Information about the game poured out, culminating in a lot of anticipating going into AC: Valhalla’s gameplay, and this may be the first official fumble by Xbox and Ubisoft going into next-gen.

While Rocksteady is continuing its Arkhamverse with its upcoming 2022 Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League game, players fondly – and rightly so – remember and enjoy the Batman: Arkham series to this day. This is especially so since WB Montréal’s upcoming 2021 Gotham Knights is actually a Batman-less Batman game.

After some disappointment with Battlefield V, DICE is looking to go all out for their next game. There are even rumors that the game will feature massive 128-player maps. Without any concrete details about what the setting will be for Battlefield 6, it’s hard to say which maps might be making a comeback in the newest game....

Nintendo fundamentally changed how The Legend of Zelda worked with Breath of the Wild. Calling back to the original Legend of Zelda on NES, Breath of the Wild prioritizes freedom at any cost – even getting rid of franchise staples in the process. Dungeons as they once were are completely replaced by Divine Beasts and mini-dungeons are now split up across 120 Shrines. Each major region in Breath of the Wild has a set of Shrines for Link to complete, but Central Hyrule has some of the most dangerous in the game....

One of the biggest changes Breath of the Wild made to The Legend of Zelda’s formula was stripping away Link’s traditional equipment (save for his Sword, Shield, & Bow) only to replace it with the Sheikah Slate’s Runes. Bombs are now on a timer, Link can freeze objects with the Stasis Rune, or move around metal with Magnesis. The Sheikah Slate is a novel way of reinterpreting Link’s tool kit, but it comes with one underutilized addition: Cryonis....
