Late last year, Chinese officials banned Pokemon GO from being released in the country due to safety concerns. If Pokemon GO really is headed to China that could mean big things for Niantic’s bank account, at least. Pokemon GO has already made over $1 billion in revenue, but a Chinese release may be extremely lucrative for the company. An estimated 366 million people in China play mobile games; more than the entire population of the United States. Pokemon GO suffered from server problems at laun

The current catalogue of Grand Theft Auto 5 mods has something for every players’ particular desires, from the expertly crafted and quite sophisticated to the downright inane. A modder by the name of Razed has released a mod that makes Grand Theft Auto 5 footage look like video captured in real life. The NaturalVision Remastered mod for Grand Theft Auto is currently free, but players looking to pick it up will need to download the VisualV mod as a prerequisite. While those are certainly feats of

New information has come to light that reveals Virtuos, the studio behind Batman: Return to Arkham, Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age, and Speed Racer, is currently porting a triple-A title to the Nintendo Switch. YouTube user Doctre81 discovered a LinkedIn profile for a Virtuos employee, a programmer by the name of Xiaoyu Zhang, that details a work-in-progress triple-A porting project for the Switch. There’s truly no telling what Virtuos is working on, but much of the studio’s past work, even i

Despite the worldwide sensation known as Pokemon GO having been available to download for over a year now, the game still feels reasonably unstable, with many players complaining about crashes occuring on a regular basis. A recent update, which launched on July 31, claimed to stop the game crashing on iPhone 6 devices, but user feedback seems to suggest otherwise. Several Pokemon fans are even reporting an increased crash-rate since downloading the latest update, though it is unclear as to wheth

Some Final Fantasy 15 players were surely thrown when Square Enix announced a multiplayer mode for the single-players RPG, while others have warmly embraced the idea. Either camp can potentially check out the multiplayer mode today, when the game will host a closed beta for the feature. The first thing they’ll need is a copy of Final Fantasy 15. Given that Final Fantasy 15 was a single-player experience, it’s a big shift for those who played the main game. Final Fantasy 15 is available now on Pl

Grand Theft Auto 6 may be further out than initially expected, if new comments from publisher Take-Two Interactive are any indication. While Grand Theft Auto 5’s success is no secret, the bigger reveal comes as a byproduct of those strong Q1 2018 numbers. In addition, due to the continued success of Grand Theft Auto Online and other factors, the Company has determined that it is necessary to extend the life of Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online for purposes of calculating deferrals.

Although the studio has already teased the project through trailers, Naughty Dog acknowledged that The Last of Us 2 is not yet in full production. He’s saying that only after The Last of Us 2 is in full production will Naughty Dog be able to consider shifting resources to what comes next, and The Last of Us 2 isn’t there yet. And for the most part Naughty Dog’s most dedicated fans are focused on Lost Legacy as well. They just happen to be able to transition a bit of their hype towards future Nau

Destiny 2 hopes to let players find the fun, stripping away confusion and complexity that may get in the way of the game’s action. In a new video from PlayStation, game director Luke Smith and project lead Mark Noseworthy discuss what letting players find the fun means when it comes to Destiny 2:Destiny 2 makes it easier for players to find the fun, @Bungie explains in this new video.

Despite a rocky start, Friday the 13th recently hit 1.8 million copies sold, with more sales expected in the coming weeks and months. Now, thanks to a recent reveal from Gun Media’s Wes Keltner, it looks like those nearly two million Friday the 13th players will have new characters and maps in the not-too-distant future. However, we have reinvested that profit directly back into F13 in the form of new content (maps, characters, etc) and our ongoing server costs.”Keltner didn’t provide any detail

Now that the upcoming Super Mario Odyssey has its official ESRB rating, Nintendo has released updated box art for the game. The rest of the box art looks unchanged, so some may be wondering why Nintendo decided to remove sombrero Mario from the Super Mario Odyssey box art. While most people seem to have accepted sombrero Mario as simply being one of the many outfits Mario can unlock in Super Mario Odyssey, others have accused it of being cultural appropriation. Another possibility is that the im

Although up to 20 trainers can work together to fight high-level beasts, it turns out that a pair of players have been able to defeat the title’s newest Legendary monster with seconds to spare. As seen below in the YouTuber boushinshi’s video, he and his partner managed to take down Pokemon GO‘s Moltres by consistently attacking it with some Golem – that is a rock-type monster often recommend in the fire-type Legendary Raid Battles. For those unaware, Moltres Raid Battles started roughly two day

According to an announcement from the companies, the multiplayer survival-horror release has managed to sell over 1.8 million copies since its launch back in May. “We looked at our player numbers from the beta, along with pre-orders and then added a 30% cushion. 100,000 players hit us in the first 20 minutes, and our servers melted. Naturally, in order to further the title’s success, the companies will need to be truly diligent in regards to increased support. Friday the 13th: The Game is availa

Changes are coming to Destiny 2‘s Trials PvP mode, according to Bungie Crucible design lead Lars Bakken. The Trials of Osiris PvP mode was one of the most popular post-launch additions to Destiny, arriving with the House of Wolves expansion in May 2015. But now Bakken makes it seem like there’s much more to Destiny 2‘s Trials than fans may have thought. Trials of Osiris in Destiny is a 3v3 mode where pre-made groups battle through a series of PvP elimination matches, earning greater rewards with

Shortly after Dark Star Studios and Another Indie Studio unveiled the announcement trailer for Sinner: Sacrifice Redemption, the pair released the first high-quality screenshots for its upcoming game. Inspired by From Software and Bandai Namco’s action-RPG Dark Souls, Sinner: Sacrifice Redemption features dark and foreboding imagery and spine-chilling enemies, all shown in the newly revealed images. The Dark Souls–like Sinner: Sacrifice Redemption centers around a deceased soldier named Adam, wh

“Well, there’s always a risk when we create games, but I don’t think there’s as much risk because Michel [Ancel, director] has been through so many projects. The first Beyond Good and Evil was very good, Michel did what he wanted and what we thought would be the best for the players. All the women that saw Beyond Good and Evil loved it, and it was a huge surprise. So, with any luck, Guillemot’s confindence in Beyond Good and Evil 2 will eventually spread to the fans and gaming community at large

Developer IllFonic seems to have gotten over the worst of it, though, and the team is now gearing up to release the physical edition of the game later this year. The physical version of Friday the 13th will be released, appropriately, on Friday, October 13, and will cost $40 USD. Kickstarter backers were less than pleased, and those who buy the physical version will also be unhappy if their free DLC loses its exclusive status later down the line. The physical launch of the game could lead to a h

As of yet, Capcom has not openly announced a US release for Monster Hunter XX on Nintendo Switch, as the forthcoming deluxe version of Monster Hunter Generations is currently only coming to the console in Japan later this month. Even though Monster Hunter XX won’t necessarily be released anywhere outside of Japan anytime soon, due to the fact that the Nintendo Switch is region free, fans of the franchise around the world will be able to try out the demo after setting up a Japanese account on the

Dragon Quest 11 represents a huge step forward for the series in terms of both gameplay and reach. Dragon Quest 11 was confirmed for a western release not too long ago, and since then, JRPG fans have been excited about what that could mean for one of Japan’s most popular franchises. While Dragon Quest 11 has already been released in Japan for the PS4 and Nintendo 3DS – with a Nintendo Switch launch to come at a later date – Square Enix has yet to officially announce what platforms the game would

It’s a great week to be a Persona fan as Atlus announce two new Dancing All Night spin-off titles, Persona 5: Dancing Star Night and Persona 3: Dancing Moon Night, slated to release next year. The two games seem to be releasing side-by-side and will feature the casts of Persona 5 and Persona 3 respectively. It will be interesting to see what the gameplay is like when the “best RPG of all time” gets the Dancing All Night treatment. Another interesting development is that both titles will be comin
