Developer Mischief has released the first official trailer for Adios, an upcoming first-person adventure game about a pig farmer who used to dispose of bodies for the mob but decides he doesn’t want to anymore. The game is scheduled to launch for Xbox One and PC.

Adios doesn’t have a release date yet, but in a tweet, the developer says that players can expect the game will come out “very soon.”

As seen in the trailer, embedded above, the game begins with the pig farmer telling a mob hitman that he no longer wants to participate in the organization’s dirty dealings. Knowing he’ll be forced to kill his friend if he no longer works for the mob, the hitman tries to convince the farmer to keep feeding bodies to his pigs. The two of you spend the day together completing odd jobs and exploring the farm–both knowing that the hitman will kill you if he can’t convince you to stay with the mob.

It looks like a fairly interesting premise. Mischief writes on the Adios Steam page that your choices will “determine the rest of your life,” implying there may be some agency in how the narrative ultimately ends.

The minimum PC requirements for Adios are listed below.

Adios PC Requirements

• OS: Windows 8/10 (64-bit OS required)
• Processor: Intel Core i5-750 2.68Ghz / AMD II x4 945 3.0Ghz or equivalent
• Memory: 4 GB RAM
• Graphics: NVIDIA GTX 560 2GB/AMD Radeon 6870 HD 2GB or equivalent (Integrated graphics not supported)
• DirectX: Version 11
• Storage: 5 GB available space
• Sound Card: Yes.

In Apple’s September 8 court filing, the tech company is now seeking damages from Epic over breach of contract. “Although Epic portrays itself as a modern corporate Robin Hood, in reality it is a multi-billion dollar enterprise that simply wants to pay nothing for the tremendous value it derives from the App store,” the company stated in the filing.

In addition to wanting Epic’s external payment system permanently stopped and removed, Apple wants all earnings and profits generated as a result of Epic making it possible for players to bypass the App store’s payment system. Apple also claimed that it has been “injured in its business and has suffered damages, loss of goodwill and product image, and other harm.”

Apple’s filing is in response to Epic’s preliminary injunction against Apple to get Fortnite back on the App store. Epic’s Apple developer account was terminated on August 28, and prior to that, Epic’s appeal for a restraining order was partially denied. The judge ruled that Apple will not be forced to put Fortnite back in stores, but also that Apple cannot touch Epic’s Unreal Engine, which is used by many other developers.

After Apple terminated Epic’s development account, the company told GameSpot, “We are disappointed that we have had to terminate the Epic Games account on the App Store. We have worked with the team at Epic Games for many years on their launches and releases. The court recommended that Epic comply with the App Store guidelines while their case moves forward, guidelines they’ve followed for the past decade until they created this situation. Epic has refused. Instead they repeatedly submit Fortnite updates designed to violate the guidelines of the App Store. This is not fair to all other developers on the App Store and is putting customers in the middle of their fight. We hope that we can work together again in the future, but unfortunately that is not possible today.”

Both Apple and Epic are not backing down, and it’s likely that Fortnite will not be on an iOS device anytime soon. You can read GameSpot’s full explanation on what is exactly going on in Apple and Epic’s lawsuit.

Thank you all for the support and for seeing through @wbpictures desperate and scattershot attempt to discredit me to continue protecting those in power.

I met with the investigator via Zoom on Aug 26th. Below is an email I sent to my team and @sagaftra immediately after:

Bungie has rolled out a new update for Destiny 2 on PC, PlayStation 4, Stadia, and Xbox One that tweaks how Perks operate and are consumed. The full patch notes for Update 2.9.2 are detailed below.

Perks that give ability energy upon Super activation–think Apotheosis Veil, Radiant Largesse, and the like–will now initiate after Super energy is consumed. This means these perks will no longer be free, instead being consumed so players can no longer exploit the way perks used to provide additional ability energy by canceling a Super during warm-up.

Update 2.9.2 also makes a number of gameplay adjustments, including displaying the correct Power level required to complete the “Become Legend” step of the New Light quest, making Redrix’s Broadsword reclaimable from Collections, fixing issues with Trials vendor engrams, and more.

Elsewhere, the patch addresses some issues with armor and weapons. For example, Transmutation Spheres can’t be picked up by players whose Super abilities are active when the Ruinous Effigy is equipped. And the Solstice of Heroes’ glow intensity has been increased.

Full Destiny 2 Update 2.9.2 Patch Notes

Activities

Gambit

• Fixed an issue that caused players to freeze when spawning into Gambit.

Prophecy Dungeon

• Fixed an issue where enemies could stop spawning in the Hexahedron area, blocking players from progressing.

Nightfall

• Fixed an issue where enemies would stop responding to players if they carried motes from a Contact event into the Savathun’s Song or Festering Core Nightfall.

Gameplay and Investment

Investment

• Fixed an issue where players who completed Tommy’s Matchbook catalyst pursuit were re-awarded it.
• Fixed an issue where the Trials vendor engram advertised rewards at zero Power level.
  • Note: This was simply a display error; the actual Power you would receive was not affected.
• Fixed an issue where the Cold Denial ornament ADS view looked very different from the base weapon.
• Prestige Eater of Worlds and Spire of Stars ornaments can be viewed in collections.
• The “Become Legend” step of the New Light quest incorrectly asked players to reach Power level 950.
  • It now correctly asks players to reach Power level 1000.
• Redrix’s Broadsword will now be available to reclaim from Collections.
  • Note: This will be locked to the first roll rewarded when completing the Broadsword quest.
• Made improvements to Sleeper Node RNG on Mars.
  • When combining Resonate Stems, it is very unlikely that the resulting Override Frequency will unlock a node in your current area. For example, if you need to unlock a node in Heatsink, you should leave Heatsink before creating an Override Frequency.
  • Destiny 2 has an internal checklist of nodes you have unlocked. This checklist is separate from the count you see in-game, and prior to this fix, the checklist would frequently be cleared. Clearing this checklist is the reason duplicates were so common. Going forward, the checklist will never be cleared.
  • Note: If you create an Override Frequency for a node that you have opened in the past, you should open the node again instead of deleting the Override Frequency. This will allow the internal checklist to be updated, and help prevent future duplicates.
• Spider will begin offering three weekly Wanted bounties, up from one.
  • Note: These bounties will now award 10k Glimmer, down from 15k.
• Fixed an issue where the Guardian Games quest was still present in some players’ inventories.
  • Seriously, if this Quest isn’t fully removed this time, we’re going to need to talk to Zavala about how Titans are rubbing their win in everyone’s faces.
    • It’s not very nice of them to do that.
      • Please stop reminding me that Hunters lost.
• Fixed an issue where players could block quest progress by acquiring Calcified Light without the quest active.
• Reduced amount of Shader drops from Umbral Engrams.

Weapons

• Exotics
  • Ruinous Effigy:
    • Transmutation Spheres can no longer be picked up by players with active Super abilities.
  • Perks that provide ability energy on Super activation (Apotheosis Veil, Radiant Largesse) now activate after Super energy is consumed.
    • These perks used to activate during the Super’s warmup, but that allowed players to cancel their Super during warmup to gain ability energy without consuming their Super energy.
    • This change will prevent activating these perks for “free.”
  • Fixed an issue affecting the perks on Jade Rabbit and Merciless.
    • Perks that activate “on hit” weren’t triggering properly when projectiles over-penetrated their target.

Armor

• Solstice of Heroes:
  • When in first-person view, most of the Gauntlets are invisible except for the gold trim and hands.
  • Fixed a misaligned solstice glow on the Hunter Solstice leg arrangement.
  • Increased glow intensity.

General

• Fixed an issue on Steam where certain player persona names could cause Weasel errors.

Lego has revealed its second batch of fan-created ideas that it is considering for production sets, this time including designs based on Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Portal 2, and Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout.

Lego Ideas are fan-made sets that are voted on by the community. Those that reach over 10,000 supporters are then collected and submitted to Lego for review, with a handful potentially making their way to production. This time around, a staggering 35 designs made the cut–a new record for the program–with many based on both games and anime.

Below, you can see some of the designs that are in review, including Nook’s Cranny from New Horizons, a Glados scene from Portal 2, a stage from Fall Guys, Appa from Avatar: The Last Airbender, and a ramen shop scene from Naruto.

Games often make it to review in Lego Ideas, with the last batch including designs from Sonic: The Hedgehog and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Those are still being reviewed, and earlier design for the stables from Breath of the Wild was sadly rejected earlier this year. And with Lego not entirely forthcoming as to the reasons behind rejections, it’s unclear if it’s an issue with the design itself or the licenses required to produce it.

Still, it’s fun to see how games make the transition to these blocky creations, with the hope that some will perhaps find space on your shelves in the future. If you’re more into digital Lego, then Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga might be more to your fancy, even if it was recently delayed to Summer 2021.

CD Projekt Red has partnered with Rockstar Energy to ramp up promotions ahead of Cyberpunk 2077‘s November 19 release date. From October 1 until December 31, CD Projekt Red and Rockstar Energy will offer four different Cyberpunk 2077 energy drinks in North America. In addition to that, the US will receive a Samurai Cola version–the only custom flavor specifically created for Cyberpunk 2077. The other four designs and flavors are Male V (Original), Jackie (Sugar Free), Female V (Punched), and Brigitte (Silver Ice).

The cans come with other perks too. Every Cyberpunk 2077 energy drink will come with a $1 Xbox gift card, the ability to unlock the digital comic series “Where’s Johnny,” and the chance to win prizes. Players/energy drink-ers can bank up to $60 per Microsoft account. As Xbox’s blog notes, that is indeed enough to buy yourself a copy of Cyberpunk 2077, provided you’re willing to drink 60 cans worth of energy drinks.

You can visit Rockstar Energy’s site to sign up for the program and find the place to bank can codes. Additionally, if you purchase any Rockstar Energy product using the 7-Eleven Rewards app before September 30, you’ll get early access to the”Where’s Johnny” comic.

There are 15 prizes purchasers can win daily, and each can code is a single entry. Some of the prizes are merchandise and include SteelSeries Johnny Silverhand Edition Arctis 1 wireless headsets, hoodies, and hats. The big prize, however, is a Rockstar Energy x Cyberpunk 2077 car inspired by the in-game Quadra Type-66.

Ahead of Cyberpunk 2077’s release, news about the game has been flowing in a constant trickle. The game’s Chinese localization reveals how massive the Cyberpunk 2077’s file size is, driving home what has long been said about the game. CD Projekt Red president and joint CEO Adam Kicinski also stated that there will be microtransactions in the game’s multiplayer mode, but they will not be aggressive.
