The news of the sequel to Tomb Raider made fans very happy, and Crystal Power also tweeted: "We are excited that the next Tomb Raider game will be developed on Unreal 5, and we are very optimistic about the future of Unreal Engine, which will help us take the story to the next level." ”

Tom Henderson, a well-known uncle party, recently broke the news that Ubisoft is developing a PvPvE third-person shooter code-named "Pathfinder" (Trailblazer).
This new PvPvE third-person shooter features battle royale elements and offers a whole new set of gameplay on top of that. The game uses an art style similar to That of Mega Hunter City, with new PvE content added under the traditional Battle Royale "circle" mechanic. Using a hero character with unique abilities and skills, players will form a four-player squad with three other players to reach the central area of the map from the periphery of the large map, where they will defeat the AI-controlled boss.
In order to reach the central area, the player must also pass through two walls, but the location of the door that can pass through the wall changes randomly in each game. As you try to find and cross the door, other AI enemies, rival players, and opposing teams will stand in your way. Fighting them allows you to level up the characters you control to become more powerful, and the AI enemies in this game will become more and more powerful as the game progresses.
Henderson also added that Pathfinder will also have a central hub system similar to the "tower" in the Destiny series. In this area players will be able to communicate with each other, use shops, travel to the range, participate in events, use vehicles, and more.
Ubisoft's previous attempts in the field of battle royale have not been very successful, and the sci-fi FPS "Super Hunter City" will also be officially discontinued on April 28. In addition, Henderson also said in another breaking news that Ubisoft plans to release more than 20 new announcements and updates in the near future, including the new "Assassin's Creed" series, the sequel to "Wataru: The Rise of Fennis", "Drag Race 3" and the 2.5D version of "Prince of Persia" inspired by "Ori and the Dark Forest".
At present, Ubisoft has not responded to the above rumors, you can first eat melon cautiously and wait for official news.
CDPR confirmed the development of The Witcher 4 in March this year, and surprisingly, instead of continuing to use the self-developed RED engine, they chose unreal engine 5 to develop The Witcher 4. At yesterday's Unreal 5 showcase, CDPR Studio members talked about why it changed.
Jakub Knapik, Visual Effects and Lighting Art Director, said, "Unreal Engine is like a toolbox with built-in features and solutions that allow teams to try out new ideas. In fact, there are already many teams around the world that are using Unreal Engine, and a lot of ideas are being projected into the engine's design, making it more flexible and convenient. ”
Game director Jason Slama also said that another big reason for changing the engine for the new Wizarding game is unreal 5's optimizations for the development world. "In an open world, players want to be able to explore every corner of the game freely," Slama says. But to achieve this, developers need a very stable environment to build and change, and make sure it doesn't bug. UE5 makes it easier for developers to handle the issues they encounter, making the game even better. ”
Valve, a well-known "vacation" company, said it will increase Steam Deck shipments in the second quarter of this year. The official team tweeted: "Welcome to Q2, we just sent the first set of email orders to Q2 bookers. Starting today, we'll be increasing steam deck shipments and will be sending more emails to confirm orders, sometimes even twice a week! ”
In addition to increasing shipments, Valve has also updated its product page and clarified the meaning of Q2 and Q3. For users who order now, Q3 means that shipments are not possible until October 2022.
