With only a week to go before Bungie launches it’s final major update to Destiny, players are starting to learn more about what to expect within Age of Triumph. Previously, it was revealed that every old raid, from Vault of Glass to King’s Fall, would be getting updated and brought in line alongside the most recent one, Wrath of the Machine. This meant more challenge modes, old raid gear finally being updated and brought back, and even old Trials of Osiris and Iron Banner gear as well....

Destruction AllStars is almost here after months of waiting for the PlayStation 5 exclusive title. For those who may have missed the announcement, Sony delayed Destruction AllStars out of its original launch window, but promised that it would be free for PS Plus members upon release. Now, Sony and Lucid Games are making good on that promise, as Destruction AllStars is one of three free PS Plus games for February 2021....

Devil May Cry 5 already looks set to be a success when it releases this year, as it’s easily one of the most highly anticipated games of 2019 due to its stylish gameplay, over-the-top aesthetics, and long-awaited returns of Dante and Nero–both of whom will be playable alongside the mysterious newcomer known as V. What’s more is that Trish and Lady will also be making appearances, and even though they won’t be playable at launch, that could change in the future....

E3 can be an exhausting time. Every year around this time we all gather around our computers to receive an onslaught of gaming news and announcements from every major developer and publisher. Of course this year the event was canceled, but that didn’t stop every company from holding their own online conference to shout out every game in a rapid-fire barrage. If anything, E3’s death somehow created a space that led to even more news that we can all barely keep track of....

Fans of modern ARPG hits such as Diablo 3 and Path of Exile who expect the same kind of isometric, action-packed, RPG goodness might have mixed feelings when playing Diablo 2: Resurrected. After all, if Blizzard indeed remasters the classic Diablo 2 for modern setups, this means adapting D2’s fast-paced yet equally technical gameplay for both pros and newcomers to enjoy. In fact, those waiting for Diablo 4might want to keep an eye on how Resurrected differs from D3 in terms of overall mechanics....

Given Naughty Dog’s reputation, it should be no surprise that Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End is a visual showcase, but an in-depth report from Digital Foundry suggests that the game’s tech makes a crucial step forward. The angular Crash Bandicoot has been all over the headlines in recent weeks, reminding us all of a time when graphics weren’t quite as impressive as they are today. However, Naughty Dog’s latest release — the critically lauded Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End — is truly a state-of-the-art video game....

A supposed industry insider on NeoGAF reveals that Capcom Vancouver was once approached with the opportunity to develop a reboot of the Dino Crisis series. While Capcom’s biggest survival-horror franchise is undoubtedly Resident Evil, it also produced another well-known horror series. Capcom’s horror series Dino Crisis traded zombies for dinosaurs, and the original was met with critical-acclaim back in the days of the original PlayStation. Unfortunately, the sequel went with a more action-oriented approach, and the third game was rejected by fans and critics alike for its far-future setting....

After dozens of daily tweets and Discord messages asking about it, the studio behind Disco Elysium: The Final Cut announced the release date today, with it coming out on March 30. This marks the arrival of the detective RPG story on both PS4 and PS5 for the first time, but if you already own the game on PC, it will be available as a free upgrade. Disco Elysium: The Final Cut will also release on both Switch and Xbox Series S/X, but that’s not until Summer 2021....

If there’s one thing gamers need, it’s another online service to sell them games. Sorry if I got you wet with the dripping sarcasm there. But it is a fact that many gaming companies are trying to fill your desktop with their own branded launcher. Steam is still king with its huge library of games and ability to launch the large majority of them. Yet it will soon face competition from an unlikely source: Discord....

The Illuminati may be relatively new to Marvel Comics, but they are one of the universe’s most compelling concepts. The Illuminati have been absent from the MCU, but recent trailers for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness confirm the existence of the organization, albeit in a slightly different form. In Marvel Comics, the Illuminati is a gathering of the smartest and most influential heroes on Earth. They exist to deal with galactic and multiversal threats; complex problems that demand difficult solutions....

As befitting a game with episode titles such as “Knee-Deep in The Dead,” “The Shores of Hell,” and “Inferno,” the lore of the landmark first-person shooter, Doom, was embattled from its inception. Co-founders of Id Software, Tom Hall and John Carmack not only had different visions for what their follow-up to Wolfenstein 3D would be about, but strongly disagreed about the very role and significance stories played in videogames. Hall built a massive narrative design document for Doom, dubbed “The Doom Bible,” while Carmack believed that story was ultimately unimportant window dressing that was secondary to action....

In a recent interview with PC Gamer, Dr. Disrespect opened up a bit about his ban and the future of his streaming career. While the transcript is full of reassurance from Dr. Disrespect that the Doc will return and that his streaming career is not over, there was also some hints that the streamer is considering taking legal action against Twitch. For those that haven’t kept up with the situation, Dr....

Gaming fans, like all fans, can be a pretty dedicated bunch. Many are happy just to buy and wear merchandise, but that isn’t good enough for everyone. A few engage in epic gaming knitting projects, while some go for something more permanent. And short of pulling a Robin Williams and naming their child after a game character, that means a tattoo. While some fans go low-key with their body decoration, others go all in....

BioWare may be working on Dragon Age 4, but by all accounts, it’s a ways off. In the meantime, an alternative has appeared in the form of indie party-based RPG The Waylanders. The Waylanders showed up during today’s Summer of Gaming live stream with some all-new gameplay, as well as the announcement that Early Access is arriving on June 16 on PC. The Waylanders is a traditional party-based RPG, made with the support of ex-BioWare creative director Mike Laidlaw, who worked on the Dragon Age franchise, Mass Effect, and Jade Empire....

Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot has leaked yet more information regarding its upcoming Dragon Ball Super themed DLC, again in the form of images from credible Dragon Ball reporter, Dragon Ball Hype. These images show Super Saiyan God Goku facing off against Raditz, Super Saiyan God Vegeta battling Dodoria, as well as the Saiyans battling against Beerus. While this information is certainly exciting, it is high time that fans get a real reveal from CyberConnect2 or Bandai Namco about what the season pass will actually contain....

The universe of The Elder Scrolls is practically bursting at the seams with the fantastic and impossible phenomenon. The rich lore an RPG fan can glean from this series will have them falling down wiki rabbit-holes for days on end. Elements of the strange and bizarre range from world-changing events and objects to seemingly mundane cultural practices. Whatever the case, there can be no doubt that all of them are interesting, no matter how simple they may appear....

Dune was one of our 2021 movie highlights, and its episodic nature means that we’ve been itching for the sequel ever since. The first movie was bold enough to call itself Dune: Part One, even though, at the time, a sequel was not guaranteed. Thankfully, that’s no longer the case, and the second instalment will arrive in 2023. Here’s everything we know so far, including the release date, who’s in it, where you can watch it and more....

Summer is always a big time for video games. Game merchants hold blockbuster sales, developers and studios come together for major game conferences, and of course, it’s a strong season for video game releases. There’s already tons of big titles lined up for release in the summer of 2021, in spite of the lingering effects of the COVID pandemic. To name only a few, this summer will see the release of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD, No More Heroes 3, Ratchet and Clank: Rifts Apart, and Back 4 Blood....

In 2020 and 2021, many conventions that relied on large physical crowds, such as E3, were canceled to help prevent the potential spread of COVID-19. While some of those expos have since reopened their gates to live attendees, we now know that E3 2022 will not only not take place as a physical event but will also not be replaced with a digital showcase (as was previously rumored). Recently, the Entertainment Software Association announced that they have decided to completely cancel E3 2022....

While the gaming populace was instantly filled with equal parts elation and apprehension over the announcement of EA’s exclusive licensing deal for the Star Wars IP, a lot of that trepidation should easily be calmed once gamers get their hands on the games. Unfortunately, as it turns out, that won’t be any time soon. According to an Electronic Arts investor call, the publisher will not deliver any Star Wars games during their fiscal year 2013....
