This Star Wars: The Book of Boba Fett article contains spoilers. The Book of Boba Fett throws quite a few new characters into the mix in “The Streets of Mos Espa,” as the city’s new daimyo continues to deal with threats to his throne. A (final?) confrontation with Black Krrsantan and the Hutt twins ushers in a new band of angsty bikers now under Boba’s employ as well as a cameo by a rancor keeper you might recognize if you’ve followed showrunner and director Robert Rodriguez’s career....

The Cosmodrome is returning to Destiny 2 this fall with the coming Beyond Light expansion. Yesterday was filled with surprises for Destiny 2 fans. We not only found out more about the fall expansion, Beyond Light, but also 2021 and 2022’s expansions as well. There was also another surprise announcement: the Cosmodrome is returning to Destiny 2. Original Destiny fans will fondly remember the Cosmodrome as their first taste of what Destiny had to offer....

Now that The Division 2 is officially released, many players are certain to be focusing on the game’s PvE content, working towards reaching level 30 and the endgame grind. However, for those that have already completed the game’s story, or are simply looking to PvP, the Dark Zones could be of more interest, and some players may be wondering how to go Rogue when they reach these zones. How to Toggle Rogue 2....

It has been three weeks since The Division 2’s release date, and a new update has recently brought a number of changes to the looter shooter, along with the highly anticipated addition of World Tier 5. While indeed many players have been excited to jump into The Division 2’s World Tier 5, endgame content for those with high Gear Scores, some are voicing frustration about how loot has been implemented in this new content....

When it released back in March 2016, The Division attracted the interest of gamers around the globe with a semi-plausible pandemic story involving tainted bank notes being distributed on Black Friday. This led to the decimation of New York’s population, and as support structures wore down, the fall of organized civilization itself. Ubisoft confirmed two years ago that a movie based on the events in The Division was in the works, and now it has an action-oriented director attached to it: David Leitch....

Ubisoft confirms via their weekly state of the game address, that the first update for The Division launches next week on all platforms though no details were given. In a move that somewhat echoes what Bungie does for its shared world shooter Destiny every Thursday, Ubisoft has released the inaugural state of the game address for The Division. This weekly update is intended to keep the player base up to date with the latest information from upcoming additions or changes to some community based content that the studio feels players might enjoy taking a look at....

Bethesda’s chief game creator Todd Howard confirms that The Elder Scrolls 6 is currently in development, however, the game is still ‘a very long way off.’ Bethesda’s E3 2016 press conference was full of exciting reveals and big game announcements. From the confirmation that Arkane Studios is working on a Prey reboot, to the Dishonored 2 gameplay debut that finally showed off Emily Kaldwin’s powers in action, there was a lot for fans to smile about....

In The Evil Within, players were tasked with finding keys to open locker doors back at their safe house to earn helpful items. In The Evil Within 2, players are once again asked to scour the game world for keys, which are hidden inside statues that can be destroyed with a melee attack. Finding all 32 locker keys in The Evil Within 2 is no easy task. The bulk of the locker keys are missable, so if players advance the story too far, they will have to restart the game completely to find them....

After years of viral trailers, acclaimed gameplay showcases, and several delays, Cyberpunk 2077 is a mere three days away from its official December 10 launch. With players waiting for the game since its first teaser debuted seven years ago, the big question on everyone’s minds is whether CD Projekt Red has managed to pull off what looks to be its most expansive RPG to date. With the game’s release right around the corner, critics are able to share what they think about the highly-anticipated sci-fi RPG, with the embargo for Cyberpunk 2077 lifting earlier today....

This article contains The Green Knight spoilers. A man who would be king lies crouched, cowering on his hands and knees. It is the day he’s feared all year and, seemingly, the hour of his death. And yet, within this moment, after he’s seen his life flash before his eyes, Dev Patel’s Gawain has never appeared taller or more free from the terror of self-doubt. The character is still not technically a knight, but as he throws away a magical green sash and asks his executioner, a Green Knight made of bark and flower, to do his worst, Gawain truly has achieved the greatness he’s striven for in King Arthur’s shadow....

When Emme “Negaoryx” Montgomery spoke out about the harassment she endured following the dead bunny The Last of Us meme, she revealed an easter egg in the game that was dedicated to that moment. Negaoryx started streaming in 2016, and in 2019, she streamed a playthrough of The Last of Us. A wildly emotional game, she was already tense from the events of the previous chapter after Joel becomes incapacitated and unconscious from the pain, forcing Ellie to care for them both....

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, there has never been a time where so many different types of people were gaming. However, there are many players who struggle with the overall accessibility of the very games they love to play. With this in mind, the team behind The Last of Us Part II have been hard at work to ensure that their game is as accessible as possible. Emilia Schatz is the lead gameplay designer at Naughty Dog, the studio behind The Last of Us Part II....

As a series, The Last of Us has never shied from difficult questions with unpleasant answers. The first game asked players to consider how far they would go to protect their loved ones, and, more crucially, what happens when they failed. And the sequel, more brutally, asks players to consider how far they would go in the service of vengeance. As the series’ most frequent protagonist, Ellie is the primary avatar for navigating those hard topics, but now that the credits have rolled on The Last of Us Part 2, where can her story go from here?...

Besides serving his role as the eternal hero for the land of Hyrule, The Legend of Zelda’s Link has quite a keen eye for fashion. Well, most of the time, at least. Link’s general design has gone through a few shifts here and there since his debut on the NES, with some of them solidifying themselves as the definitive versions of the legendary hero. Triforce Heroes on the 3DS took it one step further, showing three Links who just got really into cosplay....

Social media and modern advertising has changed the way video game consumers purchase games today. With the ability to go online, read reviews, or even watch people stream their games live, we often know exactly what we are getting when we purchase a video game. Yet times were not always that simple. Many gamers will remember earlier years scouring the aisle of Toys “R” Us or looking through toy store catalogues looking for the games we wanted to play with no way of really knowing which games were good and which ones were bad other than through word of mouth....

Final Fantasy XIII-2 is one of the best role-playing games of the year (read our review), but as anyone who has played all the way through it can attest, the ending explicitly sets the stage for a sequel. Just last week, it was reported that Square Enix is planning to make a Final Fantasy XIII related announcement at the upcoming Final Fantasy 25th Anniversary event taking place in Shibuya from August 31st to September 2nd....

A leak from last week has seemingly been confirmed now that Epic Game Store is giving away Civilization 6. It seems there are 2 more major free games coming in the next 2 weeks to wrap out the month of giveaways that started with Grand Theft Auto 5. Last week, EGS gave away GTA5 for free as part of their Weekly Free Games In 2020 plan. At that time, a screenshot leaked on Reddit that showed the next 3 games Epic would be giving away....

It’s been a tough year for video game developers. We’ve seen countless studio closures, even from the most successful of the bunch. Unfortunately, it seems the trend still hasn’t let up as STALKER developer GSC Game World has reportedly closed its doors as well. Development of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 is said to have ceased as a result and we couldn’t be more disappointed. The report first showed up in the Ukrainian publication UrkaNews, stating that S....

GSC Game World has released a new development update for Stalker 2. The video highlights a number features from the upcoming survival horror shooter. Faction costumes, weapon models, as well as some unexpected custom teeth tools for in-game NPCs were shown off. Unfortunately, there’s still no sign of gameplay. GSC Game World PR manager Zakhar Bocharov held a virtual tour about all-new improvements coming in Stalker 2. The developer diary was dedicated to the 14th anniversary of the first game in the series — Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl, which came to PC in March 2007....

At this point, everyone not playing Star Citizen has to be crazy or something. Why else would over 2.7 million people throw over $300 million of their hard-earned dollars at a game that began development nine years ago and doesn’t appear to be anywhere near finished? And likely never will be. Updates are regular and constantly filled with re-works of things that were supposed to be finished years ago. For example, the latest large-scale update that came at the end of April reworked the game’s doors....
