Valve has released a patch for its-still-in-works hero-shooter Deadlock, which includes a rather brilliant anti-cheat measure.
The new patch notes cover a pretty extensive list of tweaks and adjustments, as well as the introduction of a new hero called Mirage. But, the highlight by far is that aforementioned anti-cheat measure.

UPDATE 11/09/24: Epic Games has confirmed cross-play across all PC storefronts is a requirement of its games store for all multiplayer games.
A statement shared with Eurogamer from an Epic Games spokesperson reads: “Cross-play across all PC storefronts is a requirement of the Epic Games Store for all multiplayer games, ensuring that players and friends can play together wherever they purchase their games. Developers are free to choose any solutions that meet this requirement, including Epic Online Services, which may require a secondary installation to enable the Social Overlay (friends lists, cross-platform invites, etc) on PC.”

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater producer Noriaki Okamura has stated the development team would “rather come down on the side of ‘too faithful'” than make big changes compared to the original game.
During previews for the Snake Eater remake, a frequent criticism was the game felt outdated compared to modern stealth games and too few changes were made compared to the PS2 original.
However, in a new “Production Hotline” video, Okamura explained the thought process behind maintaining the original vision of the game.

Read more Netflix has released a new trailer for the second season of Arcane. Season two of the acclaimed animated League of Legends spin-off is set to release later this year, and will conclude the series (something that is deeply disappointing).
That said, if this trailer is anything to go by, it sure seems like the show is going out with a bang. With explosions, dialogue such as “I want to tear that laugh from her throat forever” and a backing track that is sure to leave you feeling pumped up for the afternoon ahead, this trailer has nicely whetted appetites for the upcoming season. It focuses on Jinx, Vi and Caitlyn’s rivalry, although there is a distinct lack of Jayce and Viktor. We also get a proper glimpse of Singed and a bit more of Warwick.

Later in the conversation, Junior said the Dune: Awakening team would “be able to do it”, and work was progressing.

Read more Amazon Prime Gaming is offering members the chance to scoop up three games set in Lord of the Rings’ Middle-earth at no additional cost.
This latest promotion is all to celebrate the second season premiere of The Rings of Power on Amazon, which starts on 29th August.
The three games are:
Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor Game of the Year Edition
Lego The Lord of the Rings, via GOG code

I am quite fond of the Lego games, so would recommend giving that a go if you haven’t yet. Also, unlike the Lego Hobbit games, the Lego Lord of the Rings includes the whole story.

Read more Development on the upcoming Tomb Raider game from Crystal Dynamics and Amazon is “going well”.
Amazon announced it would be working alongside Crystal Dynamics on the next Tomb Raider game back in 2022, when it said it would provide its “full support” to the team as it works on “the biggest, most expansive” series entry to date.
Since then, details have been pretty sparse for the upcoming release. In fact, all we really know right now is that it is being made in Unreal Engine 5 and will have “mind-bending puzzles to solve” and a “wide variety of enemies to face and overcome”.
