Mecha Break, Amazing Seasun Games’ upcoming multiplayer mecha action shooter, showed up at The Game Awards 2024. We finally got a release window for Mecha Break during the show, while a press release detailed some of Amazing Seasun’s post-launch plans.

That newly confirmed launch window for Mecha Break is spring 2025. When it comes out then, Mecha Break will have three primary modes. That includes the 6v6 Battlefield and 3v3 Arena modes that players have been able to go hands-on with in previous betas and a PvPvE mode highlighted in its trailer at The Game Awards. That PvPvE mode puts players on a massive map of giant boss mech enemies and strongholds.

Players can work together to take down strongholds and defeat those bosses, but they can also fight each other. The mode will also have mechanics that can’t be found in other Mecha Break modes, like picking up dropped weapons and customizing their mech’s combative or healing capabilities in the middle of a match. This mode should appeal to fans of extraction shooters like Escape from Tarkov. We haven’t seen anything quite like that in a mecha game before.

In addition to explaining what Mecha Break will contain at launch, its developers are teasing what will come after that. A space station hub will be added, and players will be able to walk around a hangar, tactical command center, private living quarters, and shooting range. Eventually, Amazing Seasun wants to add a game mode where players can exit their mech’s cockpit and still fight.

While the game has to become a hit with players at release first, it’s good to know the developers have a long-term vision for this multiplayer game. Mecha Break will be released for PC and Xbox Series X/S sometime in spring 2025.

In the Switch’s final days, Nintendo finally gets serious about eShop moderation
Two men browse the soon to be defunct Wii U eShop.

The Nintendo eShop is notoriously full of shovel ware, money-grabs, and porn games — but the recent disappearance of many adult-oriented titles suggests Nintendo might finally be taking more steps towards moderating the shop. X user Naruki, known for tracking trends across the eShop, first spotted the change.

Despite its family-friendly image, the Nintendo eShop has long been plagued with a frankly astounding amount of NSFW titles. Since the majority of eShop operations are handled by an algorithm, these titles often appear as a great deal or a new release. Even though most are age-gated, the thumbnails are still provocative enough that it raises concern among parents.

Don't forget to upgrade your rig with monitor deals too after taking advantage of gaming PC deals! However, if you've already used up most of your budget on your new gaming desktop, don't sweat it because you can still get a decent display on a tight budget. The 32-inch LG UltraGear QHD gaming monitor is a great example -- it's already pretty affordable at its original price of $349, but you can currently buy it from Walmart for just $188 following a $161 discount. You're going to have to hurry though, as tomorrow may already be too late to shop this offer.

Why you should buy the 32-inch LG UltraGear QHD gaming monitor
The LG UltraGear QHD gaming monitor isn't going to match up to the features and specifications of the top-of-the-line models of the best gaming monitors, but for its price, it's a very solid screen that will be enough for most gamers to appreciate the graphics of the best PC games. It all starts with the Quad HD resolution on its 32-inch screen, which will show your games with sharp details, and it's also got HDR10 support for rich colors and contrast to enable an immersive experience.

If you've been waiting for the official Joy-Con controllers to appear with discounts from Nintendo Switch deals because you don't want to pay their retail price of $80, it might be time to consider buying a more affordable alternative. Check out the YUOY Switch Controllers, which are already much more affordable at their original price of $50, but they're now down to only $26 following a $24 discount from Walmart. Stocks of the gaming accessories will likely run out quickly, so you should complete your purchase as soon as possible if you don't want to miss out.

Why you should buy the YUOY Switch Controllers
The Joy-Con controllers are one of the most innovative features of the Nintendo Switch, and there are plenty of reasons why you'd want extra pairs -- some titles can support more than two players such as Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Super Mario Party Jamboree, and you may want a spare pair as a back-up. However, if you're on a tight budget, the YUOY Switch Controllers are a more affordable alternative. They're compatible with the original version of the console as well as the Nintendo Switch OLED, and they come in a variety of striking colors that match the overall aesthetic of the Nintendo Switch.
