Fria Ligans Invincible-rollspel släpps i juli

Vi har tidigare rapporterat om att Robert Kirkmans Invincible-serie skulle förvandlas till ett klassiskt papper-och-penna rollspel. Nu vet vi att Invincible: Superhero Roleplaying släpps den 30:e juli. Projektet blev till verklighet genom Kickstarter där det nådde sitt mål på dryga 30 minuter - och det samlade totalt in över 3,8 miljoner kronor.

"Invincible - Superhero Roleplaying is based on the acclaimed Year Zero Engine game mechanics, adapted to Invincible's grounded and visceral take on the superhero genre. Using only six-sided dice, the game rules are intuitive and easy to follow, while supporting the kind of high-powered yet sometimes very deadly action and drama as seen in the pages of Invincible."

Flera av veteranerna bakom serier som Resident Evil och Devil May Cry uppges ha gett sina utvecklare tydlig order när arbetet med det kommande actionspelet Stupid Never Dies drog igång: gör inte ett soulslike-spel.

I en intervju berättar studions ledning att teamet medvetet ville undvika att följa den trend som dominerat actiongenren under senare år.

I stället var målet att skapa något mer lättillgängligt, fartfyllt och lekfullt, med fokus på kreativitet och spelglädje snarare än den typ av metodiska strider och höga svårighetsgrad som ofta förknippas med soulslikes.

Stupid Never Dies utvecklas av GPTRACK50, en studio grundad av flera tidigare Capcom-veteraner, däribland producenten Hiroyuki Kobayashi, som arbetat med både Resident Evil- och Devil May Cry-serierna. Spelet beskrivs som ett actionrollspel med roguelite-inslag där spelaren tar rollen som zombien Davy, som kan absorbera fienders krafter och förvandla sig till olika monster.

Stupid Never Dies är planerat att släppas senare i år och ser ut att bli en ganska unik upplevelse.

Är du trött på Soulslikes och ser du fram emot Stupid Never Dies?

• Victorious backed for Guineas after Queen Mary stroll

There was no room for doubt after the Prince of Wales’s Stakes here on Wednesday, and no need either for any debate about team tactics or riding instructions. Ombudsman’s sweeping charge down the outside to beat Minnie Hauk and Daryz, the winners of the Oaks and Arc respectively last season, was as decisive a winning move as favourite backers could ever hope to see, and William Buick was using only hands-and-heels through the final furlong as the 11-10 chance opened up a four-length lead at the line.

For a brief moment at the top of the straight, it seemed that the pacemakers might be a source of post-race discussion for the second day running. Mississippi River and Devil’s Advocate, one frontrunner apiece for Aidan O’Brien’s Minnie Hauk and the John and Thady Gosden-trained Ombudsman, tore into a long lead by halfway, and while Mississippi River was a spent force turning in, Devil’s Advocate still had a healthy lead at the two-furlong pole.

• Simpson won bronze in 1500m at 2016 Olympics

Jenny Simpson, a three-time Olympian and one of the most accomplished American female runners in history, was taken to hospital and is receiving treatment after collapsing at a track event on Tuesday in North Carolina.

The organizer of the event, Sir Walter Running, said there had been a “medical incident” involving Simpson while she paced a mile group at an event in Raleigh. Runner’s World and LetsRun reported that Simpson did not have a pulse for a period of time but said it was restored with CPR and an AED.

It is officially time to dust off your galaxy brain and prepare to have your crystal ball shattered by a random wildcard region. Riot Games has officially re-launched Pick’Ems for the 2026 Mid-Season Invitational (MSI), running from June 17 through July 1.

If you have ever wanted to prove to your friends that you understand the League of Legends meta better than the actual pros, this is your moment. If you completely fail, you can just blame a format change.

The Play-In Bloodbath Begins

Riot is switching things up this year with a revamped format, which means your bracket predictions are going to look a bit different. The tournament kicks off with the Play-Ins, and the group is an absolute pressure cooker.

You have heavy hitters like T1 and Karmine Corp rubbing shoulders with Team Liquid and Revolve Deep Cross Gaming. The catch? Only one team from this group gets to survive and advance to the main stage.

It is going to be a total carnage for the second-seeded squads from the LEC, LCS, LCK, and LCP. Once the dust settles and the Play-In winner is decided, the main event bracket will be drawn on June 30, which is exactly when the knockout stage Pick’Ems lock into place.

Gunning for Jhin Skins and Bragging Rights

Naturally, Riot is not asking you to predict the future for free. They have lined up a tier of rewards based on how accurate your crystal ball actually is.

If you manage to fall into the top 50% of all users, you grab a commemorative profile icon. Creep up into the top 25%, and you unlock the Clean Up Emote.

For the absolute prophets out there who manage a flawless, perfect record, Riot is handing out Jhin alongside his Broken Covenant skin. It is a flashy reward for a feat that usually requires trading away your soul or guessing every single upset perfectly.

To make things sweeter, community leaderboards are making a comeback. You can set up local groups to humiliate your friends directly while simultaneously checking how you stack up against the global leaderboard.

Gazing Into the Crystal Ball

If predicting match winners feels too mainstream, the Crystal Ball category is back to test your deep, analytical League knowledge. This is where you make macro-level predictions that have nothing to do with who destroys the Nexus first.

You can earn between 50 and 100 points per correct guess by picking stats like the most played champion, the highest and lowest win-rate characters, or which player will rack up the highest KDA. You can even bet on things like the total number of Elder Dragons secured, First Blood stats, and who secures the shortest game victory of the tournament.

Riot created a separate scoring system just for these props. If you manage to place in the top 100 players globally on the Crystal Ball leaderboard, you also walk away with that Broken Covenant Jhin skin.

Lock in your picks before the timers run out, and may the draft gaps be ever in your favor.
