Weatherworn, and with a son, Kratos spent the demonstration navigating frozen wastes and battling a new horde of enemies. While in previous games Kratos has relied heavily on the Blades of Olympus, the weapons given to him by the Greek Gods, in the new God of War Kratos is seen wielding a single axe. A one-handed axe is certainly different from the Blades of Olympus in a lot of meaningful ways, as the Blades represented a more elegant, fluid form of combat while the axe will bring some more brut

The excitement swirled around the fact that Final Fantasy 15‘s newest DLC will be a substantially larger addition to the game than its last. Despite being praised as a worthy addition to the game’s lore and environmental world-building, Final Fantasy 15: Episode Gladiolus was also criticized for its oddly-paced gameplay and relatively short main story mission, which many gamers completed in around a half hour. Luckily, a Square Enix representative confirmed on stream today that Episode Prompto w

As Destiny 2 looks to expand the content from Destiny 1 in multiple ways, the game will be actually losing a much-loved game mode in its PvP, as it’s dropping the free-for-all Rumble playlist. Destiny 2’s PvP will be completely 4v4, thus eliminating any modes from the original that do not match that setup. Bungie’s community manager, David Dague (aka DeeJ), told IGN’s Destiny podcast that Rumble did not make the cut for Destiny 2:“For now, Rumble is gone. The focus for PvP in Destiny 2, so it se

With this being the case, Bethesda Softworks has now decided to put out the first story trailer for the title, detailing exactly how much Sebastian has been suffering since the original entry in the series. So, for those who don’t wish to encounter any spoilers from the first game, it’s best to avoid watching the story trailer and to tread lightly throughout the rest of the article. Of course, while the sequel’s story is undoubtedly important, many fans are surely hoping for an official gameplay

Console gamers are able to dive into Destiny 2 on September 6, a full month and a half earlier than PC players who join the fight on October 24. The Destiny team is aware that this isn’t ideal, but the developers do have some good intentions behind the later release date for the PC version. During E3, GameSpot caught up with Destiny’s community manager to chat about why the PC version is arriving in late October instead of early September. It will be interesting to see if the delayed launch ends

Detroit: Become Human received a ton of attention with a stunning cinematic announcement trailer at E3 2016 and the hype has only grown in the year that followed. During an E3 livestream, director David Cage explained that the script is finalized and clocks in at roughly 2,000 pages total. The entire narrative really seems to be shaped by each decision, rather than just a few important ones. What do you think of the scope of Detroit: Become Human? Detroit: Become Human is in development exclusiv

Now, Xbox boss Phil Spencer has revealed that Microsoft will not make any profit from Xbox One X sales at this price. While speaking with Business Insider, Spencer gave a simple “no” to the question about whether or not Microsoft would make money from the Xbox One X. In fact, many gamers have pointed out that Xbox One consoles (namely the Xbox One S and Xbox One X) are among the cheapest 4K Blu-ray players on the market. it’s a gaming device with tons of computing power and storage space – it’s

In news that is a little more surprising (and potentially upsetting), Capcom has also confirmed that the recently announced Nintendo Switch port of Monster Hunter XX will not be receiving a release in the US. Monster Hunter XX is an expanded version of Monster Hunter Generations and was originally released on 3DS in Japan earlier this year. In an interview with GameSpot at E3, Capcom confirmed that there are no plans to localize the recently announced Nintendo Switch version of Monster Hunter XX

Insomniac’s Spider-Man game looked fantastic in its E3 2017 gameplay trailer, with Spidey beating up bad guys and saving New York City from total destruction in the process. But Insomniac Games now promises that the game will somehow improve its graphics when it launches as a PS4 exclusive next year. Comparing this year’s gameplay trailer to the amazing Spider-Man reveal trailer from last year, the developer explained that “you’re seeing improvements across the board.”Although Spider-Man “looks

As it so happens, a couple of the more interesting tidbits to come from the studio’s creative director Bryan Intihar confirms that the forthcoming action-adventure release’s story mode will feature a “mostly” open world and contain gameplay that has fans take on the role of Peter Parker. When it comes to the role of the Web-Head’s alter ego in the game, Insomniac’s creative director explained, “It can’t just be Spider-Man 100 percent of the time. In our game, you’re gonna see Peter a lot in stor

One of the biggest stories from the Microsoft E3 2017 press conference is that original Xbox games will be backward compatible with the Xbox One. Posting on Twitter, Penello said that much like the existing Xbox 360 backward compatibility program, the backward compatibility program for original Xbox games will also work with original Xbox game discs. The executive also confirmed that “digital licenses will carry over,” which means that any original Xbox games purchased on the Xbox 360 will also

Since the game’s demo, Insomniac has since released plenty of extra information on the project, including the size of the world map. As it turns out, the map of the PS4-exclusive Spider-Man will be substantially larger than a recent notable open-world project from Insomniac Games. The developer’s community director James Stevenson has confirmed that the world map will be four to six times the size of Sunset Overdrive, the Xbox One exclusive title that Insomniac released back in 2014. It’s worth

Nintendo gave fans a very in-depth view of Super Mario Odyssey during its E3 2017 showcase, revealing everything from new Amiibo to the fact that Mario will be spending the bulk of the coins he collects. As it turns out, Super Mario Odyssey producer Yoshiaki Koizumi has admitted that the game may feature a cameo from a certain affable ape named Donkey Kong. During an interview with Game Informer, Koizumi was discussing the fact that Pauline – the woman which Donkey Kong kidnaps in the original D

The latest bit of news comes by way of Michael Condrey, Sledgehammer’s co-founder, who revealed via Twitter that Call of Duty: WW2 is not currently in development for Nintendo Switch. Hopefully the folks at Activision will provide a bit more clarity for why Call of Duty: WW2 isn’t coming to Nintendo Switch in the near future. Additionally, Microsoft announced that the Nintendo Switch will be a part of a new cross-play experience available for Minecraft and Rocket League gamers. That said, it’s s

Much like some of the more recent offerings for the system, the still unnamed Kirby title is set to feature multiplayer through befriend-able baddies. While details are still slim, however, Nintendo has detailed some of the different ways players will be able to trek through the game with friends. It’s not at all a surprising layout, but it’s a reassuring confirmation by Nintendo that should satiate fans while they wait for more concrete details on the first-ever Switch entry in the Kirby franch

According to statements made during an interview held between the Japanese video game magazine Famitsu and the Sony Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida, the original Shadow of the Colossus director, Fumito Ueda, didn’t have as big of a presence in the remake’s creation as he did with the initial PS2 version. Although Yoshida confirmed that the Shadow of the Colossus remake would be a solid portrayal of the original’s content, the forthcoming version of the game won’t be without some tweak

Shuhei Yoshida offhandedly confirmed that Sony has intentionally held back during this year’s E3, saving news for reveal later this year. Fans have had uneven reactions to Sony’s PlayStation E3 Media Showcase, which was notably scaled back compared to previous years. To hear Yoshida directly confirm that PlayStation held back this year is certain to be met with mixed feelings. The reasons for fan frustrations with Sony’s E3 2017 PlayStation Media Showcase are myriad, creating a perfect storm of

During its E3 2017 press conference, Nintendo revealed a brand new Super Mario Odyssey gameplay trailer. Some have even gone as far as to suggest that Mario is the bad guy in Super Mario Odyssey. “Mario possessed me and forced me to kill a man,” jokes one Twitter user, while another asks if Mario is an ‘undead revenant’ who cannot be killed. Mario may well be the bad guy in Super Mario Odyssey then, as he just causes so much trouble. Super Mario Odyssey will introduce some key features including

A few months ago, Funcom revealed that Conan Exiles would be making its way to the Xbox Preview program. At the time of this writing, there’s still a lot left to learn about the Highlands expansion for Conan Exiles and the content it will bring to the game. In the meantime, it will be interesting to see if Funcom is able to keep parity between the Xbox One version of Conan Exiles and the PC version of the game. Of course, we will have to wait and see how Funcom handles the Xbox One version of Co

At E3 2017, Ubisoft finally made the long rumored Assassin’s Creed: Origins official, even after multiple leaks prior to the show essentially confirmed the existence of the title. While the popular multiplayer modes have not been seen since Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag, many fans began to wonder if those competitive modes would finally be making a return. During the Assassin’s Creed: Origins panel at the E3 Coliseum, game director Ashraf Ismail confirmed that multiplayer modes like Manhunt and
