The Mafia series has been out of commission for quite a while now, with the lukewarm reception of Mafia 3 turning fans away. It looks like we’re going back to basics, however, with the surprise announcement of Mafia: The Old Country to close out the first night of Gamescom.
While details are still rather sparse about this apparent reimagining of the Mafia franchise, we’ll be playing at an undisclosed point in 1900s Sicily, bringing the Italian roots even closer to the core of the experience. Could we be partaking in the earliest forming of what would later be known as the Mafia, or has this family already been established? We’ll need to tune in sometime in December 2024 for more details about this new addition to the Mafia family.
While plenty of players didn’t exactly love the tonal shift of Mafia 3, I still thought it was a strong addition to the franchise, offering some of the best characters that the series had to that date. And the twist ending? Mama Mia, that was a spicy meatball. However, it still paled in comparison to the first two games, and I’m hoping that Mafia: The Old Country can rekindle the magic that Hangar 13 had the first time around. This seems like an offer we can’t refuse.
Featuring plenty of religious imagery in its first-look trailer, we can expect that faith and family will have plenty to do with the motivations behind the currently unknown family that we’ll be a part of. I’m already drooling thinking about the setting, especially since Hangar 13 has been known to create some of the most dense and detail-rich open worlds that we’ve seen on any generation of systems. Let’s just hope that they don’t massacre our boy this time around, shall we?
Mafia: The Old Country does not have a release window yet, but will be available on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC.
Dune: Awakening looks to be one of the most promising MMOs of all time, placing players directly on the sands of Arrakis while offering a plethora of… interesting ideas. Thanks to Gamescom, we’ve learned more information about this upcoming title in the Dune universe, and one feature caught my eye in particular.
One specific feature caught my ears at the right time, so I needed to swing around just to make sure that I heard that right, and I actually did. An item called the Blood Purifier can be used to turn the harvested blood of your enemies into drinkable water, and that’s not even the wildest thing that was shown today. Joinable factions, small scale wars, player intractability, classes and more were showcased, and Dune: Awakening continues to look more phenomenal than ever before.
While there is likely still even more to be revealed before its release, Dune: Awakening is slowly becoming one of my most anticipated games. Every time it’s shown off, it looks more and more promising, and with the promise of being able to pledge your alliance to your favorite House while drinking the actual blood of your enemies, this one looks like it’s going to be a wild ride.
Beyond all of the new features shown off during Gamescom, we also finally got an idea of when we’ll be able to jump into the world of Dune: Awakening, with a PC release set to embark into the world unknown in Early 2025. While there is still a chance that this could be moved once again, I’m already eager to upgrade my PC a bit more to experience Arrakis in its full glory.
In what may be one of the strangest promotions of all time, Roblox players can purchase a ticket for the upcoming Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice before it hits theaters on September 6, 2024. By loading into a Roblox experience called Beetlejuice: Escape The Afterlife, you can play some cheezy mini-games, earn points to put toward UGC, and give your location information to Warner Brothers to purchase a movie ticket via Fandango.
While Michael Keaton’s Beetlejuice character may be about a million times more frightening in Robloxian form, players can explore a miniature version of the beloved film set by jumping into this experience, as well as secure a ticket for the upcoming film. There are a few questions, though; do people that play Roblox religiously even know who Beetlejuice is? Are there security risks when purchasing a movie ticket through a strange Roblox experience? Only time will tell, I guess.
If you’re eager to give this a try, you’ll just need to enter the experience, and shrink down into the miniature version of Winter River — you can’t miss the massive Fandango theater in the middle of the town. There are even plenty of Robloxians already lining up to hand over their cash to see this movie while countless player characters completely ignore the elephant in the room. Seems that players are mainly just looking to score some free UGC instead of purchasing movie tickets.
As the release date nears closer, I might give this a try for the meme. It’s an interesting gimmick, especially since there is a full world built around it that doesn’t require you to pay a cent to get in. A digital amusement park dedicated to a cult-classic horror/comedy icon may sound like a dream come true, but this may be more of a nightmare when everything is said and done.
If it goes how I’m expecting, I’ll be in a dark room saying “Credit Karma” three times while I’m trying to get my identity back.

What Exactly Is Sakura Stands?
Sakura Stands is an action game, based loosely on the JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure franchise. Players will be able to power themselves up, as well as earn plenty of unique and powerful allies from not only this franchise, but others such as Jujutsu Kaisen and more. Players can also partake in PVP battles, either in a group or via 1 on 1 battle that can be prompted at any time.
Those searching for a new action title that have tired from other experiences, such as Blox Fruits may fall in love with this title. It offers quite a competitive nature, and plenty of things to do, such as side quests and a story to follow alongside.
Roblox is available now on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Mobile Devices, and PC.
As players explore Elden Ring, you’ll come across NPCs that can change the whole experience for you, offering quests and abilities to learn new skills that can completely alter the way you play forever. One of these NPCs, Sorceress Sellen, offers you a great questline if you decide to learn from her, but is it worth your time?
Should You Learn From Sellen?
As you begin your quests in Limgrave, you’ll come across Sorceress Sellen in the Waypoint Ruins in the eastern part of West Limgrave. She will appear after defeating Mad Pumpkin Head, and is located near the Site of Grace titled “Waypoint Ruins Cellar“. As she sends you on her questline, you’ll fight enemies and fetch items for her, and once you complete this quest, she will open her Sorceries Shop, allowing you to spend Runes to unlock new types of Magic.
For players working on a Magic-based Build, her shop can aid you to get some powerful spells quite early in the game, especially if you’ve tracked down the Scrolls that are required to get some of the better spells, like the Conspectus Scroll to unlock Glintstone Cometshard. If you take the time to help her out, you’ll find yourself rewarded quite well.
However, if you are going for a Melee Build, her unlocks may come to little use for you, unless you are aiming to 100% your run. Her questline does send you to some interesting locations, so it may be worth your time for the chance to explore some new parts of the world, ultimately culminating in you choose if you wish to challenge Sellen to a battle, or assist her in fighting the Witch-Hunter Jerren in the Grand Library.
Choosing to assist Sellen and defeating Jerren will also reward the player with the following items:
Eccentric’s Hood
Eccentric’s Armor
Eccentric’s Breeches
Eccentric’s Manchettes
If you instead side with Castellen Jerren and challenge Sellen, you’ll be rewarded with the following:
Witch’s Glintstone Crown
Sellen’s Bell Bearing
No matter which option you choose, you’ll find out that once you learn from this Sorceress, she’ll be happy to start Sellen you anything you need to help you in your journey and help you learn some great new Magic along the way.
Elden Ring is out now for the PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series X/S, and PC.
