Palworld Arena Is A PvP Arena That Allows You To Fight Other Players
Developer Pocketpair has revealed Palworld Arena, a new Arena mode coming to the popular “Pokémon With Guns” survival game sometime this year. Pocketpair briefly pulled back the curtains on Palworld Arena during today’s Triple-i Initiative Showcase, which is where we saw some of the gameplay from the arena in action.
If the trailer is any indication, it appears to support splitscreen co-op and gives players the chance to fight head-to-head in an arena to see whose party of Pals is the strongest.
Check it out for yourself in the Palworld Arena trailer below:

“The Pal Arena makes its way to Palworld in 2024,” the trailer’s description reads. “Battle against other players, pitting both yourself and your pals against them. Train the strongest Pals and defeat all your rivals.”
That’s all we know about the Palworld Arena, but since it’s arriving this year, we might not have to wait too much longer to learn more.
In the meantime, catch up on all things Palworld with Game Informer’s Palworld primer, and then read about the latest update, which added the first Raid boss to the game alongside additional Pal and base changes, and more.

V Rising Gets Castlevania DLC Next Month On PC, PS5 Later This Year
V Rising rises from its Early Access coffin to launch into 1.0 on May 8 on PC. That same day, it will get a premium pack of Castlevania DLC. Dubbed V Rising: Legacy of Castlevania, this DLC includes new cosmetics that allow you to take on the aesthetics of hair, clothing, and forms of Konami’s Castlevania franchise, and it will give players the chance to fight Simon Belmont, too.
As for what to expect, the Legacy of Castlevania Premium Pack will give players Alucard’s Cloak, Alucard’s Coat, Alucard’s Leggings, Alucard’s Gloves, and Alucard’s Boots. “The complete set can be crafted in-game when you unlock the tailor bench,” the DLC’s Steam description reads. “It costs cloth and coarse thread to make and is purely cosmetic. Using the new armor customization feature, you can don the garb of the Vampire Prince at any level of your vampire journey.”

Sketchy Fables Is A Hand-Drawn First-Person Adventure Made With 10,000 Drawings
Sketchy Fables is a hand-drawn, first-person adventure created by solo developer Alle Jong using 10,000 drawings. And it’s something you simply have to see, whether you’re interested in first-person exploration games or not, because it’s a sight to behold.
As someone who cannot draw, I’m always fascinated (and impressed) with people who can. That Jong was able to create an entire game using 10,000 drawings is all the more fascinating, and if the trailer below is any indication, it’s a game I can’t wait to check out.
Watch the Sketchy Fables gameplay trailer for yourself below:

There’s not much more information to find about the game. Its Steam description reads, “Sketchy Fables is a first-person exploration adventure.” Diving into the details of the Steam listing, Jong says it plays like an interactive cartoon and features a diverse game environment to explore full of villages and rural landscapes.
It’s also “focused on personal exploration with many random encounters and discoveries,” according to the page.
As for when Sketchy Fables hits PC, that remains unknown, but it’s a game we’re keeping our eyes on so hopefully we’ll have more to share sooner than later.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance Developer Warhorse Studios To Announce New Game Next Week
Warhorse Studios, the developer of Kingdom Come: Deliverance, has announced plans to reveal its next game. The wait won’t be long, as it’s happening next week.
On Thursday, April 18, at 8 p.m. CEST/11 a.m. PT/2 p.m. ET, the Czech studio will reveal whatever it has cooking on its YouTube and Twitch channels. This will be Warhorse’s second title; the studio debuted with the 2018 cult favorite medieval RPG Kingdom Come Deliverance.
It’s anyone’s guess what Warhorse has in store, but there’s a solid chance the new game is a Kingdom Come sequel. Despite receiving mixed reviews at launch, it has gained a passionate following, and it was ported to Switch last month.
In the meantime, you can read our review of Kingdom Come: Deliverance here.
