In a world where 2022 was remembered for titles like Elden Ring, Vampire Survivors, and Persona 5 Royal, an unexpected competitor has emerged for the Game of the Year title: Placid Plastic Duck Simulator. This game, which captured the attention of players and received an impressive rating of 95.36% on Steam, revolves around the simplicity of watching plastic ducks float. But over time, the developers have decided to take the experience to a new level.
The same game, now multiplayer
The spiritual successor to the original game, titled Slowly Sliding Ducks, introduces a series of additions that significantly expand gameplay. Maintaining the charming aesthetic of the little ducks, the game now includes an online PvP mode, where up to 16 players can participate in frantic water battles. The trailer reveals that players will be able to face off in scenarios that include bombs, ice, and football strategies, evoking the madness and fun of titles like Fall Guys.
An interesting aspect of Slowly Sliding Ducks is its responsible approach to microtransactions. According to Turbolento Games, all cosmetic items can be unlocked through gameplay, and no one will be at a disadvantage in competitions due to mere monetary acquisition, as accessories do not influence player performance. This highlights a commitment to fairness in gaming, features that are being well received in the gaming community.
A release date for Slowly Sliding Ducks has not yet been announced, but expectations are high. SIf the developers meet the enthusiasm they have generated, they could be on track to offer an experience that, although unusual, promises to be both fun and competitive.
A player has decided to challenge his own skills in the popular video game Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, posting a daily video on his channel titled Killing Inner Isshin Everyday. In this challenge, he faces Inner Isshin, one of the most feared bosses in the title developed by FromSoftware. For 335 consecutive days, this player aims to defeat this formidable enemy, using only his sword and without the possibility of healing, using items or charms, or being hit during combat. The motivation behind this arduous challenge is the player’s growing frustration with the lack of additional content […]
A player has decided to challenge their own skills in the popular video game Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, posting a daily video on their channel titled Killing Inner Isshin Everyday. In this challenge, they face Inner Isshin, one of the most feared bosses in the title developed by FromSoftware. For 335 consecutive days, this player aims to defeat this formidable enemy, using only their sword and without the possibility of healing, using items or charms, or being hit during combat.
The motivation behind this arduous challenge is the growing frustration of the player due to the lack of additional content in Sekiro since its release six years ago. Unlike other FromSoftware titles, such as Elden Ring or Bloodborne, which have kept their communities engaged with updates and expansions, Sekiro has largely remained static. This player hopes that their dedication and visibility on social media can influence a possible expansion or sequel to the game.
A rather unique but not singular form of peaceful protest
Comparing their effort to other challenges in the gamer community, such as a player who kills Hornet daily in Hollow Knight while waiting for the arrival of Silksong, this challenge also reflects a desire to keep attention on a title that, despite its success, has seen little subsequent development. As six years since its release are fulfilled, the likelihood of FromSoftware announcing a new expansion seems elusive, and many in the community are asking what will happen with the future of Sekiro.
The limits and rules imposed by the player not only increase the difficulty of the challenge but also highlight their commitment to the game. Although their goal is clear, time will tell if this bloody routine succeeds in generating the interest that the developer hopes for in order to continue expanding the Sekiro universe.
Split Fiction, the new cooperative title from Hazelight Studios, has managed to integrate various references to video game culture, particularly highlighting its homage to the popular Dark Souls series. At a key moment in the game, players can find an iconic interactive campfire, which not only serves as a visual element but also allows characters to sit next to their adventure companion. By doing so, the message Moonfire Lit is activated, a clear allusion to the well-known Bonfire Lit from Dark Souls 3.

By doing so, the message Moonfire Lit is activated, a clear allusion to the well-known Bonfire Lit from Dark Souls 3.
Hazelight Studios, known for their work on acclaimed titles like It Takes Two and A Way Out, constantly seeks to add cultural layers to their games, and Split Fiction is no exception. This dedication translates into a universe where every element can have a meaningful background, inviting players to explore and discover connections beyond gameplay.
Not just Dark Souls: another great game from From Software
In addition to the bonfire, the ghostly snails that appear alongside it have made their presence known. This inclusion seems to be another subtle reference to FromSoftware titles, particularly to their popular game Elden Ring. In this game, snails have become a peculiarity, acting as bosses that hide and use different types of ghost enemies to annoy players. This relationship adds another layer of depth, creating a bridge between two gaming experiences that, although different, share a rich history of design and challenges.
In the vast landscape of gaming, the bonfires of Dark Souls have set an almost unavoidable precedent. Through titles like Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 and now Split Fiction, it seems that these elements will challenge the creativity of developers, who are almost compelled to pay homage to a legacy that has marked a generation of players.
Steam, the premier platform for PC gaming, has reached an unprecedented milestone by surpassing 40 million players connected simultaneously. This record, achieved on Sunday, March 2 at 3:04 PM, has been primarily driven by the recent release of Monster Hunter Wilds. This new title from Capcom attracted over 1.3 million players at the time of its launch, highlighting the massive impact the series has on the gaming community.

Steam, the premier platform for PC gaming, has reached an unprecedented milestone by surpassing 40 million players connected simultaneously. This record, achieved last Sunday, March 2 at 3:04 PM, has been primarily driven by the recent release of Monster Hunter Wilds. This new title from Capcom attracted over 1.3 million players at the time of its launch, highlighting the massive impact the series has on the gaming community.
The figure of 40,236,608 concurrent players reflects not only the popularity of Monster Hunter Wilds but also the continuous growth of the Steam platform and its ability to attract a large part of the gaming community. To put this figure into perspective, it is equivalent to approximately 80% of all PlayStation 5 owners being online at the same time, demonstrating the appeal of the PC/SteamOS system.
A joint effort among numerous games
However, Monster Hunter Wilds was not the only title that contributed to reaching this record figure. Other games that traditionally dominate player lists, such as CS:GO, PUBG, and DOTA 2, also played a crucial role by adding more than three million players combined during the same period. This phenomenon demonstrates that, although a new release may attract a crowd, the Steam user base remains active thanks to established titles.
The registration of more than 40 million concurrent players is not uncommon in the Steam ecosystem. As was the case with previous high-profile releases like Cyberpunk 2077, Elden Ring, and Hogwarts Legacy, it is clear that interest in video games continues to grow steadily. With the ongoing rise of Steam and its expanding library, the future looks promising for the platform and its users.
After the success of Elden Ring, we were all eager to know what the next game from From Software would be. Little could we imagine that it would be Elden Ring: Nightrein, a crossover between the gameplay foundation of their previous game and the formulas of games as a service. With skepticism but interest, we have been following all the information. And this past weekend we were able to try the closed beta of the game. What are our impressions? Well, that’s what we came to talk about, but it can be summarized in that there is potential here, although not without caveats. Perhaps the biggest problem of this closed beta […]

Well, that’s what we came to talk about, but it can be summarized in that there is potential here, although not without caveats.
Perhaps the biggest problem with this closed beta has been the network issues. Not being able to play with friends at any time, as matchmaking was not working, has made the experience of playing Nightrein very different from what we expect the final experience to be. Going through scenarios of the Middle Lands with three people that gradually decrease until we confront a final boss, the possibility of playing with friends would have made the experience very different from playing with strangers. Allowing for more cooperation and undoubtedly, more laughter.
ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN is an independent action game set in the acclaimed universe of ELDEN RING, designed for Windows. This title introduces a new gaming experience by reinterpreting the mechanics of the original game while maintaining its characteristic immersive world. Players can expect rich landscapes and an intricate narrative, inviting them to explore and conquer new challenges.
Elden Ring: Nightrein is not Elden Ring, it is Risk of Rain
Because that is the first thing to highlight about Elden Ring: Nightrein. This is not Elden Ring. The setting is much smaller, there is no fall damage, and it has all the flavor of a battle royale.
As soon as we start, eagles make us fall in the center of the stage and from there, we can spread out across the map. With limits. Every few minutes, a blue fire will consume a larger piece of the map, constraining us to a smaller circle. Much more similar in shape to Apex Legends and Risk of Rain than to Fortnite, the fun here is less about getting loot and more about gaining experience. Leveling up is essential, mainly to face the bosses.
There are bosses everywhere in Nightrein. And they are the foundation of the game. We can progress solo, but it is wiser to do so with our companions for two reasons: experience is shared among the three of us and it is impossible to defeat the bosses solo. The game wants us to gain experience by defeating small enemies, level up, and take advantage of that increase to finish off the bosses that populate the stage to obtain special loot, from which we can choose one out of three options, customized according to our character for each of the players.
Less deep than Elden Ring, but no less interesting
Because in addition, although the characters are pre-generated, they are very customizable. Although two of the characters had strength builds, one had dexterity and the other magic, the differences were very marked. And it was easy to be flexible about what they wanted to do. The powers and their abilities depend on the weapons, which is why loot becomes important, but the best equipment always drops from the bosses, so we should always prioritize them over everything else.
Especially because, when the circle closes, night falls. Then, we have to face a particularly large and terrible boss. If we have done our job well up to that point, we will have a challenging and difficult fight, but one that we can overcome with cunning and teamwork. If not, we will die miserably. This is still a game from From Software. The reward will either be an upgrade or a particularly powerful piece of equipment. We will need it because the Nightrein matches are divided into three days and three nights, where we will have to survive until the end to conclude each of its scenarios.
Interestingly, all of this feels very good. The first hour of gameplay is confusing and a bit clunky, but after that, everything feels quite good. The integration of certain battle royale elements, such as eagle movements and dropping us at certain points, feels out of place and adds nothing, but the integration of powers and weapons into the team makes the experience more agile without losing too much depth. This is not Elden Ring, but it still feels like Elden Ring.
In addition, there is a progression factor throughout the game. Each game, whether we manage to complete the scenarios or not, will give us certain rewards with which we can improve our characters. This will greatly facilitate our ability to tackle subsequent games, providing a generous progression.
All of this creates a more than solid foundation to create an agile, fun, and different experience. It may not be as deep and intelligent as other recent games from the company, like Elden Ring or Armored Core 6, but it is interesting. And that is not saying little.

This title introduces a new gaming experience by reinterpreting the mechanics of the original game while maintaining its characteristic immersive world. Players can expect rich landscapes and an intricate narrative, inviting them to explore and conquer new challenges.
The future of Elden Ring: Nightrein is something we cannot know, but
Now, will it work in the medium or long term? That is the big question. For this game to work, it must have a progression that feels natural and enough content to keep fans entertained for at least a couple of hundred hours. Following the formula of games like Fortnite and drowning players in content would be a mistake, but following the formula of Monster Hunter, from which it shamelessly draws in many aspects, could be perfect: providing new periodic content to always keep the game fresh without requiring players to dedicate their lives to it.
Whether it will be a success or not is something that remains to be seen. It is impossible to know. What is clear is that From Software continues to do what they want. F. A game without concessions, playful and with its own peculiarities typical of the studio. Will it work? Won’t it? It doesn’t matter. The important thing is that we can breathe easy: From Software remains who they are. Those weird but nice and very clever guys who do whatever they please.

The collaboration between Sony and FromSoftware, which has resulted in iconic titles like Bloodborne and Demon’s Souls, is currently experiencing significant expansion. According to the recent financial report from Kadokawa, which owns FromSoftware, Sony will play a key role as the publisher and distributor of the Japanese studio’s upcoming games. This relationship is further strengthened by the fact that Sony is its largest shareholder, allowing for a synergy that could redefine the landscape of video games and entertainment in general.

The collaboration between Sony and FromSoftware, which has led to iconic titles such as Bloodborne and Demon’s Souls, is currently experiencing significant expansion. According to the recent financial report from Kadokawa, which owns FromSoftware, Sony will play a key role as publisher and distributor of the upcoming games from the Japanese studio. This relationship is further strengthened, given that Sony is its largest shareholder, allowing for a synergy that could redefine the landscape of video games and entertainment in general.
The collaboration with Sony will allow Kadokawa to move more strategically
Kadokawa has expressed its intentions to enhance the creation of intellectual properties, focusing on synergies in anime, movies, and video games, thanks to the financial and strategic support of Sony. This partnership will not only be limited to FromSoftware titles but will also involve other teams, such as Acquire and Spike Chunsoft, which could result in an enriching diversification of their product offerings.
Currently, FromSoftware is working on multiple projects, with Elden Ring: Nightreign at the forefront, which promises to be a major sales success in 2025. This new title, which incorporates cooperative and roguelike elements, is part of a broader strategy by Kadokawa to increase its game production and quality, anticipating a 44.5% increase in profits compared to the previous year.
Analysts suggest that, with this alliance and the growing portfolio of projects in development, Kadokawa could be on the threshold of an unprecedented period of economic success. This contrasts with the path that has led FromSoftware to become one of the most influential companies in the field, with a legacy that continues to enrich video game culture.

A new mod for Elden Ring, titled Great Shinobi Blade – Owl Moveset, has captured the attention of the gaming community by incorporating an extra-large katana with unique moves inspired by the iconic character Great Shinobi Owl from Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. Developed by the modder known as cleverraptor6, this mod allows players to explore a variety of combat strategies, both in one-handed and two-handed modes.
Sekiro in Elden Ring, with everything that can break along the way
One of the most notable features of the mod is the ability to throw shurikens as light and heavy attacks while holding the katana in one hand. By switching to a two-handed style, players can access a set of sword moves that offer considerable versatility, a rarity among Elden Ring weapons. This focus on skill and variety redefines combat, allowing players to perform acrobatic and powerful moves.
Additionally, Great Shinobi Blade includes an enhanced jump and a backflip acrobatics, allowing users to attack from the air and effectively avoid enemy attacks. Following Sekiro’s combat philosophy, the mod replaces the block function with a deflection system that reduces damage and stamina wear, facilitating quick counterattacks. It also incorporates an ability that allows the character to disappear in a cloud of mist before reappearing to execute a strong downward strike, a mechanic that has proven to be effectively useful in battles against difficult bosses like Malenia.
The complexity and depth of the code behind this mod suggest a promising future for the creation of more elaborate mods for Elden Ring. Interested parties can download Great Shinobi Blade – Owl Moveset on NexusMods, a popular site for video game mods, where the community continues to explore the possibilities of the game.
Nintendo has confirmed the release of the Switch 2 for 2025, with a design reminiscent of the original model but with improved features. The new console will feature a larger screen, magnetic Joy-Cons, more ports, and an updated dock. This adjustment in Nintendo’s formula comes after the resounding success of the classic Switch, which debuted with iconic titles like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Mario Kart 8: Deluxe.

Little Nintendo, which will be presented in April, but great third-party support
Among the games already confirmed for launch are a new Mario Kart, titled Mario Kart 9, which is expected to be a major system seller, and Yooka-Replayee. Additionally, the release of Synth Beasts is anticipated, a Diablo-style game focused on capturing and upgrading monsters, which could fill the gap left by recent Pokémon titles that have received mixed reviews for their technical performance.
On the other hand, Warner Bros. is working on the adaptation of Gotham Knights for the Switch 2, and there are rumors that Elden Ring, along with other Xbox and Sony franchises, could come to the new console. Although it is still early to expect titles like Halo, Microsoft has indicated its support for the Switch 2, suggesting the possibility of exploring remakes of classics like Oblivion.
Regarding Mario games, both a new installment and a 3D Mario are anticipated to be in development, taking advantage of the recent popularity of the Super Mario Bros movie. However, it is uncertain if a new Zelda title will be released alongside the console, given that backward compatibility has been confirmed and players will be able to enjoy Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom on the new hardware.

Elon Musk has been at the center of controversy after admitting that he used external help to improve his character in Path of Exile 2. This revelation came after a private conversation on Twitter with the popular YouTuber NikoWrex, who shared the dialogue he had with the magnate. Despite the accusations and suspicions surrounding him, Musk defended himself when questioned if he would apologize to the gaming community, stating, “What would I have to apologize for?”.
Musk, a cheater inside and outside the game
The doubts about Musk’s ability to reach high levels in the game without external assistance have sparked an intense debate about the authenticity of his success in the world of video games, especially in an environment where time and skill are crucial factors. Apparently, the achievement of a character with outstanding statistics raises questions about whether he truly possesses the necessary skills to achieve it.
It is not the first case of celebrities admitting to resorting to third parties to improve their performance in video games. WWE wrestler Randy Orton also confessed that he paid $1,000 to obtain a more powerful character in Elden Ring. This type of confession has sparked a broader debate about the ethics of using external help in the gaming realm, raising questions about fair competition and the true value of achievements in video games.
As these discussions expand, the community of Path of Exile 2 and other similar titles is watching closely, wondering if the use of such practices should be accepted or rejected in contemporary gamer culture. The comments and reactions of the players will continue to fuel this debate in the coming days. Unless Musk’s suspiciously fascist movements stifle the conversation first.
