Exciting Gaming Updates: News You Need to Know

Recent Highlights in Gaming
In the world of gaming, there's been a flurry of updates worth discussing. Here are the most intriguing developments from the past few days.
Fortnite's Dragon Ball Crossover
Previously, I touched upon a teaser from Fortnite hinting at a Dragon Ball collaboration. I'm excited to announce that the Fortnite x Dragon Ball event is now live! Players can purchase a variety of Dragon Ball-themed skins, emotes, and other cool items from the in-game shop. This event will run until September 17th.
Moreover, players can visit special points of interest to watch episodes of Dragon Ball Super, explore new locations, and engage in limited-time quests.
Guild Wars 2 Launching on Steam
In other news, the highly anticipated MMORPG, Guild Wars 2, will finally be making its way to Steam next week. Originally slated for a 2020 release, the launch has been postponed, but the official date is now set for August 23, 2022.
The base game remains free-to-play, with no subscription fees. However, a new Complete Collection Bundle will be available exclusively on Steam for $100. This package is comprehensive, including every expansion's story, map, and other features, addressing player concerns about hidden costs associated with previous expansions.
Though $100 might appear high at first glance, it encompasses nearly ten years' worth of content, making it a welcome offer for newcomers like myself who are eager to dive into Guild Wars 2.
Spider-Man Game Developments
Switching gears, Spider-Man and Spider-Man: Miles Morales are primarily single-player experiences. However, following the PC release of Spider-Man Remastered, an intriguing discovery was made in the game’s executable file.
A Twitter user, DniweTamp, shared images revealing references to "Superior Spider-Man," linked to either Peter Parker or Miles Morales, and mentions of red and blue teams, suggesting a potential competitive multiplayer mode.
Another note in the code hints at a cooperative game mode in development, which has fans buzzing with excitement over the possibility of a co-op story experience. If this comes to fruition, I would love to play through the narrative with a friend.
For those interested, here's the original Twitter post from DniweTamp:
Modding Arrives for Spider-Man Remastered
Since the recent PC launch, several mods for Spider-Man Remastered have surfaced. The initial batch features options to transform the Spider-Man model into Black Cat or even Stan Lee, though they currently lack animation, appearing in an A-pose for interesting screenshots.
Additionally, a mod has been released that allows players to toggle the UI off with a simple button press, resulting in a cleaner visual experience. There's also a Symbiote Black Suit mod that replaces the advanced suit with one resembling Venom's iconic look.
One of the most promising developments is a Modding Tool created by modder jedijosh920. This tool aims to simplify the creation and sharing of mods, making it easier for users to install and customize their gaming experience.
Potential PlayStation PC Launcher
A report from VGC hints at the possibility of a PlayStation game launcher for PC. Within the files of Spider-Man Remastered, references to a "PlayStation PC Launcher" were discovered. As Sony continues to re-release more of its games on PC, this idea could be on the horizon, although nothing has been confirmed yet.
