ESI London


Having graced Washington and Singapore earlier in the year, Esports Insider touched down in London for what was billed as the largest and most ambitious event ever in the ESI calendar. A day of panels exploring the commercialisation and mainstream acceptance of esports was followed by another focused on web3 technologies, climaxing in four hours of axe throwing - which is one way to settle the debate on whether blockchain is a good thing for gaming.

Following the 30-minute Direct we got on the 10th August, Splatoon 3 launched with a host of new features. The game goes all-in on the city that acts as the main hub, making it much bigger than the previous titles, with many more cosmetic items to earn and collect. All multiplayer weapons, maps and abilities return from previous games, and the promise of regular Splatfest events seems a safe and surefire way to keep the game active for longer. The co-op and single player modes look to be full of new features too, meaning that the most approachable competitive game around shouls is even moreso.

Temtem


Humble Games soft launched Crema’s Pokémon-inspired MMO into Steam Early Access all the way back in January 2020, receiving increasingly mixed reviews over the course of the last 18 months due to the supposed lack of things to do. However with the 1.0 full release, players found themselves a new island and a battle pass, designed to occupy the attention of those early adopters eager to explore the game’s endgame content. In addition, of course, Humble can claim bragging rights for beating Pokémon into second place for being the first creature collect-em-all-up to embrace multiplayer.
