It might be a Sunday, but it hasn’t been a quiet day in the gaming world. With The International final, we saw two of 🔥the best Dota 2 teams duke it out for the top spot. We also got a release date for Rainbow Six Extraction - a little earlier than Ubisoft intended. Unfortunately, however, our first story of the dඣay was a reminder of how toxic the community can be, as we got an update from the developers of Abandoned.

Idiot Gamers Send Death Threats To Blue Box Over Game They Haven't Played
The first big news story of the day was a disappointing one. Apparently “don’t send death threats you absolute pricks” is something that needs to be said, because gamers have been hurling abuse - both online and in-person - at the team a🥂t Blue Box Studios. The developer - best known for an unreleased horror game that everyone thought was actually Silent Hill - made a plea on Twitter tඣhis morning, asking the abusers to stop sending them death threats for the sake of their wellbeing. Blue Box also made it clear that if the threats continue from now on, any information will be turned over to the authoriti🦹es.

Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl Dataminer Uncovers Alternate Costumes For The Whole Roster
Moving over to another fighting game, we have more news on a future Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl update. One of the criticisms levied against the platform fighter was the lack of homage paid to its source material, but that could all be about to change. As discovered by a dataminer, there are references to ꦜalternate costumes in the game’s code. As you’d expect, they’re mostly centred around iconic episodes from various Nickelodeon show, which include Spongebob’s Smitty Werbenjagermanjensen hat (only real one꧅s remember), and Aang getting a hat from the Avatar episode "Imp🐷risoned".
Rainbow Six Extraction Is Releasing January 20, According To Updated Press Page
Either this was a mistake, or we are witnessing the most nonchalant release date announcement in gaming history. An updated blog post on the Ubisoft website revealed that Rainbow Six Extraction is sticking to its early 2022 release window, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:launching January 20 of next year. It’s likely that Ubi has a real announcement coming soon, and it’s simply a case of a blog post getting published earlier than intended. In any case, this means the game probably won’t🐽 have another big delay, if the publisher is confident enough to put𝄹 a specific date on it now. Extraction - initially titled Quarantine - was originally set to be with us September of this year, but was pushed back in the summer.
