Gaming Updates: Which new game has nine different versions? | Israel today

Nine boom

Horizon's updated release date: Forbidden West, Sony's next exclusive game for the PlayStation, is February 18, 2022. We've holding fingers that Sony will indeed be able to meet its schedules this time because the situation is pretty sparse, but that's just part of the story: the game will launch no less than nine (! ) Various Editions: In addition to the four base editions (Disk and Digital for PlayStation 4 and Disk and Digital and PlayStation 5), there are also special editions for both consoles, which come with a steelbook, art booklet and some digital bonuses.

Horizon,

We've already reached six, yes?

Now we will add the digital deluxe edition, which includes both the PlayStation 4 version and the PlayStation 5 version, in addition to a few other additions like the soundtrack.

The eighth edition is the collectors edition that costs around $ 200 and comes with both versions of the game and all the physical bonuses we mentioned earlier, plus a robotic mammoth figurine (because everyone needs a robotic mammoth in the living room).

Last but not least we have a special super-duper-mega edition, called Regalia Edition, costs about $ 260, boasts all the previous choppers plus a mammoth figurine

different from the previous edition

, a quick-pull canvas map in case you got lost in the game, some more artwork And a replica of this gadget that Aloy, the heroine of the series, has in her ear.

For someone to call Guinness World Records, a record is likely to be broken here.

Not only of several versions for one game, but also of several robotic mammoth figurines for one game.

Sean Mendez is weird?

Just before Life is Strange: True Colors hits us this weekend (the first game remasters have been postponed to 2022), there was a report that singer Sean Mendez will be involved in producing the TV series based on the successful games, and will even be in charge of its musical aspect.

The announcement of the LIS TV series was made as early as 2016, but we haven’t heard too much about it since.

The news of Mendez's joining surprised many, as it was estimated that production had been canceled or at least frozen.

However, it turns out that this is not the case.

Mendez, a 23-year-old Canadian youth idol who is considered a quality musician, seems like the perfect choice for the project, as the games, known not only for their adolescence plots with their exciting "supernatural twist" but also for their excellent soundtracks, appeal precisely to its target audience .

And Pompidou the dog rules.

Worn skies

The movie "Top Gun: Maverick" (or the pledge of "Love in the Sky", for that matter) has been postponed once again, and currently its scheduled release date in theaters is May 2022. How does this relate to gaming?

Well, Microsoft has planned to release this fall and in parallel with the film's launch, a free add - on to its shrinking flight simulator, which among other things will allow us to sit in the cockpit of an F-18 aircraft.

But as expected, the plugin has also been postponed to the film's updated launch date, so anyone dreaming of becoming Tom Cruise will have to wait a little longer.

On the other hand, those who are into net simulators will be happy to know that in the coming days Microsoft will release an upgrade to a title that will focus on Germany, Austria and Switzerland and will be called World Update 6. Later this year we will get some new aircraft and competitive multiplayer mode.  

Assigns renovations

The Israeli mobile gaming company Playtika has acquired Reworks Oy, which is behind the home design game Redecor, which is considered one of the most successful in its field.

80 percent of Reworks Oy has already been acquired by Playtika for $ 400 million.

The remaining 20 percent will be transferred for an additional $ 200 million, based on the company's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) in 2022.

If the EBITDA threshold is not reached, the remaining percentages will be purchased for one dollar.

This is the eighth acquisition of Playtika, which operates 19 offices around the world, since its inception in 2010.

The company is valued at $ 2.1 billion and employs about 4,000 people.
