Nintendo’s E3 2019 Direct is over, but the company made sure to spoil fans with a ton of new announcements and gameplay during its hour-long show. One such announcement was the release date for Cadence of Hyrule, a dungeon-crawling rhythm game that lets gamers play as either Link or Zelda. Cadence of Hyrule is an interesting concept, having players adventure around and battle enemies to the tune of music, which on its own doesn’t sound that different....

The gun glitch in Call of Duty: Warzone has evolved into something much more frustrating and strange. The glitch appeared right after the August 5th update starting as a small visual bug on the guns themselves. At this point, Warzone fans have seen tons of different glitches, but this one is making the game borderline intolerable. Although the Warzone gun glitch looks relatively interesting with the spikes and almost alien appearance, it is frustrating when it comes to trying to win the game....

DICE can make a kick-ass video game engine (see: Frostbite 2) but can they make a good mobile game? They’ve yet to try but that hasn’t stopped parent company Electronic Arts from pushing the Battlefield franchise (celebrating its 10-year anniversary) to mobile devices in the past. That however, doesn’t mean they’ve done it successfully. EA tried to mimic the success of Battlefield: Bad Company 2 by bringing it to the iPhone/iTouch and it was not pretty....

A couple of weeks ago, I sat down for a candid conversation with Magnus Bruun, the Danish actor tasked with bringing one of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla’s two versions of Eivor to life. You can read more about the finer details of working on the project in our comprehensive interview with Bruun, but I also thought it was important to write a separate piece based on his assertions that neither he nor female Eivor actor Cecilie Stenspil care which portrayal of the character you play, so long as you’re playing the game in the first place....

Yakuza: Like a Dragon took the series in a new direction by bringing RPG mechanics to the streets of Kamurocho. With new protagonist Ichiban Kasuga proving the strength of the Yakuza franchise is its narrative elements, fans immediately took to Like a Dragon.

Bandai Namco releases a trailer for City Shrouded in Shadow, a new game developed by famed Disaster Report developer Granzella which tasks players with surviving a giant monster attack as a regular civilian. When Resident Evil brought major attention to the “survival horror” genre back in 1996, gamers were entertained trying not to die from hordes of zombies. But as the years went by, the genre changed with the times. Survival horror games have gone from tank-control zombie shooters to fights for survival in the woods or being stalked by a monstrosity from the shadows....
