Today in its weekly blog update, Bungie revealed that part of that endgame content will include more raid lairs over the course of the year across three content drops. Destiny 2: Forsaken promises a new raid with the DLC’s release, a raid that Bungie says contains more bosses than any other raid the developer has ever made. With the announcement of more raid lairs, the potential and reality of The Dreaming City is coming into focus. It’s probably safe to assume that raid lairs will also take pla

The torrid release schedule for Crackdown 3 continues, as today Microsoft has once again officially shifted the open world action game’s launch date. But Microsoft is a bit more firm than previously with this delay; Crackdown 3 is now officially planned to launch in February 2019 for both the PC and Xbox One. Incidental to the confirmation of the delay, Microsoft also revealed that Crackdown 3 would still be a featured game during E3 this year. Expect at least a trailer to be shown during the Xb

It’s only been a week since Capcom introduced Lunastra to Monster Hunter World and they’re already back with another addition that’s certain to please the game’s hardcore fans. Monster Hunter World’s newest quest, “A Whisper of White Mane,” went live today at 6pm PT. While this certainly isn’t something on the same level as last month’s Street Fighter crossover, one has to commend Capcom for the dedication they’re showing to Monster Hunter World. Thanks in large part to Monster Hunter World’s su

During today’s livestream about Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 multiplayer, Treyarch confirmed that it will be bringing back several maps from the wider Black Ops series. There’s Jungle (a Black Ops map that’s set in the dense Vietnam jungle and supports all sorts of gameplay styles), Slums (a Black Ops 2 map set in 1980s Panama with a main street and marketplace), Summit (a Black Ops map set in Ural Mountains which is narrow and has buildings and platforms), and Firing Range (a Black Ops map set at

However, players are finding some of the new Heroic Strikes modifiers, which rotate on a weekly and daily basis, too difficult. Hearing these concerns, Bungie is taking another look at Heroic Strikes and potentially tuning them for a July update. Bungie’s community manager, dmg04, took to Twitter to address complaints that certain modifiers, combined with the higher light level requirements, made Heroic Strikes too challenging; namely, the Blackout, Glass, and Grounded modifiers. It’s why many p

Just ahead of E3 2018, Warner Bros. Interactive and IO have dropped a surprise reveal trailer for Hitman 2. The announcement arrives just a day after the title leaked, so this was likely meant to be an E3 surprise. Hitman 2 will take players to a fresh sandbox full of new weapons, locations, targets, and tools to plan their perfect assassination. The game’s trailer looks like it is taking everything that worked in the last Hitman title and just adding on to the formula. Fans can likely expect to

Pokemon GO shiny collectors may have thought they were in for a break with the Adventure Week spawns and Ho-Oh going away, but that’s not the case. The Pokemon GO Water Festival is back and this year it is bringing with it at least two very exciting shiny variants for trainers to track down. Shiny pokemon aren’t different from regular pokemon in any way aside from aesthetics, but gamers still love to hunt them down. When the Water Festival event kicks off in a few hours, trainers will be able to

Latios and Latias flew away from Tier 5 Pokemon GO battle raids yesterday and today Niantic is already preparing to introduce the next Legendary raid encounter. Whether players are ready or not, Kyogre is returning to Pokemon GO battle raids starting today. As part of Pokemon GO Water Festival 2018, Kyogre will reappear during the special event. Here’s the official announcement from Pokemon GO Live…“Raid Battles will also feature powerful Water-type Pokémon for the duration of the celebration, i

Pokemon GO players who have been complaining about event fatigue may not be thrilled to find out that just a few days after the Adventure Week spawns settled down, Niantic is ready to unleash this year’s Pokemon GO Water Festival. Water Festival is another one of Pokemon GO’s recurring annual events and this time around trainers will be able to catch a ton of Water-types while cashing in on exciting rewards. The most exciting part of the event for many player will be 3× Stardust for catching Wat

With the depature of Latios and Latias, Pokemon GO raiders are in for a change. Niantic will likely announce Pokemon GO’s next Tier 5 raid boss (or bosses) in the very near future, but so far it’s a mystery. Until Niantic decides to introduce a new legendary boss or bring back an old one, Pokemon GO players will have to keep themselves busy with the current rotation of regular raid bosses. Some of these current raid bosses are definitely still meta relevant, but most hardcore players likely alre

Today, one of those stories came to light, this time surrounding the trailer for the new Destiny 2 expansion Forsaken. As spotted by one eagle-eyed Reddit user today, Sony has seemingly censored an Xbox One controller seen in the trailer for Forsaken. Thanks to a marketing deal between Sony and Destiny publisher Activision, PlayStation gets content not available to Xbox players, from strikes and missions to armor and exotic weapons. That being said the idea that a few seconds of an Xbox controll

With E3 2018 just a few days away, rumors surrounding the future of Gears of War have begun to pick up steam. If something is announced, perhaps it might kickstart some details regarding Universal Studio’s cinematic take on the franchise. Dave Bautista, a former wrestler turned actor, is something that has also been following the movie closely since its announcement. Without hesitation, Marcus Fenix, the lead character from the original Gears of War trilogy, was quickly named as a character he a

However, this Pokemon GO update adds a sound effect file for a move not yet included in the game, namely Smack Down. First off, it seemingly confirms the rumors that Larvitar’s exclusive move for Community Day would be Smack Down. However, it’s worth mentioning that Niantic could decide to change this before Community Day, as it did with Charizard’s Blast Burn. Nevertheless, many Pokemon GO players may be excited to get their hands on a Smack Down Tyranitar, especially considering the increasing

Then, of course, there are games stuck in development hell, the most prominent of which currently being Crackdown 3, the city-leveling game featuring Terry Crews that may be getting delayed yet again. While still unconfirmed by Microsoft, another Crackdown 3 delay isn’t exactly hard to believe. At one point the game was set to be released alongside the Xbox One X but it was eventually delayed for various reasons. What exactly is causing so many problems with Crackdown 3’s development is anyone’s

There is really no questioning Final Fantasy 7‘s legacy. For those unfamiliar, the Final Fantasy House is the name given to an apartment rented by two individuals, referred to as Jenova and Hojo, in Pennsylvania. Jenova, or Jen for short, believed and convinced others that they were actually video game characters reincarnated in the real world. The saga of the Final Fantasy House is presented with great detail by Knudsen in his video. It’s all very interesting and disturbing, but there is some q

Earlier this week, Rockstar Games ruffled some feathers when it revealed that players who purchased the Red Dead Redemption 2 special edition will get exclusive access to some gameplay content. The only way to access that content – a gang hideout and a bank heist mission – would be to purchase the Red Dead Redemption 2 Special Edition and it would not be available through any other means. The Bank Robbery and Gang Hideout included in the RDR2 Special Edition are side activities created specifica

A few weeks ago, we got our first glimpse of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4‘s multiplayer with a reveal trailer for the game. It’s rather telling that the livestream, like the reveal trailer, is going to show off the game’s multiplayer mode. The livestream, it seems, is strategically timed to build and maintain hype around Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 in the run-up to E3, where Activision likely plans to unveil a Multiplayer demo of the game. pic.twitter.com/e7CvYIlGUm — Treyarch Studios (@Treyarch) Jun

As it so happens, several recent job listings have outed that the company is looking for a few new hires on a “first-person tactical shooter” project. Interestingly enough, this isn’t the first instance of a job listing being shared online that publicly unearths a fresh intellectual property from Creative Assembly. All things considered, while Creative Assembly fans are surely thrilled at the prospect at a new tactical FPS from the company, it’s safe to say that many have their fingers crossed f

When Nintendo officially announced Pokemon Let’s Go Pikachu and Pokemon Let’s Go Eeevee, the company also revealed a brand new Pokemon peripheral called the Poke Ball Plus. Like any portable device, there are battery limits, and Nintendo has now revealed more info about the Poke Ball Plus battery life. Regarding the Poke Ball Plus battery life, there is some confusion. Initially, the Nintendo of America version of the chart said that the Poke Ball Plus battery life is just three hours. The Poke

It won’t be long now before the forthcoming PlayStation 4 exclusive Death Stranding is to be shown off during E3 2018, and fans of the enigmatic title understandably have their fingers crossed that Hideo Kojima will finally provide everyone with some direct gameplay. Speaking of which, a purported leak circulating online has now potentially given details involving certain multiplayer and combat elements that could show up in the game once it releases. [that] is causing the time distortions and d
