### **SimCity Launches After a Decade of Wait**

While the host didn’t delve into specifics, fans can expect the same engaging experience that made the series a classic.
### **Resident Evil 6 Heads to Steam with Left 4 Dead Crossover**
Good news for *Left 4 Dead* fans: *Resident Evil 6* is coming to Steam on March 22nd. This crossover event allows players who purchase the game on Steam to play as their favorite *Left 4 Dead 2* characters in specific levels. Additionally, meat-eating enemies from *Left 4 Dead* will appear in *Resident Evil 6*, adding a new layer of excitement to the zombie apocalypse.
The host expresses interest in this collaboration, hinting at potential gameplay possibilities. Despite its late release on PC, the crossover feature makes it an intriguing option for fans of both franchises.
### **EverQuest Lifting Free-to-Play Restrictions**
Sony Online Entertainment has lifted some free-to-play restrictions on * EverQuest Next: Land of Promise*. Now, players can access all classes and races without prior restrictions. This move is particularly exciting given the game's fourteen-year lifespan, with many player events still active.
The host notes that while the game remains pay-to-play, this change is a significant step toward making it more accessible to new players.
### **New Champion in Fighting Game**
A newly revealed champion in an unnamed fighting game has high sustainability and adaptability. Highlighted moves include "Stretching Strike," a two-headed punch that slows targets, and "Unstable Manner," an explosive attack. This character promises to be versatile, fitting into various playstyles.
The host speculates about the potential for overuse but praises the champion's design as "really cool."
### **Rain Delayed, Castlevania News**

### **Doom 3 VR Delayed**
The release of a new VR system initially planned to launch with *Doom 3: BFG Edition* has been delayed.
