However, it appears that catching the new trio of Suicune, Entei, and Raikou will be even tougher this time around. At the time Lugia and Articuno were introduced, these Pokemon also came with an extremely low 2% base catch rate as well. Considering it was available through the entire month, Lugia did not see the same base capture rate increase, maintaining its low 2%. Part of the reason Niantic is sticking to the lower rate is that Suicune, Entei, and Raikou will be available for a longer perio

It may not be the final appearance of Xur in Destiny 1, but for all intents and purposes it is the last one most players will care about. Destiny 2 launches next Wednesday and with it will come new weekly rituals and a new version of Xur. Still, it’s worth reporting on Xur if only to make sure that his “final appearance” is documented for the Destiny fan base. Xur’s exotic armor inventory this weekend includes the Ruin Wings gauntlets for Titans, the Shinobu’s Vow gauntlets for Hunters, and the

The release of Destiny 2 for consoles is just days away, so Bungie is preparing Guardians for what’s to come. This includes revealing the date for the game’s first raid, which will go live on September 13th at 10am PT. There will likely be plenty of debate over the release date for the Destiny 2 raid, which may be titled Leviathan, since getting ready for such an endgame experience typically requires quite a grind. The stream will be part of a new event launched by Microsoft’s Xbox division call

PlayStation 4 owners were able to battle it out on the battlefields of Call of Duty: WW2‘s private multiplayer beta last weekend, and now Xbox One owners can join in on the action as well. Any Xbox One owners that have Call of Duty: WW2 pre-ordered and have received a beta code simply need to download it to get started. What’s surprising about this is that, much like the PS4 beta, the private beta has gone live on Xbox One a day earlier than originally announced. Over the next few days, it’s pos

An all new trailer from Middle-earth: Shadow of War was released today by Warner Bros. Interactive showing off how the updated Nemesis System creates more compelling orcs. That’s not just orc enemies, however, which Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor players are familiar with; Middle-earth: Shadow of War‘s new orc followers add an extra layer of fun to the Nemesis System. For the most part, Warner Bros. Interactive hasn’t clarified exactly what specific changes have been made to the Nemesis System i

The Friday the 13th dev team is taking a page from their own game and preparing to go on a killing spree.

But that’s exactly what video game developer Obsidian Entertainment did: it turned down a chance at making a Game of Thrones title. In retrospect, the “only thing” Obsidian could have done with the Game of Thrones game is something akin to what BioWare created in Knights of the Old Republic: make the title a prequel that exists far outside the core narrative. It’s doubly intriguing to note that this isn’t the first developer that’s been linked to a potential Game of Thrones title this week, as i

A bizarre graphics glitch has been discovered in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild that removes the cartoon shader effects applied to Link’s character. To experiment with the glitch, boot up Breath of the Wild and head to the north gate at the end of the Bridge of Hylia. In other Breath of the Wild news, the game has just received a dedicated section on the Nintendo Switch news channel. The game’s fist DLC pack, The Master Trials, released a couple months ago. Zelda: Breath of the Wild is

Since Pokemon GO released its newest raiding feature, allowing players to catch powerful Pokemon and legendary creatures alike, one of the biggest complaints that have been made to developer Niantic regarded an extremely frustrating bug that prevented the last Premier Ball in a player’s arsenal from being as effective as players would have liked. In the latest patch notes for the popular AR game, Niantic revealed that it has finally fixed the bug that stopped the last ball from being able to cap

Sony shocked the crowd at E3 2016 by not only revealing a new God of War title, but confirming how much different the experience looked from past games. Through the campaign, players are able to shape the young Atreus through various choices which director Cory Barlog likens to being a parent. During the course of the God of War campaign, players will be faced with various decisions which ultimately dictate the direction of both Atreus and Kratos. “This is not God of War, this is going to fall f

Today, the company announced that it would be changing the name from Exclusive Raid Battles to EX Raid Battles and that a ” field-testing phase at select Gyms before the feature is made available globally.”EX Raid Battle passes will be sent out “soon” and testing could begin as early September 6.

Today is the last day that Pokemon GO players can catch the legendary Pokemon Lugia, Moltres, Articuno, and Zapdos. Niantic has announced that starting August 31, Pokemon GO will introduce the legendary Pokemon Raikou, Entei, and Suicune. Electric-type legendary Raikou will be available in the Americas, Fire-type legendary Entei will be available in Europe and Africa, while Water-type legendary Suicune will be available in the Asia-Pacific region. Raikou, Entei and Suicune were not expected to b

Recently, there’s been a lot of interest amongst gamers in Nintendo’s long discontinued SNES console, and this is (rather unsurprisingly) a direct result of the Big N’s decision to resurrect the platform in the form of the SNES Classic. One of the titles present on the aforementioned, miniature platform is none other than Street Fighter 2 Turbo: Hyper Fighting, which many agree is one of the better versions of that particular fight title. Even then, it turns out that Street Fighter 2 fans that s

Gone are the days of wasting a Raid Pass only to find out that no nearby players are involved, and thus losing the Raid and the Pass. Prior to the update, a Pokemon GO Raid never surfaced any information regarding how many Trainers were involved. The only way to know if anyone else was attempting to tackle a Raid boss was to look around or to submit a Raid Pass. Unfortunately, if the Raid Boss was one of the Legendary Pokemon then anything less than a few players would make the battle impossible

Pokemon GO players who use the official GO Plus accessory have been a bit frustrated since the big Gym update that the device isn’t able to collect items from those locations the same way it can from Pokestops. This Pokemon GO fix comes as a bit of a surprise after Nintendo recently explained that the company wasn’t aware of any plans to update the GO Plus feature list at all. Niantic also managed to correct the last premier ball bug, which has been plaguing Battle Raid players for over a month.

According to a report from Kotaku, the first DLC expansion for Destiny 2 will be called The Curse of Osiris. Mercury and The LighthouseAs far as content is concerned, The Curse of Osiris is reported to include a new patrol area on the planet Mercury. It will also unlock Destiny 1’s Lighthouse as a social space, presumably with new vendors and quest givers. Destiny 1‘s first DLC introduced Crota’s End, but that raid is considered the least popular among the community. Players had long suspected t

Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is now available on PlayStation 4, and brings with it plenty of new challenges for Uncharted enthusiasts to overcome. Finding all of the photo opportunities in Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is a matter of knowing where to look. Chapter 2There are no photo opportunities in the first chapter of Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, but the second chapter has one right at the start.

Pokemon GO players have been hunting Legendary creatures for about a month now and the first major Legendary rotation is about to hit. The press release gave a high level description of how Exclusive Raids will work, but there are still lots of details that are unclear. One thing that the press release did make clear is that Zapdos, Articuno, and Moltres will stop appearing in level five Battle Raids after August 31. Here is the statement that Niantic released about the limited time Legendary ev

Setting aside the official monicker, Nintendo also confirmed that fans can expect to see the game arrive as a Nintendo Switch exclusive at some point in 2018. According to Nintendo, No More Heroes: Travis Strikes Back will take place across worlds from six different indie games. All in all, it sounds like a fitting return for Travis Touchdown that should work out well for the indie studios involved and Switch owners alike. Plus, with Suda51 directing No More Heroes: Travis Strikes Again, it’s su
