It's well known that the standard teams in Cookie Run: Kingdom are constantly changing, but we recently saw a surprising character make an appearance in the new meta after the most recent update - Vampire Cookie. It has been a long time since he was last a common sight in the Kingdom Arena, but his unexpected synergy with Eternal Sugar Cookie has caused his popularity to skyrocket. It's great to see cookies of lower rarities having a fighting chance in the arena rankings, and Vampire Cookie's accessibility is great news for Free-To-Play fans. View the full article
Todd Howard, one of gaming's most legendary developers, known for his work on Fallout 3 and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, is definitely one to look for when seeking good recommendations.

These adventures are expected to continue in 2025, with the Order of Giants DLC for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle listed as the next big piece of content. View the full article
Sci-fi FPS La Quimera is the first game from Reburn, a new incarnation of Metro co-developers 4A Games Ukraine. It's out now in early access. That last bit is a surprise: the developers had planned to release the new shooter as "a large, complete journey", but had to make "certain pivots" in the face of resource constraints, technical complications and, presumably, the broad impacts of living in a warzone. This led to a launch delay last week and then, the abrupt announcement that La Quimera would start out as an early access project. Read more View the full article

My first thought upon learning that Quake had been inducted into the World Videogame Hall of Fame was that it was very weird Quake wasn't already in the World Videogame Hall of Fame. I mean, you've had Halo in there since 2017, and not Quake? What? What are we even doing here? It's the sort of thing that has the potential to start fistfights in sketchy sports bars—or heated arguments on social media, at least. But never mind, it's all water under the bridge now, as Quake was one of four HoF inductees for 2025... Read more.View the full article
Doom is at its best when id Software is innovating. This is, for the most part, a universal truth for the rip-roaring, genre-defining series, and its reboot trilogy hasn't betrayed that spirit. Doom 2016 was a rapturous return to form after a decade-long hiatus; a tightly crafted shooter, quintessentially 'Doom,' that upgraded Doomguy's credentials from 'unlucky marine' to 'mythical god-slaying entity.' 2020 brought Doom Eternal, which essentially strapped rockets to the Slayer's size 50-odd boots and set him on an assault course, splitting fan sentiment. id's latest shake-up is Doom The Dark Ages, a far darker, medieval-infused prequel that acknowledges the studio may have gone too hard with its predecessor. While id has once again overstretched at points, The Dark Ages lends plenty of credence to my opening statement. Read the rest of the story...

If you haven't checked in with Deadlock for a while, now's the perfect time. Indeed, the MOBA's new patch is so large that it'll feel like a completely fresh game, even for those who are still actively playing. The colossal overhaul headlines its shop rework, but that title belies just how comprehensive the update is. The way items are used has been totally redesigned and there are a whole lot more of them, along with movement tweaks, balance changes, and a dramatic coat of paint that makes the full Deadlock release feel much closer to reality.

There are several powerful Jedi and Sith characters hanging around the island for Fortnite's Star Wars Galactic Battle season. Mace Windu is one of them, and he's got a powerful Purple Lightsaber for you if you can find him. Mace Windu and his unique Purple Lightsaber are absolutely iconic in the Star Wars films, so if you want a shot at meeting him and wielding his unique weapon, you have to act fast. Here's where to find Mace Windu and his Purple Lightsaber in Fortnite. Table of contentsMace Windu location in Fortnite Star Wars Galactic BattleWhen does Mace Windu spawn in Fortnite Star Wars Galactic Battle?How to get a Purple Lightsaber in Fortnite Star Wars Galactic BattleWhat does the Purple Lightsaber do in Fortnite Star Wars Galactic Battle?Mace Windu location in Fortnite Star Wars Galactic Battle Screenshot by Destructoid Unfortunately, Mace Windu doesn't have a fixed spawn location on the island and instead appears at different random locations in each round. He can, however, always be found at the purple Training Rift Gate icons on the map. Mace Windu also doesn't appear as an actual character on the map. Instead, he's a temporary hologram who remains only until a player interacts with him. This makes him a decently tricky individual to meet up with. When does Mace Windu spawn in Fortnite Star Wars Galactic Battle? Mace Windu's Training Rift Gate generally seems to spawn around one or two minutes into each match after the first storm circle has passed. His appearance is fairly random and unpredictable, though, so just watch out for the Purple Lightsaber icon on your map to have the best chance of spotting his arrival. How to get a Purple Lightsaber in Fortnite Star Wars Galactic Battle To acquire a Purple Lightsaber, you need to be the first one through one of Mace Windu's Training Rift Gates. He only offers one at each gate, so if someone beats you to it, you cannot get his weapon from that gate anymore, as it disappears immediately after. Screenshot by Destructoid While most NPCs you can find around the map have a few items for *****, Mace Windu is a special hologram character who has nothing for ***** and only one dialogue option. All other hologram characters function the same and exist solely to give you a shot at acquiring a Lightsaber and force abilities. Although the main way to get a Purple Lightsaber is from Mace Windu himself, you can also earn one by defeating players who have one in their inventory. You don't get force training from Mace Windu using this method, though, which means you won't have access to his special force abilities. What does the Purple Lightsaber do in Fortnite Star Wars Galactic Battle? The Purple Lightsaber is a melee weapon that functions exactly the same as all other Lightsabers, so you can use to to slice down enemies and unlock the Force Jump. If you acquire this weapon directly from Mace Windu, you also get the Force Pull ability with it. Screenshot by Destructoid Mace Windu's Force Pull ability can be used to bring all nearby objects towards you. If you aim it at large structures like buildings, you'll rip them apart piece by piece. This power also works against players and vehicles like TIE Fighters. I even used it to damage structures from beyond 22 meters away during Han Solo's story quests, so it's pretty versatile and powerful in most situations.

The original ****** May Cry is, in a roundabout way, itself a remake - a lot of its central concepts come from an earlier prototype of Resident Evil 4, back when the Leon-led sequel was a more gothic, conventional survival horror. Released in 2001, while DMC 2 fell dramatically short of people's expectations, every other ****** May Cry game (including and especially Ninja Theory's DmC, which is my own personal favorite) has been a confident hit. Now, with the series' 25th anniversary getting closer, Hideki Kamiya, the legendary developer behind some of Capcom's greatest hits, including Resident Evil 2 and Viewtiful Joe, shares his opinions on a would-be ****** May Cry remake.

The Astral Prism is the MacGuffin that fuels the plot of Baldur's Gate 3, as its power is what allows the main characters to retain their independence. Much of the game revolves around learning about the Prism and using it to defeat the Absolute. However, not much is actually said about the Prism's origins, who made it, and where it has been since its creation. View the full article

Namely, the accompanying song, which saw a 182,000% boost on Spotify. Read more View the full article

What are the best Dune Awakening settings for PC and Steam Deck? While not a traditional MMORPG, in that the RPG elements have been replaced with survival crafting, Dune Awakening is still incredibly easy to run across PC and gaming handhelds like the Steam Deck. Getting a fast frame rate out of Dune isn't hard, provided you meet the minimum demands. The Dune Awakening system requirements are incredibly detailed, and paint the picture of a game that will run even on older gaming PCs. However, to access the best performance possible in Dune Awakening, including Nvidia DLSS 4 and frame generation, you're going to need one of the best graphics cards. Read the rest of the story...
