VGCartz Methodology: Equipment estimates are based on a sample of retailers and trends in selected countries, which are then extrapolated to represent a wider region. This usually allows us to get numbers that end up being within 10% of the actual totals.

This data is regularly compared with official shipping data published by console manufacturers and data obtained by regional trackers with a larger market coverage than us. We then update our own estimates to bring them in line with those numbers. This can result in frequent changes over a short period of time, but we think it’s important to prioritize accuracy over consistency.

Please note that our estimates are based on through sales data (units sold to consumers). In almost all cases, the numbers published by console manufacturers are based on shipment data (sale), when a device leaves the factory and enters the supply chain for delivery, it is considered a sale. This is why there is always a difference between company numbers (sales) and VGChartz estimates (through sales), even after adjustments have been made. The only exception is when the console has been discontinued and the remaining stock has finally sold out – at which point the numbers will match.

The electric car will come in three color options and cost $15,499, up $499 from the previous price target. However, the S2 Del Mar remains the most affordable LiveWire model, with the LiveWire One starting at $22,799.

LiveWire will announce final specs in June, although it has given us an idea of ​​what to expect. The brand says the Del Mar, which weighs 431 pounds, will have a range of 110 miles around town on a single charge. LiveWire claims that plugging in a Level 2 charger should take the battery from 20 percent to 80 percent in 75 minutes (no fast charging option, unfortunately). The Del Mar drivetrain is expected to deliver 184 lb-ft of torque and be able to accelerate from zero to 60 mph in 3.1 seconds.

Along with US pricing and availability, LiveWire has revealed initial S2 Del Mar information for Europe. Reservations for the S2 Del Mar European Launch Edition open on April 27 and require a €100 down payment, but only 100 electric vehicles will be available at the start. Those who purchase the S2 Del Mar Launch Edition will receive an exclusive hand-painted finish and wheel design.

Crystal Dynamics is gearing up to secretly test one of its upcoming projects in May, and some fans are speculating that Tomb Raider developer will invite select players to try out the new Legacy of Kain game. Crystal Dynamics confirmed PCGamesN that a closed playtest will take place next month, but the studio did not mention which game would be tried out by invitation only.

“I can confirm that the invitation is genuine and comes from us,” a spokesperson for Crystal Dynamics told PCGamesN, “but I can’t give any information about what they will be testing.”

What is known is that players who completed the recent Legacy of Kain survey report received an email from Crystal Dynamics for play tests. “Crystal Dynamics will play test the new game from May 3 to May 12,” the invitation reads. “Playtests will be remote, so you can participate from home as long as you have a PC or Mac, a webcam, a microphone, and the Microsoft Teams app installed.”

More than 100,000 people completed the Legacy of Kain poll last October, according to the studio, indicating that fans have heard their desire to see the franchise return “loud and clear”. “We wanted to get the community’s input on what players are looking for if we return to the land of Nosgoth and our iconic Legacy of Kain intellectual property,” Crystal Dynamics and Eidos CEO Phil Rogers said during a call to parent company Embracer Group (via VGK).

The last real game in the series, Defiance, was released 20 years ago in 2003 and the series has been dormant since then as Crystal Dynamics worked on other projects. The developer now has a full plan in place as it co-develops the Perfect Dark reboot with Microsoft’s The Initiative and is working on a new Tomb Raider game to be published by Amazon. His previous game, Marvel’s Avengers, got its last update in March.
