Just when you thought the Five Nights at Freddy’s horror series had reached its end, here comes a new installment that’ll be out soon. Revealed during Sony’s inaugural State of Play livestream, the Five Nights franchise will be making its debut on PS4 with Five Nights At Freddy’s VR: Help Wanted, along with releases on Steam and the Oculus Store. In addition to being the series’ debut on a console, it’s also the first time the series will be playable in VR, which adds a whole new spin on the standard hide-and-seek gameplay that made it such a hit.
Developed by Steel Wool Games, Help Wanted remasters several past levels from the previous Five Nights games for the VR format. Playable with both the PlayStation move controllers and the standard DualShock, you’ll be able to solve puzzles and evade the murderous animatronics–all within VR. Though the game is structurally the same and uses a lot of classic levels and returning monsters, it overhauls many encounters with the band of nightmarish animatronics from Freddy FazzBear’s Pizzeria.
The VR game will also include a whole suite of collectibles to find hidden in each stage. These items include plush dolls, bobbleheads, and other knick-knacks referencing the main baddies in the series. Set for release this April, Five Nights at Freddy’s VR: Help Wanted seems like it’ll be an interesting change of pace for the series that can use the new format to great effect.

Death comes quickly in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, so one of the most helpful tools you have at your disposal is the Healing Gourd–a refillable healing item. At the start, you’ll only have one use per refill. However, by finding Gourd Seeds, you can increase that number.
In total, there are nine Gourd Seeds scattered throughout Sekiro’s Ashina, allowing you to increase your Healing Gourd uses to 10. Once you’ve found a Seed, you must give it to Emma in the Dilapidated Temple in order to increase how many times you can use the Gourd.
Although it isn’t necessary to do, upgrading your Healing Gourd is very helpful for surviving both the hardest of Sekiro’s bosses and the ever-growing divide between Idols in the late-game areas. So even if you don’t find all nine, you should at least go for a few. In the following guide, we list the location of every Gourd Seed and include images of their locations for all but one. The final Seed, the ninth, doesn’t have an accompanying image, as we feel its location gets a little too close to spoiler territory.
Only the first two Gourd Seeds are located in Sekiro’s starting area. So just know that Gourd Seed number three and beyond go into light spoiler territory. We’ve kept it as spoiler-free as we can, but we do have to list the names of some of Sekiro’s mid to late game locations, as well as those of certain enemies and bosses, in order to provide accurate directions. The following guide lists all nine Gourd Seeds in the order they can be found/earned. However, the order does not need to be followed.
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is available for Xbox One, PS4, and PC. For additional help with the game, check out the rest of our Sekiro’s guides.
Sony’s State of Play livestream concluded with something new for those looking forward to Mortal Kombat 11. A new trailer for NetherRealm Studio’s upcoming fighting game revealed some new story elements, like young Johnny Cage of the past rustling the old Johnny Cage of the present. It leaned heavily into the time travel elements that had been teased in previous trailers and announcements and showed off more of its goofy moments. And at the end of Sony’s presentation, it was announced that three new (well, returning) characters will be part of Mortal Kombat 11’s roster: Jax, Liu Kang, and Kung Lao.
Liu Kang and Kung Lao were seen in previous story reveals, but have been confirmed as playable characters in the base roster. Unfortunately, we didn’t get much in terms of what they’ll look like in combat though we did get a glimpse of Jackson “Jax” Briggs in action. In the new trailer, Jacqui Briggs is perplexed at the sight of seeing her dad…twice. Shortly afterward you can see a bit of Jax fighting himself in game.

The trailer titled Old Skool Vs. New Skool is a perfect showcase of what series creator Ed Boon has been talking about in terms of characters fighting against or teaming up with their past selves in an all-out wacky plotline. It’s also fitting that the trailer featured music from both rappers Ice Cube and Vince Staples. You can check it out in the video above.
The battle royale trend isn’t slowing down anytime soon, and Battlefield is the latest series to get in on the action–Battlefield V‘s battle royale mode, Firestorm, went live today for all players on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Firestorm is a free add-on for Battlefield V; you must own the base game in order to play.
Luckily, you can grab the base game for up to 50% today: the standard edition is selling for $30, and the deluxe edition is only $40. The deluxe edition includes five sets of paratrooper outfits, special assignments, and 20 weekly Airlifts with customization items. The deluxe edition for PC also includes the Firestorm ranger set, paratrooper gear, and instant access to Battlefield 1 weapons.
Like other battle royale games, Firestorm begins with players dropping from the sky onto a map called Halvøy, which is 10 times larger than Battlefield V’s largest map, Hamada. The 64-player matches can be played solo or in squads up to four players. A ring of fire slowly shrinks around the battlefield, forcing you and other players to move inward. Once you hit the ground, you’ll be searching for resources, weapons, and gear, with the most valuable stockpiles held at Re-supply Points and Vehicle Lockups. Vehicular combat plays a much bigger role in Firestorm than other existing battle royale titles–as of now, there are 17 different vehicles to control, such as choppers and tanks; however, they’re susceptible to anti-vehicle weaponry.

Want us to remember this setting for all your devices?
Among Firestorm’s rarest loot are Reinforcements, which you can use to spread destruction with artillery strikes or combat vehicles, or to call in supply drops for you and your squad. Just like any Battlefield game, buildings can be destroyed, so nowhere is truly safe to camp out and hide.
Battlefield V has been out since November, so players have been waiting over five months for the release of Firestorm. In that time, Apex Legends has swept onto the battle royale scene with rapidly growing player counts, and Fortnite continues to thrive, so it remains to be seen whether Firestorm can capitalize on the popular genre and build its own loyal player base.
From the ornate architecture of Anor Londo to the gaslit streets of central Yharnam, FromSoftware has a knack for creating truly unforgettable environments. And this tradition continues in their latest action-adventure game, Sekiro, with its Sengoku-era style setting of temples and decrepit castles. But what’s so special about these environments isn’t just their innate spectacle or their overwhelming atmosphere, but how these areas tend to double as spatial awareness puzzles to test the player.
During PlayStation’s State of Play, it was revealed that Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled will also feature remastered content from Crash Team Racing’s sequel, Crash Nitro Kart.
Crash Nitro Kart, which was released in 2003 on PlayStation 2, GameCube, Xbox and Game Boy Advance, featured 13 tracks which will all be remastered for Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled, as well as the title’s karts, battle arenas and battle modes.
In our review of Crash Nitro Kart back in 2003, we said that while there is a lot to enjoy, it feels very similar to Crash Team Racing and doesn’t do a lot to evolve the formula set by those that came before it.
Microsoft has been courting indies for years through its ID@Xbox program, but now the company is giving independent games their very own showcase. The newly titled ID@Xbox Game Pass stream will premiere on March 26 and showcase a variety of indies coming to Xbox One.
Though a full line-up hasn’t been announced, Microsoft did mention a few by name including Afterparty, Void Bastards, and Supermarket Shriek. Plus, given the name, it seems likely this will emphasize the indies that are included as part of the company’s Game Pass subscription service. That service offers all-you-can-eat from a curated selection of games for $10 per month.
This show will follow a spate of publisher showcases, including the spring Nindies showcase that featured a collaboration with Microsoft to bring Cuphead to the Nintendo Switch. Similarly, Sony announced its own State of Play stream, airing March 25. Between the regular Nintendo Direct presentations, Microsoft’s Inside Xbox and new ID@Xbox Game Pass streams, and Sony’s new State of Play streams, all three major platform holders are now hosting their own streaming programs.
Check below for a schedule of times, and come back here at show time to watch it all go down.
