Getting Hisuian Arcanine is the same as evolving Growlithe has always been, and while much has changed in Sinnoh’s ancient past, business always stays the same. Where to find Growlithe in Pokemon Legends Arceus? Hisuian Growlithe live in the Cobalt Coastlands region. It’s the third area you’ll venture into, following your time in the Crimson Mirelands and Obsidian Fieldlands. Despite being a coastal region with plenty of water Pokemon, you’ll find Hisuian Growlithe wandering along Veilstone Cape, north of Castaway Shore and just before you reach Lunker’s Lair....

Pokemon Sword and Shield’s expansion pass has a little something for everyone thanks to new storylines and new areas to explore, but make no mistake - in many ways the changes and additions of the two new DLC chapters are squarely focused on the hardcore Pokemon players - giving those who have already conquered the Galar region even more to do in the end-game. The first DLC took players to the Isle of Armor and focused on battle and training feature upgrades and additions - but this month’s new DLC, The Crown Tundra, is more focused on exploration and adventure - including the chance to finally catch a bunch of rare Pokemon not previously found in the Galar region....

In a Mini Direct today, Nintendo announced additional details and a more solid release window for Part One of the Pokemon Sword and Shield Expansion Pass.

“Recently, we notified players that PlayStation Store for PS3 and PS Vita devices was planned to end this summer,” writes president and CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment, Jim Ryan. “Upon further reflection, however, it’s clear that we made the wrong decision here.

Firmware update 7.50, which Sony has been beta testing for a little over a month, has today been released for all PS4 owners. Although it did require public testing, the new update doesn’t actually bring any major new features. The same patch note shared at the beginning of testing is the one we have today, and as usual, it’s the cryptic “this software update improves system performance.” That said, a number of users have since reported some major problems with 7....

The PlayStation’s 5 DualSense controller will make using weapons in IO Interactive’s Hitman 3 even more immersive. In a post on the PlayStation Blog, the studio’s communications manager Travis Barbour wrote that the new adaptive triggers on Sony’s new gamepad will make it feel that players are actually firing a weapon. IO has also tweaked haptic feedback for each gun in the game, too. “All of the guns in the game will support adaptive triggers and you’ll feel an authentic sensation with each shot you fire,” Barbour wrote....

The developer announced the postponed release window for Kena: Bridge of Spirits overnight. “This year has brought many challenges and our transition to working from home has caused development to move slower than we hoped,” reads the statement on Twitter. “For this reason, we have made the difficult decision to delay the release of Kena: Bridge of Spirits to Q1, 2021. We have not made this decision lightly, but feel it is best for the game and well-being of the team....

According to a new Bloomberg report, Sony is planning to launch its next-generation VR headset, PSVR 2, sometime over the holiday period next year. The report, which isn’t actually about PlayStation VR specifically, also revealed that the headset will be using OLED panels. This is the same type of panel used in the original PSVR, but more and more manufacturers are moving to LCD instead. While lacking the colour accuracy of OLED, LCD panels are cheaper, and offer better picture quality at higher refresh rates - something essential for VR headset....

Over on the official Xbox Game Pass Twitter account, a new image has been posted that appears to suggest Ubisoft’s tactical shooter will be added to the service soon.

A countdown timer that has been posted to the studio’s Twitch page (embedded below) will expire today at 10am PST / 1pm ET / 6pm BST. If you look at the Twitch stream, you’ll see an eagle’s-eye view of Italy which is occasionally interrupted with wartime-era footage of the era. Given that Italy was one of the major European forces in World War 2 and a significant theatre of war in its own right, and given the company’s penchant for RTS games set during the global conflict, it’s not a stretch to assume we’re going to get an announcement related to the esteemed Company of Heroes series....

Eventually.

This is a classic style of puzzle in the modern Resident Evil series, but one that’s easy to lose track of. Here’s how to open the Prioress Door in Resident Evil Village. Resident Evil Village Prioress Door - What to do with the Maroon Eye Ring When you first entered the castle and had your first up-close-and-personal encounter with the Lady of the house, you found yourself strung up in an opulent sitting room....

These further out additions haven’t got any date attributed to them yet, instead being tinkered with in the background.
