Although most Destiny players were looking forward to all of the new content in the Rise of Iron expansion, those same people likely have their focus on one thing: the new Wrath of the Machine raid. Raids are the pinnacles of the Destiny experience, and getting to go into one blind, and complete it, is easily a highlight for every player. For Destiny: Rise of Iron, getting raid ready has been made a lot easier thanks to the new ‘Smart Loot’ system introduced with the April Update, but even then some might be struggling....

Just four weeks ago, the first part of Civilization 6’s New Frontier Pass, the Maya and Gran Colombia Pack, was released, giving players access to two new leaders, a new game mode, new Natural Wonders, and more. That said, developer Firaxis Games is far from finished with making adjustments and adding new content to Civ 6, and the company has recently detailed some more changes that will be released as free updates over the course of June 2020....

The stories found in the Assassin’s Creed franchise are all unique in their own ways. Each once truly helps define the personality of the protagonist and helps players get a better understanding of what motivates them. While most stories are standalone, with the exception of The Ezio Trilogy, there are always common themes or parallels that can be found between them. Assassin’s Creed 2’s Ezio Auditore da Firenze and Assassin’s Creed Unity’s Arno Dorian have quite a bit in common, though they also differ in their own ways too....

Oppressive and totalitarian leaders have become a common thread among the villains of Far Cry games, as antagonists are the stars of the show for Ubisoft’s iconic first person shooter series. Their bombastic and sadistic personalities are some of the most unique characters in video games in any Ubi game, let alone villains. Whether it was Vaas from Far Cry 3 or the Seed family from Far Cry 5, the series has had a wide variety of different flairs of insanity, and Far Cry 6 certainly won’t be stopping that trend anytime soon....

Control’s sales has shifted to a whole new reality as the game has now sold over two million copies and surprisingly just had its best sales month ever in November 2020. According to Gematsu, Remedy and 505 Games hit this number 15 months after its initial launch in August 2019 with 90% of the game’s 2020 sales from digital purchases. These recent numbers could be attributed to a few factors....

Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi takes place 10 years after Revenge of the Sith. The Empire has tightened its grip on a helpless galaxy, and most Jedi have been exterminated. Obi-Wan and Yoda, two of the greatest heroes the galaxy has ever known, are in hiding. A lot has changed since the Prequel Trilogy, none of it for the better. This is the grim reality in which we find the weathered Jedi Master, who now lives in a cave on Tatooine, just outside the Lars homestead where little Luke Skywalker is growing up a moisture farmer....

Since there are multiple paths to choose from when it comes to combat in Cyberpunk 2077, it can be hard to determine how to deal with larger missions. After the prologue, when you’ve been prompted to meet up with Takemura after recovery, it’s revealed that the two of you must break into Arasaka Industrial Park and install a virus onto Hanako’s computer to further sabotage the upcoming parade. There are different ways to approach this quest, as seen when you scan the perimeters with Takemura beforehand....

Since the game was revealed, way back in January of 2013, Cyberpunk 2077 has always had an air of mystery. That initial trailer seven years ago was confusing to say the least, with plenty of slow-motion, no-context scenes depicting the world of Cyberpunk. Things have changed a lot since then, but there’s still plenty of mystery surrounding the game, especially when it comes to a certain elusive and charismatic character: Johnny Silverhand....

This article contains spoilers for Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba season 1. Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba is one of the biggest anime series of the past few years and with a feature film and second season on the way that’s not likely to change anytime soon. The thrilling action anime series depicts the journey of Tanjiro Kamado, a budding Demon Slayer who’s recently become orphaned by monsters and had his sister transformed into one of their own kind....

While Destiny 2 fans continue their lament of the Eververse, Bungie’s team has begun to make their way back to the studio after a long holiday stretch to work on the road ahead for the science fiction shooter. As it so happens, the developer’s Community Manager, David “DeeJ” Dague, even went so far as to offer a brief studio update about the game so that Guardians would be aware that Bungie has returned from its break....

Season of Arrivals brings a new public event to Destiny 2. Called Contact, these public events are not on a timed rotation. Rather, they can be found static on specific plants much like the Escalation Protocol on Mars and the Alter of Sorrows on the Moon. Unlike Escalation Protocol, Contact is a single-stage encounter with an optional heroic version. Here is where to find Contact, how to complete the public event, and how to activate heroic mode....

Hand cannons have always been the best suited to those that like to get into the thick of the action, trading high precision aim for some serious power. However, with such a large selection of weapons and classes, a lot of weapons are going to give the player a disappointing experience. Exotics narrow that field down to a much more exclusive and powerful group, giving players something to strive for....

The second week of Season of the Chosen proved to be another big one as Bungie unleashed a new exotic quest on players. The scout rifle known as Dead Man’s Tale became available at reset through a new section of the Arms Dealer strike, leading to another new mission called Presage accessed from the Tangled Shore map. Like the Hawkmoon, Dead Man’s Tale is another weapon that had randomized rolls, allowing players to essentially farm for unique perks....

It’s Friday once again which means that for Destiny 2 fans it’s time to start hunting for the exotic salesman known as Xur. For now, Xur remains as he has since the launch of the Forsaken expansion, offering year 1 exotics with special perk rolls. Some hope for change could be on the horizon, however, as fans continue to wait to see what the Xur bounties are during the next season, in addition to the possibility of any Forsaken exotics finally making the cut....

With all of the snow, cookies, and holiday cheer from The Dawning even now at an end, The Tower has once again been graced by Lord Saladin. For the next week, the Iron Banner rages on inside of the Crucible with new pinnacle gear to acquire and giving those who didn’t finish the seasonal quest during the first arrival this season now have another chance to do so. Outside of the Iron Banner, this week’s reset also brought with it the final hunt of the season as the player and Crow finally track down the High Celebrant of Xivu Arath....

Reddit Destiny 2 players have noticed a glitch in the Tower that may have just spoiled Season of the Worthy’s endgame. Redditor PaperMartin was the first to report seeing parts of the Tower in ruins after loading into a glitched Tower instance. Several other players soon supported his findings with screencaps of their own smashed up Towers, and Destiny 2’s Reddit has been running away with it since. Guardians have spent the entire season building up Rasputin’s defenses to protect the Tower against the free-falling Almighty, but with Rasputin fully online, the Last City is celebrating with a three-week-long event: the Guardian Olympics....

Destiny 2 Public Events can provide players with an easy way to score some decent loot and also give people another PvE (player versus environment) activity outside of Raids and Strikes. But over the last week, players have begun to report that Public Events have been much harder to find. Initially, Destiny 2 players took to social media to complain that Public Events just aren’t available in the game. However, upon further investigation, fans discovered that Public Events are happening at the same frequency as they always were, but for some reason, the game is just not showing them on the map....

It is just hours before the first round of Destiny 2’s new experimental Crucible Labs begins and developer Bungie has yet to go into too much detail about how exactly Crucible Labs will work, but it is, in essence, a public test realm for players to be able to experience new PvP content in Bungie’s sci-fi shooter. A big question on players’ minds is whether Crucible Labs will get into testing sandbox changes, which would entail weapon balancing, changes to time to kill, class abilities, and more....

Seasonal Challenges are a new means of earning rewards in Destiny 2. Introduced in Season of the Chosen, Seasonal Challenges task Guardians with completing short tasks related to seasonal, core, or patrol activities. Bungie will add ten new challenges each week for ten weeks, meaning there will be 100 challenges in total. The second week of Season of the Chosen has brought a new batch of challenges, most of which are fairly easy to complete....

Bungie will be holding a Destiny 2 Showcase on August 24, although little is know about what will be revealed during the event. The brief announcement was made earlier today on Twitter with a single image that read, “Survive The Truth.” Fans are already speculating about what will be announced during the Destiny 2 Showcase, although the main hope is for a massive expansion reveal. The Witch Queen update is currently in development at Bungie, so fans are hopeful that a bit of gameplay will make an appearance....
