Battlefield 6 players are about to see a major shake-up in how they earn rewards. Starting next week, DICE is rolling out an XP boost that grants 40% extra experience for completing daily tasks. Even better, the XP required to unlock the first 20 attachment ranks will be significantly reduced, helping players access their favorite loadouts faster. The announcement came via the Battlefield 6 Community Update on X, where developers emphasized smoother progression and better pacing for both newcomers and veterans. According to VGC's report, these adjustments are part of a wider strategy to make the early game feel less punishing and more rewarding.
The update coincides with renewed hype around the franchise, bolstered by the Official Battlefield 6 Launch Hype Trailer, which showcases the series' trademark chaos and cinematic spectacle. This XP boost signals that DICE is listening to its community's concerns about grind fatigue â something every seasoned player can appreciate. From my own years of gaming, I know how pivotal small tweaks like this can be in keeping players engaged long-term. Whether you're chasing your next attachment or simply climbing the ranks, this boost promises to make every firefight feel more worthwhile.
A different kind of battle is unfolding behind the scenes â this time in the courtroom. Sony has filed for a preliminary injunction against Tencent over the upcoming title Light of Motiram, alleging that it borrows heavily from the Horizon series' distinctive art style, character design, and even music. The move, reported by Game Rant, seeks to block Tencent from releasing the game in its current form. However, since Light of Motiram has yet to be officially released, the injunction faces a challenge â design elements could still change before launch. Legal experts suggest this makes Sony's case a complex one, dependent on how much of the final product mirrors Horizon's world and protagonist.
Visually, it's easy to understand the comparison. The Light of Motiram Reveal Trailer teases lush environments, advanced ruins, and a heroine exploring a post-technological landscape â all reminiscent of Horizon Forbidden West, which itself stunned audiences in its announcement trailer with vibrant ecosystems and robotic wildlife. Whether this is coincidence or imitation remains to be seen. For now, Sony's legal action highlights the fine line between creative inspiration and intellectual property infringement â an issue becoming increasingly relevant as developers borrow from popular genres and aesthetics. The outcome could influence how studios handle artistic overlaps in future projects.
Survival horror fans have reason to celebrate â Tormented Souls 2 will officially release on October 23, 2025, just in time for Halloween. The sequel is set to launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam, the Epic Games Store, and GOG. Announced alongside the "A New Nightmare" gameplay trailer, the game promises a return to chilling exploration, fixed-camera tension, and intricate puzzles reminiscent of survival horror classics. Developer Dual Effect and publisher PQube have hinted at deeper storylines, improved controls, and even more unsettling encounters that build on the atmosphere that made the first Tormented Souls a cult favorite.
The original game gained praise for blending the eerie design of Resident Evil with the psychological edge of Silent Hill. With Tormented Souls 2, players can expect to step once again into Caroline Walker's nightmarish world â now rendered in even richer, more cinematic detail. Launching just before Halloween seems like a strategic choice, perfectly timed to tap into the season's love for scares. For those who played the demo, early impressions suggest a faithful evolution of the formula: classic survival mechanics paired with modern polish. This sequel looks set to reaffirm Tormented Souls as one of the standout indie horror series of the generation.
