Players of AEW: Fight Forever are expressing frustration over the game's new Arcade mode, called Beat the Elite, which requires a payment of $6.99 / £5.79 instead of being a free update. Many players argue that the mode should have been included in the base game and criticize the game's struggling player base. Despite receiving a 30-player mode in August, the PC version of AEW: Fight Forever has seen limited concurrent players in the past three months.
A new patch for Final Fantasy 16 will be released this week, but it appears to be a minor update focused on adjustments to Arcade Mode's combat performance evaluation and the addition of a new leaderboard. No other significant improvements are expected, and further details will be provided once the patch is available.
Final Fantasy XVI introduces Arcade Mode, a score-attack feature that allows players to replay certain levels of the game as pure action pursuits. In Arcade Mode, players must execute stylish combos to claim the top spot on the leaderboard, with points awarded for defeating enemies and achieving impressive combos. Completing Arcade Mode does not provide any rewards or experience points for the main game, but it offers a challenge for action game enthusiasts.
Final Fantasy XVI's endgame content includes a New Game+ mode with Final Fantasy Mode and Ultimaniac Mode, a more difficult Arcade Mode, and Chronolith Trials, the most challenging trials in the game. These trials are time trials based on Eikons and contain global leaderboards. The endgame also allows players to upgrade weapons and accessories beyond the initial playthrough. The combat in the endgame is fast-paced and challenging, designed by the combat director of Devil May Cry V.
Dudley makes a small cameo in the Arcade Mode artwork for Street Fighter 6, which features Guile, Luke, and Abigail in a barbershop. While some fans speculated that Dudley became a barber, he is actually shown in a framed picture in the background. Other Street Fighter references are also present in the artwork. Dudley is one of the more requested fighters to return in the new game, but this artwork doesn't feel right for the posh fighter.
Overwatch 2's April Fools Arcade Mode brings chaos with new Ultimate Voice Lines and tweaks to each hero's regular kit. Tank heroes gain Ultimate Charge faster, while damage heroes have new abilities such as flying Reinhardts and self-healing Genjis. Support heroes also receive updates, including Lucio's Soundwave now deflecting projectiles. These changes only impact Arcade Mode games during the April Fools event. Quick Play and Competitive will not be affected.
The Mercenaries DLC mode will be added to the Resident Evil 4 remake for free on April 7th. The mode involves slaying zombies within a time limit and fighting for high scores. It is likely still an arcade mode about score chasing, now using the remake’s visceral combat. The full game is available on Steam for £50/€60/$60, and a free demo is also available.
