Rather than keep expanding the Destiny universe through sequels, developer Bungie wants to turn Destiny 2 into a single unified world. In order to achieve that and keep the file size of the game manageable, the studio will need to make some changes. Enter the Destiny Content Vault. With the Destiny Content Vault, Bungie will be able to remove legacy content that doesn’t get as much attention from players. During the Destiny 2 Year 4 Reveal stream, director Luke Smith said that activities and destinations are on the list of potential Destiny Content Vault candidates, but he had no further announcements to make at this time....

Matter is a fairly big deal for a game that hasn’t technically been announced yet. Even though the game is almost completely a mystery and nobody really knows what to expect, it’s important just by virtue of being a new game under Bungie’s development. Bungie doesn’t have a lot of IPs under its belt, especially ever since it let go of Halo. It’s mostly just known as the studio responsible for Destiny nowadays, but it wants to be more than a one-trick pony....

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Zombies has gotten off on the right foot, delivering two solid maps in Firebase Z and Die Maschine. While Firebase Z mixes in new elements like Assault Rounds, and Die Maschine has the interesting Dark Aether mechanic, both maps maintain the classic survival format that has been Call of Duty Zombies’ signature style since 2008. However, the next Zombies experience is about to change this, as Outbreak will see the mode’s dedicated community entering an open world....

News is slowly emerging regarding the upcoming Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Zombies reveal. With a full trailer on the horizon, Infinity Ward and Activision are continuing to tease the Call of Duty community with Black Ops Cold War zombie messages. Players who logged into Modern Warfare today were greeted with a welcoming message teasing the upcoming reveal. While the image is simply a screenshot of the already seen teaser, the message provides hope of a big updates in the near future....

Recently, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare players have been frustrated with the high volume of stealth changes occuring in the game. Though most players can tolerate not being told about small balance changes, a recent change has affected controller aim setting, and players aren’t happy about their muscle memory being messed up as a result. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare players, as in any first person shooter, rely heavily on muscle memory keyed to specifically dialed aim settings....

Despite being a polarizing franchise in the gaming community, Call of Duty is still a juggernaut, dominating sales charts year-in and year-out, and often earning critical acclaim as well. Furthermore, Call of Duty has been at the forefront of major advances in the industry, with Call of Duty 2 serving as a launch title for the Xbox 360, and Call of Duty 4 revolutionizing online multiplayer for the first-person shooter genre....

Successful Call of Duty: Warzone players rely heavily on planning ahead, as positioning almost always plays a part in securing victory. However, one new bug is making the preparation process in Call of Duty: Warzone a lot more difficult than it usually is, as some players have spawned in without knowledge on the storm’s location. While Call of Duty: Warzone players have been continuously plagued by the stim glitch, and the invisibility glitch has reared its head a few times now, the latest problem with the battle royale game appears to be brand new....

Call of Duty: Warzone introduced the idea of Gulag to great reception. Players liked having the opportunity to stay in the game even after dying once if they were able to prove themselves and earn the right to redeploy. Unfortunately, the interesting idea has spawned a lot of different glitches and bugs which inhibit its usefulness. Now Call of Duty: Warzone players have found yet another bug, this one comes from Redditor Hampton09....

Reddit user DeepFriedDave is the father of what might just be the youngest Warzone player you’ll ever find on a server. He’s also pretty dang good. DeepFriedDave recently shared a video of he and his son playing in Warzone Duos where they make a pretty good pair–mostly because his son knows what to say and when to say it. First, there’s the lingo. This kid uses proper terms like “downed,” and “team wipe” to indicate when he’s single-handedly taken down an entire enemy squad....

It’s a general rule of thumb that no matter how much a game’s issues are patched out, players will always find new ones hiding in the woodwork. Call of Duty: Warzone has already seen its fair share of glitches in the two months it’s been out, so it shouldn’t be all too surprising that another one has been found. Luckily, it shouldn’t be an issue for much longer. With the big update that Infinity Ward released for both Warzone and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare on May 18, the game has received a slew of new content to carry players through the rest of Season 3, as well as cryptic teases for Season 4....

Saying that Call of Duty: Warzone has a cheating problem would be an understatement, as the game has proven to be a haven for hackers and glitchers over recent months. Despite Activision and Infinity Ward doing all they can to stop the cheaters, thousands of players and streamers like festation have continued to use hacks within Warzone. Warzone recently saw an upsurge in hackers ahead of the Haunting of Verdansk update, an issue that has made the experience of players trying to enjoy the game normally a nightmare....

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War players have already determined the best weapon to use in Zombies, but not every gun can be a winner. YouTuber MrTLexify has seemingly discovered the worst weapon to use in the latest Zombies offering, though he still managed to have a good game with the gun. Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Zombies’ worst gun is purportedly the M79 grenade launcher, a renamed version of the Thumper from the Modern Warfare series....

For the longest time, Attack on Titan’s theme songs have felt like patriotic national anthems for a country that doesn’t exist. The first theme, Feuerroter Pfeil und Bogen, has that classic scream of “Jaeger!” as Scouts fly and slash at invading titans. Flugel der Freiheit makes me want to stand up and chant. And Shinzou wo Sasageyo? Honestly one of the best opening theme songs of all time, a tune I simply cannot resist standing up and singing....

Obsidian Entertainment is set to return to Pillars of Eternity’s world of Eora with Avowed, a first-person action-RPG that’s currently in development. After its reveal trailer, it was quickly compared to Skyrim for its first-person perspective melee and magic action. Obsidian has a history of creating well-received RPG titles including Fallout: New Vegas and its own IP Pillars of Eternity, so fan expectations are high. For gamers who enjoy first-person action-RPG titles, this could fill the gap for some while The Elder Scrolls 6 continues to be developed, though Obsidian has a deep well to draw from to help it stand out from the Bethesda series....

The road to Balan Wonderworld’s release has been a rocky one, to say the least. The involvement of Sonic the Hedgehog creator Yuji Naka piqued the interest of fans, but the recent critically panned demo release has slowed the hype train to a crawl. With the title releasing just next week, the Square Enix Presents livestream has given players one last look to potentially win back some fans. The trailer gives an extended look at the game’s co-op mode, showing the male and female player characters platforming through the dreamlike locales of Balan Wonderworld....

The long awaited next installment in the D&D inspired role-playing game series, Baldur’s Gate 3 sets the bar for authenticity in bringing the tabletop gaming experience to the PC. Though in true modder fashion, fans of Baldur’s Gate 3 have already been hard at work making mods that bridge the worlds of Faerun and Tamriel with expanded character race options. Even with Baldur’s Gate 3 only in early access since October 6th, its modding community has already produced at least 40 different mods on Nexus Mods alone, with more ambitious projects surely in the works....

It can sometimes be hard to get the living to talk in Baldur’s Gate 3, which is why Larian Studios ensured that you can communicate with every corpse in the game, thanks to the Speak with Dead spell from Dungeons & Dragons. In the current edition of D&D, Speak with Dead is a third level necromancy spell that allows the caster to communicate with a corpse. It doesn’t work on undead, corpses that lack a mouth, or bodies that have had the Speak with Dead spell cast on them within the past ten days....

While many first-person shooter gamers are gearing up for Call of Duty: WW2, others are still pouring into last year’s World War 1 title, Battlefield 1. According to Electronic Arts, Battlefield 1 has gained over 2 million additional players since March 2017, bringing the unique player count to 21 million for the shooter. The success of Battlefield 1 isn’t too surprising considering the massive hype EA built around the title before launch, and the strong performance the game has had since release....

Battlefield 5 is among the many games that were featured at EA play and today’s presentation revealed all of the upcoming content heading soon to the first-person shooter. Although Battlefield 5 didn’t meet sales expectations at launch, EA is committed to rectifying that by introducing new content including three new maps in the coming months. The first map is called Al-Sandan, which takes place somewhere in the African desert. Al-Sandan will feature wide areas and plenty of space for players to pilot or drive air and land vehicles to engage in battles....

2020 was a bad year for many things, but despite all of its trials and tribulations, it was an amazing year for 2D side scrollers. From crawling through dungeons to soaring through the sky, a few new titles added their names to gamers’ lists of must-plays this past year. While PC is normally the champion of side-scrolling adventures, 2020 offered a level playing field for gamers to enjoy these style games on the full array of platforms from PlayStation to Xbox and Nintendo Switch alike—alongside their PC counterpart this time....
