God of War: Ragnarok release date update, still coming in 2022

0

After the successful release of Horizon Zero Dawn: Forbidden West, Sony is giving hints for another big release. When the whole web is waiting for its blockbuster game God of War: Ragnarok, guess what happened today?

God-of-War-2

Let me clear that there’s no official statement posted by the brand on when are they coming up with the latest season. However, the gaming community gained spark after what happened on Reddit today! Do you remember Jason Schreier, Bloomberg’s journalist and your favorite Sony insider? Yes him!

God-of-War

Jason confirmed via Reddit that the game is still on track and expected to release sometime in 2022. It all happened in a community post where the gaming community group called GamingLeaksAndRumours subreddit asked the members if they also felt that the game would be in 2023. Jason appeared unexpectedly and responded to the statement with a simple “nope”. He also marked the statement as a rumour.

God-of-War

If this is true and the game is seriously coming in this year, then it’s a blessing in disguise for all the gaming lovers (including myself) who already believed that it’s destined to be postponed. If launched this year, the game is definitely going to make it to the PS5’s 2022 major release, at least in my opinion.
Well, delays can still be expected, but this confidence of expecting Kratos and Atreus at the year’s end is just what we needed!

Rooter, an Indian game streaming platform, revealed today that it had purchased the media rights to all of Skyesports’ IPs for the next year, in one of the largest media rights agreements in esports history. Skyesports is South Asia’s largest esports tournament organiser, with competitions held under its own IPs.

All of Skyesports’ unique competitions will be televised exclusively on Rooter in the future. The events will be streamed in Hindi, English, Tamil, Bengali, Kannada, Malayalam, and Telugu, in keeping with Skyesports’ and Rooter’s goal of making esports and game streaming as accessible as possible. Viewers who tune in to Skyesports tournaments on Rooter will also be eligible for exclusive rewards.

Rooter

Rooter, dubbed the “Twitch of India,” already has a large user base in India, with over 35 million downloads on Google Play and Apple’s App Stores. By leveraging Skyespots’ massive audience base, the platform will be able to further delve into the esports market. Skyesports attracted more than 200 million viewers across all of its competitions last year, with the Skyesports Championship 3.0 BGMI Finals setting a new concurrent viewership record of 221,000.

Throughout the year, Rooter will produce new material based on Skyesports’ IPs to provide fans with more amusement.

Dipesh Agarwal, Co-Founder and COO, Rooter said, “Skyesports is renowned for hosting some of the major esports tournaments in the country. Teaming up with a platform redefining Indian esports, this comes as a landmark deal for both entities. Rooter is the fastest growing gaming platform in India and we will help Skyesports reach millions of fans who will get the best esports content exclusively on Rooter. We also look forward to working with Shiva and the rest of the team to provide multiple engagement opportunities for fans with esports teams on Rooter’s platform.”

Nvidia hackers now targeted Samsung! 19GB of Confidential Data leaked

0

The same organisation that attacked Nvidia last week is said to have hacked Samsung. According to a report, the hacker gang – named LAPSUS$ – published about 190 GB of sensitive data and code from a number of Samsung projects, including biometric data, source code for Samsung’s activation servers, and “complete source code for technologies used for authorising and authenticating Samsung accounts.”

Photos of C/C+ commands in Samsung software were also disclosed, and the data collected as a result of the leak was then shared on torrent sites.

Samsung is purportedly “assessing the problem,” but has not acknowledged whether a ransom demand has been received. At this point, it’s unknown whether consumer information has been compromised or not.

As per the reports, LAPSUS$ claims to have leaked “confidential source code from Qualcomm,” too, and “algorithms for all biometric unlock operations” as well. But the authenticity of these claims has not been confirmed; the South Korean giant consumer electronics company hasn’t responded to a request for comment.

LAPSUS$ also allegedly leaked source code linked to Nvidia’s DLSS technology, and after the business failed to answer to a ransom demand, the group attempted to offer a tool that it claimed could overcome cryptocurrency mining constraints on modern graphics cards for $1 million.

Last week, Nvidia was purportedly “totally infiltrated” by a cyber-attack. Nvidia’s internal services, including email and development tools, have been down since last week due to a criminal network intrusion.

Last year, Nvidia’s cloud gaming service GeForce Now was datamined and hacked, revealing a list of upcoming PC games, many of which have since been launched or confirmed.
