Dawnwalker's First Major Patch Brings Easier Mode, Refined Combat, and More

The Blood of Dawnwalker is getting its first big patch in early October, introducing a brand-new, easier Story mode that will replace the current one (the old Story will be renamed Story-renamed) and expanding the difficulty set to five: Story, Story-renamed, Fair, Challenging, and Duelist. The patch also includes major combat tweaks (targeting and camera improvements, and a fix for stun targeting), better escape mechanics with navigation being adjusted, and potential additions like a New Game Plus and new enemies. Performance and balance tweaks are being addressed based on player feedback, and the update is described as being near completion.

Saros Lets You Tailor Difficulty To Your Own Style

Housemarque's Saros adds Carcosan Modifiers—Protections (bonuses) and Trials (nerfs)—unlocked a few hours in to let players customize difficulty with a point-based dial (min -3); you can enable tougher Trials or use Protections to ease runs, and even disable the Second Chance revive, effectively letting you create an unofficial Easy Mode or a brutal challenge without an official option.

Rare Vita Trophy: Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2+ Platinum Earned After 13-Year Grind

Thirteen years after its PS Vita release, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2+ finally has a Platinum trophy owner: PSN user Tqvry, who completed the final mission during a 10-hour livestream. The grind is infamous due to Turbo-difficulty co-op challenges with an AI partner, and a rare in-game bug that allowed a three-on-one boss encounter to be beaten; PSNProfiles notes only a small portion of players have verifiably earned the Platinum, and only this livestream provides undeniable proof.

Marathon’s Makeover: Bungie Tweaks Monetisation and Difficulty After Launch Slump

Marathon’s Steam launch drew a peak around 88k players but has since drifted down into the low‑70k range. To shore up momentum, Bungie is rebasing in‑game currency LUX so a $10 purchase now yields enough for a skin (1,120 LUX), with refunds for affected bundles. An upcoming update will also ease the game’s difficulty by increasing navigation waypoint distance from 10m to 20m, boosting Perimeter loot spawns (Med Cabinets and Munitions Crates), and raising starting ammo for certain free kits, aiming to balance value with challenge and attract a broader audience.
