As promised, the latest trailer for Doom Eternal’s The Ancient Gods Part One DLC is filled with many details on what players should expect on the upcoming expansion....

Fans of the original Subnautica were thrilled when the developer announced a sequel to the indie hit, to be called Below Zero. As a quick background, Subnautica is a survival game where the character’s ship crash lands on a planet called 4546B. The planet is primarily made of water and the player must explore and learn about the environment while finding a way to escape. The sequel is very similar, albeit with some differences that might make or break someone’s choice to purchase it....

The summer is usually convention season, a time when anime fans both casual and hardcore celebrate the shows and culture that brings them all together. COVID-19 ruined all that good feeling, forcing the cancellation of one convention after another as the pandemic stretched on. There’s been no saving many of the smaller conventions run by volunteer organizations but the larger industry-sponsored ones have gone virtual, turning to streaming or YouTube as a way of salvaging a lost season....

With a reboot on the horizon, the Fable franchise has always provided players with a plethora of unique and grisly legendary weapons to collect, from goliath-sized maces to rapid-firing pistols. Whether it be pursuing a campaign of absolute evilness or setting out to destroy all the Hobbes in the world, the Fable franchise presents players with powerful weapons to fulfill the wildest of fantasies. While some legendary weapons are better than others, the ones listed here will ensure that the path towards becoming the most legendary hero Albion has ever witnessed will be met by the fiercest of steel or blanketed by a shroud of the deadliest arrows and bullets....

The second season of Fall Guys has kicked off today, and with it comes plenty of new costumes, stages, and changes. One of the biggest Season 2 additions to Fall Guys is the inclusion of new game modes, with the first mode added being called Gauntlet Mode.

Fans poking around in the Fallout 4’s source code discover the full list of names voiced by robot butler Codsworth, including a host of notable additions to please sci-fi fans. Open-ended role-playing games like Fallout 4 are often more fun when players are given the opportunity to create their own character. A customized avatar is one method of making the experience as a whole more immersive and personal — especially when other characters in the game world refer to you by your chosen name....

When the world is a radioactive wasteland, cash no longer serves much purpose as a currency. Granted bottlecaps don’t make a great deal more sense, but they have been the main currency of Fallout, all the way up into Fallout 76. They’re not the only form of currency out there, though, and the Wastelanders update even introduced a brand new type for you to grind for. The Gold Bullion puts you back on the gold standard and is the only payment accepted by special some new vendors like Regs....

The Resident Evil series is one that has seen many remakes and HD treatments over the years, as seen most recently with the well-received remake of Resident Evil 2. While gamers now await the potential arrival of a Resident Evil 3: Nemesis remake, some Resident Evil fans have taken it upon themselves to give Resident Evil 3 the HD treatment. Called the “Seamless HD Project,” YouTuber Mathieu Philippe posted a gameplay video of what appears to be a remaster of the original title....

Ubisoft’s upcoming first-person shooter Far Cry 4 has quite the legacy to live up to. It follows in the footsteps of Far Cry 3, one of the best-reviewed and most talked-about AAA games of 2012, whose marketing campaign was mostly based around the appeal of the violently charismatic co-anatagonist Vaas Montenegro. Obviously this was a recipe for success, as Far Cry 3 sold 6 million copies within 6 months of its release, and so for Far Cry 4 Ubisoft has once again returned to the formula of using the villain as a selling point with box art featuring new antagonist Pagan Min in a pose that’s noticeably modelled after the Far Cry 3 box art....

Just a few weeks after his retirement from the Overwatch League, former Atlanta Reign DPS player Andrej “babybay” Francisty has signed with FaZe Clan for their VALORANT team. It’s a match made for Babybay and FaZe Clan as the hitscan specialist fits right in with the brand and brings his impressive skills to a squad ready to compete at the top in VALORANT. Babybay played Overwatch professionally since 2016 and went on to play in the Overwatch League for the San Francisco Shock in 2018 and the Atlanta Reign in 2019 and part of 2020 before he announced his retirement....

Destiny speedrunner JukesAndStuff shows off why they’re one of the best the game has to offer, setting a personal best rushing through the Scourge of Winter mission. Speedrunning has become something of a video game community staple in the past few years, thanks in large part to the semi-annual charity stream Games Done Quick, which showcases the scene’s top speedrunning talents across a variety of games. It’s always a spectacle, and it’s frequently mind-blowing, as players glitch and finesse their way through games like Fallout 3 in under 15 minutes....

For anyone that isn’t upgrading to Devil May Cry 5: Special Edition on next-generation platforms (or that happens to own the PC version that is now being treated like a second-class citizen), Capcom has announced that the Vergil DLC pack for the previous versions will release on December 15, 2020. Going for $4.99, it will grant you access to Dante’s brother for use in “Story Mode,” “Bloody Palace,” and “The Void....

When Blizzard released Diablo 2 in 2000, fans immediately clamored for a sequel. After all, there seems to be more to the Diablo franchise after defeating the three Prime Evils. With Diablo and his siblings Mephisto and Baal gone, just what happens to the world of Sanctuary? Thankfully, in 2012, Diablo 3 gives players their much-needed answers. Additionally, it seems Diablo 3 opened the doors to more questions that the player’s characters will hopefully be able to resolve....

When the Destiny 1 beta arrived, it helped boost interest in Bungie’s new IP by a considerable amount, allowing gamers to finally see what the game was all about. Destiny 2’s beta, however, has been a lot more polarizing. Prior to the Destiny 1 beta, players didn’t really understand how the game would work. Bungie’s E3 presentation teased certain elements, but there were still a lot of questions. Luckily, an alpha and then a beta test would follow that E3 unveiling, and gamers were able to finally understand what Bungie was going for....

The “whale-punk” setting of the Dishonored series has long fascinated fans for its uniqueness. The games feature a fantastical blend of unknown magics, the occult, and Victorian imperialism, all of which make them delightful to explore. Now, fans can sink their teeth into the world of Dishonored even further with the drop of Modiphius Entertainment’s Dishonored: The Role-Playing Game. This news may come as a relief to fans, as Arkane had announced it was done creating Dishonored games for a while....

For Call of Duty fans - and there are a lot of them - the regularly released DLC map packs are a low blow to to wallets and bank accounts everywhere. Normally priced at $15 for around 4 maps and a zombie level, the cost price for the additional content is rather ridiculous compared to downloadable games which are often cheaper than. Are a few maps really worth 25% the cost of the full retail game?...

Untitled Goose Game, one of the best indie games in recent times is about to get twice as mischievous — if you can believe that. The game is slated to include local co-op play in an upcoming update that will be free to all who own the game. The surprise hit that absolutely nobody saw coming, Untitled Goose Game, winner of the D.I.C.E. Game of the Year award for 2019, beating out Death Stranding and Outer Wilds, will be adding local two-player cooperative play in an update, coming in a little over a month on September 23rd....

While the gaming industry in 2020 has seen its fair share of struggles due in large part to the COVID-19 pandemic that has forced studios to work from home, it has been a banner year for new studios opening. Whether tired of the same old grind or wanting to pursue something completely different, more and more industry veterans are striking out on their own to follow their dreams. Fans have already heard developers from high profile studios like Respawn and Blizzard but now former high profile members of Ubisoft and BioWare have also branched out on their own....
