Last week, Destiny 2‘s developer Bungie explained that the design philosophy behind Escalation Protocol, the new endgame horde mode added to the game in the Warmind DLC, was that it should be able to be completed by a three-player fireteam at a high Power level. As predicted, Bungie is not adding large group matchmaking but has nerfed the difficulty of Destiny 2‘s Escalation Protocol in order to bring it more in line with the design goals for the mode, primarily as being a three-player mode. As

In the This Week at Bungie blogpost, Bungie announced that Destiny 2’s Year 2 plans will be officially revealed on June 5 on the Bungie Twitch channel. There have been no other mentions of the new game mode, but perhaps Bungie will give some insight into this claim during the reveal stream. Hopefully, the new game mode will keep players invested in the game like Escalation Protocol has for some players in Destiny 2. Destiny typically has some time on the E3 show floor, so fans may get to see mor

This week Bungie released a new update for Destiny 2 that included improvements to the game’s Faction Rally event. And while Faction Rally isn’t set to go live just yet, Bungie has detailed what changes players can expect from the event when it starts on Tuesday. One of the main goals for Faction Rally that Bungie wants to deliver in Season 3 of Destiny 2 is to make pledging a difficult and meaningful choice.

As it so happens, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas isn’t the only Rockstar Games title announced today for inclusion in Xbox One’s Backward Compatibility program. For those unaware, the three aforementioned titles aren’t the only projects from Rockstar Games that have graced the Xbox One’s Backward Compatibility program. Not too long ago, the developer announced the additions of such as Red Dead Redemption, Grand Theft Auto 4, and Bully: Scholarship Edition. Until then, though, perhaps fans will bi

The trailer for Fallout 76 took just about everyone by surprise. Vault 76, according to the data log, began construction in February 2065 and ended in October 2069. The fact that Vault 76 functions as a normal Vault may be significant to Fallout 76‘s reported Rust-like multiplayer gameplay. Aside from this, Fallout 3′s data logs also give us some minor detail about the setting of the new game, as Vault 76 is described as being a Washington D.C.-area Vault. Fallout 76 is currently in development

The Hollywood reporter has confirmed that actor James Marsden will star in the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog movie, though his role in the film has not yet been disclosed.

Slatoff’s comments may reveal what Take-Two is planning for Red Dead Redemption 2 DLC. The fact that the Red Dead and Grand Theft Auto 5 teams are separate entities completely independent of each other further supports this theory.

Fans should take solace in this as Red Dead Redemption 2 suffered a huge delay last year. Red Dead Redemption 2 is set to release October 26, 2018 on

The differences between Pokemon GO and J

When Bethesda began to tease an upcoming game set in its popular post-apocalyptic RPG universe, fan theories ran wild, with everything from a Fallout 3 Remaster and Fallout Battle Royale to Fallout 5, and Fallout: New Vegas 2 being described as contenders. While some of these were a bit of fun, a remaster of the third entry in the series was a highly-desired title, so some may have been a bit let down when Fallout 76 was announced. However, fans of the Fallout 3 Remaster theory may have still ha
