Gameplay of The Day Before was released, Knockout City is shutting down, and Monster Hunter Rise has reached a new sales milestone.

Monster Hunter Rise Sales

Capcom has made an exciting announcement regarding the sales figures of their highly popular game, Monster Hunter Rise. The game has managed to achieve a staggering milestone, with over 12 million copies sold worldwide. This remarkable success can be attributed to its availability on various platforms, including PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, PC, and Nintendo Switch. With its immersive gameplay and captivating storyline, Monster Hunter Rise has captured the hearts of millions of players around the globe.


In addition to its remarkable sales figures, Capcom has recently released next-gen versions of Monster Hunter Rise for both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. This move has allowed players to experience the game's stunning graphics and enhanced performance on the latest gaming consoles. Whether you prefer the intense battles on a traditional console or the convenience of gaming on a PC or Switch, Monster Hunter Rise offers an incredible and immersive experience for all players.


To further expand the gaming experience, Capcom has also announced an upcoming expansion pack for Monster Hunter Rise called "Sunbreak." This expansion promises to introduce new quests, monsters, and exciting content that will keep players engaged and entertained for hours on end. With the success of the base game and the anticipation surrounding the upcoming expansion, Monster Hunter Rise continues to be a must-play title for fans of the franchise.

Knockout City Shutting Down

Breaking the news to fans, it has been announced that Knockout City, the popular dodgeball battle royale game, will be shutting down on June 6, 2023. This decision comes as a surprise to many players who have enjoyed the unique and adrenaline-fueled experience that Knockout City provided.


The developer of Knockout City released a lengthy blog post to explain the reasoning behind this unfortunate shutdown. It appears that the battle royale genre, which was once on the rise, has now become saturated with numerous similar games. This oversaturation has made it increasingly difficult for individual titles to stand out and retain a dedicated player base.


While it is undoubtedly disappointing news for the fans of Knockout City, it is crucial to recognize the challenges faced by game developers in such a competitive industry. The closure of Knockout City serves as a reminder of the importance of innovation and consistently delivering fresh experiences to captivate players in the long run.

The Day Before Gameplay

Recently, a sneak peek into the world of The Day Before was unveiled with the release of 10 minutes of gameplay footage. However, the initial impressions of this upcoming survival game were mixed, with some players expressing disappointment.


The gameplay footage revealed a world that felt somewhat lifeless - lacking the lively and immersive atmosphere that is often expected from similar titles. One noticeable aspect was the absence of any significant sounds or music, aside from the characters' footsteps. This absence of audio left the gameplay feeling somewhat hollow and devoid of the energy usually associated with survival games.


Another aspect that left some players underwhelmed was the lack of interaction with the zombies. The limited engagement with these key adversaries was seen as a missed opportunity to heighten the tension and excitement of the gameplay experience. Players suggested that adding a captivating soundtrack or incorporating atmospheric elements, such as dust blowing in the wind, could greatly enhance the overall immersion and make the world feel more alive.


It is important to note that the released gameplay footage represents only a slice of what the final game may offer. Game development is an iterative process, and the developers have the opportunity to address the feedback and refine the experience before the official release. As the development of The Day Before progresses, it is hoped that the final product will meet and exceed players' expectations, delivering a captivating and immersive survival experience comparable to other renowned titles in the genre, such as The Division.


In conclusion, the gaming industry continues to evolve, presenting new successes, challenges, and opportunities. Monster Hunter Rise's impressive sales figures and upcoming expansion demonstrate the ongoing appeal and excitement surrounding the franchise. Conversely, the unfortunate closure announcement of Knockout City highlights the competitive nature of the industry and the need for fresh ideas to thrive. With regards to The Day Before, while the initial gameplay footage may have left some players wanting more, there is still anticipation and hope that the final product will offer the immersive survival experience that fans of the genre crave.
