Genshin Impact Version 5.1 arriving October 9th

Singapore, September 27, 2024 – HoYoverse announced the upcoming release of Genshin Impact Version 5.1, titled “The Rainbow Destined to Burn,” on October 9th today. The main story will continue in the new region of Natlan, where Xilonen will join as a master forger and a dependable ally in combat and exploration. Meanwhile, Sumeru will celebrate the return of the Sabzeruz Festival, filled with joy, festivities, and a special birthday surprise for Nahida.
 
Check out Genshin Impact Version 5.1 trailer here:
https://youtu.be/yJ-tllvBvmI
 
Following the last Archon Quest, Natlan is in urgent need of assistance to save herself from destruction and the looming threat of the Abyss. While players and Xilonen work together to forge an Ancient Name for the Traveler, Citlali, a member of the Masters of the Night-Wind, will finally appear to lend a hand. Meanwhile, her fellow tribe member, Ororon, is devising a secret plan. Players’ efforts to rescue Natlan will be rewarded, as they can claim an additional 500 Primogems by completing the two new acts of the Archon Quest in Version 5.1. Additionally, up to 400 Primogems can be obtained by completing specific World Quests and gaining Natlan Exploration Progress.
 
Xilonen, renowned for crafting legendary items like the Pyro Archon’s sunglasses, is not only a talented smith but also an agile and reliable warrior. Unlike traditional climbers, this five-star Geo Sword wielder can skate effortlessly and execute agile leaps along cliff walls. In combat, Xilonen demonstrates versatile support skills by reducing enemies’ Elemental RES or healing her teammates, thanks to her unique combat equipment: Samplers. All three Samplers initially record Geo Source Samples, which Xilonen can instantly activate using her Elemental Skill to reduce enemies’ Geo Elemental RES while enhancing her Normal and Plunging Attack DMG. When she teams up with Hydro, Pyro, Cryo, or Electro characters, the Source Samples will undergo Elemental Conversion and change colors, but they can only be activated after maxing out her Nightsoul Points through Normal Attacks, allowing her to reduce the corresponding Elemental RES of enemies. If at least two Source Samples change color, Xilonen can activate them more rapidly, shifting her Elemental Burst from dealing Geo AoE DMG to healing nearby active teammates. Additionally, she can help the team regain a certain amount of Phlogiston by triggering a Nightsoul Transmission.
 
In the Version 5.1 Event Wishes, Xilonen will feature in the first half alongside the rerun of Chiori, while the second half brings back Nahida and Hu Tao. As more allies join the team, Natlan introduces a new Enemy Boss: the “Secret Source Constructor,” an ancient construction machine with a lethal nature that awaits challengers in a long-forgotten cave.
 
Back in Sumeru, the streets come alive with joyful rhythms during the Sabzeruz Festival, honoring the birthday of Lesser Lord Kusanali. This year, players will reunite with Dehya, Tighnari, and Collei to prepare a heartwarming birthday surprise for Nahida, taking on the special role of Knight of Flowers to escort her carriage through the festival parade. In Port Ormos, the festivities feature a series of mini-games, including “Rocking Carriage,” where players control a carriage to collect flowers and dodge obstacles; “Interreflection of Reality and Dreams,” which challenges players to spot anomalies in the dream world; and a combat challenge where participants fight as the Knight of Flowers. By earning enough Festive Fervor through these activities, players can claim various rewards, including a chance to recruit Candace for free.
 
Version 5.1 also introduces several quality-of-life improvements for the Spiral Abyss, character ascension, Artifacts, and Echo Cosmetics. In the Spiral Abyss, a new skip feature allows players to bypass Floor 9 if they achieved full stars on Floor 11 in the previous update. Similarly, players who completed Floor 12 with full stars can skip both Floors 9 and 10. Character ascension has become more intuitive, with inventory updates displaying the quantities of craftable materials. A new formula filter at the Crafting Bench will also simplify crafting management. Additionally, in the character Artifact interface, Artifact Set filters and affix sorting preferences for individual slots will now be saved, eliminating the need to reset them after each session. Lastly, Zhongli and Keqing’s Echoes can now be obtained by completing new Envisaged Echoes challenges introduced in the latest update.
 
Genshin Impact Version 5.1 will be arriving on October 9. With cross-progression and Co-Op functions, players can enjoy their adventure across PlayStation®, PC, Android, and iOS. The game has been rated T for Teen by ESRB on PS5, PS4, PC, and Google Play, and 12+ on iOS. For more information, please visit the official website (genshin.hoyoverse.com) or follow @GenshinImpact on X, Instagram, and Facebook.

Devolver Digital’s The Crush House Premieres Today on Steam

Acclaimed video game developers Nerial (Reigns) and TV owners Devolver Digital are rolling back the years for the long-awaited launch of 1999’s hottest reality TV show, The Crush House. Available now on Steam for $16.99, The Crush House casts players in the role of Jae, the newest camerawoman tasked with giving the people what they want: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2337820/The_Crush_House/

Jae may have just scored the gig of her dreams, but the demands are high and the stakes are even higher. She must cast, film and produce each season of The Crush House, capturing all the drama, fighting, tension and romance in the show’s iconic mansion.

Trailer: https://youtu.be/ptoBACU80WY

But remember: no matter what, the demands of your audience must be met. If not, you run the risk of cancellation. With dozens of micro-audiences to entertain, you’ll have to be strategic to capture them all. You can’t please all the people all of the time, but you’ll have to try.

Choose between 12 eccentric personalities and find your four-person cast for each season’s run. Mix and match conflicting personalities or complementary attractions and watch as tensions run and sparks fly. Catch the best stuff on camera and watch your ratings soar.

Entertainment this good isn’t free, however, so remember to put down the camera and pull up some tasteful TV ads to keep the cash flowing in. You might lose a few viewers, but you can use the extra revenue generated to furnish the house and mix things up for both the audience and the cast.

As if running a hit TV show wasn’t enough, there’s more to The Crush House than meets the eye. Jae can explore the mansion at night when the show goes off-air, engaging in forbidden conversations with the cast to figure out the many dark and twisted secrets of The Crush House.

Do you have what it takes to crush it?

Spiral releasing on Steam and Xbox on September 20th, 2024

Folklore Games announced their narrative-adventure game, Spiral, will arrive on Steam and Epic for a PC Release + Xbox for console, as a self-published title. Taking players on an emotional journey, this is a story that offers a unique perspective on cognitive degeneration, told by the individual experiencing it.

Release Date Trailer – Spiral – September 2024

Spiral puts players in the shoes of Bernard Penfield, an introverted writer who is coming to the end of his journey but invites you to go back to the beginning and help him re-experience his memories one last time. Exploring the memories of Bernard at different phases in his life, players will also meet a cast of diverse characters in his family and friends who guide him through life’s biggest moments. While the cognitive degeneration will gradually become more present within the story, exploring his memories thoroughly may help Bernard to hold onto details longer and share things that might otherwise be lost forever.

“We’re so proud of Spiral; events and interactions with people made us understand the why behind our project even more. It has been helping people to talk about their grief, opening a discussion and bringing people to see the person behind the sickness. Spiral will hopefully be that window where people can share their own story with cognitive degeneration and make us all more aware of the loneliness of it all and how much our presence can help.” – Mikhael, Creative Director

Releasing on Steam at $23.99 USD, Spiral will be available for purchase at 10 AM EST on September 20th, 2024. In the meantime, gamers can also pick up the free demo and add it to their wishlist.
