‘Siren’ Celebrates Its Tenth Anniversary With a Manga Adaptation

Published

The fantastic survival horror game Siren sees its tenth anniversary — in North America, at least — and what better way to celebrate something like that than with a manga adaptation? All right, another Siren game would be substantially more exciting, but when it comes to this hugely underrated series, I’ll take what I can get. The manga, titled The Call of the Red Sea, will be illustrated by Wataru Kamio, with a story by Keiichiro Toyama and Naoko Sato.

The manga will arrive later this year in the manga magazine Shin Mimibukuro Atmos.

‘Dying Light 2’ Receives New Difficulty Mode and More With “Nightmare Mode” Update [Trailer]

Published

on

Not to be outdone by Dead Island 2‘s recent expansion, Techland has announced that Dying Light 2 is getting an update of it’s own with the much-requested Nightmare Mode, which adds “the hardest and most immersive difficulty yet” to the game, along with an array of additional elements.

Nightmare Mode for Dying Light 2 forces players to rely on tactics and strategic management of resources in order to survive. The new difficulty introduces changes to stamina management, called the Tactical Stamina system, limited HUD options for better immersion, and a flickering flashlight that goes out when used for too long. These and other additions aim to heighten the atmosphere give the overall experience a needed refresh for veteran players. Those who manage to complete the game on this highest difficulty will be rewarded with the memorable Waltz Outfit.

The Nightmare Mode Update adds more than just the new difficulty. New adjustments to the Infected and night experience are also part of the update. What’s more, co-op players will be glad to hear they will now be able to take on the Community Maps with up to three friends. Archers will get reworked power shot mechanics. And you even have the opportunity to change the appearance of the Grappling Hook.

Dying Light 2 is available for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series, Xbox One, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.
