It’s all Greek to me The studio formerly known as Square Enix Montreal has now rebranded as “Onoma” — The name change comes following the outfit’s acquisition by Swedish holding company Embracer Group. In a statement on thestudio’s sparkling fresh website, Onoma reveals that it went through over 160 name suggestions before settling on the new name, which is Greek for “name” and was chosen due to its easy pronunciation in almost any language — most notably French and English, the native languages of the French-Canadian studio....

Going forward, PS4 games can have a ‘PS5 Upgrade Available’ badge on their box

Look for a heads-up near the bottom of the cover How do you know if a PlayStation 4 game has a PS5 upgrade? Look for the badge on the box (maybe). Looking over the box art forImmortals Fenyx Rising, Ubisoft’s take onBreath of the Wild-style open-world adventuring, the game has a “PS5 Upgrade Available” badge – the first I’ve seen of its kind. Publishers are pretty much all doing their own thing with respect to cross-gen graphical and performance upgrades – whether or not they’re free, or paid, and for how long – and this badge is one way of delivering a heads-up that thereisan upgrade, and that you’ll need to hit up Google for details....

I playedTorchlight 2for about an hour at PAX 2011, experimenting with the Outlander (a lithe rogue-esque class) and the Embermage (a ranged magic class) in the game’s second major area. The overworld is randomly generated using large pre-made chunks....

Heroes of the Storm’s Dehaka feels undertuned but fun

Out today with a massive patch Heroes of the Stormhas added the Zerg Warrior Dehaka today, and even though he’s enjoyable, I doubt he’ll shake up the meta much. Dehaka’s kit is enticing. His Q can pull enemies like a more effective Stitches hook; his E burrows to avoid ultimates like Pyroblast and Triple Tap; his W is a fun area-of-effect whirlwind that can walk through enemies to avoid bodyblocking; and every 45 seconds, he can warp to any bush or vent on the map at the cost of not being able to mount....
