Games coming 2024

Escrito por: Taylor Duff | Redactor

2024 has officially sprung, and many games have already been released, such as “Tekken 8”, “Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth” and “Alone in The Dark” — but do not fear, as there are eight more months of anticipation to endure as these releases arrive. Headphones on and feet up, let’s start gaming. 

Coming April 2024, “Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes” will be released on PC, PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and Xbox Series X. “Eiyuden Chronicles: Hundred Heroes” is intended to give gamers a new spin on the classic. 

In May, the world will be given a remake of “Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door”, which was originally released in 2004 on the GameCube — with a polished version also being released on the Nintendo Switch. “The Thousand-Year Door” takes place in the town of Rogueport, and the plot is separated into eight chapters and a prologue, with each taking place largely in one of the various locations. Mario travels to Rogueport to visit Princess Peach after learning that she has discovered a map that leads to an old treasure. He quickly discovers that Peach has been kidnapped and a journey is in order. 

In June, a new “Elden Ring” will drop: “Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree” is being released to PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X. “Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree” transports players beyond the Lands Between to the Land of Shadow, a brand-new realm.  

Come July 25, “Frostpunk 2” will be released on PC. Thirty years have gone by since the devastating storm that ended the first chapter of humanity’s survival saga in “Frostpunk”. The city, built around the generator and its life-giving warmth, expanded and progressed over the years. The player takes on the position as Steward, who, as leader of a resource-hungry metropolis, must cope with an ever-changing political atmosphere as the goal shifts from survival to reconstructing civilization.

“Dustborn” is coming August 2024 to PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X. This single-player action-adventure game explores themes such as hope, love, friendship, robotics and the power of discourse. 

Hitting September, it is expected that players will get “STALKER 2: Heart of Chernobyl” on PC and Xbox Series X. “S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chernobyl”, the next installment in the iconic franchise is a first-person shooter survival horror game with a large-scale, branching plot set in the terrifying Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. 

Now, it is not certain what comes of Fall 2024 and if more releases will come sooner as many games are still awaiting release dates. These games include “Little Nightmares 3”, “Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater”, “Star Wars Outlaws” and more. Overall, the selection of games on every platform will keep gamers coming back for more. Happy gaming!

Cinco sitios de juegos en línea para perderse

Cinco sitios web con juegos en línea para combatir el aburrimiento 

Natalie Dean | Editor de entretenimiento

Los juegos en línea son desde hace tiempo un elemento básico de Internet ⏤ con juegos flash de vestir y cambiar de imagen, carreras de coches, concursos de cocina y muchos que provienen de programas como "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody", "Bob Esponja" y "Tom y Jerry". Los juegos en línea como éstos pueden ser una buena forma de quemar algo de tiempo a solas; o, si los niños están aburridos en casa y necesitan algo nuevo que hacer, déjalos explorar los primeros juegos de Internet. 

Antes había muchas otras opciones para jugar a este tipo de juegos, pero debido a las amenazas de seguridad del Flash Player, Adobe sugiere encarecidamente que se desinstale. A partir del 12 de enero, Adobe bloqueó el contenido Flash para que no se ejecutara Flash Player, ya que el programa se encuentra al final de su vida útil. Siempre es inteligente ir a lo seguro y ser cauteloso a la hora de hacer clic en anuncios extraños, enlaces o instalar cosas desconocidas en el ordenador. Dicho todo esto, aquí tienes algunos sitios que permitirán a cualquiera jugar a algunos juegos divertidos:

  1. De entrada, igrezadecu.com tiene otros como "Zack and Cody Pizza Party Pickup Game", "Tom and Jerry Cheese Swipe", "Spongebob Mini Golf" y "Spongebob Rock Collector". 
  2. httml5games.com tiene "Smarty Bubbles", "Badland", "8 Ball Billiards Classic", "Crazy Caves", "Jungle Run", "Archery World Tour", "Solitaire Klondike", "Diamond Rush" y páginas llenas de otras opciones. 
  3. En funnygames.org, está "Fireboy and Watergirl 5", "Tiles", "Phase 10", "Gold Strike" y "Master Chess". Echa un vistazo a este sitio para ver también otros juegos en categorías como aventura y plataformas, acción y lucha, cerebro y cartas, habilidades y multijugador y cartas. 
  4. gameforge.com contiene juegos de navegador y gratuitos, además de un montón de MMORPG (juegos de rol multijugador masivos en línea). Hay muchas categorías alternativas, como bolos, terror, estrategia y juegos de memoria.
  5. Por fin, gamesheep.com es el hogar de "Garden Bloom", "My Little City", "Mad Racer", "Yeti Sensation" y mi favorito personal, "Super Onion Boy".

Lanzamientos de videojuegos para 2020

A timeline of a few video games coming out in October and November 2020

Brianna Lelieur | Editor de entretenimiento

Through the rest of 2020, we are going to be seeing a huge release of new video games — both new and continued installations — to keep us entertained during homebound times. Here’s a list of five games coming out soon to be on the watch for. Happy playing.

  • Amnesia: Rebirth (Oct. 20) – Kickstart the spooky Halloween season with a first-person horror based game. If this game is anything like the previous installments, we can almost guarantee a more intense horror factor that will keep players on the edge of their seats and make them question the things around them.

  • Watchdogs: Legion (Oct. 29) – Set in London, everything within the watchdog’s realm is being monitored by an omniscient surveillance state; the military has its stronghold on the city and crime is at an all time high. The player is introduced to a variety of characters, where they then have to recruit people to join a resistance group to overthrow the system. 
      • The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope (Oct. 30) – The second installment of the Dark Pictures Anthology, “Little Hope,” is a choice-based horror game. The story follows five characters trapped in a ghost town as the player(s) traverse through multiple timelines to unfold the mystery. Like it’s predecessor, “Man of Medan,” the game has two multiplayer features, in which different players take control of certain characters either cooperatively online, or in person.
      • Assassin’s Creed Valhalla (Nov. 10) – The storyline based game takes on nordic themes and culture, and gives the player a chance to play as Eivor, a viking raider. There are various storylines and side missions with the key theme of building a viking army to fight and destroy the Anglo-Saxon Kingdoms. 

      • Cyberpunk 2077 (Nov. 19) – With the initial release date being delayed twice, Cyberpunk is finally being released in November of 2020. It’s a game with vibrant color and details, resembling the same world of “Blade Runner 2049”. A futuristic game based in Night City, California, players get access to an almost unlimited free world, playing as a mercenary named V who is chasing after a cybernetic implant that holds the key to immortality. Everything about the character can be customized, and the world can be thoroughly explored.

        Reconocimiento de tierras de la Western Oregon University
        La Western Oregon University de Monmouth, Oregón, está situada en el territorio tradicional de la tribu Luckiamute de los Kalapuya. Tras el Tratado del Valle de Willamette de 1855 (Tratado Kalapuya, etc.), los kalapuya fueron trasladados a la fuerza a reservas del oeste de Oregón. En la actualidad, los descendientes vivos de este pueblo forman parte de la Tribus Confederadas de la Comunidad Grand Ronde de Oregón y el Tribus Confederadas de los Indios Siletz.
