It’s a heavy news day! Lots to discuss. So here’s a rare, four-topic news post. Forgive me if they’re small segments.
- A Hat in Time DLC, Co-op, Switch Port
- FROM’s Sekiro’s Release Date
- Twitch Prime Ad Changes
- Life is Strange 2 Reveal Trailer
Two Hats in Time
Remember A Hat In Time, the adorable 3D platformer released not long ago? Developers Gears for Breakfast recently released an announcement trailer detailing their upcoming DLC. Titled “Seal the Deal,” it features a cruise ship run by adorable seals. They also announce a new game mode called Death Wish, which is like an extra difficult boss mode. They then announce a new co-op update is coming to the PC game on September 13. Lastly, they announce a Nintendo Switch version of the game, which will be “coming soon.” Perhaps we’ll have to make a Cozy Co-op episode about a Hat in Time soon.
Sekiro Release Date
According to a tweet by the game’s official Twitter, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice has a release date! March 22 of next year. Originally in Japanese, the tweet roughly translates to the following.
‘”Sekiro: SHADOWS DIE TWICE” will be released simultaneously worldwide on Friday, March 22, 2019. I hope you’ll enjoy it.’
So hey, that’s cool. It’s not too far away when you think about it.
Twitch Prime, Now with Ads
When Amazon bought out Twitch, the popular live streaming service, they implemented a new special status called Twitch Prime. This was a free upgrade to Twitch users who also had Amazon Prime. It offered the same benefits as Twitch Turbo, an alternate upgrade service.
One of the features of Twitch Prime was ad-free viewing. There are quite a few ads on Twitch, so having a way to mitigate them without an ad blocker was quite appealing. Now Twitch has announced that Twitch Prime will no longer offer ad-free viewing, starting next month. Twitch Turbo will continue to offer the service, however. So those wanting ad-free viewing will have to add another nine dollars a month.
Frustrating, to say the least.
Life is Strange 2
At long last, we have a trailer for Life is Strange 2. Instead of me talking about it, since I don’t have much to say, how about I just post the video below?
That’s all for today, tune in tomorrow for more fun, flirty news. Otherwise, have a great day!
