Killer Inn is Square Enix's new ‘murder mystery action' game
In a Killer Inn match, 24 players are divided into two teams of 'wolves' and 'lambs,' and it's the job of the lambs to discover and kill all the wolves or for the wolves to kill the lambs. (Just to be clear, you play as humans, but with the title of wolves or lambs.) When wolves kill a lamb, they'll leave clues like a piece of hair or clothing that the lambs can use to try and identify the wolves.
Killer Inn is coming to PC, and it will be getting a closed beta 'soon.' You can apply for the beta on the game's Steam page.

Today's Wordle #1504 Hints And Answer For Friday, August 1st
Looking for Thursday's Wordle hints, clues and answer? You can find them here: How To Solve Today's Wordle It's August and it sort of feels like the world is hurtling toward a very bad time. Maybe I should say, A Very Bad Time for emphasis. The AI-apocalypse is upon us, and I'm not sure what that means for me, for the internet as we know, for all sorts of industries. Add to that the general instability in politics and global economics, the various wars, acts of terror and violence and...I'd just really like to travel back in time to the 90s and put a kibosh on the whole thing. Nothing faster than dial-up internet. No smart-phones. Hell, maybe just analog-only when it comes to technology. I don't mean to be all doom and gloom, but I'm genuinely concerned at this point. If AI kills the internet, I'll have to find a new line of work. Not looking forward to starting all over at 44, to be honest. But enough of that. It's 2XP Friday and we have a Wordle to solve. Let's solve it. FEATURED | Frase ByForbes™ Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The Phrase Pinpoint By Linkedin Guess The Category Queens By Linkedin Crown Each Region Crossclimb By Linkedin Unlock A Trivia Ladder Wordle is a daily word puzzle game where your goal is to guess a hidden five-letter word in six tries or fewer. After each guess, the game gives feedback to help you get closer to the answer: Use these clues to narrow down your guesses. Every day brings a new word, and everyone around the world is trying to solve the same puzzle. Some Wordlers also play Competitive Wordle against friends, family, the Wordle Bot or even against me, your humble narrator. See rules for Competitive Wordle toward the end of this post. Today's Wordle Hints And Answer Wordle Bot's Starting Word: SLATE My Starting Word Today: CHAIR (92 words remaining) The Hint: Stringed instrument. The Clue: This Wordle ends in a vowel. Okay, spoilers below! The answer is coming! . . . Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here. CHAIR was a really good starting word, leaving me with just 92 remaining solutions and two yellow boxes. I tried juggling these with ANGEL but that only slashed the solutions down to 27. NASTY wasn't much better, leaving me with 6. Talk about blowing all my luck. MANOR left me with just two, but I only came up with BANJO. Thank goodness. If the answer had been PANKO it would have taken me six tries! The Bot beat me by one point in July. We start over fresh in August, but I'm off to a rough start. I lose 1 point for guessing in 5 and 1 point for losing to the Bot. That's -2 x 2 = -4 points! The Bot gets 1 point for beating me and 0 for guessing in four, for a total of 2 points. Not how I wanted to start things out this month. Erik: -4 points Wordle Bot: 2 points The Bot wins this month, though just barely. On Friday, we'll start over at zero. Oh well. The word "banjo" likely comes from "banja" or "bania", terms used by enslaved Africans in the Caribbean and North America to describe similar stringed instruments of African origin. Its exact linguistic roots are uncertain, but it may derive from a West African language, possibly Mandinka or Kimbundu. The instrument itself evolved in the Americas, blending African design with European influence. The term was first recorded in English in the mid-18th century.

Battlefield 6 gets an October 10 release date
To view this content, you'll need to update your privacy settings. Please click here and view the "Content and social-media partners" setting to do so. Fall is often first-person shooter season, and looks like this year's release calendar will include the next entry in the Battlefield series. Battlefield 6 is launching on October 10, and will be available to play on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC via Steam, Epic Games and the EA Play app. The previous trailer for the first-person shooter only showed content from the game's single-player campaign. While there have been some solid stories in the Battlefield franchise, the main draw for many fans is the sprawling multiplayer matches, which were the focus of today's new trailer and livestreamed event. The signature Conquest, Rush and Breakthrough modes will return in Battlefield 6 , as well as typical FPS fare such as Team Deathmatch, Squad Deathmatch, Domination and King of the Hill. The new game mode coming this fall is called Escalation, where teams will face off to control and hold several capture points. On the map front, there are new locations in Egypt, Gibraltar, Tajikistan and Brooklyn, plus at least one familiar one: a remake of Operation Firestorm from Battlefield 3. There will be four familiar classes for players to choose from: Assault, Support, Recon and Engineer. Other tweaks showcased in the multiplayer content unveiled today include a new Drag and Revive option, where downed teammates can be lugged to a safer spot before you rez them, and an option for wall-mounting weapons for less recoil. There will also be plenty of opportunities for high-tech environmental destruction between the tanks, rocket launchers, aerial assaults and drone-mounted explosives. Or you can keep it simple and smash stuff with a really big hammer. If you can't wait until October 10 to get into the combat, Battlefield 6 will have two open beta weekends on August 9-10 and August 14-17. It's encouraging for fans to see some solid news about the upcoming game after an investigation by Ars Technica surfaced some concerning problems with its development and with AAA gaming at large.
