In this week's gaming news, LevelCapGaming delves into the thrilling world of Stalker 2's colossal 1.2 update. The update, akin to a finely tuned sports car, brings a plethora of fixes and improvements, enhancing AI capabilities and weapon balance. Additionally, tweaks to the time of day system and lifted fog in specific areas hint at exciting future DLC prospects. Meanwhile, The Finals introduces a classic Team Deathmatch mode, injecting a dose of adrenaline into the competitive destruction FPS scene.
Overwatch 2, like a phoenix rising from the ashes, reintroduces loot boxes with transparent drop rates and a fresh perk system in its season 15 update. Unity and Crytek, however, face turbulent times with layoffs and strategic shifts in focus. Unity aims to streamline operations and boost revenue through mobile games and advertising tools, while Crytek suspends Crisis 4 to concentrate on supporting Hunt Showdown. On the brighter side, Alan Wake 2 shines as a profitable venture for Remedy, despite its exclusivity to the Epic Games Store.
As the gaming industry hurtles forward, Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 gears up for official mod support via Steam Workshop, promising players a gateway to endless customization. Exorborn's tactical extraction shooter impresses with dynamic weather mechanics, offering a unique gameplay experience. Diablo 4's next expansion faces delays, while Sony celebrates record-breaking sales of 9.5 million PlayStation 5 units during the holiday season. Elden Ring's Night Rain expansion teases players with DLC content, and Nvidia's RTX 570 emerges as an affordable GPU option, set to make waves in the gaming hardware landscape.
