With the release of the 1.2 update for Genshin Impact, Traveler and Paimon head to the icy Dragonspine region where they meet Albedo for a brand new questline. Albedo also appears on the limited character banner, which may mean that the next 5 star character is confirmed to be Ganyu, an emissary for the Qixing. For most players who can’t afford to spend lots of money on Genshin Impact, knowing how a character fits in a team is important and will ensure that an investment isn’t wasted....

That Minecraft currently boasts an active monthly player base of over 120 million users is incredibly impressive; more so when you consider that the game will be celebrating its tenth anniversary later this year. It’s been a wild ride since the game’s official release back in 2011 and that ride looks set to continue quite some time. Although it seems unlikely that this year will be as big for the game as 2020 was, there are still plenty of things for players to look forward to over the next 12 months....

Google Stadia is lacking that one big hit to help bring people to the service and turn them into paid subscribers, and one game that could do it is Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout, as it could instantly come to a multitude of devices through Stadia. Fall Guys is currently available on PC and PlayStation 4, and a mobile version is being developed for the Chinese market, but there is currently no word regarding any other ports of the game....

The original Fallout series was first released in the late 90s. They were only available to computer players. These post-apocalyptic role-playing games explained how the Vault Dweller and his descendant helped the West Coast rebuild centuries after the Great War. Bethesda would later obtain the Fallout IP from InterPlay years later. They reworked the graphics to make the series more accessible to all players. Gamers no longer had to rely on a keyboard and mouse....

While many fans of Bethesda’s popular post-apocalyptic RPG franchise, Fallout, are certainly excited about the forthcoming 76-branded entry in the series, it’s safe to say that there are still plenty of folks out there enjoying the company’s previous games – particularly those within the modding community. Speaking of which, the team behind the huge forthcoming project subtitled New California have finally revealed the New Vegas mod’s official release date with a new narrative trailer....

At its best, Fallout is a series that inspires players and shows what a western RPG is truly capable of. Many argue that the pinnacle of the series is Fallout: New Vegas. Released after Fallout 3, it had sharp writing, an engaging story, and well-received features. In fact, several of its innovations streamlined players’ experience in a great way compared to Fallout 3. Developer Obsidian would later go on to create The Outer Worlds to prove itself a master of this style of game once more, but Fallout: New Vegas was where players first noticed this expertise at work....

Bethesda is teasing a “significant new feature” that will be coming to Fallout 76 this September, with a reveal coming next week. The latest “Inside the Vault” blog post has been released, and it details some of the changes being made to Fallout 76 over the next month or so. When discussing the reopening of the Public Test Server, the blog moves on to discuss future updates for the game....

The Fallout universe is full of interesting quests and world-building; some of which can be so out of the ordinary that players find it hard to believe. Of course, in the new Fallout Miami mod for Fallout 4, you’ll be able to kill quest givers. Which means that if you do, you might be missing out on things. The Fallout world is begging for community mods. The stories that you can tell in the game are nearly limitless—even if they aren’t canon....

It sounds like gaming is getting even bigger in Europe, where digital sales saw a spike in 2020. A recent analysis from GSD digital data notes that digital sales are up massively in comparison to 2019. In recent decades, the gaming industry has grown to include communities globally. Throughout last year, much of the world took to the indoors to avoid the current pandemic. While this is partly a factor, GSD digital data gives a comprehensive look at the game industry’s influx of digital sales....

Discord is a ubiquitous platform at this point. As a chat service primarily dedicated to gaming and streaming, the application has made a big name for itself in recent years. However, one endeavor from the company behind the service might not be doing so hot: games publishing. Around 2018, Discord began to tout itself as an alternative to Steam. Notably, the company offered developers who joined them a 90/10 revenue split - an aggressive strategy that curried favor with developers big and small....

The Division 2’s first raid, Operation Dark Hours, is live now. The first thing players will want to do is form 8-man squads, and while the looter shooter does not support matchmaking, players have created a workaround of meeting at the helicopter at the White House when looking for a group. Massive Entertainment has also announced that it is working on an in-game group feature after the community backlash but maintains it won’t be as simple as matchmaking....

The Division has so many hackers running around the Dark Zone that even the hackers are now complaining about the amount of hackers they run into. Yes, really. It seems everything has gone full circle in The Division, which has reached the point where even the players who use hacks within the game are now complaining about the abundance of hacks other players are using. Makes sense, right? The recent rise of complaints in the hacking community for The Division - which is completely a thing - stemmed from an aimbot script getting a widespread release, allowing many gamers to easily access the hack....

Released on March 20th, DOOM Eternal gives fans of the storied franchise a new opportunity to satiate their bloodlust. The game delivers in full, with a bombastic campaign taking the Doom Slayer to several corners of the Earth and beyond. The journey is not over once one reaches the credits, however, as there are still plenty of things to do, adding replay value to the fine product. While one playthrough takes between ten and thirteen hours, checking off the items on this list extends that time exponentially....

This Doom Patrol review contains spoilers. Doom Patrol Season 2 Episode 1 The first season of Doom Patrol was the kind of outing that shouldn’t have worked. The band of misfit heroes (who could swear) felt like a premise that would wear thin – as did the novelty of Alan Tudyk as a narrating super villain, and a talking cockroach with apocalypse on his mind. Yet, the show successfully managed a balance of oddball concepts, violence, humor and strong development of characters struggling with serious trauma....

Warriors are one of the three classes in the Dragon Age series. The class has not changed too much from Dragon Age: Origins or Dragon Age II, and has kept most of its specializations the same, the exception being Champion, an addition to the series because of heavy use of Orlesian lore in the setting. Warriors are leaders on the battlefield, and control the flow and pacing of the battle through various talents and passives....

Dragon Ball is my… second favorite anime franchise. Not going to lie simply on the basis of nostalgia alone, Yu-Gi-Oh! will always hold a special place in my heart to put it above Dragon Ball but I do indeed like it. Unlike a lot of people who love Dragon Ball, I didn’t get into it as a kid but as a young adult. Maybe it’s because of this that I don’t see Dragon Ball with the same rose-colored glasses as many people in the fandom do....

One of the charms that attracted people to Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot was how it looked, or more accurately, how it presented itself. The game went out of its way to try to recreate every moment of the original anime as faithfully as possible, and while it made some mistakes here and there, it managed to do just that. In fact, the game prided itself so much on the nostalgic feeling that it generated that it produced a live-action trailer themed around the emotion....

Though the modern-day is undeniably the pinnacle of Dungeons And Dragons fandom, the 1st edition of the game was released by TSR all the way back in 1974. Since then, the game has evolved through a number of new edition releases, culminating in the release of 5th edition in 2014. The game has gained much over the course of these many editions, but just as many mechanics have been lost to time....

Roller Champions is an exciting 3-on-3 roller derby game with beautiful visuals and great music to get you speeding along to score points. The game is available now to try in its pre-Alpha stage, and everyone can head on over to Ubisoft to sign up now to play until June 14. We here at TheGamer have spent about five hours of playtime since the demo launched and have some first impressions on everything from the gameplay in its current state to potential long-term opportunities we might see....

Scorned and now shelved, EA’s Medal of Honor franchise garnered nothing but Purple Hearts during its contemporary-reboot attempt. Transitioning the series from the second World War to the Global War on Terror, 2010’s Medal of Honor and 2012’s Medal of Honor: Warfighter both released to paltry reviews and sales. The former forced EA to admit that it “didn’t meet” the publisher’s standard for quality; the latter forced them to pull the series “out of the rotation” altogether....
