As of today, Epic Games Store users will be able to get their hands on Wargame: Red Dragon through next week, in which another title - already announced - will take its’ place. Last week, the Epic Games Store added Failbetter Games’ Sunless Sea as its’ featured free game. The survival-focused RPG is set in an alternate-universe Victorian London, and sees players taking on the role of a sea captain sailing through an underground ocean called the Unterzee....

Microsoft’s buyout of Bethesda for $7.5 billion has now been approved by the European Commission, meaning that the Xbox and Windows goliath is on track to become the parent company to the studio and publisher behind Doom, Fallout, Elder Scrolls, Prey, Wolfenstein, and more. The SEC approved the purchase from Microsoft only three days ago, and so, with the deal officially underway due to the EU’s own approval, Microsoft can start with its plan to bring more Bethesda games to its Xbox Game Pass along with future releases....

After the success of Odyssey, many have been wondering what’s up next for the Assassin’s Creed franchise. While Origins and Odyssey aided in the series’ resurgence in popularity, all eyes are on the 2020 entry and what history-hopping adventure fans will get to experience next. Pretty much every leak and rumor so far points to a Viking-themed Assassin’s Creed game coming at the end of this year. Some leaks and rumors say Ragnarok, some say Valhalla, but altogether they all point to a Norse-inspired setting coming to the franchise for the first time....

Like many people with fertile imaginations, Stephen King loves movies. He loves them so much, in fact, that he’s appeared in quite a few himself, starting in 1981 with a cameo as a rather slovenly redneck in George A. Romero’s jousting bikers drama, Knightriders (he’s billed as “Hoagie Man”). Over the years, King has broadened his range to include appearances in not just movies, but in TV shows like The Simpsons and Sons of Anarchy....

Being one of the most famous cult film franchises in the world, it’s no surprise that Evil Dead has a fanbase as varied and outlandish as the films themselves, and soon, those fans will star in a film of their own. Hail to the Deadites, an Evil Dead documentary focused on the franchise’s dedicated followers, will be premiering next month as part of the Fantasia International Film Festivals virtual show beginning on the 20th of August....

League of Legends and DOTA 2 might be the go-to for MOBA (massive online battle arena) players looking for a competitive multiplayer experience, but there’s always something attractive about a slightly less intense campaign - and having other modes to play. Wyrmbyte’s MOBA Dragons and Titans puts players on the backs of fire-breathing monsters, and presents them the choice between three distinct competitive multiplayer modes or a single player driven Adventure Mode....

The original God of War trilogy provided some of the best hack and slash action combat available on PlayStation consoles, spanning from 2005 to 2010. Alongside those games were other God of War releases for PSP including God of War: Chains of Olympus and God of War: Ghost of Sparta. There are 13 total games in the series including collections and remasters, but no collection except for the God of War Saga contains the entire God of War franchise....

Fall Guys is once again asking you to vote for what you think are its best levels as it prepares to reintroduce the Fan Favorites playlist. Fall Guys launched last summer with a lot of levels and has added even more since. It added seven brand new rounds to kick off season four a couple of weeks ago. That means the voting form or its Fan Favorite playlist is now a little out of date....

Not too long ago, the video game publisher and developer Bethesda introduced a brand new quest line in Fallout 76 that features a legendary creature known as the Sheepsquatch, which tasks Fallout 76 players with uncovering the truth behind the the fabled woolly terror of West Virginia. Following this update, fans of the online-only open world multiplayer title won’t have to wait too much longer for even more fresh wares, as the studio has announced a new dungeon called “The Burrows” is coming next week, and the introduction of a usable camera is coming later this month....

Earlier this year, Bethesda released an elaborate Fallout 76 roadmap, which provided an overview of the game’s planned content for 2019. Included in this Fallout 76 roadmap was a new game mode, titled Nuclear Winter, which is scheduled to launch this summer. While the developer has not yet provided official details on exactly what this Fallout 76 Nuclear Winter game mode will be, a new leak seemingly offers some big hints on the matter....

Despite its rather abysmal performance issues, Cyberpunk 2077 has still managed to find a prominent place on the internet. With several memes surfacing online both in support of the game and poking fun at the game’s expense, Cyberpunk 2077, along with many of its promotional and in-game material have been used for comedic effect online. Although, this most recent one is certainly unique, even by the standards of Cyberpunk 2077 memes....

When Far Cry 6 releases in February 2021, it will be the latest addition to a series that has been in the works for 14 years. Including several main entries, spin-offs, and DLCs, Far Cry is a franchise that many like to love or love to hate. Arguably, however, its strongest trait has been its interesting, compelling, and powerful villains. Far Cry 3’s Vaas set a model that many thereafter would follow, practically since the moment he asked Brody, “did I ever tell you the definition of insanity?...

This Fear the Walking Dead review contains spoilers. Fear the Walking Dead Season 6 Episode 4 Sensitive gunslinger John Dorie may wear his heart in his sleeve, but there’s still a lot we don’t know about him. That is, until this week’s “The Key.” Fear the Walking Dead’s sixth season continues to build momentum with another strong outing, though this episode stumbles just a little bit here and there. But most of “The Key” works, and works well, thanks in no small part to a solid, understated performance from Garret Dillahunt....

Bungie announces maintenance for Destiny’s servers, resulting in the first-person shooter to be down for a number of hours today ahead of next week’s Crimson Days event. Those trying to log on to Destiny today may be distraught to discover that the servers are down. While this may inconvenience some players, the good news is that there’s nothing catastrophic going on - the servers for Destiny are just down for scheduled maintenance....

Disney has just announced a new set of shorts starring fan-favorite Frozen character, Olaf, and even released the first episode which can be seen below. The first animated short is under a minute and the rest will likely follow suit with this trend as well. What makes At Home With Olaf so notable is that animator Hyrum Osmond and voice of Olaf, Josh Gad, created the short together from the safety of their individual homes....

Bandai Namco has announced that the PS4 port of Doraemon Story of Seasons will be heading west on September 4, 2020. Despite releasing roughly six months ago on PC and Switch, the belated Sony version was announced as coming to Japan just yesterday. Many assumed it would be a Japan-only release, but the company was quick to clarify. For some strange reason, our fellow gamers across the pond will be getting the game a little earlier on July 30, 2020....

Rogues remain at a pedestal for perhaps being the “deadliest” melee class in Dungeons & Dragons. After all, enemies in D&D often end up dead after being subjected to the business end of a Rogue’s Sneak Attack. The Rogue’s damage potential easily places them at the center of a lot of deadly DPS builds for any party. Additionally, their damage output alone almost always makes them a must-have for parties who want someone to dispatch enemies and bosses quickly....

Mythic Odysseys of Theros is Wizards of the Coast’s newest Dungeons & Dragons sourcebook, slated to be released this spring. It is the second setting that draws its inspiration from Wizards of the Coast’s other property, Magic: the Gathering, following 2018’s Guildmaster’s Guide to Ravnica. The plane of Theros takes inspiration from Classical Greek Mythology, and so far there have been some good tidbits about this legendary setting. Here are some of the best so far....

The Wizard of Dungeons & Dragons perhaps started the trend of “glass cannons” in the RPG meta scene. After all, the D&D Wizard began the archetype “powerhouse with a frail body” that many fantasy media still use today. Interestingly, D&D 5th Edition spices things up by ensuring that players have multiple options for building their ideal Wizard. As a result, gone are the days of coughing people draped with old robes and pointy hats....

A little over a month ago, Motherboard reported that EA had been hacked. Someone (or a group of someones) had purchased a Slack token online that allowed them to worm their way into EA’s network and sneak off with 780GB of data before anybody noticed. The data mostly dealt with EA’s Frostbite engine, which powers FIFA 22, Battlefield 2042, Star Wars: Squadrons, and more, along with internal tools and software development kits....
