Unfortunate news from ESPN is that they will soon be shutting down their esports division. The primary reason is, of course, COVID-19 in nature. For a while now, the esports division at the multinational sports news coverage channel has apparently been suffering at the hands of various budget cuts, and rumors of its reformation have been circulating too. But last week an official decision was made and announced to close it down entirely in order to “weather the COVID storm....

Items are an essential part of any Soulslike title, and Mortal Shell is certainly not an exception. However, Mortal Shell’s item system is unique because you don’t know exactly what that item will do before using it, leading to fascinating discoveries or even deadly ones. Every consumable item serves a vital role in Mortal Shell, and additionally, you can build up your familiarity with every consumable in the game if you use them enough....

The Xbox Series X price point has been surrounded by speculation for quite some time now. Potential price point leaks have surfaced multiple times, like the Best Buy leak for the Xbox Series X and PS5 that popped up recently. Now, it seems another potently leak for the Xbox Series X’s price point may have just appeared from a very unlikely source. Apparently, a Pringles advertisement running in South Africa may have inadvertently revealed the price for Xbox’s next generation console....

This week, you can explore the coast of 1970’s Italy in the Wheels of Aurelia for free. It takes anywhere from 10-20 minutes to play the whole game once through, but there are 16 endings in total. Strategically replaying and changing up your choices to see all the different outcomes is what keeps players engaged, though it can get a bit repetitive replaying it over and over. The gameplay is very simple; If you are not interested in getting invested in the story, Wheels of Aurelia is probably not the game for you....

Over the last 10 years of RPGs, both the video game variety and otherwise, players have seen an increased focus on customization and personalization of the player character, as the design philosophy that players should be able to experience the game world as anyone they like becomes increasingly prevalent. One of the most popular RPGs of the decade, however, stands in defiance of the trend. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt’s Geralt is a clearly defined character with a book series-worth of backstory that the player is not made aware of by default when entering the game....

A lengthy list of console commands have been discovered so far in Fallout 4, allowing players to grow huge, slow down time, or even complete the game. Only hours after the release of the long-awaited Fallout 4, PC gamers have uncovered a whole treasure trove of ways to cheat and bypass the system. Like in previous Bethesda titles, it is possible to activate the console, whilst searching the in-game wastelands of Fallout 4, by pressing the tilde key....

Fallout 76 hasn’t been shy about the fact that it’s not Fallout 5 and the game’s spinoff nature allows it to go to some very unique places. Bethesda is taking the franchise in a very different direction this time around, which may make some fans nervous, but it is sure to also lead to brand new Fallout experiences. Over the weekend a lot of media outlets had the chance to get hands-on with a few hours of the upcoming title....

Fallout 76 has managed to pick itself off the ground despite the game’s rough first few months on the market. Two years later, the game is alive and seeing new updates fairly frequently, including Fallout 76’s Steel Dawn update. For those who haven’t been keeping a close eye on Fallout 76, the Steel Dawn update was initially set to roll out to all available platforms on December 1. However, the update was accidentally rolled out early on Xbox One, so Bethesda decided to roll out Fallout 76’s Steel Dawn update early on all platforms instead....

A particularly dedicated fan has recreated The Last Of Us Part II trailer using stop-motion LEGO. It’s the best thing ever and makes you feel suitably guilty for laughing your way through the otherwise deep and immensely gruelling trailer. Pavel Prokhorov of Pavesome Films is responsible for this little masterpiece, which you can watch for yourself right here (make it a priority). Naughty Dog’s hotly anticipated sequel to The Last Of Us hasn’t been the only target for this talented filmmaker....

Choosing a gender for your character in an ARPG is nothing unusual these days, and inclusion is a “super important pillar” for all of the games at Blizzard, devs recently said. Therefore, with Diablo 4, the players can expect “the most inclusive experience” the studio has ever made with a Diablo game. Art director John Mueller talked about this in a recent interview with PCGamesN. From the customization standpoint, the team believes Diablo 4 will offer something for everyone, regardless of however you identify yourself, and Mueller is currently very happy with the variety that the team has achieved through character customization....

Bethesda announces that Game Update 2 is live in Dishonored 2 and adds in mission select and more than 20 custom difficulty sliders like permadeath and more. Since Dishonored 2 launched last November, the development team at Arkane Studios has been hard at work to continue to improve the experience for players. Last month, a new update arrived to the game adding in a New Game Plus mode, which allowed players to immediately start a new play through after finishing the campaign....

With its tentative acquisition of ZeniMax Media, including subsidiary studios including Bethesda Softworks, Microsoft has delivered a message that it’s going to deliver more first-party games during the Xbox Series X generation than perhaps ever before. One developer primed to deliver on that message is Arkane Studios. Arkane is already hard at work on releasing Deathloop in 2021, but it also is preparing for what comes next, and apparently the co-creator of Dishonored has a new project in the works....

From the beginning, Do Not Feed The Monkeys lets the player know that they’re about to play a very strange game. There’s a secret organization, perverts, a deadbeat in a bathrobe who keeps asking you for money, and it just gets getting stranger and stranger. It’s been out on PC for a little while now and recently made the jump to the Nintendo Switch. These types of games are always a little weird on Nintendo’s little machine, but Do Not Feed The Monkeys is such a unique experience that it’s almost worth getting on the Switch even if the PC is a better fit....

Warning: This Doctor Who article contains MAJOR spoilers for both parts of the Season 12 premiere. Do not read if you don’t wish to be spoiled. The second half of the Doctor Who Season 12 premiere dropped some major bombs, setting off ripples in the Who universe that could change the show forever. It all began in “Part One,” of course, when “O” (the brilliant Sacha Dhawan) revealed himself to be The Master, another Gallifreyan who has served as one of the Doctor’s primary antagonists since Classic Who days....

When the Nintendo Switch was first announced, the gaming public was worried about the system’s comparatively low hardware specs compared to the likes of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. It was felt that the Nintendo Switch would be skipped by many of the big third-party developers, as the system couldn’t handle their games, leaving the Switch in the same position as the Wii U. The release of DOOM on the Nintendo Switch seemed to dispel a lot of these fears, as one of the best-looking games of the generation was being ported to the system....
