Last year, Blizzard gave Overwatch players probably the best event they’ve done with Junkenstein’s Revenge, plus the skins were really great too. Blizzard has taken to Twitter to “tease” Overwatch fans with a short clip for their newest Halloween event, titled “Halloween Terror 2017. While Junkrat’s “Junkenstein” skin adorns the top of the logo, the lack of the name “Junkenstein’s Revenge” has us wondering if last year’s mini PvE game is returning for year two. Take a look:The nights grow coldAn

Pre-orders for the Xbox One X went live towards the end of last month and while some analysts believe the beefed-up Xbox console won’t sell well, UK retailers are already reporting that the initial shipment of Xbox One X consoles will not meet consumer demand. According to four retailers who spoke with MCV, retailers are reporting that they will only be stocked with less Xbox One X consoles than they had for the Xbox One’s initial release. Both small and major retailers are reporting a limited s

Back in May, we saw a former Halo dev make his move from being the Studio Head of External Development at Microsoft to working with Microsoft’s Mixed Reality team. Microsoft has announced that a mixed reality Halo experience will be releasing on October 17th. Halo Recruit will not be a full-fledged Halo experience, but more of an introduction to the series. “It’s a fun, brief introduction into the world of Halo,” said Alex Kipman, Microsoft’s Mixed Reality head. “You’ll see several iconic charac

With South Park: The Fractured But Whole’s release date coming soon, Ubisoft is looking to build hype for the game and this time, it’s a bit ridiculous. The game dev is holding a contest to find out who has the best fart and the winner gets their fart featured in the game. Ubisoft wants you to take out your phone or computer mic and record your own fart video. According to the terms of the contest, “Video sequences shall clearly show entrants farting.” In addition to this, the winner will be awa

Sony initially detailed the PlayStation 4’s latest system software update in the beginning of August after the update’s contents were leaked. The update brings a slew of new parental controls and family controls for the PlayStation 4, as well as a few other things, like a clock. Of course, update 5.0 wouldn’t have garnered so much hype if it was simply bringing parental controls and a clock. Up to seven family members (including you) can be in your family and use online features. The family mana

It looks like Stardew Valley meets Harry Potter, which incites a spell of giddiness upon anyone who thinks about it. The most obvious ones were Harvest Moon and Stardew Valley, there’s a lot we learned from that. How do I put together a game world that really hits home, [that] I just want to spend my time in?” Spellbound is planned to have a dating system, sort of like Stardew Valley, but more true to life. In other Chucklefish news, Stardew Valley now has a release date for the Nintendo Switch.

Last week, it was revealed that PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) developer Bluehole Inc. was in talks with Sony to release the game on PlayStation 4 after the exclusivity period with Microsoft has come to an end.

It’s Tuesday, and that means it’s time for the Weekly Reset to hit Destiny 2 and time for the extra long maintenance to keep you from doing things in the game. Bungie detailed the downtime (and detailed the coming fixes) last week, but you can get a refresher on when servers are expected to come back.

It has been roughly a year since a live-action adaptation of Sonic the Hedgehog was announced to be in the works. Sony has dropped the rights to the movie, perhaps because they thought that making a live-action movie about a blue hedgehog that likes to go fast wasn’t the best idea. Now, Paramount Pictures has grabbed the rights to the film. Paramount plans on bringing the Sonic movie to life by blending live-action with CGI animation (kind of like the live-action Death Note). Most of the team fr

The developers, Daybreak Games, have been humble about their success, attributing it to good timing and iteration of existing ideas. Despite this positive press, there are some who have an issue with Daybreak Games’ financial decisions. Chinese players have complained of lag-affected local servers, forcing them to join European or North American games. Instead of Bluehole doing more to support their Chinese servers, they say that they’re promoting an advertisement of a tool used to better access

Call of Duty regularly suffers from poor optimization on the PC, resulting in largely mixed feedback from users on Steam. Raven Software, who is developing the PC port of this year’s Call of Duty: WWII is looking to break that trend. “We really believe this is the year where the PC is going to excel,” Raven Software CTO Dwight Luetscher told PC Gamer. “Just in general, I think we’ve made a lot of what I’d call control tunings for the PC version that are very specific to the PC version, so it’ll

Cuphead is a beautiful game, but it’s also one that will relentlessly smack you around if you aren’t on top of your game. Naturally, just days after releasing to market, someone has already beaten all of the game’s bosses without taking a single point of damage and accruing an A+ ranking. Check it out:Note: Spoilers for the bosses of Cuphead follow. Along the way, Aeraloth uses no charms or the Dodge mechanic, which makes the runs just that much more insane. Cuphead is available now for Xbox One
