The creator of Dark Souls, Mr. Hidetaka Miyazaki, has been awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2018 Golden Joystick Awards in London. Miyazaki, best know for his work on the Dark Souls series and Bloodborne, was handed the award by Steve Jackson and Ian Livingston. Miyazaki credits these to individuals as inspiration for his game design work through their Fighting Fantasy gamebooks. Have a read through Hidetaka Miyazaki's acceptance speech below: “It’s such a surprise and an honor to receive this prestigious Golden Joystick Award. I’m quite humbled. This award is not just my award. It goes out to everyone who has worked with me over the years making games, everyone who has shared this passion with me, and so I want to thank again everyone who has collaborated with From Software and everyone in From Software, our publishers, thanks again for everything. Thank you to my family for all of their support, and more than anything, thank you to the players, everyone who has played, enjoyed, and appreciated my games.” Miyazaki went on to thank the players for making this dream a reality: “It’s thanks to you, all the players, that I have been able to carry on making games with the one simple goal of making games that are interesting. And I am so glad to have been able to make games in these exciting times with all of you.” To conclude his speech, Miyazaki assured fans that developer From Software will continue to go strong with future titles: “I plan to carry on making games as long as I am able, and I will do my very best to make sure that they’re games that you will enjoy, so thank you for your continued support in advance. And, coming up very soon, we have Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, which is due to be launched in March, so you can look forward to that.” Miyazaki's next foray into the action-adventure genre is Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, which is set to release on March 22, 2019. Once you've checked out our coverage on Sekiro, be sure to reserve your copy right here. As before, if you have some spare change lying around, why not get yourself the Collectors Edition.

Battlefield V still hasn't officially launched, but some players already have access to the title thanks to the latest marketing push of "early access." Even with that in mind, the game technically hasn't been out for long and there is already post-launch content being unveiled for the game. Oh, and it's free. Developer, DICE has revealed some of the biggest content drops coming to Battlefield V in the near future. In a live stream celebrating the launch of Battlefield V's deluxe edition, DICE announced the release dates for many features teased before the game's launch. The new content is expected to arrive on Tuesday, December 4, 2018. This is when the tank-focused Panzerstorm map will be available to play. The developer showed brief footage of the Belgium-set map, which YouTuber DannyOnPC has clipped for our viewing pleasure. The Practice Range is another addition making its way in the update. DICE managed to show off the mode for a little teaser of what fans can expect. You're able to test out all of the weapons, vehicles, and even control the target dummies to learn the range of the weapons and their characteristics. Vehicle customisation will also be available come December 4, alongside the final War Stories chapter: The Last Tiger. Two days after the update (6 December), the first Tides of War chapter will greet players. We will have to wait and see just what the event will hold, but if my timing of dates is correct, then this should coincide with the Pearl Harbour bombing that took place on December 7, 1941. Other events around that timeline involved British soldiers escaping via submarines and Hitler issuing "Night Fog." So it is safe to assume that Pearl Harbour may be the event of choice from DICE's part. Battlefield V launches on November 20, 2018, but you can get the deluxe edition now for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.

I've been excited about Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden ever since the announcement. In little more than two weeks, we'll finally be able to play the tactical game from The Bearded Ladies. Over the weekend, the pricing for Mutant Year Zero has been updated on all storefronts, and it's a great price point. On Steam, you can grab the Standard Edition for as little as R 205.00. The Deluxe Edition, on the other hand, will probably be the better deal. This includes the game, soundtrack, artbook, and the Mutant Year Zero pen-and-paper RPB Book. But, the most important part of this edition is the immediately playable demo and the three-day early access to the game. The Deluxe Edition will set you back R329.00. The console versions of the game are a fair bit more expensive, but to be fair, the Microsoft Store and PlayStation Store have never been able to match Steam in pricing. On the PlayStation Store, the game will cost you R 549.00 and the Microsoft Store will charge R 589.00. Other than the pricing, there has been no mention of download sizes. Gamepass owners can play the game as soon as it releases on Xbox One. A Nice little incentive for the holders of this pass. Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden is set to release on December 4th on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. We've been following the game for a while now. You can head on over to the Nexus to have a look at all things Mutant Year Zero related. If you're planning on getting the game on either console, be sure to top up your PS Store, and Xbox Live account, right here.
