Disney’s Black Widow has been overdue for quite some time. Originally scheduled to be the first release from the MCU after Endgame, the movie was in the awkward position of having to deal with the Coronavirus pandemic, which eventually made a full release on the original date untenable.

Dragon Age fans have spent years wondering when the mysterious Dragon Age 4 will make its debut, let alone be announced by developer BioWare instead of just teased. However, it’s possible that development has taken quite a while in part because there are some plot hurdles that BioWare must clear in order to build the game.

The E3 2015 PC Gaming Show was really long in the tooth without much to say, and as such, many people thought it was easily the worst out of all the E3 2015 press conferences.

For years, EA Access has been exclusive to Xbox One (with a comparative service called Origin Access on PC), but that is about to change. Despite Sony passing on EA Access a few years ago by saying it didn’t provide a great value, EA’s subscription service is finally coming to PS4 when EA Access launches this July.

Playing Red Dead Online will give players the chance to complete missions with friends and cause chaos in the Wild West. For some players, going on the search for Easter eggs offers a bit more fun.
