Star Wars: Squadrons has been announced as one of the titles coming to Xbox Game Pass and EA Play. The popular dogfighting game is set to arrive on the game streaming service platforms next month. Released in October 2020, EA and Motive’s Star Wars flight sim has proven to be extremely popular. Fans have lauded Star Wars: Squadrons for its flight mechanics and absence of microtransactions, especially after the immense controversy of the feature with 2017’s Star Wars Battlefront 2....

EA has released more gameplay for the highly anticipated space shooter Star Wars: Squadrons at Gamescom.

The first gameplay for Star Wars: Squadrons was revealed at EA Play back in June where it was revealed the game would be a 5v5 team based space shooter....

In the Kingverse, there are monsters aplenty, but what of the heroes? There may be villains of every shape and size dwelling there, but Stephen King’s dark worlds are also inhabited by bright lights who keep the monsters at bay, brave beings of complex integrity who are tasked with questing through landscapes of pure terror while not losing their souls in the process. These are King’s heroes, his protagonists that act as a line of defense between sanity and the creatures of unknowable corruption that slither between the cracks of King’s stories....

As the March 2016 release date for Street Fighter 5 draws closer, Capcom has been ramping up their social media presence, revealing a number of new and old characters who will be present on the next iteration of Street Fighter’s character roster. Only a week ago, a new character named Rashid was revealed at the Games15 event in Dubai, adding even more ethnic diversity to the game’s already international cast. Just before that, fan-favorite grappler R....

Rocksteady Studios has revealed Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, which makes it the perfect time to take a detailed look at Harley Quinn, a character that has seen major development over nearly three decades. Harley Quinn: Origins Quinn made her first televised appearance in 1992 on Batman: The Animated Series in the episode “Joker’s Favor,” and soon became a regular as Joker’s sidekick and love interest. Quinn gained popularity in the coming years and was given an origin story in The Batman Adventures: Mad Love, a graphic novel from 1994....

The original Super Smash Bros. has something of a storied development. The now iconic fighter didn’t begin as a Nintendo themed brawling, but a generic party brawler. It wouldn’t be until later that Super Smash Bros. brought Nintendo’s all-stars into the fold, and from there the franchise quickly became one of gaming’s most premier. The original roster of eight was made up of Mario, Donkey Kong, Samus, Link, Yoshi, Fox, Kirby, and Pikachu....

Google Stadia may be about to change the gaming industry on paper but as it stands, most people would still prefer to stick with their trusty consoles. At last week’s GDC, Google made the groundbreaking leap into gaming that everyone expected it to. Well, not quite what everyone expected. The consensus was that Google would be revealing plans for its very own console. That is not the case, and instead, it unveiled Stadia to the world....

In the video game industry, the summer months typically bring with them a drought of major releases. However, summer 2017 is proving to be a different story, with a handful of big video game launches on deck for launch this season. Summer 2017 looks like it’s bringing something to the table for gamers of all tastes, from highly anticipated shooter sequels to quirky strategy games. For anyone looking to expand their collection of games over the next couple of months, we believe the following games are the most exciting releases of summer 2017....

Matt Reeves gives great interviews under ordinary circumstances, but at his DC Fandome panel for The Batman he gave us a whole lot to chew on including some new details about his recently announced Gotham PD set series on HBO Max. According to the writer/director the show will be set during “Year One” of Batman’s career which makes it a prequel to the highly-anticipated movie which takes place during”Year Two.” That would have been a big reveal in itself but Reeves had more to say about the upcoming TV series....

RPGs are often home to some of the grandest storytelling and character development that’s accomplished in video games, but the genre is sometimes viewed as impenetrable for outside audiences. Boasting titles that are infamous for their difficulty or complexity, such as Dark Souls, it’s hard to argue that the reputation isn’t earned. Games like Final Fantasylook like a lot of fun, but they also look complex in terms of their goals and battle mechanics....

Microsoft has always been a company that believes size matters. Compared to Sony, their consoles have always been big and bulky, and so too have their controllers. In fact, the very first Xbox controller released in 2001 was so big that many people found that they just couldn’t play games because they couldn’t reach the buttons. But if you’ve got big hands and know what to do with them, you can wrap them around a 2001-style Xbox controller to play modern games....

In an era of remakes and remasters bringing classic games back into modern libraries, there are a lot of players looking to see some of the most popular PS2 and Xbox titles return and reimagined. One series in particular that deserves to have its original collection brought to PS5 is .hack//Infection and its three connected sequels with carryover saving. Based on the popular .hack//Sign anime series, and the start of the many branching storylines that have continued from the extended series since, CyberConnect2’s first game on the PS2 is a massive innovation in gaming that deserves to be preserved....

For alternative kids of a certain age, 1996’s The Craft was more than a touchstone horror movie; it was an aspirational tale of independence. Maybe even more than the original’s director Andrew Fleming and writer Peter Filardi fully realized, a movie about four female friends using their witching powers to rise above (or is that levitate over?) the rigors of high school life and literally walk on water was intoxicating to Gen-Xers and older millennials who liked to paint it black....

It won’t be too much longer before gamers looking forward to Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 will be able to take part in the action-RPG’s Private Beta if they’ve pre-ordered the game or have been chosen to do so, as it’s set to go live later this week. Now, in order to give players a better idea of the kind of content they will encounter once their Agent reaches the highest levels of the third-person shooter, Ubisoft has decided to release gameplay footage depicting endgame combat against the Black Tusks faction....

The Marvel Cinematic Universe fundamentally changed how the entertainment industry works. As one of the most successful franchises of all time, the idea of a multi-billion dollar network of movies featuring iconic heroes isn’t the outrageous idea it once was. Soon, Dungeons and Dragons will be getting its own feature film adaptation, and if done correctly, it could launch its own cinematic universe. Not everything needs to be a cinematic universe, and in many cases, it could be considered detrimental, but what makes the MCU so special is its dedication to character, and Dungeons and Dragons’ emphasis on character building makes it a near-perfect match....

Two years since its announcement and little to talk about yet a continued presence in gaming conversations shows the pure pedigree and fan hype behind The Elder Scrolls 6. Recently, that discussion has been focused on platform, as many debate whether or not it’ll appear on the PS5 after Microsoft’s acquisition of Bethesda. But there’s still as much and as little to be said about the actual content of the game....

Fall is synonymous with hoodies, new hit shows, and a plethora of new video games to add to your video game collection. Let’s check it out! Kicking off the month of September is Diablo III’s triumphant arrival to the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on the 3rd, and Rayman Legends leaping onto every major console....

After years of waiting and asking, the fans finally have their dream come true. Nintendo and Microsoft worked together to bring Rareware’s Banjo and Kazooie into the roster of Super Smash Bros Ultimate. Arguably one of the highlights of Nintendo’s E3 presentation, the internet collectively lost its mind trying to comprehend the wonderful timeline we live in. Banjo and Kazooie are going to be the third DLC fighters in Super Smash Bros Ultimate, coming after Dragon Quest’s the hero....

The Nickelodeon Animation Twitter account has granted fans a little taste of the creative process behind Avatar: The Last Airbender, as a treat. The account, which provides updates and behind-the-scenes looks at Nickelodeon’s animated shows, recently tweeted a video of the original pencil animation test of the climactic duel between Zuko and Azula. Punctuated with clips from the finished scene, the video showcases a portion of the duel which served as the final crescendo of Zuko and Azula’s sibling tension....
