Destiny: Rise of Iron kicks off another new week of content for players with the weekly playlist reset, and here is everything that one needs to know for December 27. Not only is it the last week in 2016, but it’s also the last week for The Dawning event in Destiny: Rise of Iron. With Bungie out on holiday leave, it’s been fairly slow in terms of news and updates. Even still, it appears that The Dawning has been a big time success for the studio who took some time to post impressive numbers and statistics on its Instagram account....

The list of villains in coming in Batman: Arkham City is nearly as long as the list of preorder DLC that has been announced for the game. Just recently, much attention has been showered upon Deadshot due to his exclusive reveal last week. Mr. Freeze was also granted some time in the limelight where it was revealed that ice gadgets would be part of Batman’s arsenal this time around. Hell, Scarecrow is even making headlines and rumor has it that he isn’t even in the game....

Showtime’s Dexter revival has found its new adversary for Michael C. Hall’s titular serial killer. Clancy Brown, known for roles in projects such as The Shawshank Redemption and for providing the voice for Lex Luthor in Superman: The Animated Series, has been cast as the primary villain of the returning series. Dexter originally concluded its eight-season run with a divisive series finale in which Hall’s vigilante decided to fake his own death upon realizing that his presence merely placed his loved ones in danger, a realization prompted by the death of his sister Debra....

According to returning showrunner Clyde Phillips, Dexter’s new 10-episode limited revival at Showtime will seek a more fitting ending for the series, after fans were left largely disappointed by the Season 8 finale that saw Michael C. Hall’s serial killer retiring to the Pacific Northwest to become a lumberjack. Phillips, who was in charge of the better first half of the Miami-set crime drama, says that the revival won’t exactly “undo” what happened at the end of Season 8, but instead “basically start from scratch....

There’s an old joke about game testers - or quality assurance (QA) - that I’m almost certainly going to massacre, but it goes a little something like this: a game tester walks into a bar, dives into a bar, sprints into a bar, slides into a bar, crawls into a bar. CD Projekt Red’s CEO just took that bar and cracked the QA department around the head with it. In case you missed it, CD Projekt co-founder Marcin Iwinski posted a video to the official Cyberpunk 2077 Twitter account last night, apologising for the state of the game’s console launch and bugs, while promising fixes and laying out the roadmap....

It won’t all be tinsel and Aled Jones on TV this festive season, to balance out the sweetness, BBC One has prepared us a dread delight in the form of a new adaptation of Bram Stoker’s 1897 novel Dracula. It comes from Sherlock creators Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat, who’ve turned their attention from the most-filmed fictional character of all time to the second most-filmed fictional character of all time (“As we work our way down the list of plagiarism,” joked Moffat at the series launch)....

Dragon Age 4 is in active development at BioWare. There isn’t currently much known about the new sequel or when it will be released, but the current state of the game is becoming more clear. The game has already had a somewhat “troubled” development cycle, with it being restarted at least once. With recent teaser trailers and a surprising change in direction from publisher Electronic Arts, Dragon Age 4 seems to be moving forward at a more steady pace now....

Dragon Age 4, which is reportedly so early in development that it does not even have a proper title yet, could very well be taking a page from its predecessor, Dragon Age: Inqusition. According to a recent job listing, Dragon Age developer BioWare is hiring a Franchise Technical Director who has experience in developing multiplayer games, meaning that the forthcoming installment could have some type of multiplayer functionality. As to what that would exactly look like, it remains uncertain....

With the first round of downloadable characters publicaly available for players, many have begun to wonder what’s next for the massively popular fighting game Dragon Ball FighterZ. Fans have been well aware that Bandai Namco planned on bringing at least eight characters into the game post-launch, though the company has been quiet on what fans could expect to see. After a recent leak from Japanese magazine V Jump, Bandai Namco has officially revealed the third downloadable character to join the ever-expanding roster: Fused Zamasu....

A new Dragon Quest theme park attraction will soon bring fans into an adventure straight from the beloved JRPG series. Called Dragon Quest Island, the attraction will open in Japan’s Nijigen no Mori theme park early next year. Few game franchises are more popular than Dragon Quest in Japan, where its mascots (such as the iconic Slime enemy) are ubiquitous. While the early games in the series are best known in the West for establishing the archetypal role-playing game formula, its newer games have seen great success both in Japan and abroad....

Dungeons and Dragons has been experiencing a big upswing in popularity since the release of its fifth edition ruleset back in 2014. The popularity of the Netflix series Stranger Things provided a boost in visibility, as its main protagonists began the show playing the tabletop game and helped expose a new generation of players to the popular tabletop game. Meanwhile, video games and Dungeons and Dragons are no strangers, as many big gaming RPG properties began life as adaptations of rules from DnD, and there are many entries inside the main canon of DnD to have graced the video game landscape....

Although it takes a full party of engaged gamers to make a Dungeons & Dragons game come to life, a large portion of weight is always on the shoulders of the dungeon master. It’s the DM’s responsibility to set the stage, present dangerous encounters, offer exciting rewards, and keep players coming back week after week for more action. Becoming a great DM can take years of practice, but there are some common mistakes that can be avoided to help speed up the process....

Dungeons and Dragons is one of the oldest roleplaying games that still remains popular today, with the dice-rolling tabletop game being a de facto hallmark of the RPG experience: its been featured in everything from Stranger Things to Buffy The Vampire Slayer, and remains a strong element of popular gaming culture to this day. While fans have always had to rely on either pen-and-paper or unofficial products to keep track of the goings-on of their D&D adventures, Wizards of the Coast has just announced that Dungeons and Dragons is finally getting a long-awaited digital companion application....

For the longest time, the annual Electronic Entertainment Expo has kept gamers wanting an exclusive forum dedicated to PC gaming on the outside looking in, as the conference has ultimately become more driven toward the most recent offerings for consoles. However, the organizers behind E3 2015 has taken heed of such players’ desires and has allowed the editors at PC Gamer to host their own PC Gaming Show presented by AMD and sponsored by Blizzard Entertainment....

The South Park franchise needs to realize just how lucky it is. Traditionally, as all gamers know, licensed titles have a 99.99% chance of being horrible, steaming dreck (Superman 64 is still the yardstick by which all crap is measured). Fellow cartoon powerhouses like The Simpsons have failed miserably to make the transition from show to game. This isn’t to say that South Park hasn’t had its share of stinkers too....

Yesterday, a bombshell report from the CBC accused EA of driving players towards a loot box-centric game mode in FIFA 21. The 54-page Powerpoint presentation included various descriptions of how FIFA 21 would “funnel players towards FIFA Ultimate Team (FUT) from other modes” and how “all roads lead to FUT”, a “cornerstone” of FIFA 21. FIFA Ultimate Team is a controversial game mode for multiple reasons, but chief among them is the ability for players to purchase Player Packs–a loot box analog designed to look like trading cards....

The Epic Games Store has been pitched as a major Steam competitor in digital game sales. The Epic Games store offers a better revenue split for developers, offers free games like Subnautica to users, and has no community features (therefore avoiding toxicity on its platform). Another feature the Epic Games Store holds over Steam is the quality of its games, which Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney was keen to point out....

Marvel Studios’ Eternals director Chloe Zhao will take on the infamous Universal Pictures monster Dracula in a new film that’s reported to be in the style of a"futuristic sci-fi western". Zhao will stake it out as a writer, director, and producer of the film. In late September of 2018, Zhao was hired by Marvel Studios to direct the upcoming superhero film, Eternals, which will star a diverse and talented cast including Angelina Jolie and Kumail Nanjiani....
