"Season 2020 starts in League of Legends on January 10"

Developers from Riot Games announced that the 2020 season will start in League of Legends on January 10th. On the poster, which was published yesterday, you can see the chains and the silhouette of a champion named Urgot, as well as the inscription "In 5 days we will break them."
In the new season, players will have a slightly changed rank system. Like last season, after the first qualifying game you will receive a preliminary rank. Until the end of the qualification, only you will see this rank. During qualification you will not lose LP. After eight qualifying games, you will receive an initial rank.
Also on January 8, patch 10.1 will be released on the League of Legends main servers, the main innovation of which will be the champion Sett. He started in the arena in Navori as a simple fighter, but quickly became famous and, having made his way to the very top, took the fighting pit he had fought before. Also, the update will add several new skins to the game and make changes to the balance.

"Enthusiasts transferred the map from GTA: Vice City to the Grand Theft Auto V engine"

After four years of development, a team of enthusiasts finally released version 1.0 of their modification of Vice Cry: Remastered, which transfers the map from Grand Theft Auto: Vice City to the Grand Theft Auto V engine.
The authors of the modification completely recreated all roads and buildings, and also presented completely new models, textures, reflections, and even working traffic lights. In addition, in Vice Cry: Remastered you can find a car generator, custom scripts and much more.
Unfortunately, the main drawback of the modification was the lack of missions from the original game, although the authors recreated some plot scenes in the release trailer.

"The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Tops Steam Charts"

In recent weeks, Red Dead Redemption 2 has led the rating, but it seems that the Netflix Witcher’s popularity has helped the CD Projekt RED project bypass Rockstar Western.
After the Polish RPG, there are two Rockstar hits - Red Dead Redemption 2 and Grand Theft Auto V.
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order continues to be in the top five, but Halo: The Master Chief Collection has lost several positions, ending up at the very end of the chart.

"In Yakuza: Like a Dragon, Kiryu Kazuma will have four battle styles"

A little more than a week is left before the Japanese release of Yakuza: Like a Dragon, and SEGA decided to talk more about the legendary gangsters who will return to the game from the previous parts of the series. This is Goro Majima, his named brother Taiga Saejima, as well as former protagonist Kiryu Kazuma.
For reasons unknown so far, they will all be fighting adversaries of Itiban Kasuga and his friends. Defeating them will not be so easy, because everyone has their own special fighting style. And it will be easier to resist the legendary yakuza to those who already know what they are capable of.
Taega Saejima, nicknamed "18 rounds," is the former head of the Saejima family. He spent 25 years in prison, and this time he spent on increasing his military power. Taiga hits infrequently and not quickly, but his every blow can knock down the bull’s feet, and smaller opponents fly away altogether. Goro Majima, once known as the “Lord of the Night,” later became known as “Crazy Dog Shimano”. He is extremely cruel and incredibly dangerous, primarily due to his unpredictability. This also manifests itself in battle: Goro quickly attacks with both a blade and legs, and is able to paralyze the enemy.
When the named brothers fight together, under certain conditions Goro and Taiga make a joint and extremely dangerous attack by Goujin Gousatsu, the “Killing Blade”. She cannot be avoided or evaded.
The fourth chairman of the Tojo clan, Kiryu Kazuma, nicknamed the “Dragon of the Dojima”, was declared dead in 2016. This, as we see, did not bother him. Kiryu is Kasuga's most dangerous opponent. In battle, he uses four styles, switching between them. If you do not take into account the current style, it is easy to run into a response attack.
Brawler is a common fighting style with simple kicks and kicks.
Rush is a style characterized by quick attacks and clever dodges. Some style skills can disable an adversary.
Breaker - a powerful style with sweeping attacks and the use of heavy weapons and improvised items.
"The Dragon of Dojima" is the quintessence of Kazuma's abilities. By switching to it, Kiryu can use secret techniques such as parry, reflection, and Tiger Cast.
Japanese players will be able to return to Kamurotyo on January 16th. Yakuza: Like a Dragon's western release date has not yet been announced.

"Jetpacks will not return to the new Call of Duty, confirmed designer Treyarch"

Treyarch veteran David Vanderhar has confirmed that jetpacks will not return in the new Call of Duty, despite requests from some fans of the franchise. Their inclusion, they believe, can help "revive the series."
The studio designer recalled that just a couple of years ago, the players almost fought with the developers of Call of Duty, "tired" of jetpacks.

"You have such a short memory. You were ready to hang me from the highest tree. No. NO. I have post-traumatic stress."
David Vanderhar

When the news began to spread through the news portals, Vanderhar questioned his words. However, given the rumors
about the Vietnam setting of the 50s and 70s, it is unlikely that there will have to fly on knapsacks.
This year Call of Duty awaits us immediately from three studios: Treyarch leads the development of the entire project, while Sledgehammer and Raven are working on a storyline campaign.
This, according to Kotaku, was due to disagreements between the last two studios, so the project had to be entrusted to Treyarch, although initially its new game was to be released only in 2021. It is possible that the novelty is the restart of Black Ops.
The shooter release is expected in the fall both on the current generation consoles and on the new Sony and Microsoft platforms.

"Kentucky Route Zero Hints Finale Is Near"

The first episode of Kentucky Route Zero's phantasmagoric adventure came out in February 2013, and the journey has not yet been completed. The developers intended to release the final episode a couple of years after the release, then these plans moved to 2018 and were successfully forgotten.
Now, Cardboard Computer seems ready to name the final release date for the fifth episode of Kentucky Route Zero. And the hotline 1-858-WHEN-KRZ hints at this. Those who call her hear a recorded message.

"Current Status: Kentucky Route Zero is getting ready. More details will be available soon. If you want, you can wait with us. Stay on the line, please."
1-858-WHEN-KRZ

After a pause, the answering machine reports the waiting time. And, if you translate the minutes into hours and days, everything indicates that the long-awaited event will occur on the evening of January 7, almost seven years after the first episode.
After the announcement of the waiting time, the phone informs that no one remembers what it is waiting for, and the updated time is repeated several more times.

"Lost Soul Aside plan to release before the end of the year"

Young enthusiast Yang Bin announced that he plans to release Lost Soul Aside before the end of 2020.
Recall that the project was born almost by accident: the developer published on YouTube a small gameplay fragment that struck the gaming community - the game looked like an expensive title from a large studio, but then the author worked on it alone.
After Lost Soul Aside, Sony spotted it, including it in the China Hero Project to support Chinese enthusiasts to help with the production and release of games. Binh then founded the Ultizero Games studio, which now employs 14 people.
The project itself is inspired by the visual component of Final Fantasy XV and canceled Final Fantasy Versus XIII, and the gameplay resembles Devil May Cry and Ninja Gaiden.
