The game will include the World Cup Qatar 2022 as well as Women's World Cup Australia and New Zealand 2023 modes. ***FIFA 23*** features women's clubs for the first time in series history, officially licensed Women's Super League and Division 1 Féminine. Additionally, they announced a new game mechanic: “Power Shot." Physical modelling has also improved mechanics when player limbs are impacted by the ball and also improved in-game gestures. Cross-play will make its debut with the game, allowing for console and PC gamers to play against each other. -   - - **Mojang, the owners of *Minecraft***, have released a statement confirming they will not sell **NFTs** in the game, saying, “The speculative pricing and investment mentality around NFTs takes the focus away from playing the game and encourages profiteering, which we think is inconsistent with the long-term joy and success of our player."  - **Sony** has acquired **Repeat.gg** with hosts leaderboards for esport tournaments. - **Jagex, the makers of *RuneScape***, has made its first acquisition with the US studio **Pipeworks**, for an undisclosed sum. This will be the second time Pipeworks, which is famed for being a “for-hire” studio, has been sold since it was acquired for $100 million by the SumoGroup two years ago. - **Ubisoft’s** Q1 calendar numbers are down. Income came to €318 million, a -10% decrease on the same period last year. Bookings are also down -10%. - From the 29th August this year, **Nintendo eShop** cards cannot be redeemed for Wii U or 3DS games, and from 27th March 2023, it will no longer be possible to make purchases on Nintendo eShop for the Wii U and 3DS. It will also no longer be possible to download free content, including game demos. - The new **GeForce RTX 4090** is seeing very high benchmark figures suggesting 2x GPU processing power of the RTX 3090. It is expected to release in October. |   ![Artboard 1](https://blog.sparkers.com/hs-fs/hubfs/News%20Mash-up/Artboard%201.png?width=137&name=Artboard%201.png) | ## **New games** | | --- | --- | Week commencing Monday 18 July 2022 | **Date** | **Title** | **Platform(s)** | **Genre(s)** | **Developer(s)** | **Publisher(s)** | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 19 July | As Dusk Falls | Win, XBO,  XSX | Adventure | Interior Night | Xbox Game Studios | |   | Endling: Extinction is Forever | Win, NS,  PS4, XBO | Adventure,  survival | Herobeat Studios | HandyGames | |   | Fallen Angel | NS | Action role-playing | Matrioshka Games | V Publishing | |   | Forza Horizon 5: Hot Wheels | Win, XBO,  XSX | Racing | Playground Games | Xbox Game Studios | |   | Stray | Win, PS4,  PS5 | Adventure | BlueTwelve Studio | Annapurna Interactive | | 20 July | Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance II | Win, Mac,  Lin, NS, PS4, PS5, XBO, XSX | Action role-playing, hack and slash | Black Isle Studios | Interplay Entertainment | |   | Dreadout 2 | PS4, PS5 | Survival horror | Digital Happiness | Digital Happiness | |   | Hazel Sky | Win, NS,  PS4, XBO | Adventure | Coffee Addict Game Studio | Neon Doctrine | |   | Kanda Alice mo Suiri Suru. | PS4 | Visual novel | El Dia | El Dia | |   | Muv-Luv Alternative Total Eclipse Remastered | Win | Visual novel | aNCHOR | aNCHOR | |   | Severed Steel | PS4, PS5 | First-person shooter | Greylock Studio | Digerati | | 21 July | Bail or Jail | Win | Action | Free Style | Konami | |   | Bright Memory: Infinite | NS, PS5,  XSX | First-person shooter, action | FYQD-Studio | Playism | |   | Bunny Must Die!
