Baldur’s Gate III is currently in development for modern systems, but it’s not the first attempt to create a third entry in the Baldur’s Gate series. A game called Baldur’s Gate III: The Black Hound was in development during the early ’00s, but it never saw the light of day. Throne of Bhaal offered a definitive conclusion to the Bhaalspawn storyline, with the main character having reached epic levels and possibly attaining godhood....
When putting together The Last of Us Part 2, Naughty Dog expended no shortage of details. Tiny details within the game are still being uncovered by fans, from story-changing items to atmospheric mechanics. Even the smallest of details cannot be ignored, as they all play a part in the game’s realism and quality of life. While The Last of Us 2’s violent narrative has bred hot debates since it released, none can deny the expert details that went into the realistic rope mechanics and facial movements....
The Magic: Legends open beta is right around the corner, and if you haven’t been keeping up with Cryptic Studios’ newest action RPG, you might have a few questions about what to expect next week when the game becomes available to all players for the first time. Last week, I got to spend an hour touring the multiverse with principal lead designer Adam Hetenyi. Though the elevator pitch “Diablo meets Magic: The Gathering” will give you a pretty good idea of the type of game it aims to be, my short time with the game has already proven that Magic: Legends is greater than the sum of its parts....
Destruction AllStars, one of PS5’s exclusives, received its own State of Play yesterday. It came in the form of an 8-minute long commentary video that details everything players need to know about the game such as the included game modes, features, and even its microtransaction practices.

In 2010, Frictional Games released Amnesia: The Dark Descent, which is a survival horror game that first came out for the PC before heading to the PS4 in 2016, the Xbox One in 2018, and the Nintendo Switch in 2019. Now, after nearly a decade in hiatus, Amnesia is set to return this month with the release of Amnesia: Rebirth. The upcoming game was first announced back in March alongside a debut trailer that gave players a glimpse of the upcoming horror game....
Fallout 76 has already gained a reputation for being a lonely game, with the notable absence of human NPCs wandering the wasteland. Even so, Bethesda has now revealed that the game features more unique voice lines than any other game in the franchise thus far. In an interview with Comicbook, Fallout 76’s developers gave information on how they’re fleshing out the world of the game despite the lack of NPCs. One such way they plan to do it is with an abundance of voiced holotapes that can be collected by the player....
There are not a lot of options when it comes to the look of the PlayStation 5. In fact, there’s just one: white. That is why artists have taken to creating their own custom PlayStation 5 designs, such as one fan whose design takes inspiration from Sony’s lineup of exclusive titles. If there’s one thing the stark white of the console has going for it, it’s that it works well as a blank canvas....
This Fargo review contains spoilers. Fargo Season 4 Episode 1 It’s been a long wait for Fargo’s fourth season. Noah Hawley’s improbably good Coen Brothers adaptation arrived on the scene as an idiosyncratic, darkly funny crime story, but in its third season, its Midwest charm and stylish execution couldn’t quite hide the fact that the story was lacking and the schtick was wearing thin. Hawley decided to go back to the drawing board for Season 4, then was forced to delay his return to the anthology series a bit longer due to coronavirus shutting down production....
Twin gaming brothers Kieran and Devin Agony, known together as FaZe Agony, had their house broken into last week, and Devin took to Twitter to live-Tweet the event and its aftermath. The twins, who live in Ontario, experienced the break-in on Friday night. Devin said on Twitter that he had locked himself into his gaming room after the criminals tried to break down his bedroom door. Devin’s main concern was for his brother Kieran, especially after he heard a gunshot....
The remake of 2005’s Destroy All Humans! is set to drop on July 28, and while the game looks to be a faithful recreation of Crypto’s original adventure, it appears as if fresh content will be added as well. A brand new level named “The Wrong Stuff”, will let players explore “Area 42”, a location inspired by the infamous Area 51 in Nevada. Players will control Crypto as he explores Area 42 and discovers a plot from the humans to study and recreate alien flying saucers....
For fans of the FPS genre of shooter who know that sales numbers don’t tell the entire story, it’s hard to think of a more respected development studio than DICE, the makers of the Battlefield series. With a devoted fan base and commitment to massive online battles based on tactical deployment and teamwork, Battlefield 3 was, in many ways, a major step forward for both the genre and the company....
Doom Eternal’s The Ancient Gods Part 2 features three brand new levels, the first of which is called the World Spear. As a player make their way through this stage, they will have the opportunity to pickup a number of secrets and collectibles. However, the locations of all of these objects may not be immediately obvious, and the video and descriptions that are featured below will help Doom Eternal fans grab anything that they may have missed on their first time through....
Excitement for FromSoftware’s upcoming Elden Ring is reaching a fever pitch. Promising to be an even more open take on Dark Souls with wide-open areas, horseback riding, possibly other movement options alongside proper stealth, Elden Ring looks to be FromSoftware’s most ambitious game ever. The sheer scope on display, combined with FromSoftware’s history of excellent art and game design, are pointing at the game becoming a runaway success once it finally releases....
Next month marks the beginning of Apple and Epic’s big courtroom showdown over the future of mobile gaming as we know it. Epic is accusing Apple of using its monopoly power to force a 30% take on every digital purchase made on an iOS device. Meanwhile, Apple is clapping back at Epic for a breach of contract when they updated Fortnite to bypass the App Store for in-game purchases, preventing Apple from taking its 30% cut....
Utilizing fire, frost and shock to decimate hordes of enemies can be a satisfying experience in The Elder Scrolls. Staves, in particular, can be fearsome weapons when they’re in the right hands. Battlemages can combine the devastating potential of magic with the tried-and-true protection of cold steel. But unlike pure mages, battlemages are not fragile in the least, which grants them potent offensive capabilities. Any race in The Elder Scrolls Online can be a battlemage....
At GDC 2019, Google announced Google Stadia, its game-streaming, and game-sharing platform.

Just a handful of games have been confirmed for Google Stadia so far. We’ve listed all of the announced games as well as Google’s announced partnerships with studios, as at least one company is making a yet untitled game for the Stadia platform....

Microsoft’s purchase of ZeniMax Media last year gave Xbox the keys to one of the game industry’s biggest publishing powerhouses: Bethesda Softworks. A platform that had previously struggled with providing a steady flow of first-party exclusives to its users suddenly had everything Bethesda Game Studios, id Software, Arkane Studios, MachineGames, and Tango Gameworks had to offer at its fingertips. The question then became: what would this game-changing acquisition mean for the Sony PlayStation?...
Bethesda reveals that major updates are coming to the Fallout Shelter vault simulator, including quests, new characters, new enemies, and the ability to play it on PC. Last year’s E3 was a doozy for Bethesda, and as a result, a big portion of the reveals this year were follow ups to titles that were announced there last year, like Fallout 4 and Doom. Bethesda quickly made it clear that Fallout Shelter is also getting its fair share of improvements, and gamers can expect an expansive new update coming to the vault simulator soon....
Destiny 2 players are often eager to find gaps in the game that they can exploit. Recently, one YouTuber famous for “glitching” has been banned from the game. Bungie traditionally takes responsibility for glitches and exploits in its game. Outside of hacking/cheating (which manipulates the game with third party software), cheesing in-game mechanics aren’t punishable, such as the AFK Black Armory Forge farming. Content creator JB3 had been creating quite a bit of buzz with his “out of bounds” Destiny 2 videos for many months at this point....
