Rockstar has definitely been appearing in the news quite often lately due to several reasons. We told you about one of them in a previous article: the unavailability of Grand Theft Auto 4 on Valve’s platform. It’s not known at the moment if the title will be purchasable again in the future, but it’s not the only subject that is making people talk about the studio right now.

Indeed, for some time, many players have been wondering about the future of the Grand Theft Auto series. More precisely for five years now, since it was in 2015 when the head of Rockstar North, Leslie Benzies, confirmed that work on the next installment in the series had already started at that time. But for the last five years, the studio has not been very informative. At the same time, it must be said that with the release of GTA V on PC and the development of Red Dead Redemption II, the team has been quite busy.

That hasn’t stopped players from expecting news from the upcoming title in the Grand Theft Auto series. This expectation has caused the apparition of a host of rumors and alleged leaks, more or less credible, which have been accentuated in recent months. The hunt for clues is in full swing.

We will have to wait with Trevor until GTA VI comes

Precisely, new information comes to bring water to the visibly inexhaustible mill of rumors about GTA VI. TaxWatch UK, a British think tank that has revealed information concerning taxes and especially the aid received by Rockstar in 2019 has revealed that the studio has indeed requested more than £ 38 million in tax relief. Without going into boring details, this represents a colossal sum which, according to TaxWatch, could only be linked to the development of a game of a certain size: GTA VI.

This does not necessarily mean that we will see the game anytime soon, and with the new generation of consoles preparing, it is quite possible that the title will not see the light of day before at least the end of the year. However, this still indicates a significant production cost and that the development of the game must be at full speed.

Of course, while waiting for official info from Rockstar, it’s better to avoid getting too carried away, but who knows. Hopefully, GTA VI is on the right track. In the meantime, you can always find GTA V at the best price on our comparator.

There is no official confirmation from Naughty Dog, but we may see the launch of the highly anticipated The Last of Us Part II in PC. Initially, the game was supposed to be exclusive to PlayStation 4, but a recent job listing published in the developer’s website would point towards a PC release. According to the job offer, the developers of the Uncharted series and The Last of Us are looking for a graphics programmer who has experience with DirectX12, Vulkan or other modern graphics or compute APIs, and thorough understanding of current GPU architectures (AMD GCN, NVIDIA CUDA), to implement new and existing rendering techniques for The Last of Us Part II. Since PlayStation 4 doesn’t use those technologies we can only assume that the studio is working on a PC version of the game.

The Last of Us Part II is an action-adventure survival horror game and the sequel to one of the most popular games for PlayStation. It continues the story of Ellie in her conflict with a mysterious cult. The game takes place in a post-apocalyptic United States where a mutated version of the Cordyceps fungus has massively infected humans, turning them into cannibalistic and violent monsters. Ellie is immune to the infection and that has caused her a lot of trouble during the events in The Last of Us. In this new game, her story continues unfolding as she struggles to survive in such a perilous world.

The Last of Us Part II was announced in 2016 and its release on PlayStation 4 is scheduled for May 29, 2020. There has been a bit of speculation in the last few months about the game being launched on PlayStation 5, but Naughty Dog has always been adamant about its launch on PS4.

We don’t know if this possible PC release that we are talking about will be confirmed in the future, but it would mean that another of the classic PlayStation-only franchises will be available on other platforms. As we discussed in another article, Horizon Zero Dawn will probably be released on PC too this year, and all this may indicate a shift on Sony’s strategy for its exclusive title. We will have to wait for a bit longer until we know about all the truth behind this.

Released last July, Fire Emblem: Three Houses had raised a lot of expectations among fans of the series since its announcement in 2017. Although the game’s release was supposed to take place initially in 2018, that did not stop it from winning a great success with the players. A success partly based on the fact that Fire Emblem: Three Houses is the first episode of the series to be released on a home console since Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, released in 2008 on Wii.

It was announced before the release that Fire Emblem: Three Houses would be getting four waves of additional content. Players have already been able to get the first three, which include new outfits and items, among other things, and they will soon be able to get the fourth wave. During a live broadcast on Super Smash Bros. Ultimate which revealed the latest fighter in the Fighters Pass, who is none other than Byleth, we got some news regarding the latest DLC for Fire Emblem: Three Houses.

Called Cindered Shadows, it will be released on Nintendo Switch on February 13, and will bring a new story. It will add to the game a fourth house, the Ashen Wolves, which features four new characters: Yuri, Constance, Balthus, and Hapi. Cindered Shadows will also include a new area, called the Abyss, which lies deep inside the Garreg Mach Monastery. It should also be an opportunity to see new classes, as the trailer suggests. It also seems that the calendar system will not be in use in this new story, which will be accessed separately from the main storyline and that will, therefore, have its own save. However, once you complete the DLC, you will be able to recruit the four characters from the House of Ashen Wolves in the main story.

Cindered Shadows will be available on February 13 via the Fire Emblem: Three Houses Extension Pass. And you can find it at the best price on our comparator, just like the basic game.
