Microsoft has been on a bit of a shopping spree lately. At E3 2018, the Xbox One platform holder announced that it was purchasing several high-profile studios including Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice developer Ninja Theory, State of Decay 2 developer Undead Labs, and Playground Games, the studio behind the Forza Horizon franchise.

Anyone that has ever played a Warriors, or “Musou,” title will know how many enemies can appear on screen at once. Persona 5 Strikers had dozens, and yet that managed to be one of the most muted Warriors games. Samurai Warriors 5 is a traditional and explosive action game though, which is why you’ll be able to see up to 200 enemies on screen at once - but that’s not always the priority when making a game like this....

Rare has turned the successful launch of Sea of Thieves into an active post-launch, releasing its first major content update The Hungering Deep and starting up its biweekly Bilge Rat Adventures. But Rare’s eyes are already looking forward, both towards the five content updates remaining in 2018 and beyond. In an interview with Game Informer, Rare design director Mike Chapman was asked directly about whether Sea of Thieves could feature a Battle Royale mode....

It’s easy to forget that Sega is not its own company and is in fact a subsidiary of Sega Sammy, the holding company that formed when Sega and Sammy Corporation merged back in 2004. Both companies got started in Japanese slot machines way back in the day, but then ventured into video games. Sega went WAY further into games and hardware than Sammy, which tended to focus on publishing a few fighting titles like the Guilty Gear series....

Family is a tricky thing. Most people rest assured knowing that their family loves them….but does that mean their family likes them too?

Herschel is a salt-of-the-earth old world Jewish man who becomes quite literally salty when he falls into a vat of pickles and is perfectly preserved for a century....

Deep Silver will publish Shenmue 3 when it finally launches next year, over fifteen years after the previous game in the series....

While Potions and Bottles have been a part of The Legend of Zelda’s identity since the very beginning, Skyward Sword made some significant changes. Similar to Breath of the Wild’s cooking system, Skyward Sword lets you make your own Potions at the Infusion Shop so long as you have a Bottle and the right ingredients. Potions in Skyward Sword have a wide variety of effects and are downright mandatory if you’re playing Hero Mode....

Valheim has been on the market for less than a month, but players are already piecing together some incredible builds. The latest internet sensation is a recreation of Endor, which lets you easily traverse your swampy world without getting your boots wet. The Star Wars homage was posted to Reddit earlier this week, showing off a short clip of the Bright Tree Village-inspired walkways in Valheim’s swampy biome. The swamp biome is a challenging locale, filled with nasty creatures and mucky terrain that makes traversal a nightmare....

Speaking in an interview, Yoshida stated, “We need to take it seriously and adopt countermeasures,” but he did not elaborate on what those countermeasures may be....
