There are a plethora of reasons to be excited over the upcoming Far Cry 6. Ubisoft, as the game’s leading publisher, always takes its games to a significant extreme to ensure fans and players get the best possible experience, be it new features or the appearance of a Hollywood star. As of this writing, the developer has yet to release many details about the upcoming title besides its in-game footage trailer....
In the Destiny Twitch stream this week, Bungie reveals that the infusion system is getting tweaked and will now always guarantee a 1 to 1 swap when infusing gear or weapons. The countdown until the April 12 content update has begun for many, if not all Destiny fans. After a serious drought in content, Bungie has been preparing a fairly large update that promises to not only provide new gear for players to earn, but a completely revamped Prison of Elders experience as well....
With the game’s release date inching ever closer, Destroy All Humans! is already managing to turn a lot of heads with its excess of fun and chaotic trailers. From first looks at iconic levels such as Area 42, Santa Modesta, and Turnipseed Farm to highlighting Crypto’s explosive weaponry, it seems THQ Nordic is enjoying showing fans how authentically they’ve recreated one of the PlayStation 2’s most seminal classics. In addition to these incredible teasers, Destroy All Humans!...
A new Detective Pikachu trailer dropped this week and we got a first look at yet another live-action Pokémon. Gyarados. Time is quickly ticking away as we inch ever closer to the release of Detective Pikachu, although not quickly enough if you ask us. There is now less than six weeks until the highly anticipated movie is released as it is due to hit the big screen on May 10. At least we still have Avengers: Endgame to tide us over between now and then....
Following Detroit: Become Human’s gorgeous E3 2017 trailer, many fans of the forthcoming title from the Heavy Rain and Beyond: Two Souls developer Quantic Dream wondered whether or not the game would be releasing at some point later this year. Those who hoped for a 2017 launch for the title may be disappointed, as the neo-noir thriller’s director David Cage has officially confirmed that it will receive a 2018 release date....
If you only lived by what makes the news, you’d think that when not bashing the competition, EA is trying to emphasize their reputation as the Consumerist’s worst company in America by doing thing like forcing online passes, forcing the requirement of Origin to play games, charging players for in-game unlocks and renting out official Battlefield 3 servers to the detriment of players looking for “normal” online matches. But that’s not the whole story....
Back during the 2020 Game Awards, indie studio ZA/UM announced Disco Elysium: The Final Cut, a free extended version and director’s cut of Disco Elysium. But with no recent news and the release soon coming, fans have been worried that the game would be delayed.

The Divinity Original Sin series offers many incredible experiences with one being that the player can fight just about anybody in the game world. They can challenge merchants, beggars, nobles, and non-aggressive characters everywhere. As one can imagine, this makes for epic and numerous replay options. But some fights are non-negotiable. These usually pair with the story or a side-quest and have more unique features about them. Maybe that’s why both Divinity games ranked second and first respectively on Metacritic’s turn-based RPGs of the decade....
There have been some whispers over the past year that post-Avengers: Endgame, Marvel Studios and the Marvel Cinematic Universe have been kind of… wobbly. Most of that hushed chatter is due to the less than stellar performances, both critically and financially, of films like Black Widow and Eternals, as well as the inconsistent quality of the studio’s Disney+ offerings. Was it possible that the mighty MCU might have lost its direction and momentum once the Infinity Saga ended?...

During the Animation-Comic-Game Hong Kong 2019 event, publisher Bandai Namco gave fans a closer look at its forthcoming action RPG, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot. This game is reportedly the most accurate retelling of the classic DBZ story to date, and it is focused around the titular hero, better known as Goku. However, Goku isn’t the only confirmed Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot character, as the Namekian Piccolo, among others, has been confirmed as a playable character as well....
This DUCKTALES review contains spoilers. Legacy. It’s the theme that’s defined the third season of DuckTales and it’s an incredibly rich one. In a family of adventures who’ve done things no one could have ever dreamed of, it can be tough to measure up. It can lead to a heavy burden; you have to keep one upping yourself and living up to the expectations of those who’ve come before you. This is a topic that’s rich with dramatic possibility… and this week’s DuckTales mostly uses it to tell some fantastic jokes....
You walk through the doors of the tavern, the loud music and questionable singing assailing your ears. The smell of stew and fresh bread overtakes the room, and as you look around, you see that the tables are full, except for one. A single figure sits there, frowning at a scroll, a mug of ale forgotten on the table in front of them. You walk over to them, and they greet you with a nod....

Starting off the video, Smektała talked about the size of the map and how it will be roughly double the size of the map from the first Dying Light....
Need For Speed is an exhausted series. Over the past decade, it’s had blunder after blunder after blunder. Meanwhile, the Forza Horizon and The Crew series have taken EA’s concept and run with it, leaving NFS to the curb. It feels old and shriveled. However, EA has another series left in the garage. It’s been in there for more than a decade, but the Burnout series deserves a new coat of paint on the PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC....
Electronic Arts has acquired the cloud gaming technology and personnel of a subsidiary of GameFly, otherwise known for its game rental via mail subscription service. While EA hasn’t spoken on its plans for the newly acquired cloud gaming tech, the message seems clear: expect EA to implement cloud gaming tech into its games and platforms in the relatively near future. Ken Moss, Chief Technology Officer of Electronic Arts, expounded on the publisher’s thoughts on cloud gaming and the new acquisition:...
NetherRealm Studios director Ed Boon is teasing Nightwolf on social media using a Pulp Fiction quote. Nightwolf is coming. We knew that way back when the Kombat Pack was first announced and revealed along with Sindel, Shang Tsung, and Todd McFarlane’s Spawn way back in May. Shang Tsung was first of the group to arrive in June, and Sindel seems to be next judging by the tweet Boon sent out earlier this week....
During today’s Realms Deep stream, a rather interesting looking classic FPS title named Effigy was revealed. Drawing inspiration from the likes of Unreal and Quake, this throwback title will feature a more interconnected and massive world with an emphasis on exploration. Don’t think you’ll be circle strafing enemies or collecting bazillions of guns: this is definitely heavy on the sci-fi stuff. Coming from Redact Games (developer behind the acclaimed adventure title Sagebrush), the story for Effigy thrusts players onto a mysterious alien planet and tasks them with destroying an ancient god....
