The company has issued an official statement on the matter, revealing that they will indeed release an updated cover of Irving in his new Celtics jersey, but it won’t be there at launch. “We are excited to be part of one of the most memorable NBA offseasons in history with Kyrie, our 2K18 cover athlete, and Isaiah, one of the stars of our 2K roster, trading places,” said Jason Argent, 2K’s Senior Vice President of Basketball Operations. “This isn’t an unprecedented event, a cover athlete being t

Final Fantasy XV has been all over the video game feed. First, the game released. But unlike Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy XIII, XV will most likely not be getting a sequel. “If you do that full sequel model of expanding on an IP or a series, it’s good in certain ways,” said Tabata. Tabata stated that the premium online component is a key example of why it makes more sense to keep things based on the Final Fantasy XV experience.

In an interview with Game Spark (translated by Gematsu), game director Yu Suzuki explains that the character models in the trailer are temporary placeholders. “Shenhua, Ryo, and the other characters are mostly temporary,” Suzuki said. He also stated that facial animations were previously implemented, but were “temporarily removed” for the trailer. “While there is little excuse, there are parts that are still lacking or parts that are not sufficient,” said Morishita.

Ask anyone what exactly Death Stranding is about, and you’ll find yourself hard pressed to get an answer. He says he is trying to apply similar principles to Death Stranding, as the game is intended to be a different sort of war game. My current project, Death Stranding, aims to fulfill this goal.” Death Stranding, however, will be built around the idea of using the “rope” to bring people together. Either way, Death Stranding is still as confusing as it was before, but it certainly sounds like t

Fortnite has been in the hands of players for about a month now, and like with many other games; it’s time for a content update. In a new trailer released on the game’s official YouTube channel, Fortnite will be getting an all-new Survival mode called Survive The Storm in an update that will drop next week on August 29th. Here’s the trailer:As you might imagine, Survive The Storm tasks players with holding out against the horde of husks during a nighttime storm. Participating in Survive The Stor

Now, according to a Nintendo of America tweet, the company will be porting the first seasons of Guardians of the Galaxy and Batman over to Nintendo Switch. Here’s the tweet:Get ready to defend the galaxy or become the Dark Knight when more @telltalegames adventures arrive on #NintendoSwitch! pic.twitter.com/4TncanjMgf — Nintendo of America (@NintendoAmerica) August 24, 2017Minecraft: Story Mode Season 1 released on Nintendo Switch earlier this week, and there had been rumblings that more of Tell

Larian Studios has never shied away from having a sense of humor. If you’ve ever seen any of the studio’s many Kickstarter videos on Divinity: Original Sin 2, there’s a delightfully casual nature about the way they do things. This also translates to in-game mechanics as well, such as players having the ability to turn foes (or NPCs) into chickens. The journey of Divinity: Original Sin 2 is constructed almost entirely by the player, as the overarching narrative and game mechanics function more as

It wouldn’t be a normal day if there wasn’t a new piece of news about The Batman. Director Matt Reeves has come out and said that The Batman is not part of the overall DCEU or at least that’s how he makes it sound. “When they approached me, what they said was: ‘look, it’s a standalone, this isn’t part of the extended universe,” said Reeves. Could this serve as a way for Ben Affleck to still play Batman without having to be in a bunch of movies that may or may not be appealing to him? Masters rep

When Mass Effect: Andromeda released earlier this year, well… fans were disappointed, to say the least. The [second] thing I’ll say is, for Mass Effect as a franchise, that has such a big fanbase, and you know I’ve seen people saying ‘Oh, EA’s not making another Mass Effect’. I see no reason why we shouldn’t come back to Mass Effect. “What we need to be careful though of is, whenever we bring Mass Effect back again, we have to make sure that we bring it back in a really [relevant] way, and in

Today Nintendo made its appearance in Gamescom 2017 at Cologne showing some gameplay of Mario Odyssey, Fifa 18 and other games. But there’s one in particular that caught the attention of the guys at Digital Foundry, and that game was the remastered version of Skyrim. According to them, the game seems to run at native 720p and locked 30 frames per second in handheld mode. The performance of the game is very good, with perfect frame pacing, no hitching or stuttering during traversal. Keep in mind

The pre-orders for the Xbox One X are up and it seems people are really interested in acquire the console. First noticed by Daniel Ahmad, an analyst at Nyko Partners, the Xbox One X is taking the lead at Amazon as 2017 Best Sellers. Microsoft described its new console as a “monster” offering more power and the ability to offer true native 4K. It’s no surprise that people that already owns a 4K HDR TV are considering to buy it. If the situation continues, the Xbox one X might outpace the PS4 Pro

Teased last week, Blizzard has released their newest animated short film for Overwatch, called Rise and Shine. The new short focuses on Mei and gives us a little inside look at the work she was doing at EcoPoint in Antarctica. Much like the previous short, which focused on Bastian, Rise and Shine also pulls at the heart strings, very much like old Pixar films. The short is 10 minutes long and can be viewed below. After viewing the short, I’m left with a few questions, as I’m sure most of the Ove

With its release just days away, Ubisoft has revealed that Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle will be getting a Season Pass. While games getting Season Passes are nothing new, it’s more the fact that it’s happening to a Mario-brand game that’s significant. Ubisoft revealed the news in an official press release earlier today alongside details about what we can expect from it. First off, Season Pass owners will have access to eight exclusive Steampunk weapons right when the game launches. Mario + Rabb

Last night, Kyrie Irving finally got his wish and was traded away from the Cleveland Cavaliers to the Boston Celtics for a pretty nice return. Unfortunately for 2K and their upcoming yearly release, NBA 2K18, the deal threw a bit of a monkey wrench into their plans as Irving is the game’s cover athlete and sports his Cavaliers jersey. Here’s the cover as it is now:Madden had a similar issue when it released its ’09 iteration, which featured Brett Favre on the cover. The NBA 2K Twitter account po

While Final Fantasy fans have been rejoicing at the announcement of Final Fantasy XV coming to PC, many grew concerned at word that the game would require a hefty 170 GB install. Fortunately, it turns out that the figures were an error according to Final Fantasy XV Game Director, Hajime Tabata. Final Fantasy XV is being demoed at Gamescom 2017 using a GTX 1080 Ti to show off the game running at 4K. Final Fantasy XV will be getting some improvements in its PC version, including Dolby Atmos and HD

If there’s one thing better than buying a game, it’s getting one for free. Fortunately, Shadow Warrior is a pretty solid offering for some fast paced and bloody action, and brings the same great gameplay from the 1997 classic of the same name, into the modern age. It’s worth noting that Shadow Warrior currently sits at a 93% positive Steam user rating out of over 15K users, so it plays well on PC. Shadow Warrior tells the offbeat story of Lo Wang as he sets out on a job to acquire a sword of gre

Assassin’s Creed: Origins draws ever closer to its release, and while it will be a stunning game on every platform it releases on, Ubisoft is focused particularly on its Xbox One version thanks to a deal between them and Microsoft. A Q&A was posted to the company’s press site and gave a few interesting tidbits on what exactly the Xbox One X version brings to the table. The Dolby Atmos feature will also enhance the game’s sound effects with greater fidelity “such as flocks of birds flying overhea
