Hogwarts Legacy

Hogwarts Legacy was always going to be a huge success, but we’d forgive you if you would be shocked to hear just how well it’s sold. Since before launch, the game has been rife with controversy, but that didn’t stop it from becoming a huge success, brandishing itself as a fantastic reentry to the space after not releasing anything since 2017.

As reported on LinkedIn by Warner Bros. Games’ senior brand and marketing manager, Arien Darby, the Wizarding World adventure achieved “256% to plan sell-thru at launch.” This is to say that it went above and beyond initial goals. The game also surpassed over 12 million units sold in a mere two weeks. It’s even already beaten FromSoftware’s award-winning Elden Ring in sales.

To top it all off, though, Hogwarts Legacy broke concurrent viewer records for a single game on Twitch, drawing in a whopping 1.3 million viewers watching someone else play the title. well beyond its sales goals

More Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath Gameplay To Come

Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath

It appears NetherRealm Studios has heard your call. It’s been a while since Mortal Kombat 11 launched back in March 2019. With time comes DLC and with new fighters out to purchase, they’re going a step further with a story expansion. Their latest DLC, Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath, may have gameplay releasing next week.

On Twitter, fans have been craving a bit more gameplay for this revealed DLC, which is going to add more story, playable characters, and skins. With so many seeking any gameplay they can, it’d be foolish of NetherRealm to leave everyone high and dry. Doubly so with the release so close.

Aftermath puts you in the shoes of Liu Kang as he brings together foes and allies to save both worlds. This DLC is going to tack on three new playable characters: Sheeva, Fujin, and RoboCop. 

Is there anything for non-Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath players?

Have you been missing those classic stage fatalities? Those bizarre Friendships? NetherRealm hasn’t forgotten about its existing MK base. Alongside the DLC coming out May 28, a new content update is looking to add the cutesy friendships back into the franchise – you know, in case you’re bored of ripping your opponent limb from limb and showing them their spinal cord. The inclusion of classic stages is also going to be dropped in for those wanting a taste of the good old days.

Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath Kollection can be pre-ordered right now for $59.99. This purchase comes packed with all the current DLC fighters and content. Needless to say, it’s soured some who already got onboard the MK11 train before this deal. If you already have the game, you can pre-order just the DLC for $39.99 or the Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath + Kombat Pack Bundle for $49.99.

Which are you picking? Do you plan on making a return?

Warner Bros. To Distribute The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt In The US

Ben-Dutka 2 Comments

It's always good news when a great developer finds a solid, influential publisher.

CD Projekt Red has announced that Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment will distribute The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt in North America. The game is currently in the works for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.

CD Projekt Red president Adam Kicinski said the launch of the anticipated RPG is "the most important event" in the team's history, and he also called Warner Bros. an "extremely valuable partner." Kicinski called the US market "crucial" to success, which is probably true these days; remember when it was pretty much all about Japan? My, how times have changed. Anyway, this announcement may not come as any huge surprise, as WBIE also published The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Enhanced Edition in the North American region.

We don't know about any PS4-specific features just yet, but we know the Xbox One version of Wild Hunt will boast SmartGlass support for inventory management and character development. Not sure how that will work out but personally, I don't really care. Just let me play the game.
