Walmart has revealed the dates for its big, new summer sale event, Walmart Deals. It’s not the most creative name for a sale, but at least it’ll be easy to remember. This year’s Walmart Deals event will take place from Monday, July 8, through Thursday, July 11. Though Amazon hasn’t revealed this year’s dates for Prime Day, we know it’ll take place in July. Walmart is the first major retailer to announce a Prime Day 2024 competing sale, but it certainly won’t be the last.

While the sale will be accessible to all customers, Walmart+ members can access the discounts starting at 9 am PT/Noon ET. All non-members will gain access to the deals five hours later at 2 PM PT / 5 PM ET. Normally, Walmart+ costs $13/month or $98/year, but new members can sign up for a 30-day free trial of Walmart+ and get early access to the Walmart Deals event without having to pay for a subscription. Members get free online shipping, free local delivery on orders of $35 or more, the ability to have your returned items picked up from your home, a Paramount+ streaming subscription, and other exclusive discounts.

Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus is one of the best video-game adaptations in the series to date, and if you’re itching for more turn-based combat in the grimdark universe, you’re in luck. Announced at Warhammer Skulls 2024, Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus 2 is coming to consoles and PC with two full campaigns.

Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus 2 will let you play as either the “acolytes of the Omnissiah”–the Machine God–or as the “ancient and deathless Necron legions,” according to the official announcement. The two factions will come into direct conflict as Vargard Nefersha wakes from “millenia of slumber” to launch an all-out attack on the Adeptus Mechanicus. It’s up to you, of course, to choose which side you’ll join, at least until you play through the other campaign.

Activision has published a 25-page white paper exploring the impact of skill-based matchmaking (SBMM) on its multiplayer lobbies, determining that SBMM is better for all players.
As spotted by indie game developer and consultant Rami Ismail, the report – which can be read in full on Activision’s official website – outlines an “amazing A/B test” where Activision “secretly progressively turned off SBMM and monitored retention… and turns out everyone hated it, with more quitting, less playing, and more negative blowouts”.

Monster Train, the acclaimed roguelike deckbuilder from developer Shiny Shoe, is making its way to PlayStation 5 today, 25th July, some four years after its original release.

Monster Train sees players attempting to restore Hell’s inferno after it freezes over – a task requiring them to ride a train carrying a burning pyre deep into the heart of Hell.

At first glance, it’s all a bit Slay the Spire, with branching pathways providing choices on how to progress and level up each run. But the proper fun comes in combat, where the real-time card battling sees players unleashing their hellish minions against the forces of heaven – gradually moving between multiple floors of the titular train as they try and defend the pyre on top to win.

The development team behind Assassin’s Creed Shadows has apologised for elements in the game’s marketing campaign so far that have jarred with some Japanese fans – and said the game will “keep evolving” as it heads towards launch in November.

Ubisoft’s statement, released via social media today in both English and Japanese, is fairly unspecific about what exactly it is apologising for – other than noting that “some elements in our promotional materials have caused concern within the Japanese community”.

Earlier this month, Ubisoft apologised for artwork featured in the game’s Collector’s Edition that included the logo of a modern day re-enactment group.

The Covid pandemic and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine were the biggest setbacks in development of Baldur’s Gate 3, said CEO Swen Vincke.

Speaking to Edge magazine, Vincke discussed how Larian closed a studio in St Petersburg, Russia, and was “fighting with embassies” to relocate staff.

“I had already thought about what we were going to do if it actually happened,” said Vincke. “So the decision was instant: we can’t stay there. We needed to move people away because, as these things go, you can almost predict that eventually there’s going to be a mobilisation, and that meant that all my team was going to go to war.”
