Bandai Namco is preparing its fanbase for Scarlet Nexus with some new cosplay guides of the main characters for the game. Siliconera pointed to tweets from the publisher that gives details on each character’s costume. There aren’t any instructions, but the close-up pictures are a great reference for any cosplayer interested in representing this game. The PDFs for Kasane Randall and Yuito Sumeragi have been posted online. The guides come with a summary of the character, and a detailed look at their weapons and symbols....

Here’s how Battlefield 1 fans can earn a weapon skin and a dog tag for the forthcoming first-person shooter by playing Battlefield 4 and Battlefield Hardline. With Battlefield 1’s official launch date being a little more than a week away, Electronic Arts is pulling out all of the stops when it comes to promoting its World War I-inspired title. As it happens, not only has the company begun a week of two hour-long streams for the game, but also the publisher has now announced a promotion where players can earn a special weapon skin and dog tag for the forthcoming release by playing Battlefield 4 and Battlefield Hardline....

The latest trailer for EA DICE’s upcoming multiplayer shooter, Battlefield 1, focuses on the development of World War I weapons that are authentic, yet visceral. It appears that EA and Battlefield 1 developer DICE are getting ready for the marketing blitz that will lead to the multiplayer shooter’s launch in October. Today saw the release of the first official trailer since the deluge of media that dropped at E3. Appearing to be the first in a series of gameplay trailers, “Weapons,” as the title implies, gives an introductory look at Battlefield 1’s selection of guns and melee armaments....

It’s safe to say that in any Battle Royal-inspired game, chaos is the default state. PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is no different, with players lobbing grenades, sneaking around in gillie suits, and lurking out of swamps like low budget Aquamen. The game pits up to 100 people into combat over a moderately-sized battleground filled with plenty of weapons, at which point Battlegrounds lets nature take its course. During a recent livestream, a player named Sir Lance and one of his friends won a match with a rather unusual strategy: they stayed in an upside down car for the majority of the match....

This Batwoman article contains spoilers through Season 2, Episode 14. Batwoman has been going hard on their criticism of the Crows—and law enforcement by proxy—so it is no surprise that the show would Go There. Yet despite the season-long setup for Crows or cops to do something blasé, like shoot an unarmed Black man, the fact that they made me watch an unarmed Black man get shot on my television in this year of our lord is truly a f*cking choice....

Legend of Mana is the most recent release in the Mana series, which found success with its ports of the Collection of Mana and the more recent Trials of Mana remake. Legend of Mana was a PlayStation game that baffled and entranced fans with its extremely non-linear gameplay, diverging storylines, and complicated ancillary features. The remastered port is available on Steam, the PlayStation 4, and the Nintendo Switch, and is a beautiful rendition of the game that fans will appreciate, but at its core it is still a game steeped in complexity and a frustrating tendency to not tell you much about the world at all....

Best full-size smart fridges: Keep your food cool with added smarts These dinky little fridges can keep food and drink brilliantly chilled, perfect for a gruelling day at work, or for just cutting loose on the weekend with some friends....

To say the launch of Fallout 76 has been a shaky one is putting it lightly. Following a number of scheduled beta time slots for players and a full game release just weeks after the testing period ended, Bethesda’s newest online-centric Fallout adventure has been a broken mess littered with a myriad of technical shortcomings. After weeks of listening to community backlash, a steep Black Friday discount just two weeks after launch, and the reputation of the post-apocalyptic franchise in question, Bethesda has finally come forward to address the issues surrounding Fallout 76’s rocky start, while also detailing how future updates will help better the overall experience for players....

Having only released three games in 2014 (The Elder Scrolls Online, The Evil Within and Wolfenstein: The New Order) and none whatsoever in 2013, games publisher Bethesda is nowhere as prolific as its competitors Electronic Arts, Activision and Ubisoft. Yet despite the slow Bethesda release schedule, it’s games remain as popular and as talked about as ever, in part thanks to each game’s high quality. However, because Bethesda has few games to show off, it means that the publisher often skips or has a smaller presence at the big gaming trade events such as E3, Gamescom and TGS (Tokyo Game Show)....

After fans were sent into a speculative frenzy a few days ago when the Target website featured a mysterious listing for a brand new Bethesda developed Game of Thrones game, Target has come out and denied all rumors that the Fallout and Elder Scrolls developer will be making its way to Westeros. Following a series of rumors, Target reached out to ComicBook.com and confirmed that the alleged Bethesda developed Game of Thrones title is not real....

During the PC Gamer Weekender 2018 event in London, Biomutant developer Stefan Ljungqvist was interviewed and discussed the game’s character customization. Prior to the interview, a new trailer was shown that began with the raccoon-like main character meditating before performing various kung-fu moves. The trailer definitely fits Experiment 101’s description that Biomutant, which debuted at Gamescom 2017, is like a “post-apocalyptic kung fu fable.” After the trailer, Ljungqvist showed off the character customization....

If you’re someone who has been anticipating the furry, action-packed thrills of Biomutant, then you may have been concerned when its developers went radio silent. A lack of news can sometimes herald a rough patch during a game’s development phase. However, that doesn’t seem to be the case here, as Biomutant is looking pretty dang good as we head towards its upcoming May launch. One of the big selling points of Biomutant has been its combat, although we’ve only seen snippets of it here and there....

One of the biggest complaints that fans of the series levied against BioShock Infinite was that it pulled too far from the series’ origins with horror and leaned into being a more generic shooter. Now, as fans are excited for BioShock 4, it might be best for Cloud Chamber Studio to continue the controversial decision to divert away from BioShock’s origins and leave the horror aspects behind. Taking the ending of BioShock Infinite into account, the opportunities for BioShock 4 really are endless as long as the next game follows the familiar conventions outlined by Elizabeth during the Doors to Everywhere scene....

Black Desert Mobile’s first update of 2021 introduces Tier 6 pets, Abyssal Relic stat boosts, and expanded Guild Bonuses for Node War and Siege Warfare. The best – and cutest – part of the update is the addition of Tier 6 pets. Exchanging two Tier 5 pets gives you a chance to gain a Tier 6 pet that can boost various stats beyond what was previously possible. If you don’t get lucky and gain a new pet after exchanging two of a lower tier, you’re guaranteed to get one after 10 failed attempts....

This article contains major Blade Runner 2049 spoilers. Rain flashes across her luminous face with the kind of relentless oppression only reserved for noir and the sci-fi films that appropriate its nihilism. In the midst of a moonless, starless, and, yes, joyless Los Angeles night, the only glow in the sky emanates from her empty yet inviting olive eyes—a vacant visage that towers 150 feet above an abandoned urban purgatory. Her name is Joi and she is an illusion in every sense, right down to her holographic countenance made up of ones and zeroes....

World of Warcraft developer Blizzard Entertainment is polling the community to decide on its next mount design. With the MMO’s newest expansion, Shadowlands, right around the corner, its player base has the opportunity to add a personalized touch. Once upon a time, mounts were something of a status symbol in World of Warcraft. Requiring large sums of gold, time, and luck, players showed off rare mounts like a sparkling new Maserati....

Bob Odenkirk, best known as sleazebag lawyer Saul Goodman from the Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul TV shows, is spreading his wings a bit in a brand new film. The project, titled Nobody, is being developed by Universal Pictures and will be an action film heavily inspired by the John Wick franchise with Odenkirk taking the place of Keanu Reeves. A recent trailer has been published showing just how heavily based on John Wick it really is, right down to the hero with a shady past who gets drawn back into a violent power struggle by sheer coincidence....

Clive Barker’s horror is immediately recognizable. One of the most influential Gothic voices of the 1980s and ‘90s, his stories on the page and screen mingle body horror with kinky fatalism: pleasure and pain sprinkled with an undercurrent of happy self-annihilation. He wrote and directed the exceptionally perverse Hellraiser, and with his literary Books of Blood collection of horror short stories, he penned the origins for future movie cult classics like Candyman—as well as the less glowing adaptations of The Midnight Meat Train and Rawhead Rex....
