Dragon Ball FighterZ had a strong launch, setting new sales records for the franchise and earning strong reviews. In the weeks since, the game has struggled to hang on to its playerbase, with the PC version’s community dwindling by 80%. However, some of those lapsed players may soon have reason to return, as the first two DLC characters have been revealed. According to the latest issue of V-Jump magazine in Japan, the first two DLC characters for Dragon Ball FighterZ are Broly and Bardock....

One of the most common criticisms lobbed against Dragon Ball is that Goku doesn’t grow as a character when this couldn’t be further from the truth. Goku grows considerably throughout Dragon Ball, going from a naive child to a legitimate martial arts master ready to pass on his legacy by the end of the original series. In more ways than one, Goku doesn’t come into his own until Dragon Ball turns him into an adult....

Few titles in recent years have captured the imagination of the gaming world quite like No Man’s Sky. Since it was first unveiled at the VGX awards back in 2013, it’s been a near-constant topic of discussion — would the finished product be able to live up to its lofty potential? We were given more information on exactly how the game would play at last year’s E3 conference, but that made it clear just how big the developers at Hello Games were thinking....

Game modding is massively popular on PCs, with some games receiving their most engaging content through community developed mods. Game developers have recognized mod popularity and have even taken steps to include certain widely used mods in official console games like the house mods in The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim Special Edition. However, mods are created by a variety of people with different skills and backgrounds that don’t always get together to work on larger projects....

Using good ammo can be the key difference between life and death. Very few games, if any, can match the depth of the ammo system in Escape From Tarkov. As the wipe progresses, more and more players are using higher class armor which can invalidate certain rounds. Many newer players spend their money on tricking out their weapon, whether it be for stats or appearance, only to die in a raid and see the terrifying “400 damage absorbed by armor” message in the after raid lobby....

UPDATE (April 5 @ 11:45pm ET): Bethesda is working with Sony to deploy a fix as soon as possible, although PS4 servers may remain offline for the next 24-48 hours. Because of this, the Anniversary Jubilee will be extended – although details are yet to be finalized. UPDATE (April 5 @ 4:30pm ET): Patch maintenance for ESO PS4 servers has been extended to 6pm ET. Original Story Below The Elder Scrolls Online went offline this morning for scheduled maintenance, but PS4 servers in North America and Europe are still down due to “severe hitching” issues....

Coming in a week after the latest Nintendo Direct, PlayStation’s State of Play gave us a glimpse of many titles we’ve already known about since last year’s PS5 showcase, but offered up some fresh reveals as well. Here’s everything that was shown off during PlayStation’s February 2021 State of Play. Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time We were treated to some peeks at the PS5 version of Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time, which features 4K visuals running at 60 FPS, minimal loading, adaptive controller compatibility, and enhanced 3D audio....

With the confirmation that Genshin Impact’s next limited character banner will feature Hu Tao, fans are excited to roll for the Pyro prankster. Information about Hu Tao has been limited as miHoYo has been recently cracking down on leakers, but with the banner coming up soon, her skillset, constellations, and playstyles have been revealed. Genshin Impact recently confirmed the Hu Tao banner with 4 star characters Xiangling, Chongyun, and Xingqiu appearing as well....

Magic: The Gathering Arena officially released in 2019, helping the 28-year-old card game reach a huge new audience. Arena is the most accessible digital iteration of Magic: The Gathering to date, adopting many of the free-to-play conventions used in card games like Hearthstone, Gwent, and Legends of Runeterra. Despite its innovations, Magic: The Gathering Arena still lacks a fully realized mobile client. Hopefully, that will change this year. Wizards of the Coast launched an Early Access version of a mobile client for Magic: The Gathering Arena on the Google Play Store in January, and plans to bring the title to a wider range of devices later this year....

Legacy sequels, it seems, are here to stay. After Hollywood dipped its toe in the water more than a decade ago with Tron: Legacy (2010) and Scream 4 (2011), reviving titles that seemed all but dead and buried, the genre really caught fire in 2015 with no less than four follow-ups to franchises that had been dormant for anywhere from nine to 30 years. Out of those four (more on them below), every one of them was a tremendous hit, opening the floodgates for more such resurrections....

Players jumping to the Xbox One, PS4 and PC versions of Grand Theft Auto V will have a little more to do in-game than the last-gen versions, a bonus for anyone returning to Los Santos. The purpose of this new content, as Rockstar puts it, is to give returning players a way to “experience the game’s massive world in new and exciting ways.” Although, with the existence of GTA Online and the potential still contained within, new ways to play the game aren’t that hard to achieve already....

When David Bowie slipped away in 2016, he went out in a flurry of artistic output and a regret that he had more to say. His final album, Blackstar, held out the universal promise of the endless possibilities that can be found in vast emptiness of space. Bowie was an out of this world artist steeped in all forms of science fiction, and was even inducted into the Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame in June 2013....

Fallout 4 had a total of six DLCs and although there was a bunch of new content added, there were still many things that players were left wanting out of the game. Things like more skill checks were unfortunately never brought to the table in their full form with the DLCs. Players may have forgotten some of the things that the DLCs added and some of the things they forgot to include so this list will help clear some of those things up for fans....

One battle-obsessed Fallout 4 fan pits an army of 20,000 robots against the entirety of the Commonwealth, as the factions duke it out for supremacy of the Wasteland. YouTuber and Fallout 4 fan Cosmic Contrarian is back with his first large-scale battle of 2016 for Bethesda’s post-apocalyptic RPG, as a legion of 20,000 Generation 2 Synths and Assaultrons attempt to take over the Commonwealth and Minutemen settlements like Bunker Hill and Minutemen Castle....

Ever since the launch of Fallout 76 earlier this month, Bethesda has constantly been under fire from fans. An extremely buggy game, a misleading Collector’s Edition, and an underwhelming compensation offer have all contributed to the shaky relationship that now exists between Bethesda and its fans. The Fallout subreddit is dominated by furious fans who seek proper compensation from Bethesda, and those same fans are now urging fellow Collector’s Edition owners to file official complaints against Bethesda....

This fan remake of Sonic 3D Blast in 2D makes us wish Sega had ended that era with what worked, rather than trying to make a shift as it did with this game. Unlike Mario, some gamers would probably agree that Sonic games peaked when the blue hedgehog was still depicted in just two dimensions. The classics on the Genesis are still played and released as parts of Mega Collections on newer consoles to this day....

Far Cry 6 was originally due in just a few months at the beginning of 2021 before being pushed back due to COVID-19 restrictions, similar to other highly anticipated titles. Likely because of this, marketing for the upcoming anarchy-stricken game has been on the lighter side since its reveal. Between interviews with Giancarlo Esposito and cinematic trailers though, much has been theorized about the games’ villains, but what about the protagonist?...

Indie video game developer Ritual Interactive and publisher PlayWay S.A. recently announced one of their first video games that’s headed for the Steam platform. Farmer Wars is a first-person shooter that pits farmer vs farmer in some good old-fashioned, down home on the range combat. Initial details are scarce at the moment, but the Steam landing page has the game currently scheduled for a Q2 2022 release. PlayWay launched the announcement with the Farm Wars Trailer over on its YouTube channel....

Bungie has released Destiny’s December Update, which changes up Titan subclasses and weapon classes, as well as adding more exotics to the game for players to collect. Destiny’s December Update has dropped and it brings a bevy of changes to the game, including a new weapon rebalance, a nerf to Sunbreakers, the Sparrow Racing League, and more. As detailed last week, Titan Sunbreakers have been tuned down a bit, while the other two Titan subclasses, Striker and Defender, have received a buff....

Diablo 4 has a couple glaring vacancies in its class roster that it still hasn’t filled nearly a year after it was announced. Perhaps one of the most obvious missing classes that a lot of players might be waiting on is the Crusader class. In a game that’s all about slaughtering demons en masse and purging unholy monsters, classes like Paladins and Crusaders seem like shoe-ins, as the classic fantasy standard of monster slaying heroes favored with heavenly might....
