During the September 2019 PlayStation State of Play, Techland and Piccolo Studio revealed a new title called Arise. The trailer describes Arise “a simple story,” and it focuses on a single man’s journey through a bizarre world. The player character is an old, bearded man wearing a variety of furs to keep him warm in the frozen tundra. It’s not clear what he’s looking for, but the trailer makes it seem like he’s returning to his lost tribe or family. The State of Play presentation didn’t offer a

Bandai Namco is holding a … unique … launch celebration for Code Vein: a blood drive. (If you haven’t guessed, Code Vein has vampires — vein, blood … get it?) (At the time of writing, the site has “no online appointments available.”)Though it certainly feels weird to trade blood for a video game, the Code Vein blood bank event is for a good cause.

When the spooky Pokémon is in its Origin Forme (the one that looks like a snake), it’s the strongest ghost-type DPS in the game, even with the release of fifth generation Pokémon. Altered Forme is mainly good for PvP, but is worth having for your Pokédex. Altered Forme Giratina is back in raids until Oct. 17 at 4 p.m. ET and it’s looking likely that Origin Forme Gir
