The Destiny 2 Faction Rally event allows players to pledge their loyalty to a particular group, earn some tokens, and bag themselves some new loot. Bungie has already held one Faction Rally but when the second one begins it will offer some big changes to the way things work. The game’s senior designer Tim Williams explains that for this second Faction Rally event the development team has made big changes to the token rewards. Previously, it was only the player that destroyed the supply drop who

According to the video, there once was a giant stonemason named Thamur who was engaged in a bitter dispute with Thor, the God of Thunder. And since Thor is clearly an antagonist in Kratos’ world, it stands to reason that the two men could come to blows in an epic boss battle. A popular theory about Kratos’ son Atreus is that the boy’s mother is Sif, who was famously betrothed to Thor. Santa Monica Studios says that God of War fans have only seen a “sliver” of the game so far, also teasing that i

On May 2nd, 2011, Osama bin Laden was killed by a United States military special operations unit at his compound in Pakistan. Yesterday, the CIA released 470,000 of these files to the public, which may reveal that Osama bin Laden was a gamer. Speaking of Naruto, it appears as though bin Laden enjoyed anime in general, with pirated Dragon Ball and Bleach games also found on his hard drive. While it’s certainly possible Osama bin Laden himself played the pirated games found on his hard drive and w

According to the newly discovered data, the models for legendary Pokemon Ho-Oh and Celebi are now available on Niantic’s servers. Moreover, this isn’t even the first indication that shiny legendary Pokemon could be made available in Pokemon GO. At this point, it’s unclear exactly how or when Niantic might make these shiny legendary Pokemon available. Niantic ushered in Gen 3 Pokemon (including shiny Sableye and other Gen 3 shinies) using the Halloween event. Likewise, legendary Pokemon were firs

Star Wars Battlefront 2 isn’t even out on store shelves yet, but it appears that EA is already planning on slashing the retail price. During its second-quarter earnings call with investors, EA CFO Blake Jorgensen responded to a question asking if the company has plans to take advantage of the big sale seasons like Black Friday considering how close Star Wars Battlefront 2’s release date is. Instead, the company is looking at lowering the price a few weeks later to coincide with the release of St

EA Access, a game subscription service that gives players access to a library of games for a monthly fee, is currently available on Xbox One and PC (as Origin Access). Players on Microsoft-owned platforms have enjoyed EA Access for over three years, but those on other systems could be about to gain access too. When EA Access was first revealed, PS4 platform holder Sony criticized the program, saying that it isn’t good value for money. Additionally, EA Access subscribers often get early access to

The latest update has begun to roll out for Niantic’s Pokemon Go and while it doesn’t contain any fancy new features, the latest installation promises to fix a range of bugs that players have noticed in the game.

Given that the Fallout-themed project has surpassed over 100 million downloads in total earlier this year, the market looks to be ready for a new Bethesda mobile game and it might not be long before one appears. The job description indicates that Bethesda could be turning one or more of its more iconic series into mobile games, and we could even see the next iteration of The Elder Scrolls franchise coming to the platform. The position for a Mobile Designer will work to create “innovative cross-p

This past Monday, Sony showcased an exciting press conference to kick off Paris Games Week that was full of new footage of its hottest upcoming PlayStation 4 games. As one might expect, the new trailer has sparked some controversy, with some people feeling as though the game is being sold purely on its violent content. Ryan also pointed out that Sony didn’t just show violent games during its Paris Games Week press conference. While Ryan had to defend The Last of Us Part 2‘s trailer for its viole

When Call of Duty: WW2 releases later this month it will feature loot boxes called supply drops. Footage of the game’s public loot box openings has now leaked, showing exactly how the new mechanic works. Unsurprisingly, Call of Duty: WW2‘s public loot box openings have been met with some backlash from fans. Watching someone open a loot box and get some high-value cards will influence and encourage others into paying for loot boxes themselves. At this point, it’s unclear how much the public loot

While Star Wars Battlefront was a solid first entry in the long-running series for DICE, the experience wasn’t perfect. Although the game is still seventeen days away from store shelves, EA has released the official launch trailer for Star Wars Battlefront 2. The short trailer places its focus squarely on the multiplayer side of Star Wars Battlefront 2, giving fans a brief look at numerous new locations within the game. Unfortunately, the trailer doesn’t go as far as showing off any new heroes i

Netflix hit Stranger Things has already inspired game developers a great deal, with Minecraft recently adding a Stranger Things skin pack. Turtle Rock Studios, the developer behind Left 4 Dead and Evolve, has announced that it has worked with Oculus and Netflix to design some Stranger Things content for its VR game Face Your Fears. Given the sheer creepiness of Stranger Things, VR game DLC is likely a good fit. Face Your Fears is already based on making players face their phobias, and the Demogo

The Nintendo Switch has already proven that it will be the console that catalyzes a Nintendo resurgence in the video game industry—now, analysts and competitors are waiting to see just what that means for the Japanese gaming giant. According to a financial report released by Nintendo Japan earlier this week, the Switch is now set to surpass the Wii U in total sales by 2018. According to Nintendo, the Switch has sold just over 7.5 million units thus far in its life cycle, while the Wii U sold jus

Since launch, Behaviour Interactive’s asymmetric multiplayer horror game Dead by Daylight has seen the debut of three iconic horror movie villains, with the likes of Halloween‘s Michael Myers, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre‘s Leatherface, and most recently, A Nightmare on Elm Street‘s Freddy Krueger joining the fray. Alternatively, Ghostface could have a special ability that clones himself for a limited period of time to create the illusion that there are two Ghostface killers running around the ma

The company presented a new trailer for God of War, highlighting the game’s combat and how Kratos and his son Atreus interact in battle. Fans were impressed by the gameplay clip, but developer Sony Santa Monica says that it is just a “sliver” of what’s to come. The encounter with the World Serpent from the game’s E3 2017 trailer was unexpected, but fans will be glad to know that God of War has lots more in store. But in addition to the game’s combat system, there are plenty of other things that
