Final Fantasy 14 Online is getting lots of new content for the owners of the Shadowbringers expansion. In patch 5.2, Echoes of a Fallen Star – new quests, a new raid, a new dungeon and more will be added to the game. The patch will go live on Tuesday, February 18 but fans can get a sneak peek at the content in a trailer that was released on Thursday. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/02/06/final-fantasy-xiv-patch-52-echoes-of-a-fallen-star-trailer"] There will be new Main Scenario Quests, a new Chronicles of a New Era Quest called “The Sorrow of Werlyt" and new Beast Tribe Quests meant for Disciples of the Land classes. The next Eden raid will be featured in this update with new battles across normal and savage difficulties. Titled "Eden's Verse" the raid will introduce Gaia, who was created by Final Fantasy character designer and Kingdom Hearts director, Tetsuya Nomura. A "Resistance Weapon" quest series will be introduced to feature new, powerful equipment. The new dungeon "Anamnesis Anyder" will also be added to the game along with the new trial "Cinder Drift." [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=the-most-addictive-online-games&captions=true"] The trailer briefly shows off ocean fishing, which is a new feature where players can travel on a boat to earn XP based on how many fish are caught on their voyage. The press release also said the patch will bring unspecified tweaks to, "Jobs, PvP Actions and New Game+ alongside several Crafter and Gatherer updates." Gatherer content will be featured in the Diadem as well as new high-level crafting challenges and a new ranking system. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/06/11/final-fantasy-14-online-shadowbringers-trailer-e3-2019"] Final Fantasy XIV has had a notable turnaround. The game launched in 2010 for PC with IGN's review calling out the game's "interface and performance issues" and "too little interesting structured content to chew on." Jump to nine years later and A Realm Reborn's third expansion, Shadowbringers, is tied with Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice and Disco Elysium as the second highest-rated new game of 2019 on Metacritic. IGN's review says that Shadowbringers "has only further solidified XIV's status as one of the greatest Final Fantasy games ever made." Final Fantasy XIV is also being developed into a live-action TV series from the production company behind The Witcher and the director of the game wants to bring FFXIV to PlayStation 5.

Ubisoft will release five new AAA games in 2020-2021, with three of them getting released by the end of this year and two being released in early 2021. And none of them will be Beyond Good and Evil 2. “We have evolved our organizational structure in recent months in order to strengthen our focus on high-potential titles, and we are very excited about the idea of releasing five new AAA games in 2020-21,” said Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot during the Q3 FY2020 investor call. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=all-the-big-games-coming-in-2020&captions=true"] During the Q&A portion, Guillemot followed up on that statement by confirming, at the least, that Beyond Good and Evil 2 is not one of the five planned AAA games set to be released this year. Ubisoft previously announced, then delayed a slate of AAA games including Watch Dogs Legion, Rainbow Six: Quarantine, Gods and Monsters, and there have been reports that Ubisoft is working on a new Assassin’s Creed game supposedly based on Vikings. That’s four games that could fit neatly into Ubisoft’s AAA plans for the year. And there are also projects like Skull and Bones that have been delayed indefinitely which could complete the release calendar. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/06/10/watch-dogs-legion-preview"] As for when players will see any combination of these games, Guillemot revealed that three of the five games will be released in Q3 FY2021, or the period between October to December 2020, and the other two games releasing between January and March 2021. For more check out IGN’s demo impressions of Watch Dogs Legions from E3 and Gamescom. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Matt Kim is a reporter for IGN. You can reach him on Twitter.

Mojang's most recent update for Minecraft is a big one, adding in three new Nether biomes — the Crimson Forest, Soulsand Valley, and the Warped Forest. Each of these new Minecraft Nether biomes contain a new material called Netherite, which is refined from Ancient Debris. Players can use Netherite to upgrade their diamond gear to make it more powerful and last longer, among other things. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=igns-top-25-modern-pc-games&captions=true"]

How Do You Make Netherite?

Players can make Netherite by mining Ancient Debris from the Nether and refining it into Netherite Scrap with a furnace. From there, simply combine four Nether Scrap and four Gold Ingots and you'll have your very own Netherite Ingot. With three new biomes added to Minecraft, you'll likely want to know a little bit about each location before you visit, as each one is slightly different.

The Three New Biomes

For example, those who visit the Crimson Forest will find a wooded location with "all kinds of strange new vegetation," along with Shroomlights which will provide natural light in the forest. A new creature known as Crimson Spores will also "swirl through the air" as you make your way through the area. On the other hand, Soulsand Valley is an open biome made up of Soul Sand and Soul Soil. Players who visit will find Skeletons roaming the area and unknown fossil remains scattered throughout the soil. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2014/02/13/minecraft-pocket-edition-review"] The final new Minecraft Nether biome is another wooded area known as the Warped Forest. This biome is very similar to the Crimson Forest, but is the least hostile of the three areas.

Murder by Numbers, Mediatonic's mashup of Ace Attorney and Picross, will be released on March 5 for Switch and March 6 for Steam. You can check out an extremely '90s intro right now. The game is centred around a '90s detective show actress, Honor, who meets a robot sidekick and gets embroiled in a real murder mystery. It takes the visual novel structure and style of Ace Attorney, but progression is made through solving Picross puzzles. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/10/09/murder-by-numbers-announcement-trailer"] It might not be an official Ace Attorney game, but Mediatonic's homage comes with some serious pedigree in the form of composer Masakazu Sugimori, who scored the classic Phoenix Wright games. Character designs have also been handled by Hatoful Boyfriend's Hato Moa. You can watch the game's animated intro, complete with incredibly catchy theme tune, in the video below: [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/02/06/murder-by-numbers-theme-tune-and-intro"] The game will cost $14.99 USD / £11.99 (no Australian prices are available at time of writing). It will be available to pre-order on Switch from February 20, with a 10% discount, and will be discounted by 10% on both release platforms for the week after release. IGN will have exclusive gameplay and hands-on impressions available tomorrow, February 7. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Joe Skrebels is IGN's Executive Editor of News, and is weirdly nostalgic for the digital typewriter noise in Ace Attorney. Follow him on Twitter.
