Even though Electronic Arts is once again holding its own show during E3 as they did last year, the company is planning to show off a number of games including the latest IP from the original Mass Effect team at BioWare Edmonton codenamed Dylan. According to Robertson, BioWare is currently working on a massive sci-fi inspired game that represents EA’s attempt to tap into the MMO-lite market, currently held by games like Destiny and Tom Clancy’s The Division. Details are of course slim, though it

One of the most iconic moments of 2013’s The Last of Us was the first time players booted up the game and were treated to John Sweeney’s beautiful start screen. Just the simple serenity of the window somehow captured so much of the game’s essence, even without showing anything. Now, a fan made start screen for The Last of Us: Part 2 has surfaced online, and it’s every bit as beautiful as the first one. After completing the image, Hill added the UI overlay to make his work seem indistinguishable

[UPDATE: With King’s Fall being brought up to light level 390, we are reposting our Challenge Mode guides for any Destiny players that may need assistance. It’s early Tuesday morning and that means two things for the Destiny population: a new week of Strikes and Weekly bounties to complete and a brand new challenge for the King’s Fall raid. This week, Destiny rolls out its final raid challenge, the Oryx challenge. So far no one has beat the Oryx challenge but plenty of Destiny die-hards are tryi

While no official announcement has yet been offered, industry insider Liam Robertson has revealed that BioWare Austin is indeed working on a new Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic title. Robertson shared his insight on his Patreon-exclusive podcast, where he discussed how the new Knights of the Old Republic game will be a revival of the franchise. What they’re currently working on right now—and I have this on good authority—is a sort of remake/revival of Knights of the Old Republic. This is

Old school Naughty Dog fans are eagerly awaiting the release of Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy this summer, which is a remaster of the first three Crash Bandicoot games from the days of the original PlayStation. It really is striking how much better the game looks when directly compared with the original titles. Developer Vicarious Visions is even apprehensive to use the term remaster when describing the Crash Bandicoot trilogy because it isn’t exactly that. Features in the later games in the t

Raids are, of course, a long-rumored and often teased feature for Pokemon Go that has yet to become a reality. First things first though: What exactly is a cooperative raid, and how would Pokemon Go implement it? Raids are entirely cooperative, with players working together to take down AI-controlled enemies. Pokemon Go raids could potentially work either way: in an extremely structured format or open to as many participants as want to play. However Niantic ultimately puts raids into Pokemon Go,

Without a doubt, Red Barrels Studio’s upcoming survival-horror title Outlast 2 is far and away one of the most highly anticipated video games of 2017 thanks to its ability to immerse players into a unique and terrifying world full of tense enemy encounters and severe scares. For those who have yet to get a handle as to what the fright-fest is all about, the fine folks over at Polygon have now posted 10 minutes of gameplay footage from a gameplay preview with the title to give fans a better idea

According to an announcement from the video game developers at DICE, Battlefield 1‘s Premium Pass owners are set to receive a brand new map for free in June called Nivelle Nights. For those unaware, this is the first instance of DICE releasing a free map to Battlefield 1‘s Premium Pass owners that’s not going to be a part of any DLC package. Bearing all of this in mind, it will be interesting to see if the Nivelle Nights maps manages to stir players into buying the Premium Pass. Battlefield 1 is

Not to mention, as an incentive to get fans to purchase The Elder Scrolls Online during the trial week, it will be discounted until April 18, after which it will go back to full price. As of writing, it’s unclear as to what the sale price for The Elder Scrolls Online will be, but Tamriel Unlimited–that is, the base game–typically costs $30, while The Elder Scrolls Online: Gold Edition, which includes the base game as well as the Imperial City, Orsinium, Thieves Guild, and Dark Brotherhood DLC pa

As a launch title accompanying a brand new console, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has done a standup job of convincing gamers to invest in the Nintendo Switch. One of the biggest issues fans have had with the Nintendo Switch has been a lack of onboard memory. Fortunately, it turns out that Mario Kart 8 Deluxe will not require an ample amount of room once installed on the unit, only requiring a very modest 6.75GB of space. Of course, if Nintendo plans on supporting this rendition of Mar

As it happens, the new anti-tamper technology that BioWare included in Mass Effect: Andromeda‘s latest patch to protect the game from piracy has yet to be cracked, and its code could very well remain unbroken for the foreseeable future. The version of Denuvo’s anti-tamper technology that Mass Effect: Andromeda pirates were able to crack could have been the iteration being used on Resident Evil 7, and it was cracked in less than a week after the survival-horror game’s release. With this being the

Nintendo has explained why the Nintendo Switch online service will cost money. These comparable services come with extra features, and the Nintendo Switch service is expected to follow suit. In the interview, Takahashi says that Nintendo is “working to prepare all of the features” and “details on the service will be available at a later time.”One confirmed feature is that the Nintendo Switch online service will include a free classic game every month. While the service isn’t exactly a selling po

Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon have completely revitalized the Pokemon franchise in a way that many gamers didn’t think was possible after twenty years. Fans the world over have remarked on the new games’ colorful and fun new Pokemon, and now Nintendo has announced one of the most hotly anticipated new Pokemon will finally be made available soon – the mythical Pokemon Marshadow is coming to Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon. Pokemon trainers have known about Marshadow since early November, when Pokemon

As seen below in the clip posted by the Twitter user Swiffy22, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild player shows how other fans can completely bypass the Lost Woods in order to get to the Korok Forest. How are you supposed to get through the Lost Woods again? With this being the case, Swiffy22’s method to bypass the spooky area will definitely save fans some time who wish to get to the Korok Forest without having to parse the pitiless puzzle of the Lost Woods.

A recently posted clip from the official Game Developers Conference YouTube page now reveals a highlight from Bungie’s own John Hopson, who ran a panel about user research in Destiny back in 2015. This was especially important when looking at the Vault of Glass raid, an extremely difficult challenge which spurred lots of record-breaking competitions as players tested their mettle against it. It turns out this actually brought a lower drop rate than just playing the game, but many players evident

Next up is the multiplayer shooter’s Spring Update, featuring the long-awaited Platoon system. Starting with the Spring Update, Battlefield 1 will shift away from a seasonal update system to a monthly one. The implication is that the Spring Update will launch in April, followed by the first monthly update being the May Update. In The Name Of The Tsar, Battlefield 1‘s second major expansion, was also discussed and teased. Additionally, three concept images tied to the In The Name Of The Tsar expa

In Persona 3, players could pick a male or a female protagonist to play as. “Every time the development on a new Persona game starts, this subject always comes up at the very beginning,” Hashino stated. ‘”Hashino continued, referencing Persona 3‘s storyline in connection to a female protagonist in comparison to certain plot and story aspects that are central to recent installments, like Persona 4 and Persona 5. To get that real feeling of a personal relation between the player and character,” Ha

Overwatch‘s King’s Row Uprising event isn’t supposed to start until Tuesday, April 11th, but it appears as though the Xbox Store has prematurely revealed the event’s new skins. For example, we get a glimpse of a possible new Genji skin in the Overwatch Uprising comic that shows what his Blackwatch armor could have looked like. Beyond new skins, the image may also indicate a new look for the King’s Row map. It’s possible that players will be battling on a tweaked version of the King’s Row map aga
