PowerColor, in collaboration with AMD and Focus Entertainment, today announced the PowerColor Hellhound AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT 16 GB GDDR6 Resonance Edition, a special edition graphics card that brings the world of Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy to life. Blending striking, game-inspired aesthetics with the exceptional performance of AMD RDNA 4 architecture, the Resonance Edition is an immersive companion for every step of the journey, and every Resonance Edition includes a full game code and an exclusive themed mousepad, so the hardware built for the adventure and the adventure itself arrive in one box.

A World Worth Fighting For
Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy is the next chapter in Focus Entertainment's acclaimed A Plague Tale saga, a series celebrated by players and critics alike for its unforgettable storytelling and breathtaking world. Following Sophia on a journey where survival is the only path forward and mysterious secrets lie hidden beneath the island's depths; the game has captured the imagination of a passionate community of story-driven gamers. With the Resonance Edition, PowerColor invites that community to carry the adventure from the screen into the heart of their build.

NVIDIA today released its latest GeForce Game Ready drivers, adding day-one optimizations for three upcoming titles, STAR WARS Zero Company, Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy, and Hell Let Loose: Vietnam. The new driver also addresses a couple of gaming and general bugs, including frame-rate issues with DOOM: The Dark Ages and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle games when using DLSS Frame Generation 3x or higher, as well as texture flickering in The Outer Worlds on R595 and R610 drivers.

The new drivers also fix several general bugs, including ones seen with ASUS Armory Crate's GameVisual profiles, a drivers crash in Chief Architect on GeForce RTX 4000 series cards, incorrect 3D application detection in Claude Desktop, crashes with certain 32-bit DirectX 12 applications, and OpenCL buffer limitations in Tycho Tracker. NVIDIA is still looking into an issue involving the "Prefer Maximum Performance" Power Management Mode, which may not be applied correctly.

Welcome to what is technically the last week of August and we have a week packed with new releases, several coming from known franchises. We kick off the week in a galaxy far, far away with some turned-based tactics, as this week's major release. The week's regular lineup starts with a survival-adventure onboard a very famous ship and we quickly go from there back into space, but this time with some xenomorphs involved. Next up we have some anime-inspired turn-based strategy, followed by a prequel to a 2019 hit game and finally we round off the week with an old school metroidvania type hack and slash game. Check out this week's other releases for some more franchise action and more.

Star Wars Zero Company / This week's major release / Thursday 27 August
Command an elite squad through a gritty and authentic story in Star Wars Zero Company, a single-player turn-based tactics game set in the twilight of the Clone Wars. You will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer who leads Zero Company as they are recruited for an operation that pits them against an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked.

Despite the official launch being weeks away, it appears as though Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy has already leaked and been cracked, with playable builds available online—much like the recent Forza Horizon 6 leak that saw pirates gain access to the game ahead of buyers of the $120 Deluxe Edition. This game leak comes a full week ahead of the game's full launch on Thursday, August 27, and is corroborated by pirates on the r/PiratedGames subreddit.

Modders say that the game runs fine, although there are reports that the currently available pirated packages may contain malware, since the repacker responsible for the pre-release pirated version of the game allegedly has a history of packaging Hypervisor scripts in some of their downloads. Aside from the screenshots from the leaked version of the game, the prequel game's install size was reported to be around 75 GB. It's unclear how the game repackers got hold of a pre-release version of Resonance, and neither Focus Entertainment nor Asobo Studios have responded to the leak.
