This Week With Bellular!

A new month, a new week, and eventually a new site design? 👀

Whilst we have been a team member down this week, our fantastic news writer Conor is getting some much needed R&R 🛏️, that hasn't stopped the rest of us discussing what we would like from this site and how we can make things better for you guys!

We aren't ready to show off everything yet but after an initial tinker 🔧 and a look at the the proposed changes, I thought why not give you guys a look at the sidebar navigation, that we are all very pleased with in the office.

We'll be back to full team strength on Monday 👥 , however, it also being the 11th and 12th of July, we expect a bit of disruption to our routines here in Belfast.
We will still bring you the same great content we always do!

As for now, here's our latest freebies and articles from this past week for your enjoyment!

This One's On Us

Fromsoft took a hit this week with a Ransomware Attack 💻💰 and its reminiscent of some other hacks that happened earlier this year. Can any company really be confident in their tech, with the ever changing landscape we're in now.

Meanwhile Co-Op games are proving to be a big hitter!
Now we're not saying we already knew that. but Conall did make a great Editor's Note on his experiences with Co-Op games. Do you agree?

Our Best This Week: News

We start off this week and month with our Upcoming Games! 🎮
Not as boisterous and loud as the Erdtree DLC at the end of June, but with a lot of heavy hitters to get out before the beginning of the autumn and Christmas crunch.

While Conor's been off we had Matt fill in with our Loading Screens this week and he found a lot of crazy stories - like SEGA planning a live service Crazy Taxi Game! 🚕
We also need to watch out for a Watch Dogs movie?

We also had a look at the state of Diablo 4 given its recent Season and had community led updates for games, the devs are really giving the people what they want. Hopefully this is a trend that continues.

Upcoming Games: A Jam Packed July

July brings a surge of games releasing to get out ahead of the autumn crush. From heavy hitters like Dawntrail and Zenless Zone Zero, esoteric new entries like Once Human and Anger Foot - and a surprisingly large amount of strategy titles including Cataclismo, Norland and of course Stormgate.
