The dark fantasy action-platformer Blasphemous is getting a story-concluding update later this year, leading to a full sequel slated for sometime in 2023.

The Game Kitchen announced at Gamescom that it will release Wounds of Eventide later this year in December. This free DLC will unlock the true ending for Blasphemous, originally released in 2019.

But with the first Blasphemous set to conclude, the developers have begun work on a sequel. This direct follow-up to Blasphemous will carry the series when it is released sometime in 2023. You can check out the DLC trailer and sequel teaser below.

“We’re so excited to finally announce that we’ve started on a Blasphemous sequel, the community have shown so much love for the first game and we can’t wait to share more when we can!” says Game Kitchen in a statement.

But if the wait is long, fans can at least enjoy the upcoming Wounds of Eventide DLC which is described as the final installment and definitive end to the first Blasphemous.

Blasphemous is a 2D side-scroller that mixes intense action with light Metroidvania elements. IGN’s Blasphemous review praised the base combat mechanics and gorgeous world-design and pixel art but was sometimes bogged down by its ambition.

The original Dying Light is coming to Nintendo Switch in its most complete form, packaged as Dying Light: Platinum Edition.

Announced during a Gamescom 2021 edition of the Dying 2 Know broadcast series, developer Techland said Dying Light: Platinum Edition contains over 100 hours of gameplay for a single playthrough. More details will be announced soon, but we also saw that the Platinum Edition also comes with a survival guide booklet, maps, stickers and collector's box.

Leaks of the Platinum Edition said it would contain all four DLC expansions, 17 skin bundles, and include Switch features like gyro aiming, motion controls, touchscreen support, and local co-op. No mention has been made as to whether the upcoming Dying Light 2 will also come to Switch.

When it first arrived in 2015, we awarded Dying Light an 8.5/10 review, saying "high-speed parkour and gruesome zombie massacres make Dying Light a blast, even if the story's just okay." The game has built a major following since, with Techland saying that as of June this year, 2 million people were still playing the game.

Razer is currently working on addressing a bug found in its software, allowing users to seamlessly access any Windows 10 device by plugging in a keyboard or mouse made by the gaming peripheral company.

As spotted first by BleepingComputer, a security researcher who goes by the username @j0nh4t on Twitter discovered the exploit that is available on peripherals made by Razer. The user reached out to Razer to disclose the issue. When the company did not respond, @j0nh4t decided to flag the issue on Twitter, sharing a video and instructions on the security issue.

"We were made aware of a situation in which our software, in a very specific use case, provides a user with broader access to their machine during the installation process," a Razer representative told IGN in an email. "We have investigated the issue, are currently making changes to the installation application to limit this use case, and will release an updated version shortly. The use of our software (including the installation application) does not provide unauthorized third-party access to the machine."

Need local admin and have physical access?
- Plug a Razer mouse (or the dongle)
- Windows Update will download and execute RazerInstaller as SYSTEM
- Abuse elevated Explorer to open Powershell with Shift+Right click

Tried contacting @Razer, but no answers. So here's a freebie pic.twitter.com/xDkl87RCmz

When plugging in a Razer keyboard or mouse (wired or wireless) into the computer, it automatically downloads and installs Synapse, Razer's gaming software that allows you to control and customize some features on some of its products as RGB lighting effects or setting up hot-keys.

When the software installs on the device, the Windows' setup wizard asks you where to save the app's folder on the device, which can allow you to open a PowerShell window which then offers system privileges, and launching the PowerShell window allows you to turn yourself into an admin on the device.

Obtaining administrative rights on a Windows device is a major security issue. Anyone with the admin privilege can do a number of things, such as changing the security settings on your computer or accessing any files stored on the device.

Microsoft has announced that the Games with Gold for September 2021 include Warhammer: Chaosbane, Mulaka, Zone of the Enders HD Collection, and Samurai Shodown II.

As detailed on Xbox Wire, all Xbox Live Gold members and those with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate will be able to play these games as soon as they are available, beginning with Warhammer: Chaosbane and Zone of the Enders HD Collection on September 1.

Warhammer: Chaosbane will be available on Games with Gold from September 1-30 and is an action-RPG with four classes to choose from and a mission to save a "world ravaged by war and dominated by magic." It is the first hack-and-slash game in the Warhammer universe and supports co-op locally and online.

In our Warhammer: Chaosbane review, we said that it "can stand proudly alongside some of the best games that have used the foreboding, Gothic Old World as a setting."

Zone of the Enders HD Collection is an Xbox 360 backward compatibility title and includes both Zone of the Enders and Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner. For those unaware, Hideo Kojima was a producer on both games. It will be part of Games with Gold from September 1-15.

In our Zone of the Enders HD Collection review, we said that "these aerial brawlers cleaned up nicely ten years later. Both Zone of the Enders titles do interesting things, but The 2nd Runner is a forgotten classic that holds up unquestionably better than the first game in the series."

Mulaka will be available from September 16 - October 15 and is an action-adventure game that is based on the indigenous culture of the Tarahumara people of Mexico. Players will become a local shaman named Sukurúame and will need to use the power of the demigods while solving puzzles defeating foes in a land "inspired by real Sierra locations."

Samurai Shodown II is another Xbox 360 backward compatibility title that will join Games with Gold from September 16-30 and follows the release of 2019's Samurai Shodown. This game allows you to utilize the Rage System and Weapon Breaking Attack features to battle 15 playable fighters in weapon-based combat.

In our Samurai Shodown II review, we said, "I wouldn't go so far as to say that this sequel is far and away superior to the original, as I find nostalgia to be much more of a positive factor for Samurai Shodown I than it is for this less well-known follow-up. But loyal fans of the franchise will often point to Samurai Shodown II as the best in the series, citing flaws and mistakes introduced in later sequels."

While you wait for these games to arrive, don't forget that Darksiders 3, Yooka-Laylee, and Garou: Mark of the Wolves are still available as part of August 2021's Games with Gold.

As listed on Halo Infinite's Steam page, the minimum and recommended system specs are:

Minimum:

• Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system
• OS: Windows 10 RS3 x64
• Processor: AMD FX-8370 or Intel i5-4440
• Memory: 8 GB RAM
• Graphics: AMD RX 570 or Nvidia GTX 1050 Ti
• DirectX: Version 12
• Storage: 50 GB available space

Recommended:

• Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system

• Memory: 16 GB RAM

Additionally, the Steam page also states that Halo Infinite on PC will support "advanced graphics settings", ultrawide and super ultrawide resolution support, and triple-key binds for features such as dynamic scaling and variable framerates. "Halo Infinite is the best Halo experience on PC to date," the page states.

These specifications are largely similar to those required for the Halo Infinite multiplayer technical preview held a few weeks ago, so if you were able to play that then you should be good to go.

Halo Infinite releases on Xbox and PC this December. The news was announced at Gamescom 2021, alongside the reveal of a new limited edition Halo Xbox console. While Halo Infinite may launch this year, it will not have campaign co-op or the Forge until next year.
