In a rather unexpected surprise, PopCap has announced that Plants vs Zombies 3 is well into development and soon to be released. Get ready to defend your lawn once again with the next installment of nature vs. the undead! For those interested in testing the game, be aware that like most alpha or beta builds, progress is usually wiped at regular intervals.

Electronic Arts is now the owner of a new patent that could signal changes in the way players approach online game currency in the company’s franchises. The new patent, which focuses on facilitating multi-game currency across different online games, was granted to EA on January 19 and details a system that focuses on multi-game currency ease of use and third-party verification of the same currency. EA’s experimentation with facilitating a broader use of online game currency may not come as a surprise to gamers familiar with the company’s past....

This Emerald City review contains spoilers. Emerald City Season 1, Episode 10 So ends the first (and possible only?) season of Emerald City, that weird, wonderful NBC show that both is like nothing else on TV and is thoroughly mediocre. As I mentioned in last week’s review, whatever you may think of Emerald City, you have to respect it for the way it boldly told one full, serialized story over the course of its first season....

This article contains some Enola Holmes 2 spoilers. “It appears the game has found its feet again.” Enola Holmes’ riff on one of her brother’s most famous catchphrases is a succinct metaphor for Netflix’s reimagining of the Sherlock Holmes mythos. It’s familiar, a little ungainly, but cheerfully cute with its self-aware wink to the audience. And so it is that the game is very much finding its feet, or something like that, in the Enola Holmes franchise....

What would happen if you took Minecraft, Left 4 Dead and Orcs Must Die and threw them all in one big blender? The end result might look a little bit something like Fortnite, the upcoming fort-building and monster-slaying title from Epic Games, in which players are dropped into a procedurally generated world that requires them to build during the day and defend at night. A newly released video of gameplay footage from Fortnite highlights the three different game phases: resource-gathering, building, and the final showdown....

In a saturated racing video game market, can a racing game really distinguish itself? The Forza franchise contains racing simulators and immersive open-world racers. The critically acclaimed Forza Motorsport and Forza Horizon series are two of Xbox’s leading exclusives. The series has taken its place at the top of the genre, but it has a long way to go to truly remain permanent in memory. The best racing games don’t need to add an abundance of content, but they should be vastly superior to their predecessors....

This Evil review contains spoilers. Evil Season 3 Episode 8 Evil, season 3 episode 8 “The Demon of Parenthood” is a mother of an episode. It goes so far over the top in its conspiratorial suspense the entire proceedings veer dangerously close to spoof. The opening scene between Father David (Mike Colter) and Victor LeConte (Brian d’Arcy James) would have worked on Get Smart. The circuitous language is as audaciously audible in the private confessional as the Cone of Silence at the Chief’s office at CONTROL....

Bungie’s MMO looter-shooter Destiny 2 is as popular as ever. The passionate fanbase has donned the mantle of Guardian since the original title released in 2014, eagerly defending humanity in its hour of need. Sometimes, that defense may be crippled by a few bugs that sneak through, but Bungie is consistently keeping its fingers on the pulse of the title. The passionate fanbase can result in some confusion, looking at the titles and expansions for Destiny 2 from the outside....

Due to its unexpected success as one of the top games on PS4 and Steam, the team behind Fall Guys have been rushing to keep up with requested features from players....

Born out of the closure of Black Isle Studios, Obsidian Entertainment has gone on to produce many cult classics like Fallout: New Vegas, South Park: The Stick of Truth, and more. Tapping into its roots, the company has continued to successfully produce isometric RPG style games like Pillars of Eternity and Tyranny, even though many fans are hopeful that the studio will return to the Star Wars or Fallout universes someday....

Publisher and developer Bethesda Softworks officially announces that the PlayStation 4 Pro update for its post-apocalyptic RPG, Fallout 4, adds high-res textures. A couple of months ago, Bethesda declared that Fallout 4 would be receiving PS4 Pro support in the one of the game’s next major updates in order to take advantage of the newly added power to Sony’s enhanced system. Now, the publisher and developer have confirmed that the PlayStation 4 Pro version of Fallout 4 will be receiving a high resolution texture pack sometime next week alongside the PC iteration as well in order to send a “love letter” to fans of the post-apocalyptic RPG....

Earlier today, Sony Interactive Entertainment finally opened the door to PS4 cross-play for Fortnite, which has led many gaming fans to wonder what other titles could eventually receive the treatment at some point down the line. When it comes to Fallout 76, however, Bethesda has now officially confirmed that the forthcoming post-apocalyptic multiplayer release will not be getting cross-play support. As seen in the tweet below from Bethesda Softworks’ Vice President of Marketing and PR, Pete Hines, the publisher and developer won’t feature cross-play “for a number of reasons”....

Destiny: Rise of Iron starts up another new week of content for players with the weekly playlist reset and here is everything that you’ll need to know about what’s new. With all of the mask and candy collecting fun of the annual Festival of the Lost event more than halfway over at this point, many Guardians have begun to wonder what’s next for the immensely popular sci-fi shooter. While Bungie has been fairly elusive when discussing the future of Destiny, the developer has peeled back the curtain just a bit to tease fans for what’s coming for the rest of 2016....

The 1.08 patch unlocks the frame rate for both the PS4 and PS5, allowing for that sweet, sweet 60 frames per second to occur....

Development hell is the place where dreams go to die. It’s not necessarily a death sentence for games, but many good games have been trapped for years in the limbo of whether they will or won’t get made. When games do emerge from development hell, they’re sometimes a huge disappointment, both due to the wait and the fact that they’ve undergone so many incarnations that the original vision has been lost or warped....

The PS5 showcase may be a distant memory now, but it was packed with surprises much like its predecessors. One reveal was Devil May Cry 5: Special Edition coming to the next-gen console, which received a polished trailer featuring gameplay from the PS5. The new trailer opened with puddles - because showing realism in water is one of the PS5’s selling points - reflecting the bustling nightlife. Showcasing the fact that Vergil would be a playable character, the trailer continued into a smorgasbord of action-packed combat, rife with demons and mesmerizing special powers, thanks to PS5 GPU....

This past month, Blizzard revealed the much-demanded remaster of Diablo 2 was in development. Diablo 2 Resurrected will polish the visuals of the original game, add some much-needed functionality to modernize the game’s menus and online, and otherwise deliver the authentic Diablo 2 experience fans want. Few likely predicted just how far developer Vicarious Visions would go to preserve Diablo 2’s authenticity, though. Even the original game’s save files are apparently being protected....
