On top of that, the trophies/achievements reveal that Destiny 2 will be adding a Prestige Difficulty to both the raid and Nightfall Strikes. Most assume that Prestige will replace the Heroic difficulty for the raid, but Nightfall Strikes have thus far only had one difficulty tier. We do know that Nightfall Strikes will be changing somewhat for Destiny 2, so the Prestige Difficulty could be where we so those new twists. Earlier this week, players found out that Nightfall Strikes would feature a t

Amazon has sent out a wave of emails informing SNES Classic pre-order holders that their shipments may be delayed beyond launch. To reiterate, Amazon pre-order holders don’t need to panic; SNES Classic orders are not being canceled. Outside of the first stock selling out, Amazon’s SNES Classic pre-order issues don’t end here, however. As should be expected these days, the issues with Amazon’s SNES Classic pre-orders don’t end there. Hopefully the changes to SNES Classic pre-orders don’t affect a

Pokemon GO is a location-based game, which means that the experience can be very different depending on whether you’re living in the city, or in a more rural area. This week, one Pokemon GO player who lived in a rural area shared their experiences of venturing into the city on the game’s subreddit. However, one area where NianticGeorge disagreed with the trainer was in their assertion that the studio “doesn’t care” about rural players. The team member reiterated that Niantic is aware of rural pl

Microsoft proudly announced this morning that the Xbox One X has the fastest selling pre-orders out of all Xbox consoles yet. YOU made Xbox One X the fastest-selling pre-order in Xbox history.

As explained during a recent interview with Game Rant, Assassin’s Creed Origins‘ director Ashraf Ismail touched on how the extra year off for the series was able to help make people excited for the franchise once again. “This is definitely – in terms of content – the biggest world we’ve ever built. Of course, while Assassin’s Creed Origins‘ game world is the most sizable environment in the franchise’s history and will have plenty to do, the caliber and enjoyable nature of the quests and missions

With South Park: The Fractured But Whole‘s release date not too far off, Ubisoft has decided to pull back the curtain a little bit farther on the development of the forthcoming role-playing game so as to further edify fans about the title’s contents. As it so happens, the publisher and developer decided to release a new gameplay walkthrough during the week of gamescom 2017 that offers up looks at looting, crafting, and environmental puzzles. As seen in the gameplay walkthrough trailer below for

to come out of Nintendo in recent memory, Splatoon 2 was clearly going to be a hit upon its release earlier this year. It appears that this passion has carried over to the Switch-only sequel as well, as the title has officially cleared over one million units sold in Japan alone. Regardless, both reports exclude digital sales which are likely to have pushed the Switch game well over the one million mark in Japan. While a current accounting of Splatoon 2‘s sales worldwide are currently unknown, se

It turns out that Vah Ruta isn’t the only elephant to be found when it comes to The Legend of Zelda. It just so happens that House Republicans have taken an interest in the beloved Nintendo franchise, after the House GOP made a reference to The Legend of Zelda in a blog post about tax reform. In the post, entitled ‘What Do The Legend of Zelda and the American Tax Code Have In Common?’, the Republican Party compared the release date of the original The Legend of Zelda to American tax code reform.

From motion capture resumes (that turned out to be fake) to the various rumors on location settings (such as Tokyo), fans have been trying to glean information about a potential Grand Theft Auto 6 from any source. Now, the latest to offer up a tidbit is none other than the voice actor of Trevor from Grand Theft Auto 5, Steven Ogg. Having said that, fans should not expect a Grand Theft Auto 6 any time soon either as the company is still focused on supporting Grand Theft Auto 5 and Grand Theft Aut

For the past ten years, Half-Life fans have been left wondering where the series would have headed after the conclusion of Episode 2. Laidlaw has long since retired from Valve, but having served as a key part of the development team for both Half-Life and its sequel, it’s reasonable to expect that he worked on Half-Life 3. The text changes most of the names of the people, places, and organizations involved — but Half-Life fans should be able to decipher what Laidlaw is talking about. It’s really

Square Enix has decided to listen to the hopeful cries of aging fans everywhere, and remade the beloved action JRPG Secret of Mana. Typically a luxury only bestowed on the company’s Final Fantasy series, Secret of Mana is getting the full treatment.

Secret of Mana will release for PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, and STEAM on February 15

At some point, Destiny 1 players are simply going to give up on completing their exotic armor and weapon collection and move on to the next game. In the mean time, Xur has returned to Destiny for the weekend to offer players a selection of exotic armor and an exotic weapon to purchase. Exotic Armor and WeaponXur’s exotic armor selection this week includes The Taikonaut helmet for Titans, the Shinobu’s Vow gauntlets for Hunters, and The Ram helmet for Warlocks.

Now, Nintendo of America has stepped forward to officially announce that entries from both Batman: The Telltale Series and Guardians of the Galaxy: The Telltale Series will be coming to the Switch. Unfortunately, though, the announcement also lacked an exact time frame as to when fans should expect these and other Telltale titles to come to the Big N’s latest system. pic.twitter.com/4TncanjMgf — Nintendo of America (@NintendoAmerica) August 24, 2017For those unaware, speculation regarding Tellta

Friday the 13th: The Game was widely praised as a unique, engrossing multiplayer experience when it was released earlier this year. A post on the official Friday the 13th: The Game community forum states that the title won’t be switching to a host migration system, despite widespread requests for that to happen. Furthermore, it’s been decided that host migration might not be a particularly good fix for this particular game, despite it being implemented successfully on other titles. “The potentia

The Taken King subclasses appear to be returning in Destiny 2, based on new evidence discovered with the lifting of this morning’s European Dead Zone hands-on embargo. Speculation about the Taken King subclasses returning in Destiny 2 this morning started with the discovery of some mysterious loot. Today’s new information gives additional credence to that Sunbreaker leak and completes The Taken King subclass trio. Finally, it should be noted that while the leaks are very heavily indicative of De

Rainbow Six Siege kept gamers waiting for a long time, as Operation Health replaced the game’s most recent season. But the time for the next batch of operators is finally here, with the new patch going live on August 29. In the lead up to this patch, Ubisoft has started to show off the content that’s coming, including one of it’s new operators Ying. The video shows one of Ying’s weapons, but a profile on Ubisoft’s website says she has a SIX12 and T-95 LSW as her primary weapons, and a Q-929 pist

Several months ago, the video game developer Rockstar Games brought an incredibly sizable expansion to Grand Theft Auto Online – that is, the multiplayer component to GTA 5 – by adding its Gunrunning update to the game. Now the studio is prepared to bring even more assets to the title by introducing its Smuggler’s Run update by way of a brand new trailer, with the content set to become available on August 29, 2017. Grand Theft Auto Online‘s Smuggler’s Run update will offer up a slew of new, cust

It may not be all hard wires and physical configuration for the Xbox One X. Recent reports indicate that Microsoft is considering using cloud storage to consolidate large game files for the upcoming console. This so-called smart distribution will essentially reduce the footprint a game has on a users’ storage space. It doesn’t seem likely, though, since Xbox One X pre-orders have already begun. By the sounds of it, it seems like cloud storage is in the cards for Microsoft’s future, and may even

As seen below in the latest trailer for Metroid: Samus Returns, in addition to the game’s new melee counter, some of the most major additions to the title are the Aeion abilities – that is, four unique powers fueled by a special energy bar. When it comes to Metroid: Samus Returns‘ Lightning Armor, the Aeion ability acts as a defensive mechanism in players’ suits, making Samus temporarily invulnerable to attacks, while also allowing her to pass through various hazards. Furthermore, Metroid: Samus

Despite The Last of Us: Part 2 being announced during PlayStation Experience 2016 last year, Naughty Dog has revealed very little about its hotly anticipated game. But one major new detail about The Last of Us: Part 2 may have just been confirmed by some Naughty Dog job listings. On Twitter, the game’s co-lead designer Anthony Newman posted a list of open job positions at the developer, including game designers for multiplayer systems and multiplayer layout. As The Last of Us: Part 2 still doesn
