Since the Nintendo Switch launched earlier this year, the console has been nigh on impossible to find. According to a new report out of China that cites “sources from the upstream supply chain,” the Big N has now increased Nintendo Switch production to two million units a month. As a result of increasing demand for the console, Nintendo is now expected to produce 20 million Switch units in this year altogether. The sources claim that production of the Nintendo Switch may increase even further in

Several months ago, the video game developer Psyonix included The Fate of the Furious DLC for Rocket League that included the character Dominic Toretto’s Dodge Ice Charger from the aforementioned movie. As seen below in Rocket League‘s trailer for its Fast & Furious DLC, both of the new cars are going to be based on vehicles from the early days of the action movie series. For those wondering what kind of details these vehicles will boast in Rocket League, both come with a new set of wheels and s

Bungie has officially confirmed that a prestige version of the Leviathan raid will arrive in Destiny 2 next week. The new lore details are scattered across the class items of the prestige raid loot. Meanwhile, the Hunter gear explains that the Destiny 2 antagonist was a “masterful conspirator”, dedicated to his plan to overthrow Emperor Calus. But this prestige raid loot highlights how Calus’ mindset has changed and it shows just how deeply he cared for Ghaul. But arguably, the loot lore helps t

Fortnite‘s Battle Royale mode released in full last week and players have been enjoying the 100-person player versus player gameplay. In an update on the game’s website, Epic confirms that it has banned “thousands” of Fortnite Battle Royale cheaters and it has “no plans to stop” waving the banhammer either. Epic also states that it is “exploring every measure to ensure these cheaters are removed and stay removed from Fortnite Battle Royale and the Epic ecosystem”. The flood of cheaters is likely

When Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor was released, many reviews compared the game to Assassin’s Creed. Monolith seems to be taking those accusations and comparisons in its stride though, fully embracing them with the sequel, Middle-earth Shadow of War. The game releases next week on PC and consoles and critics testing out the game have already discovered an Assassin’s Creed Easter egg. Although fans will welcome the improved game world and all of its secrets and hidden wonders, it’s unclear wheth

In the last couple of months, those PC players who have been emulating The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild have been running wild with mod content for the game. That’s right: this The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild mod does not allow players to check out Sega’s popular mascot, but instead his somewhat less famous cousin. This is far from the only time that a somewhat bizarre choice for a mod has appeared in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Nintendo purists would no doubt rest ea

It’s now been a month since the release of Bungie’s highly-anticipated Destiny 2 and the majority of players will be reaching the title’s endgame content. “My challenge to every Guardian is to look to the human element in Destiny 2 to fuel your appetite for ultimate re-playability. A post on the Destiny 2 Reddit forums gained a lot of traction recently, complaining about how it seemed that Bungie was saying that the multiplayer made up for the lack of endgame content. In the mean time, endgame p

This new Pokemon GO strategy allows players to defeat a group of Gym defenders in just 12 minutes, decaying the motivation from full to zero with no delay. To pull it off successfully, a team of five players must go into battle one, attacking the defender until it reaches its 2/9 threshold. At the single charge threshold, the attacker will stop and wait. Once the 2/9 threshold is reached, one member will again need to stay behind until a single charge mode is needed. The original poster of the m

It’s the weekend, which means that Xur has returned for Destiny 2 players to spend their Legendary Shards on exotic items. Xur’s Exotic ArmorXur’s exotic armor selection this week includes the Foetracer Helmet for Hunters, the Insurmountable Skullfort Helmet for Titans, and the Nezarec’s Sin helmet for Warlocks. The Hunter helmet is the first duplicate exotic armor piece of Destiny 2 thus far, but our recommendation still stands. So, essentially, getting a kill with an arc melee kill never waste

A few months removed from the Cuphead episode with Kate Upton, Conan O’Brien’s Clueless Gamer segment is back. In the new Middle-earth: Shadow of War Clueless Gamer segment, fans have a chance to see Nanjiani’s gaming skills as he slays hordes of enemies. After this encounter, Conan takes the opportunity to mock Nanjiani’s voice work, which doesn’t seem to have been altered much in the studio. If Nanjiani’s voice work in Middle-earth: Shadow of War is well-received, it could lead to even more vi

One of the most popular recurring events from the first Destiny game was the Iron Banner, which will soon make its Destiny 2 debut. In Destiny 2‘s first version of the Iron Banner, two teams of four will compete against each other in the Control match type. As it turns out, participating in Destiny 2‘s Iron Banner requires that players complete the story campaign missions first. With this being Destiny 2‘s first Iron Banner event, it’s possible the event will change in the future. In the meantim

The clock is down to almost a month before Microsoft’s Xbox One X console is due to release worldwide, and with each passing day more information about the world’s most powerful console comes to light. Stamped right on one of the circuit boards in every Xbox One X ever produced is a little Master Chief, and he’s riding a scorpion. Analysts predict that the hard-hitting Xbox One X will outsell the PS4 Pro, a product which had a decent head start on its competition. Whatever happens, Mini Master C

During this week’s Bungie Update, the Destiny 2 developer finally announced a release date for the Prestige Difficulty version of the Leviathan Raid. While most expected that Bungie would announce a release date for the Prestige Raid today, few thought that date would be so soon. In addition to announcing a release date for the Prestige Raid, Bungie also offered a few details about the endgame encounter. The developer does say that there will be mechanical differences in the raid on Prestige, bu

Game Rant was in attendance for a recent Middle-earth: Shadow of War press event in Toronto, Canada, where we were provided with the opportunity to speak with the community manager for the forthcoming title, Andy Salisbury. During the brief interview, the topic of a possible port of the game for Nintendo Switch came up, and some interesting tidbits emerged in regards to the current focus of the studio. Plus, given the positive reviews Middle-earth: Shadow of War has been receiving so far, it’s c

Now, the co-founder of Obsidian Entertainment has been making waves by potentially teasing that a new Fallout game could be on the way. Of course, Avellone could simply be working on a project that’s related to the franchise outside of the video game medium, as he’s previously written a comic book in the Fallout: New Vegas universe entitled All Roads. Bearing all of this in mind, while the notion of a new Fallout game with Chris Avellone in the mix is an incredibly exciting notion, there’s not m

Without a doubt, FIFA 18 was generally considered to be a highly anticipated release for those who enjoy The Beautiful Game, and for avid gamers of sports simulation titles as well, with the latest entry in EA Sports’ franchise having had quite the successful launch weekend.

Of course, while sales numbers for the FIFA franchise are typically impressiv

The Call of Duty: WW2 open beta has been hit with hackers, as many players testing out the game ahead of release say that it is plagued with cheaters. The cheating is totally ruining their fun, say affected testers, who have called on developer Sledgehammer Games to do something about it. Sledgehammer could use Call of Duty: WW2 to get back into PC fans’ good books. Call of Duty: WW2 releases November 3, 2017 for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Source: Sledgehammer Games

With this being the case, some have been wondering when or if the developers at Studio MDHR plan on putting out a physical release for the game. Interestingly enough, the company has already teased that tangible copies of the title are on the horizon. As seen in the tweet below between Studio MDHR and a fan on Twitter, Cuphead fans looking forward to a physical release of the title should rejoice, as the developer hinted at future plans to “eventually” put out a palpable product in the form of a

One of the biggest criticisms surrounding Street Fighter 5 at launch was its lack of content.
