Shortly after the announcement of the release date of the new Tomb Raider game, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, a teaser trailer for the game has been revealed. The teaser trailer claims that players will be able to “experience Lara Croft’s defining moment as she becomes the Tomb Raider” in the highly anticipated Shadow of the Tomb Raider. The short teaser trailer for Shadow of the Tomb Raider reveals snippets of what Lara Croft will be encountering in the new Tomb Raider game....

Like how 2012 was the year of the bow, or how 2019 was the year of battle royale games, it seems 2020 is becoming the year of skateboarding games. This year there’s already been a Pro Skater remaster announced, along with several independently developed games like Session and Skater XL. Whether it’s the Tony Hawk fans, the Skate fans, or both, fans from all over were sorely missing a good skateboarding simulator in any capacity....

Long before the last Dragonborn started their journey in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim to destroy Alduin, Tamriel was ruled over by the Dragon Cult. This oppressive rule of the dragon kind was further promoted by Dragon Priests, which were powerful mages and ruthless individuals who acted as the right hands of their dragon leaders. Following the liberation of mankind from the Dragon Cult, many of these priests were killed or confined through magical means into various Nordic ruins and tombs....

Players who venture into Smite for the first time will likely appreciate the straightforward kit of Neith, the Weaver of Fate. With Neith, players learn how to navigate the map, defend structures, and even dish out punishment with her range-oriented abilities. Interestingly, despite her status as the go-to tutorial god for Hi-Rez’s MOBA, Neith boasts one of the easiest yet most efficient kits out there. Essentially, Neith’s abilities focus on “marking” her enemies and dealing massive damage by hitting the same targets....

While Sonic the Hedgehog’s reputation as a franchise ebbs and flows with the passing of generations, it’s hard to imagine a world where the blue blur isn’t inherently ingrained into the video game medium. This is a character who was once Sonic’s de facto rival as far as the industry is concerned. Things have changed considerably since, but Sonic persists as best he can. Like any franchise that goes on long enough, Sonic has evolved with time, introducing new characters and story beats to fill out its world....

Step aside, Mario. Sonic is about to be immortalized in Lego via the new Sonic Mania Green Hill Zone Set. There are a number of things that have to happen to a franchise for the minds behind it to know they have truly made it. One of those things is for elements of its franchise to be immortalized in Lego. It has happened to Star Wars, Mario, Batman, and now the world’s most famous blue hedgehog can also rest assured that he is truly iconic....

The ongoing coronavirus pandemic is causing some major happenings in the entertainment industry. When it comes to movies, it’s seen film companies release movies digitally much earlier than they would otherwise, and now that’s extended to the Sonic the Hedgehog movie, which premiered in theaters just last month. Paramount has confirmed that Sonic the Hedgehog will get its digital release on March 31, with a physical home media release to follow on May 19....

In the weeks leading up to E3 2013, Sony pulled one of their most covert moves ever, and one that may have helped them win the looming console war. And surprisingly, it has to do with eliminating motion control support rather than further committing to it. According to a source within Sony, the console maker decided not to package the PlayStation Eye with every PS4, and as a result lower the cost of the console by $100....

Sony has no intentions of slowing down following its successes over the past year. A study shows that PlayStation dominated TV advertising impressions at the start of 2021. However, Sony recently released a phone with a crazy-high price tag specifically due to its built-in HDMI port. Sony is primarily known today for its grip on the gaming market, although they have a shaky history when it comes to smartphones. Back in 2015, Sony announced it was shifting its focus to the PlayStation brand, partly due to massive competition from the likes of Apple and Samsung in the mobile market....

As the COVID-19 outbreak worsens with every passing day, almost every industry has been affected. In gaming, every convention and tournament due to take place any time soon has been rescheduled, if not postponed indefinitely. That said, the actual act of playing video games is seeing an upswing. Most of the games are a couple of years old or more, of course, but if anyone reading this has played every single one, we would be very impressed....

In South Park: The Stick of Truth, players were tasked with finding all the Chinpokomon hidden throughout the town of South Park. The sequel, South Park: The Fractured But Whole, has its own set of collectibles, but this time players are collecting Yaoi fan art of the town’s popular homosexual couple Tweek and Craig instead of Pokemon knockoffs. Some Yaoi fan art in South Park: The Fractured But Whole won’t be available to collect until players have completed the main quest and unlocked all buddy abilities as well as combat TimeFarts....

2006 was the year Stephenie Meyer released her young adult romance novel Twilight. Two years later, a film adaptation was released and it became a giant cultural phenomenon, bringing in fans who are called “Twihards.” Even though the hype for the Twilight Saga has calmed down in the past six years after Breaking Dawn Part 2, some people are quick to judge the flaws the books and movies have. In their defense, they had strong points, since there is a lot wrong with this series....

Spellbreak’s Design Director, Jesse Kurlancheek, has given us our first detailed look at the upcoming Chapter System. In a post to Reddit, Kurlancheek explains how Chapters will build on the world of Spellbreak and offer players more than a “simple Battle Pass.” Chapters are going to be the primary way in which new content makes its way into the world of Spellbreak. These will be released on a regular basis and will “combine new quest content with an evolving story, delivered every week, along with a series of long-term rewards....

Spider-Man: Miles Morales is one of the most highly anticipated launch titles for the PlayStation 5. With the launch of both the console and the game a little over a month away, many fans have already begun to pre-order Spider-Man: Miles Morales along with the PS5. Though, for certain fans who weren’t able to pre-order the game for one reason or another, they won’t have to worry about missing out on the bonus content....

In about less than a month from now, Spider-Man fans will finally be able to get their hands on a copy of Insomniac Games’ forthcoming superhero title that features an all-new story centered around the classic Peter Parker iteration of the famous Marvel character. Just a couple of days ago, the developer provided potential players with a brief rundown of what they can expect out of the game by way of a launch trailer, but now the studio has released a piece of footage that dives a little bit deeper into the project’s take on a massive open world New York City....

Splinter Cell movie producer Basil Iwanyk explains why the video game adaptation will do better than the Assassin’s Creed movie, noting the lack of a ‘specific backstory.’ Although it had some convinced that it would be a breakout video game adaptation, the Assassin’s Creed movie was a box office flop with domestic audiences. Not only did the film struggle to make bank at the box office but also the Assassin’s Creed movie received poor reviews and left many film critics and fans disappointed that it could not reverse the trend....

Final Fantasy 14 may be the Square Enix MMORPG that everybody’s talking about, but before that was 2002’s Final Fantasy 11, the franchise’s first take on the genre. While it’s certainly been overshadowed by FF14, it’s shockingly continued to receive support nearly twenty years later and after it was shut down on consoles, with more story expansions planned for 2021. There were also plans to re-release a mobile version titled Final Fantasy 11 Reboot, but news has broken that the project has unfortunately been canceled....

With the Resident Evil 3 remake on its way early next month, it seems fans are more excited than ever to jump back into the franchise’s popular third entry and once again go toe to toe with Nemesis. With a demo on the way and a ton of new gameplay details being shared, it seems Capcom is gearing up for a big launch too, allowing players to get hands-on with their next experience in Racoon City....
