  1. Marvel’s upcoming Blade movie is back in the news and yet again it isn’t for good reasons. Yann Demange (‘71 and Lovecraft Country) has left the project as director, which marks the second director to exit the film in three years. This is the latest setback for the project, which was announced in 2019 with much… Read more... View the full article
  2. On June 6th, Square Enix announced that both Octopath Traveler games are now available on more platforms. Not only is Octopath Traveler available on PlayStation, but you can play Octopath Traveler 2 on Xbox and Xbox Game Pass. Square Enix released a trailer celebrating the new ports, but eagle-eyed RPG fans noticed… Read more... View the full article
  3. Dragon Age fans have been waiting a decade for The Veilguard. The fourth game in BioWare’s fantasy RPG series will continue the story set up by the ending of Dragon Age: Inquisition in 2014, and it’s bringing back several familiar faces from previous games, comics, and books. However, one returning character has… Read more... View the full article
  4. Fans have been waiting 17 years for a sequel to Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3, a PS2 and Wii-era arena fighter that celebrated the beloved anime with a story mode that retold all of its biggest moments, a massive roster full of iconic characters and deep cuts alike, and spectacle-fueled showdowns that leaned into… Read more...

  5. People do like to try to sue Valve, most often alleging that Steam has some sort of monopoly over the PC games market. This is likely because Steam just might have some sort of monopoly over the PC games market. The latest attempt to break the Washington-based developer’s stranglehold comes from the little island that… Read more... View the full article
  6. A hyper-passionate fan base. A notoriously secretive industry. And social media algorithms that encourage people to follow their worst impulses for 15 minutes of fame. It’s a volatile *********, and one that might explain why an infamous leaker who went by the name Midori lied about being a ********* woman, when he was… Read more... View the full article
  7. Following June 9’s Xbox Showcase, Starfield finally got its Creation Kit and Creations suite, allowing PC and Xbox players to download official and community-built mods directly in-game. It’s still early days for sure, but there are already a number of great mods worth your time that you should check out ASAP. Read more... View the full article
  8. Diablo IV’s first big DLC expansion, Vessel of Hatred, arrives on all platforms later this year. The upcoming DLC is adding not only a new region to explore and loot, but also a new class—the Spiritborn—never before seen in the franchise. And according to Blizzard, the decision to add a new class came after Diablo… Read more... View the full article
  9. There’s no shortage of Metroidvanias out there, but none of them are set in World War II and pit you against diabolic ***** experiments. That’s the elevator pitch for Wolfhound, a surprise new retro-inspired project from Bit ****, the developer of 2018's gorgeous pixel-art dungeon-scroller Chasm. Read more... View the full article
  10. Ubisoft’s upcoming Star Wars Outlaws looks to be a massive open-world video game spanning multiple planets and cities. However, according to the game’s creative director, completing everything in Outlaws isn’t going to take you 100 to 200 hours like in some past Ubisoft games. Read more... View the full article
  11. In 2023, Larian Studios’ award-winning game Baldur’s Gate 3 filled a void in RPG fans’ hearts. As of last year, BioWare, the developer behind Dragon Age and Mass Effect, hadn’t released an RPG in six years. Larian’s take on the Dungeons & Dragons ruleset checked off a lot of boxes for fans who wanted a party-driven… Read more... View the full article
  12. Elden Ring is known for its challenging combat and hazardous exploration, so it’s reasonable to expect its Shadow of the Erdtree expansion to be an ultra-difficult experience. With dozens of hours of new exploration and battle ahead, you’ll want to be certain you’re well-prepared for all of the horrors that await you.… Read more... View the full article
  13. The first thing to know about the recently announced Horizon Lego Adventures is that it’s a Lego game first and an adaptation of Horizon Zero Dawn second. It’s not attempting to be a one-to-one, brick-by-brick recreation of the expansive open-world RPG or even an abridged version. Think of it more as a Shakespeare for… Read more...

  14. Soon after Xbox’s big (and quite good) showcase on June 9, 2024, Starfield got a nice healthy update that finally delivered on the promise of quick and easy access to mods. While Starfield has had many mods on PC, it hasn’t been the most approachable for folks who aren’t used to installing mods manually or using… Read more... View the full article
  15. It may have taken two years, but Elden Ring is finally receiving a highly anticipated expansion that is certain to take the world by storm all over again. Shadow of the Erdtree is landing on June 21, and it brings multiple editions and pre-order bonuses for players seeking to get the most out of their purchase. Here’s… Read more...

  16. Fortnite’s next few updates are going to be adding a lot of Metallica to Epic’s online F2P battle royale, including the band members themselves, some of the group’s best songs, and even a new mode all about battling other players using music. Read more... View the full article
  17. BioWare’s upcoming RPG Dragon Age: The Veilguard seems heavily influenced by 2011’s Dragon Age II. It’s evocative of the second game’s action-driven combat, goes back to its three-path tone-driven dialogue, and its letting you romance any character you want. However, it does seem BioWare learned some lessons in the 13… Read more... View the full article
  18. I can’t remember the last time I played a PlayStation game and felt this happy. I’ve loved plenty of first-party Sony games and their expensive melding of Hollywood cinematics, refined gameplay, and dense systems. Astro **** is in many ways the antithesis of that. It’s no less refined, perhaps even more so. And it… Read more... View the full article
  19. If you’re playing the newly released Metroidvania, Animal Well, you might have come across this. In the bottom-right biome of Animal Well’s map, you’ll find two rooms that contain a total of five cats locked in cages. You may notice that above each cage is a ****** box with five lines, and those lines light up if you… Read more... View the full article
  20. It’s been six years since Monster Hunter: World showed what the beloved action series could accomplish when it made the jump from Nintendo’s consoles back to more powerful hardware. As fun as 2021's Monster Hunter Rise was, it was built for the Switch and pulled back in many ways from the ambition of its PlayStation 4… Read more... View the full article
  21. Summer Game Fest 2024 was the biggest iteration of Geoff Keighley’s E3 replacement yet. We saw a ton of incredible trailers during the Friday livestream, and developers, journalists, and content creators were able to go hands-on with upcoming games like Star Wars: Outlaws, Flintlock, S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2, and more. As… Read more... View the full article
  22. On June 11, Netflix released the first trailer for the eagerly anticipated second season of Arcane (crowd cheers). The trailer announced that it would mark the finale of the animated series adaptation of Riot’s League of Legends (crowd boos). But wait, it might not be the end of Riot’s adaptations altogether (crowd… Read more... View the full article
  23. Dragon Age: The Veilguard got a proper reintroduction last week during Summer Game Fest, starting with a cinematic trailer showcasing each of the RPG’s seven party members. One of them is Emmrich Volkarin, a human necromancer who is part of the Mourn Watch faction in the magical country of Tevinter. He’s also a… Read more... View the full article
  24. As an avid fan of 2022’s Citizen Sleeper and its subsequent DLCs, I consider myself an expert on the narrative-heavy RPG. So when I booted up my first playthrough of the Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector preview build provided by developer Jump Over The Age, I was sure I would make all the right choices. I was wrong.

  25. A new tool used to scrape info from the Epic Games Store may have just exposed tons of unannounced upcoming games like a long-rumored Final Fantasy IX remakeand a new Turok. If accurate, the database listings could end up being the biggest batch of clues about new games since the infamous Nvidia *****. Read more... View the full article
