We are talking of course...

Sep 19, 2024, 2:00 PM Fyra Frost News

The sequel to Frostpunk lines up for a big launch aiming to become one of the best strategy games of 2024.

There were some doubts when the original Frostpunk was released. The game's mature and crude approach to survival under extreme conditions along with its rather high difficulty were things that may not have sat well with many players. However, the effect was totally the opposite. Not only did the game have a very positive reception, but it soon became a favourite among the fans of the strategy genre. With many copies sold and several DLCs that...

EA will leave behind the features that didn't work in Battlefield 2042 and opt for a more classic approach.

While Activision has been adventuring the boons and goods of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 ahead of the upcoming release, Electronic Arts has remained silent about the Battlefield series. Battlefield 2042 is still in action although its final season kicked off earlier this year. However, it seems like EA wants the next title in the FPS series to be different or at least not like its predecessor. In a recent interview with IGN, Respawn co-founder...

Blizzard boasts impressive earnings with Diablo IV microtransactions

Sep 16, 2024, 4:00 PM Fyra Frost News

Despite the criticism about many aspects of the game, Blizzard is racking up a lot of cash from Diablo 4 players.

There is nothing new in video game developers and publishers earning a lot of money by selling digital items and services via an in-game shop. The microtransaction model is widely extended and it has proven to be more profitable and compatible with other types of monetization options, like, for example, subscription services on classic MMORPGs. However, some big numbers can still raise some eyebrows, especially when talking about important franchises like Diablo. The latest installment in the popular ARPG series from...

More players than ever decided to give the upcoming Call of Duty shooter a try and the veredict was quite positive.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has not been exempt from controversy ahead of its launch. Activision's decision of not to grant those who pre-order the game early access to the campaign has been frowned upon by many players who are eager to play the game. However, it does not seem to be such a bad idea from the point of view of those not pre-ordering as they avoid possible spoilers. It's not that the future...

The incredibly popular factory building game from the creators of Goat Simulator abandos Early Access.

Star Wars Outlaws is one of those games that you either love or hate. Ubisoft's first attempt at tackling the huge universe of the popular sci-fi saga generated very high expectations ahead of its release. However, the experience it provides to the players varies depending on many factors.

There is no early access for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6

Sep 10, 2024, 9:00 PM Fyra Frost News

Forget about playing the game ahead of release other than in the beta events organized by Activision.

Early access is a hot theme this summer with many games allowing players to play a few days ahead of the release date just by buying a more expensive edition. When it comes to Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, everyone assumed that Activision was going to do as they did with Modern Warfare 3, offering players who pre-ordered the game access to the campaign several days ahead of the game's release date. However, recent information...

A huge number of players bought the game's special editions to have access to Space Marine 2 a few days earlier.

Allowing players to play a game ahead of its official release date seems to be the latest trend, and Focus Entertainment wasn't going to miss such an opportunity to earn a good profit with Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2.

Astro Bot is a very strong candidate for the GOTY

Sep 6, 2024, 3:28 PM Fyra Frost News

We haven't seen a platformer as good and engaging as Astro Bot for quite a long while.

Watching a platformer get the coveted Game of the Year award is something that has happened before, but it's a genre that somehow tends to get shadowed by others. Last year, the undisputed winner was Baldur's Gate 3, which won awards in many categories for obvious reasons. However, it may be quite different this year with Astro Bot, a platformer adventure that caught everyone by surprise when it was announced last May during the State of...

Sep 5, 2024, 6:00 PM Fyra Frost News

This new Souls-like adventure with an Italian heart won't be available on Xbox consoles for the time being.

Miscommunication can sometimes be enough to thwart the release of a highly-anticipated game on specific platforms. This seems to be the case for Enotria: The Last Song, whose release on Xbox consoles has been postponed indefinitely. The release of the game is scheduled for September 19 on PlayStation 5 but the lack of a release date on Xbox Series followed by the official announcement of the postponement generated plenty of speculation about a possible exclusivity deal between Jyamma Games and...
