Helldivers 2 Coming February 8 and Specs Announced

In anticipation of Helldivers 2 releasing next month, we now know what PC requirements players will be needing as a good baseline to play. For minimum specs we are looking at a recommended 8gb of ram and GTX 1050 ti or equivalent. Not too bad for a next gen game, which should help more people reach the game on lower end PC’s. The size of the game is a bit large at 100gb but hopefully with the reduced pricing of large storage ssd’s, that shouldn’t be a stop gap for too many people. If you want to see a few new features for the game, check out this PC overview trailer here.
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown Release January 18th

It's been a while since a notable Prince of Persia was released, so Lost Crown should be a great new addition to the series. This side scrolling RPG will be implementing platforming with time stopping elements found in the previous games. Think old-school Castlevania with Persian mythological enemies and the famous Sands of Time to help you on your journey. Keep an eye out for this to drop next week!
Cyberpunk Sequel: Orion

As the new year begins, CD Projekt Red will begin to shift its focus from Cyberpunk 2077 to their upcoming sequel, Orion. In a recent tweet from Cyberpunks narrative director, Igor Sarzyński stated “First day in the Boston office! So good to meet old friends and officially kickstart our Orion journey. I couldn't be more excited for this project and I'm sure we can make it something special. 2077 was just a warm-up.” I think we can all agree that the statement may be slightly controversial following the horrific launch of the game itself back in 2020. They did, however, have a solid comeback with the release of several updates and the latest DLC, Phantom Liberty. We are certainly curious to see how the sequel will evolve from the so-called "warm-up" of Cyberpunk 2077.
