‘Returnal’ the Big BAFTA Games Winner, Earns Best Game

Published

on

Housemarque’s sci-fi shooter Returnal scored big at this year’s BAFTA Games Awards, winning the coveted Best Game award, as well snagging awards in three other categories. Genre titles in Devolver Digital’s Inscryption and Double Fine’s Psychonauts 2 also snagged awards.

Riding the momentum of its recently-released Ascension update, Returnal took home the BAFTA in the Audio Achievement and Music categories, as well as the award for Performer in a Leading Role category for Jane Perry’s performance as Returnal‘s protagonist Selene Vassos. Meanwhile, Inscryption took home the award for Game Design, and Psychonauts 2 beat out Resident Evil Village for the Performer in a Supporting Role BAFTA with Kimberly Brooks’ performance as Hollis Forsythe.

Sadly for Village, Capcom’s latest entry in the Resident Evil franchise went home empty-handed, along with Turtle Rock Studio’s Back 4 Blood. Surprisingly, Bethesda’s Death Loop, which had been cleaning up awards shows, also went home empty-handed.

You can hit up the official BAFTA Games site for the complete list of categories and winners.

Returnal is currently available on the PlayStation 5, with the Ascension update having been released last month.

New “Splendor” Tome Available Now for ‘Dead by Daylight’ [Trailer]

Published

on

Dead by Daylight fans have another Tome launch today in Tome 19: SPLENDOR, bringing with it a new content update, the game’s next Modifier, a new Tome packed with unlockable rewards, and a major update to the in-game store. Accompanying the update will be several Outfit Collections, which will be arriving over the next couple of weeks.

After giving fans a taste of what’s to come with the time-limited Lights Out Modifier, Behaviour Interactive has introduced a new one with Chaos Shuffle, offering a completely different challenge. In the Chaos Shuffle Modifier, players will be jumping into Trials with randomly selected Perks from all of Dead by Daylight’s available Perks. However, instead of relying on tactics they’ve grown accustomed to, players will now have to contend and strategize with the Perks they’re dealt at the beginning of the match. Chaos Shuffle will be out soon.

Along with the new Modifier is the new Event Tome with SPLENDOR, packed with new challenges, memories, and classy rewards to Dead by Daylight, inspired by all things gold and silk. Players will unlock memories that offer a glimpse into The Artist and Zarina Kassir’s past, with new outfits for The Trickster, Nea Karlsson, Mikaela Reid, The Skull Merchant, and many more characters across the Free and Premium Tracks. Players who purchase the Rift Pass instantly unlock a gold-adorned Outfit for The Trapper, and those who complete the track are rewarded with a brutal Ultra Rare Outfit for The Doctor.

As for the in-game store, with over 30 Chapters packed with content and outfits for our numerous Survivors and Killers, the in-game store has been given a complete visual overhaul. The new interface allow players to easily find items that are on sale, cosmetics from a specific collection, as well as purchase bundles that contain multiple items at a discounted price.

Finally, there are the new Outfit Collections that are coming to Dead by Daylight in the coming weeks.

  • The Forgotten Myth Collection brings a horrifying Visceral Legendary Outfit for The Huntress, complete with its own unique Mori.
  • Metamorphosis manifests in different ways. The returning Chrysalis Collection reimagines both Killer and Survivor with butterfly or moth-inspired looks.
  • The return of the Visions of the Future Collection offers new futuristic looks for several Survivors.
  • A new addition to the Nicolas Cage Essentials Collection proves the actor needs no stylist to look cool.
  • The Forgotten Garden Collection spreads botanical brutality to two Killers.
  • The Cats & Dogs Collection brings more cozy sweaters to the game inspired by our furry friends.

Dead by Daylight is available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.
