It’s fair to assume that one of the easiest shoo-ins for a Game of the Year contender is Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Despite being developed by a smaller team, the game took the world by storm because of its heart-rending story and dynamic gameplay. Now, Sandfall Interactive has confirmed that more content is on its way.

Today, Expedition 33 is celebrating five million copies sold worldwide. To celebrate the occasion, Sandfall Interactive has announced that a new update will introduce new ways to play the game.

It’s not just a small update either. According to the studio’s announcement, the update will include “a new, playable environment” with new enemies and surprises. A new area does not seem like a small thing.

Additionally, there will be “challenging, new boss battles” and “new costumes.” Besides the gameplay, costumes are one of the best things about the game. Players can customize how their characters can look with a variety of outfits, including swimsuits and the now-iconic French costumes.

There is some precedent with releasing more content for the game. Previously, there was talk that the game’s final act was supposed to be longer but was unfortunately cut because of the development time needed. If true, post-release content updates should bring the game closer to what the developers intended.

But, please, we hope it’s not another version of Simon.

After an effortful visit to medieval Japan, the Assassin’s Creed franchise must soon make its way to uncharted territories. Right now, Ubisoft has not announced where the series is going next. However, a new report seemingly confirms that it won’t be in the Reconstruction era after the American Civil War.

According to Game File, Ubisoft has reportedly cancelled a major entry in the history-hopping series. The cancelled game would have taken players into the shoes of a Black man recently emancipated after the Civil War. The protagonist would have started a new life until circumstances forced him back to the South to fight against racist institutions like the Ku Klux Klan.

The studio supposedly cancelled development towards the project after the online backlash against Yasuka, a Black samurai who was one of the two protagonists in the recent Assassin’s Creed Shadows. The report’s sources also say that the cancellation is also due to the ongoing political climate in the United States.

Though the concern over America’s current state is valid, it’s odd for Ubisoft to back down from portraying race in the series. Prior to Yasuke in Shadows, the series already had Black protagonists in two spin-off games: Liberation and Freedom Cry. The latter is even centered on the emancipation from slavery.

Without the cancelled game, the franchise is looking towards two upcoming games: a supposed remake of Black Flag and an unknown major entry called Hexe.

The PlayStation 5 has been out for several years now. Despite how much time the console has had to marinate, the DualSense controller has honestly failed to impress with its variety of colors, especially when compared to the vibrant colors of the DualShock 4.

Of the nineteen available colors on the PlayStation website, only three options are, to me, worth the expensive price tag: Chroma Pearl, Chroma Teal, and the 30^th Anniversary Edition. All the rest are either solid colors that clash horribly with the black panel or peppered with gaudy decals.

Just look at how terrible this looks.

If you have the same aversion to PlayStation’s creative choices as I do, the DualSense just got a new color option that might (or might not) appeal to you: the Icon Blue Special Edition.

Blue isn’t a new color for the controller. PlayStation has a healthy lineup of blue options such as Cobalt Blue and Chroma Indigo. However, in this case, the Icon Blue Special Edition lays it on thick on the duotone scale.

The main chassis is practically the same shade as Cobalt Blue. However, the touchpad, the bottom portion, the joysticks, and the PlayStation button are a lighter shade of blue.

For decals, the touchpad has translucent and subtle PlayStation buttons. On the back, the controller has “Pureisutēshon” written in katakana.

The design itself is giving off heavy Mega Man energy. In a sense, the colors do look loud. However, it’s a step in the right direction. It isn’t insisting on the black casing that clashes with everything except monochromatic colors. Hopefully, PlayStation develops more duotone options.

The Icon Blue Special Edition will become available in the United States starting on October 20. It sells for US$ 84.99.
