Some gaming media outlets have begun publishing final previews of Payday 3, a co-op plunder shooter set to release in September – IGN and Screen Rant have left final previews at the time of publication. In general, the reviewers did not reveal any new details regarding the game, as some details were revealed earlier in interviews or development diaries. However, the reviewer from IGN noted that AI partners often crashes and “stupid” during dangerous moments – in this case, the reviewer recommended playing exclusively with live partners. But in general, the shooter, as before, remained very dynamic and unpredictable. The developers of Payday 3 have released a large number of video diaries that demonstrate the gameplay, as well as reveal some of the game mechanics and features of the new part of the franchise. The creators of the shooter discussed: Payday 3 will be released on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series on September 21st.

Experience the Thrill of Aqualibi’s Massive Expansion and Sustainable Innovations at Walibi!
written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief
2023-09-07 11:35:00
A huge project is currently taking place in Walibi, in Wavre! The amusement park is building the extension of Aqualibi, the aquatic part of the famous amusement park. The old structure will be connected to a tower approaching 30 meters in height. It is practically from there, more than 20 meters high, that visitors will launch themselves (aboard a buoy) in one or other of the four enormous slides installed.
Another novelty: a huge photovoltaic installation to supply electricity to the site. A third-party investor, Engie-Electrabel, installed 5442 panels totaling a power of 3.6 MW, which makes it possible to produce more than 3400 MWh each year, the equivalent of the electricity needs of 1100 households! Most of the panels were installed on a carport, a few dozen meters from Aqualibi. 81% of electricity production will be consumed on site, the rest being injected into the network. Enough to avoid the emission of 1400 tons of CO2 per year! Further improvements are planned for insulation, ventilation, heating and water management. Walibi is thus continuing its trajectory towards “Net Zero Carbon”, by 2030.
In addition to this extension, next spring the site will open an outdoor relaxation and dining area, next to the current “Palm Beach” restaurant. Further work is planned, particularly in the reception area.
The Aqualibi extension project will cost 30 million euros. Opening scheduled for December 22.

Alexis Sánchez’s Absence from National Team for World Cup Qualifiers due to Physical Problems
written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief
2023-09-07 13:36:26
The plane that will take the national team to Uruguay for the start of the qualifying process for the 2026 World Cup in Canada, the United States and Mexico will have one less passenger.
As El Deportivo was able to confirm, Eduardo Berizzo decided to leave Alexis Sánchez in Chile due to the player’s physical problems, following the forward had been without competitive activity for three months since his departure from Olympique de Marseille.
For now, the news is not yet official. However, the chances that the tocopillano would not travel to Montevideo were already very high last night. “It is very difficult for him to play”, was the phrase that was repeated the most in Juan Pinto Durán. And they were right, because finally AS10 stayed down the flight, according to various sources consulted by La Tercera.
The concern regarding this aspect was evident in the press conference this Wednesday in which the DT reported that the Tocopillano had undergone a series of studies before joining the practices on Tuesday.
“Alexis has undergone medical examinations in connection with his signing and we want to be cautious regarding his physical situation,” explained Berizzo.
“We are evaluating his health and his physical condition, thoroughly. We will decide whether to join the game on Friday or if we will maintain the hope of having him for the game on Tuesday ( once morest Colombia)”, added Toto.
At that time, the coach’s hope was to be able to count on Sánchez for at least 30 minutes at the Centenario stadium in order to see how he responded to the demand and thus see if he might project him for the duel once morest the coffee growers on Tuesday.
However, following last-minute evaluations, the strategist preferred that the national striker not risk his physique at the Centenario and that he better stay in national territory to continue getting ready for the competition.
The fact that Alexis Sánchez has not been able to add minutes of competition at Inter Milan has allowed Eduardo Berizzo to evaluate in advance what might be the best alternatives to replace the Red’s striker.
In this way, one of the first names to appear is that of Alexander Aravena, who has shown a good individual level despite the opaque campaign that Universidad Católica has had in recent months for the National Championship.
Thus, the Monito is one of the favorite players to accompany Ben Brereton in the attack of Chile.
Regarding the brand new reinforcement of Villarreal, Berizzo indicated that “I have seen him well, I recognize that of his league games in the change of team he has intervened in one, but he is a footballer of great athletic and physical condition. I see the Ben that I knew when he played in England last season, now with a change of team he is fine ”.
The duel between Uruguay and Chile to be played at the Centenario stadium in Montevideo is scheduled for this Friday, September 8, starting at 8:00 p.m. in Chile.
