Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 Delayed By Months
Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 has been delayed from its original Q1 2020 launch window. It will now release sometime later in the year.
Announced by developer Hardsuit Labs’ CEO Andy Kipling and Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodlines 1 and 2 scribe Brian Mitsoda, the delay was detailed in a blog post on the Vampire website. “Today, we have to tell you that we need some more time to get you the game you’ve been waiting for,” the post says. “Although Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 will still launch in 2020, we have decided to value quality over making the Q1 launch window.”
The post notes that the extra time will ensure that the game lives up to the legacy of the original Bloodlines game. That includes branching storylines and both character and world building. There’s also a nod to the original’s games infamous buggy state - “there’s the responsibility to avoid some of the issues that plagued the first game, which was famously launched too early,” explains the post.
Elton John Says Disney’s Lion King Remake Was a ‘Huge Disappointment’
Sir Elton John has offered his opinion on Disney's remake of The Lion King, three months after the photorealistic musical stampeded into theaters to take its throne at the the top of box office, surpassing Frozen as the highest-grossing animated film of all time.
Elton, who composed and performed several songs on the original soundtrack for the 1994 animated classic, recently shared his critique of the musical numbers in the 2019 iteration of the film, admitting that he was less than impressed with the finished product.
The Outer Worlds Will Be Enhanced on Xbox One X But Not PS4 Pro
The Outer Worlds, Obsidian's upcoming sci-fi RPG, will only feature 4K enhancements on the Xbox One X. The PS4 Pro version of the game won't get any extra licks of paint.
Given that most games available on both Sony and Microsoft's beefed-up consoles get some sort of enhancement, this is a surprising move. The PS4 Pro will be capped at 1080p resolution, while the Xbox One X will be able to play Outer Worlds in 4K.
Publisher Private Division confirmed the news in a short statement to Windows Central, saying there'd be "no enhancements for PS4 Pro." No official reasoning has been given for the imbalance, but it may be worth noting that Obsidian is now a Microsoft-owned company following an acquisition last year.

Legends of Runeterra: 40 Things You Need to Know About Riot’s New Game
Legends of Runeterra is a brand new digital card game from Riot Games. It was just announced as part of Riot’s ten year anniversary stream (along with a number of other hugely exciting projects), and will give players a whole new look at the world of League of Legends, bringing many of its iconic champions to life in a whole new way. It’s hugely exciting, in other words, and there’s an awful lot to dig into. (You can even pre-register now!)
My Legends of Runeterra overview and hands-on impressions are here, but that only covers some of what I learnt about the game. Here are 40 things you need to know about Legends of Runeterra:
League of Legends: Wild Rift Brings the MOBA to Mobile and Consoles
League of Legends is finally coming to mobile as League of Legends: Wild Rift. Riot Games is adamant, however, that League of Legends: Wild Rift is not simply a port of the PC MOBA. Check out the trailer for Wild Rift in the video above.
Like the PC version, LoL: Wild Rift is a 5v5 MOBA, but it’s been adapted for mobile and console play. Unlike the click-to-move controls, Wild Rift features a new twin-stick mechanic. Similarly, Wild Rift is being designed specifically for 15 to 18-minute games.
Riot didn’t reveal the full extent of the overhauls, but there appear to be significant enough changes between the PC and mobile/console version of League of Legends for Riot games to warrant the new subhead.
