release of the game's latest update, bringing with it a huge change to how it is played: Perks. It also sees the return of loot boxes, updates to Overwatch 2's competitive mode, and more. You can see the full patch notes below.

The addition of Perks is by far the biggest feature of Season 15. There are basically no balance changes, aside from the game-altering addition of four perks for each hero. Over the course of a match, players will earn XP from dealing damage, earning eliminations, and healing allies. As players level up, they'll get to choose between one of two minor Perks at level two and one of two Major Perks at level three.

Minor Perks augment existing abilities in smaller ways, while Major Perks are designed to be a game-changing moment that can massively change how an ability works or even grant a hero an entirely new one. Blizzard says the feature will add more player choice and strategy to matches. For a full breakdown of all the new Perk abilities for each hero, check out the patch notes at the bottom of this article.

NetEase has released the first look at The Thing gameplay in Marvel Rivals, the latest Vanguard joining the hero shooter roster. The Thing arrives alongside Human Torch on February 21 and will be free-to-play, just like all current and future heroes.

The new trailer shows off The Thing's abilities as a tank, which mostly involve clobbering enemies. His main attack combo is a series of punches, and he has a more powerful punch with better range as an ability. The Thing can also sprint, knocking enemies up in his path and finishing with a powerful ground pound.

The Thing also has a support-focused ability, which allows him to leap to a nearby teammate, giving himself bonus health when he reaches them. The bonus health comes from rocks that float around The Thing and give bonus health when destroyed by enemies. This was paired with his team-up with Wolverine, which allows him to throw Wolverine as part of the fastball special, a team-up already in the game with Hulk. His ultimate is a large ground pound, which deals damage in an outward cone, knocking up enemies hit, leaving them vulnerable to other attacks.

Silksong, the highly anticipated sequel to Hollow Knight that has the player take control of the mysterious Hornet, has been removed from Nintendo's eShop. While the game is still listed on the PlayStation Store, Xbox, Steam, and the Nintendo eShop in the EU, the circumstances of why it was removed from Nintendo's North American eShop is a mystery.

A strong theory is that it's being moved to a Switch 2 launch and not outright canceled. Just last month, developer Team Cherry assured fans that development was going smoothly and that the game would indeed be released at some point.

Yes the game is real, progressing and will release. <3

— Matthew Griffin (@griffinmatta) January 18, 2025

"Yes the game is real, progressing and will release," said Team Cherry marketing and publishing lead Matthew Griffin, in response to a fan asking about Hollow Knight: Silksong's development. Unfortunately, no other details were given. Since being announced six years ago, updates have been sparse and sporadic at best.

Earlier this year, The Witcher 3 director Konrad Tomaszkiewicz and his company, Rebel Wolves, shared the first look at The Blood of Dawnwalker. This action-RPG will put players in control of the titular Dawnwalker, Coen, a half-human/half-vampire hybrid who has 30 days and nights to save his family. But if players spend too much time in The Blood of Dawnwalker, then Coen may not be able to finish his quest.

During a recent interview with PC Gamer, Tomaszkiewicz compared the experience in The Blood of Dawnwalker to The Witcher 3's Geralt playing the card game Gwint instead of helping out Ceri in her hour of need. There weren't any consequences if players took their time before rejoining the main story. But in The Blood of Dawnwalker, Tomaszkiewicz noted that wasted time could prove to be fatal for Coen's family.

"If you had some resource, and you know that maybe if you don't go, something would happen--then your thinking about this game would be different, and maybe the immersion would be better, and maybe your emotions would be different," said Tomaszkiewicz.

Several Marvel Rivals developers at NetEase Games have been laid off, according to the game's director, Thaddeus Sasser.

Over on LinkedIn, Sasser said, "My stellar, talented team just helped deliver an incredibly successful new franchise in Marvel Rivals for NetEase Games...and were just laid off!" All six of Marvel Rivals' America-based devs were reportedly let go, two of whom were level designers.

These layoffs in particular come as a surprise given that Marvel Rivals has been incredibly successful and popular since its launch in December. During its first 72 hours on the market, Marvel Rivals hit 10 million players worldwide. The number doubled the following week to 20 million players.

Activision has announced Call of Duty: Recon Squad--but it's not the next entry in the series. Recon Squad is a new community feedback program that Activision is launching to gather thoughts and opinions from fans about the state of the game. Activision is debuting this as online sentiment around the state of Call of Duty is wavering, with many saying Activision is not doing enough to support the game.

In a blog post, Activision said Black Ops 6 and Warzone players may receive an invitation to join Recon Squad via an invitation from the market research company Fuel Cycle.

"You'll have opportunities to provide feedback through surveys, online community discussion boards, and potentially even invited to focus groups," Activision said.

Marvel Rivals has been a big success on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC, but the game hasn't come to Nintendo Switch. With the Switch 2 on the horizon for 2025, some are wondering if the superhero shooter could come to the new Nintendo system, and it doesn't sound too far fetched.

Producer Weicong Wu told IGN that NetEase is already speaking with Nintendo and "working on some development kits" for the Switch 2.

"Whenever we find that we could provide great performance for our game on Switch 2, we're open to that," Wu said. "The reason why we didn't launch it onto the Switch, it was the first generation of that device they cannot provide a great experience for our gameplay. So if it could achieve that goal, we're open to that."

Marvel Rivals has released the first trailer for the Human Torch, the next Duelist coming to the hero shooter and one of the two remaining Fantastic Four joining the roster. The Human Torch will be added as part of the Season 1 mid-season update on February 21, alongside The Thing.

The new trailer shows that Johnny Storm will be primarily a flying character, similar to Iron Man or Storm. His primary fire is a fireball he throws that leaves a small burning area on the ground where it hits. He has six charges, which appear to recharge over time instead of being reloaded. Human Torch can also use a dive attack, which propels him into the ground, dealing damage and knocking enemies back.

Another ability the Human Torch has is to create a square of fire, with the borders of the square dealing damage to anyone standing on them or crossing over. His ultimate ability lets him throw out multiple fire tornadoes, which move around after being placed. The trailer also showed his team-up with Storm, which set her ultimate ability--also a tornado--on fire, presumably doing even more damage than usual. Johnny's flying ability and high-damage output is likely to make him a popular pick once he drops.

One of the original Xbox's designers, Seamus Blackley, said that computing power isn't a helpful selling point anymore when it comes to consoles.

In an interview with VideoGamer, Blackley said that the power-first approach worked for the original Xbox back in 2001 since graphics weren't as polished as they are now. Focusing the narrative on computing power helped the Xbox stand out among Japanese hardware companies.

"We were a Western company and we were saying 'Okay, we’re going to lose money on these to make them super powerful' and take a bet on the games being awesome," Blackley explained. Back then, the original Xbox was the only console with a built-in hard drive that could handle games like Halo: Combat Evolved, The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, Fable, and Shenmue 2.

The Mapping the Living Lands quest comes to an end in Avowed once you reach the final region of Galawain's Tusks. Sanza is missing one last cartographer somewhere in the fiery region and it's your job to find out where they are. Unlike the other cartographers in Mapping the Living Lands, however, the one in Galawain's Tusks is alive and well, and you have a decision to make regarding their fate.

To see where the Galawain's Tusks cartographer is located in Avowed and how to finally complete Mapping the Living Lands, keep reading the guide below.

Galawain's Tusks Cartographer location in Avowed

This jail tower is called "Soreena's Mercy" and it's located to the northwest of Solace Keep.

Some of the most popular Strategists in Marvel Rivals are about to become less overpowered, as developer NetEase has revealed some of the balance changes coming as part of the game's mid-Season 1 update.

In a "Dev Vision" video, NetEase took aim at what it calls the "Triple Strategist Terror" meta that has begun to form at the game's higher competitive ranks. In the first half of Season 1, characters like Cloak & Dagger, Invisible Woman, and Loki have proven invaluable and extremely powerful, as their healing ultimate abilities have the potential to bring matches to a grinding halt for an extended period of time. Adding insult to injury is that they recharge incredibly quickly, meaning they can be used frequently.

That's now about to change. While NetEase said it's happy that there are more viable options aside from a classic two-tank, two-DPS, and two-support lineup, the current three-strategist meta has led to some "oppressive moments." As a result, ultimate energy costs are going up for the game's most powerful support ultimates, which will translate to them being used less often. There will also be some targeted nerfs to characters like Cloak & Dagger, currently the most-picked hero in the game.

In Avowed, you can find treasure maps in each region that lead you to unique gear, if you can find the location on the map. In the Emerald Stair you can find the Practical Pockets treasure map, which is being sold by the vendor at The Gifted Magpie in Fior mes Ivérno. Once you have purchased the treasure map, you will get a side quest of the same name, tasking you with locating it using the image on the map.

Jump down into the small area to find a large chest, which contains Hjilde's Handy Hide, a set of Fine armor.

The treasure is in this small cove in the mountain.

Hjilde's Handy Hide has two unique passive abilities, the first being All Seasons, which reduces incoming fire, frost, and shock damage by 10%. The second is the Survivor passive, which grants 40 maximum health. While the armor set isn't a higher quality than most of the armor found in the Emerald Stair, its unique passive abilities might be appealing to you.

Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii brings back the Ounabara Vocational School quiz tests. In a similar fashion to previous Like a Dragon games, you'll have to go through more than a dozen exams answering five questions at a time. Most of them feature a pool of around 10 questions, and you only need to guess three correctly to pass the exam--until the final one, that is.

Once you've reached Honolulu, the substory called "The Smartest Pirate Crew!" kicks off the minigame. You can find it over at Harbor St., northwest of where the Goromaru is decked when you visit Hawaii. When you get close to the entrance an NPC will immediately talk to you and start the quest, mentioning a pirate-related exam as well as some other traditional tests.

While the substory only requires you to take an exam once, regardless of the result, it's worth spending time with the minigame. You'll tackle the Erudite Pirate achievement, get a bunch of Pirate Rank points, a new crewmember, and one cosmetic item for the Goromaru. Below you'll find all Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii Ounabara Vocational School Quiz answers to easily ace all tests in the game.

Marvel Rivals Season 1 mid-season update is coming on February 21, bringing changes to the hero shooter, including a change to leftover battle-pass currency. The mid-season update will also add The Thing and Human Torch, along with a new map and balance update.

Shared in the Marvel Rivals Dev Vision, leftover Chrono Tokens, the battle-pass currency, will be exchanged for Units, an in-game currency used to buy cosmetics from the store, like hero skins. While the exact ratio wasn't revealed in the video, this exchange will be available to players who have purchased the premium version of the battle pass and redeemed all of the rewards in the battle pass. If you meet those two requirements by the end of the season, whatever tokens you have left will be exchanged at whatever the ratio is. It wasn't stated if the ratio will be revealed along with the patch notes for the mid-season update, or if it will be revealed towards the end of Season 1.

Chrono Tokens are earned exclusively from challenges--daily, season, or event--so players cannot earn them endlessly. However, in Season 0 there were certainly far more tokens that could be earned than needed to unlock every item in the battle pass, and the Season 1 battle pass is tracking to be similar. Marvel Rivals battle passes don't expire, so this exchange offers a reward for players who finish a battle pass within the same season it's released.
