As many fans had hoped, Scalebound was featured during Microsoft’s E3 2016 press conference, and the developer Platinum Games detailed the ambitious scale of its forthcoming action-RPG. Not only did the studio detail its release on PC as a part of the plan for Xbox Play Anywhere, but it also showed its “biggest ever boss fight,” with a co-op gameplay demo for the title at the event....

CD Projekt Red has finally released Cyberpunk 2077 after spending 8 years in development. Initially, Cyberpunk 2077 was a hit, with the PC version breaking Steam’s record for concurrent users. Unfortunately, the same couldn’t be said for Cyberpunk 2077 on the PS4 and Xbox One due to the proliferation of bugs and glitches that had many players calling for a refund. A few days after launch, CD Projekt Red issued an apology, admitting that the studio did not spend much time on these versions of the game....

The Last Of Us Part 2 developer Naughty Dog has been praised for making one of the first triple-A titles to include a definitive suite of accessibility features, extending the game’s audience to players with disabilities that might prevent them from playing other big-budget games. Twitch streamer and disabled gaming advocate SightlessKombat announced on Twitter that he completed The Last of Us 2 without assistance from a sighted partner, and said it was the first time he was able to finish a game on his own as a gamer without sight....

Fans of Silent Hill have recently gotten the unexpected news of it crossing over with the hit asymmetrical horror title, Dead by Daylight. This crossover brings the infamous monster, Pyramid Head, as the game’s newest killer and protagonist of Silent Hill 3, Cheryl Mason, as the newest playable survivor. With this news, it seems that Konami wants to bring attention back to Silent Hill. There have been many rumors spiraling around the possible continuation or reboot of the famous horror franchise, but most agree that the next title would have to appear on the upcoming Playstation 5....

Easily the most memorable (and according to George Lucas himself, the most profitable) character in the franchise, Darth Vader is pretty much the face of Star Wars. His breathing, his mask, his voice, the fact that he’s a giant, muscled android man with questionable parenting skills, everything about him is memorable. Fans and scholars have poured over every bit of Star Wars media, both canon and not, to analyze this character....

Although the dragons had been mentioned several times in past Elder Scrolls games, they didn’t make their first appearance until Skyrim, where they were not only the main antagonists of the story but were also the source of the Last Dragonborn’s power to Shout. Despite there being numerous word walls and Dragon Priest dungeons to explore in Skyrim that shed some light on the nature of dragons, there are still many questions that are left unanswered about their existence and history....

Shahvee - A Woman With A Dark Past Gender: Female Hometown: Windhelm Occupation/Class: Thief Faction: Argonian Assemblage Shahvee, bless her heart, is the sole female Argonian that players can marry in Skyrim (without mods, of course). She lives in the Argonian Assemblage in Windhelm and works a staggering 12 hours a day on the tanning rack. Won’t somebody save this lovely woman from such an inhumane work schedule? Despite this workload, Shahvee is quite a positive person, choosing to bring happiness to her life rather than wallow in her situation....

Annualizing high-profile series is a relatively common practice these days - with plenty of sports, third-person action, and first-person shooter franchises pumping out one release each year. While many of these yearly installments tend to suffer from critical backlash for their lack of innovation from game to game, there’s no doubt that installments in the Assassin’s Creed, Madden, and Call of Duty franchises continue to out-perform prior entries. Modern Warfare 3 was the biggest entertainment launch in history and, as a result, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that another Call of Duty title is en route for 2012 (presumably from developer Treyarch)....

Although Resident Evil 3’s remake isn’t out yet, the demo is allowing players to get a taste of what’s to come once the full version releases. However, it would seem that some players are already taking issue with a certain section of the demo. They believe it was created by Capcom on purpose to insult Chinese fans. Some players in China believe that a puzzle involving a password is poking fun at a historic event that involved Japan invading China during the year 1931....

Despite the exciting possibilities the PS4’s dedicated processor for background processing will bring, Sony is still sticking with a disc-based delivery mechanism, for now. Though there was nigh on a mention of what media future PS4 games (Killzone: Shadow Fall, inFAMOUS: Second Son, etc…) would release on, Sony has now confirmed Blu-Ray discs will still be the dominant format. With the introduction of PS Plus and Day 1 Digital Downloads, Sony has taken bold steps to create a digital distribution platform that rivals anything available on the PC....

Despite the meteoric rise of online multiplayer gaming, Sony executive Shawn Layden believes the PlayStation 4 has not focused on that arena enough. The way in which most people game has changed drastically in the space of the past two decades. Not only in the obvious ways such as the improvements in graphics and the platforms we use, but also in the way that we interact with games. Thanks to the internet, most of the time we are playing with strangers on the other side of the world rather than alone or gathered around a screen with a few friends....

Video game publisher and developer Capcom unveils its creepy new television trailer advertisement for the forthcoming survival-horror title Resident Evil 7. At this point, Capcom has released plenty of promotional materials for Resident Evil 7, but the majority of them have only been accessible to fans online. With that being the case, the publisher and developer has finally put together a short 30-second advertisement for TV audiences that features creepy time-lapse visuals and brief segments of gameplay for the survival-horror title....

Resident Evil had a rocky start to the last decade, but regained its footing and came back stronger than ever with Resident Evil 7 in 2017. The recent remakes of the second and third games in the following years have continued this winning streak. 2021 is the twenty-fifth anniversary of the franchise, and the eighth mainline entry, Resident Evil: Village is set to release alongside this celebration, further continuing Ethan Winters’ story from the seventh game....

When Capcom revealed Resident Evil 8 at the first PS5 Showcase event back in June, some were surprised that the game was exclusively coming to next-gen consoles like the PS5 and Xbox Series X, skipping PS4 and Xbox One. However, it seems as though plans have changed, and now those on current-gen consoles who don’t plan on upgrading right away will be able to play Resident Evil 8 on PS4 and Xbox One....

BBC just dropped a trailer for its upcoming series The Watch, said to be inspired by Terry Pratchett’s Discworld stories about the Ankh-Morpork City Watch, and fans of the books were quick to render criticism of its inaccuracies. Though few carried as much impact as Pratchett’s daughter, author and video game writer Rhianna Pratchett (known for her work on games like Mirror’s Edge and 2013’s Tomb Raider), who had some choice words for the show’s creators....

Developer Hopoo Games has shared a list of milestones achieved by Risk of Rain 2, along with details on the free Anniversary Update releasing on March 25.

Risk of Rain 2 has sold over 4 million copies on Steam alone, where the rating is currently sitting on Overwhelmingly Positive from over 137....

One of the most anticipated games currently in development is From Software’s Elden Ring. Anxious fans are not-so-patiently awaiting news of any kind about the action-RPG. Yet, despite the overwhelming excitement for Elden Ring, From Software has gone almost entirely silent. After dropping a trailer during the Xbox press conference at E3 2019, little has been said or shared about Elden Ring. Part of the reason why may be the COVID-19 pandemic....

Epic Games has been teasing a mystery game for its next Epic Games Store free game. This has led to some anticipation building, because Epic traditionally reveals the next free game right away. A new rumor may know why Epic’s decided to keep the game a secret, as it claims that the free game will be none other than Grand Theft Auto 5. The free game, whether it’s Grand Theft Auto 5 or otherwise, is scheduled to become available Thursday, May 14, at 8:00 am PT....
