Despite originally releasing in 2002, Final Fantasy XI is still being supported by developer Square Enix. Producer Akihiko Matsui announced on the game’s official forum that August’s update will see the first new story content in the game in nearly five years. The new storyline, called “The Voracious Resurgence,” will take place over “many version updates,” so don’t expect to finish it soon. Square Enix says that the story will revolve revolve around the appearance of small eggs of unknown origin and it’s up to adventurers to figure out “a conspiracy that threatens the very fabric of the world.”

Due to the success of Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, updates for Square Enix’s prior MMORPG have been sparse. In 2015, the game received a scenario called “Rhapsodies of Vana’diel,” which was meant to be the final storyline. Players will have to complete “Rhapsodies of Vana’diel” in order to access the new content, which Matsui claims “explores a side of Vana’diel that’s never before seen the light.”

The new storyline isn’t all that the August update will have to offer as the beastmaster job will be receiving an adjustment as well. Changes to the job type’s magic accuracy have been made to encourage beastmasters to battle alongside their pets. There are also unspecified additional pets arriving in August that include “very specific strengths and weaknesses.”

Rounding out the update are two new ambuscade battles. The normal-difficulty fight will pit adventurers against a Rafflesia that relies on mandragora allies for power. Meanwhile, the intense ambuscade is against a magic-using Mamool Ja. Players can earn themed rewards for the new battle, which will go away in September.

While Final Fantasy XI launched on PlayStation 2 and eventually came to Xbox 360, it is only playable on PC as of 2016. A mobile version of the MMORPG developed by Nexon was announced in 2015, although its development status is currently uncertain. The worlds of both Final Fantasy MMOs recently collided in FFXIV’s “The Maiden’s Rhapsody: Memories of an Unseen Realm” event.

Spellbreak will support cross-progression across PC, Xbox One, PS4 and Nintendo Switch when it launches.

Developer Proletariat will allow players to create a Spellbreak account that can be attached to the game on any platform, which brings along progression, customisation and stats wherever you choose to play. It will also players to create cross-platform squads and find friends across all versions of the game.

Check out a trailer for the announcement below:

The free-to-play, magic-focused battle royale already has already promised cross-play across all platforms. The game has already seen betas on PC (vis Epic Games Store) and PS4, with Switch and Xbox One launches coming later this year.

Proletariat has described the move as “vitally important” to the future of Spellbreak, giving players as much choice as possible from Day One of the game’s full release. The developer adds that it believes this will become an industry standard in time.

We spoke to Proletariat as part of IGN’s Summer of Gaming, and got the lowdown on how Spellbreak weaves RPG ideas into the battle royale template.

Developer Blizzard Entertainment has announced Overwatch‘s Summer Games event starts tomorrow, August 4, on Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, and Xbox One. The event runs until August 26.

While Blizzard has yet to outline what else is in the new event series, it does feature a brand-new skin for DPS hero Pharah. It’s her Legendary Lifeguard skin, which suggests that some sort of fun-in-the-sun event–where characters are dressed to hit the beach–will take place over the next few weeks.

Pharah isn’t the only hero to have gotten a new skin in recent weeks. Tank hero Sigma received a Legendary skin last month for those who secured enough wins during his Maestro Challenge event.

In other Overwatch news, a few heroes have seen some adjustments recently. Popular hitscan character McCree had his noose spray replaced by a “bad luck”-emblazoned horseshoe, while a recent patch is testing out some changes for Support hero Moira.

Last month, Fanatical hosted its July Madness Sale, discounting a ridiculous number of games over several weeks. While it would be easy to assume that was Fanatical’s big summer promotion, that’s not the case. Fanatical has kicked off its official Summer Sale with another round of massive savings on Steam games. Thousands of games are up for grabs for discounted prices until August 16, including Death Stranding ($48), Resident Evil 2 ($18), Monster Hunter World ($18), and more. Like usual, Fanatical also has flash deals that expire in just a few hours, so you’ll want to hurry to get some of the best discounts.

Fanatical is also throwing in a bonus game if you spend $10 or more. You don’t get to see the bonus game until you finish checking out, but you will get to pick from a number of titles. Most games in Fanatical’s Summer Sale are Steam keys, except for titles from publishers with their own launchers such as Ubisoft and Rockstar and the occasional Epic Games Store key.

Best deals at Fanatical

*bold indicates flash deal

Fanatical’s Summer Sale includes some stellar deals on AAA games from the past few years. You can grab A Plague Tale: Innocence for $15.29, Resident Evil 2 for $18, and Assassin’s Creed Odyssey’s Deluxe edition for $24. While not technically part of the sale, it doesn’t hurt to mention that pre-orders for NBA 2K21 and Yakuza: Like A Dragon are discounted through Fanatical. You can get NBA 2K21 for $54 and Yakuza: Like A Dragon for $49.79.

There are also some fantastic flash deals right now, but they end today, August 3 at 4 PM PT / 7 PM ET. Red Dead Redemption 2 is down to $46.19, The Outer Worlds is discounted to $46.19, and BioShock: The Collection is only $13.79.

Additionally, Fanatical has a Summer Mystery Bundle up for grabs for the next two weeks that lets you purchase anywhere from one to 10 random Steam keys. It’s cheap, too, with 10 keys costing just $7.

The Alienware Area 51m is one of the best “desktop replacement” gaming laptops that money can buy. Normally such luxury would be reserved for only the deepest of pockets, but not today. Last week we saw one Alienware Area 51m config drop nearly $1400. Today there are several more heavily discounted options to choose from. Dell’s Black Friday in July Sale has already ended so these last minute deals will expire very soon. In other deal news, there’s a 10% off Green Man Gaming coupon that works on nearly all PC games, including Red Dead Redemption 2, The Outer Worlds, and even the upcoming Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition PC variant.

Another week means a new crop of deals at every retailer, and Best Buy’s deals have been better than most recently. This week’s game deals are no different, featuring a nice group of games for Nintendo Switch, PS4, and Xbox One at lower-than-usual prices.

Notably, at least one game is at its lowest price yet: Burnout Paradise Remastered, which just launched on the Switch in June. As with many Switch ports, it was priced considerably higher than what you’d pay for the game on other platforms, selling for $50 on Switch compared to $20 on PS4 and Xbox One. This week, however, you can snag Burnout Paradise Remastered on Switch for $30–still higher than other platforms, but a $20 discount on a new Switch port isn’t anything to sneeze at. If you’re in the mood to play a fantastic racing game, Burnout Paradise Remastered is worth grabbing on sale.

Of course, Best Buy has many other games on sale this week to help you pass the time during this never-ending pandemic. PS4 players have some particularly great picks, including the critically acclaimed open-world adventure Red Dead Redemption 2 for $30 and the definitive edition of a JRPG hit, Persona 5 Royal, for $40. The Xbox One offerings are less notable, but you can pick up the excellent survival horror game The Evil Within 2 for just $11 on Xbox One. The brand-new 3×3 shooter Rocket Arena has already received a steep discount as well, with its $40 Mythic edition now going for $10.

Quite a few Switch games are discounted this week at Best Buy too, including the rarely discounted Astral Chain for $50, Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age for $28, and Daemon x Machina for $40. Games like Super Mario Odyssey and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild are also down to $50, a price that’s becoming more common for first-party titles but is still cheaper than what you’ll find on the Eshop.
