With each new Red Dead Redemption 2 trailer, Rockstar Games has shown fans that horses in the game will have impressive detail. The developer has now confirmed that there will be all-new horse loyalty gameplay when the game launches later this year. Rockstar recently showcased a 45-minute demo of Red Dead Redemption 2 to press and during this preview event, the developer confirmed that players will able to bond with their horses. This has direct gameplay ramifications as the greater the bond, th

Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery players, assuming they didn’t splurge on any microtransactions and have consistently played since launch, should now be getting through Year 2 of their Hogwarts education. For the uninitiated, Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery players can explore the castle grounds in search of free energy reserves by clicking on objects in the environment. Players should make collecting this free energy a regular part of their Hogwarts Mystery routine, as it will help them get throug

One game that gets overlooked is Beyond Good and Evil 2 likely due in large part to how far under the radar it has gone since its original reveal last year. In the latest update for Beyond Good and Evil 2, a new trailer shows off visually stunning pre-alpha footage of how players can navigate the large world. For this spiritual successor, Ubisoft is crafting plenty of large open world spaces for players to explore. What’s interesting is that players can seamlessly exit their ship, switch to a je

The best thing to come out of the first Star Wars episode, Star Wars: Episode 1 Racer, has been made available on digital distribution platform GOG. Currently on sale for $8.49, the game features alongside a host of other Star Wars games which are reduced in honor of Star Wars day (May the 4th). Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is priced at $3.39, as is Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, and Star Wars: X-Wing Special Edition comes in at $3.99. Overall the game is at a very appealing pric

This week, Rockstar Games gave fans their closest look yet at Red Dead Redemption 2 in the form of an extended trailer. Based on the previews it sounds like Red Dead Redemption 2 is going to give players more options than ever. Apparently, these types of quests will present themselves throughout Red Dead Redemption 2 and it is up to the player to decide whether or not to act on them. Perhaps Rockstar is taking those ideas and running with them in Red Dead Redemption 2. Red Dead Redemption 2 rele

Activision Blizzard held its Q2 2018 financial call today and with it came a lot of talk about the publisher’s future products, as well as some reflections on the past quarter. However, when it came to listing out all of its accomplishments for Q2, Activision Blizzard left one major franchise out: Destiny 2. To be fair, Activision Blizzard did give a brief mention to Destiny 2, touting its upcoming September expansion, which includes a mode that has never been featured in a first person shooter

Even though Destiny 2‘s Warmind expansion won’t be available until May 8, some are already looking forward to what comes next. Activision didn’t reveal any additional details about Destiny 2‘s new game mode, but it’s interesting that it said the mode is new to the FPS genre. This could indicate that it is a game mode that gamers have seen in a different kind of game, but we’ll have to wait for more information to be sure. Luckily, Destiny 2 fans likely won’t have to wait too much longer to find

Although Red Dead Redemption 2 is focused on Arthur Morgan, the game will also focus on the character’s role in the Van der Linde gang. There are also two new characters called Karen and Lenny, who accompany Bill and Arthur on a bank heist in one Red Dead Redemption 2 mission. Managing and understand those personalities will be fairly important to players because Red Dead Redemption 2 also introduces a camp morale feature. Without these resources, gang members may complain, but when they’re happ

One of the most well-praised things about Red Dead Redemption was its gun combat. Many fans would agree that preserving – or improving – the quality of that gun gameplay is incredibly important for Red Dead Redemption 2. Though not all of Red Dead Redemption 2‘s NPCs will be afraid of threats and some may pull their own guns out in retaliation. Previous rumors suggested that Arthur Morgan’s version of Dead Eye will allow the Red Dead Redemption 2 protagonist to track quests as well as animals. R

God of War is now the PlayStation 4’s fastest selling exclusive, selling an astonishing 3.1 million units in just three days. If Sony provides further sales information for God of War in the weeks to come, it will help paint a picture regarding the game’s potential for sales post-launch. Comparing God of War‘s initial sales to other major PlayStation exclusive releases helps show just how impressive of an achievement the record is. God of War‘s sales numbers and Sony’s willingness to quickly sha

Rockstar Games has already delighted its fans this week by releasing a new Red Dead Redemption 2 trailer. However, that trailer is not the only big Red Dead Redemption 2 reveal from this week, as previews of the game have also offered up lots of new information. Some of these “fun things” for returning Red Dead Redemption fans will include returning characters. As the new trailer confirmed, Red Dead Redemption 2 will also feature John Marston, the lead of the first Red Dead Redemption. Red Dead

The creative director of EA’s flagship football franchise, Madden, has announced via his Twitter feed that he is no longer an employee of the company. Rex Dickson had been working in the role for the past six years, overseeing every game in the franchise since Madden NFL 13, as well as the NCAA 14 title released for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. I have left EA Tiburon and the Madden team. Madden NFL 18 also saw the introduction of a dedicated story mode known as “Longshot,” which was relatively we

Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery players have to do a lot of waiting to get to Year 2 in the game, but once they get there, they will find a number of key differences between it and Year 1. For those Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery players who have reached Year 2 in the game, here is everything that is different. New ClassesIn Year 2, Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery players have a lot more classes to take. Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery players who have made it to Year 2 will find that although ther

The start of May kicks off a new Breakthrough Research reward, a Battle Showdown event, and some shakeups to the Field Research quests and their rewards. The Pokemon GO community has seen Field Research quests shift during Community Day events, but this is first non-event change to quests being offered and their respective rewards. We covered the original encounter rewards when the new system launched, but this update warrants revisiting the possible encounter rewards for each quest. Luckily, th

Rockstar Games debuted a new trailer for Red Dead Redemption 2 that gives insight into the upcoming title, such as its themes and story. Just below that is the Red Dead Redemption 2 logo on top of the stars of the American flag. While the bulk of the Van der Linde gang are made up of new characters, there is at least one familiar face among them. The original game’s protagonist, John Marston, will be featured in Red Dead Redemption 2. Red Dead Redemption 2 releases October 26, 2018 for PS4 and X

Following the launch of season four, Fortnite’s map underwent a series of changes to better fit the season’s superhero theme, and we’re here to break down those changes and take a stab at what may be coming with season five. It’s unclear whether this inclusion is meant to tie into season four and the superhero theme, since superhero movies are incredibly popular, or if the set is meant to be the first clue for season five. The green screens could also tie into the enormous footprint found near S

While we have already detailed where to find all the letters to spell FORTNITE, there is also a treasure map challenge this week that sends players looking for a specific area. Treasure Map in Tomato TownStep one is to land in Tomato Town and find the map in the Northwest corner of the landmark area. Look along the brick wall behind the signature Tomato Town building and you should see the map. Looking at the map it is easy to recognize that Fortnite players need to head to Loot Lake for their t

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds‘ next big update, Patch 12, will be arriving on live servers on PC soon. The patch will go live Thursday after four hours of maintenance that will start at 7:00 p.m. on May 2. The patch is among the game’s biggest updates, bringing a weapon balance overhaul and map selection to PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. The new vehicle is exclusive to the Miramar map and can be found in downtown areas and on main city streets. PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is currently availabl

Now the critically-acclaimed game is playable on Xbox One through the backward compatibility program. While not as over-the-top as Saints Row: The Third or the superhero-themed Saints Row 4, it has no shortage of colorful characters and off-the-wall humor as players work their way through Stilwater’s seedy criminal underworld. Now that Saints Row 2 has been added to the Xbox One backward compatibility program, anyone that already owns the game digitally or physically (on Xbox 360, of course) sho

Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery has been a divisive game so far, with some enjoying the chance to revisit Hogwarts, and others criticizing the game’s excessive use of microtransactions. In Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery, gems can be spent on a number of different things to help players get through the story faster. For example, 20 gems can be exchanged for 10 energies, 55 gems for 30 energies, and 100 gems for 60 energies. Some of the cosmetics in Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery require coins, whe
