Once miHoYo rolls out the Version 1.1 Update for Genshin Impact, players will get another opportunity to win rare prizes during the game’s second co-op event, Unreconciled Stars. This one will be a bit different than the last, Elemental Crucible, so here’s what players can expect once the content update releases on November 11th. Event Duration Unlike the Elemental Crucible event that only lasted a short week, players will have a bit longer to participate in Unreconciled Stars....

Illidan Stormrage is one of the most important characters across all of World of Warcraft’s lore and will be the first major antagonist of World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade Classic. Introduced in Warcraft 3, Illidan’s decisions have been some of the most impactful across all of Azeroth, and he’s been varyingly portrayed as a villain and an anti-hero since his first appearance. While the character returned in World of Warcraft’s more recent expansion Legion, the Illidan seen in The Burning Crusade was quite a different portrayal, influenced both by indecision about Illidan’s role in the story and by Blizzard’s early experiments using lore-central characters as raid bosses....

The beans are back in town for season four of Fall Guys with all-new rounds, features, and daily challenges that are sure to keep all of the game’s chaotic action feeling fresh. The platforming mayhem begins anew today with the latest update. The futuristic theming of the new content brings us seven new rounds that will hopefully keep us coming back for more. The new rounds include: Skyline Stumble, a new 60-player gauntlet that will test you with its low gravity zones, forcefields, and lasers....

Obsidian Entertainment releases a strange image for its Project Louisiana game that could be a teaser for Fallout: New Orleans, Pillars of Eternity 2, or something else. Ever since a trademark for Fallout: New Orleans was filed in Europe, fans of the Fallout franchise have been waiting anxiously for an announcement. It’s been five months since the trademark was discovered, though, and Bethesda has remained tight-lipped on the matter. However, a recent image released by Obsidian Entertainment, the studio that worked on Fallout: New Vegas, seems to be teasing the existence of Fallout: New Orleans....

The Fallout 76 beta has been announced on the Bethesda forums and will begin in October. Normally, we’re against pre-orders here at TheGamer’s offices. They provide studios with too much opportunity to just cut and run by providing a half-baked product and no incentive to finish since they’ve already got your money. But Bethesda is a quality developer with way too high a reputation to pull such pranks. Plus, they give their pre-order gamers a little more incentive than just some random cosmetics or in-game items....

Bethesda has exciting news for the eight people thinking about buying Fallout 76, as the game will be free to play this coming weekend. That’s right — starting May 14 and ending on May 18, you’ll be able to try out the most polarizing Fallout game in the series for the low, low cost of free. All jokes aside, Fallout 76 has done a lot to gain the public’s interest. It may have started its existence as a barren wasteland, but the recent Wastelanders update brought NPCs, a new storyline, and a new reputation system....

Thanks to the onslaught of new Far Cry 6 information in the last few days, players are getting amped up for the next installment with observations and theories. And a recent tweet from a past Far Cry actor might suggest one theory isn’t too far off the mark. Just a couple days ago, Far Cry 6 information leaked on the PlayStation Store, and while gamers were looking forward to the announcement of a new Far Cry installment, this came as a surprise as it was some of the first news to release regarding Far Cry 6....

FaZe Clan continues to grow with a new partnership with production studio Sugar23. That’s right–they’re making movies now. First it was millions of dollars in funding, then it was a partnership with the NFL to sell merch. Now it’s a partnership with a big-time Hollywood producer to start making movies and TV shows. What’s next for FaZe in 2020, a presidential run? Maybe in 2024, but for now, FaZe has announced that they’re partnering with Sugar23, the production company run by Oscar-winning producer Michael Sugar....

Growing up in the ‘90s allowed me to grow with the gaming industry, from the Nintendo Entertainment System to my PS5 proudly displayed next to my PC. I’ve been there for the platformers, the Maddens, the Call of Dutys, and (of course) the battle royale genre. But one particular genre from my youthful heyday that seems to have fallen out of favor with consumers is the one that puts you behind the wheel of a tricked-out battle car designed specifically to take out other players....

Quantic Dream’s designer David Cage announces Detroit: Become Human is the developer’s next project, showcasing a trailer at Sony’s Paris Games Week press conference. Detroit: Become Human will be Quantic Dream’s next project following its previous smash hit Heavy Rain and the controversial yet aesthetically beautiful Beyond: Two Souls. Cage announced today that Detroit will follow an android named Kara as she escapes the factory that produced her and begins to live a life she wasn’t designed for....

In the short time since the official Anthem release, BioWare’s latest action RPG has received an abundance of fans and critics alike. One who seems to be straddling that fence is Travis Day, a lead designer for Diablo 3 who was largely responsible for the rewards structure rework in the Reaper of Souls expansion. He states that he has been playing and enjoying Anthem, but he also feels that the game falls into “a number of reward system related traps,” which he follows up with a few ideas on how to fix....

Arkane Studios’ new game only been out since Friday but one speedrunner has already completed Dishonored 2 in 38 minutes, or 32 minutes without load times. Dishonored 2 may only have just released this past Friday but already one speedrunner has set an impressive record for the game. Australian runner Voetiem has finished the game in 38 minutes and 13 seconds, taking what should be a 10+-hour experience and condensing it into a single, short sitting....

Dishonored 2 developers discuss Emily and Corvo’s powers, explaining how they are different and why players should expect an ‘interesting experience.’ When Dishonored 2 launches later this year, one of the biggest changes that the stealth sequel is making is that it will have two protagonists. Emily Kaldwin and her father Corvo, who returns from the first Dishonored, will both be playable in the upcoming game and they offer players two very different sets of gameplay tools indeed....

This review does NOT contain spoilers. 12.1 Spyfall In mid-December, Den Of Geek popped along to an early screening of the Doctor Who series 12 premiere at a top-secret location in London. We are banned from saying anything spoilery, and nor would we want to, until the episode airs on New Year’s Day on BBC One. If you’re after some detail-light thoughts on the episode, though, you’ve come to the right place....

To assuage the worries of many fans, Streets of Rage 4 on the Switch is, indeed, totally identical to the PlayStation 4 version. The game’s style lends itself beautifully to a handheld experience, and the Switch version also supports four-player local co-op – and yes, two players can use a single Joy-Con so there’s no need for extra pads. The folks over at Eurogamer did a comparison of Streets of Rage 4 on all platforms it’s available on, which means PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch....

Danko The Dolphin obviously isn’t real. Dota 2 has had some weird heroes, but I can’t ever see Valve naming one of its characters “Danko”. Still, Danko The Dolphin has got the Dota 2 community all confused. What a legend. Here’s his (fake) reveal trailer: Dota 2 Danko The Dolphin Here’s a breakdown of the (definitely fake) hero’s skills: Echo Location (they should have called it Ecco Location) Danko The Dolphin launches a hypersonic squeak that travels the entire length of the map....

Herschel Beahm IV, better known as Dr. Disrespect, is the latest streamer to offer his ideas on the Call of Duty: Warzone. Dr. Disrespect has been playing the latest Call of Duty since its release and has praised the game in a number of ways, but that hasn’t stopped the doc from giving advice to improve the game. Vehicles are pretty common in battle royale titles but are fairly new to the Call of Duty franchise....

Dragon Quest loves a good casino. They have been a staple part of the series almost since inception, and they have always been a great way to waste time and maybe earn your fortune. Like a real casino, in Dragon Quest, the house always wins, so betting your life savings on the chance of a jackpot is usually not the answer to your prayers. That is until you play Dragon Quest 11....

Dying Light 2 doesn’t quite offer the rich array of complicated choices that some hoped it might, but when it comes to choosing between the game’s two main factions (the Peacekeepers and Survivors), most players will probably have a lot of questions about which one is “best.” The very short and frustratingly neutral answer to that question is that there is no runway “best” faction in Dying Light 2. Each offers its own rewards, and because your faction choice only has a relatively minimal impact on the overall story (we won’t spoil how here, but it can impact certain scenes and plays a role in determining which ending you see), your decision will likely come down to which faction’s rewards you prefer to receive and which one you prefer to join from a role-playing perspective....

The Polish game developer studio, Techland, has been working on Dying Light 2, having announced the game all the way back at E3 2018. The game was given a spring 2020 release in 2019 but has been delayed as of January with no definite release date. A recent report claimed many problems in the Techland studio including story and game disagreements and mismanagement were the cause. Now, in a recent interview, Senior PR Manager Ola Sondej and Lead Game Designer Tymon Smektala gave their side of the story....
