Next week, E3 2017 takes over Los Angeles — and WWE superstar the Big Show will be in attendance at the big show. The grappler will be on hand to co-host a panel on Destiny 2 that will air as part of the E3 Coliseum strand of programming. We can expect to hear a lot about Destiny 2 at E3 this year, and this broadcast will no doubt offer up its own kernels of information. He’s also appeared on fellow WWE superstar Xavier Woods’ gaming YouTube channel, UpUpDownDown, where he detailed his dislike f

There has been a lot of activity at Universal Studios Japan this week, as work progresses on the upcoming Super Nintendo World area of the park. Today, the park released a video detailing its official groundbreaking ceremony, complete with confirmation that there will be a highly advanced Mario Kart attraction.

Pokemon GO is set to celebrate its first anniversary next month, and its developer Niantic Inc. has big plans for the occasion. Details are scant on what Pokemon GO Fest will consist of, but it’s likely that there will be some links to the major summer event that Niantic has been teasing for some time. We do know that the summer update will add some kind of co-operative mode to the game. What exactly that summer event will include is unclear, but rumors suggest it might feature the first legenda

Just days prior to E3 2017, Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite is back in the news once again as a potential new leak has not only revealed more of the upcoming characters but also Capcom’s downloadable content heavy plan to keep the game going after launch. While this new list features a lot more fan requested characters for Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite, readers should continue to take this information with a grain of salt until officially revealed by Capcom. Speaking of DLC, it appears that Capcom is pl

Responding to a Tweet put out by Geoff Keighley, the Insomniac Games Twitter account all but confirmed that its mysterious Spider-Man game for the PlayStation 4 would also be making an appearance at the show. Insomniac’s response arrived after Keighley’s Tweet revealed the upcoming schedule for E3 Colosseum, a brand new main stage event at E3 2017 which showcases interviews, gameplay demos, and behind the scenes looks at many upcoming games.

Today, Rockstar Games released an official trailer for Grand Theft Auto Online‘s Gunrunning update, providing a look at all of the illegal arms trafficking action possible in the upcoming DLC. As seen below in Grand Theft Auto Online‘s Gunrunning trailer, players will be given the chance to become virtual kingpins of a weapons smuggling empire that ships and distributes arms out of Southern San Andreas. Previously released details for Grand Theft Auto Online‘s Gunrunning update shared a look at

Telltale Games has become something of a go-to developer for creating story-driven games out of outside properties, as seen with the recent Guardians of the Galaxy adaptation. One of the studio’s previous games has also now officially been confirmed for a second season, with Telltale Games announcing that Minecraft: Story Mode – Season 2 is on the way. pic.twitter.com/srCDaITFqF — Telltale Games (@telltalegames) June 7, 2017Although Telltale Games has remained coy about the exact contents of Min

Rebellion is a developer that rarely has trouble calling back to days gone by, as shown by the recent release of the impressive Sniper Elite 4. However, with its most recent project the studio is heading back into the 1930s, this time through the launch of a title known as Strange Brigade. There, Strange Brigade will task players with uncovering some mysterious lost civilizations, hunting through tombs and taking on enemies along the way. Thankfully, those who play Strange Brigade will not have

As Square Enix continues to tease new announcements in celebration of Final Fantasy’s 30th anniversary, it appears one of their secrets came out early. A recently posted retail listing page for Dissidia Final Fantasy NT appeared on Amazon much earlier than intended, though Square Enix quickly followed suit and officially announced the title a short time later. According to the Amazon page and later confirmed by Square Enix, Dissidia Final Fantasy NT is a collaboration between Team Ninja and Squa

Smosh Games is back with another instalment of its Honest Game Trailers series, and this time it’s taking a stab at one of the biggest multiplayer releases of the year. Friday the 13th: The Game has only been out for a couple of weeks, but it has already been mutilated in true Jason fashion by this video. As with previous Honest Game Trailers videos, the Friday the 13th: The Game edition hones in on some of the less marketable aspects of the game. The fact that Friday the 13th: The Game is being

It’s been four years since the last Splinter Cell game was released, and things have been relatively quiet ever since. However, it appears that a new Sam Fisher adventure may be on the horizon thanks to evidence of a new trademark application for the franchise name. A new application from Ubisoft has surfaced on the trademark listing website Justia, which shows that the studio has re-registered a new licence for the Splinter Cell brand. What makes this application particularly interesting is tha

However, at the time people began seeing the God of War banner most assumed it was simply a promotion for the game at E3. Now that some time has passed, though, it seems the banner may also be revealing the game’s release date. But, there remained a piece of the banner that has yet to be filled in – the bottom corner, where a release date could easily go. Presumably, Sony Santa Monica will take to the stage, show off a demo of God of War, and then announce a release date. But, if the corner rema

Destiny fans have set up their own fair share of self-imposed challenges, from conquering entire raids solo to using unconventional controllers to play the game. But one group of players recently challenged themselves to overcome the Vault of Glass raid under the conditions of not having any sound or use of the HUD. M4V3R1C8 describes a situation that can be common for deaf gamers who play Destiny—the challenge of finding a raid group that is willing to play with a teammate who can not hear. But

As it turns out, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is no different, with a recent example of must-have loot from the game being a backpack that is designed to look like Link’s shield. The backpack itself, which is specifically designed after the Traveler’s Shield, is being sold by Think Geek, and is currently available for $59.99. That said, perhaps the most important factor in a Zelda fan’s decision to buy the backpack is just how authentic it looks in comparison to the in-game Traveler’s

After nearly a week of waiting, Friday the 13th players on PS4 have finally received the much-needed matchmaking patch for the console. On all platforms, matchmaking wait times became even longer, and disconnects from games were more frequent. No doubt today’s news is going to be pleasing to some Friday the 13th players and disappointing to others. It has been a long wait for improvements to matchmaking, especially once PC players got their update so much faster. Friday the 13th is available now

Suffice to say, Ronaldo is a rather hot ticket player, and the brand built around his career helps move product. As such, it’s a no-brainer that EA Sports would pick him as the cover athlete for FIFA 18, a move which market research firm SuperData says could increase sales of the game by 10%. Historically, the FIFA franchise has secured the services of Ronaldo’s biggest competition, Lionel Messi, as its cover athlete. Do you think having Cristiano Ronaldo as a cover athlete will help boost sales

Mass Effect: Andromeda has attracted no shortage of interest ever since the title carried the franchise beyond the Shepard trilogy this March, with the game proving to be a very divisive subject among fans. The studio has made several amendments to the title via post-launch patches, but many fans were still upset about the lack of a male-to-male relationship option for Jaal. There’s no word yet on when this new update will drop for gamers, but the full notes for the upcoming patch can be seen he

Ninja Theory today announced the release date for Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, accompanied by a new trailer titled “Ragnarok.” Expect the third-person action game to launch on both PlayStation 4 and PC starting August 8. While at first glance Hellblade might seem like a standard dark fantasy action game, Ninja Theory’s exploring much more complex ideas in this game. Ninja Theory is hoping this strategy will enable them stay independent and to keep making the games they want to make. PC players
