VALORANT new map, Riot Fighting Game Project L, Call of Duty sold 400 millions copies, New Star War 【Daily Game News】

Welcome back players! Let’s check out our daily game news！ Yesterday, VALORANT’s official Twitter posted several pictures with the titles (Discover), (Escape) and (Wander). Currently no one know what they are implying. But currently seems to be biased towards holiday resorts, islands, deserted temples and other elements. Also, you can look at the bottom right corner of those image, and found “visit Breeze”. Which direct to the map’s name as Breeze, that does feels like a vacation name!

But no matter how beautiful the map is, it seems to be useless because there are many players are complaining that the “flash” in Valorant is too annoying. Almost every game there are always some characters with tons of flashes and blinded them everywhere, and said that no matter how beautiful the map is, they cannot see anything but a beautiful flashed screen.

Finally, according to multiple sources, the remake of “Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic” is being developed by Aspyr Studios. There have been rumors about this work for a long time, and this time we finally know the name of the studio behind it. Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier mentioned this developer on the MinnMax podcast. At the beginning of the show, they release the news about the previous rumors and told that the remake will not be developed by EA. The host changed the topic at the end, but Schreier still said the name of the studio:

“This is public, and I confirmed that it is Aspyr-the company that ported a bunch of games to “Star Wars: Samurai of the Old Republic”-is making a remake.”
Eurogamer confirmed this, saying it had received similar news, and added: Although the developer is known for making direct transplants, the current progress of the project looks more like a remake.

Aspyr has made ported versions of games such as “Star Wars Episode One” and “Star Wars Jedi Knight 2.” This remake is a change for the developer. There have been rumors that the remake will contain elements of the two old games of “Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic” and bring something into the official story of Star Wars.

“Knights of the Old Republic” is one of the most well-known Star Wars games, developed by the famous BioWare. Earlier this year, Disney, which acquired Lucasfilm, reactivated the Lucasfilm game brand, and all Star Wars game projects were incorporated into the brand’s management. At the same time, EA no longer had the only “Star Wars” game license. At present, the remake of “Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic” has not yet been announced, but after multiple verifications, this news has a decent amount of credibility. There is also news that Aspyr has recruited a large number of former Bioware employees.

That’s all for today and see you next time.
