Players have already uncovered one Assassin’s Creed Easter egg in Middle-earth: Shadow of War, as the game’s enemies may refer to the stealth series in some voice lines. This latest Assassin’s Creed Easter egg can be found in the Middle-earth: Shadow of War trophies/achievements list. ‘Assassin’ is an enemy type in Middle-earth: Shadow of War and shaming an enemy is a perfectly normal thing to do. When Middle-earth: Shadow of War‘s predecessor Shadow of Mordor was released, there were many compa

The new story in Pokemon Ultra Sun & Moon has trainers leaving the tropical paradise for even more exotic locales. Reportedly, one of these new destinations is a world inhabited by legendary Pokemon, where a certain genetically engineered Pokemon will be there to greet you. According to Siliconera, the latest issue of Famitsu contained an interview with Pokemon Ultra Sun & Moon producer Shigeru Ohmori and director Kazumasa Iwao.

Sony Music Entertainment has just launched a brand new video game label called Unties, and it’s aiming to streamline small independent game studios with the company’s large production channels. In fact, the label just announced its first game for the Nintendo Switch. Tiny Metal is a Japanese-created arcade game that takes heavy inspiration from the likes of Advance Wars. Tiny Metal started out as a Kickstarter project that didn’t initially include the Nintendo Switch, and ultimately failed to hi

Players who are looking to do this week’s Nightfall Strike are in for a tough time, particularly if they want to run it on Prestige difficulty. During the Nightfall Strike, there’s a section where players must pass through a series of blue light pulses that are scattered around the Nexus in order to progress. On a regular Destiny 2 Strike, this should pose no problem, but players are finding that the task isn’t so easy when the diffiulty is turned up. Just like we noted last week, there are stil

Assassin’s Creed: Origins may be the best example of Ubisoft’s dedication to world-building yet. Without diving into spoilers, there are also major events that take place over the narrative of Desert Oath that feel like necessary information for Assassin’s Creed: Origins. During hands-on gameplay of Assassin’s Creed: Origins, the relationship is handled deftly, equal parts endearing but independent. For fans of the series, or fantasy fans who like a bit of intrigue and violence, Assassin’s Creed

The latest leak surrounding the event is thanks to a prematurely posted image on the app store that seems to confirm yet another Pikachu variant is coming to the game, this time in the form of Witch Hat Pikachu. The image, posted by Reddit user Ausjam, shows a Witch Hat Pikachu joined by various ghost-type Pokemon. Secondly, the image also confirms previously leaked information about the Halloween event, specifically the addition of third generation Pokemon. In the same image with Witch Hat Pika

In The Evil Within, players were tasked with finding keys to open locker doors back at their safe house to earn helpful items. Finding all 32 locker keys in The Evil Within 2 is no easy task. The bulk of the locker keys are missable, so if players advance the story too far, they will have to restart the game completely to find them. It’s worth pointing out that earning the aforementioned achievements/trophies requires players do more than just find the locker keys. With all the locker keys found

As far as video guides go, we recommend the following by PS4Trophies, which will help players find all 40 files hidden in The Evil Within 2‘s game world. Besides files, this video guide will lead players to other collectibles as well, including all of the game’s mysterious objects and its 11 photographic slides. The first trophy comes after collecting 20 files, and it’s a Bronze-tier trophy called “Doing Some Detecting.” Once players find all 40 files, they will unlock the silver-tier trophy cal

Earlier today, Resident Evil 7 fans were given their most in-depth look at the game’s upcoming DLC expansions yet thanks to a new trailer. Along with this new trailer, Capcom also released a pair of screenshots that tease the fates of both Chris Redfield’s team as well as Zoe Baker. When it comes to Zoe Baker, it appears as though she has suffered a fate not unlike her family members after the events of Resident Evil 7. Joe’s dialogue insinuates that he is another member of the Baker family, tho

While that may be the case for the playable content of the title, one can surmise that many are pleased by its soundtrack – particularly the drummer Andrew Fleming, who has released a fantastic drum cover of the game’s “Battle Stations” song. According to the video’s description, Fleming wrote and performed the music, with Bayne recording and mixing the audio, while also filming and editing the video of the drummer tackling the Destiny 2 cover. For those unaware, this version of Destiny 2‘s “Bat

It has been 20 years since Age of Empires was first released on PC from Ensemble Studios. Today, Adam Isgreen, Microsoft Studios Creative Director for Age of Empires, announced that the Age of Empires: Definitive Edition has been delayed into 2018. Early 2018 is all Microsoft Studios is able to say at this time. As understandable as Microsoft Studios’ justification seems, it’s being received with frustration by the game’s community, especially since Age of Empires: Definitive Edition was being c

Now, the studio has officially made two of the DLC drops available today, with Content Drop #0 making its way to PlayStation 4 and Xbox, and Content Drop #1 coming to both consoles and PC. As seen in the Dying Light trailer below, Content Drop #1 is dubbed Lethal Inventions, and it adds three new weapons in the way of an engraved revolver, what appears to be some sort of a magical axe, a glowing dagger. Content Drop #1 makes its debut on PC today, following the release of Content Drop #0 for PC

From the franchise’s earliest days, fans have uncovered glitches such as the fabled Destiny Loot Cave, and attempting to find exploits that exist within Destiny 2‘s code has become a pastime for some Guardians. Now, just a day or so after its discovery, Destiny 2‘s newest exploit has been quietly removed by Bungie. The recent discovery of the Destiny 2 emote glitch centered around the “Bureaucratic Walk” emote, a tribute to Monty Python that saw players able to mimic the movements of the Ministr

Last month, Capcom announced the release of the long-awaited Not A Hero DLC expansion for Resident Evil 7, and that it would be joined by the new End of Zoe DLC. Please note that in order to discuss the DLC trailer, we have to venture into spoilers territory for the main game, so read on with caution. The bulk of the trailer explores the “Redfield” tape, which offers a glimpse as to what Chris Redfield is up to after the events of Resident Evil 7. Those that watch the trailer will also get a tea

With only a few weeks left before the Call of Duty: WW2 launch is finally here, new details and information has begun to roll in at a faster clip. But a new leak has revealed how Sledgehammer Games is tackling weapon customization, using weapon grips based on World War II era styles. Over on Reddit, a user uncovered Call of Duty: WW2 game files depicting weapon customization options known as Sweethearts. The images show World War II era imagery from weapon grip decorations to propaganda poster a

The debate surrounding loot boxes in games has grown substantially in recent weeks, with some players now arguing that loot boxes are another form of gambling. While American ratings board the ESRB disagrees that loot boxes are gambling, as do UK organizations PEGI and UKIE, gamers across the pond are continuing to battle for reclassification. If the UK government does decide to class loot boxes as gambling, it’s unclear what this might mean for gamers all over the world. Chinese law requires th

However, CD Projekt Red found itself in the center of the proverbial rumor mill after Cyberpunk 2077 lead level designer Mateusz Piaskiewicz, senior gameplay producer Derek Patterson, and project manager Ovidiu Traian Vasilescu all departed from the company within the last two months. After these departures, rumors began swirling that development of Cyberpunk 2077 itself had hit a rough patch in terms of employee morale, and gamers pointed to numerous negative Glass Door reviews of the company a

For many, Call of Duty: WW2 is the most anticipated game of the holiday season this year, with lots of gamers eager to jump into the first-person shooter. Now, Xbox One users have a better idea of how to prepare for the game’s launch on November 3, after the file size for the title was revealed.

It’s understandable why long-term fans of the Call of Duty franchise have been excited to see the relea

The success of South Park: The Stick of Truth was something to behold, with the game earning excellent reviews and a strong following of fans. Thankfully, South Park: The Fractured but Whole does more than just follow in the footsteps of the first game. If that all sounds too heavy for a South Park game, though, don’t worry. Indeed, The Fractured but Whole‘s view of South Park as a location seems a little bit different from where the show has been in recent seasons. South Park: The Fractured but
