New Gameplay Footage for ‘Thymesia’ Sees Its Dodging Mechanic in Action [Watch]

Published

Despite unfortunate delay announced last year for OverBorder Studio’s upcoming dark action RPG Thymesia, one can focus on the positives. Such as, it doesn’t have to compete with Elden Ring, and it gives the devs the time to polish the game.

To give fans an update on said development, OverBorder Studio has released a brief gameplay video focusing on Thymesia‘s dodge mechanics. “In Thymesia, the dodging mechanic is an integral part of Corvus’ apparatus,” explains the narrator. Indeed, having to “dance” with your enemy to create openings for attack is necessary for any Soulslike, and here it’s no exception.

The video also touches on the game’s ability tree that allows you to upgrade your dodging, allowing you to dodge repeatedly, as well as go on offence. Best of all, you can time your dodge to allow you to land critical strikes on your opponent, which will no doubt help in a game that presumably will be unforgiving in its difficulty.

Thymesia tells the story of a kingdom that discovers there’s a price to pay for dabbling in alchemy. The resulting attempt to stop its use has resulted in the kingdom being swarmed with monsters. It’s up to the game’s protagonist, Corvus, to stop the monsters, as well as reclaim his memory in the process.

Thymesia is currently in development for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series as well as Steam.

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

Published

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.
