A new trailer for Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, which is set 100 years before the events of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, was rolled out at the Tokyo Game Show 2020, showing players more details about the upcoming Musou-style game.

At the end of the trailer, which shows the Lucky Ladle as a pre-order bonus for the game’s digital version, Link’s Training Sword is revealed to be another bonus weapon. Players who have a Breath of the Wild save on their Nintendo Switch will automatically receive the item, though its specific details remain unknown.

In addition to the Training Sword as a bonus item, the new Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity trailer confirms that Impa is a playable character in the game, as a young adult compared to her older appearance in Breath of the Wild.

Further confirmation of Impa as a playable character in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity comes from the gameplay video that Nintendo rolled out at the Tokyo Game Show 2020. The video is in Japanese, but it gives a good glimpse at what players can expect from the upcoming game.

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity will tell the story of the Great Calamity event, with Breath of the Wild‘s four champions, in addition to Link and Zelda, as playable characters. The game rolls out on November 20, exclusively on the Nintendo Switch.

Razer’s Kraken V4 X Sensa wants to add haptics to your gaming audio
Sensa HD Haptics turns in-game audio into physical feedback, so every gunshot and explosion will hit differently.

Razer has decided that hearing an explosion isn't quite enough anymore. The company has launched the Kraken V4 X Sensa HD Haptics, a new wired gaming headset that adds physical vibrations to the audio experience. Essentially, when something suitably dramatic happens in a game, the headset can make the player feel it as well as hear it.

The big trick here is Sensa HD Haptics, Razer's haptic technology that converts compatible game audio into physical feedback. Explosions, gunshots, engines, and other low-frequency sounds can translate into vibrations through the headset, adding another layer of immersion without requiring a fancy gaming chair with an unnecessarily aggressive subwoofer.

Voicemod is breaking free from the PC with this tiny gadget
Want to sound completely different the next time you jump into Fortnite or Discord? Voicemod Key Pocket puts voice effects and soundboards into a small piece of hardware that works without a PC.

Changing your character's outfit in a game takes seconds. You can swap skins, change your username, pick a different loadout, and generally make your online character look however you want. Changing how you sound, though, has traditionally been a little more complicated — especially if you're playing on a phone or console. Voicemod wants to fix that with the Voicemod Key Pocket, a tiny hardware device that brings the company's real-time voice changing and soundboards to smartphones, tablets, consoles, and social apps without needing a PC in the middle.

The idea is simple: plug the Key Pocket into your device, connect a headset, and start changing your voice while you talk to others. It works alongside the Voicemod app, where you can browse more than 200 original voices alongside thousands of community-created options.
