Over the last week or so there has been a lot of confusion regarding Mass Effect: Andromeda and whether or not the game would receive DLC. At first, a rumor surfaced that suggested any DLC plans for the game had been scrapped, but then official BioWare devs came forward to discredit the sources. But while BioWare did enough to discredit the source of the rumor, the studio did not refute its content....
Mythology is a rich source of inspiration for video games. Everything from Immortals: Fenyx Rising, to Raji: An Ancient Epic, to God of War, has shown the power of recapturing ancient mythos in a playable form. Chinese history and legend have been captured by games like Dynasty Warriors before, but now Black Myth: Wukong is on the way to tell another story. It’s based on Journey to the West, an epic that tells the story of Sun Wukong, the Monkey King....
Last month Blizzard forcibly shut down the popular, albeit unauthorized, World of Warcraft server Nostalrius, but have recently agreed to meet with the server’s administrators. On May 1, the team at Nostalrius, an independent World of Warcraft server hosting a vanilla version of the game, made the announcement that they have been invited to discuss their recent shutdown with Blizzard at their headquarters in Irvine, CA. An administrator for Nostalrius, Daemon, had this to say about the upcoming meeting:...
Following an incident, Blizzard announces its plans to work with Twitch to develop a program to combat racism and other abuse in the streaming community. After a recent incident with racism, targeting professional Hearthstone player Terrence ‘TerrenceM’ Miller, developer Blizzard has promised to take action against abuse in livestreaming. During DreamHack Austin’s recent Hearthstone tournament, TerrenceM was the victim of racial abuse from Twitch’s built-in chat function, to the point where moderators couldn’t keep up....
Due to the COVID -19 pandemic, Blizzard had to cancel 2020’s BlizzCon, will no longer be hosting a physical conference event in person this year. Instead, the event is going to be entirely remote next year and will be called BlizzCon Online, shortened to BlizzConline, taking place on February 19th and 20th. Earlier this year, various video game conferences and conventions were canceled or transitioned into virtual events because of the coronavirus....
Switch owners of Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night have had a rough go of things. While the PC, PS4, and Xbox One versions of the game have been good to go since launch (barring slight issues on individual platforms), the belated port to Switch keeps getting hit with technical issues and patch delays. The same thing happened with the recently released randomizer update, which included a randomization mode alongside a new playable character....
Martin Campbell has done an action thriller or two in his time. The New Zealand-born director is perhaps best known as the director of not one but two of the most successful and acclaimed movies in the James Bond franchise: 1995’s GoldenEye, which introduced Pierce Brosnan in the role, and 2006’s Casino Royale, which reinvented 007 in the form of a more minimalist, hard-edged Daniel Craig. Along the way, Campbell’s had more success (The Mask of Zorro) and some elaborate failures (Green Lantern), and he returns to the big screen this week for the first time in four years with The Protégé, a violent, very gritty thriller starring Maggie Q and Michael Keaton as deadly professional assassins who are drawn to each other as the former sets out to avenge the murder of her mentor (Samuel L....
Introducing Borderlands: Tiny Tina’s Robot Tea Party, what appears to be the first Gearbox Borderlands announcement planned for PAX East. The announcement of this Borderlands tabletop game has leaked a bit earlier than Gearbox’s likely PAX reveal, but is all but confirmed given the nature of the leak. Not only have photos of Borderlands: Tiny Tina’s Robot Tea Party already cropped up online, but the game appears to be available for purchase on the PAX East show floor....
A new Borderlands 3 DLC means multiple things: new stories, new characters, and (most importantly) new guns! Thankfully, the Guns, Love, And Tentacles expansion does not disappoint in the weapons department. Gearbox has added a ton of unique and powerful legendary weapons that you should farm for right away. Some of these new legendary weapons are some of the best in the game and stand out among the ones in the base game....
At the start of 2018, Logan Paul became arguably the most controversial YouTuber in history after uploading a video that featured actual suicide victims in it. Paul’s subsequent videos continued to draw ire from the community, but the controversy appears to have made him even more famous than ever before. Despite his fame, Paul actually has less subscribers on YouTube than another well-known and controversial star, KSI, and after months of build-up, the two fought in an amateur boxing match in the Manchester Arena in Manchester, England earlier today....
Post-apocalyptic city-builder Endzone - A World Apart recently received its seventh major patch, dubbed the Leadership update. The overhaul adds new ways you can interact with your settlers, and includes the new Forum and Bulletin Board, as well as brand new Expeditions, Scenarios, and decorative items. The new Forum and Bulletin Board community buildings are in direct response to Endzone Early Access players’ requests. In a way, it serves as proof that developer Assemble Entertainment is listening to its community and working diligently to make Endzone a quality video game....
We’ve got no time to waste on pleasantries, Guardian. This week’s TWAB is a big one and we’ve got a lot of ground to cover, including nerfs to Stasis nerfs, changes to Trials, transmog implementation, armor and weapon sunsetting, a refocus on PvP, and more. But the big news is the delay to Destiny 2’s 2021 expansion, The Witch Queen. Bungie laid out the next three years of Destiny expansions last year, starting with Beyond Light, then Witch Queen, and finally Lightfall....
The Black Ops 4 Multiplayer Beta begins next week, giving fans access to a larger portion of the game’s content than any Call of Duty beta before it. The beta will feature plenty of different maps, game modes, and, as a tweet has revealed, scorestreak rewards. It was always a given that Black Ops 4 would feature scorestreaks; rewarding players for racking up multiple kills in a row has been a staple of Call of Duty’s multiplayer since the first Modern Warfare....
For most users, the Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Season 2 update is a massive storage investment. It takes time to download, and the last thing any player wants to see is a bug manifest directly after the install. Despite this, many Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War players are being locked out of the game via a strange bug. Multiple players have reported a bug that is locking Call of Duty: Warzone players out of the game....
Using the Gunsmith system in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War allows players to raise important stats and fully customize any weapon of their choice.

Season 4 Reloaded is bringing a whole bunch of new content to Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare. On top of some huge features, like the 200 Player battle royale mode for Warzone, there is also a new new sniper rifle being added to the game, perfect for hitting those One Shot, One Kills from across the map. The sniper is called the Rytec AMR, and will be available in Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare on June 29 at 11PM PT....
The newly released Call of Duty: Warzone has been quickly taking the Battle Royale genre by storm, bringing the quality and notoriety of the Call of Duty series to the free-to-play format. However, as successful as it is, the game still has a long way to go before it can take the claim to fame as the the top title within the Battle Royale genre. After all, Call of Duty: Warzone is still in Beta at the moment, and as such even Activision doesn’t consider it finished yet....
Call of Duty: Warzone is no stranger to bugs, but every now and then a rather strange one surfaces. The most recent discovery sees players in possession of a Most Wanted contract be brought back to life even after being hunted down by other players. This of course makes these contracts much more useful than they are intended to be. Call of Duty: Warzone players use these contracts for a variety of reasons, whether that be getting some money, attracting other players, or to revive their teammates, but a self revive isn’t among those reasons....
As part of the big Season 4 Reloaded update, Call of Duty: Warzone secretly added Counter UAVs to the game that can be activated when a squad triggers four regular UAVs in a row. However, a new leak suggests that Call of Duty: Warzone could be adding a much easier way for players to get the Counter UAV in the game, but it sounds like it may end up being quite overpowered....
After a tweet from Kotaku’s Jason Schreier just yesterday teasing the impending reveal of Activision and Sledgehammer Games’ shooter known as Call of Duty: WW2, the video game’s publisher and developer have gone ahead and confirmed the title’s existence by releasing its first piece of key art and by hosting a worldwide reveal livestream countdown on the franchise’s official website. According to the series’ website, the livestream will take place next week on Wednesday, April 26, 2017 at 10:00 am PT and 1:00 pm ET....
