With Halloween just around the corner, the teams at Gun Media and Illfonic have been ramping up content output and patch fixes to celebrate the spooky game. Today, being Friday the 13th, things just got even more exciting for Friday the 13th: The Game, as Gun Media has announced a double XP weekend for the title. Gun Media confirmed that the extra-special event will run all the way through Monday, October 16 at 11 AM EDT. News of the double XP weekend follows closely behind a recent update for F

Ever since the King’s Fall raid in The Taken King expansion of Destiny 1, fans have come to expect Challenge Modes in the game’s raids. While most Destiny 2 players already figured that Challenge Modes would be coming to the Leviathan raid – raid-specific emblems were spotted in the game’s database – this is the first time Bungie has acknowledged their existence. Furthermore, it appears that Challenge Modes could even make their debut very soon. Bungie teased that Leviathan’s Challenge Modes wil

One of the biggest controversies in recent gaming history focuses on the loot boxes that are becoming more and more prevalent in full-price AAA titles. In an effort to explain why loot boxes are involved in the Star Wars: Battlefront 2 experience, a recent blog post on the EA website attempts to justify the reasoning behind the new system. Nobody will be able to simply purchase loot boxes and obtain the most powerful items quite so simply. On the other hand, earnable loot boxes that simply conta

Xur is back to offer more exotic items, some of which may give players an edge during the monthly PvP event. This week, Destiny 2 players can find Xur on Nessus, in the Arcadian Valley of Watcher’s Grave. Regular Xur patrons will remember this as the first spot he set up shop in Destiny 2, high atop a tree. Xur Exotic Armor ChoicesXur’s exotic armor selection this weekend includes the Knucklehead Radar helmet for Hunters, the Peacekeepers boots for Titans, and the Wings of the Sacred Dawn chest

Online video game piracy groups continue to gain ground on modern anti-piracy DRM, as Middle-earth: Shadow of War appears to have been cracked less than 24-hours after its launch on PC. The Denuvo DRM that publishers have been using with high effectiveness for several years appears to have been solved by piracy groups, with Middle-earth: Shadow of War being just the latest example. No response has yet been issued by either Denuvo or Warner Bros. regarding Middle-earth: Shadow of War‘s DRM being

About a week ago, Guerrilla Games officially announced the forthcoming release of Horizon: Zero Dawn‘s Complete Edition, which will not only contain the open world action-adventure’s base game, but also its DLC known as The Frozen Wilds. As seen below in Horizon: Zero Dawn‘s Environment trailer for The Frozen Wilds DLC, although the footage is quite brief, fans can get a look at the expansion’s area called the Cut, which is a forested area set to the north of the Banuk homelands. Those looking f

About a couple of weeks ago, TT Games and Warner Bros. Interactive announced the inclusion of the Inhumans with a trailer detailing their role in the forthcoming action-adventure game LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2. As seen below in the story trailer for LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2, the footage focuses on the canine, Cosmo the Spacedog – a telepathic Soviet cosmonaut, Knowhere’s chief of security, and the Guardians of the Galaxy’s ally – who is tasked with assembling a team of the best super heroes t

As it turns out, Xbox head Phil Spencer is one of those many fans of the game, and has been working tirelessly to up his ranking and snag his favorite in-game weapon. Beyond his focus on upping his in-game status, Spencer has his eyes locked in on one well-loved Destiny 2 weapon: the Mida Multi-Tool. Spencer revealed that he really enjoyed using the weapon in the original Destiny, and is looking to pick it up again in the sequel. The Mida Multi-Tool is an Exotic Scout Rifle that comes bundled wi

Pokemon GO players are well-experienced when it comes to capturing their best moments in the game. Pokemon GO developer Niantic knows this, too, and today, the company announced an official photo contest that gives players the chance to get their hands on a collection of prizes. The example offered by Niantic shows a lone Pokemon standing on a fence in front of a beautiful scenic background, though presumably, images with multiple Pokemon are eligible, too. Those lucky 10 will bag themselves a P

Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon follow in the footsteps of other enhanced versions like Pokemon Yellow and Pokemon Emerald by introducing more content and features on top of the original base package. The new trailer for Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon focuses on the two new forms of Necrozma and its powerful new Z-moves. In Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, players can befriend Rotom Dex in order to unlock more features such as Roto Loto. Pokemon Ultra Sun and Moon is shaping up to be much mo

Just recently, the publisher Gun Media and developer IllFonic revealed intentions to unban some cheaters and exploiters in the next patch for the asymmetrical multiplayer survival-horror release Friday the 13th: The Game. After all, tomorrow is actually Friday the 13th, which would be a great time to introduce a glut of free DLC to the community. IllFonic has already confirmed that a new Camp Counselor named Mitch Floyd will be joining the roster then, and Fox would make a great addition and ant

As if it needed to be said, the video game publisher and developer Nintendo’s forthcoming platform title Super Mario Odyssey for the Switch is easily one of the most highly anticipated games of holiday 2017. Now, fans’ excitement for the Big N mascot’s latest adventure is likely to grow exponentially due to the game having already received its first perfect score review well ahead of its launch later this month. As seen in the image below shared by “JPickford,” a member of rllmukforum.com’s mess

Friday the 13th: The Game developer IllFonic previously took steps to deal with people who improperly play the game, including a patch to curb team killing. But the latest update on the horror game has fans saying that IllFonic is actually aiding Friday the 13th players who cheat. “Repeat offenders will be permabanned,” he says, but the argument is that Friday the 13th players who used these exploits shouldn’t be given a second chance to do it again. New players are unlikely to stick around for

Destiny 2‘s Iron Banner PvP mode offers players some sweet loot for taking part. In addition to a variety of weapons, players can also receive some Iron Banner armor that has a Samurai theme, but given how stingy engrams in the can be, exactly how long will it take for players to get the full armor set? Earning 41 reward packages is equivalent to about 164 Iron Banner wins, or 410 losses, while 30 reward packages amount to around 120 wins or 300 losses. Fewer matches will be required if players

One of Microsoft’s big initiatives this generation is giving players freedom of choice as to how and where they play its games. The next step for the company was cross-play, linking fans through multiplayer games regardless of the platform they were on. While PC and Xbox users have been enjoying this feature, it seems Sony is still not willing to budge on the matter. Speaking at the Brazil Game Show, Xbox Head, Phil Spencer admitted that Microsoft continues to speak with Sony regarding the matte

James Burns, who plays Sgt. Frank Woods in the Black Ops franchise, recently posted on his official Twitter, claiming that he will tell fans what he knows very soon. What’s interesting is that the Black Ops series shifted to futuristic warfare in its third iteration, making it a big jump forward in time from the return to the Second World War. It’s entirely possible however, that Black Ops 4 won’t stick to the series’ timeline and may not take place where Frank Wood’s epilogue left off in 2025.

In addition to improved graphics, a new first-person mode, and support for up to 8K resolutions, it seems that the definitive version of Final Fantasy 15 is actually far easier to develop than its console counterpart. According to Hajime Tabata, Director of the upcoming game, creating a Final Fantasy experience on PC is “more than 100 times” easier than initial development was when the game had to be made from scratch. Not only does it finally allow PC players to access the award-winning title,

However, according to analyst firm Cowen & Company, Activision Blizzard’s stock price may drop a bit in 2018, even with the possibility of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 releasing next fall. As for whether or not Cowen & Company is correct about its Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 prediction, that’s hard to say at this point. If Black Ops 4 does exist, one has to wonder if the game will have a futuristic setting like Black Ops 3, or if it will have a historical one. It’s also possible that Black Ops 4 will

With this being the case, it’s safe to presume that plenty of players have encountered an incredibly annoying bug that has caused crashes while loading into the Tower social space, but thankfully, the latest update for the game seems to have rectified the issue. Earlier this morning at roughly 11:00 AM ET, Bungie officially announced that it had addressed the problem involving Tower crashes during a period of network maintenance for Destiny 2 that did not require server downtime. Players may nee

Several days ago, Epic Games confirmed that it banned “thousands” of cheaters in Fortnite‘s Battle Royale game mode, and that it has plans to roll out even more anti-cheat tools in the future. Despite the rampant use of exploits by some of the user base’s morally dubious fans, the popular free-to-play mode continues to grow, as the developer has now announced that Battle Royale has surpassed more than 10 million players in just two weeks’ time. For starters, 44.9 million cumulative hours have be
