Since the project was first announced at E3 2015, Final Fantasy 7 Remake has been one of the most hotly anticipated games around. However, it seems that fans are going to have to wait a while before they hear anything else of substance about its development. Tetsuya Nomura, the director of Final Fantasy 7 Remake, spoke to the Japanese press this week about Square Enix’s current projects. While he noted that the game was making good forward progress, it seems clear that the studio has no plans to start its marketing push just yet....

With Dragon Age 4 taking its fans to the lands of Tevinter, it is worth reading up on the lore of the region. While players have never gone to Tevinter, they certainly have heard a lot about it in the books and games. It is a magocracy, where only those with magical abilities can have any real power. Much is built upon magic and slave labor. Dragons used to be worshipped and many believe it is the ancient magisters who committed the major sin of breaking into the Golden City and creating the darkspawn....

This article contains spoilers for Elden Ring. Elden Ring is certainly FromSoftware’s biggest game yet, but like other Soulsborne titles, the story doesn’t hold players’ hands. Gamers have to keep track of their quests and progression without the aid of a checklist, which can leave many scratching their heads when it comes time to actually finish the main story. Like many open-world games, it’s generally a bad idea to rush through Elden Ring and only tackle the “main story....

Does cutting through hordes of enemies with nary a scratch to show for it sound appealing? Then playing as a “tank,” in RPG parlance, is the obvious choice. The Elder Scrolls is a franchise that prides itself in its ability to give the player plenty of choices. In The Elder Scrolls Online one of the first choices that must be made is which race to select. There are ten playable races in Tamriel....

Pyra and Mythra from Xenoblade Chronicles 2 are finally present and powerful in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

If you log in to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate today you will be met with both Pyra and Mythra, and unless you watched Sakurai’s Pyra & Mythra livestream in painstaking detail, then you may have missed what is actually so different about the pair....

Capcom’s iconic Resident Evil franchise has been one of the most influential and critically acclaimed series’ since the first Resident Evil hit stores back in 1996. The IP has been flooded with releases since then, with the numbered games being supplemented by spin-offs, remakes, and more. Capcom has always been known to stay loyal to its IPs and continuously give them numerous new releases, rather than creating brand new franchises. This business model has worked well for them, though it can be confusing for new audiences looking to get into the series’ for the first time....

One of Blizzard’s biggest upcoming games is undoubtedly the highly-anticipated sequel to the company’s hit 2016 hero-shooter, Overwatch 2. The game was expected to make a big splash at BlizzCon, only for it to not make any kind of appearance during the keynote address. While Overwatch 2 was absent during the keynote address, for some bizarre reason, Jeff Kaplan and his team did provide a deeper look at the game in video presentations afterwards....

In 2008, Extra Life was created with the goal of bringing together gamers from around the world to raise funds for their local Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. Public awareness of and participation in the fundraiser greatly increased when Extra Life began streaming on platforms like Twitch nearly a decade ago. In the 12 years since its inception, the annual non-profit charity event has raised over $70 million to help sick and injured kids....

The official Fall Guys Twitter account rarely fails to disappoint fans of the game with the strange things it tweets about the wacky battle royale title.

The future of the Fallout series is uncertain. Fallout 76 took the Fallout formula and transformed it into a large multiplayer experience, but more than two years later, even Todd Howard has claimed that the last release in the series “let a lot of people down.” Fallout 5, however, could stand to be in a better position than either Fallout 4 or Fallout 76. With the major RPG studios attempting to create a roleplaying experience which feels truly “next-gen,” the long wait for Fallout 5 could be its greatest advantage....

Fallout executive producer and game director Todd Howard even offered his thoughts to Variety on the topic. Howard says that Bethesda has talked with Joy and Nolan about the project for years and that he sees them as “the ones to do [Fallout] right.” Joy and Nolan also issued a prepared statement regarding the announcement....

Many fans of the already existing Bravely Default sequel, Bravely Second were somewhat confused about the choice of name after the announcement of Bravely Default 2. Being the third entry in the series, a title of Bravely Default 3 or even perhaps Bravely Third would have made more sense, but Square Enix elaborated on why the name was chosen. In an interview with Famitsu, Square Enix Producer Tomoya Asano explains that he and the rest of the dev team felt that Bravely Second didn’t live up to its predecessor in the way they wanted it to....

Far Cry 5 is already Ubisoft’s fastest selling title in the franchise’s history, eclipsing its predecessor with more than double its first week sales. Gamers from around the globe have flocked to experience Ubisoft’s take on rural Montana, which released on March 27, 2018.

Ubisoft recently unveiled a teaser trailer for Far Cry 5 that welcomed players to Hope County, Montana. Shortly after, the company pulled back the curtain on Far Cry 5’s cover art, which depicts a line-up of the sequel’s apparent villains settled down at a table to break bread (and possibly break bones, too). But who exactly are these flannel-clad, shotgun wielding Montanans? Who’s the “sinner,” and what’s that bloodied dog doing with its paws on the table?...

This article contains Fear Street Part Two: 1978 spoilers. When it comes to horror movies, things are never as easy as they first appear.

Last year, when Microsoft announced the $7.5 billion acquisition of ZeniMax Media (parent company of Bethesda Game Studios), many were surprised. However, for franchises like Fallout, The Elder Scrolls, Doom, Dishonored, and more, the acquisition made perfect sense for Xbox. Xbox spent much of the last console generation’s early months on the back foot, with Sony and PlayStation seeing massive success and over 100 million consoles sold. Boosting the exclusive catalogue with Bethesda/ZeniMax games is exactly how Xbox and Microsoft intends to stake its claim to success, similar to PlayStation’s exclusive game studios....
