Blizzard is currently testing PTR 2.7.0 in Diablo 3 in anticipation of a new Season to begin in only a few short weeks, and revamping how players see and compete for a spot on the leaderboards for Solo Greater Rifts. In the current list of PTR patch notes, Blizzard states that solo leaderboards will now contain a total of seven sorting filters for each class. The newest filters will let you search by Class Sets, No Class Set, and Overall, the last of which is the default filter....

When Blizzard first announced details for Diablo 3’s Season 21 and the Trials of the Tempests, a major initial concern among the player community was that the seasonal buff offered players nothing unique to set the game apart from non-seasonal play. The PvE buff would provide little more than a damage boost, but gameplay would be reduced to the tedium of non-seasons and its established meta of gear sets and team compositions for Greater Rifts, which has been stale for a while apart from the new sets sprinkled into the game....

Yes, that’s right, Disney fans! It’s that time again. It’s the highlight of my week, and I hope that you enjoy it, too. Can you guess what it is? It is time for us both to indulge in a bit of Disney fancy. Now, we know that making up stories and fantasies about characters has been a thing since we started making tales, as a species. It is a bit of harmless fun to imagine roles reversed, princesses as princes, and princes as damsels in distress....

Ubisoft Massive developers release an update patch removing an exploit allowing players to inflict unlimited damage upon opponents within its action-MMO, The Division. As many fans would agree, The Division is having a rough go of it lately. Following days of exploits, such as the Incursion boss glitch that allowed Agents to take down the main Falcon Lost foe with just two shots, developers have been working hard to eliminate the action-MMO’s problems, starting with an exploit fix that will supposedly put an end to players being able to take advantage of Incursion glitches once and for all....

Detective Pikachu hits theaters today, but the film was also featured in Thursday preview showings around the world. The film has already grossed around $15 million worldwide, and though it has stiff competition from the seemingly unstoppable Avengers: Endgame, it is still expected to have a decent box office haul this weekend. Those who are going to see the Detective Pikachu movie in theaters may be wondering if the film has an end credits scene like many other event movies tend to have in a post-MCU world....

With the recent conclusion of Tell Me Why and their upcoming Twin Mirror on the horizon, fans may find themselves wondering what a televised adaptation of a DontNod game might look like. A supposed Life is Strange adaptation is coming, and there’s honestly much that could be done to build off of the foundation of Max and Chloe’s story. However, a complete two season television series already exists that scratches most of the same itches as Life is Strange: Netflix original series Trinkets....

By now, millions of people know firsthand how much carnage the Doom Slayer can exact upon anything evil or native to hell. Throughout all of video game history, no other demon slayer has been more proficient and successful at their craft than Doom Slayer who is also known as Doomguy. There simply is no force in both hell and heaven (at least, one that got corrupted by hell) that could stop him in his own game....

Solas is a very talked about Dragon Age character and will likely be the main villain of the upcoming fourth game. He is an elf mage who is a companion in Dragon Age: Inquisition. After players beat the game though, they find out he is way more than just an elf mage. He is the Dread Wolf from elf lore. When a character is widely talked about, the memes come. Solas is great meme material because fans have a lot of information and feelings about his character....

You will also gain appreciation points when a Barn is complete, helping you level up your base. This guide will cover everything that you need to know to build a Barn in Dragon Quest Builders 2.

Humanoids in Dungeons and Dragons take on all kinds of shapes and sizes. Humanoids are the intelligent, social, and bipedal creatures that makeup societies in lands both civilized and wild. All humanoids are capable of speaking at least one language, though, surprisingly enough, many do not speak common. Some humanoids are gifted with innate magical abilities, such as the Tieflings’ hellish rebuke or the Drows’ darkness. But what makes humanoids most dangerous is their ability to learn from the world around them and offer worship to entities beyond....

In a weird cross-promotional frenzy, Medal of Honor: Warfighter (for a time) was promoting the sale of real weapons through the official site of its virtual game. Players were being asked to check out the real world weapons featured in Warfighter and encouraged, in some cases, to purchase them. A controversial move to say the least, this promotional ploy by the folks behind Medal of Honor: Warfighter, specifically Executive Producer Greg Goodrich, is in poor taste....

In a world of first person shooters, the debate over which control method is better has been going strong for decades. PC purists swear by their mice and keyboards, while long-time console owners stand close to their controllers. Over time, peripherals have been invented to bring the accuracy of the keyboard/mouse combo to the consoles. These devices have come close, but many have yet to truly bring the PC FPS experience to a console....

If the recent Twitch copyright crackdown — not to mention the YouTube copyright crackdown — of last week told you anything, it’s that there’s big money to be had in the world of gameplay streaming/recording. Let’s Play videos are no longer goofy YouTube videos but full-scale productions capable of generating millions in revenue. However, alongside higher scale productions come higher scale needs. Let’s Play-ers and gameplay streamers require up-to-date tech to match those needs, and the needs of a new generation of consoles....

Elite: Dangerous isn’t the sort of game that does things quickly. While the sheer variety of gameplay available to its players makes sure they’re not likely to complain of boredom any time soon, developer Frontier Developments has been extraordinarily patient with the rollout of what might be Elite: Dangerous’ most exciting addition - aliens. Discovered nearly a year ago now, the sudden arrival of the aliens in Elite: Dangerous shocked players and spawned an erratic array of theories about what their purpose might be....

Fans of Final Fantasy 14 excited for its Endwalker expansion likely know that the hit MMO will finally explore Garlemald, or the Garlean Empire. Albeit primarily an antagonist faction, Endwalker seems to plan on unveiling the curtain to a more compelling look inside the Empire’s machinations. Moreover, given the Garlean Empire’s presence in the Final Fantasy MMO, it seems its ultimate fate in Endwalker can change the status quo for the entire game....

WWII Online FPS Enlisted, developed by DarkFlow Software and published by Gaijin Entertainment, will be released for PS5 in paid closed beta on March 2. The game’s closed beta first launched for PC via Gaijin.net and Xbox Series X|S in November 2020. A squad-based MMO shooter that reconstructs World War II battles, Enlisted features infantry, ground vehicles and aircraft engaging in combat on the same WWII-themed maps. In the game, players take control of either a squad of four to seven soldiers of various classes, a tank crew or an aircraft pilot....

Epic Games released a new content update for Fornite yesterday across all systems, but Nintendo Switch owners might have noticed that a key feature was actually taken away from the game. Switch owners can no longer use the hardware’s ability to capture video while playing. The absence of video capture on Fortnite was somewhat baffling to fans over on the game’s subreddit as it wasn’t actually listed in the patch notes....

The latest Epic Games Store free game has now been revealed, with users able to claim My Time at Portia from now until December 27 at 8:00am PT.

Few businesses have remained untouched by the effects of the coronavirus pandemic. Location-based entertainment like arcades and escape rooms have had no choice but to close their doors in order to protect public health. Companies like The Escape Game that offer in-person group experiences are suddenly unable to bring players into their custom-built facilities to play. After months of mandatory quarantine and with no end in sight in many places, The Escape Game decided to reinvent their popular escape room experience as a completely virtual one....

Steel City Interactive is looking to reinvigorate the boxing game genre. Esports Boxing Club (ESBC) is the studio’s attempt at restoring the boxing fandom, and the team’s latest video highlights all of the game’s features in early alpha footage. Steel City’s upcoming Esports Boxing Club aims to recreate the hype that once belonged to EA’s Fight Night series, which the company has seemingly forgotten about for a whole decade. Although EA has found relative success in the fighting genre thanks to UFC 4, boxing fans have spent far too many years without a suitable boxing simulation game....
