If you’ve been marking off the days until Mighty No. 9‘s September release, you might want to get a new pen. Initially thought to only be a rumor, developer Comcept has said that the game will be delayed to 2016.

Comcept confirmed the delay in a message to Kickstarter backers, which was shared in a post on NeoGAF. While the statement makes it clear that Mighty No. 9 isn’t coming out this year, it doesn’t provide a concrete date for when it will come out.

“We are unable to confirm a final release date at this time, however we will be aiming for a release in Q1 2016,” the developer writes. “Once a solid release date is set, we will announce it immediately to our backers and fans.”

This isn’t the first time that Mighty No. 9 has been delayed. Initially scheduled for an April 2015, the game was pushed back to a September 15 launch. Comcept says the new delay is necessary in order to fix bugs in the game’s online mode.

“As we have communicated in the updates to our backers, all of the core content for the game is developed and in a complete state,” the developer writes. “However, there are still bugs and issues pertaining to the online features that are included in the game. These bugs and issues have a direct affect on enjoyment of the game, so a decision was made to work these issues out before release.”

The sheer amount of platforms Mighty No. 9 is coming to might be the reason for the amount of time needed to fix the bugs. The game is coming to PC, Mac, and Linux in addition the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Wii U, Nintendo 3DS, and PlayStation Vita.

Mighty No. 9 is the brainchild of Mega Man series creator and Comcept head Keiji Inafune. A spiritual successor to the Mega Man games, what we’ve seen of the game so far looks promising, but we’ll have to wait until 2016 to see the complete package holds up.

This hasn’t been a great week for Inafune. Yesterday we reported that the Kickstarter for Red Ash, a spiritual successor to the Mega Man Legends series, had failed to meet its funding goal. Publisher Fuze Entertainment has picked up the game, so its prologue Red Ash: The KalKanon Incident, is currently in development for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Genshin Impact characters.

There are tons of ways to earn all the different forms of currency and items in Genshin Impact, but you can only get so much in a day before you run out. While the game isn't going to grind to a halt if you don't have enough items like Primogems, you will be significantly slowed down in terms of progress. While you could turn to spending real money to get over these humps, there are alternative ways to get a huge influx of items completely free, with no grinding required. Each month, there is a new set of Genshin Impact codes you can take advantage of to add tons of Primogems, experience, Mora, and more to your inventory. Here are all the current ones you can claim and how to access them.
How to claim Genshin Impact codes

To redeem any Genshin Impact code, you just need to go to the official code redemption page. Log in with your account, specify the character you want to receive the rewards, and type or paste the code into the Redemption Code field. Once done, the rewards will be sent to your character's in-game mail menu to claim on whatever platform you play on. Be aware that some codes can't be redeemed until you hit specific Adventure Ranks.

How to use Steam Family
A steam family library in Steam.

Steam has evolved a lot since it initially launched. What was once a simple storefront has developed into the largest PC gaming community in the world, with millions of people around the globe logging on and playing. Because Steam is a digital-only storefront, and games are tied to a single account, it did have a drawback when multiple people in a family wanted their own accounts. There were questions about parental controls, game sharing, and more, but Valve has been working away at a solution. Currently available in the Steam Beta, Steam Families offer a range of options and features that any household should look into. Let's dive into how it works and what you can do with it.
How to start a Steam Family

By opting in on the Steam Beta Client, you will have the option to create a Steam Family with up to five members that are either given an Adult or Child account status. Once set up, you can view and manage your family directly on Steam, on a browser, or via the mobile app. To access the steam beta, open Steam, select the Steam button, and go into Settings. From there, select Interface > Steam Families Beta under Client Beta Participation.
