The newest supplement for Dungeons and Dragons has finally released, and with it comes a plethora of new features for players and Dungeon Masters. Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything has, as the name suggests, pretty much everything. There are new subclass options, group patrons, magical tattoos, puzzles, and the hotly debated new lineage system. Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything has something for both new and old Dungeons and Dragons players, with an interesting variant cover on top of it all....

After Electronic Arts’ E3 press conference, there was a lot of grumbling online about the Need for Speed trailer. Simply, people didn’t believe that it was real gameplay footage. It looked too good. Well, believe it. EA’s Need for Speed looked just as good in practice as it did on the screen at USC’s Shrine Auditorium. The game’s virtual Los Angeles is, in a word, stunning - even to a native resident, it looks exactly like the real thing - and the in-game vehicles blend seamlessly with live-action footage....

Electronic Arts has opened new resources for its employees and community members to report incidents of abuse it may have received or is currently receiving from EA staff. In a blog post on its official website yesterday, an EA spokesperson wrote, “We take every allegation seriously and we investigate it. We are deeply committed to ensuring there is safe space for people to come forward and taking the right actions on behalf of our community....

UPDATE (September 8, 2020): Microsoft has fixed the issue, and players who own the game should no longer have trouble accessing The Sinking City. Following an initial dispute between developer Frogwares and distributor Bigben/Nacon, there are now reports that people who previously purchased The Sinking City cannot redownload the game. On August 25 we reported that Frogwares had written an open letter detailing what can only be described as a nightmare scenario for any game developer....

Have you ever looked at Gengar and thought, “Yes, I would like to use that great big ghosty tongue as a blanket”? If your answer is yes, then you’re in luck. If it’s no… well, you really need to start thinking outside of the box. Gengar’s tongue contains the warmth of a thousand suns. Anyway, Bandai Japan has announced a brand new Gengar plush with a frankly ginormous tongue. International shipping is available, and this gorgeous Ghost will only set you back, er… $250....

With the coronavirus pandemic currently threatening people and businesses all over the world, the idea of video game delays seems relatively mundane. However, following news that the Last of Us 2 has been delayed indefinitely, gamers may want to prepare themselves for far more delays in the coming days. Almost immediately following news of the Last of Us 2’s delay, Kotaku’s Jason Schreier retweeted one of his prior tweets warning gamers that delays related to COVID-19 were on the way, with the words “bookmark this tweet…” It’s a somewhat ominous warning that more delays are on the way, and it now seems like that will likely be the case in the days to come....

Fall Guys is adding a new feature, dubbed “Big Yeetus,” that should shake things up in a pretty interesting way, according to the game’s official Twitter account. And while some fans may be worried about the additional element, Big Yeetus is completely Chaotic Neutral — not anyone’s friend, but also not anyone’s enemy, at least as the developers put it. Big Yeetus is a giant spinning hammer capable of sending players flying to their doom, or possibly closer to the finish line....

This holiday season, Microsoft seems intent on proving itself to be the company with the largest amount of console bundles for the Xbox One. Just within the span of this week, the tech firm has announced individual bundles with The LEGO Movie Video Game, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Gears of War:Ultimate Edition / Ori and the Blind Forest / Rare Replay (a three-in-one game package), and one built around the Kinect motion-sensor....

When a game manages to garner a loving and dedicated community, stunning fan-made projects and fan art usually aren’t too far behind. A recent example was this Pokémon fan’s recreation of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl in Unreal Engine. While Fallout 76 may have had a fairly disastrous launch, the game has improved significantly since then, drawing in new players and gaining a loyal fanbase in the process. In a mini-interview with PC Gamer, ken4656 shared how he came up with the idea of recreating Rapture and how he revisited the first Bioshock game to “get the mood and structures right....

Despite a less than stellar debut when the game released in October 2018, many have looked to the upcoming Wastelanders update as a second chance for Fallout 76. Not only will the additional content finally bring human NPCs to the game - a feature requested by the title’s fanbase ever since its release - but it will also add a ton of new quests, content, and reasons to continue exploring the game’s world....

We’re inching closer to Animal Crossing: New Horizons’ one year anniversary, but the amazing player creations don’t seem to be slowing down. One New Horizons player managed to build in incredible Pokemon Center replica – complete with Nurse Joy and Chansey. There’s no doubt the recreation is spot-on, but its far from the only Pokemon design the player has pieced together. In fact, they have an entire Instagram account dedicated to their Animal Crossing-Pokemon crossovers....

If it hadn’t leaked months beforehand followed-up with several leaks just before, Far Cry 6’s reveal at Ubisoft Forward would have been something else. Seeing Breaking Bad star Giancarlo Esposito handing his son a grenade, talking about the country of Yara, and more would have been a strong, shocking introduction to the game world. It still checked all the boxes, but fans have also scribbled more in. With the game’s leaks came rumors, and perhaps the biggest and most prominent right now is that Far Cry 6 is a prequel to Far Cry 3....

The Far Cry franchise has had a ton of staples over the year, but it’s always refreshing when something old is made new all over again. For example, while Far Cry 3 abandoned the companion system of FC2, it returned later with more gusto than it ever had before. Hopefully, Far Cry 6 can do that with one FC5 feature. Interestingly enough, Far Cry 5 launched with a weapon customization system that, while not necessarily glamorous, allowed players to set up their weapons the way they want....

The Level Up and Vote event will commence on July 4 and will be celebrated by gamers as they partake in a streaming marathon that will spread across Twitch, Facebook, Gaming and Instagram platforms.

Destiny: Rise of Iron’s executive producer talks balancing Gjallarhorn for its return to the game and what’s next for raids in the expansion of Bungie’s sci-fi shooter. With the launch of Rise of Iron, Destiny will be getting its biggest content expansion since last year’s The Taken King, which launched on September 2015. In addition to adding new story missions and gear, Destiny: Rise of Iron will also see the return of two fan favorites: Gjallarhorn, the exotic rocket launcher from Year One, and a new six-player raid....

When it comes to marketing their games and gearing up to release new titles, one thing that is especially important to games publishers are their pre-order numbers. On the one hand, pre-orders are seen as guaranteed sales to a customer, which helps a publisher take the guesswork out of sales and profit forecasts. On the other hand, pre-orders can also help a publisher make sure that it has enough physical copies of a game to ship out to retailers, and that fans won’t be up in arms when a game they really want has already gone out of stock....

Controversy continues to swirl over the firing of Gina Carano, the actress and former MMA contender who played the role of Cara Dune in Disney’s The Mandalorian. After season 2 of the show aired on Disney Plus, the company announced they would no longer be working with Carano following some incendiary social media posts from her accounts that inspired many fans to call for Disney to fire her. While it is impossible to know exactly what happened behind closed doors, multiple outlets have reported that Carano’s social media activity, where she regularly posted controversial political opinions, including support for the January 6th Capitol Insurrection, had long been a source of contention between her and Disney....
