Their arsenel include a sawed off shotgun, goalie masks, decoys, and armor plating. The update also introduces nighttime modes, map dynamics, new shelter features, improvements to daily challenges and encounters, and much more.

Also new in the update is the Anguished Forest area and the Phantom Abyss Dungeon. The update will hit November 18th and will include a 14-day login event, bonus experience during prime time, and more.

2:04 ArcheAge & ArcheAge: Unchained – Rise of Nehliya

If you’ve been wanting a little more Mad Max styled content, ArcheAge has you covered with its new major update, the Rise of Nehliya.  It introduces the new open area, Mysthrane Gorge, where you can race down in vehicles and attack giant armored beasts. There’s also new raids including Nehliya, Queen of Annihilation, who definitely does not look like she wants to be messed with. Add in a new farmhand system, nine new main story quests, and more and you’ve got a lot to experience.

2:35 Neverwinter: Milestone 4 & Epic Games Store Launch

And Neverwinter has reached its final milestone in the Redeemed Citadel campaign. Players can finally create characters as the Aasimar race, which offers a minor boost to health, healing, and damage dealt along with bonus ability scores. Also unlocked is the Forge, where hunt and divine armor can be crafted. With this Neverwinter has also launched on the Epic Games Store, if you prefer to game there.

3:01 Epic Games Store Free Games

Speaking of the Epic Games Store, let’s finally get to it and wrap it up with this week’s free game: The Textorcist. If you’re still vibing with Halloween, or enjoy typing games and bullet hells, this freebie is probably for you. You play as an exorcist and must type exorcisms while dodging bullets, all while trying to save Rome. Pretty crazy but hey it’s free until next week that is. No lie, I got a new gaming keyboard this past week, and this could probably be a good gaming way to break it in.

But with that said, that’s about it for all the major news and announcements for this week. Be sure to stay safe, and keep your families healthy!
