Like most other live service games, Rocket Arena aims to keep fans engaged through the release of seasonal content, and now the game is entering Season 2. Rocket Arena Season 2 officially launches on Wednesday, October 7, and it brings with it a slew of new content for fans to check out, including the new playable character Leef. Leef hails from the Realm of the Ancients in Rocket Arena lore, and is a cat-like creature of some kind with a wooden mask....

Destiny 2 developer Bungie may be developing a medieval fantasy RPG, new job posts have revealed. The company is expected to make a big announcement tomorrow about the next season of Destiny 2 content but it seems that Bungie is thinking much further ahead. Bungie has three job listings on its site that seem to offer information about its new IP. A listing for an incubation investment designer said that “living inside a giant database of hundreds of baubles, weapons, and armor” should be “nothing new” to the hired Bungie developer and that they will also be comfortable “building a system to cleverly distribute those items in a necromancer’s dungeon....

From Software went back to basics with Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. Replacing the RPG elements and online components of the Dark Souls franchise is one of the most fluent and satisfying combat systems made in recent memory. Part of what makes Sekiro’s combat model so great is the number of options players have with dealing with opponents. Combat Arts are a core part of countering certain foes, granting unique attacks that excel at dealing with certain foes or situations....

According to statements made during an interview held between the Japanese video game magazine Famitsu and the Sony Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida, the original Shadow of the Colossus director, Fumito Ueda, didn’t have as big of a presence in the remake’s creation as he did with the initial PS2 version. While discussing the differences between the forthcoming remake and the PS2 version, Yoshida proclaimed that the remake’s intent was to display “how great the original work is, using today’s technology,” and went on to say, “Ueda-san wasn’t that involved much this time....

The JRPG genre is gaining popularity after the release of some praise-worthy titles like Persona 5. The JRPG moniker refers to RPGs that are made in Japan or that incorporate a Japanese animation style. This causes the definition of JRPG to be quite loose. There have been plenty of Western studios making JRPGs. In the end, it’s about sharing the love for the genre and making efforts to promote it to others....

Skull & Bones, the online multiplayer piracy game, had a massive new gameplay trailer unveiled during the Ubisoft E3 2018 press conference. The trailer introduces a previously unannounced game mode named Hunting Grounds. Ubisoft describes Hunting Grounds as a PvPvE mode where players group together to take down powerful enemies, and maybe turn on each other in proper Skull & Bones fashion, too. Within the Hunting Grounds trailer the player, burdened with pirate loot, encounters a Portuguese frigate – an AI-controlled ship....

This article contains spoilers for The Nevers episode 1 but not for future episodes. The Nevers is a series that often defies description. A Victorian-set fantasy adventure that features a gang of primarily young women who gain supernatural and superhuman abilities, it’s a story about everything from faith and prejudice to hope and change. Its narrative is sprawling and frequently confusing, with no real initial sense of how its disparate pieces connect to one another....

Thatgamecompany, the studio behind critically acclaimed indie darlings Flow, Flower, and Journey, simply does not miss. Traditionally, its games have made me listen to myself and feel truly lonely. Sky: Children of the Light, however, is a departure from the studio’s renowned single-player titles - it’s a multiplayer experience where you free spirits by reliving their memories as you fly through deserts, caves, and floating islands in the sky. I recently caught up with thatgamecompany co-founder and creative director Jenova Chen to understand what caused the revered indie studio to combine Journey’s design ethos with a new form of play....

Skyrim is an immersive world, and for dedicated players, it can feel something like a virtual second home. This is especially true with the Hearthfire add-on, which allows players to build their own homes. These mansions are far bigger and grander than any within the cities, as well as being customizable, allowing the Dragonborn to tailor their house to their own style. Building a house, though, can seem like a big task....

The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim seems to be the gift that keeps on giving, with new details coming out about the game some 7 years after it released. It helps that Bethesda continues to re-release (or port) the game on every platform under the sun, and in turn keeps the game in the conversation and the public eye. Just this week, Bethesda artist Jonah Lobe shared a fun little detail about his efforts in Skyrim, specifically with regards to the giants in the game....

The 10.1.0 patch for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has arrived and it has brought even more Final Fantasy content to the game, as well as a number of changes to multi-hit attacks used by different characters. Sephiroth might have been the most unexpected fighter added to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate so far, as no one was expecting another Final Fantasy rep. Square Enix had already allowed a Dragon Quest character to appear in the game, and fans were expecting someone like Geno or Sora to be the next fighter....

The next Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Spirit event, “Weaken Minions,” begins this Friday. One of the biggest things Nintendo hyped about Super Smash Bros. Ultimate was Spirits. In essence, Spirits replaced Trophies as the main collectible. Spirits grant the player certain abilities and defenses, such as starting the match holding a boomerang. This is a big gameplay feature in Adventure Mode: World of Light. Many fans have started debating if Spirits are superior to Trophies....

Just a few days after its reveal, a Sonic fan seems to have figured out what the trailer’s mysterious symbol means. No, it’s not trying to spell “zap”. During the tease for the next Sonic game, Sonic glows and runs through a forest which leaves a weird pattern in the ground. The trailer leaves us with this, and no indication of how to figure it out. Well, Twitter user 35DISORDER turned the symbol on its side and wrote out “Sonic Rangers” with the two symbols representing part of the game’s name, and it seems to have solved the puzzle....

Ever wondered why Shadow the Hedgehog never adopted 007’s first-person gameplay style? Look no further than Sonic Generations, where Sonic has been retro-fitted with a nauseating first-person mod that allows players to experience the game from the Blue Blur’s nauseating point of view. The first-person mod comes courtesy of Skyth, a self-proclaimed programmer and reverse-engineer who mods Sonic games. Skyth released a clip on Twitter earlier this week of what it looks like run through Sky Sanctuary Zone through Sonic’s eyes....

Whether gamers asked for it or not, soon there will be a 2D side-scrolling throwback to the original era of Sonic and his pals. The upcoming Sonic Mania game is one of two Sonic titles in development and this one plans to capitalize on nostalgia for the 90s era of gaming. To appeal to that throwback audience, the latest Sonic Mania trailer focuses on Knuckles making a run through the Flying Battery Zone....

Sonic the Hedgehog is the internet’s boyfriend of the video game industry, and as such he has gone ahead and made his debut as a VTuber. Sonic’s official Japanese Twitter account posted a small clip Thursday giving fans a first look at the 2D version of the Blue Blur speaking to his viewers, he greeting them with a smile as he says his signature “Hey guys!” before thanking everyone for celebrating his 30th anniversary yesterday....
