Unfortunately, Ash Hat Pikachu didn’t go live in the game when expected, with the Pikachu variant delayed by a few hours due to an unspecified error. Niantic took to Twitter to acknowledge the Ash Hat Pikachu delay, though the issues have since been resolved. Even though Ash Hat Pikachu was only delayed by a couple of hours, the error still upset many fans of the game. But while some problems in Pokemon GO have taken quite awhile for Niantic to fix, the problems with Ash Hat Pikachu have been re

It’s a huge month for Destiny players with tons of new information regarding Destiny 2 releasing at a rapid pace and a beta looming in just over two weeks. But never fear: Destiny 1 is still going strong even if Destiny 2 is stealing all of the attention. Xur LocationFirst off, players will find Xur in Tower South, in an area commonly referred to as the nightclub. The exotic gauntlets are still decent to use, but they used to be top tier. Speaking of repeat items, Xur has the Hawkmoon exotic han

It has been a while since Blizzard announced Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft‘s most recent expansion, Journey to Un’Goro, to a lot of fanfare. Hearthstone‘s newest expansion will be called Knights of the Frozen Throne, and as the name implies, it will revolve almost entirely around the Lich King and his army of Death Knights. For those unfamiliar with Warcraft lore, the Lich King is the demonic combination of Prince Arthas and the spirit of a shaman named Ner’zhul. The Lich King is a beloved vil

According to the studio’s Marketing Producer, Aaron Kaufman, Kratos and his son, Atreus, are to share a somewhat equal footing on the battlefield, as the two will have dynamic combat elements occurring between them. The Santa Monica Studio Marketing Producer assured fans that the ability he explained is just one example among many that can be used with Kratos and Atreus acting in tandem during combat. While mid-air, Atreus then followed Kratos’ attack up by shooting a shock arrow at the opponent

Following a Bayonetta Nintendo Switch port tease earlier this week, Platinum Games appears to be teasing The Wonderful 101 on Nintendo Switch via its new Japanese Twitter account as well. Now a new teaser image points towards a Switch port of The Wonderful 101. The three together are playing a game, which is clearly a blurred look at The Wonderful 101 on Nintendo Switch controllers. While a Nintendo Switch port of The Wonderful 101 is not at all official at this point, there’s plenty of opportun

Today, Monolith Productions and Warner Bros. Interactive released an official trailer revealing that an update has been applied to the PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One versions of Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor which will allow fans to transfer their strongest and most hated Nemesis from the 2014 game to the sequel, Middle-earth: Shadow of War. Not only that, but also Middle-earth: Shadow of War players may bring along their most loyal Orc follower as well should they choose to do so. As seen bel

Scalpers trying to take advantage of the demand for the SNES Classic Edition have been thwarted by a new eBay rule. SNES Classic Edition pre-orders were as much as three times the RRP via eBay and now the online retailer has taken action. It could also have an impact on the availability of the SNES Classic Edition too. Nintendo has promised that it will make more SNES Classic Edition units than it did of the NES Classic, but the console has proved difficult to get regardless. The SNES Classic Ed

Destiny 2‘s daily reveals and developer interviews continue today with Bungie’s Luke Smith and Mark Noseworthy talking about how the sequel improves on story, progression, and rewards. He describes Destiny as “sticky” in that it brings players together “like poker night and book clubs.” Those shared experiences make people return to Destiny week after week and are something Luke sees as important to retain in Destiny 2. What differentiates Destiny 2 from another expansion isn’t just optimization

With Capcom having unveiled Monster Hunter: World by way of its first trailer during Sony’s E3 2017 press conference, fans of the action-RPG franchise have understandably been excited to see the forthcoming title release for current generation platforms. During the guided gameplay session above, it’s also revealed that Monster Hunter: World introduces creatures with the ability to see, smell, and hear players, so stealth is an important aspect of getting the upper hand while trying to take them

Global Events in Ubisoft Massive’s third-person shooter offer players new modifiers to change the difficulty, and include classified gear sets to encourage players to dive in. The first Global Event is called Outbreak, and it is now live on the Public Test Server. The Outbreak event will include three classified gear sets, three different weapon skins, and one set of vanity gear. The Global Event will also include some modifiers to increase the challenge for players and their potential rewards.

Destiny 2 will lock player loadouts on certain activities, developer Bungie reveals. Speaking in a recent interview, Destiny 2 director Luke Smith confirmed that for some activities in the game, players will be “loadout locked” and they will be unable to change. There is also the opportunity to create the “best” loadout for an activity, with loadout metas being shared among Destiny 2 players. Positively, Bungie has plenty of time to address any complaints following the Destiny 2 open beta. Desti

As it so happens, the action starts in just a little more than two short weeks from now, with fans of the science fiction shooter franchise being able to take part in the game’s open beta on consoles from July 21 through July 23. As seen below in the launch trailer for Destiny 2‘s open beta, fans who give the trial a go will get access to the title’s opening story mission, a co-op Strike, as well as competitive multiplayer. As expected, those who pre-order Destiny 2 will be granted entrance to t

Pokemon GO players have been hunting down rare monsters for just about a full year now and there are still lots more to find. The Pokemon mascot is incredibly popular and just rare enough that new and old players are always trying to hunt down the electric mouse. Eevee is the second most popular, which is likely due to the Normal-type’s exciting evolution options. Eight states shifted from a most popular Gen 1 to a Gen 2 during the course of the last few months. A handful of other states are sti

When Nintendo first announced its Nintendo Switch Online app, feedback from gamers was mixed. For Nintendo Switch owners, this will be their first chance to try out the Nintendo Switch Online app and service, which will be free until sometime next year. The free version of the Nintendo Switch Online app will come with some limited features for gamers, including online matchmaking and online chat. With the free version of the Nintendo Switch Online app, gamers will gain access to a Splatoon 2 com

As part of the Pokemon GO Anniversary event, players will notice that any Pikachu found and caught in the wild will be wearing the Ash Ketchum hat. Prior to this reveal, rumors surfaced that suggested a Ash Hat Pikachu might enter the game – similar to how the Christmas Hat Pikachu appeared during holiday time – and this confirms it. Both the Ash Hat Pikachu and the Anniversary Boxes will be available in Pokemon GO starting today, July 6th, until July 24th. Interesting enough, the Pokemon GO Ann

Horizon: Zero Dawn is one of the most critically acclaimed games of 2017, giving The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild a run for its money when it comes to console-exclusive action adventure titles. Patch 1.30 for Horizon: Zero Dawn fixes some troublesome progression issues that have marred some players’ enjoyment of the game. Guerrilla has implemented an Ultra Hard difficulty setting that upgrades machines’ senses and behavior, and puts a limit on Aloy’s health regeneration, among other tweak

Anyone who wants to appreciate the graphical prowess of a current generation console, this is the video for you. One fan took one of the sharpest games ever made, The Last of Us, and gave it the PlayStation 1 treatment. The artist, 98DEMAKE, set up some sparse environmental details, then planted PS1 Joel and Ellie and a few Cordyceps zombies. The video is a nice homage to The Last of Us, which currently has a sequel in development. Though developer Naughty Dog said a Last of Us sequel wasn’t a s

Mass Effect: Andromeda may not have provided gamers with a hero that could fill the gigantic shoes of a certain Command Shepard, with BioWare’s followup to the massively successful trilogy falling short of its lofty expectations. Mass Effect: Andromeda already had jetpacks, so it wasn’t exactly a stretch – although turning Ryder into Glider was probably never on the cards when the game was being developed. The free Mass Effect: Andromeda mod disables both fatal falls and map boundaries, allowing

The big, beautiful, and equally daunting Storms are part of Sea of Thieves‘ dynamic weather system, and are a major gameplay feature as well. Within the first 30 seconds of the video, Rare shows just what a storm within Sea of Thieves looks like: dark, shifting, full of flashing light. It’s like sailing into a different world and the Sea of Thieves gameplay changes accordingly. No storm would be complete without proper claustrophobic atmosphere, and Rare delivers exceptionally on Sea of Thieves‘

Following last week’s release of Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy , both fans and critics alike have been singing the praises of Vicarious Visions’ remastered rendition of the original titles in the platformer series, as the compendium has received plenty of positive reviews. Not only is Aku Aku featured prominently at the top of the fan-made construction, but also Crash Bandicoot himself is depicted as being sucked into one of the warp portals from the games. Interestingly enough, this isn’t the
