Assassin’s Creed Origins is in a unique position for a modern Assassin’s Creed game. Assassin’s Creed Origins, by contrast, has enjoyed a lengthy break from the last main series release by Assassin’s Creed standards, with a full two years away from the spotlight passing before Origins releases later this year in November. According to Assassin’s Creed Origins director Ashraf Ismail during an interview with Game Rant, however, that break will not have been wasted – the changes in Assassin’s Creed

Speaking at the Nvidia conference at Gamescom in Cologne, Germany, Bungie’s community manager David Dague (also known as DeeJ) assured PC fans that Destiny 2 on PC has been developed from the beginning with them in mind:“We wanted to treat PC gamers like first class citizens since the first day of development. It’s built from the ground up to be amazing on state of the art hardware. It was unclear if all of those options will be available in the PC beta for Destiny 2 coming in late August, but t

Several weeks ago, an Amazon leak outed a Revolution Edition for DICE and Electronic Arts’ first-person shooter Battlefield 1, which detailed all of the contents of a “complete” version of the game. While the information was inadvertently shared ahead of time, the title’s publisher and developer have decided to make it official during gamescom 2017 by announcing the release of the Revolution Edition today. As seen in the video below, DICE and Electronic Arts have also put out a launch trailer to

One of the biggest reveals from the Xbox gamescom 2017 event was that Microsoft is partnering with Bluehole Studio to help bring PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds to Xbox One. Microsoft will be publishing the Xbox One version of the game when it releases later this year. However, despite being described as an “exclusive,” PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds may only be a timed exclusive on Xbox One. If the two companies were to confirm that PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds could come to PS4 later down the li

In order to do so, the companies have now put out nearly 10 minutes of gameplay footage that features 24 players doing battle in space against one another. As seen in the gameplay footage below for Star Wars Battlefront 2, the Starfighter Assault match shows off “objective-based gameplay” that comes about during a Rebel attack on an Imperial base. The gameplay footage for Star Wars Battlefront 2‘s Starfighter Assault appears to be quite smooth, and ought to scratch the itch for those who were di

One of the most oft-requested expansion packs for The Sims 4 has finally been confirmed by Electronic Arts, and it’s sure to leave fans purring. Today, EA announced that The Sims 4 would get a series-favorite pets expansion, which now officially dons the moniker of Cats and Dogs. The specific Cats and Dogs expansion name is a strong indicator that this generation’s pets expansion won’t include horses like the expansion for The Sims 3 did, but that’s relatively par for the course since expansions

Guerrilla Games has detailed patch 1.32 for Horizon: Zero Dawn, which should be rolling out right now. The biggest addition on offer is a new difficulty mode, which is set to be considerably easier than the ones already in the game at present. One of the elements of Horizon: Zero Dawn that was particularly highly praised was its engaging storyline. Guerrilla Games has provided extensive post-launch support for Horizon: Zero Dawn in the form of these patches, but a much bigger content drop is on

The result, at least in the case of Far Cry 5, has been a dramatic departure from the usual trappings that have become familiar to fans. Likewise, in Far Cry Primal, no one character felt particularly developed enough to stand out as larger-than-life in the way that helps push the series further. After a hands-on with Far Cry 5 at a Pre-Gamescom event, however, we’re comfortable saying that the cult problem in Hope County represents a significant, and positive, change for the series. It’s unsett

Voice actor Johnny Cruz, voice of Lucio in Overwatch, received a snuggly new friend from a fan during a signing at Florida Supercon. A video has surfaced on Reddit that shows a Cruz being handed a body pillow from a fan that features Korean gamer and fellow Overwatch hero D.Va. This is the sort of reaction you’d expect from one of the Overwatch voice actors, as they all seem to be a playful bunch. It’s clear fans appreciate the voices behind their favorite Overwatch characters, and it’s evident

Deck Nine has released the launch trailer for its hotly anticipated episodic adventure Life is Strange: Before the Storm. As such, we get to see some of the characters from Life is Strange before the events that would change them forever. However, things start to change for Chloe once she forges a friendship with Rachel Amber. Dontnod Entertainment is also working on a follow-up to Life is Strange, but it’ll apparently feature an all-new setting and a different cast of character. The first episo

Horror icons Michael Myers and Laurie Strode will finally be added to the PlayStation 4 version of Dead by Daylight this Friday, August 25. Myers and Strode are included in the Dead by Daylight Halloween add-on, which is themed after the classic film. Currently, there is no word on when the Halloween DLC will be available on Xbox One.

At Gamescom 2017, it has been confirmed that Final Fantasy 15 will be coming to PC in early 2018.

Final Fantasy 15 is out now on PS4 and Xbox One.

The team behind the Friday the 13th game has already taken some measures to counteract bad player behavior, having released a patch to address team-killing. As part of this, an update version of Friday the 13th code of conduct has been published. It’s unclear whether “live” gameplay only includes the time in which players are alive or whether players could face bans for leaving the match once their character has died. And although it’s unclear exactly how long those temporary bans may last, it c

The biggest news for many however was the introduction of the Xbox One X Project Scorpio edition as well as the ability to finally pre-order the upcoming console.

Xbox One S and PlayStation 4 trade-ins will net players $150 dollars off the total Xbox One X price, while an original Xbox One saves $100. The aforementioned Pr

Microsoft has officially announced that Rare’s multiplayer pirate action game Sea of Thieves will feature cross-play between Xbox One and PC. But cross-play for Sea of Thieves could be the biggest surprise, with the game’s closed technical alpha implementing the feature, effective immediately. This isn’t the first time that Rare has talked about cross-play for Sea of Thieves, however. For now, though, Rare will continue with the development of Sea of Thieves in preparation for its forthcoming la

Before officially revealing the console as the Xbox One X at E3 2017 earlier this year, Microsoft’s powerful bit of new hardware was codenamed the Project Scorpio. At gamescom 2017, Microsoft announced plans to honor that love and support for the name, revealing the Xbox One X Project Scorpio Edition. The Project Scorpio Edition of the “world’s most powerful console” offers a special design, with the phrase “Project Scorpio” etched into the console itself and the controller that comes with it as

Not too long ago, the developers for Middle-earth: Shadow of War released a trailer detailing the Terror Tribe – that is, just one of several different orc tribes that can be found within the forthcoming open world action adventure title. As seen below in Middle-earth: Shadow of War‘s “Monsters of Mordor” trailer, fans are shown the more savage side of the game world, as there are dragons, trolls, giant spiders, and even a Balrog that players will have to face. While Middle-earth: Shadow of War

Today, during Microsoft’s presentation for gamescom 2017, the publisher and developer Ubisoft unveiled a brand new cinematic trailer for the forthcoming action-adventure title, Assassin’s Creed Origins. Of course, while Assassin’s Creed Origins‘ cinematic trailer from gamescom 2017 is decidedly gorgeous, it doesn’t necessarily give fans of the franchise an idea as to how the sequel will play, with many wondering how combat will be handled this time around. All things considered, Assassin’s Creed

The second season of Telltale’s Batman adventure game might be coming to the Nintendo Switch. This isn’t the first time Telltale’s games have been rumored for the Nintendo Switch, however. Both Guardians of the Galaxy and the original season of Batman were both briefly listed by European retailers for the Nintendo Switch at different points in time. Perhaps Telltale will make a dual announcement at gamescom this week about Nintendo Switch support and the second episode’s launch date. Batman: The
