Sonic Frontiers' Sights, Sounds, And Speed DLC Launches This Week

Sonic Frontiers began a new chapter for the blue blur when it launched last year as Sega confirmed the new title is the first in the series' third generation of Games. Frontiers won't begin and end with its launch, though. Sega promised a lot of free DLC coming in 2023 and has now confirmed the first of at least three updates will be available later this week, on March 23.

Sega sent an email to Frontiers players letting them know when the Game's first wave of DLC will be here and also revealed what it will be called (thanks, VGC). The Sights, Sounds, and Speed update. Although the email doesn't clarify what will be included in the update, details revealed via Frontiers' roadmap previously explained what to expect when it's rolled out on Thursday.

The roadmap confirmed the first part of the DLC will include a photo mode, jukebox, and new challenge modes. So photo mode for the sights, jukebox for the sounds, and the new challenges will presumably be connected to how quickly you can complete new tasks. If you already own Frontiers, the DLC, and the two updates coming later this year, are absolutely free and should be applied automatically when it goes live on March 23.

Update number two, which doesn't yet have a release date, will seemingly celebrate Sonic's birthday and introduce a new Open Zone Challenge mode and additional Kocos. The very first Sonic Game launched on June 23, 1991, so it's probably safe to assume update number two will launch on or around that date since it's promised to include some sort of birthday celebration for the hedgehog.

Update number three, which may or may not be the last, will make other characters playable and, most exciting of all, add new story content to the Game. Sega has admitted while sales of Frontiers were better than expected, its review scores were lower than the studio hoped. The higher sales have ensured the next Game in the Sonic series will get a higher budget than Frotniers, though.

The Last Of Us Show Confirms How The Virus Spread

HBO's The Last Of Us is well and truly off and running now, its second episode airing on Sunday night. That episode confirmed a fan theory regarding how exactly the cordyceps fungus was able to spread so quickly. Be warned if you haven't seen the first two episodes of the show, the rest of this article is teeming with pretty significant spoilers. Just hours after the show premiered nine days ago, fan theories started to swirl pointing to contaminated flour being the root of what quickly becomes an effectively world-ending pandemic. That theory was confirmed to be accurate during the opening few minutes of episode two. Another flashback, this time in Indonesia, during which a mycologist examines a flour factory worker infected by cordyceps.

MTG's Phyrexia: All Will Be One Card Lets You Kill Your Opponent In Just Two Turns

Magic: The Gathering’s next set, Phyrexia: All Will Be One, is currently being previewed. While we’ve seen all kinds of big, splashy cards, the one that’s given players the fear is, of all things, a tiny little Goblin Warrior. With just three cards and two lands, Cacophony Scamp can wipe an opponent out as early as turn two. Even more scarily, this combo works in both Modern and Pioneer, where it could give birth to a new take on the deck known as Hammer Time. RELATED: Magic: The Gathering – Phyrexia: All Will Be One Previews As noted on Reddit, Cacophony Scamp is an unassuming 1/1 Goblin Warrior costing just one red mana. It doesn’t have haste, but it does have two big upsides: it can sacrifice itself once it’s dealt combat damage, and when it dies, it deals damage equal to its power to any other target. THEGAMER VIDEO OF THE DAY With these two abilities, Cacophony Scamp becomes an absolute fiend when paired with the Hammer Time staple

Fired WoW Lead Says Blizzard Is Being "Torn Apart" By Bosses

A fired World of Warcraft lead engineer has spoken out after news of his termination was leaked last night. According to both the initial report and his own testimony, Brian Birmingham was fired after he failed to meet a quota on negative employee evaluations, with bosses requiring him to mark down five percent of the coworkers he assessed. Birmingham, who was the lead software engineer on Warcraft Classic, worked at Blizzard for 17 years prior to his dismissal. Now that the news is public, Birmingham is using the opportunity to shed some light on the working conditions within the company, suggesting that little has changed in some areas, even after allegations of abuse in the workplace were made public in 2021.
