It looks like gamers of the western world will have to wait a little longer for the PS1 classic Monster Rancher 2 to be ported, as it’s staying in Japan for now. There have currently been no talks of a global release yet, but the gaming community in the east can enjoy the iOS, Android and Nintendo Switch ports this year. Famitsu magazine posted a few screenshots of the converted version that will feature 400 collectible monsters and include some improvements within the game....

Much like Hades, Curse of the Dead Gods is a top-down, death-defying, intense, and blood-soaked action rogue-lite, not to be confused with roguelikes. Also much like Hades, Curse of the Dead Gods has been in early access for close to a year before releasing to the masses, but that all changes with today’s announcement. Early access can sometimes seem to go on forever, just look at Fortnite’s 3 year-long beta treatment, but most of the time early access is a great way for developers to work out bugs, balance mechanics, and fund the development of the game up to release....

It’s been a year since Cyberpunk 2077 shocked and awed its audience with a gameplay demo of CD Projekt Red’s latest project at E3 2018, and everyone is likely excited that the developer has confirmed its return to E3 2019. It’s uncertain what could be learned as a result of its presence at the event, but it will be interesting to see if there are any changes due to the recent addition of a new design director....

Despite numerous technical hiccups that will, hopefully, get fixed soon, Cyberpunk 2077 has made a strong impact on many players. The world, story, characters, and aesthetic of Cyberpunk 2077 has given rise to a lot of inventive fan creations, whether that’s art, analysis videos, or cosplay. Though, in terms of the latter, one impressive individual created an elaborate cosplay of one of the game’s most beloved characters. For many players, the story and characters of Cyberpunk 2077 are the highlight of the game....

Although production details for Cyberpunk 2077 remain relatively scant at this point in time, Mike Pondsmith, the creator of the 1988 tabletop version of the title, has now confirmed that CD Projekt Red’s next release will feature several classes that can be construed as somewhat unconventional in terms of video games. Instead of traditional character types one would see in a typical science fiction game such as soldier or scientist, Cyberpunk 2077 will have classes like journalist, executive, rock star, and more....

The upcoming open-world, action-RPG, Cyberpunk 2077 has seen multiple delays this past year and while fans seem skeptical of its December release, a new report indicates that the game may be ready to release this time for real. As it seems, the case cover of both the PS4 and the Xbox One version of the game was posted on the popular social media platform Reddit, thereby confirming that the game is finally ready to be shipped....

Believe it or not, the release of Cyberpunk 2077 is almost here. Highly anticipated and repeatedly delayed, Cyberpunk 2077 is finally launching in just a few days. CD Projekt Red’s long-awaited RPG releases on what is turning out to be a big day for gamers, December 10. The elaborate multi-platform title lets players explore the six distinct regions that comprise the dystopian Night City. The official Cyberpunk 2077 Twitter is providing a detailed guide on the exact release times of the game around the world....

Akin to its “big brother,” The Witcher 3, Cyberpunk 2077 will also feature free DLC the likes of which will undoubtedly make said predecessor look like a fan-made project. Still, if The Witcher 3’s Blood and Wine is anything to go by, Cyberpunk’s expansions will be on an alternate level of insanity and detail. Confirming this news in the form of a Tweet answering a fan question, the Cyberpunk 2077 Twitter account proves yet again to be, next to Fall Guys, the most hype-building social of 2020....

Daniel Craig takes his final bow as James Bond in the U.S. this week with No Time to Die, which marks the end of a 15-year run as MI6’s foremost secret agent. While that time has seen Craig reach many highs as the character, there have also definitely been some lows. The talented and outspoken actor has never minced words about those lows, either. When asked by Time Out in 2015 whether he’d consider doing another Bond film just days after completing the Spectre shoot, Craig infamously replied, “Now?...

Dark Light is a new Steam Early access game that certainly looks cool. The trailer shows off an eerie cyberpunk world in a state of what looks to be post apocalypse. Snippets of gameplay present a 2D action-platformer in line with Metroidvania concepts. A character with a gas mask and survival gear takes on the dark, rusty environments with only the glow of a small drone to guide him. He uses crude melee weapons to smash through enemies big and small, and dashes away from one that’s too big....

When discussing the Dark Souls franchise developed by FromSoftware most people like to talk about the bosses or environments and often forget about the NPCs roaming around the world. Dark Souls 3 did a great job at introducing numerous characters that felt fully developed, with a number of them having engaging questlines. Almost all of their stories are tragic in one way or another, but provide unique perspectives on a world torn asunder....

Tough boss fights and Dark Souls are synonymous with each other. The franchise’s incredible fights and unique settings have made for one of the most recognizable and cherished franchises in recent memory. Part of that praise comes from how many ways players can topple the challenges Dark Souls presents. Defeating the game’s hardest bosses rewards their soul, a powerful item that can grant a large sum of currency or new weapons and spells....

After a few release date delays, Sony Bend’s Days Gone has finally arrived and with it comes the only major (known) PS4 exclusive for 2019. Needless to say, there is a lot riding on the success of Days Gone, both in the hopes of PS4 owners and those looking for a different take on the zombie apocalypse. And after playing the game for 40+ hours, there is no question that Days Gone has some flaws and missteps, most of which are content-focused, but ultimately Sony Bend has delivered a grittier but action-focused version of the world post-zombie outbreak that has some strong character work and exciting gameplay....

Frequent Dead By Daylight players will be all too familiar with the amount of time that it can take to grind out Bloodpoints. Not only can the process take a very long time but it can be very repetitive also, especially for Killer mains. When it comes to playing Killer, the process can be very much one-note; find a survivor, knock them down, hook them, and repeat. Luckily for Dead By Daylight fans, however, the developers at Behaviour Interactive have thought about this issue and introduced a new option for players to gather their Bloodpoints in a way that can not only speed up the process drastically but can change up the way that Killer mains play the game also....

A fan on Twitter sends Hideo Kojima a photo he took in Rosario, Argentina of a rainbow that looks similar to the one seen in the Death Stranding trailer. Hideo Kojima likes to fill his games with symbolism and striking imagery, and Death Stranding is no exception. Both of the trailers released for the game so far are filled with interesting visuals, but one image that stands out especially is a shot from the second trailer....

Since launching with the Ashes of Outlands expansion, the new Demon Hunter class in Hearthstone has overwhelmed all the other classes, boasting a massive 10% higher win rate than the next highest class, and nearly 20% higher than the lowest. Those poor Shamans - how far they’ve fallen to 36% overall. Oof. Normally Blizzard offers some kind of balance update to help the overall meta around halfway through the expansion, but in severe cases, they need to step in early and make a fix to prevent the game being dominated by one specific class or deck archetype, and the Demon Hunter is both....

Destiny has always given players a long list of Sparrows to collect, but there hasn’t always necessarily been a reason to. While the cosmetic style of Sparrows can vary widely, these personal motorized steeds have practically the same stats. But with the release of Age of Triumph, the massive record book to mark the end of Destiny tasks players with the “Slings and Sparrows” node, which requires 35 Sparrows to be collected....

Whether players are patrolling a planet solo or fighting other players in competitive PvP, Destiny 2 has something for everyone. With Season of the Worthy’s recent focus on revitalizing the game’s planets, many players might have discovered activities they never knew existed. One such activity is Escalation Protocol, a wave-based Public Event that anyone on Mars can partake in. Players fight hordes of frozen Hive for seven waves, slaying bosses and controlling areas along the way....

Destiny 2 players were told that random rolls were coming back to the game with the release of the Forsaken expansion, but as players dug into the DLC, they discovered that developer Bungie also added a version of some weapons that have set perks and drop with a maxed-out Masterwork stat. Fans have dubbed these weapons “curated god rolls” based on the fact that while these weapons regularly drop with random rolls, these particular versions are specifically crafted by Bungie....

The grind is still on this week in Destiny 2, with many players simultaneously working on both the Tribute Hall and Moments of Triumph additions. The Tribute Hall is positioned as being a long term project for players, featuring challenges that intend to take many players a period of time to complete and another set that have to be purchased with in-game resources. While players can lower the asking price by completing daily challenges in exchange for items called Boons of Opulence, some players have discovered cheeses and glitches to actually lower the prices much faster than normal....
