After over three years, there is little that Destiny players can do to surprise fans. To celebrate the launch of Wrath of the Machine as the weekly featured raid, a new two-man Destiny team has taken on the Aksis Challenge. For those that might not be familiar, the Aksis raid challenge requires that one Empowered player dispense their energy into the glowing plate in the back of the boss fight room. While this isn’t the first two-man team to complete the Aksis Challenge, it is the first since Wr

Following disappointment amongst a number of fans over the lack of a narrative-driven campaign in the original, gamers were overjoyed to learn that Star Wars: Battlefront 2 will feature a story mode. The two writers in question are none other than Walt Williams, the writer responsible for the critically-acclaimed Spec Ops: The Line, and former IGN editor Mitch Dyer. The duo’s involvement was fleshed out during an interview with Glixel, where Star Wars: Battlefront 2 director Mark Thompson was qu

The Elder Scrolls Online is getting a new expansion, and Bethesda and ZeniMax Online are offering up the first ever new class since the game’s original roster at launch. Once The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind releases, players will be given the opportunity to create brand new Warden characters, a role that is functionally similar to the Druid class in World of Warcraft with several Elder Scrolls-appropriate twists. Beyond the addition of the Warden, The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind is set t

However, Halo developer 343 Industries has officially confirmed that Halo 3 is not in the works for a PC release. Jarrard also broke the news that a remastered Halo 3 Anniversary isn’t in the works at 343 Industries either:“I’ve been here just about 6 months now and haven’t ever heard of one single mention of Halo 3 coming to Steam nor Halo 3 anniversary being made. While it’s not surprising that 343 would squash the PC rumor, it’s a bit unexpected that Halo 3 Anniversary is not in the works. Wh

Level-5 announced today that the latest title in the Layton franchise, Layton’s Mystery Journey: Katrielle and the Millionaires’ Conspiracy, is coming out later this year. A Nintendo 3DS release for the puzzle game should follow in the months afterwards, “early autumn” according to Level-5. The 3DS release comes as somewhat of a surprise after the previous Layton spin-off game, Layton Brothers: Mystery Room, was launched solely on mobile platforms. Modern Layton titles, including the Layton Brot

We’ve already seen a few speedrun streamers clock times as fast as 45 minutes, but that leaves a lot of the game’s secrets untouched. A new group of speedrunners are attempting to fly through the game while also obtaining 100% completion. Any one of these requirements seems insane on their own, but completing all of them in under 50 hours sounds nearly impossible. How close are you to reaching a 100% Breath of the Wild run? Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is available now on Nintendo Switch

The United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has issued a warning about Nintendo Switch emulators. The trade body urges gamers to be aware of ‘scams’ and misleading offers. In a statement published to the FTC website, the commission encourages would-be Nintendo Switch players to “think again” when it comes to using emulators. The FTC also encourages fans to take steps such as just keeping security software up to date, playing a Nintendo Switch at a friend’s house until they can buy one for t

In addition to Guerrilla Games’ inclusion of the much-requested music feature for its PlayStation 4 exclusive, Horizon: Zero Dawn, the developers have also used Update 1.13 to allow fans to drop treasure chests with items that they no longer want or need. Nevertheless, it has only been a month since Guerrilla Games’ managing head Hermen Helst announced the expansion, so it would be best for fans and the company alike if it’s not rushed. With this being the case, it’s good to see Guerrilla Games

Square Enix has released more details on the job system found in Final Fantasy 12: The Zodiac Age that sheds light on a new feature that should add a bit more variety to the remaster. The game’s Zodiac Job System will now allow for two job classes to be assigned to the same character. Another small but welcomed change coming to Final Fantasy 12: The Zodiac Age is the addition of a real time, transparent map that can be pulled up by players while exploring. Aside from the content added from the I

As seen below in the trailer for the A Glitch in the Frontier DLC, the upcoming add-on includes two maps, a faction, another game mode, and more. As described by Electronic Arts, Titanfall 2‘s Glitch map is “medium-sized” and has been “inspired by Captain Lastimosa’s home planet of Harmony,” with a second arena, named Deck, being added specifically for the title’s Live Fire game mode. As far as A Glitch in the Frontier’s new faction is concerned, the Titanfall 2 update adds MRVN, which could be

Halo Wars: Definitive Edition will be coming out later this week as a stand-alone title on Windows 10 PC, Xbox One, and Steam. The latter platform has long been the rumored home for Halo Wars: Definitive Edition, and will likely cause a huge shift in the already niche title’s online playerbase. While Halo Wars: Definitive Edition has been made available before, the revamped and more polished version of Ensemble Studios’ 2009 real-time strategy hit had been locked behind the Halo Wars 2: Ultimate

Despite topping the UK sales charts in its first week on sale, Persona 5 has now dropped off the charts entirely. While some may have expected Persona 5 to lose its position as the highest-selling game of the week, the fact that it has completely dropped off the UK sales charts comes as a surprise. At this point, it’s hard to say why Persona 5‘s sales have declined so dramatically in the UK. Yooka-Laylee was one of the only big name game releases that launched, and it debuted on the charts in si

As seen below in the trailer for Ghost Recon: Wildlands‘ Narco Road DLC, the expansion tasks players with infiltrating three gangs of smugglers led by the kingpin known as El Invisible. Those who wish to take part in the action that’s available in the Narco Road DLC right now can do so by purchasing Ghost Recon: Wildlands‘ Season Pass for $40, which will also net them the game’s next expansion pack when it releases later on down the line. Alternatively, though, they can simply wait until Narco R

Some Call of Duty multiplayer maps stand out from the rest as especially fun to play on, with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2‘s Rust map fitting in that category. Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare‘s second DLC pack, Continuum, is out now on PlayStation 4, and it adds the Rust remake map Excess along with three brand new multiplayer maps. Besides adding four new multiplayer maps to the Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare experience, the Continuum DLC also introduces a new Zombies map as well. Between the

Apparently, Code Vein is set in a post-apocalyptic near future, where players will take on the role of super-powered vampires called the Revenant. One of the main features to be found within Code Vein is a “Buddy” system that allows players to bring an AI-controlled companion along with them to explore dungeons and engage in combat using a variety of different swords and melee weapons. At the moment, Bandai Namco Entertainment has revealed that development on Code Vein is roughly 35% complete, s

Fans have seen dramatic costume changes, a shift in environment, and even Final Fantasy 7 transported into another time period. Now, comic artist Nikolas Draper-Ivey has offered his take on the Final Fantasy 7 main cast, choosing to change their race instead of their clothing. Draper-Ivey also took to his Facebook page to address comments made about him as a black comic book artist.

Horizon: Zero Dawn was showered with praise for its gripping narrative and its engaging gameplay when it launched in February, but its eye-catching graphics also wowed players. A GIF posted on Reddit earlier today demonstrates how the game only streams in whatever environmental architecture would be visible to the player. A game like Horizon: Zero Dawn needs to use system resources wisely in order to deliver jaw-dropping graphics. Horizon: Zero Dawn certainly garnered a lot of attention for its

It’s no secret that The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a great game — Nintendo has sold more copies of the adventure than Switch consoles, which speaks volumes. Four respected video game developers came together to discuss Breath of the Wild, and it shouldn’t be too much of a surprise to find out that they’re all big fans. Whether you’re in the industry, or just an enthusiast, it seems that the new Zelda is a must-play. It’s just so dense, and so layered, and so interesting — when have I

Originally announced at E3 2016, Arena basically makes participating in eSports available to all Xbox One players regardless of skill level. Party Overlay on the other hand is another multitasking feature that will tell players who’s speaking in the party without first forcing them to open the guide. Players in a party on Xbox Live can enable the feature, which adds a small overlay on the screen displaying the party member name who is speaking. Lastly, the Xbox One is receiving a number of fan-r
