This week, Destiny 2 developer Bungie gave players a preview of the weapon changes coming with next month’s Beyond Light expansion. The post discussed reworkings of some archetypes, buffs to some underused weapons, and an overview of how the Adept Weapon concept will work for Trials of Osiris. But the biggest point of contention within the Destiny 2 community seems to be the treatment of hand cannons by Bungie. While the weapon class is still plenty popular in both PvE and PvP, many felt that that the viability of hand cannons in Crucible is relegated to a select few options....

As much as Destiny 2 has changed since it launched in late 2017, Bungie’s dedication to the Seasonal content schedule has remained stalwart. Season 4, the Season of the Outlaw, is quickly approaching its conclusion on November 27. From there, Destiny 2’s future is already well mapped out, with Bungie releasing information as necessary. This week, that was made abundantly clear with the reveal of Season 7’s name: the Season of the Shadow....

Earlier this year, survival horror fans were given a real treat when Resident Evil 7 brought the classic zombie slaying franchise into the modern era with a bang. Now, Capcom has offered some more details regarding its plans to release a remastered version of Resident Evil: Revelations before the end of the summer. Resident Evil: Revelations made its debut in 2012, and was originally exclusive to the Nintendo 3DS. It was well-received upon its release, and ultimately ended up being ported to home consoles, and eventually was followed by a sequel that took full advantage of non-portable hardware....

Not too long ago, Capcom showed off additional footage of the forthcoming Resident Evil 2’s gameplay in the Raccoon City Police Department, revealing even more of the survival horror remake’s gory scenes and eye-popping visuals. Undoubtedly, this particular video and plenty of others have fans champing at the bit for the updated version of the original 1998 classic, and the publisher and developer recently announced that it hopes to replicate this enthusiasm with other older properties in its stable of IPs by giving them the remake treatment after RE2’s release....

When it comes to grand, turn-based strategy, the Civilization series is one of the old masters. The series endures today through Civilization 6, the latest entry. Thanks to the New Frontier Pass, it’s clear Civilization 6 is here to stay, and more passes are real possibilities for the future. The hex-based 4X gameplay style of Civilization 6 is familiar to many, and daunting to the uninitiated. With gameplay that focuses on building cities, exploiting the land, and creating a powerful nation, there are many ways to win the game....

The more things change, the more they stay the same. That may be the overriding theme of Clerks III, the third, and perhaps final, entry in writer-director Kevin Smith’s Quick Stop convenience story trilogy that has been the anchor for nearly his entire canon of films. While certain life-shaking events have taken place in the 16 years since Smith made Clerks II—events which we won’t reveal here—the new movie gets the most mileage out of familiar situations and characters in the orbit of the Quick Stop, the fictional New Jersey store based on Smith’s own early work history at a convenience store before he became a filmmaker....

Netflix might as well be the San Fernando Valley, since the streaming giant has karate on its algorithmic brain, thanks to escalating hype from hit television acquisition Cobra Kai. Indeed, the series has just nabbed an advance fifth season renewal, arriving on the heels of a status-elevating Emmy nomination for Outstanding Comedy amongst other nods. The move occurs as the show’s slowly-teased upcoming fourth season heads toward a still-date-less December release window....

It’s fair to say that the hype for Code Vein, a new action-RPG from Dark Souls publisher Bandai Namco, was deflated a bit when it was discovered that the game wasn’t tied to the Dark Souls series at all. But while Code Vein is not explicitly a Dark Souls game, its new “Bloodlust” trailer shows that it will feature a similar combat style as Bandai Namco’s premiere action-RPG franchise. The new trailer for Code Vein sets the stage for the story, and also gives players a glimpse at the Dark Souls-style combat....

If there’s one thing that Microsoft has been doing well recently it’s securing exclusives for the Xbox One. The platform holder (which is currently being overshadowed by Sony and its PlayStation 4 in terms of sales) has been locking down a number of noteworthy exclusives as of late, but one blockbuster that Xbox fans are waiting on is the return of Gears of War. After Microsoft purchased the Gears of War property from Epic Games earlier this year, Gearsheads have been waiting with bated breath to get even a glimpse at the new game....

Unfortunately, it’s been fairly consistent that Ubisoft has given its Assassin’s Creed women the short end of the stick. Whether it was in the games or behind closed doors, the women of Assassin’s Creed haven’t always been treated with the respect they deserve. Aya, the mother of the Creed, was supposed to be the main protagonist of Assassin’s Creed Origins, but her character slowly got diminished until she was a shell of the original pitch....

Since making its debut earlier this year, Conan Exiles has received a lot of heat for featuring the ability to modify the size of genitalia of the on-screen avatars that players create and utilize. This includes the private parts of men and woman alike, and it sounds like Europeans will be able to continue doing just that when the game arrives through Xbox One’s Game Preview Program. North American gamers, on the other hand, will instead be seeing their characters wearing corresponding undergarments to hide their physics-based shame....

Henry Cavill is confirmed to be playing the part of Geralt in Netflix’s upcoming Witcher TV-series. Last month we’d heard reports that British actor Henry Cavill would love to play Geralt in Netflix’s new show. Apparently, he’s a big fan of the game franchise and an even bigger fan of the books. In an interview with IGN, Cavill said he’d “absolutely” be on board as Geralt and that it would be an “amazing role....

Although specific details about Hogwarts Legacy are still being kept under wraps by developer Avalanche Software, it is without a doubt that the upcoming game’s core concept is something that Harry Potter fans have long been asking for. In its initial trailer, Avalanche revealed that Hogwarts Legacy is an open-world RPG game set in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. However, Hogwarts Legacy soon found itself in the middle of never-ending controversies....

Last July, developer King Digital announced that it is developing Crash Bandicoot: On the Run, which is a mobile game set in the universe of Crash Bandicoot. Alongside the initial announcement, King Digital released a trailer showcasing the gameplay of the upcoming mobile title, confirming that it is an endless runner type of game. Now, Crash Bandicoot: On the Run is expected to arrive on March 25, 2021, based on its listing in the App Store....

Quickhacks are extremely powerful tools in Cyberpunk 2077, giving players the ability to easily deal with a variety of dangers from a distance. To maximize the efficacy of these quickhacks, fans should work to raise their Quickhacking level, and that can be in a number of different ways. Undoubtedly the fastest of these ways is to use a Skill Shard glitch in Cyberpunk 2077, and this guide will detail exactly how it is performed....

A new advertisement for Cyberpunk 2077 teases an in-game concert featuring Johnny Silverhand, the character played by Keanu Reeves. Developer CD Projekt RED confirmed Reeves’ inclusion in the game with a surprise Cyberpunk 2077 trailer revealed at E3 2019. On Reddit, a fan has shared a clip of Silverhand’s band, Samurai, performing a concert in a new ad for the Cyberpunk 2077 Xbox One controller. The camera circles Silverhand slowly as he grips his guitar with his silver, cybernetic arm, before he begins to shred and amp up and enthusiastic crowd....

With Cyberpunk 2077 now set to launch on December 10, many are likely considering purchasing the game alongside their PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X. The title will provide an enhanced experience for next-generation console owners in 2021, with CD Projekt Red promising that a future update will ensure the game utilizes the power of both platforms. Luckily for those looking to play Cyberpunk 2077 on either new console, the studio has released a gameplay trailer showcasing what the game will look like on the Xbox Series X in a recent Night City Wire clip....

One of the gangs in Cyberpunk 2077 are The Mox - a group of people who used to work for the other gangs. Many Moxes are sex workers. “I think saying it’s a gang of sex workers is a bit of a simplification,” quest director Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz explained. “It’s like a group that was composed of people that were working for the gangs in the past, right? A lot of sex workers were working for the gangs, but they wanted to become independent, so to speak....

Many Twitch streamers have formed a following that can be rivaled to YouTubers. As their full-time or sometimes part-time job, fans are more connected to them and the support is intense. Ranging from video games to cosplay, there is a variety of categories Twitch offers for anyone to enjoy. Sometimes, however, there are moments where Twitch bans have occurred that are either absurd or reasonable. These bans can either be temporary or in worse cases, permanent....

Hitting earlier this May, fans of Dead by Daylight on PC and consoles have likely already gotten stuck into the game’s Silent Hill expansion. Bringing a brave new survivor and a horrifying killer to the game, it was remarkably well received, marking the first video game collaboration to make its way to the popular asymmetric multiplayer horror experience. Following its success on PC and consoles, the pack is set to hit Dead by Daylight Mobile today, meaning the vast player base currently enjoying the game on portable devices can get their hands on it just in time for Halloween....
