ResetEra user Hevy008, a verified Character Artist, first claimed to have just finished working at Bethesda Game Studios last week, then added that most of the rumors from SKULLZI were nonsense. For example, he stated that Bethesda Game Studios Dallas was just prototyping the Spyteam project as a pet project of Todd Howard before the whole team was put on Starfield duty. His post inevitably sparked a series of questions from other ResetEra users, which prompted a huge response from Hevy008....

The rumor says Stuntfest will be inspired by the studio’s former titles but also by Destruction All-Stars, as player characters will get to leave the car and move on foot, too. Locations reportedly include desertlike routes. Do remember to take all of this with a huge grain of salt until an official announcement comes in. We may learn more about Stuntfest at THQ Nordic’s Digital Showcase, planned for August 12th....

The Sunbreak expansion is also doing very well on Steam. SteamDB registered a new concurrent player peak of 234K about twenty hours ago, roughly 100K higher than that of the original Monster Hunter Rise launch in January. With Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak, CAPCOM added NVIDIA DLSS support on PC, which is certainly helpful for GeForce RTX owners. However, DLSS also introduces a visual bug where the fur of the beloved cat-like Palicoes companions isn’t properly rendered....

Despite Impressive Hardware and Software, the Pixel 6 is Not Selling Well However, despite the incentives, the report mentions that there is nearly zero interest in the Pixel 6 series aside from Verizon....

TCP’s metacritic score is in the mid 70s, apparently too low for Krafton investors who were hoping the IP could become a new pillar for the PUBG company....

The big addition of The Elder Scrolls Online: Firesong is Galen, one of the four main islands located in the Systres Archipelago. According to the lore, Galen has long been the home of druidic circles thanks to its vast overgrown forest and forbidding jungles.

Nacon will pay up to 53 million euros for Daedalic, although only 32 million euros are guaranteed – the rest are based on “performance” between now and 2026. In other words, Daedalic getting their full payout largely depends on The Lord of the Rings: Gollum being a success. The Lord of the Rings: Gollum creeps onto PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, and Switch sometime in 2022.
