Crash Bandicoot 4 dropped on Battle.net for PC users last week, and despite being single-player with local co-op, it faced a slew of network errors that rendered the game unplayable for many. This is because it’s online-only, but Blizzard has fixed its servers. On its launch, many players reported that they couldn’t play the game, turned away by connection errors as Blizzard wouldn’t let them in, as the authentication servers had gone down for several hours....

There’s a reason that, from a design standpoint, Blizzard’s Overwatch has been heavily emulated by competitors over the past year. Blizzard’s fastest growing franchise is an eclectic mix of RPG team-building, action-oriented gameplay, and loot collection that seems to appeal to an incredibly broad range of gaming fans. While the gameplay itself is exhilarating, the promised reward of rare loot - as long as gamers either spend money or grind events - keeps even the most casual fan coming back....

Long gone are the days of having to physically travel to a brick-and-mortar building to snag the latest movies and video games to have made their way to Blockbuster store shelves for rental and home-viewing consumption. As 90s kids (now old enough to have kids of their own) pine for the glory days of yesteryear, they can now share a reenvisioned Blockbuster experience with their families, thanks to new The Blockbuster Party Game....

Metroidvania Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night will be receiving a worldwide release smartphone port very soon. Announced by NetEase Games and ArtPlay, the game will be released as a “one-time purchase model", which will support English, Japanese, Italian, French, German, Spanish, Russian, Portuguese, and Korean languages. After the Nintendo Switch sales for Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night exceeded the expectations of game creator Koji Igarashi, it was only a matter of time before the title expanded its demon-hunting to other platforms....

At its annual E3 2019 press conference, Microsoft showed off an all new trailer for Borderlands 3. Quietly behind the scenes, Gearbox Software revealed its own new trailer for one of the worst kept secrets regarding free DLC for Borderlands 2. As expected, the new DLC is now available and gives players a taste of what they can expect when Borderlands 3 launches in September. In a new tweet following the new Borderlands 3 trailer, Gearbox Software announced that the free DLC called Commander Lilith & the Fight For Sanctuary is now available for download....

For years, Gearbox has continued to release new shift codes for Borderlands 2 that grant players access to special loot in the game. These shift codes sometimes expire, meaning that not all of the shift codes that worked back when Borderlands 2 originally released still work today. With the announcement of Borderlands 3 inspiring many to go back to Borderlands 2, some may be wondering which shift codes still work....

The Borderlands 3 release date is a bit more than a month away, and some fans are certain to now be deciding what edition of Gearbox Software’s forthcoming looter shooter they wish to buy. For those that are considering springing for the Borderlands 3 Deluxe Edition or Borderlands 3 Super Deluxe Edition, there are plenty of bonus cosmetic items and weapons to entice them to do so, and Gearbox has now offered a peek at exactly what these bonuses will look like....

Update 4/3: The latest Borderlands 3 trailer has confirmed that the release date is September 13, 2019. Original story follows. Just a couple of days ago, Gearbox Software CEO Randy Pitchford responded to a video game fan on Twitter to confirm that the company’s plans for Borderlands 3’s release date will be officially shared later on this week. Now, though, it looks as if an information leak has taken place before the developer’s intentions for an official reveal, with the leak outing the forthcoming first-person shooter’s launch date as September 13, 2019....

Vampires were once the coolest monsters in all of fiction, but the Kindred in Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines were never exactly fiends on the dance floor. The upcoming Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 promises to bring the horrible dancing from the original game back for a new generation of gamers to gawk at. Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines was set in contemporary Los Angeles and the player could visit several nightclubs in the game....

A brand new Call of Duty: Black Ops is underway, dubbed Cold War, which is set to be a direct sequel to the first game, taking place in the 1980s. It’s more or less what fans have been asking for since Black Ops 2 as Treyarch’s series started off with one of the fan-favorite campaigns. As such, we’re gonna see some familiar faces and that’s not just to mention the appearance of president Ronald Reagan - hopefully Mason leaves this one alone....

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War brings players a healthy mix of the old and the new. While many were thrilled to see old things like the zombies mode make its triumphant return, others found themselves more excited for new modes like Fireteam. Unfortunately, one aspect of the old that fans didn’t like has also managed to stick around, game breaking bugs. 2019’s Call of Duty titles, Warzone and Modern Warfare, marked a shift in how Activision handles the franchise....

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Season 1 is set to kick off on December 10, and fans will likely get their first look at the new content early next week.

The names of the new Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War multiplayer maps have yet to be announced, but since-deleted images give fans an idea of what to expect....

Infinity Ward has made it clear that it wants Call of Duty: Modern Warfare to deliver an emotional story, and in pursuit of that, the studio is definitely not shying away from controversial scenes. Prior to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare’s announcement, it leaked that the game was going to be inspired by Modern Warfare 2’s No Russian mission, where players actively participate in a mass shooting in an airport, and it definitely sounds like that’s going to be the case....

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare players usually know about new weapons coming the game before they’re actually released. A recent example of this is a leak showing gameplay of an unreleased sniper rifle that is most likely coming to Modern Warfare in Season 6. Thanks to leakers and dataminers, players can get the scoop on glimpses of new guns found within Modern Warfare’s code. Now, another unreleased weapon has been leaked and it looks to be a the AA-12 which debuted in Modern Warfare 2....

Excited to play Call of Duty: Warzone but don’t own Modern Warfare? Then hope you don’t mind clearing some space on your hard drive, as you’ll be required to install the entirety of Modern Warfare in order to play Warzone. Depending on your console, that could mean a file size of up to 100 GB. Call of Duty: Warzone is kind of weird. Although it’s a free-to-play title, it’s not necessarily a brand-new game....

The latest Activision blog brings exciting news to Call of Duty: Warzone players, as an entirely new mode has been conceived and releases at some point during Season 5 Reloaded which starts tonight at 11 PM PT.

Update 8/11: It seems as though most of the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone online connectivity issues have been resolved. Original story follows. Infinity Ward recently released a new update for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone that made a number of changes, such as nerfing the Bruen and FAL, as well as fixing an XP glitch exploit. However, ever since the new update, it seems Call of Duty: Modern Warfare players are having difficulty logging into both the standard multiplayer and the Warzone battle royale, with these problems being reported across all platforms....

Call of Duty: Warzone is in a strange spot at the start of the game’s Season 5 update. Between the lawsuits and accusations that recently rocked Activision Blizzard and many streamers suddenly deciding to “leave’ the game and play more Apex Legends, the battle royale needs a big win to comfortably maintain its position near the top of the genre. That makes it that much stranger that the Season 5 update doesn’t even include notable balance updates for the game’s new and existing weapons....
