There are so many amazing players in FIFA 23, wingers are some of the most enjoyable. The position of winger is so famous because of its ability to change the position of the game. Whether with or without the ball, the winger needs to play according to his skill, pace, crossing ability and finishing. The same goes for wingers in FIFA 23.

Regardless of the mode, these wingers can bring you very impactful and exciting signings. Eventually, you'll have to use one or even more wingers to get into the game. Alternatively, choose a formation for one of your Ultimate Team rosters that just needs to fill the winger position. That being the case, you definitely need to know which wingers are worth adding to your roster. Next, I will introduce 6 outstanding wingers to you:

Raheem Sterling, Chelsea F.C.

For England's national team, the national team would be complete without Raheem Sterling. In FIFA 23, Sterling has an overall score of 85 as a Chelsea left winger, and his all-around stats are also impressive. The reason he gets a chance to play in every game is because his Attacking Work Rate is very high, which makes him an offensive threat.

If you can choose Sterling, then his 80 Shooting, 86 Dribbling and 90 Pace can bring you a lot of goals for your Ultimate Team or Career Mode squad. If you also want to build a very good Ultimate Team, and a team that can produce very good chemistry, then he will be a wonderful choice for you as a Premier League player and an England international.

Riyad Mahrez, Manchester City

As an Algerian player, Riyad Mahrez is currently playing for English Premier League Manchester City. He's a silky right winger with excellent footwork, first touch, finishing and unforgettable agility that's why he's so famous.

Apart from this, Mahrez is a star. At this point, there are not many players who can do what he has done. Mahrez's overall score is 85, with 83 Passing, 84 Finishing and 90 Dribbling. Usually, he moves on the right side of the field, and then uses his amazing 83 Passing to pass the ball to his teammates, forwards and midfielders.

Vinicius Jr, Real Madrid F.C.

For Real Madrid, the young superstar Vinícius Jr is the perfect long-term Career Mode signing. With a Potential of 92, he has the possibility to be one of the highest rated players in the game after a few seasons. Not only that, but he will still be a top player.

You can call him Vinícius Jr, or Vini Jr. As a Brazilian left winger, he has an overall rating of 86. And, in FIFA 23, he has some best offensive statistics, including an unstoppable 90 Dribbling and 95 Pace. If you like to go fast in your game, Vinícius Jr is a great option.

Heung-Min Son, Tottenham

Heung-Min Son is the healthiest player in English Premier League. And at Tottenham Hotspur, he is not only a hard-working winger and a strong-willed man, but also a wicked goalscorer and even a great player.

With his own quick burst and a few tight strides, Heung-Min Son is able to take defenders out of the game. Then, facing a helpless goalkeeper, he will roll the ball straight into the top corner of the net. Overall, Heung-Min Son's Positioning and 91 Finishing are unmatched.

Neymar Jr, Paris Saint-Gemain

Among the best players of this generation is Neymar Jr. He had been playing for Santos FC in Brazil before, during which many clubs paid great attention to him, and finally he signed for F.C. In 2013, he cemented himself as a player for the football history books at Barcelona.

For you, it's also well worth using some FUT 23 Coins to get Neymar into your Ultimate Team. Not only did he have a total score of 89, but he also has five-star Skill Moves, five-star Weak Foot and 93 Dribbling. In addition, Neymar can not only score his own goals, but also cut the opponent's defense in order to pass the ball to his teammates.

Mohamed Salah, Liverpool F.C.

In Liverpool F.C. there is such an elite right-wing player, who is Mohamed Salah. Like many talented players of this generation, his name is known by many people. If you're lucky enough to see Salah's name when you open your player pack in Ultimate Team, then you can really enjoy the game.

Salah is one of the most well-rounded players in this position, with nearly all attacking stats over 80. I believe you will be very happy when you see this. With 93 Finishing and 85 Long Shot, he can score anywhere.

The above is the relevant information of the 6 outstanding wingers. I hope it will be helpful to your Ultimate Team.

In the FIFA 23 Ultimate Team calendar, as one of the most popular promotions and one of the highlights, Team Of The Year is able to offer the highest rated editions of the best players in the world. In the meantime, there's some items that FIFA 23 released earlier this year with them. Items here refer to World Cup Icons and normal Icon cards with game legends. In addition, for the 12 best players, by voting you have the opportunity to choose them and let them advance.

Historically, Lionel Messi was responsible for leading the way as World Cup Hero after one of the greatest players finally claimed the ultimate award. In FIFA 23, he as Argentine has the highest rated joint card currently, with a rating of 98, which is quite shocking. Messi's card is played on the right wing, with a top 99 dribbling, 97 passing and 98 shooting. Previously, in FIFA 23, the World Cup Team of The Tournament card had his name on it.

Two Players Sit Behind Messi With 97 Overall Ratings

After Messi, there are 3 players with 97 overall ratings following him. Among them, PSG teammate Kylian Mbappe is inside. In addition to that, he was the best player in this promotion. Although his rating is not very high, compared to the number of games played by Messi, the French striker played more games. And in the transfer market, Kylian Mbappe's card is worth more than 10 million coins.

Usually, Mbappe's position is a striker. With his 98 dribbling and 99 top speed stats, he's hard to stop. However, compared with his teammates, his 87 physical stat will be more advantageous. Recently, in FIFA 23's latest "Team Of The Week", those players who performed well on the real pitch will appear on it.

Ballon d'Or winner Karim Benzema, as the last striker selected for this year's Team Of The Year, has won the Champions League title for Real Madrid once before, and won it again this time. Benzema is the most well-rounded striker of the three forwards, and he has all five key stats in the 90s. Among them, his hit rate is as high as 97, which makes him deadly in front of the goal. This time the upgrade allows him to truly replace those common players in Ultimate Teams, and the price is much lower than other players.

Three Good Midfielders

With another stellar season at Manchester City, Kevin De Bruyne is the highest rated midfielder at the time with a rating of 96. Although his performance in World Cup was not very good, it didn't affect him. In FIFA 23, the highest rated midfielder so far is Belgian star Zinedine Zidane. In the future, FIFA 23 Squad Building Challenges, more and more TOTY flashback stars will appear there. Croatian Luka Modric, who follows De Bruyne in Qatar, has made another big run for his country in World Cup. For you, he would be a good option because of his high stats across the board, although the veteran is not as quick as other midfielders in midfield.

The only Englishman to advance was Jude Bellingham. Because of his potential, you can expect to see him in a lot of Team Of The Years. In FIFA 23, Bellingham is the best all-round midfielder as he has a default midfield position, has very good overall statistics and has a high rating of 95. Currently, there is a card that can generate great chemistry for Ultimate Team. Through this card, you will know why his price has been rising in the transfer market. At the same time, it is also letting players return more than 2 million coins. On top of that, Bellingham is also able to use most of the new skill moves in FIFA 23, thanks to his 4-star skill stat.

This year, in FIFA 23, Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has improved a lot from his previous best rated 90 card and is now rated at 96, making him one of the best strikers in the game. And these huge changes are all because many players voted for him. If you can find him in your bag, with his physical stats among the top strikers in the world, you can use this card to bully opposing defenders. In FIFA 23, one of the most effective players executing the new power shots is Haaland.

Eder Militao Can Replace Virgil Van Dijk

In FIFA 23, Liverpool centre-back Virgil Van Dijk is the highest-scoring defender despite a poor year on the pitch. He has a speed of 88, a physical rating of 94 and a defensive rating of 97. Another Real Madrid star who has reached the top 11, Eder Militao, is Virgil Van Dijk's partner. Although the other statistics of the Brazilian Eder Militao are not very high, but his speed class is higher than that of Van Dijk and can really replace Van Dijk.

At full-back, two of the World Cup's standouts also make the squad with PSG's Achraf Hakimi and AC Milan's Theo Hernandez. Recently, Neymar was available as Moroccan's PSG team-mate in FIFA 23 promotion Centurions. The joint fastest player in the game, Hakimi has a top speed stat of 99. In making him stand out for his country en route to the semi-finals.

Usually, in Team Of The Year, it is difficult to see the goalkeeper's name. But in FIFA 23, another key player in Real Madrid's squad, Thibaut Courtois, has won the honor. To add to an Ultimate Team squad, Belgian will only set you back a fraction of the price, unlike the other stars in the promotion. Still, the best goalkeeper card to date is Thibaut Courtois.

Once again, Team Of The Year has the best cards in FIFA 23 so far. However, in the transfer market, the prices of these cards are very high.

As we all know, every Expansion release of Path of Exile will inject new vitality into MMOARPG. Grinding Gear Games has added four Expansions to Path of Exile every year since its release in October 2013.

The currently ongoing POE Expansion is titled The Forbidden Sanctum, which released in December 9, 2022 for PC/Mac. Calculated according to the progress of three months, POE 3.20 will end in early March 2023, and at that time, 3.21 will follow the pace of 3.20 in the near future and provide new content for players.

However, unfortunately, some time ago, there were rumors that "POE 3.21 makes way for Diablo 4" on the Internet. For this situation, GGG also made a corresponding reply, that is, they really want to postpone the release schedule of POE 3.21 by one month. It also left four months of development time for the devs of the Path of Exile 3.21 Update. Let's make a bold prediction, have they started working on 3.22 in these four months?

For a highly anticipated new game like Diablo 4, whether it is a player who has joined the Diablo fan base in recent years or a hardcore player of the Diablo series, it has a strong attraction. It's been over a decade since Blizzard last officially released Diablo 3. Diablo 4 is expected to be released in June 6th, 2023. This timing coincides with the expected end of POE 3.21 Expansion, which was originally scheduled to be released in March. If GGG insists on going its own way, then the release of Diablo 4 is bound to divert away most POE fans during the window period before the release of 3.22.

After all, both belong to the field of MMOARPG, and they have competed for many years. The influence of the Diablo series is still much greater than that of POE Expansion. Now it seems that if the news that GGG postponed the release date of POE 3.21 is true, it has to be said to be a wise decision. If they want to release 3.22 shortly after the end of 3.21, the two Expansions will form an angle with Diablo 4 and block it to a certain extent. In addition, at that time, GGG will also release the trailer of Path of Exile 2 The film will also bring about a wave of enthusiasm among old POE fans. If you look at it this way, the situation is three against one, and it is not certain who will win.

Let us wait and see what will happen in June and July this year.

On February 3, 2023, FIFA Ultimate Team announced the 12th Man and FIFA 23 Team of the Year squad with multiple honorable mentions. However, relevant insiders said that a promotional video that old fans love most, namely Future Stars, will be released that day.

We'll list everything you need to know about FIFA 23 Future Stars start date, duration, Token Swaps and players.

FIFA 23 Future Stars Promo's Meaning

Many people should know what FIFA 23 Future Stars promo is. Generally speaking, Future Stars will pay more attention to those young players with unlimited potential, because their careers are still very long. These young players then receive upgrade cards that reflect their performance for years to come when their careers are at their peak. Therefore, only those players who must be 23 or younger are likely to be considered for Future Stars.

When Does FIFA 23 Future Stars Start?

According to the above, FIFA 23 Future Stars may start when TOTY ends on February 3, 2023, at 10:00 am PT, 1:00 pm ET, 6:00 pm GMT or 7:00 pm CET.

Some speculate that Future Stars will last roughly two weeks, with two squads:

• Future Stars Team One: February 3-10, 2023

• Future Stars Team Two: February 10-17, 2023

Token Swaps

EA Sports has officially announced that FIFA 23 Future Stars can continue to conduct Token Swaps in the future. From now until February 17, 2023, you can exchange your collected 30 Future Stars Swaps Tokens for some rewards, and use FUT 23 Coins to get stronger favorite players cards to win more games.

Leaks

We now know that Brazilian player Coutinho who signed with Manchester City is one of the Future Stars, and this has been confirmed. We have no information on any other Future Stars other than him.

Finally, we will keep you posted if there's any information about FIFA 23 Future Stars.

In this article, we are going to go over a number of topics with things that you can do for the next couple of upcoming weeks leading towards the start of the POE 3.21.

Gauntlet

Since we still have a little while till then a bunch of things that you can take advantage of. First thing you're going to see in the background is the Gauntlet in case you don't know.

The gauntlet is a hardcore Solo Self Found (SSF) race hosted by Zizaran where he partners with Shopify Rebellion and has a bunch of crowd sourcing. So pretty much donations so he can give out rewards for this event. The main reason I encourage this is because of the fact that it is a Hardcore and Solo Self Found thing.

Even if like me, you are primarily Softcore Trade, it always does help getting the additional practice with leveling, with crafting, with the mechanics just because if you're not used to the Solo Self Found. And you have to do it for the race. You still get to take these skills. You learn back to Softcore Trade when the next League starts. So, the last couple of Gauntlets I've been playing them just to kind of try to get better at stuff right.

And as you can see, the reward thresholds aren't that bad and can reach level 50, 60 or 70 and that's not going to be very hard for as long as you follow like majority build guide or even if you make your own build. And go that way as long as you know how to make a well-rounded character. This starts on February 10th. And since I'm primarily PoE, this is the first thing that I wanted to draw attention to.

Diablo 3

So, the next thing is going to actually be jumping over to Diablo 3. Diablo 3 actually had its PTR for 2.7.5 start on the 31st of January and is going to be running for a week. This is the first time in a while that Blizzard's actually seemingly put a large amount of effort going into a season, like they've almost put as much stuff into this as your typical PoE season. They have a flust out season mechanic as well as they did do balancing with the skills and stuff, which they haven't done in forever.

So, I'm going to be playing this just because it seems like it's going to be a crazy fun. I think the estimated date of Diablo 3 is February 17th for the season 28 start. But the PTR you can jump on there and start playing as of the 31st. So, as of today, that's something else you can do if you're done with the Gauntlet on the 17th. Apart from that, I believe this has only been out for about two weeks.

Torchlight Infinite Season 2

But about two weeks ago, Torchlight Infinite did start a new season. You've probably seen a lot of PoE content creators play that recently. I think they sponsored a bunch of PoE content creators to play it on the season launch. But I've been messing around with it. And honestly, it's pretty fun to play in your down time. So, if you wanted to give this a shot new season just started so might want to jump into that.

The Final Fantasy XIV 6.3 release date came up first thing during the Letter from the Producer Live Part LXXV, along with a trailer. Director and Producer Naoki Yoshida and Global Community Producer Toshio "Foxclon" Murouchi appeared to deliver the news. On January 10, 2023, the update will appear. There's also that new video teasing what will come in Gods Revel, Lands Tremble.

The new video teases the new storyline content and raids that are on the way. For example, we get to see Zero, who will play a prominent part. New story segments with Alphinaud and Alisaie will come up, and both appear in the latest trailer. There are also teases for the new raid.

In addition to that, per usual, we'll see new Main Scenario quests. There will be more sidequests like Tataru's Grand Endeavor, Tales of Newfound Adventure, and Hildibrand adventures. More Manderville Weapons are promised. So are Loporrits Tribal Quests. A new dungeon, new Trial, and new Unreal Trial will also appear too. The Alliance Raid Euphrosyne and Ultimate Duty 5 Omega Protocol Ultimate are showing up as well after 6.3.

The big changes in Patch 6.3, however, is the continuation of the Myths of the Realm Alliance Raid, with Part 2: Euphrosyne. Once again players will come face-to-face with The Twelve, the guardian deities of Eorzea. This is the land of revelry for the gods, and this time around players will be facing Nophica, Althyk, Halone, and Menphina. Of course, keep in mind to access Euphrosyne, you'll need to be level 90, have a sufficient equipment level, and be up to date with the Myths of the Realm questline.

Treasure Hunt is also getting a bit of an update and will change to a new treasure dungeon "The Shifting Gymnasion Agonon." You can access the new dungeon through a treasure map that's usable in Elpis.

Those are the major additions, but there are plenty of other smatterings of content as well, which we'll cover below.

• New Unreal Trial - Containment Bay P1T6 (Unreal)
• Additional Duty Support for Heavensward - Duty Support added for The Great Gubal Library, Sohr Khai, The Aetherochemical Research Facility, Xelphatol, The Antitwoer, and Baelsar's Wall.
• New quests for Tataru's Grand Endeavor
• PvP Season Three Starts as well as Season Five of Crystalline Conflict. A new arena for Crtyalline Conflict "The Clockwork Castletown" will be added.
• Island Sanctuary Update - New ranks, visions, items, materials, crops, animals, and handicrafts.
• New Housing Wards - All housing wards will get 6 new regular wards as well as 6 new subdivisions. (1800 new plots per world)
• Alternate UI Theme - Clear Blue
• Umbrella fashion accessory can be automatically opened when it rains
• New Gear
• New Custom Deliveries for Anden

Additionally, a couple of pieces of content will be added in the sub-patches for the 6.3 series, which we don't have exact dates for yet.

• (Patch 6.31) Ultimate Duty #5 - The Omega Protocol (Ultimate). This will release two weeks after Patch 6.3, and players need to have completed Abyssos: The Eighth Circle (Savage).
• (Patch 6.35) - Continuation of Somehow Further Hildabrand Adventures questline.
• (Patch 6.35) - Deep Dungeon #3 Eureka Orthos - In order to access players need to have complete MSQ of Endwalker and reached floor 50 of Palace of the Dead.

Outside of new content, there are some fairly major changes coming to the Paladin job, which fans have been asking for since the launch of Endwalker. Other jobs are only getting minor adjustments to usability. Below you can see an overview of the changes, straight from the latest Live Letter.

• Rotations have been shortened to accommodate high-powered actions.
• Damage over time effect for Goring Blade and Blade of Valor was removed and their potency adjusted.
• Divine Might is now applied after weaponskill combos, allowing an enhanced Holy Spirit to be executed once without casting.
• Holy Sheltron's effect has been changed to reduce damage taken, thereby enhancing defensive capabilities against damage over time.
• The previously removed Bulwark ability has been revamped and reintroduced, offering increased defensive capability.
• Utility of several other actions and combos have also been adjusted.

2022 was the year of Elden Ring, of Miyazaki, of Malenia. The highly anticipated FromSoftware title held the industry by its throat for months, dominating the conversation around difficulty, damage scaling, and player builds (including everyone's favorite nepo baby, Elon Musk). It took over streaming, it created legends.

After over a decade of FromSoftware games holding court as the quintessential 'git gud' franchise, locking those of us without a masochist bent out of the discourse, Elden Ring's open world opened up the gates for an entirely new player base. As such, it catapulted the work of Hidetaka Miyezaki to entirely new heights: Elden Ring is by far the best-selling FromSoftware title, it's snatching up GOTY awards like Rowa Fruit, and it's still generating passionate conversations 10 months after its release.

By subtly divesting from the tried and true FromSoftware formula and giving us a game unshackled by a single, punishing, linear path, Elden Ring offered up the Lands Between on a beautifully ornate (but slightly Tarnished) silver platter

Around the Difficulty

The Souls game discourse has almost solely revolved around difficulty. Before Elden Ring was released, FromSoftware's Yasuhiro Kitao told Eurogamer that the game was "made for all sorts of players," not just "hardened veterans." This sent the fanboys into a tailspin, but it piqued the interest of those who have never been able to enjoy the punishing gameplay of FromSoft's oeuvre.

Personally, I suggesting that what would make Elden Ring great would be its approachability, and that that approachability was made possible by its open world. It's a helluva lot easier to avoid difficult areas if you can run around them on horseback, but previous Souls games forced you to choose between the difficult path and the bang your head against the wall because it's impossible path. The promise of ample choice made me think that Elden Ring is a game everyone enjoy.

Brutal and Impressive Battles

The beauty of Elden Ring lies in its world that teems, bubbles, and spews with both friendly and deadly life, that tantalizes and terrifies with its landscapes, that beckons and shuns you in a single breath. I find this beauty in so many moments during my time with the game, like when I accidentally descend down to the Siofra River, not too long into my playthrough.

In Limgrave, I step on a platform and am whisked down, until I emerge into an astounding space: a fully realized night sky in a variety of bruise colors, littered with pinholes of light. Crumbling classical architecture obfuscates my view of this impossible galaxy and tombstones line the path leading away from the platform, which glowed a bizarre green during my descent but now lies dormant.

I am, as the kids say, gagged, and stumble aimlessly away from the platform, paying little attention to what enemies may lie in my path for the first time since booting up Elden Ring. This is a mistake I quickly pay for, as I walk directly into a horde of Claymen. They move slowly, but they hurt, and I am severely underleveled for this area. One of the weaponless magic conjurers takes me out in seconds with his weird bubbles, sending me back to the Site of Grace right next to the platform that brought me here. When I go back to fetch my several hundred runes, the same guy takes me out again. Elden Ring, unlike other FromSoftware games, gave me ample chances to amass the tools and experience I'd need to earn a brief respite.

Storytelling Abilities

But Elden Ring isn't just somber and serious, it's not just hours of grueling gameplay with brief, meditative breaks. It's goofy as well, like all FromSoftware games inherently are. There are negative messages littered all over the ground, dozens upon dozens of ways to die that will make you chuckle in disbelief.

It's this combination of punishing play, engaging story (thanks, George R.R. Martin), and asinine antics that make FromSoftware games, especially this one, so special. Elden Ring gives you enemies like Starscourge Radahn, who will in one moment beat the brakes off of you with gigantic meteors flung from a blood-red sky and in another send you into a fit of hysterics when you realize that he is, in fact, sitting on top of a very tiny horse. Elden Ring plays with you, offering up prophecies and moral quandaries that will have you scratching your head, but undercutting it with both accidental and purposeful absurdism.

When we inevitably look back at Elden Ring a decade from now, it will be difficult for us to remember exactly how much it defined the zeitgeist, just how far it permeated popular culture outside of gaming, and just how much we couldn't stop talking about it. But now, ten months after its release, it's hard to imagine we ever existed in a world without it.

So many great games have been released in 2022, and now The Game Awards have released the Game of the Year, Elden Ring. Most of the nominees are fairly predictable, as they're by far the most acclaimed AAA games of the year, such as God of War: Ragnarok. And while they not win the final reward, all still hope their personal faves will get the coveted award.

Disappointment has run through fans every year since 2014 when the award was introduced, and a lot of classic games missed out. Redditors have voiced their opinions on which games should have won instead, and they range from outrageously hot takes to games that are better remembered than the real winners.

Ghost Of Tsushima

Original AAA games are rare these days, as they're usually sequels or tied to other franchises in some way, which is because they have guaranteed audiences and are virtually impossible to fail. However, the massive-scale Ghost of Tsushima came along in 2020 and absolutely destroyed the competition. The samurai game is set in an immersive open-world Japan and features one of the best revenge stories in a video game; and while it was nominated for Game of the Year, it lost to another behemoth, The Last of Us Part II.

Some players think the samurai game should have won noting, "Ghost of Tsushima was absolutely amazing! I loved every aspect of it, the ending especially broke me, shame it was only recognized for its art design and not its other good features." While the survival horror game was a lock for the win, given that another samurai game, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, won GOTY the previous year, Tsushima's loss definitely surprised many gamers, and any other year it should have dominated the competition, but TLOU was just too significant in gaming culture for it to tip the scales.

Red Dead Redemption 2

Red Dead Redemption 2 is undoubtedly one of the most realistic games of the 21st century, especially when it comes to its western setting, as no other western game comes close to the 2018 game's immersion. Though it was nominated for Game of the Year, it lost out to God of War, but TrippMiller thinks that the Rockstar release is by far the superior of the two.

The Redditor comments, "Nothing against God of War, it was a really good game. But Red Dead 2 is probably the best game I've ever owned." Red Dead 2 certainly encouraged exploration more than the Sony release, and it had more side missions and other things to do after the main story was completed too. But both games were comparable in terms of following an emotional narrative.

Uncharted 4: A Thief's End

Uncharted 4: A Thief's End was nominated for 2016 Game of the Year, and it was seemingly a one-horse race. There was no way any other game could have beaten the Naughty Dog release. Yet it shockingly lost to Overwatch, a multiplayer first-person shooter. Kikirevi was the most displeased with Uncharted's loss.

The Redditor notes, "I have nothing against Overwatch let me tell y'all this, it really is impressive, fun, and just amazing to play. But, Uncharted 4, to me was a masterpiece." A Thief's End had everything, including a narrative worthy of being the next Indiana Jones movie, and it was the gold standard of adventure gaming. The one area where Overwatch outdoes the fourquel is with its superior and phenomenal multiplayer.

Resident Evil Village

Resident Evil Village was a return to the aesthetic of the most celebrated game in the franchise, Resident Evil 4. Both games take place in terrifying woodland areas full of swamps and creepy cabins, and it was both a breath of fresh air and a trip down memory lane for fans. While it was nominated for 2021 game of the year, it lost to the beloved It Takes Two, and some believe the loss was unfair, commenting, "I found the game amazing."

However, the franchise could have a shot at winning GOTY again soon enough, as the Resident Evil 4 remake is scheduled for release in March 2023. Remakes have been nominated for GOTY before including Resident Evil 2, and while none have won, Resident Evil 4 has the best chance.

Bloodborne

In 2015, Bloodborne lost Game of the Year to The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and this deleted user isn't happy about it. 2015 was a stacked year, and Witcher 3 knocked out a lot of strong contenders, including Fallout 4 and Metal Gear Solid V, but the Redditor posits, "Bloodborne came out as probably the most memorable and more importantly the most fun. I'm sure I don't need to explain why it should have won."

The 2022 Game of the Year could make up for this slight, as Bloodborne is connected to Elden Ring, which is a tied front-runner for the award with God of War: Ragnarok. Elden Ring is a spiritual successor to the 2015 game and is classed as a "SoulsBorne" game, and it's the only release that has a chance of taking down Kratos.

Update 3.20.1 has arrived for Path of Exile, and here’s everything new added and changed with this update. Path of Exile is one of the most played free-to-play games. There aren’t many choices for the ones seeking a free-to-play RPG game. The game has won many awards since its release, and the developers are still improving it with active updates. There were a few changes the fanbase was asking for, and some of them arrived with this update.

Here’s everything about the Patch of Exile update 3.20.1 and the patch notes.

Path of Exile Update 3.20.1 Patch Notes

Sanctum Updates and Improvements

• Introduced 7 new Unique Relics that drop from the final form of the Sanctum Boss. These Relics challenge you to complete an entire run of The Forbidden Sanctum at area level 80+ under special rules. If you’re able to complete such a run, you’ll be rewarded in new and special ways. However, the Unique Relic will be destroyed regardless of the outcome of your run, so if you fail to complete it, you’ll forfeit your potential rewards.

• Some of these Unique Relics cause the Herald of the Scourge to drop additional or specific items, while others causes Aureus Coins to be converted to certain outcomes upon defeating the Herald of the Scourge.

• We’ve also introduced a new Unique Ring that can be earned by defeating the Herald of the Scourge with one of the new Unique Relics active.

• Characters that are up close to their target now take even less damage to their Resolve.

• Sanctum Quests are no longer hidden with the “Enable Quest Tracking” option disabled. We’ve also made improvements to these Quests to reduce the chance they are missed when first entering the relevant town area.

Path of Exile Update 3.20.1 Patch Notes – Blight Atlas Passive Changes

• The Blight Atlas Passives that provided your Maps with Blight Encounters a chance to contain an additional Blight Encounter have irreconcilable issues that result in areas with two Blight Encounters failing to generate reliably, so we have replaced these stats.

• The small Atlas Passives now provide “5% chance on Completing your Maps to gain a free use of the Blight Map Crafting Option.”

• The small Atlas Passive at the entry of this cluster that provided your maps a +4% chance to contain a Blight Encounter now provides “Lanes of Blight Encounters in your Maps have 5% chance for an additional Reward Chest” and “2% chance on Completing your Maps to gain a free use of the Blight Map Crafting Option.”

• The Mycelial Swarm Notable Atlas Passive now provides “Blight Map Crafting Option is always available” and “50% reduced cost of the Blight Map Crafting Option.”­

As you see, there are many changes that could be noticeable while playing. We hope to see more balance updates for Path of Exile because it’s usually the most important thing in RPG games. There is no information about the download size because that depends on the platform. Path of Exile is available on PC, PS4, Xbox One, and macOS.

A roadmap revealing many of the biggest changes coming to New World has been revealed during the New World Dev Update for December, including some features that have long been requested by players. New World will soon be getting transmog, gear set storage, 20-player groups, changes to crafting tiers, territory wars, and some challenging new PVE content.

Amazon Games' New World has made big changes in its first year online with major updates on a regular basis that have addressed many of the issues players had at launch. Nearly every month since its release, New World's updates have introduced new content, weapons, events, system reworks, and quality-of-life changes that have significantly improved the game in many areas. As a result, leveling has become quicker, crafting is easier, combat is more fluid, the early game is more streamlined, and there's plenty of content for endgame players. While the game's population may not be what it was in its early days, current New World players seem to be growing more satisfied with the experience.

A roadmap for New World's future changes was laid out during December's New World Dev Update, and it's refreshing to see the enthusiasm the dev team has for the upcoming content. The Winter Convergence event will be returning, where players can team up to fight Winter Warrior seasonal boss for festive rewards, and the colorful holiday decorations will be returning to settlements including the new Brimstone Sands area. A mashup between the Starstone and Amrine Expeditions is also on the way, which will give late and endgame players an opportunity to revisit these lower-level Expeditions with new challenges and paths.

A transmog system for New World is finally coming which has long been one of the most highly requested features and will allow players to express themselves by equipping their favorite collected appearances. A gear set storage system is also on the way and will be a major improvement due to New World's classless gameplay often requiring players to switch between many sets of gear for different purposes. Crafting tiers are also being adjusted so that many recipes can be crafted regardless of the crafting station's level, while named and other advanced items will still require T5 stations.

On the territory side, the developers plan to crack down on territory control exploits in New World by limiting the effectiveness of "shell companies," meanwhile the contributions required for completing town projects are being reduced by 70-80% so that companies can more reliably complete upgrades. New cinematics, quality-of-life changes, a hardcore Sandworm Elite Trial for the toughest PVE players, cross-world Outpost Rush, and a free weekend are just a few of the other things to look forward to in the near future.
