Gamers who want to experience everything Star Wars Battlefront has to offer will be able to do so by purchasing the Season Pass, which includes special perks versus buying each expansion pack separately. The Season Pass will include a special “Shoot First” emote, two weeks of early access for each expansion, and all four upcoming expansion packs to the game....

Since the first teaser for Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order was released just days ago, a number of details on Respawn Entertainment’s upcoming title have continued to trickle out. These details have included things like the fact that Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order will not have microtransactions and that it will run on Unreal Engine. Now, only hours before the reveal event, it appears that a release date has leaked as well....

The world runs on energy. It’s how planet Earth and everyone on it lives their lives, and though it may have magic, monsters, and Dinosaur Eggs, everyone’s favorite farming game Stardew Valley can be surprisingly down to earth. Just take the Battery Pack item, for instance. This handy item is necessary for the crafting of several electronic/machine-related items, including the Crystalarium, Lamp-posts, and Mini-Jukebox, to name a few. It’s also required in several important quests in the game, so it’s very important to know how to get a good, steady supply of them....

The Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League trailer just dropped, and it has quite a few hidden details that can be easily missed. Here’s a breakdown of what’s happening in this action co-op superhero title. 11 Brainiac’s Ship The trailer starts with an ominous skull-like ship that’s entangling the town of Metropolis, Superman’s home. This is owned by the malevolent Brainiac, an alien being with high intellect. In the New 52 run of comics, he is known as the collector of worlds, and has attacked Earth in the past....

Take-Two Interactive, Rockstar Games’ parent company, has plans to release more than 90 games in the next five years. The next game that the company will be releasing is the XCOM 2: Collection for Nintendo Switch, which will be published under 2K Games. In a new financial call, Take-Two Interactive confirmed that it has 93 games planned for release “over the next five years through fiscal 2025.” 63 of these games are “core” games and 15 of these 63 will be releases on new platforms, said Take-Two Interactive president Karl Slatoff....

Take-Two Interactive has been very busy lately, and its Fiscal Year 2021 is off to a fantastic start. Between whispers and rumors about Grand Theft Auto 6 and subsidiary Private Division signing a deal with three indie game studios, the company far outpaced its own expectations. Net revenue for Quarter 1 of the Fiscal Year 2021 (January 1st to March 31st) reached $831 million dollars, and more than half of that was attributed to recurrent consumer spending in the form of game subscriptions, among other things....

Linda Hamilton with a rocket launcher. A gloopy shape-changing robot. Arnold Schwarzenegger with a cool beard. The trailer for Terminator: Dark Fate was filled with elements designed to appeal to fans of the long-running, and often lackluster, sci-fi franchise. But none were as important as a simple block of text declaring, “Producer James Cameron Returns.” While Cameron created the franchise with the stripped-down The Terminator in 1984, and then returned with the definitive action blockbuster Terminator 2: Judgment Day in 1991, he remained hands-off for everything that followed....

Nintendo has revealed that the next Maximus Cup event in Tetris 99 will involve a theme based on Super Mario All-Stars from the Super Nintendo. Super Mario All-Stars was a compilation of four Super Mario games on Super Nintendo that was originally released in ‘93. It was notable for containing the first official English release of Super Mario Bros. 2, which was localized as The Lost Levels, as Super Mario Bros....

In the original Pokemon anime, there were high expectations for Ash Ketchum on his way to becoming a Pokemon Master. Whilst he didn’t catch as many Pokemon as his rival Gary, he made the most of what he had. Statistically, some of his Pokemon were better by their win ratio, some became stronger over time, and some were just generally overpowered. However, there were other trainers in the anime that also packed a punch when considering their win ratio....

10 Real Auto-Battling The fact that Yakuza: Like A Dragon has an auto-battle option is a miracle. Not all RPGs include it. That said, it isn’t truly automatic because one still has to input combo codes for specials as well as timing blocks to reduce damage. Adding in a feature to have everything automatic would be good for more casual fans. Also getting a fast-forward option, even out of auto-battle, would be good....

Expectations for anime being released in 2018 reached all-time highs as the genre continues to grow in popularity. Studios are being given bigger budgets to work with and there’s more content being produced than ever before. Naturally, not all of it is good while other series are knocking it out of the park. Judging what is the worst and best anime is difficult. There are countless genres in Japanese animation, and not all of them resonate with fans....

The RPG genre is perhaps the most impactful genre in the history of gaming. So few games released nowadays that don’t include RPG staples, whether that be character progression, looting systems, crafting, or non-linearity. With so much freedom in design comes a lot of experimentation, and it can be very hit or miss. 2019 was an alright year for the genre. We weren’t hit with any generation-defining titles that will be remembered for decades, like Skyrim or The Witcher 3, but there were definitely some quality titles that may warrant a revisit down the line....

And just like that, Shawn Ashmore has completed his superhero acting journey from ice to fire. The X-Men actor (who portrayed ice-wielding mutant Bobby Drake in X2) will be joining The Boys season 2 as fire-based superhero The Lamplighter. The announcement was accompanied by a first-look photo. We’ll be darned if Ashmore doesn’t look just like his X2 counterpart John Allerdyce a.k.a. Pyro. “We were thrilled that Shawn — who is, let’s be honest, an OG superhero — wanted to play the crucial part of Lamplighter....

Ubisoft is revealing the patch notes for The Division’s 1.0.2 update, including greater Challenging rewards, lesser Dark Zone rogue penalties and more. Wave goodbye to the Bullet King, The Division players. Ubisoft is on the warpath. Today the developers of The Division unveiled their plans for the first major post-launch patch to the online multiplayer shooter. Patch 1.0.2 will be made available starting on March 22, after the scheduled serve maintenance that takes place in the early hours of the day....

Waiting for The Elder Scrolls: VI isn’t fun. A quick development cycle is the last thing we can expect from Bethesda, though it is understandable with Starfield looming. Now with E3 cancelled, the hope of receiving concrete information about the upcoming entry is a faraway dream. Luckily, fans have already conjured up a number of compelling theories surrounding the mysterious title. High Rock/Hammerfell Theory So far, Redditor “kaylenivy” has constructed the most compelling argument regarding its potential setting....

This article contains The Falcon and the Winter Soldier spoilers. We knew Bucky Barnes spent a lot of unexamined time in Wakanda after the events of Captain America: Civil War. And we certainly expected it to be mentioned in Marvel’s The Falcon and The Winter Soldier to some degree. Even still, it was a pretty massive surprise when, at the end of the third episode of the new Disney+ Marvel streamer, Bucky finds a trail of Kimoyo beads leading him to Wakandan bigwig Ayo, a major guest appearance from a Black Panther character....

This The Handmaid’s Tale review contains spoilers. Was that the end of June and Nick? It felt like goodbye. When Nick told June to try to be happy, and then took his wedding ring out of his pocket and put it back on his finger, there was a sense of finality. Those two live in different worlds now and their across-the-barricades love faces impossible odds. Just look at the symbolic distance between them in that wide shot outside the school....

Creating an overpowered character in Sony and Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us Part 2 is easy because of all the unlockable upgrades and supplies that players can find throughout the world. However, there are many steps that players will need to take to ensure that their combat sequences go smoothly and don’t end up in the player dying multiple times. It is easier to make the playable characters stronger in Part 2 than with Joel in Part 1....

The Last of Us is one of Sony’s all-time most acclaimed exclusives, so it’s no surprise fans are waiting with baited breath for any and every tidbit from the devs behind the upcoming sequel, The Last of Us 2. Today, Vice President of Naughty Dog Neil Druckmann teased the E3 2018 reveal of The Last of Us 2 with a still from the trailer, and the hype is real. Druckmann, who also served as director for The Last of Us, shared the screenshot to his followers on Twitter and captioned the post with “T-Minus 3 Weeks....

Hard as it may be to fathom, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past is almost 30 years old. It remains one of the most famous Zelda titles ever to grace a Nintendo console, and was responsible for selling more than a few SNES units in the beginning of the 1990s. Decades later, gamers are still enjoying this action RPG for its charm, accessible gameplay, and a host of secrets that can be uncovered....
