Black Desert Online has been out for nearly seven years now, but it still remains to this day as one of the most complex MMORPGs in existence. It’s a sandbox game with systems on top of systems that players will need to understand in order to excel. Some of the activities involved in the MMORPG might even necessitate actual spreadsheets. Suffice to say, it’s not for everyone. However, if you’re one of the brave souls who want to try it out, especially with the new class and updates released recently, then it pays to know some of the game’s quirks ahead of time....

Sales of Call of Duty: Black Ops spike after the game is added to the list of Xbox 360 titles that are backward compatible on the Xbox One earlier this week. This week, Call of Duty: Black Ops joined the ever-increasing list of Xbox 360 titles that are compatible with the console’s successor, the Xbox One. Since then, we’ve seen just how popular this six-year-old FPS title really is. However, it shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise, given the recent history of the Call of Duty series....

Blightbound, the multiplayer dungeon crawler from Awesomenauts creator Ronimo Games, has been delivering an optimal Early Access. In the first two months of Blightbound’s availability, Ronimo dropped 4 major updates with smaller updates between. In the months since, Blightbound has continued to grow rapidly, but now Ronimo is readying for its final sprint. Today, Blightbound’s 0.7 Final Charge update launched, the last update before Early Access ends and full release arrives....

While some gamers and streamers have a hard time getting the hang of piloting their pirate ships in Sea of Thieves, this blind player shows off how he can play the game without being able to see. SightlessKombat is a blind gamer and streamer who makes steering a huge ship in-game look simple, and he demonstrated his technique on a stream with some of the Rare crew recently. Sea of Thieves is just one of many games that accessibility advocates have been using to promote their cause....

Although Blizzard has not announced anything official, a posting on Gamestop’s website suggests new FPS Overwatch will be making its way to PS4 and Xbox One. With games such as Team Fortress 2 and Counter Strike jockeying for PC gamers’ precious time, it can often seem downright impossible to break into the lucrative PC FPS market. But if there’s one company that knows how to assert its dominance over a genre, it’s Blizzard....

This year at BlizzCon, many fans were upset (to say the least) about the announcement of Diablo Immortal, which will be a mobile version of one of Blizzard’s biggest franchises, Diablo. Recently, it was revealed that Diablo Immortal is in fact not the only Blizzard game that is getting ported for mobile. According to a new report, Blizzard is currently also working on a mobile version of its most popular franchise, World of Warcraft, which will be similar to the augmented reality game, Pokemon GO....

Who doesn’t love firey blasts and explosions? Borderlands’ Mr. Torgue certainly does — and he crafted an entire weapon brand to adhere to these amusing traits. While Torgue-made weaponry runs the gamut in terms of weapon types and traits, most tend to function like small rocket launchers on one level or another. Often, these weapons come laced with Incendiary or Explosive features, while packing raw power and often inflicting splash damage....

Earlier this year, comments from 2K Games parent company Take-Two Interactive led many to believe that Borderlands 3 would be released before March 2019. Teasing a “highly anticipated new title” from the publisher within this time frame, the first-person shooter sequel seemed like the most likely candidate, especially as developer Gearbox Software had recently begun hiring a lot more people. However, new comments from Take-Two now appear to suggest that Borderlands 3 has been delayed past March 2019 and into the 2020 fiscal year....

While the reveal of Borderlands 3 gameplay seemingly went over well with fans of the looter shooter series, the event was not without its controversies. Specifically, Gearbox Software CEO came under fire for claims that the game would not feature microtransactions, despite a follow-up reveal that Borderlands 3 will include cosmetic items for purchase. Now, Pitchford has further set the record straight regarding cosmetics in Borderlands 3, and it should ease some concerns among fans....

Adding a calculator to Nintendo Switch, and charging for it, might seem like a wacky idea, but the reviews are in and the numbers don’t lie. Nintendo baffled Switch owners somewhat earlier this month when it added a calculator to its eshop. The addition of something most console owners wouldn’t consider using on that platform since pretty much everyone has a calculator on their phone was strange enough. Add to the mix that Calculator for Switch costs $10, the whole thing just becomes downright bizarre....

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War isn’t even out yet, but Activision is already looking ahead to the game’s first season of post-launch content. Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Season 1 will kick off on December 10, but fans of the game can look forward to the launch of a new map a couple of weeks before that. Activision has officially announced Nuketown ‘84, the latest iteration of what is easily one of the most popular Call of Duty maps to date....

When Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare first launched and brought new life to the franchise, especially in multiplayer, most fans wondered what the series’ future might look like. Could developer Treyarch be able to build off what Sledgehammer did with their game? Or would the eventual-Black Ops 3 exist in its own realm? As it turns out, Treyarch borrowed some ideas from AW, but the title still charted its own path with Specialists, a type of hero loadout where players select specific characters with unique ‘Super’ abilities, in addition to the usual perks, tactical equipment, and weapons....

Yet another update has been released for Call of Duty: Warzone, and this time a new item called the Armor Box has been added that allows a squad to fully replenish their armor with ease. The Armor Box is a small addition on paper, but in practice, it can quickly change the sway a battle one way or the other during a heated Warzone firefight. Armor is crucial to survival in Call of Duty: Warzone, and veteran players know the importance of staying stocked up on armor plates in case of an ambush or spontaneous shootout....

Call of Duty: Warzone’s latest update makes some important changes to the battle royale, but it may just be setting the stage for even bigger things to come. Dataminers have started poring through the Call of Duty: Warzone update files, and they have discovered evidence that the bunkers on the Warzone battle royale map may finally be opening soon. In the latest Call of Duty: Warzone update dataminers have found sound files related to the bunker doors opening, in addition to three levels of access cards....

The Call of Duty blog has confirmed that an update is coming to Warzone on December 16 which will see the addition of a new map, a collection of new weapons, and a new game mode. This follows last week’s leaks of a remaster of Blackout’s Alcatraz map dubbed ‘Rebirth Island’. The leaks have all but been confirmed as the update description tells players to prepare to duke it out amongst fellow prisoners....

Call of Duty fans had to wait an extra week for Call of Duty: Warzone Season 4 to start, but it’s now live in the game. Infinity Ward released the Call of Duty: Warzone Season 4 update late last night, bringing with it a number of changes to both the standard Modern Warfare multiplayer experience as well as the Warzone battle royale. In regards to Warzone, one of the biggest changes is the introduction of in-match events, with three in the game so far....

While Black Ops: Cold War and Warzone players are heading towards the new Season Two with plenty of added content and game modes, Activision have let fans know about file sizes for both games updates across all platforms. The company openly warned the owners of a standard PlayStation 4 with a 500GB hard drive that their console may not allow having the full versions of Modern Warfare: Warzone and Black Ops: Cold War with all modes and packs installed....

The Call of Duty League has announced two new programs to help discover and boost up-and-coming talent. The new Scouting Series will give amateur pros and unsigned talent the chance to show off their skill with the help of Call of Duty League franchises. Challengers Elite will see some of the best amateur teams in North America and Europe compete in regional tournaments throughout 2021. Described as the “official path to pro circuit” for Call of Duty competitors, Call of Duty Challengers is the tier of competition right below the Call of Duty League....

Yes, you can shoot through walls in VALORANT. But the real answer isn’t quite so simple. VALORANT is still in it’s closed beta testing, so you might not be able to download it yet (unless you get a key). But that said, there are already some pretty big names backing Riot’s new game, and one of them just so happens to be Shroud. The former CS:GO player received a beta key from Riot early on and has been hard at work creating content for his millions of fans....
