Boy, The Division sounds cool. A console-based MMO that fuses third person shooting with a deadly, disease ravaged New York City? Divide-and-conquer-based gameplay, focused on gathering resources and building strong, urban bases? A well implemented endgame, and innovative player versus player combat? That’s awfully ambitious, but Ubisoft seems confident that it’s up to the task. It’s not clear if that’s true. So far, the game’s been delayed twice; The Division is now due out in 2016, roughly three years after it made its E3 debut....

A new gameplay demo for Friday the 13th: The Game releases and shows Jason hunting down camp counselors as they attempt to run away through the woods and hide in cabins. Horror fans have been following the development of Friday the 13th: The Game incredibly closely since the project achieved its Kickstarter goal and went into full production. As progress continues, the creators have shared some very cool environmental trailers and screenshots, and very yearly gameplay, but the current build of the game has remained a mystery....

The next expansion for Elite: Dangerous will go in an exciting new direction for the space-themed game. Odyssey will allow players to set foot on new planets and explore them, as well as engage in a first-person combat system. So far, Elite: Dangerous has been a way for players to simulate space travel through a representation of our Milky Way Galaxy, but it hasn’t let them explore planets. Odyssey is set to arrive in early 2021 and let players make landings and walk on the planets they’ve been passing by in their spacecraft....

Epic Games has confirmed that the recently revealed Unreal Engine 5 is in fact compatible with the Nintendo Switch. While the engine is focused primarily on new technologies for next-generation consoles, it will also work with already existing hardware. Unreal Engine 5 was unveiled last week with a stunning tech demo running in real-time on a PlayStation 5. The demo, aptly titled Lumen in the Land of Nanite, showcased two technologies called Lumen and Nanite that will be at the forefront of next-generation game development....

Everspace 2 and Star Wars: Squadrons are very different games, but between them, they have everything I could ever want from a space shooter. While Everspace 2 fills outer space with endless possibilities, Squadrons pushes the thrill of combat to its absolute limit. I’m perfectly happy using both games to scratch either itch, but if they could be combined together, they would make one hell of a game. Everspace 2 just launched in Early Access on Steam this month....

Last week’s huge PlayStation 5 event revealed quite a number of games that players can expect on the next-generation console. From Horizon: Forbidden West to Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, it appears that the lineup of games coming to the PS4’s successor is pretty promising. However, one of the biggest revelations at the event is the confirmation that Resident Evil 8: Village is officially in development. Of course, the announcement of Resident Evil 8 is not at all surprising, thanks to the massive amount of leaks that surrounded the game prior to its official unveiling....

Former Infinity Ward developer Robert Bowling may be teasing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4. Bowling, who was the creative strategist at the studio for nearly six years, has posted some tweets that have fans of the shooter franchise talking. On Twitter, Bowling posted two videos about Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 character Ghost set to a soundtrack of “Hurt” by Nine Inch Nails. One of the videos is captioned with “I will let you down I will make you hurt” as well as “10....

The unexpected fall of Telltale Games in 2018 was a shock to many, prompting questions about the future of the studio’s trademark style of narrative-heavy adventure games. Indeed, the final season of Telltale’s The Walking Dead series was picked up by another studio, but beyond that was a looming hole in the game industry left by the studio’s sudden closure. Now, former Telltale developers are banding together to create a new studio, giving hope to fans of Telltale’s unique story-driven content....

A seemingly random event in Fallout 4 gives players the opportunity to find a crashed alien spaceship and then acquire the Alien Blaster Pistol weapon. The Fallout franchise is full of awesome weapons, and Fallout 4 is no exception. Players have a large arsenal of destructive tools at their disposal in the game, with one of the rarer and more interesting guns from Fallout 3 returning in the form of the Alien Blaster Pistol - albeit with an updated look....

One rather industrious Fallout 4 fan delves into the coding of Bethesda’s post-apocalyptic RPG with a mod that applies cel-shaded graphics to the game. Modder, Redditor, and Fallout 4 fan “Reddit_is_wrong” has crafted a mod that may satisfy those with graphics complaints about the title by incorporating visuals reminiscent of the Borderlands series’ cel-shaded stylings. In order to achieve the effect, the user altered the SweetFX/Reshade ENB injector file and combined a few other mods for the game such as “Darker Nights”, “Fr4nssons Light Tweak”, and “Fallout 4 Enhanced Color Correction”....

I recently replayed the first Far Cry to see if it holds up - it does, by the way - but going back through that original entry enticed me to try the third game. This was an attempt to see if, at long last, I could beat it. It’s not the most interesting, after all, with a cookie-cutter open world and generic shooter formula. Vaas is also vastly overhyped, given that he’s tossed to the side like a chewed-up action figure well before the ending, but I digress....

This Fear the Walking Dead review contains spoilers. Fear the Walking Dead Season 7 Episode 3 I’m going to borrow a page from Teddy’s philosophy that the end is the beginning—at least as it relates to my review of “Cindy Hawkins.” Why? Because by the end of the episode, it occurred to me that viewers’ enjoyment of Fear the Walking Dead’s seventh season will rely heavily upon whether you accept Morgan and Strand as archrivals....

[UPDATE: One of the main actors for Detroit: Become Human, Bryan Dechart, confirmed to Game Rant in a tweet, that the story branches are definitely “spectacularly more bending” than Heavy Rain. The original story continues below.] Detroit: Become Human is the next game coming from narrative-driven game developer Quantic Dream. Previously, Quantic Dream was behind the film-like game Heavy Rain, and now Detroit: Become Human is gearing up to offer around three times as many branches in the story compared to Heavy Rain along with the ability for players to jump backwards and take different paths....

Detroit: Become Human, as a result of being released on PC, has received a few mods. Many of these mods are model swaps, with one of these model swaps evoking the origins of Quantic Dream’s 2018 digital drama. The mod, made by Nexus Mods user ‘InterestingMK’, swaps Kara’s model with her original model from the tech demo that inspired Detroit: Become Human. While it is bizarre to see the semi-naked model in the harsh Michigan winter, it is good to see the mod acknowledge how the concept for the game has evolved over time....

It might still be several years off, but Diablo 4’s lore is always an interesting topic. For one, there are only so many ways a fictional dark entity can come back after being vanquished by lesser beings. Diablo 4 manages to spice it up by somehow going off the beaten path as far as the lore is concerned. That’s why knowing what’s happening or why Diablo 4 needs to happen is one of the few ways to hype yourself up, which hopefully lasts until it gets released once hell freezes over....

Insomniac TV is raising the roof on Twitch with six weeks of competition between two of Try Hards’ DJs against two professional gamers every episode. The music network will be bringing in two sub-cultures of Twitch together with six weeks of competition as the gameplay will be combined with EDM, hip-hop, dance, and future bass from some of the world’s top DJs. Mondays will be starting each week with more light-hearted titles like Super Smash Bros....

Doctor Who’s best known villainous alien race are finally getting their first spin off animated series DALEKS! as part of the multimedia crossover Time Lord Victorious. The official synopsis reads: “The Daleks’ plundering of the Archive of Islos unearths something ancient and deadly. Soon Skaro is under attack and the Dalek Emperor is on the run! Can the Daleks defeat their adversaries and regain their planet, even with help from an old enemy?...

Valve has revealed the latest hero coming to the game along with Update 7.29. Dawnbreaker is a melee based celestial warrior with Super Saiyan-like glowing golden hair and a massive hammer akin to Thor’s Mjolnir. “Valora, the Dawnbreaker, most prized warrior amongst the Children’s ancient creations, is the shining herald of the majesty of order and light,” reads her backstory on the character page. “Molded from the heart of a young metallic star, and charged by golden breath with new life, Valora was called to spread the glow of the Children’s wisdom to the darkest reaches of the universe – setting fire to the heavens with each swing of her celestial hammer amidst an endless battle to keep chaos at bay....

Just last week, Bandai Namco finally revealed the release date of Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot’s DLC 2, which is available now. Alongside the DLC’s release, the publisher has just debuted a brand new trailer giving players a quick preview of what to expect in Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot’s second DLC expansion. DLC 2 is officially titled A New Power Awakens - Part 2, and as its name clearly suggests, it is a continuation of DLC 1, which was released by Bandai Namco in April....
