A recent sneak peak at the upcoming Dying Light 2 reveals that the map is easily four times as large as the original, meaning that players will have a more open-world experience as they fight to survive. The game is already looking to be one of the major highlights of this year’s E3 event with developer Techland touting a detailed look into what lies ahead. The concept art below is titled “The Good Deed Goes Unpunished” and described as a theme park that has been dominated by time and mother nature....

Techland’s mod-friendly zombie shooter, Dying Light, gets a new update that enables a new deathmatch mode ahead of what could be the game’s last major story DLC. Techland has expanded the Dying Light Dev Tools that are currently available on the Steam Workshop, as the update introduces cooperation and PvP functionalities into the game. The free update gives fans of the game the ability to participate in cooperation-based scenarios and deathmatch maps: an exciting addition to a title that is gearing up for a major DLC release, Dying Light: The Following, which is set to become available on February 9th....

As E3 wound down for 2019, Phil Spencer, Executive Vice President of Gaming at Microsoft, spoke with GameSpot about how the upcoming Project Scarlett is well underway in development and will not be the last console the company makes. The news should come as no surprise as with ongoing technological improvements, so too will there be room for improvement for new consoles, possibly for decades to come until the very nature of how we consume video games changes in some fundamental way....

After a series of backouts from a series of high-profile video game publishers, the Entertainment Software Association remains adamant that E3 is still ‘Beyond Relevant’.

While we all knew that Elden Ring was going to reignite the debate about the difficulty of FromSoftware games and the many titles they’ve influenced, I wasn’t expecting to find myself suddenly conflicted about the game’s difficulty level and general design philosophy as soon as I encountered the first major boss in the game’s open-world: Margit, The Fell Omen. It seems that some fans may have found a few sneaky ways to avoid the fight against Margit (though it does sound like you may need to fight him eventually), but for many Elden Ring players, this bridge guard will be the first proper boss they have to fight in order to progress through the main story....

As we work our way through the slow days of the summer gaming season, it’s not exactly a surprise to learn that many people find themselves returning to Elden Ring. After all, it’s not just one of the best games of the year (possibly ever), but it’s the kind of open-world game filled with secret weapons, items, boss fights, and locations that you almost certainly missed during your first playthrough....

Elex 2 developers at Piranha Bytes provided more details regarding the sequel moving forward and its strongest differences from the predecessor. The team decided not to chase the sheer size of an open world, but to make the territory much more filled with various types of content.

In a conversation with Wccftech, the team confirmed that the game is being created with player feedback in mind....

The Epic vs. Apple trial may have started over a disagreement about Apple’s revenue share and how it was impacting Fortnite, but the early days of the trial have already made it clear that these proceedings are going to bring a lot of strange facts about both companies to the surface. As Epic and Apple release everything from email chains to internal reports, gamers everywhere are being treated to a rare look at the inner workings of two companies that tend to keep things pretty close to the chest....

ESPN attempts to infuse a Gordon Hayward and Utah Jazz highlight reel with some League of Legends flavor, revealing a noticeably large generational disconnect. It’s no secret that ESPN has decided that eSports are important enough that the network should begin to cover them more seriously. ESPN recently hired an eSports editor in an effort to expand its coverage of the nascent competition, and now it appears that games like League of Legends might start working their way into more traditional sports coverage as well....

Apparently there’s a Cosmic Ghost Rider, and he looks bada**. He’ll also be playable in Marvel Contest of Champions, taking part in a new event centered around his battle with the Red Goblin. The mobile game will spend its October with a new Event Quest called Recursion. Apparently the Red Goblin is going to lead an army to conquer the Battlerealm. Cosmic Ghost Rider stands in his way, wielding his signature chain as well as a pair of energy rifles....

World of Warcraft: Shadowlands could have the largest amount of major characters from the Warcraft lore of any World of Warcraft expansion released so far.

As part of a new promotion, Rock Band 4 owners will be able to equip their faux rockers with the Vault 111 suit that’s currently featured in Fallout 4. Given the massive success of Fallout 4 thus far, other developers are hoping to build off of momentum for the game leading into the holiday season. That’s why it’s not all that surprising to hear that Rock Band 4 is set to offer fans on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 the opportunity to deck out their rock-savvy avatars in that all too familiar garb from Vault 111....

The Far Cry games are known for their compelling villains. However, as masterfully crafted their villains are, there are also some supporting characters that have quite the personalities. Supporting characters give the main story some complexity as they act upon their own goals. Their lives show the effects of the plot, and their goals may or may not be complementary to that of the players’. Other supporting characters live separate lives outside of the plot and give the players some nice side content to indulge in....
