Here’s your news for Friday the 17th of April.
Xbox Game Pass added two great games this week, starting with The Long Dark for console and PC. In this thoughtful, survival exploration experience you’ll be challenged not only by preying wolves, bears, and angry moose, but also by the chilly wilderness. Players can choose either to embark upon a narrative multi-episode story, or a survival sandbox mode. Also added this week is Machinarium for PC, a quirky graphic puzzle adventure that will leave you charmed and perhaps mystified.
Today, we’re traveling to Bikini Bottom to meetup with our pals Spongebob, Patrick, and Sandy who are here to let us know that Spongebob Squarepants: Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated will be launching on June 23rd. Just in time for beach season, this full remake of the classic game sports countless characters from the beloved series, restored content that was cut from the original game, and an all-new horde multiplayer mode. And for a limited time, pre-order to get 10% off.
Next, Overwatch just dropped their 32nd hero, named Echo! This new addition to the lineup has the ability to fly and duplicate enemies’ skillsets.
Finally, DC Universe Online is getting a new episode today, titled Episode 37: Birds of Prey. The new story is focused around the characters Oracle, Black Canary, Harley Quinn, and Poison Ivy.
Thanks for listening and have a great weekend.
