When it comes to Dragon Age 4, BioWare has shared precious little about what fans can expect from the upcoming RPG. Dragon Age 4 teasers shown so far have confirmed some returning companions and little else, though now fans know for sure where the game is set. As confirmed by the recently released BioWare: Stories and Secrets from 25 Years of Game Development book, Dragon Age 4 is set in Tevinter....
Dragon Age 4 is BioWare’s next installment in the studio’s fantasy franchise, and one character who died in the last game may still have a big influence on the plot. Corypheus was the primary antagonist in Dragon Age: Inquisition and had deep ties to some of the most important moments in the overaching Dragon Age lore. One of the original darkspawn, Corypheus was once a Tevinter Magister named Sethius Amladaris before a turn of events changed both the man and the face of Thedas forever....
We got our first look at the upcoming Dune RPG by Modiphius Entertainment. It doesn’t go too deep into things like planned mechanics or release dates, but it does give us a gorgeous piece depicting some adventurers running to a ship as a sandworm comes to devour them. Dune: Adventures in the Imperium is the officially-licensed Dune tabletop RPG. It will use Modiphius’ 2d20 system as its base, the same system the company uses for its Conan and Star Trek TTRPGs....
First announced almost three years ago during Microsoft’s E3 2018 press conference, Dying Light 2 was delayed indefinitely in January 2020 and there have been few further updates on the game’s development since. The announcement came as a major shock to many fans given how promising the game’s E3 2019 demo looked, as well as the ongoing post-launch support Dying Light that is still happening to this day. Dying Light 2’s delay also came before the real impact of Covid-19 was felt, meaning something else was going on behind the scenes....
As expected, Microsoft pulled out all the guns at this year’s E3 presentation. The Xbox presentation featured Halo, Tomb Raider, tons of indies, and lots of Gears of War. In addition to the first look at Gears 4, the team at The Coalition also confirmed rumors about Gears of War Ultimate Edition. Not only is the game confirmed, but some Xbox One owners will be playing it way sooner than expected....

Elden Ring has yet to reveal its true identity but all bets lead to it being similar to Dark Souls but open-world. So it stands within reason that you’re not prepared for it. In fact, no one is too prepared for a Souls game, what with little information available with Elden Ring right now. However, based on the title and some shady leaks, it looks like a dark fantasy game as well....
There are myriad of digital video game storefronts to choose from, with the Epic Games Store being one of the youngest. It launched in December 2018 and has been doing well since. Last year was a good one for the service, and Epic Games shared its accomplishments by looking back at what it has been up to. One of its most impressive feats was that hundreds of millions of games were given away to Epic Games Store users....
Announced this past week, the Epic Games Store has officially launched. One of the games announced during The Game Awards 2018 is Hades, a rogue-like dungeon crawler from Supergiant Games. Hades is available now in Early Access, but only exclusively through the Epic Games Store. It’s an extremely understated way to announce such a highly anticipated storefront, but launch appears to be just the beginning for the Epic Games Store....
Sony’s shocking decision to purchase Destiny developer Bungie for roughly $3.6 billion recently rocked the gaming world and left a lot of people wondering what games Bungie actually controls and if they still have any say over the future of the Halo franchise. Well, to spare you a little drama, I can confidently tell you that Bungie no longer controls the rights to the Halo franchise. Microsoft initially acquired Bungie in 2000 leading up to the release of Halo: Combat Evolved as an Xbox launch exclusive....
The stage is finally set for the next generation of consoles, with the PS5 and Xbox Series X finally showing off some of the best upcoming games. In particular for PS5, which had remained mostly a mystery until the reveal in June, it’s good to finally see the first-party titles coming to the console. Whether it’s a Horizon or Ratchet & Clank sequel, or something brand new like Project Athia or Godfall, there’s tons of exciting games coming to Sony’s next PlayStation...
Over the span of 25 years, the Resident Evil series introduced players to a myriad of interesting protagonists. While most Resident Evil games allow players to use multiple characters, others feature a dedicated lead. The remakes of the original trilogy offered a new layer of depth to old favorites while lending them new abilities and scenarios. Plus sequel titles offered new abilities. For the sake of argument, this will focus primarily on the franchise’s storyline leads from the mainline games....
Animal Crossing is a franchise that’s always been there for us. Even in the worst of times, Nintendo has provided us a reprieve from the harshness of reality to just simply exist. Anxiety melts when you boot up your game - whether you’re playing the classic Animal Crossing on the Gamecube or New Horizons on your Switch, it’s comforting to know that there’s a place where you’re in control and can meet friendly faces....
At last year’s E3, Ubisoft announced Watch Dogs Legion, which will serve as the third installment in the Watch Dogs franchise and is a direct sequel to the events of Watch Dogs 2. During the reveal, Ubisoft confirmed that the game will be set in a fictionalized version of London, and similar to previous installments in the series, Watch Dogs Legion will put players in a big city with tons of exploration opportunity and missions to complete....
Dark Souls is perhaps one of the most important games made in the last decade. It has resulted in a whole slew of great Souls-like games along with a major impact on the industry as a whole. It goes without saying that Dark Souls has fans, but that doesn’t do justice to the level of dedication players put into this game. Players have beaten the game at super speed, with mods, even with Rock Band controllers....
The biggest movie in the world right now is Marvel’s Eternals, and there’s no bigger franchise in cinematic history than the MCU. Not only that, but Marvel Studios parent company Disney just made an endless parade of upcoming Marvel TV shows on the Disney+ streaming service the cornerstone of their appeal to subscribers and shareholders in a day long infomercial. And not a single one of these Marvel-related projects would exist were it not for the work and creativity of visionary storyteller, Jack Kirby....
Fable is a classic gaming franchise that’s deeply beloved by its fans. It’s due for a new installment soon, over a decade after the last mainline game, Fable 3, released in 2010. There was a small Kinect game released a few years later in 2012, but it didn’t amaze fans like its predecessors. Hopefully, the next one will be impressive enough to meet the hype (the company is hiring new writers as of this writing)....
Fable 4 rumors and ’leaks’ have lingered for the greater part of the last decade, ever since Fable 3 launched back in 2010 (and ignoring the spin-offs). The franchise is beloved by fans the world over, as it was one of Microsoft’s biggest IPs. In many ways, it’s even a console seller, which is why many believes these rumors and leaks will come to fruition in the next generation. In fact, it makes more sense than anything else....
Fallout is arguably one of the most influential RPGs ever created. Proper choice, fantastic lore, and engaging combat were all cornerstones of the original games that Bethesda have done their best to carry forward in their titles. The more recent Fallout titles have come with downloadable content (DLC for short) to give players a reason to return. New areas, quests, and items make these experiences more refined and interesting than the base game could offer....
Fallout 4 gives players a few perks they are familiar with, while also changing up how players select the perk. Players can get perks from companions or by completing certain quests. Perks can now come in tiers, requiring players to upgrade the perk until they have the best version of it. A lot of perks make a comeback, such as the cannibalism perk, while perks relating to lock picking was added....
