Assassin’s Creed Odyssey appears to be mixing up the traditional action-adventure style in previous installments and seemingly doubling-down on several RPG elements introduced in Assassin’s Creed Origins. Much like Origins, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey features a skill revolved around taming animals. In Assassin’s Creed Origins, players put an animal to sleep with a sleep dart before being able to tame them. Though they are the prime example, the fact that it states “wild animal” instead of “wild wo

Since a new Halo game, titled Halo: Infinite, was revealed at the Microsoft E3 briefing this year, many fans have been eagerly awaiting more news. During E3, a GIF of the Master Chief in Halo: Infinite was posted by the official Halo account on Twitter. At the time of Downes’ retirement, it seemed that Halo 5 was the last Halo game that Downes would have voiced, and many fans were worried about who will voice the Master Chief in the next Halo game. This tweet indicates that Downes may be briefly

Some of the most sought-after creatures in Pokemon GO are shiny Pokemon, which are extremely rare, palette-swapped variants of Pokemon that are already in the game. Since introducing shiny Magikarp to the game, Niantic has slowly been releasing more shiny Pokemon, with three more set to be added this summer. Throughout the summer, Niantic will release shiny variants of Roselia, Plusle, and Minun in Pokemon GO. Not only are these shiny Pokemon being added alongside these Pokemon GO live events, b

Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery has been met with a great deal of criticism since its launch, with many detractors pointing out how the gameplay experience revolves almost entirely around its microtransactions. Despite these criticisms, Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery has proven itself to be a successful mobile venture, and it seems as though dedicated fans have played it quite a bit since launch. According to a new infographic released on the official Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery Facebook page,

The original Resident Evil 2 is notable for its “Zapping” system, wherein the game effectively had four different campaigns, two for each character, that could impact one another. Anyone hoping to see the Zapping system return for the Resident Evil 2 remake will be disappointed, but the game will still have separate campaigns for Leon and Claire. While Leon and Claire will have separate campaigns in Resident Evil 2, it doesn’t mean that the two characters aren’t going to interact with one anothe

Very recently, in addition to all these details, a video that shows off the game’s open world map has started circulating the internet. Caboose on YouTube reveals even more details of the map though, by referring to a video that he sourced off Reddit. The video shows the Avengers Tower easter egg that Insomniac has included in the game, which indicates that we are in fact in the Marvel universe. The Avengers Tower in the game is slightly different in design from the Avengers Tower that we see in

Niantic is calling this Professor Willow’s Global Challenge. If players in attendance at the Safari Zone event complete 100,000 Field Research tasks, they will unlock bonus XP for catching Pokemon. The second challenge will take place during Pokemon GO Fest in Chicago, from July 14 to July 15. The third and final event that’s a part of Professor Willow’s Global Challenge has yet to be given an exact date, but we know that it will be a Safari Zone taking place in late summer in Yokosuka, Japan.

Sitting down to watch Cyberpunk 2077 at E3 2018 it was unclear what to expect. Developer CD Projekt Red had only just recently shown the first “footage” of the game and that was in a self-contained trailer. The world of Cyberpunk 2077 is dense and packed with detail from top to bottom. The world of Cyberpunk 2077 falls in line with the dense, overpopulated mega structures seen in films like Blade Runner. Branching Narratives at Every TurnThe FPS element may throw players off but make no mistake;

Not only is the Resident Evil 2 remake staying to the original game’s story, setting, and pure-horror atmopshere, but it’s also bringing back some familiar monsters, including one of the 1998 title’s most memorable bosses. The mutant alligator is one of the original Resident Evil 2‘s more outlandish elements, but Capcom is committed to recreating the beast for the remake. Furthermore, the game is also moving to an over-the-shoulder camera instead of the fixed camera angles from the original game

The PlayStation 4 exclusive will be entering the Marvel comic book canon later this year as part of the recently announced Spidergeddon cross-over event. There was an unidentified figure in that teaser, a silhouette erased from the page that was revealed to be Insomniac’s Spider-Man, according to an exclusive from Polygon. In the fall, Insomniac’s Spider-Man, who by all accounts is a relatively normal take on Peter Parker, will take up arms with other Spider-powered heroes including Spider-Gwen,

It seems as if this paid off from a perspective of viewership, as Microsoft’s showcase during the expo has now been declared the highest watched live stream on Twitch ever since the platform’s inception. As seen in the data set provided by the fine folks at Githyp, Microsoft’s Xbox E3 2018 press conference managed to draw in an impressive 1.7 million folks watching at its peak concurrent viewership.

Last week, developer Jam City finally added Year 4 to Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery, allowing players to complete the first couple of chapters before hitting yet another roadblock. We can confirm from our own testing that Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery players can progress to Year 4 Chapter 5 before being asked to wait for more content. At the time of this writing, there is actually more to do in Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery than at any other point since the game’s release. While some fans ma

Rare will have every opportunity to launch a Banjo-Kazooie event in Sea of Thieves, so long as they’ve planned ahead and laid out preparations. Several references to Banjo-Kazooie lie hidden among the islands of Sea of Thieves, but one island in particular is now drawing attention. Rare then is shown to care deeply about bringing Banjo-Kazooie into Sea of Thieves in assorted ways. And Rare has the opportunity to start a Banjo-Kazooie event in Sea of Thieves for the 20th anniversary if it so choo

Speaking of the lattermost property, game producer Koji Nakajima recently revealed that Light Yagami and Ryuk from Death Note are only there to set up the story, and not to fight. This much was divulged during a recent interview held between Nakajima and GameSpot, with the Jump Force producer speaking through translation, saying, “This game is going to feature a story around this unique situation, and that’s where Death Note comes into play. So, Death Note is not [going to have] a fighting game

It’s once again Friday which means the exotic merchant Xur has arrived with a new set of gear for Destiny 2 players to purchase. Here’s a rundown on where to find Xur as well as what he’s offering from June 15 until June 18. This is especially true for PvP players, as The Stag’s exotic perk, Dearly Departed, is a fantastic tool for the entire team. The Sealed Ahamkara Grasps feature the Nightmare Fuel exotic perk, which reloads the player’s currently equipped weapon when they take melee damage.

About a couple of weeks ago, the video game developer Epic Games officially added basketball-themed items to the wildly popular multiplayer sandbox survival shooter Fortnite in order to celebrate this year’s NBA Finals. Now, the company has decided to show its support for World Cup 2018 by adding soccer-styled skins and cosmetics to the title to get fans into the spirit of the global sporting event as well. As indicated in the tweet below, Epic Games has added a way for Fortnite fans around the

The company behind the Nintendo Switch ports of DOOM and Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus are currently working on a new “major” port, according to an interview with Variety. It was, however, confirmed that Panic Button Games is working on a major port right now – most likely for the Switch. Interviewee Adam Creighton (Director of Development at Panic Button Games) mentioned that the port would be announced some time next month. DOOM is available now for Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, and Xb

A few days ago, Pokemon GO confirmed Tyranitar’s special Community Day move as Smack Down, which was expected considering the move leaked shortly after last month’s event. It’s worth mentioning, though, that this change doesn’t decrease Tyranitar’s newfound position in the metagame but properly balances the Rock- and Dark-type in Pokemon GO. In exchange, however, the move does slightly more damage, keeping a Smack Down Tyranitar’s place in the meta, just with a loss of energy per second. Neverth

Destiny 2 and Bungie have been enjoying a lot of good press over the last few weeks.
