There is already significant interest surrounding Fortnite Battle Royale tournaments. But it seems that Fortnite developer Epic Games wants to take a more active role and has announced new efforts to grow the game’s eSports scene even further. In a post published today on the official Epic Games website, the company revealed that, during the first year of Fortnite Battle Royale competitive play, it will provide $100 million to fund prize pools for these competitions. Since the popularity of Fort

In a surprise announcement, Monday morning Niantic revealed that plans to add the Alola Forms of Kanto Region Pokemon to Pokemon GO in the coming weeks. The announcement was made via the official Pokemon GO Twitter account, along with a classic “Who’s that Pokemon?” style teaser featuring all of the Alola Forms in shadow. Within the teaser image, virtually all of the known Pokemon with Alola Forms are accounted for, barring certain evolutions. Since Pokemon GO already features Kanto-region Pokem

In an effort to get Battlefield fans just a little more excited for the Battlefield V announcement, a brief teaser trailer has now been published to the franchise’s official Twitter account.

During the discussion, Murray promised that the development team will continue to work on updates to the game in order to ensure a high benchmark of quality control will be preserved in the future. “There’s a real hunger in the community to know everything we’re doing and have a complete roadmap and stuff like that. This, in turn, led to an actual investigation by the Advertising Standards Authority as to whether or not the Steam store page for No Man’s Sky included assets that many believe misr

May has been a huge (and busy) month for Pokemon GO players. Events are coming and going every few week, there was a very popular Community Day, and three different Legendary Battle Raid bosses have been up for grabs. Currently, there are two level five Battle Raid bosses available and many Pokemon GO players are starting to feel a little frustrated. These frustrations stem from the short period of time that players have to complete a raid after the boss appears. Usually, when there is only one

In its third year of post-launch support, Rainbow Six Siege continues to defy expectations as its popularity and player base have broken new milestones. While Operation Para Bellum won’t have a new co-op mode to replace the zombie-inspired content from the previous season, Para Bellum adds two new Italian Operators as well as a map based in a beautiful villa. Known as the Evil Eye, Maestro players can place these heavy duty cameras on floors or walls. In addition to Alibi, Maestro, and the new V

Hideo Kojima’s Death Stranding remains one of Sony’s most intriguing games and with E3 2018 right around the corner, even more details are likely right around the corner. One such character sure to be in the next trailer is Mads Mikkelsen, who recently spoke about his time working with Kojima on the game. Speaking to the French site Premiere regarding his latest film, Mikkelsen was asked about his work on Death Stranding and how it compared to working on films. With Death Stranding set to be a f

We know that Infinity Ward will be developing 2019’s Call of Duty game, and if a new rumor is to be believed, the game it’s working on is none other than Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4. Further evidence that Modern Warfare 4 is next year’s Call of Duty comes from the Twitter account of voice actor Craig Fairbrass. This past March, Fairbrass updated his Twitter bio to indicate that he has worked on four Modern Warfare games, though he has since changed the bio to remove mention of the unannounced

Last year, Capcom dashed any hope for a Nintendo Switch port of Resident Evil 7 when producer Masachika Kawata denied that the game was in development for the console. However, it looks like Capcom changed its mind, as Resident Evil 7 has officially been announced for the Nintendo Switch – in Japan, at least. Launching exclusively on the Switch eShop in Japan on May 24, Resident Evil 7: Cloud Version will only be playable through the cloud. The cloud-only model may not be for everyone, but if it

Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery is set about a decade before Harry Potter begins his adventures at Hogwarts, and it gives players a chance to see what some characters were up to before the start of the books. Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery players first come across puppy Fang in Year 1. Despite the entire draw of Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery being its story, fans have discovered numerous plot holes and continuity errors, including some that have broken established Harry Potter canon. Harry Pott

It seems Fortnite is finally ready to add its long-promised jetpacks to the Battle Royale mode. After a while and no jetpack mention from Epic Games, it seemed as though the jetpacks had been shelved for good. Although Fortnite has plenty of goofy weapons and consumables, Epic Games is careful about trying to make sure the Battle Royale mode is balanced and it runs well. As of now, the jetpacks are only a part of the game files, and those can easily change from one update to the next. It’s also

Although Pokemon GO Adventure Week hasn’t exactly been explicitly confirmed yet, there have been enough hints to guarantee that the event is on its way later this month. Last year’s Pokemon GO Adventure Week took place from May 18 – May 25 and all the signs suggest this year’s won’t be far behind. 2017’s Adventure Week saw an increase in Rock-types, along with several other in-game bonuses. Pokemon GO Hub spotted and pointed out the code that references a handful of Adventure Week quests. Nianti

Although things have been going very well for Pokemon GO, the game still has plenty of issues to iron out. Recently, a dedicated player took to Reddit to list out every existing identified bug that still needs to be fixed in the game.

A group of Destiny 2 players have successfully completed the latest Destiny 2 Raid, Spire of Stars, in record-breaking time. The raid team, made up of Chevy, Sweatcicle, Eon, Ferdog, FrankUK, and Indica, has completed the Spire of Stars Raid in an astounding time of 16 minutes and 28 seconds. Indica has posted the team’s full strategy on the Destiny 2 Reddit page, as well as some videos from the perspectives of the different players.

There will be no single-player Campaign mode, with resources instead diverted to multiplayer, three maps for Zombies, narrative-driven missions for each of the Specialists in multiplayer, and Blackout, the series’ first Battle Royale mode. The idea for Blackout, said Treyarch’s co-studio head Dan Bunting, started when many members of the team were playing Battle Royale games early last year. Indeed, PLAYERUNKNOWN was quick to recognize the influence of his own game on the Blackout mode, taking t

However, Crucible Ranking in Destiny 2 is hardly what those players envisioned; in fact, it’s quite bad in its current iteration. The Glory ranking system is practically the same as the Valor system, except players lose Glory for losses and there is a loss streak in addition to the win streak. If they beat a player that is Glory Rank 4 or a player that is Glory Rank 1, the boost to their personal Glory is still the same. The whole point of a ranking system is to help players see where they stand

The Call of Duty franchise is known for its annual releases as well as its standard Season Pass DLC model. However, if a recently leaked image is true, it seems as if this model will soon change with the upcoming Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. Notably absent is a season pass, which is usually standard with each Call of Duty title’s collector’s edition. According to @EBGamesAus, here’s what’s included in the Call of Duty Black Ops 4 Specialist Edition! Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 is set to be released

Last weekend, Fortnite’s Season 4 Week 3 Battle Pass Challenges leaked online, and it seems as if the same thing has occurred once again to offer fans of Epic Games’ hybrid construction survival shooter a glimpse at the title’s forthcoming prestigious feats to be accomplished. Today, a datamine of the game shows Season 4 Week 4’s Challenges on the horizon, and it might be a tough go for those trying to complete them all. As seen in the image below of the list of leaked challenges for Fortnite‘s

Now, however, Treyarch Senior Producer Yale Miller has intimated that the forthcoming first-person shooter sequel could add a single-player campaign after its release. According to the studio’s Senior Producer, though, a more standard single-player experience could come post-launch, as he said, “[The single player mode] is only missing at this moment in time,” which potentially infers its inclusion after release. “I really think with every game we make, we finish that title and then we ask ‘what

Now, even more speculation about the extreme sports brand is cropping up, as a potential promo image for the fourth entry in the franchise may have leaked online. Should the photo be legitimate, then this could indicate that the publisher is primed to announce the fourth installment at E3 2018. After all, many highly anticipated sequels to some of the most beloved series have seen fans create elaborate and convincing fakes of what where originally claimed to be evidence of an unannounced game’s
