With the long, five year development period of Mass Effect: Andromeda now behind BioWare, the company has shifted gears and moved on to its mysterious new IP, codenamed Dylan. Of course, the natural reaction to news of a delay is to wonder why, with some even speculating that perhaps the negative pre-release press for Mass Effect Andromeda gave EA cold feet. During the post-earnings call, EA CEO Andrew Wilson squashed any speculation by confirming that this delay has nothing to do with how Mass

World of Warcraft players spend hundreds of hours grinding for the best gear and items in Blizzard’s aging MMO and sometimes it’s nice to be able to show that gear off while away from the game. For years, the World of Warcraft Armory has provided that opportunity, but in recent game updates the desktop and mobile versions of the feature have been growing more and more outdated. Luckily, Blizzard is finally announcing a major overhaul to the profile pages that should help address some of the comp

Need for Speed developer Ghost Games confirms that this year’s entry in the series will not feature an always online requirement. 2015’s Need for Speed reboot required an Internet connection to play, much to fans’ frustration.

One fan’s trip to Japan might have confirmed that at least one part of Breath of the Wild actually does exist in the real world, however. Given just how life-like the world of Breath of the Wild is, it wouldn’t be surprising to find out many of its most impressive geographical oddities had roots in the real world. Given that Breath of the Wild released two months ago and is still one of the most pop

The next iteration of Far Cry could be out later this year according to new details surrounding a recent Red Dead Redemption 2 rumor.

One question asks about how often players play solo in the Dark Zone, which has been its own hot topic for months. Many players have felt that attempting the

After Mario Kart 8‘s debut on the Nintendo Switch earned the honor of being the fast-selling Mario Kart title of all time, perhaps it’s no surprise that the game has continued to perform well around the globe.
