🎮 Multi-platformThis Co-Op Anime Adventure Couldn't Have Been Anything Else, Says Orbitals Team
Orbitals(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/orbitals-doesnt-just-capture-the-retro-anime-look-but-its-childlike-wonder-as-well/1100-6539564/), an endeavor several years in the making for developer Shapefarm and publisher Kepler Interactive, bills itself as an anime you can play(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/this-switch-2-exclusive-co-op-game-is-a-retro-anime-you-can-play/1100-6536924/). Set 15 years after a storm shut off their settlement from the world, the co-op only adventure follows Maki and Omura--who have been best friends since childhood--as they set off into space on a journey to save their people. When game director Jakob Lundgren first joined forces with creative director Marcos Ramos on Orbitals, their team consisted of just six people. Now, that number has grown to about 50, and the game looks much different from how it originally began. "It was top-down, and it had these little robots running around doing menial tasks around the ship," Ramos explains. "Then, at some point, I said, 'This is cool, but what if anime?' And that little robot became Maki." Everyone on the team connected with her right away, which showed they were heading in the right direction.

🎮 Multi-platformOrbitals Doesn't Just Capture The Retro Anime Look, But Its Childlike Wonder As Well
With its anime art style and high-energy soundtrack, Orbitals(https://www.gamespot.com/games/orbitals/) immediately made a splash when it was announced during last year's Game Awards(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/this-switch-2-exclusive-co-op-game-is-a-retro-anime-you-can-play/1100-6536924/). Developed by Shapefarm and published by Kepler Interactive--the publisher behind Clair Obscur: Expedition 33(https://www.gamespot.com/games/clair-obscur-expedition-33/)--the co-op platformer adventure game aims to authentically capture the anime feeling via a collaboration with Studio Massket. The Japanese animation studio, known for its work on shows like Attack on Titan, has partnered with developers to craft all of Orbitals' cutscenes, and, after spending about an hour with the title, I can confirm it very much feels like an anime you can play. After the team's work on Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker and Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time, Orbitals was born out of a desire to continue crafting games with anime characters in amazing worlds, but with an original intellectual property. The co-op-only gameplay style has become an increasingly prominent genre following the success of games like Hazelight Studios' It Takes Two(https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/it-takes-two-review/1900-6417655/) and Split Fiction(https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/split-fiction-review-it-takes-pew-pew/1900-6418341/)--a fact that Orbitals game director Jakob Lungdren, a former level designer for Hazelight Studios, is keenly aware of. With this combined history as a development team, the path to Orbitals was inevitable. Orbitals is driven by two pillars: retro anime(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/this-game-looks-like-if-split-fiction-were-an-80s-anime-and-were-obsessed/1100-6537949/) and co-op play. Ahead of our hands-on session, creative director Marcos Ramos joked, "Other games have three pillars, we have two--more efficient." There are many facets that make up both pillars, however. Orbitals aims to encapsulate not just the look and storytelling of retro anime, but also the feeling of sitting at home watching it as a child. And its co-op gameplay is designed to test communication and coordination while creating fun, emergent moments with asymmetrical game design.

🎮 Multi-platformContent Creator Completes Record-Breaking Charity Stream, But Viewers Still Find Something To Complain About
Content creator CDawgVA(https://www.youtube.com/@CDawgVA/) has completed his fifth annual Cyclethon event, raising almost $1.5 million for the Immune Deficiency Foundation. Somehow, beyond comprehension, people have still found a way to complain about this achievement. The Cyclethon is a charity streaming event which CDawgVA began in 2022 to support VTuber, and close friend, Ironmouse(https://www.twitch.tv/ironmouse). Ironmouse has made public her struggles and experiences of living with Common Variable Immune Deficiency (CVID), and often works with CDawg, also known as Connor, to raise money for the Immune Deficiency Foundation so that the charity can support others with the condition. Cyclethon 5 started in Ōma Town in Aomori Prefecture, the northernmost point of Honshu, and finished in Osaka, with Connor and friends cycling 1,300 kilometers over two weeks. Connor was joined by friends and fellow content creators including Abroad in Japan(https://www.youtube.com/@AbroadinJapan), PewDiePie(https://www.youtube.com/@PewDiePie), Robcdee(https://www.youtube.com/@Robcdee), Gigguk(https://www.youtube.com/@gigguk), PremierTwo(https://www.youtube.com/@PremierTwo), and Ironmouse herself.

🎮 Multi-platformCrimson Desert’s Biggest Update Yet Completely Reworks How You Play
A new Crimson Desert(https://www.gamespot.com/games/crimson-desert/) update has gone live, with patch 1.04 revealing some major additions to the game. Overall, players can expect new game difficulty settings, new pets and storage items, new skills, and much more. Developer Pearl Abyss had previously released a patch that added summonable mounts to the game, but this update is the largest one to date and introduces some sweeping changes to the Crimson Desert experience. Difficulty options have been one of the biggest requests from the Crimson Desert community, and when players log in, they'll have the option to choose from the typical Easy/Normal/Hard modes found in most games. On Easy difficulty, damage to players is reduced, enemies have reduced health and aggression, timing windows for parrying and dodging have been increased, the frequency of bosses attempting to counterattack or escape when hit has also been lowered. Normal difficulty is the baseline mode that players have been experiencing to date, while the Hard difficulty setting ramps up the challenge considerably. Players looking to test their skills will find that they take more damage, enemies hit harder, and certain bosses benefit from having new combat patterns. Another notable addition in the update is the Sturdy Gatherables Chest, which has 1,000 slots and can be set up with the housing system. A boss rematch mode is also in the works, and it'll be introduced in a later update.

🎮 Multi-platformWorld Of Warcraft's Latest Patch Is One Giant List Of Bugs And Issues, And Players Are Fed Up
World of Warcraft(https://www.gamespot.com/games/world-of-warcraft/): Midnight's major 12.0.5 update recently launched in a dire state, leading for many in the MMORPG's community to actually agree on something for once--Blizzard's process needs to change. Patch 12.0.5 should have been a homerun. The game's Midnight expansion has been well received by players and critics, and the 12.0.5 update looked like it would continue to build on that success with new solo activities, a fun prop hunt mode, bonus loot rolls with bad luck protection baked in, and more. Unfortunately, after the update went live on April 21 following an extended server maintenance period, it quickly became clear all was not well. Blizzard swiftly notified players that they may experience lag or lose connection to the game's servers due to "technical issues."
