Ubisoft has released a new game called Captain Laserhawk: The Game, which is a top-down multiplayer shooter that utilizes NFTs and blockchain technology. It's currently in early access on PC and somehow features Rayman.According to Game File's Stephen Totilo, the game is based on the Netflix show Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix, which itself is based on the Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon spin-off. In Captain Laserhawk: The Game, Rayman is simply the announcer for deathmatches, so he's not actually playable.The game requires players to have a Niji Warrior NFT to play. A Rayman profile picture can also be purchased for 750 virtual coins and attached to your Niji Warrior NFT. That's pretty much the extent of Rayman's involvement in this game. Ubisoft has quietly released this game to little fanfare, as there aren't many social media posts even acknowledging its existence outside of a few Medium posts.Continue Reading at GameSpot

The end of one year and the beginning of another is my favorite time to catch up on the pile of books on my bedside table. In late December, the nights are dark, the cocoa is hot, and the blankets are cozy, making it oh-so easy to sink into the pages of a coffee-table book full of comforting pixel art. By January, I have that annual urge for self-improvement motivating me to learn something new, like the broadly forgotten histories of long-dead gaming companies.Perhaps, if youre like me, then youve begun to sift through the stacks at your local library or surf through your online bookstore of choice. But what to pick? Throughout 2024, I devoured a bounty of gaming books. Ive narrowed the collection down to six that should appeal to every reader, whether you prefer your gaming books oozing with art and design or loaded with academic research and theory.

If you and your Pals are struggling to take down the tower bosses and Alpha Pals in Palworld, it might be time to upgrade your gear with legendary schematics. Legendary schematics can help you get that extra oomph that you need by increasing your damage output or defense.Read on for a full legendary schematics list in Palworld, plus details on where to find and how to get all legendary schematics.How to get legendary schematics in PalworldLegendary schematics can be found in chests or as rare drops from specific Alpha Pal bosses. There is a low chance that youll find a legendary schematic when you open a chest around the map or at the end of a dungeon. As for Alpha Pal bosses, legendary schematics can be received after you catch, defeat, or butcher them.Currently, the most efficient way to find legendary schematics in Palworld is to catch the Alpha Pal and then butcher them with the meat cleaver to essentially double your chances. If you really want to increase your odds, we suggest that you change the following world settings:Day Time Speed 5Night Time Speed 5Pal Capture Rate 2Pal Appearance Rate 3With these settings, Alpha Pals will spawn quicker, be easier to catch, and spawn in multiples of three. If three bosses are too tough to deal with, drop the Pal appearance rate down to a multiplier that youre comfortable with.As a small note, legendary equipment require a lot more resources than your normal quality gear. In some cases, you may need to gather almost 10 times the materials to create your legendary gear.Where to get legendary schematics from Alpha PalsNot every piece of equipment has a legendary schematic with a fixed location, but there are currently 17 fixed legendary schematic locations. Check out the map below to learn where you can find the legendary schematics in Palworld, and peep the table beyond that to see a list of all legendary schematics.There are 21 legendary schematics you can get from Alpha Pals, with one Pal potentially dropping two schematics.

However, unlike the schematics above that can be found both in dungeons and as a drop from Alpha Pals, these can only be found in the big chests on the oil rig in the southeast of the map. The oil rig is a tough area guarded by strong enemies, so it should be treated as an endgame area.That said, the schematics you can find on the oil rig are as follows, courtesy of the Pal Professor (which you should check out to see some specific drop rate information):Quad Missile LauncherMissile LauncherGatling GunGrenade LauncherFlamethrowerLaser RiflePlasteel HelmetPlasteel ArmorLightweight Plasteel ArmorCold Resistant Plasteel ArmorHeat Resistant Plasteel ArmorYou can also find some of the pre-update legendary schematics, like the Assault Rifle or Rocket Launcher, in the oil rig chests.For morePalworldguides, weve got you covered.
