Tuesday 6-5-18: Vampyr Released, Fallout 76 Release Date Rumor, and App Store Free Trials

Second day in a row that I’m being a responsible adult. Here’s the news.

  • Vampyr Released
  • Fallout 76 Release Date Rumor
  • App Store Free Trials

Vampyr


If you’ve been reading regularly, you’ve likely seen the name Vampyr a few times. This is dark victorian RPG is developed by DONTNOD Entertainment, the developers of Life is Strange. You play the role of a doctor trying to treat a plague-ridden London, while also dealing with your own vampirism. It released today for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.

Fallout 76?


According to a short-lived listing by Amazon, the pre-order pages for Fallout 76 lists the game as releasing on July 31, 2018. The date has since been changed to December 31, 2019. Can it be trusted? An inside source has said that the game is coming “sooner than you think.” But at the same time, Bethesda has a history of using earlier-than-true placeholder dates. Wolfenstein 2 and The Evil Within 2 had listed for June of their respective years, yet they didn’t release until October. To be honest, its the secret source saying it’s coming soon that makes me think this one might be true.

App Store Free Trials


The Apple App Store for mobile devices has updated their guidelines, which adds a few “free trial” feature.

“Non-subscription apps may offer a free time-based trial period before presenting a full unlock option by setting up a Non-Consumable IAP item at Price Tier 0 that follows the naming convention: ’14-day Trial’,” the guidelines read.

This isn’t exactly gaming worthy, perhaps. But I don’t have much to report right now. Expect to see this new model present in future apps.


That’s all for today. Expect an announcement tomorrow regarding site content. Also, there will be the normal news tomorrow. Check-in for both of those things. Otherwise, have a great day!
