About the IGC Speaker Abe Taraky is the Senior Concept Artist at Santa Monica Studio and has worked on the main concept art for God of War as well as concept art for the characters and backgrounds of Doctor Strange, Captain America: Civil War, and Deadpool at Luma Pictures. He began his gaming career through indie games in 2008 and worked on art for various game titles as a Senior Concept Artist for Gameloft in 2012. Afterward, he worked in various fields like games, movies, animation, and advertising; he even worked for WB Games Montréal. The God of War game successfully presented new possibilities for the series with the new title in 2018. The changes to the scenarios, world setting, etc. for God of War are very meaningful as they did not just broaden the horizon for the new 2018 title but for the expansion of the whole series as well. The devs had to invest so much time thinking about how they could apply changes to the series in order to expand the games.

New costumes have been added to Black Desert Online KR in celebration of 2018's Halloween! The new collection includes Vestillio for the male classes and Vespena for the female classes. The appearance for each class is identical for the same class, and the costume does not include any separate weapons. First, the Vestillio set for the male class includes armor pieces comprised of metal plates over dark fabric. The costume was designed to look like a demon with a horned helmet and a pair of big, black wings. The wings actually work as a cloak and if you click on hide cloak, the wings will disappear. The Vespena set looks lighter than the male version; it's a form-fitting leather jumpsuit and a short jacket over it.

Fallout 76, the new title in the Fallout series, will be released for PS4, Xbox One, and PC on this upcoming November 14th. Fallout 76 isn't like the regular numbered installments in the series but is more of a side story. It is an online survival game like DayZ and Rust. The devs originally began its development as a multiplayer version of Fallout 4, which they aimed to craft into an 'online Fallout'. Bethesda Game Studios has introduced Fallout 76 as a ‘new, experimental title of the post-apocalypse series.' Fallout 76 will not be released on Steam and will instead only be available for purchase through Bethesda.net. West Virginia & Vault 76Fallout 76 takes place in West Virginia; the map is 4 times bigger than the previous title Fallout 76, just as the title implies, is about Vault 76, 25 years after the nuclear war.
