Xbox’s official social media channels seem to be teasing something to do with Fable. The main Xbox channel posted a clip to Twitter that moves through a house, following a glittery trail from a controller to a monitor displaying the Xbox Games Showcase art. The Fable games used sparkly breadcrumb trails as a waypoint of sorts and the clip also had some jolly fairytale music on top, leading many to guess that the long-dormant series would finally rear its head again.

Revealed at the start of May, Modus has announced the release date for the upcoming retro-flavoured Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons. It’s launching for PC and consoles on 27th July 2023.
The release date reveal is accompanied by the requisite release date reveal trailer, of course — which you can see above — showcasing the return of Billy and Jimmy in a beat ’em up “with roguelike elements” courtesy of Secret Base, the devs behind Streets of Red.

Tears of the Kingdom players have unearthed yet another infinite duplication glitch just days after Nintendo dropped a patch which removed a number of existing exploits from the game.
As spotted by Games Radar, videos of new new glitch – including this one from YouTuber Kibbles Gaming – began appearing online earlier this week, giving players a new way to infinitely duplicate fused weapons.
With the weapon equipped, players should open the inventory and save the game, then hold the right bumper to prepare a throw, and without letting go, open the map. After this navigate to your adventure log and watch any memory four times in a row. Finally, press the plus button and load the previous save to find the duplicated item lying on the ground.
“I will never understand how anyone has this much time to figure things out like this…but I could never thank then enough either,” replied one viewer. “Honestly, if Nintendo had just removed the degradation system, then all this duplication nonsense wouldn’t even be necessary,” commented another.
According to Kibbles Gaming, the glitch may exist because viewing a memory advances the game by a single frame each time. So watching four memories progresses the game four frames, thus giving Link the time to throw the weapon while tricking the game into thinking that you haven’t.
However, some exploit enthusiasts were less impressed with the newfound glitch. “I shouldn’t have updated my game. The other glitch was way easier,” commented one viewer, echoing the sentiments of other exploit enthusiasts who lamented the golden days of the pre-patch era. Others complained that they couldn’t get the glitch to work for them altogether, or that it wouldn’t work for materials.

Telltale can “no longer sell” the 2008 episodic comedy Strong Bad’s Cool Game For Attractive People, the developer announced in yesterday’s blog post. The studio have apparently lost the rights to the game and the series may or may not be pulled from storefronts soon, based on the slightly unclear wording of their notice.
Featuring Ganondorf VA, Matt Mercer.
The open-world fantasy of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom would lend itself nicely to some tabletop RPG action in the real world, wouldn’t you say? With this exact combination in mind, Nintendo has teamed up with tabletop YouTube channel-turned-multiplatform entertainment company Critical Role to create a special one-shot story set in Tears of the Kingdom’s Hyrule.
The special features an original story scenario and characters, all drawn from Tears of the Kingdom’s world, with none other than Ganondorf voice actor Matt Mercer as game master. It aired yesterday on the Critical Role Twitch and YouTube channels, but have no fear if you missed out because the full video will be available to watch from 1st June at 12pm PT / 8pm BST on YouTube.

The world of pro wrestling slams into an SNES-era RPG with WrestleQuest, which now has a release date of August 8th. Inspired by the older Final Fantasies and Dragon Questies, you’ll be engaging in turn-based brawls and running around in magical pixel realms. But unlike those games, you’ll climb the wrestling ladder from fresh-faced rookie to world champ – instead of the usual RPG trope where you go from a village’s rat-killer to the universe’s god-killer. Watch WrestleQuest’s latest trailer below:

But they’re not quite as rewarding…
Nintendo has already released a number of patches for Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom to improve the overall experience and also stamp out some bugs.
Although item duplication glitches have been targeted in the latest update (Version 1.1.2), players are still uncovering new ones in this latest build. They’re admittedly not quite as easy or anywhere near as rewarding as the earlier ones in terms of how many duplicates get in return.

Bring on Wave 5!
In case you needed a reminder, the top-selling Switch game Mario Kart 8 Deluxe still has another two DLC waves to go in its Booster Course Pass.
This includes Wave Five – containing the Feather and Cherry Cups, and Wave Six – featuring the Acorn and Spiny Cups. We’ve got not any dates yet, but Nintendo’s Canadian Twitter account has kind of provided an update to fans on social media recently, teasing more courses “soon”.

Farworld Pioneers has the side-view construction and interplanetary exploration of Starbound, but adds the colony management of RimWorld. That sort of videogame-maths is useful, but in this instance it obscures the ambition of smooshing two huge games together. You should compensate for my shortcut description by watching the trailer below.
