Star Wars: Squadrons will give players complete control over how realistic their experience is, EA has confirmed. The game will allow players to customize a variety of HUD elements and other aspects of the game, giving players either a “standard” experience or something a bit more authentic and hardcore, for those that want it. In an interview with IGN, Star Wars: Squadrons Creative Director Ian S. Frazier detailed the options players will have in Squadrons, which will range from things as simple as disabling the HUD, leaving players with the cockpit readouts for all essential information, to options disabling other players’ cosmetics, making the game seem closer to what fans have seen in the films....

Star Wars Battlefront reboots the sci-fi, fantasy first-person shooter franchise just in time for the revival of the film franchise. With the best graphics and sound effects to date, the game attempts to hook players in without the help of a narrative campaign. If there was ever a proper time to reboot the iconic Star Wars Battlefront series, we are living in it right now. A new Star Wars film hits theaters in just over a month and the whole world is swept up in the franchise’s hype train....

As EA looks to keep Star Wars Battlefront’s playerbase occupied, a free DLC drop is reportedly in the works, including a Tatooine map, new events, and outfits for Luke and Leia. With fans eager to play a new Battlefront game (Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron was released all the way back in 2009) it’s unsurprising that Star Wars Battlefront was one of the most highly anticipated games of the last 18 months....

The Steam Game Festival: Autumn Edition will run from October 7 to 13. Featuring free demos of upcoming games, the event has been confirmed by Geoff Keighley, the creator of The Game Awards. Organized by Valve, a game developer, publisher, and digital distribution company, the first festival was held during The Game Awards last year. Keighley revealed that Valve was working on another festival, which gives gamers a chance to test free previews of new games....

In Stranger Things season 4, however, Dungeons & Dragons takes on a more threatening context. In the season’s first episode, the D&D playing Hellfire Club makes note of an article conflating the game with devil worship. After that it becomes clear that the Hawkins community at large starts to view these harmless nerds with some suspicion. The notion that a childrens’ game could somehow lead to the embrace of a supernatural evil is one that’s sadly borrowed from real world events known as the Satanic Panic....

NBA superstar LeBron James jumped on the mic to surprise and completely discombobulate streamer Adin “Adin2Huncho” Ross during an NBA 2K2o stream on Sunday. Ross had already been playing with LeBron’s son Bronny, who’s already pretty famous himself ,and would ask for the Los Angeles forward to come on for a bit after hearing him in the background. By the looks of it, he did not expect LeBron to oblige. But the four-time NBA MVP acquiesced and came in for a quick chat....

Streets of Rage 4 is getting a retro Sega Genesis cover with its limited physical release. We love Limited Run Games. So many beautiful titles would remain digital-only if it wasn’t for the tireless work of this indie publisher ensuring that every game they make has at least a few physical copies out there for anyone who just can’t go without holding a game in their hands. Limited Run Games announced that Streets of Rage 4 will be added to their library of exclusive physical titles back in January, and now we finally have details to share on just what that entails....

At times Subnautica can be an absolutely gorgeous, terrifying, and immersive game. It’s easy to get lost in the alien world of 4546B as you zip around under the waves in a Seamoth submersible or with a handheld Seaglide. Taking the plunge beneath these alien tides in VR though is a completely different ball game. The extra immersion added with a VR headset is incredible and downright terrifying at times, especially if you’re exploring one of the Subnautica’s scary and dangerous biomes....

The wait for Rocksteady’s new project finally came to an end earlier today when Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League was finally announced. The game had a 20-minute segment at DC FanDome where new details were revealed and a trailer confirmed the title’s release window and launch platforms. Rocksteady’s Suicide Squad game leaked earlier this month when a poster featuring Superman’s head in crosshairs appeared. The studio stayed silent on the topic, saving all the big reveals for its slot at DC FanDome....

It seems that Super Mario Maker 2 will be missing all of the costumes from the first game in the series, as it has been confirmed that the game won’t include amiibo support and that the Mystery Mushrooms won’t be making a comeback. The original Super Mario Maker had items called Mystery Mushrooms that could give Mario a costume based on different characters. It was possible to unlock some of these costumes by completing in-game challenges, but some of them could be unlocked straight away by using an amiibo....

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate pro Elliot “Ally” Carroza-Oyarce is known as one of the best Solid Snake players in the world. However, the 28 year old Ally has announced that he will be retiring from playing Super Smash Bros. Ultimate professionally, having admitted to dating another professional Super Smash Bros. player, Zack “CaptainZack” Lauth, who was reportedly 16 at the time of the relationship. Ally was allegedly 27 at the time of his relationship with Zack, which both parties initially denied ever happened....

Superheroes. There used to be a time when they were elusive. You’d look up to the sky and could easily mistake one of them for a bird or a plane. Mystique (not the one from X-Men) was one of the main reasons people got so obsessed with them. You’d see them once a week, power through the issue, and spend the rest of the week wondering what master plan Batman would pull out of his ass to get out of whatever mess he’s in....

Although some may not have heard of it, The Surge is the newest release from Deck 13 (Lords of the Fallen) and it is being called Dark Souls in a sci-fi setting. Those interested in The Surge but who still don’t know much about the game can check out the review here. It may have launched last week, but there are still several launch-week discounts available at various online retailers, some as high as 20% off for the PC version....

The Fire Emblem series totes a massive cast of characters, with each entry in the series containing a wide variety of characters a player can utilize in their army. While some characters immediately appear to be worthwhile inclusions to one’s forces, other characters are much more useful than they may appear at first glance. Whether it be their design, class, or their stats, these characters’ lackluster first impressions may hide excellent potential....

Ten long years ago, back in a lost era when Rockstar Games still developed story DLC, Red Dead Redemption Undead Nightmare was released on the Xbox 360 and PS3. Packed full of apocalyptic horses, hordes of zombies, ancient curses, and one hell of an entertaining eight-hour story, here’s why the open world horror genre has yet to match the genius of Undead Nightmare. Undead Nightmare takes place towards the end of Red Dead Redemption’s story, right before the famous climax....

It’s no secret that there are a ton of great ghost-type designs out there. Ghost Pokémon, for the most part, are incredibly well-done, and almost every design is a creative take on spooky lore or themes. Even most of the evolutionary lines are hard to choose from, as each form is a design. After tons of consideration and looking through designs over and over again, these ghost-types are some of the most creative in the series....

Steven Spielberg’s Raiders of the Lost Ark was released in 1981 to huge critical and commercial success, making a corresponding game inevitable. The tie-in game hit the Atari 2600 a year later, and the whip-cracking archeology teacher has had over 20 gaming adventures since. The Indiana Jones games have been spread over an impressive array of consoles, from tie-in games on the Atari 2600 and Commodore CDTV to newer adventures on the Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii, and PC....

This article spoilers up to The Boys season 3 episode 5 and minor spoilers for all of Supernatural. Jensen Ackles played Dean Winchester for 15 years on Supernatural – and he’ll be doing so again, in voice-over, for CW’s The Winchesters this autumn. Of course, Ackles is a professional actor and entirely capable of playing more than one character, and like his co-star Jared Padalecki (now playing Walker, Texas Ranger, for the CW’s Walker) he did other things during Supernatural’s run as well....
