The creators of Disco Elysium shocked everyone with the release of their game in late 2019. ZA/UM’s cynical isometric RPG collected tons of Game of the Year nominations, plus quite a few awards, too. But short of sales, bug fixes, and localization efforts, ZA/UM’s been surprisingly silent in 2020. If there are more plans for Disco Elysium, or something to come after, fans have been left in anticipation. However, that may be changing, as ZA/UM’s now teasing a forthcoming announcement....

Firewalls in The Division 2 choose to eliminate their targets with their trusty flamethrower, something that demonstrates their terrifying efficiency. Players who want to take up a unique DPS/Support role in Ubisoft’s The Division sequel might take interest in the Firewall - a tactical equivalent of a mage with devastating fire-based skills. With this Specialization, Agents essentially have a squad member that dishes out constant damage-over-time (DOT) to decimate targets before they can fight back....

Although gamers may not be fond of post-release DLC, there’s no question it’s here to stay. Even while some companies, like Witcher 3 developer CD Projekt Red, are offering DLC for free, others are raking in huge profits in the after market. In some cases, there are publishers out there who make enough profit of DLC to support a small company. One such company who saw huge margins from DLC in recent months was Electronic Arts....

According to id Software, DOOM’s hardest difficulty setting is so punishing that even the forthcoming first-person shooter’s developers cannot beat it. Those gaming fans wanting DOOM’s single player campaign to be nearly impossible are in luck, for according to a recent talk between the title’s Executive Producer Marty Stratton and Creative Director Hugo Martin and IGN, no one within the offices of id Software have been able to beat the game on its highest level of difficulty to date....

The arrival of Future Trunks in the Dragon Ball manga signified a huge shift for the series. The Super Saiyan form had now been outdone by a single scientist from Earth, who was seeking revenge against Goku for his actions during the Red Ribbon Army Saga. Future Trunks quickly became one of the most popular characters in the series, due to his intriguing backstory and flashy combat style. Trunks would return to the story in the form of the present day version of the character, who grew up in the peaceful timeline that followed the destruction of Perfect Cell....

Retro first-person shooters are making a comeback, and indie studio T19 Games is getting ready to launch its ’90s-styled game, Dread Templar. Players will be able to relive the era of early FPS titles like Doom and Quake with this new game that is set to come out on Steam Early Access later this year. Dread Templar takes inspiration from first-person shooters from the ’90s as players go deep into the bowels of Hell on a quest for revenge against the forces of evil....

With rumors about a potential film or TV adaptation of the Mass Effect games being a constant mainstay among fandom rumors, it’s always a fun little exercise to discuss casting choices for such a project. Now, to set things up, while the 4th game in the series, Mass Effect: Andromeda, is a great game on its own despite an overblown negative reception in certain loud areas of the internet (seriously, play it, it’s good), most people’s minds drift to the original trilogy when the name Mass Effect is brought up....

Clerics are among the most iconic classes players can choose to play in Dungeons & Dragons, and are easily one of the best support classes in the game. While clerics have access to a wide range of subclasses, each with their own additional utility, all clerics have access to the stellar Cleric spell list that is filled to the brim with useful magic that can deal damage, heal allies, and provide additional out-of-combat utility....

In 5th Edition Dungeons & Dragons, subclasses let players add some flair and personality to the standard classes. They are great for homebrewers, since they let players create character options with a strong theme without making a full class progression. However, there are certain things to consider when homebrewing subclasses for different classes. Here are some tips for making an Artificer Specialist, either for personal use or publication. Spells On A Theme Artificers get an expanded spell list as part of their subclass....

One of the best parts of creating a warlock character for Dungeons and Dragons is the backstory and picking a patron. Then after that, players are presented with a confounding amount of options whose benefits aren’t usually explained well in theory, leading to a lot of playthroughs where one warlock would wish they picked this or that instead. Invocations are no exception from this. There are dozens of them and reading through or calculating their practical effects is not exactly as fun as picking spells or other aspects of warlock character creation....

Part of what makes a game series excellent is the developer’s willingness to branch out into new ideas and concepts. Without innovation, a series can quickly become stale and uninteresting, and sequels can feel like a cash grab more than a legitimate step forward for the series. However, not every attempt made by game developers to branch out is necessarily accepted by fans of a series. Bethesda’s E3 2015 announcement that they’re launching a new card game based off of The Elder Scrolls series is the latest example of a mixed response from fans....

Respawn Entertainment gave eager fans a closer look at what lies in store in the upcoming Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order with nearly fifteen minutes of gameplay footage set approximately three hours into the game. Fans of the Star Wars films and shows might recognize a number of Easter eggs, abilities, and characters that tie into the films, as the game is set shortly after Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith....

The Modern Warfare 3 vs Battlefield 3 debate has been going on for quite some time now and it’s great for the industry. Ever since the favorable fan reactions to Battlefield 3’s alpha code, EA has felt it necessary to trash talk their direct competitor Activision, and Modern Warfare 3. EA has been more of the “bully” of the two companies, hurling more of the insults, with Activision taking a more modest approach and saying that EA needs to stop with the corporate slander....

A leaked trailer for the upcoming Soulsborne Elden Ring has been leaked to VGC. While it has opted to abstain from showing the footage for legal reasons, it did state that it’s unlikely that FromSoftware and George R.R. Martin’s collaboration will release this year. It stated, “People with knowledge of the game’s development told VGC that production has been significantly hampered by remote working restrictions.” The COVID-19 pandemic has pushed people to work from home, and this has caused many game studios to struggle in keeping existing deadlines, and it’s no surprise that Elden Ring has fallen into the same boat....

Until Cyberpunk 2077 sees the end of it’s incredibly long redemption arc, CD Projekt Red may never catch a break. Now that BioWare and EA have pulled the plug on Anthem 2.0, Cyberpunk 2077 is alone as the last potentially great game standing, even though fans know it may never be the game they once hoped for. In light of the recent delay of the next set of patches, billionaire Elon Musk took the time to make a quick suggestion regarding Cyberpunk 2077’s driving mechanics....

Not many people probably expected a movie about a killer doll to become such a massive success. However, that’s just what happened with 1988’s Child’s Play, which grossed $44.2 million on a $9 million budget. Those numbers were good enough to spawn a sequel, which ultimately led to the series growing and growing. Along with a few short films, this series features eight feature-length movies and there’s a television show in production....

Fable is a franchise that grew quickly into popularity and then just stopped. The franchise’s last game was a game for the Kinect, that didn’t really sell all that well. Since then, fans have wondered and hoped that the quirky series would make a proper return for the Xbox One. Now that the generation is winding down, though, players have begun to look at the Series X as a great platform to revive the series on....

The new Fallout games under Bethesda are chock full of karmic choices, stat-based dialogue options, and neat little bypasses that can cut out a huge portion of their respective games, barring 4 and 76. However, this is something that was pioneered by the original, top-down, isometric, turn-based entries. What’s more, there was so much more potential in the stats you picked early on - in fact, speech played such an impactful role that it could even be used to take down the final boss singlehandedly, bloodshed averted, in the very first game....

Fallout 76 will soon allow players to build underground bases, according to an announcement from Bethesda. This feature represents the first of a number of changes in the game’s upcoming Steel Dawn update. In spite of poor reception at launch, Fallout 76 has evolved considerably over the last two years. For one, the game has fleshed out its single-player experience through updates like the Wastelanders expansion, creating a deeper story. It’s also added a range of multiplayer modes that give people new ways to cooperate and compete....
