The upcoming remastered PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of Arkane Studios’ first-person stealth action game Dishonored will be available at a significant discount for players who purchased the original Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of the game, publisher Bethesda announced this week.

The discount currently appears in the PlayStation Store for users who own the digital PlayStation 3 version of Dishonored, dropping Definitive Edition‘s pre-order price to just $20. The game normally retails for $40. Players who picked up a free copy of Dishonored when it was offered via the subscription-based PlayStation Plus service in April are eligible for the promotion as well.

Bethesda notes that the offer will also apply for Xbox One owners who purchased the Xbox 360 version of Dishonored digitally. While boxed copies of Dishonored are not eligible for the digital-only promotion, a Bethesda representative told Eurogamer that retailers may have similar trade-in incentives for players looking to upgrade when Definitive Edition launches next month.

Announced at E3 alongside an upcoming sequel, Dishonored: Definitive Edition upgrades the core Dishonored campaign with “enhanced graphics that take full advantage of the powerful hardware of this generation.” The package also bundles all previously released add-on content, including the challenge maps and items featured in the Dunwall City Trials and Void Walker’s Arsenal DLC.

Definitive Edition additionally includes the two-part campaign expansion featured in The Knife of Dunwall and The Brigmore Witches DLC released in 2013. Running in parallel to Dishonored‘s core storyline, these bonus chapters put players in control of assassins’ guild leader Daud, and explore story elements left ambiguous in Dishonored‘s single-player campaign.

Originally released in 2012 for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC platforms Dishonored equips players with an array of powerful stealth weaponry and supernatural skills that can be used to infiltrate the game’s environments undetected. Gameplay progresses throughout a series of assassination missions, and players have the option of either silently taking out their targets or invading their hiding spots by force. Notably, it’s possible (though very challenging) to complete the game without actually killing anyone.

Dishonored: Definitive Edition premieres for the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 on August 25.

The main campaign of Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is already packed with content right out of the gate, but Team Ninja has opted to expand upon an already substantial offering with DLC. Similar to the game's first additional content drop, Battle of Zhongyuan, the game's second DLC, Conqueror of Jiangdong, brings extra levels and difficulty settings, a new weapon you can wield against your foes, plenty of armor to grind for, and even an entirely new endgame activity. When you're ready to dive in and get at it, here's how to start Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty's Conqueror of Jiangdong DLC.
How to start the Conqueror of Jiangdong DLC
Before you can begin the Conqueror of Jiangdong DLC, you'll need to first buy the content via your platform's respective storefront either as a standalone purchase or as part of the Season Pass. You can then download the small patch that unlocks the DLC's levels and other goodies in-game. The next step is to open the game and load up your save.

In order to access the Conqueror of Jiangdong missions, you'll have to first be sure you've progressed far enough into the game's main campaign to have completed the ninth mission "Darkness over the Hanshui River." Afterward, you should notice that an additional section called “Ex 2” is available in your missions list. By scrolling over to it, you can begin tackling all of the new content, which includes multiple main missions and sub-battlefields that are exclusive to the DLC.

Fu Xuan might be small, but she is mighty. The pink-haired woman leads the Xianzhou Luofu's Divination Commission and represents one of the Six Charioteers, the six leaders of the Xianzhou Luofu. Known as the Master Diviner, she has a reputation as one of the most powerful figures onboard the ship. A character's role doesn't necessarily translate to how well they perform in battle. Thankfully, in Fu Xuan's case, it does.

Fu Xuan is the latest 5-star character to debut in Honkai: Star Rail 1.3. You only get so much Stellar Jade through your daily activities, so it's important to save it for the most worthy characters to stay free to play. Here’s what you need to know to decide if Fu Xuan is worth that investment.

People are drawn to challenging games like Lies of P for a variety of reasons. Some enjoy the atmosphere, the storytelling, the exploration, and more, but for many, it is the bosses that make or break the experience. Without a doubt, Lies of P delivers on providing the kinds of challenging bosses fans of other soulslike games are after, but some may push things a bit too far. By the time you've reached the Barren Swamp, the game fully expects you to have mastered all the mechanics, weapons, Legion Arms, and more. At this point, you will be faced with the Green Monster of the Swamp. This boss's patterns are incredibly hard to read, plus it can inflict you with Decay if you're not careful. If this creature from the swamp is giving you grief, here's how to best this foul beast in Lies of P.
Green Monster of the Swamp strategy

The Green Monster of the Swamp fight will have two phases, the first of which it will bear the normal name. To most easily counter this form, you will want a Legion Arm or weapon that can deal fire damage, which is its elemental weakness. For yourself, equip something like the Defense Parts that buff your resistances, as well as Attribute Resistant Ampoules and Purification Ampoules to counter any Decay.
