Sales of the game rose 94 percent week-on-week, largely thanks to a new PS5 bundle that includes the game with the console. Fresh console stock also means other PS5 games have leapt into the charts: Gran Turismo 7 is back up to tenth place with a 38 percent sales rise, while Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart re-enters at 15 with a 275 percent sales rise (thanks GamesIndustry.biz). Nintendo Switch Sports drops to second place in the charts after three weeks at the top of the chart - its physical sales dropped 37 percent....

Wurmple was released back in December 2017 when Hoenn region Pokémon first debuted in Pokémon Go. As well as for completing your Gen 3 Pokédex, it can also be useful to know how Wurmple evolutions work for the likes of the Bug Out! event in August 2022. Problem is, Wurmple actually has two evolutions. Here’s how to evolve Wurmple into either Cascoon or Silcoon in Pokémon Go. How to evolve Wurmple into Cascoon and Silcoon in Pokémon Go In Pokémon Go, evolving Wurmple is a random process, meaning you don’t know whether you’ll get Silcoon or Cascoon....

It has seen a renewed interest with the arrival of the Go Fest 2022 Finale Day, with the Willow’s Return special research’s second step asking players to use one.

It’s a systems-heavy game, but as I’ve been playing the last few days I’ve been trying to look through that layer to get at the things I suspect the game truly seems to want me to see. In Exocolonist, you take your child from the age of ten up until they’re twenty. That’s it. But that’s also quite a lot, because I’m not sure there’s a decade more packed with foundational events than the years between your tenth birthday and your twentieth....

Chris: After a decade of mishearing people in the office, I’ve been wearing a hearing aid for most of the last year or so. It’s been absolutely incredible. I have mild hearing loss, mostly high frequency sounds, which is why I have had trouble with human speech - I can’t hear the consonants anymore. When I first put my hearing aid on at the hospital and then walked outside, I don’t think I’d ever heard so much birdsong in my life - all the birds in the world came back to me....

But the mission doesn’t end there. Once the enemy fighters are down (or up - it is space after all), you disembark your Jackal for a Zero-G assault on the Destroyer itself, floating along its hull before blasting a hole in the bridge and clearing out the remaining crew from the inside. All this is delivered in one seamless sequence, from leaving the vehicle bay of the capital ship Retribution to blowing the final SDF soldiers out of the Destroyer’s airlock....

Croteam dropped a cryptic tease over the weekend, but at just 34 seconds long and the description “man, it’s cold”, we don’t have a lot to go on right now. Take a peek below: The trailer shows Sam Stone zipping across an ice-encrusted ocean on a small (and not very warm given the driver is in a t-shirt) boat, bouncing off a steel buoy. “Man, it’s cold,” a familiar voice says, “but nothing warms me up like kicking ass....

Sega has revealed a collaboration with Hololive VTuber Inugami Korone, which changes Sonic’s glove and shoe designs as well as the appearance of the in-game mascot Coco. The DLC was posted on reddit, though it’s unclear if this will also feature elsewhere. Watch on YouTube Sonic Frontiers - Story Trailer For the unaware, Inugami Korone is a virtual anime YouTuber and is part of the Hololive Gamers group, with millions of followers across social media....

And wow, Jett: The Far Shore doesn’t half get that. After a good few hours with it, what I know of Jett is that it’s a game very much about the bigness of space, the bigness of travelling through it and across it, the momentousness of both location and occasion. (In fact, it is so frequent in reminding you how overtly about space’s bigness it is, that I am almost considering changing my mind, and thinking maybe it would be better if we just did the whole “space looks cool” thing and moved on - but I’ll come back to that....

The acclaimed co-op puzzler about a pair of divorcing parents was struck by a trademark claim before its release earlier this year, it has emerged. Records show developer Hazelight subsequently abandoned ownership of the name. In a statement to Eurogamer this week, a Hazelight spokesperson said the studio “cannot comment on ongoing disputes”, but the team was “hopeful it will be resolved”. Still, Hazelight did not dispute it had been forced to abandon the trademark to its game because of Take-Two - something which can be seen in this notice of abandonment sent to the US Patent Office shortly after Take-Two’s claim was filed....

As detailed on the event’s official website, the one-off concert will take place on 11th August at the Tokyo Garden Theatre and will feature original medleys of songs from Kirby’s back catalogue, as played by a “large big band-style ensemble” of 35 musicians. A large LED monitor is also promised, upon which viewers will be able to enjoy a “moving Kirby” with their eyes while they hoover in the melodies of Kirby games past with their ears....

Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga arrives after a protracted development and after a rare, brief pause in Lego game releases. Development has been tough - especially so on its team, as a recent report highlighted - and lengthy - around five years in the making. From an hour or so of playing the game, the end result feels like a familiar - albeit well polished - TT Games Lego experience....

This trailer didn’t have any real dialogue between the characters (there were plenty of tense looks and some furtive Shh-ing), but it still offered an evocative picture of the world that HBO has created for its TV audience. You can see this trailer for yourself below. Right off the bat, it is clear HBO has taken this adaptation seriously, with several scenes looking like they have been pulled straight from Naughty Dog’s video game series....

Lost Ark locks you to your starting class throughout your time in Arkesia, but the Powerpass lets you quickly raise an alt character to your main character’s level for absolutely nothing - so long as you meet the requirements. These passes are limited, though for a price, Knowledge Transfer lets you do mostly the same thing. This page explains what the Powerpass does, how to get a Powerpass, and the differences between a Powerpass vs Knowledge Transfer (in short - they are the same - except one costs more time and effort…) On this page: Instead, you’ll head down the Adventurer’s Path, where Beatrice summarizes the main game’s story and gives you a primer on how your class works....

There are many other reasons to look forward to the Pokémon Go event. You’ll be given the opportunity to catch as many Mantine as you can, with the possibility of catching a 100% perfect IV stats Mantine. You can find a preview of shiny Mantine below.

Before this event, it’s worth completing some special research quests, such as Pokémon Go Fest 2022, Rhi’s Arrival and A Radiant World....

The content in question was found by Koopavocelot (via kart_tour), and reveals new battle courses with sound files for GCN Cookie Land, DS Twilight House, Tour Paris Promenade, New York Minute and GBA Battle Course 1. This, of course, may not mean a Battle Mode is coming to Mario Kart Tour, but its an interesting thought. However, if this is going to be the case, Nintendo will need to make some (or even many) server improvements before a frenzied multiplayer experience like Battle Mode can become a reality on its free to download mobile game....
