Lionhead Studios, creators of the Fable franchise, surprised their fans after announcing the next game in the franchise wouldn’t be a sprawling single player focused role playing game like past games, but would instead be a free-to-play cooperative RPG action game. Fable Legends pits four human-controlled heroes together, as they battle traps and enemies placed in the world by a player-controlled villain. While news and gameplay have been somewhat scarce for Fable Legends through its development, Microsoft did make a major announcement a few months back at E3, not only revealing that the game would be coming to PC as well, but also that Xbox One and Windows 10 players would be able to play with each other through cross-play....

The first batter up for HBO Max and WarnerMedia’s dual release strategy was Wonder Woman 1984 and even though Diana Prince proved to be a streaming hit, she was far off from a home run with critics and audiences. Unlike the first Wonder Woman film, the sequel Wonder Woman 1984 failed to universally charm viewers in the same way despite great performances from Kristen Wiig and Pedro Pascal as the film’s villains, Cheetah and Maxwell Lord, respectively....

It is quite easy to get fooled by the internet; a tweet here, or a fake article there can trick even ardent fans. One thing that perhaps does not get past gamers as easily is an entire video game trailer, which was the case with a recent The Last of Us teaser. Video game trailers are so detailed and well-made that faking one is difficult to do. However, a recent fake teaser of The Last of Us was uploaded to YouTube and it fooled quite a few fans....

A brand new skin is coming to Fall Guys, one that combines two beloved recent indie titles. An Untitled Goose Game skin is set to release in Fall Guys this Friday, and the costume has also been shown by developer Mediatonic. Fall Guys and Untitled Goose Game are extremely innovative and successful indie titles, although they are very different. While Fall Guys is a last-man-standing multiplayer party game, Untitled Goose Game is a puzzle and stealth game starring a honking goose....

Settlements are one of the largest parts of Fallout 4’s gameplay loop. Instead of solely uncovering locations Bethesda has made, players can also create their very own settlements to create their own wasteland-wide militia. That doesn’t mean that no iconic settlements exist in the game, however. Take Bunker Hill, one of the game’s larger settlements, as an example. Quests, hidden items, and tons of secrets reside in this area for the player to find....

Vaults play a significant role in the Fallout universe. Almost every player character in the series is a resident of a Vault. Each one is unique in its own way and many of them possess some rather sinister backstories. Vault 114, located beneath an old subway station in the Commonwealth, is no exception. Discovering what happened to the inhabitants of a Vault is often like unraveling a mystery. Vault 114 has its own somewhat bizarre history the Sole Survivor can uncover....

Despite the fact that it only released at the tail end of the month, Ubisoft’s Far Cry 5 managed to become the best-selling game of March 2018, with the title having nearly doubled sales of the third entry in the franchise. With this being the case, there are surely a plethora of fans who have now completed all that the first-person shooter has to offer and are looking forward to its forthcoming DLC....

Diablo 4 is garnering a lot of excitement from fans as its protracted development time continues, leaving many fans speculating about what the next class announced for the game’s launch will be. Blizzard has been very tight-lipped about releasing new specifics, especially about the classes fans can expect to be able to play, but if one trend in the franchise’s history continues, Diablo 4 will likely include a brand new class....

For those unaware, Mass Effect: Andromeda has received a bevy of criticism online due to the science fiction shooter’s more often than not odd-looking facial animations for its colorful cast of characters, but despite this, BioWare has officially said that the game’s day one patch won’t fix the issue. Interestingly enough, however, one user on Reddit by the name of by End0rphyn has done some sleuthing to discover that the studio may have actually altered the look of the default face of the action-RPG’s female co-protagonist, Sara Ryder, with the title’s day one patch....

A statue included in the collector’s edition of Gears of War 4 seems to suggest that protagonist J.D. Fenix might have a motorcycle at his disposal at some point during the game’s campaign. Yesterday, Microsoft detailed the Ultimate Edition of one of its biggest releases of 2016, the hotly anticipated Gears of War 4. Now, there’s information on the game’s collector’s edition — and it might just tease a major set-piece set to be included as part of its campaign....

The Xbox Series X is set to arrive on store shelves this holiday season. Microsoft has shared a fair amount of information about the system since formally announcing it at The Game Awards in December, but it’s kept pretty quiet on the console’s controller for the past few months until today. The company finally broke the silence on it as part of a wave of announcements about the ins and outs of the new console....

Doom Eternal has so far been one of the highest-rated games of 2020, earning widespread acclaim and being hailed as one of the best first-person shooter games ever made by many critics. With Doom Eternal reviews being so overwhelmingly positive, it’s no surprise that fans are hungry for more, and luckily, id Software is ready to deliver just that. The first Doom Eternal campaign DLC has been announced at QuakeCon 2020 with an exciting teaser trailer....

The Doom series has been a massively popular franchise with fans since the original launched back in 1993. Unsurprisingly, last year’s Doom Eternal has been just as successful as its influential FPS predecessor. Recent figures show that id Software’s latest addition to the franchise has made millions in revenue since being released last March. As the series continues to wow fans on a global scale, the reported figure shows that Doom Eternal has made more than $450 million according to an ex-id Software employee who worked on the game before leaving in 2020....

Bethesda and id Software showed off some new gameplay of Doom Eternal, the follow-up to the 2016 reboot of Doom, at QuakeCon 2018. Now, more details about some of the game’s other modes, like multiplayer, are starting to come out. While the game will still have multiplayer, the modes available will not be similar to what was offered in 2016’s iteration of Doom. On top of that, it seems Doom Eternal will not feature SnapMap....

Almost exactly a year ago, Double Fine finished a Kickstarter with incredible success. The funding they asked for was a modest amount and their goal was to try to revitalize interest in the slowly dying point-and-click adventure game genre by creating one of their own. What they raised was eight times more than their goal, which ignited a surge of Kickstarter funded projects and forever changed the way developers thought about making games....

Dragon Age is a series full of rich lore and nuanced characters. Each game provides the player with a new understanding of that reality and includes pages of unnecessary content to give the curious gamer a chance to understand the motivations and actions shaping the environment around them. Even so, there are many backstories, origin tales, and other tidbits of information that inform the plot. Unfortunately, the writers never have a good chance to tell the players about these smaller details....

Dragon Ball fans have followed Goku’s adventures since childhood. The young Saiyan had two traveling partners in the first series: Yamcha and Bulma. Things grew complicated with Goku after meeting another strong female during his travels named Chi-Chi. She wore a pink helmet and inappropriate bikini armor, but she was a frightening force no one wanted to fight. Chi-Chi is the daughter of the Ox-King, so she is used to being strong-willed....

Last month, we found out that Bandai Namco was still supporting Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 almost five years later with yet another free update that will add Pikkon to the game’s roster. Now we’re getting news of a second character coming, and that the 12th free update will arrive later this spring. Toppo (Hakaishin Mode) joins Pikkon in the update, a character known for his awesome destructive power and phenomenal moustache....

Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot players are more than likely familiar with the story of Goku. It’s been told countless times through manga, the anime, games, and of course Kakarot itself, but his origins are less widely known. Though Dragon Ball Z is incredible popular, its predecessor, Dragon Ball, rarely gets the same amount of attention from fans. In this story, the inspiration for Goku is clear, as both his abilities and history mirror those of Sun Wukong from Journey to the West rather closely....
