About a couple of weeks ago, Ubisoft put out a “Guns for Hire” breakdown to promote its forthcoming first-person shooter Far Cry 5, with the information giving fans a better idea of the game’s nine NPC allies capable of being recruited. Now, the publisher and developer have put out a fresh video that focuses solely on the title’s dog companion, Boomer, with Ubisoft developers explaining the origins behind the trusty pup and his abilities in the game.

January 2018 was an excellent month in general for the video game industry, not just for Monster Hunter World. While sales were up across the industry, it was Monster Hunter World that took the coveted spot as best-selling video game of the month. The first Monster Hunter title to be developed for the current generation of consoles, Monster Hunter World appeared to be an attempt by Capcom to attract a more mainstream Western gaming audience to the series. In its first weekend alone, the game sol

In its wake, discussions on mental health and gun control have risen, but it also seems violence in video games has found its way into this discussion. To that effect, Robert (Bobby) Nardolillo (R) of the Rhode Island House of Representatives has proposed a tax increase on violent video games. Nardolillo is not the first Republican politician to place the blame for mass shootings on video games. The revenue generated by this tax would fund “counseling, mental health programs and other conflict r

There’s no doubt that there are plenty of Final Fantasy 15 fans eagerly anticipating the role-playing game’s release on PC, especially with the title’s launch date for the platform now just a little over a week away. As seen below in the tweet from the prolific Twitter user Wario64, the Steam version of Final Fantasy 15 will give fans the chance to receive a Half-Life Pack that includes a costume designed after the first-person shooter’s protagonist Gordon Freeman. Final Fantasy XV Windows Editi

As its name implies, Metal Gear Survive is all about survival. The primary way players will gather food in Metal Gear Survive is by hunting animals and preparing the meat with their campfire at base camp. With potatoes in hand, the next step is to build the potato farm back at base camp. Now that Metal Gear Survive players have a steady supply of potatoes, they should be able to hold off starvation much more effectively. Metal Gear Survive is out now on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.

In the four years since being made the head of Xbox, Phil Spencer has overseen some of the most trying times for the brand. I personally committed to do better”Spencer discussed at great length his early days leading Xbox. Using Xbox as an example, Spencer reflected on the controversy regarding the 2016 Game Developers Conference party hosted by Xbox that featured woman dancing on platforms. Several major game companies such as Riot and Blizzard are taking action to reduce toxic behavior in game

No matter how fans look at it, Metal Gear Survive has fans talking and playing the game. One new feature in Metal Gear Survive is skills related to certain classes. Players could think this similar to specialist skills from previous Metal Gear games. Players will likely see their first weapon in Metal Gear Survive be a spear. Metal Gear Survive is out now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.

As seen in the Instagram post below from Emily O’Brien, the actress made the announcement by sharing a picture of herself standing in between both Baker and Norman Reedus, the latter of whom has already been confirmed as one of the main characters in Death Stranding. The caption she wrote for the image reads, “Honored to be working alongside these two fine lads on Hideo Kojima’s new project Death Stranding. At this point in time, there’s no telling as to what parts both Baker and O’Brien will be

We know a new Metroid is in development, but news on either a remake or new version of Super Smash Bros. has been strangely missing. Until now, that is…Industry tipster Emily Rogers claims to have sources who indicate a Super Smash Bros. game will be released on the Nintendo Switch before the end of 2018. Most notably, the industry insider leaked full specs for the Nintendo Switch before the console’s launch. There were recent rumors about an upcoming Nintendo Direct, so perhaps the focus of tha

Very little has been revealed about the upcoming film adaptation of popular PlayStation exclusive The Last of Us since the project was first announced. However, a recent statement made by Naughty Dog Creative Director Neil Druckmann seems to suggest that any future film adaptation of the title will not be a direct retelling of the game. Summit yesterday, Druckmann took the opportunity to share his thoughts about the upcoming film adaptations of the Uncharted series and The Last of Us. While havi

Destiny 2‘s roadmap of patches and features coming to the game has been updated by its developer Bungie. This comes just days ahead of the planned February 27 game update, which was said to include a comprehensive list of improvements and tweaks. However, not all of the features in the original developer roadmap will be released on time; some have been delayed until March. Most notably, unique Nightfall rewards have been delayed until the March update. Destiny 2 and its Curse of Osiris expansion

Of course, that didn’t come to pass, but that doesn’t mean Naughty Dog has abandoned the idea of making a first-person game entirely. Considering the studio’s pedigree, it’s easy to trust that it would be successful in making a first-person game. Of course, Naughty Dog could always end up making another third-person game instead. Naughty Dog’s next game after The Last of Us: Part 2 won’t be seen for quite some time, perhaps even years. After Naughty Dog finishes development on that particular pr

Microsoft’s exclusive title, State of Decay 2, the upcoming open world zombie survival game and follow-up to 2011’s State of Decay, released a pair of new screenshots today. For those unfamiliar with the first game, State of Decay tasks the player with staying alive in an open world that has been overrun by zombies. Players can do this by recruiting and leveling up survivor NPCs, and scrounging for supplies for their homebase. – Matt Heiniger, technical artist #Undeadlabs #Microsoftstudios #SOD2

It may be surprising to some that Warhorse Studios’ Kingdom Come: Deliverance is so popular, considering the limited scope of its indie release. However, if Fryvaldsky’s and other developer’s statements on this matter are indicative of anything, then it seems that Kingdom Come: Deliverance should definitely get continued support. While this report form Lupa is a loose translation from Google Translate, the essential idea is that Kingdom Come: Deliverance is successful, perhaps more than expected

Now, the publisher and developer have offered a look at what appears to be even more content coming to the game with a skin presumably inspired by the action film character, John Wick, as well as a new pistol for players to wield. Epic Games took to the official Fortnite Battle Royale subreddit today and provided a simple teaser in the form of the above image with the caption “SOON!” used as the post’s title. However, many agreed that the character in the picture looked more like John Wick, with

Bandai Namco has just released the first 15 minutes of Ni No Kuni 2: Revenant Kingdom for those who simply can’t wait to see the beginning of the game. While a warning for spoilers is standard for previews of this type, the opening scenes of Ni No Kuni 2: Revenant Kingdom don’t reveal too much that hasn’t already been seen in earlier trailers. After a very brief prologue, that sets the stage and hints at events to come, Ni No Kuni 2 begins right in the middle of a coup. Through Roland, the game

Just yesterday, a purported leak of images containing the supposed Generation 8 starters for the forthcoming Pokemon game on Nintendo Switch made the rounds online, with many debating the legitimacy of the concept art. As seen in the Facebook post below from the user known as “50 Shades of Helioisk,” the creator of the aforementioned “leaks” of the starters for the Nintendo Switch’s upcoming Pokemon game apologizes to those who thought the lemur-like Grass-Type, platypus-esque Water-Type, and th

The popularity of the Pokemon brand combined with some serious nostalgia and an app-addicted culture was the perfect recipe for the mobile AR game’s success. Even after being aware of its popularity, looking back on the data from the first year is still shockingly impressive. One scientific research study lays out how the Pokemon GO community managed to collect more data about the in-game creatures in six days than naturalists have been able to collect about our actual planet’s animals in 400 ye

Since its announcement, Metal Gear Survive has been the subject of sharp criticism from Metal Gear Solid fans for a wide range of reasons. One reason why Metal Gear Survive has been criticized is due to its heavy use of microtransactions, with some costing as much as $50 at launch. To make a new character (and effectively a new game save) in Metal Gear Survive, players either have to delete their existing avatar or pay 1,000 SV coins. Fans have been criticizing Metal Gear Survive well before its

Not too long ago, V-Jump magazine in Japan revealed the first two DLC characters coming to Arc System Works and Bandai Namco Entertainment’s fighting game, Dragon Ball FighterZ, by confirming that Broly and Bardock would be added to the title. About a month ago, a datamine of the PC version of Dragon Ball FighterZ pointed to possible DLC characters coming to the fighting game, with Broly and Bardock being the first two add-on fighters mentioned. Naturally, not every character from the Dragon Bal
