Alan Wake gets a Fortnite event. I also discuss performance issues in Cities Skylines 2 and the release of Mortal Kombat Onslaught.

Mortal Kombat Onslaught: A Mobile Revolution
Warner Bros. Games has unveiled its latest innovation in the Mortal Kombat series, aptly named ‘Mortal Kombat Onslaught’. While maintaining its rich legacy and retaining core elements of the franchise, this iteration takes a mobile-first approach, optimizing for both iOS and Android platforms.

Delving into the mechanics of the game, Mortal Kombat Onslaught introduces a fresh twist: team-based combat. This dynamic alteration adds an extra layer of strategy, urging players to consider not just individual fighter capabilities but also how different characters complement one another. The age-old question that has been in every gamer’s mind, myself included, “Have I ever engaged in a Mortal Kombat showdown?”, becomes ever more relevant with this mobile release. The mobile platform offers a convenience that’s unmatched, allowing combat challenges on the go. Leveraging my three-decade-long gaming experience, the nuances in this release are palpable, truly resonating with both long-time fans and newcomers alike.

Further insights and an in-depth look at the game can be gathered from the Official Launch Trailer and a comprehensive review over at VGC.

Cities Skylines 2: Beauty Marred By Performance Hitches
In another segment of gaming news, ‘Cities Skylines 2’, the much-anticipated sequel to the city simulation phenomenon, has raised eyebrows with reports suggesting potential performance glitches at launch. Direct communication from the game’s developer shed light not just on these performance hiccups but also on the continued commitment to mod support — a feature that earned the first Cities Skylines game much acclaim.

The game’s release is on the horizon, with a launch date set for 24th October 2023. As someone who’s been intricately connected with the gaming world for over 30 years, the importance of the Cities Skylines franchise can’t be overstated. For in-depth analysis, enthusiasts can head over to mithrie.com where a comprehensive breakdown awaits. A question beckoning to loyal fans of the franchise is, “Did the inaugural Cities Skylines captivate you?” If so, this sequel, despite its initial challenges, is bound to draw you in. For more on this, the Paradox Forum and the Official Gameplay Trailer are invaluable resources.

Alan Wake Meets Fortnite: A Crossover Extravaganza
In a surprising yet exhilarating twist, the world of Alan Wake merges with Fortnite, bringing forth a gaming experience like no other. Gamers can now traverse the haunting terrains of Bright Falls, immersing themselves in encounters reminiscent of the initial ‘Alan Wake’ adventures. Such an unexpected collaboration stems from a strategic partnership: Epic Games takes the mantle of publishing the sequel, ‘Alan Wake 2’, with a slated release of 27th October 2023.

Being an ardent gamer for decades, witnessing these genre-blending collaborations is truly a sight to behold. The real intrigue lies in the intersection of two diverse fanbases. While some might champion Alan Wake for its narrative depth, others might sway towards Fortnite’s dynamic gameplay. The question to ponder is, “Where do your allegiances lie: Alan Wake or Fortnite?” For a visual treat, Epic Games has rolled out the Alan Wake: Flashback — Created in Fortnite video, a testament to this groundbreaking fusion.
