Found by fans in Bungie’s own Destiny database of items, it appears there are a number of exotics still slated to appear in Destiny in the near future. Destiny fans are pretty notorious for data mining Destiny’s servers to discover content that is coming in the near future. But it didn’t take any data mining to find a new group of exotics that are on the servers but not yet in the game....

And so far, for the most ardent fans, nothing has come close. That’s likely why a re-release of Diablo 2 is on the horizon for Blizzard Entertainment.

Disco Elysium is a game about failure. Mostly you and the detective’s failure, but there’s also a lot of systemic, institutional failures in the game world. And one of them is the Tribunal that begins the endgame. After the lynching of one of the Wild Pines mercenaries, the other mercs gather to organize an off-the-books military tribunal to decide the fate of the murderers. The problem is, they don’t exactly have the authority, emotional detachment, or even the information, to be an effective justice system....

Instead, the platform has opted for providing paid services via Nitro, a subscription that offers unique emojis and enhanced video resolution....

Following Sony’s “Future of Gaming” livestream last month, Microsoft is preparing to show off Halo Infinite gameplay at an Xbox Series X event on July 23. The promise of a larger showcase for the next-generation console’s offerings has fans excited to hear more about a number of announced games, however VentureBeat reporter Jeff Grubb suggests anyone hoping to hear about FromSoftware’s Elden Ring should temper their expectations. Earlier this week, Xbox Head Phil Spencer made many believe Elden Ring news was coming because of comments that Xbox is working on building stronger relationships with Japanese game developers, directly referencing Elden Ring’s announcement at E3 2019....
The new multiplayer sequel to Don’t Starve, which is Don’t Starve Together, is exciting gamers everywhere. There are many new features in the game on which players are thriving in comparison to Don’t Starve. Some of these new features have to do with the playable characters. Each character comes with their specific pros and cons and is unique in their own quirky way. However, some characters are much easier to start with than others in Don’t Starve Together....
Bethesda releases a new trailer for the upcoming DOOM reboot game, showcasing the various demon transformations, power-ups, and power weapons available in multiplayer. DOOM’s release is just a couple of months away, and in light of that, Bethesda is working to get gamers hyped about the game’s multiplayer. The hype train started rolling earlier this week when the curtain was pulled back on the game’s six multiplayer modes, and now we’ve been given a look at the power-ups and power weapons players can utilize in multiplayer....
Premiering during Xbox’s E3 2017 press conference, Dragon Ball FighterZ immediately gained the interest of fans through its past-paced, combo-heavy, tag-centric design. A fighting game with this layout is something that Dragon Ball fans had only ever dreamed of, and now developer Arc System Works is making it a reality. Now that it’s officially happening, however, focus has immediately shifted over to the characters that will be filling the final roster....
The release of the next Dungeons and Dragons book, Candlekeep Mysteries, is just a few weeks away, which means it is already time for the community to start getting hyped for whatever comes next. Despite the usual outcry for Spelljammer and the begging for Dark Sun, the new campaign book is making a return to horror with Van Richten’s Guide to Ravenloft. New Dungeons and Dragons books arrive a handful of times throughout the year and offer players and dungeon masters new tools for building characters, expanding their home brew worlds, or even providing fully detailed campaign settings to help dungeon masters customize a world for their own players....
While Elden Ring doesn’t feature the kind of item rarity system seen in RPGs like Diablo or World of Warcraft, the game does feature a “Legendary” tag used to distinguish notable weapons, summons, talismans, and, for our purposes today, spells and sorceries. You probably assume that Elden Ring‘s Legendary sorceries have to be among the most powerful spells in the game. While there are a few that deserve that honor, the strange fact of the matter is that most Legendary spells are more flashy than functional....
As we were told would happen for months in advance, Bethesda skipped entirely over The Elder Scrolls 6 at E3. While we were all prepared for this, many were still expecting something, anything, even a tiny glimpse at way lay ahead. Why did Bethesda not bring their most anticipated title to E3, even in some small form? There are a number of reasons. First is the obvious, and that is that Bethesda has Starfield, another major title in the works that it has been excited about bringing up whenever possible....

One could argue that Steam and the Epic Games Store have had a contentious relationship for a while now, with Epic steadily building an impressive library of exclusives for its platform. But it appears that it doesn’t need to be this way, at least according to Epic founder and CEO Tim Sweeney, who says that Epic Games would stop buying exclusives if Steam would change its revenue split. For those unfamiliar, Valve takes 30% of all revenue from game sales on Steam, a number that Epic and many developers feel is unfair....
There can be no doubt that Dark Souls and other titles from From Software have left a mark on the gaming scene. Dark Souls like games have become a popular sub-genre, and saying a game is “like Dark Souls” is code for “hard, but fun because of it.” The most notable trait of Dark Souls, as well as other games from From Software that follow its formula (named SoulseBorneKiro as a whole) is the difficulty....
Most racing games today tend to be extremely realistic and more akin to simulators than how racing games have been traditionally made in the past. Gone are the day of death-defying loops and jumps in racing titles in favor of a more grounded approach, but DIRT 5 is aiming to bring back a lot of the stuff that made racing games popular, namely that unique fun factor that other games are missing....
