The former president had to delete the message from the social network after the criticism.
Mike Ybarra, former president of Blizzard, has not hesitated to criticize Marvel Rivals, one of the major games released this past week that continues to break records. Although the former executive has deleted the message posted on X (Twitter), players have taken the necessary screenshot to keep it recorded.
In this message, Ybarra said that “the Overwatch Marvel Rivals seems to be coming out tomorrow“, using irony about the similarity of the new game. “The same thing happens with Light of Motiram (a blatant copy of Horizon Zero Dawn), which comes from China. Even the name Widowmaker is similar to Black Widow in Marvel Rivals,” he indicated.
Many users were quick to say that Black Widow has been a long-standing Marvel character for decades, and that, in any case, it was Overwatch that copied this character from the comic book world.

Up to 32 players will be able to enjoy a life full of blocks.
The update that LEGO Fortnite is going to receive is one of the biggest – and most unexpected – that we will have in a long time. Not only is a lot of content added, such as a kind of roleplay in the purest GTA Online style, but the game’s name is even changed to LEGO Fortnite Odyssey, among many other things.
To begin with, the name of this update is Storm Chaser! and it will be available for download starting tomorrow, December 10th. In it, the Storm King is accompanied by powerful enemies, such as the Raven leader. As a player, we will need to find the storm chasers’ village, form new friendships, and gain enough strength to defeat these enemies. But there’s more.
According to the information revealed by Epic Games itself, the other major update coming is called LEGO Fortnite Brick Life. In it, we can explore the city alongside 31 other players and visit places like cafes or furniture stores, observe beautiful photo-worthy scenes, or simply take a stroll.
If you are thinking about GTA Online and its roleplay, it is not far-fetched, as precisely a similar experience is sought. In fact, we will have to get a job before getting into the matter. The following will be available:
Courier: deliver packages to other residents of Brick Coast.
Academy Teacher: share what you know in the classes at Valdetriste Academy.
Security Agent: prove that there is no crime without punishment.
Prankster: play pranks on other citizens.
Sushi Chef: serve the tastiest fish in Brick Coast.
Bubble Tea Barista: serve the most refreshing drink in Brick Coast.
Fortune Teller: what does the future hold for you?
Players will have at their disposal sets of building blocks and decoration lots to customize everything. We invite you to visit the official website to check all the extensive information.
The video game will arrive in 2025 for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X | S, Xbox One, Switch, and PC.
Good news for fans of Kimetsu no Yaiba. SEGA announced this morning that Guardians of the Night: The Chronicles of Hinokami 2 will hit stores during the upcoming 2025. Neither day nor month has been specified, but it will be during the next term when it arrives on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X | S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
Crunchyroll is a free application that allows streaming of anime and drama shows.
Developed by CyberConnect2, this new video game continues the story from the first installment, The Hinokami Chronicles. The title managed to sell more than 4 million copies worldwide, a figure that speaks for itself about the importance achieved.
This new installment will feature the classic story mode, which starts right where the first part left off. Once again in the shoes of Tanjiro Kamado, players will be able to relive different arcs, such as the Entertainment District, the Swordsmith Village, and the Pillar Training.
Of course, the VS mode will also be available for battles between different characters. For now, the studio has announced that there will be more than 40 selectable fighters, with all those from the first game available from the start. Yes, all of them, this includes the demons added through free updates after the launch, the characters from the Entertainment District arc of the first paid DLC, and even Hashira 9, the highest rank within the demon slayers.
The development team wants everything that appeared in the first game to be the starting point for this second installment. Thanks to this, everything new will be a true “novelty,” not just a simple addition of something already existing (very common in fighting games).
The 15 episodes will come in two batches: the first with 8, and the second with 7.
If you are a regular video game player, you are surely looking forward to the Secret Level project. The new series from Amazon Prime Video is a fiction designed by and for video game lovers, as each episode aired will revolve around a particular saga. Now, which are those video games that will take center stage?
The anthology has revealed today the main franchises in each and every one of the 15 episodes. To begin with, the first 8 chapters will air tomorrow, December 10, while the other 7 will arrive on December 17, that is, a week later.
Below, we first list the episode number, the video game it covers, the chapter name, and finally, the description:
Chapter 1: Dungeons & Dragons – The Queen’s Cradle. Some adventurers rescue a child while chasing a dragon.
Chapter 2: Sifu – It Takes a Life. Very similar to the game, as it revolves around how the martial artist seeks revenge.
Chapter 3: New World – The Once and Future King. A conquering king is stranded on an island.
Chapter 4: Unreal Tournament – Xan. Some mining robots have rebelled against their masters and fight for their freedom.
Chapter 5: Warhammer 40,000 – And They Shall Know No Fear. The pursuit of a mutant sorcerer by a soldier.
Chapter 6: PAC-MAN – Circle. Trapped in a maze, he must escape from the ghosts chasing him. What else?
Chapter 7: Crossfire – Good Conflict. Several rival mercenary groups face off during a storm.
Chapter 8: Armored Core – Asset Management. The popular From Software franchise puts us in the shoes of a mecha pilot who cannot escape his past.
This is for the first week, but we also have those for the second week:
Chapter 9: The Outer Worlds – The Company We Keep. An orphan searches for a loved one within a multinational corporation.
Chapter 10: Mega Man – Start. The quest for peace to liberate Mega City. What we all ask of Mega Man.
Chapter 11: Exodus – Odyssey. A mechanic wants to find his runaway daughter across the galaxy.
Chapter 12: Spelunky – Tally. Along with Sifu, one of the episodes I’m most looking forward to. Two explorers venture into an underground world.
Chapter 13: Concord – Tale of the Implacable. The game has been a failure, but we will have a story where Captain Cassidy’s crew attempts a galactic heist.
Chapter 14: Honor of Kings – The Way of All Things. Tells the story of Master Weiqi throughout his life.
Chapter 15: Playtime – Fulfillment. Different PlayStation characters search for an object in virtual worlds.
The Android version is already available, while the iOS version will be released on February 24, 2025.
Introducing Blasphemous at this point is absurd. The Penitent One has become one of the best-selling video games in the history of Spain with more than three million copies, and growing, thanks to its latest version, that has just been released for smartphones.
If you have a mobile phone with Android as the operating system, you can now return to Custodia in the palm of your hand. This new version, created by The Game Kitchen themselves (the creators), is available on the Google Play Store for $7.99. The best part? For this price, we find the best possible version of Blasphemous.
To be exact, this version includes the base game plus all of the downloadable content released—that is The Stir of Dawn, Strife & Ruin, and Wounds of Eventide. Likewise, the touch controls have been optimized for smartphones, with a complete redesign of the menu to offer a better experience than the original. And yes, don’t worry: there is also controller compatibility.
The game features an impressive level of detail, so as long as you have a good device with an OLED screen that performs well technically, you will play Blasphemous in impressive quality.
What about people who have iOS? Well, they will have to wait a little longer. To be exact, its release is scheduled for the next February 24, 2025, so we won’t see it for another two months. The good thing is that this delay is to optimize this version as much as possible, so it is welcome.
It has entered the TOP 25 games with the highest peak on Steam.
We knew that Marvel Rivals was going to perform well, as the previous numbers regarding expectations were really promising. However, these have been greatly surpassed by reality: the new game from NetEase has been a real hit in terms of statistics obtained and has broken several records.
Marvel Rivals is a thrilling, team-based PvP game that brings the expansive Marvel universe to life in a dynamic and engaging way. This action game allows players to assemble their dream teams from a wide array of beloved Marvel characters, including heroes and villains from the Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, X-Men, and more.
To begin with, the video game has achieved a peak of 444,286 players during its first hours. Thanks to this figure, Marvel Rivals has entered the TOP 25 Steam games with the highest historical peak – precisely in the 25th position. It was just 3,000 users short of surpassing Among Us and about 14,000 short of Helldivers 2.
Continuing with data, it has been Marvel Rivals itself, through its X (formerly Twitter) profile, that has announced it has reached “number one in sales on Steam and second place among the most played,” only behind Counter Strike 2. As a detail to consider, when it refers to “sales” it means “downloads,” since Marvel Rivals is free to play, meaning there is no need to pay to play.
?We've reached Steam Top Sellers Games Top 1 and Steam Most Played Games Top 2!
We couldn't have achieved this milestone without your incredible support! A huge thank you to everyone for being with us every step of the way.
At the moment, Marvel Rivals has almost 7,000 reviews on Steam with a 76% rating, giving it a “mostly positive” rating. Considering the short time it has been available, everything indicates that the number of reviews will increase significantly during this upcoming weekend.
Marvel Rivals is a 6vs6 game where we control Marvel characters in battles typical of the genre. Of course, even though the game is free, all its monetization relies on various cosmetic elements and derivatives.

The idea is that players can obtain new rewards before Agents of Sabotage.
If you are one of those who are on vacation until Tuesday, we must first say “congratulations” for this break, and secondly, prepare yourself to enjoy the world of GTA Online. Rockstar Games has announced the content coming this week, and basically, we have more bonuses in all areas.
To be exact, the company has extended the heist challenge by one more week, as the upcoming update Agents of Sabotage is one of the biggest expected. Likewise, this gives players one last chance to reach the goal of 20 billion GTA $, a figure that must be achieved collectively to receive several rewards: a Pacific Standard jacket, the new police Predator boat, and the NOOSE police outfit.
Beyond everything, GTA Online also receives a good amount of new content. It is as follows:
Triple GTA$ and RP in community series.
Double GTA$ and RP in standard objectives.
Double GTA$ in earnings from the bail bond office staff.
Weekly Challenge: Hunt down three targets of any type to earn another 100,000 GTA$.
Premium Deluxe Motorsport Vehicles: Enus Stafford (sedan, 30% off) with the Oh Enus! livery for a limited time, Progen Tyrus (supercar, 30% off), Weeny Dynasty (classic sports car, 30% off), Dinka Thrust (motorcycle), and Invetero Coquette BlackFin (muscle car).
We have been bringing different news about the 30th anniversary of PlayStation for several days. The brand already presented an incredible commercial spot that took a journey through these thirty years of existence, but like any good anniversary, it also comes loaded with offers and discounts.
To be exact, since this past midnight, more than 3,500 discounts are now available on the PlayStation Store. The discounts apply to both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 games, so both generations have their share of offers. Likewise, there are discounts of up to 75%, all available until December 20 inclusive.
Having said that, the offers can be found through this link, but here we list some very interesting ones:
Platforms it is available for, editions available, prices, and much more.
The last month of the year is not usually a typical one for video game releases, but 2024 comes loaded with many new features, including one we are very excited about: Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.
Our beloved Indy returns to video games with an adventure that has been in development for several years. If you’re one of those who wants to get your hands on it, we tell you everything you need to know about Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.
When is Indiana Jones and the Great Circle coming out?
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle goes on sale in just a few days, this upcoming December 9, 2024, to be exact.
For which platforms is Indiana Jones and the Great Circle being released?
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is available from day 1 for Xbox Series X | S and PC. PlayStation 5 players will have to wait until spring 2025 to get their hands on it due to the existing exclusivity period on Microsoft’s console.
What is the price of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle?
True to the usual, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle arrives on the market with a large number of different editions. However, before detailing each one, it is necessary to specify that it can be played on Xbox Game Pass. Therefore, if you have a subscription to Microsoft’s service available, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will be available to play from Day 1.
Having mentioned the above, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle has the following editions:
Standard: base game and The Last Crusade pack (travel outfit and lion tamer whip). $69.99 on PC, $79.99 on consoles.
Premium: all the content of the standard plus three-day early access (to play from December 6), story expansion called The Order of the Giants, digital art book, and The Temple of Doom outfit. $99.99 on PC, $109.99 on consoles.
Collector: all the content of the Premium edition plus a Jumbo Steelbook case (metal box), a physical diary, a 28 cm globe with a hidden compartment, and a replica of the Creator’s relic that holds the game key. The price is $199.99 for both versions.
What is Indiana Jones and the Great Circle?
Behind Indiana Jones and the Great Circle lies the new adventure of the famous archaeologist. Announced in January 2021 by Lucasfilm Games and Bethesda, and developed by MachineGames, creators of the latest installments of the Wolfenstein series, this Indy installment bets on a terrain where the Swedish studio excels: the first-person action genre.
Instead of opting for a third-person view like it could be Uncharted or Tomb Raider, MachineGames has decided to go where they know best. Thanks to this, we will see everything through the eyes of Indiana Jones, from his usual punches to the shots or whiplashes he delivers. Likewise, all this action will be accompanied by very beautiful settings where jumps and movement will be very present, as well as puzzles. What would Indiana Jones be without puzzles, right?
What is the story of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle?
Although the idea of adapting the movies might have been tempting, Lucasfilm had something much better in mind: developing an exclusive story in the Indiana Jones universe.
To be exact, the story of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle takes place in the year 1937, between Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Last Crusade. A large group wants to seize the secret power of the Great Circle, so our beloved Indiana Jones must prevent that from happening.
During the adventure, we will have the opportunity to explore a multitude of different spaces, from the classrooms of Marshall University to the heart of the Vatican, the pyramids of Egypt, or the submerged temples of Sukhothai. There are more locations planned, but the Swedish team has not wanted to reveal more surprises.
Up to this point, the most important things you need to know about Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. It’s your turn to step into the explorer’s shoes and combine the best stealth, action… and the wisdom to solve the puzzles!
This update does not change the fact that the game will remain in early access.
Although for many it may be under the radar, the reality is that Manor Lords has been a complete success. The video game was released in April of this year in early access, a state in which it has managed to sell more than two million copies worldwide. The figure is impressive, as early access itself means that the game is far from having completed its development and needs updates… like the one we now have on our hands.
Slavic Magic has announced on Steam that a major update is coming for the game. To begin with, Manor Lords will introduce two new maps for players to enjoy, and the existing buildings in the game will also be improved. In this way, buildings and new maps create a perfect symbiosis.
Regarding mechanics, some game settings have also been modified. For example, the system for delivering water and beer to settlements is now different, as it aims to optimize the use of wells and taverns, respectively. On the other hand, this is also linked to the markets, where three different wealth distribution systems have been tested to see which is the most optimal, in addition to being able to filter the types of trade based on the goods being transported.
Manor Lords is a title being developed by a single person, Greg Styczen. During all this time, the developer has managed to improve his production after several years working on his game. Thanks to all this work, Manor Lords has been nominated for best video game of the year in the category of Best Debut Indie Game and Best Sim/Strategy.
