The Elder Scrolls: Blades Switch Release Delayed, And Chest Timers Are Being Removed

The Elder Scrolls: Blades, which was announced for Switch during E3 2019, will not come to Nintendo's console in 2019. Bethesda has announced that we'll have to wait until early 2020 to start exploring Blades with Joy-Con in hand, but there's good news too--a bevy of improvements have been made to the mobile version, and they'll eventually make it into the Switch release too.

The big change is that chest timers are being removed in the upcoming update 1.5, which is due in early December. Once the update goes live, your chests will open right away rather than hitting you with a timer. This was a major complaint people had with the game, so it's good to see it being removed. Loot drops are also being increased, meaning that enemies will grant you greater rewards when you kill them. There will be more loot-stuffed breakable objects too, so expect to do a lot of swiping at the screen.

PVP is also coming to the game, and will be available in the eventual Switch version. Any player above level 5 will be able to battle other players one-on-one, letting you win more loot and move up the leaderboards. Guilds will also be added in 1.5, and you'll be able to visit your friend's towns and purchase items from their merchants. All of these features will be cross-platform, so Switch players will be able to join mobile player's guilds.

The Elder Scrolls: Blades released for mobile devices in April this year. Bethesda is currently looking to ramp up their mobile game production.

MediEvil Review - Bones 'n Brawn

As a remaster of the 1998 puzzle-platformer of the same name, MediEvil holds up reasonably well. Its cartoonishly charming characters and varied, if relatively simplistic, level design both stands the test of time and looks better than ever thanks to a complete graphical overhaul. But as much as MediEvil can feel like a warm blanket of nostalgia--especially for those of us who played the game 21 years ago--it also feels incredibly dated, with jittery controls and camera issues that regularly get in the way of progress. You play as Sir Daniel Fortesque, a dead knight who is returned to life when the sorcerer Zarok makes an unexpected return to Gallowmere, bringing with him hordes of monsters. Fortesque remains every bit as charming a character as he was; his gnarled teeth, warbly voice, and single, rolling eyeball lose none of their charisma in the remastering process. Zarok's design hasn't aged well, though, and the new visuals leave him looking like a plastic doll who’s been

After Pitching Dragon Age Musical DLC, David Gaider Is Finally Getting To Make His Musical Game

Dragon Age lead franchise writer David Gaider is making a new and intriguing-looking musical adventure game Chorus . As it turns out, the veteran game developer--who left BioWare years ago--has been thinking about making a musical game for a long time. In an appearance at the GameSpot Theatre today at PAX Aus about his new game and studio, Gaider said he in fact pitched musical DLC for Dragon Age during his time at BioWare. The musical Dragon Age DLC could have taken place inside the metaphysical Dragon Age realm called The Fade, he said. It was a semi-serious, semi-joking pitch, Gaider said, but whatever the case, it never happened. Gaider is now getting to realize that dream. His new game, Chorus, is a musical adventure game where they big story beats play out through song. Gaider is working on Chorus with Summerfall managing director Liam Esler (former Obsidian, Beamdog developer), while prolific voice actress Laura Bailey (Uncharted, Gears of War) is voicing the main character.
