However, some games are trying to add challenge to its base level experience, like the upcoming Shadow of the Tomb Raider. According to Game Director Daniel Chayer-Bisson, Shadow of the Tomb Raider will be the hardest entry in the series to-date, a bold claim if there ever was one. This will be, I would say, the most difficult Tomb Raider of all the Tomb Raiders. An increased difficulty isn’t all Shadow of the Tomb Raider is bringing to the table, as developers Eidos Montreal and Crystal Dynamic

Although Fortnite is a fun game that’s known for its accessibility, plenty of players take the multiplayer shooter incredibly seriously. So it comes as little surprise then that some Fortnite players are even willing to pay better-skilled players in order to get ahead in the game. According to a new report by the BBC, some talented Fortnite players are making bank by offering to coach others at how to become better at the game. Some players are even promoting themselves as “bodyguards,” offering

This week, Xur has left the tower and headed for Jupiter’s moon, Io. The exotic perk on this helm not only visually marks targeted enemies but deals increased damage to low-health marked enemies. Its exotic perk is called Heightened Senses and provides enhanced radar as well as the ability to mark enemies while standing in a rift. Its exotic perk, Solar Rampart, can recharge Barricade and supercharges it with a blast of Solar energy when summoned after a solar based kill. For his exotic weapon t

As a matter of fact, the game’s animation director, Billy Harper, recently teased the project’s demo at this year’s big industry event by sharing an image of a katana in use within a motion capture studio. As seen in the tweet below from Harper’s official Twitter account, Ghost of Tsushima fans will find the aforementioned sword sticking out of what appears to be a plastic box of some kind for use during a motion capture session. The Sucker Punch animation director tagged “E3 2018” next to the f

It’s true that most of the Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery experience boils down to tapping on energy meters, but there’s also some combat in the game as well. Dueling is a fairly major part of Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery, and while it’s mostly straightforward, there is one boss fight that appears to be giving some players trouble. The battle plays out like other duels in Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery, meaning that it basically boils down to rock, paper, scissors, with Aggressive stance beati

This much was revealed during a blog post written yesterday by Epic Games, with the Fortnite developer stating it is “currently evaluating keeping a larger squad mode live at all times for those who enjoy [50v50]”. Should Epic Games add a permanent variation of the LTM, then it will undeniably please those clamoring for more selections in modes. While there’s no telling when or if Epic Games will bring about the addition of a permanent “larger squad mode”, the studio did recently give Fortnite f

Additionally, the rumor goes on to state that the Resident Evil 2 remake uses photogrammetry scanning like Resident Evil 7, which indicates that fans might be in for an extremely photo-realistic version of Raccoon City. Finally, Rely on Horror’s source reveals that Capcom relied on outside contractors, including those who worked on both Resident Evil 2 and 4. Taking all of this into consideration, should the information from Rely on Horror’s source be correct, then 2018 ought to be an exciting y

Appropriately, it also marks the anniversary of survival/slasher title Dead by Daylight. As promised by the year 3 content roadmap, a new killer will be added each season, starting with the game’s third anniversary this summer. In anticipation of the first new killer of the year, a teaser trailer was just released that provides a glimpse as to who or what this new menace may be. In true teaser fashion, the “Off the beaten track” trailer does little to inform players on the next killer in Dead by

For solo players however, the updated Iron Banner experience appears to be less than rewarding. Taking to Twitter to discuss Iron Banner feedback, Destiny 2 Crucible lead, Derek Carroll, confirmed that the matchmaking isn’t behaving quite as most people expect. More often than not, the end result is solo players getting crushed or losing matches more consistently. We’ve heard your feedback about solo players getting wrecked by teams in Iron Banner, and can confirm that solos in Iron Banner do no

The Destiny franchise has a rich history of very talented fans creating art, props, videos and more based on the game. Here’s another one worth highlighting: one fan has created some Destiny 2 concept art for Fallen and Cabal themed armor sets, which are totally awesome. In the past, Destiny has featured armor sets that are heavily themed after a certain race or activity in the game—those that come to mind first are the raid armor ornaments added in the Destiny‘s Year Three Age of Triumph. This

It’s hard to imagine a time without Super Smash Bros. With each console generation, the new Smash Bros. installment inevitably arrives and becomes a chief system-seller. However, there was indeed a time when Smash Bros. was only a twinkle in Masahiro Sakurai’s eye. Nintendo Wire’s SNES de-make of Super Smash Bros. is a seriously convincing rendering of the franchise in the 16-bit era, featuring a cast of Nintendo characters scaled back to their SNES era-specific models. The stage select screen t

It now seems that some new shiny Pokemon have been added to the mix, as well. Of course, there is a difference in appearance for each of these new shiny Pokemon to tell them apart from their non-shiny brethren. Players will also get the chance for another shiny Pokemon with the June Community Day in the form of a shiny Tyranitar. With the lure of new shiny Pokemon, increased XP gain, and the increased chances of finding and catching Rock-type Pokemon, Adventure Week should offer plenty for Pokem

Since being released last month, Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery has found itself the subject of several negative headlines. But unfortunately, it seems that these issues are not the only aspects of the game that Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery players aren’t happy with. In Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery, gold can be earned by completing chapters in the game’s story as well as answering questions correctly during lessons. According to industry analysis firms, Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery‘s micro

In order to get Far Cry 5 fans primed and ready for the action to come in Hours of Darkness, Ubisoft released a teaser trailer of the DLC, which can be found directly below.

Just yesterday, the Polish site known as “graczpospolita.pl” shared information potentially indicating that Techland will officially unveil Dying Light 2 with a brand new trailer at some point during E3 2018. Taking all of this into account, with Techland still yet to even openly tease the possibility of Dying Light 2, it’s best to take such assertions about the sequel getting revealed at E3 2018 with a grain of salt. After all, the studio has previously stated that it’s working on two AAA games

Ultimately, this depends largely on how people decide to play Detroit: Become Human, as its length can vary. Those who push through the story as quickly as possible are looking at about eight to 10 hours to complete Detroit: Become Human. With three times the branching paths as Heavy Rain, Quantic Dream clearly intends Detroit: Become Human to be a game that people play through multiple times. All things considered, Detroit: Become Human is actually somewhat lengthy for a game of its nature. Det

After announcing the limited time contest nearly a week ago, Epic Games has finally revealed who took home to top prize. Updating its initial blog detailing the Solo Showdown Limited Time Mode, Epic Games posted the final leaderboard of the top 1000 players. As the ultimate solo showdown champion, vRxthless walks away with a cool 50,000 V-Bucks.
