This feature comes by way of a new and unexpected patch for Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain, as the last update that officially dropped for the open world stealth-action title came in August of last year. With Quiet now playable in FOB missions, players can take advantage of abilities like her steady hands while aiming and firing, as well as her quick movement speed.

A few years ago, Marvel fans were excited to find out that remasters of both Marvel: Ultimate Alliance games would be coming out on current generation consoles and PC. A user on ResetEra by the name of Nerdkiller pointed out that the Marvel: Ultimate Alliance games are currently on sale for a deep discount through Steam. If true, these aren’t the only Marvel titles licensed by Activision to have such a short lifespan on digital storefronts. While many preferred the first game over the second, ge

Enter Realm Royale, a fantasy-themed Battle Royale game which attracted 4 million users during Early Access on Steam and will soon enter beta testing on PS4 and Xbox One. Realm Royale is similar to Fortnite in art style, and similar to pretty much every other Battle Royale in terms of its core premise. Beta keys will be distributed early next week, and the Closed Beta itself will start shortly afterwards. It’s not yet clear how generous Hi-Rez Studios is going to be with the beta keys, or indeed

The Whisper, Destiny 2‘s new hidden quest that’s been taking the community by storm in the past week, seems to have even more secrets than we initially knew about. One of these secrets in the Destiny 2 Whisper quest happens to have a heavy connection to the Vault of Glass – Destiny‘s first ever Raid. You can’t enter this portal, but if you look through it, you can see what is very likely part of the Vault of Glass. One theory that’s been thrown around frequently is that this is the lead-up to a

There have a been a lot of interesting secrets and Easter eggs found in God of War since its release in April. There were two God of War panels at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, and during one of them, a fan asked game director Cory Barlog about this elusive last secret. There is a subreddit that has been set up specifically for finding God of War secrets, and this last one has been a large focus for the group. The community is split on this discovery, with some believing that this couldn’t po

Last month, Tomb Raider fans got a brief look at the combat and action set-pieces of Shadow of the Tomb Raider. The current iteration of Tomb Raider certainly thrives on combat, but its exploration and puzzle elements are just as important. Shadow of the Tomb Raider can potentially be the hardest game in the series so far, but that too will be left entirely up to the players. Shadow of the Tomb Raider appears to be shaping up quite nicely so far. Shadow of the Tomb Raider launches for PC, PlaySt

When No Man’s Sky launched just under two years ago, the general consensus was that it fell short of what had been promised. Available for free tomorrow on PC, PS4, and Xbox One, No Man’s Sky Next is by far the game’s most significant update so far. The pivotal release might as well serve as an informal relaunch for No Man’s Sky, which launched conspicuously missing many of the core features advertised pre-launch. With No Man’s Sky Next, it seems the issue has finally been addressed. No Man’s Sk

Just a few days ago, the video game publisher and developer Ubisoft officially teased a forthcoming crossover event in its tactical shooter Ghost Recon: Wildlands that will feature content relating to its other property Rainbow Six Siege.

While fans of the franchise bide their time while awaiting the publisher and developer’s next game set in the series’ universe, one intrepid speedrunner decided to beat all of the titles that are currently available in under 90 minutes. As seen in the video below from the YouTuber and Fallout fan known simply as “tomatoanus”, blazes through all of the titles included in Fallout Anthology – that is, Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout 3, and Fallout: New Vegas – as well as the most recent entry, Fallout

Not too long ago, Telltale Games gave fans a sneak peek of what’s to come with The Walking Dead: The Final Season by showing off the first 15 minutes of gameplay, wherein Clementine adopts a leadership role as she takes care of the orphaned AJ. This much was revealed by Telltale Games’ Creative Director Kent Mudle, who was discussing whether or not the five-episode arc in The Walking Dead: The Final Season would truly be able to tie up all of its loose ends and wrap everything up. Maybe the comp

Out of all the limited-time modes Fortnite has done so far, Playground Mode appears to have been one of the most popular. The official Fortnite Twitter account made the announcement today that Playground Mode is returning on Wednesday, July 25th. This new version of Playground Mode will also feature the ATK golf carts that were added with the season 5 update. pic.twitter.com/7bK1Wgg98U — Fortnite (@FortniteGame) July 23, 2018It’s unclear how long this version of Playground Mode will stay in Fort

Naturally, more details continue to trickle out about what’s to come for the forthcoming action-adventure title to keep players in the loop, with Capcom recently confirming that the game uses the same engine as its Resident Evil 2 remake. So, by using the new Resident Evil Engine, the team behind DMC5 has managed to create images of clothing that look like actual fabric by taking real-world garb made just for the project, and then scanning it into the game. While many of these scans for Devil Ma

One of the most surprising moments of E3 2018 was when Phil Spencer mentioned that the next-generation of Xbox consoles were already in development and codenamed Scarlet. Thurrott reports that Microsoft plans on launching two distinct versions of the next-generation Xbox. In its report, Thurrott also reiterated that Microsoft is looking to release the next-generation Xbox consoles in 2020. Since Microsoft has already started teasing the next-generation of Xbox hardware, 2020 does seem like a rea

One of the more famous examples came within Destiny, where players discovered a secret quest that awarded a powerful sniper rifle called The Black Spindle for those who not only found the secret entrance but cleared the level under a certain time. This past weekend, Destiny 2 players discovered a newly added secret mission with its own Black Spindle type exotic reward, though the mission appears to be taking a short break. In a Tweet Sunday night, Bungie made it known to all Destiny 2 players th

Pokemon GO players have been busy adding Alolan variants, event Pokemon, and new Legendaries to their collection during these last few weeks; but there’s always something else to track down (at least for most players). Unfortunately, some Pokemon still require traveling around the world to catch or at least having a friend who is willing to bring one back for you to trade. Regional Pokemon do move around from time to time in Pokemon GO, so it’s important to check in and get a feel for where each

There are a large number of Destiny 2 players hanging around on Io waiting for the Taken Blight public event to start, and getting frustrated when it’s “Cabal, Again?” and not the Taken Blight event. The Whispers quest is directly tied to the Taken Blight public event, so fans wanting to snag the Whispers of the Worm exotic sniper rifle are stuck waiting around until the Blight event spawns in on the Lost Oasis. Some fans on the Destiny subreddit stated that they have been waiting for hours with
