Key Takeaways

📺 Elden Ring Nightreign Duos Discussed

Elden Ring Nightreign will be releasing on 30 May 2025. Director Hidetaka Miyazaki revealed in an insightful interview that while Nightreign's core design targeted three-player co-op, fan feedback has sparked new interest in duo play. According to an IGN feature on duo mechanics, the team felt pairs were "kind of overlooked and neglected", but are now exploring scalable encounters for two adventurers. Meanwhile, the Executor Character Trailer from BANDAI NAMCO Europe showcases stunning boss arenas tailored for dynamic co-op strategies, hinting at how bosses may be rebalanced for fewer players. With a month until launch, fans are already speculating how damage scaling and summons will adapt for duo sessions, and whether special "duo-exclusive" weapons or buffs might appear.


Nightreign introduces three bespoke classes—Sentinel, Abysswalker, and Rune-Mage—each equipped to handle the nightmare realms. Sentinels boast heavy armor and crowd-control shields ideal for soaking up hits, while Abysswalkers excel in agility and bleed damage for quick takedowns. Rune-Mages combine sorcery with glyph traps, offering tactical range options. Early playtests suggest Runes can be cast on environmental hazards, creating combo opportunities when duos coordinate abilities. And with new Ashes of War attuned to cooperative buffs, players can experiment with shield-link parries or synchronised warp strikes. Whether you prefer tanking hordes or weaving through gauntlets, Nightreign's class system promises fresh twists on FromSoftware's signature challenge.

📺 Days Gone Remastered PS5 Pro Patch

Days Gone Remastered PS5 Pro patch has been released. The latest update for Sony's open-world zombie survival title brings targeted enhancements for PlayStation 5 Pro hardware. As detailed by VGC's coverage of the patch, it adds Global Illumination via PSSR, boosts base frame-rate stability under huge horde loads, and patches minor audio glitches that appeared when facing 500+ Ridden at once. The official launch trailer on the PlayStation channel now reflects these visual improvements, highlighting richer lighting and sharper textures in post-apocalyptic Oregon. Developers also optimized loading times—loading a horde scenario now takes under 8 seconds—while addressing rare progression-blocking bugs.


How to install the Days Gone Remastered PS5 Pro patch. Installation is straightforward: simply launch the PS5's game library, highlight Days Gone Remastered, and select "Check for Update". The download weighs in at approximately 3.2 GB, so ensure your console has space. Once installed, players can toggle the enhanced Pro mode under Options → Graphics, choosing between "Performance" (targeting 60 FPS) or "Quality" (targeting 30 FPS with higher fidelity). The patch also unlocks an optional "Horde Rush" challenge, letting you replay key horde battles with leaderboards—perfect for speed-run competitions. Whether you're a returning survivor or newcomer, these refinements make for the smoothest Days Gone experience yet on PS5 Pro.

📺 Silent Hill f Independent Of Series

Silent Hill f is independent and not a sequel or prequel to any other game in the series. Konami's latest horror entry positions itself as a fresh starting point, rather than tying into existing lore. In an IGN article, the publisher emphasizes that newcomers can dive straight into Silent Hill f without prior knowledge of the franchise's mythology. The Reveal Trailer underscores this approach, showcasing a brand-new protagonist navigating haunting environments that blend psychological dread with cinematic storytelling. A tweet from the official Japanese Silent Hill account further clarifies that longstanding fans will still spot thematic Easter eggs, but won't need to decode past narratives to follow the plot. Konami aims to widen the audience by streamlining tutorials and balancing scares for both veterans and virgin players.


Silent Hill f is designed to attract new players by offering a fresh starting point. While details on release timing remain under wraps, early previews hint at modernized gameplay systems: intuitive inventory management replaces cumbersome menus, and a dynamic fear meter influences enemy behavior—raise it too high and hallucinations can turn the environment against you. Combat appears more strategic, with limited ammo increasing tension and encouraging stealth. Environmental puzzles integrate seamlessly with story beats, avoiding the "stop-and-solve" feel of older entries. Sound design, already lauded in the trailer, uses binaural audio to heighten immersion, leveraging PS5's Tempest Engine for directional cues. Silent Hill f could redefine psychological horror by combining accessible mechanics with signature atmosphere, potentially inviting a new generation into the fog-shrouded streets of this legendary town.
