After years of rumors, false hopes, and trademark registrations Electronic Arts and Starbreeze Studios have finally confirmed the existence of a remake of the popular PC game Syndicate. While it isn’t anything that substantial, EA and Starbreeze’s Mikael Nermark has come out to briefly talk about his experience working on the game and what the developer hopes to deliver to games and fans alike. The most important thing Starbreeze wants gamers to know that this isn’t just a straight up remake of Syndicate....

EA had a recent controversy that’s angered some fans enough for it to reverse its decision. No, this isn’t in reference to the poor Metacritic user scores for the ironically best-selling Madden 21 football game, but an advertisement pushing microtransactions in a magazine marketed toward children. FIFA 21 is coming out in just over a week, and many soccer fans are on the edge of their seats awaiting their chance to play 2020’s take on the popular pro soccer/European football game....

Are you beloved CBC comedy Schitt’s Creek? Well then congrats, my friend, because you just had a hell of a night at the 2020 Emmy Awards! Domination was the name of the game for the 72nd annual Emmy Awards, with only a handful of shows claiming the lion’s share of trophies in their respective genres. But among those dominant performers, no series was more overpowering than Schitt’s Creek in its final season....

Probably most important to address with Gears of War 3’s Season Pass is the fact that 2400 MS Points nets you all future DLC without having to pay anymore. The wording of the 33% discount caused some confusion, but it’s really just a one-time fee that entitles you to more multiplayer, single player, and horde/beast mode content. With that cleared up, Epic has also revealed that the DLC will not just be for fans of the multiplayer but will also continue the single player experience in some capacity — and this is not cut content....

Esports is outrageously popular on social media, so much so that it has even overtaken the NHL, MLB, and MLS on Instagram in terms of overall followers. The esports scene stands out as one of very few industries which has not suffered as much, relatively speaking, in the wake of the global pandemic. In fact, there are many ways in which esports has actually drummed up even more success this year, as a result of the pandemic....

Tomorrow’s HBO Max launch represents some stuff competition for Disney+, particularly in the superhero TV show category. While Disney+ will see the likes of Wandavision, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and Marvel’s What If…? eventually, Time Warner has an entire slate of DCEU projects planned for HBO Max as well. With the Arrowverse more-or-less fizzling, there’s never been a better time to start including some TV shows into the DC Extended Universe....

Destiny 2 may have had a few hiccups at launch, especially when the game rolled out to North America, but things have certainly settled since then. That doesn’t mean the game is without a few issues, though, and developer Bungie has outlined some of the more pressing matters for players. As is to be expected, Destiny 2 has its fair share of errors for players, which are named after various objects and animals....

After a planned collaboration with Nintendo back in the days of the Nintendo 64 fell through, Sony went on to inevitably form its own video game empire known the world over as the PlayStation. Across five iterations of home consoles and two handhelds, the PlayStation has become the most successful series of consoles in the gaming market, despite some rocky launches and a few missteps along the way. While PlayStation controllers have stayed virtually identical in terms of their outward design, the same can’t quite be said for the consoles....

World of Warcraft is a decades-old franchise with enough lore to drown an elephant in paper. The Warcraft timeline is also notoriously complicated, with novels that jump across history, mangas that show potential futures, alternate timelines popping up in the expansions, and more. Here, we cover every piece of Warcraft content and its place in that long timeline. This list details every game, expansion, and novel released as of the time of this writing....

This Evil review contains spoilers. Evil Season 2 Episode 3 Evil season 2, episode 3, “F Is for Fire,” begins at its hottest point. Dr Kristen Bouchard (Katja Herbers) is having trouble sleeping, but she’s not being kept awake by some demonic force. Her husband has been off on some mountain climbing expedition, and the last time she tapped an axe, it was into the skull of a serial killer.

Former Dragon Age: Inquisition lead producer Cameron Lee announces on Twitter that he is leaving BioWare to work on a new project at Destiny developer Bungie. Cameron Lee’s career in the video game industry spans casual games like Cars: Mater-National Championship to titles beloved by hardcore gamers, like Dead Space and Dragon Age: Inquisition. More recently, Lee was working on a new IP at BioWare, but he has now left his position at BioWare and Electronic Arts, joining the ranks of Bungie to work on a “new project” - presumably Destiny 2....

There’s no denying that when video games are adapted into LEGO form it’s pretty funny. From LEGO Batman to LEGO Harry Potter, LEGO versions of popular franchises have proven to be a lucrative genre, but mostly because of their whimsy and kid-friendly atmosphere. However, on rare occasions, some clever LEGO owners are able to craft a parody/homage to a popular piece of media (in brick form) that breaks through the “kiddie” barrier and enters the realm of awesome....

Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout has been riding waves of success throughout the game’s first two seasons, and now the battle royale is just about ready to kick off its newest season. On Twitter, after asking some Twitter users for help, the Fall Guys community team officially revealed that Season 3 will be Winter themed. Earlier today, the Fall Guys Twitter account put out a call for Twitter users to volunteer for a giant puzzle....

There are so many cool and interesting locations in Fallout 4, but one place often goes without attention. The very first place the Sole Survivor is in, Sanctuary Hills, is actually one of the most detailed places in the entire game. Pre-war and post-war, it served as a place where the player begins their journey and where they can build a settlement of the future. It’s also the main area where the Minutemen will operate from, with Sturges the handyman present in Sanctuary, along with Mama Murphy....

Few RPGs can match the sheer variety of quests that the Fallout franchise is known for. Each major entry in the franchise has dozens of unique quests for players to uncover. Fallout 3’s unique quest premises and New Vegas’s excellent writing have made some of the most memorable quests in gaming, but few mention how good some of Fallout 4’s quests are. Many of the game’s locations offer a degree of environmental storytelling that few can match....

Fallout 4’s Far Harbor expansion has only been out for a day, but several PS4 owners are reporting that the DLC is causing some major performance and frame rate issues. Out of the three Fallout 4 DLC packs that Bethesda had announced a few months ago, it was the Far Harbor expansion that had caught the attention of most fans. Touted as the largest expansion planned for Fallout 4, would-be players were so eager to play the Far Harbor DLC that upon its release just yesterday, one gamer diligently proved that the map is so big that it will take 30 minutes to walk across....

Rick & Morty is the current jewel in Adult Swim’s crown having been renewed for at least 70 more episodes back in 2o18 during season 3. Going by the current season model for the show, that’s 7 more seasons of 10 episodes each which would take it up to 10 seasons with the possibility of even more, but a new fan theory posits that the series could be ending before then....

In a surprise announcement, Bungie reveals that Destiny’s new Private Matches feature will be available today, ahead of the launch of Rise of Iron on the 20th. Destiny’s Rise of Iron expansion will bring with it a lot of new content, from new story missions to new gear to a new raid titled Wrath of Machine. The DLC add-on will also introduce a long-requested feature to multiplayer: private matches. However, up until now players had assumed that Destiny wouldn’t be adding private matches until Rise of Iron’s release date, but it turns out those assumptions were wrong....

Sparrow racing makes its debut in Destiny next week with a limited time event called the Sparrow Racing League, which offers new maps, game modes, gear, and Sparrows. Today at PlayStation Experience, a new limited-time event was announced for Destiny: The Taken King, the Sparrow Racing League. Destiny fans have asked for Sparrow racing since its launch last year, and have even put together community events themselves to race and do tricks with their Sparrows....

This week, the Epic Games Store will be letting its customers pick up Just Cause 4 and the narrative-focused game Wheels of Aurelia for free. For the uninitiated, Wheels of Aurelia is a story-based game that involves an Italian road trip taken by a couple of young women during the 1970s. Perhaps the focal point of the free selection is Just Cause 4, however, which is the most recent installment in the action-heavy Just Cause franchise....
