In preparation for Solstice of Heroes to arrive to Destiny 2 tomorrow, July 31, Bungie has released a short trailer that highlights what will be available during the limited-time event. The latest Destiny 2 trailer may be light on time, but it is packed with enough previews of the upcoming event to rouse Guardians who have been feeling the lull. From beginning to end, the Solstice of Heroes trailer provides glimpses of the new content, and more importantly, the new gear, that await players....

A representative of Capcom Vancouver confirms that Dead Rising 4 will not feature campaign co-op, and will instead restrict its multiplayer functionality to a side-mode. This year’s E3 event was the setting for some good new for fans of Capcom’s secondary zombie-slaying franchise, as Dead Rising 4 was officially unveiled during Microsoft’s press conference. However, it’s fair to say that most of the updates we’ve received since that initial reveal have been rather disappointing....

Game launches are a weird thing for a game developer’s stock price. Sometimes the stock goes up, sometimes it goes down, and in the case of CD Projekt Red, Cyberpunk 2077’s launch caused its price to go way, way down. According to GamesIndustry.biz (who were actually paying attention to CDPR’s stock price), CDPR started with PLN 443 per share as of December 4 and ended up with PLN 313.9 per share earlier today....

As promised earlier this week, Sony delivered brand new footage of Arkane’s upcoming co-op/competitive shooter Deathloop. Showing off more gameplay than ever before, this really does appear to be a culmination of all of the developer’s previous efforts. There are hints of Dishonored and Prey in here, though with a more arcade kind of approach to gunplay. It all looks very stylish and should prove to be a blast this summer....

Clive Barker is back. After a period of relative silence, the acclaimed horror and fantasy author and filmmaker seems to be everywhere: a new movie based on his seminal Books of Blood arrives next week, a reboot of Candyman (based on his story “The Forbidden”) is due out in 2021, and TV shows based on Hellraiser and Nightbreed are in development as well. He’s also got three new books on the way, which he signals are a return to his horror roots....

Games by developer Remedy Entertainment have had Easter eggs in their titles for many years, with Alan Wake referencing the Max Payne series while Quantum Break not only references Max Payne but also has several references to the future title Control. As the latest of Remedy’s titles, Control naturally has many references to past games, though there are far more references to Alan Wake than any other game in their lineup....

Valve couldn’t wait for The Game Awards 2018 to make two major announcements. First Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is now free to play and is downloadable for all Steam users immediately. Second, the game now has a small-scale battle royale mode named “Danger Zone” that features between 16-18 players and unique gameplay mechanics. Danger Zone is entirely free for anyone that downloads CS:GO. Danger Zone is the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive approach to battle royale modes, focusing on retaining the deliberate pacing and tactical gameplay of the game’s standard multiplayer....

Activision releases a new trailer for the remastered collection of Crash Bandicoot games, Crash Bandicoot N Sane Trilogy, that reveals the game’s release date. One of the biggest surprises of Sony’s E3 2016 press conference was the announcement that PlayStation’s original mascot, Crash Bandicoot, was making a comeback in Crash Bandicoot N Sane Trilogy. Since its reveal, fans have been wondering when they would have a chance to replay Crash’s original three games with updated graphics and enhanced gameplay features, but the wait to learn the game’s release date is over....

Some gamers like to play things safe. This is especially when it comes to unforgiving roguelike games — staying out of harm’s way has its benefits. Curse of the Dead Gods, being one of the most difficult of these games, potentially makes players feel like long-range is the only way to go. Those players haven’t seen the power of the claws yet. The claws function in a similar fashion to the swords but do a bit less damage....

Cyberpunk 2077’s long-awaited Patch 1.2 has been delayed to the second half of March due to the recent cyber attack experienced by CD Projekt Red. The update was originally scheduled to go live by the end of February. “While we dearly wanted to deliver Patch 1.2 for Cyberpunk 2077 in the timespan we detailed previously, the recent cyber attack on the studio’s IT infrastructure and extensive scope of the update mean this unfortunately will not happen — we’ll need some additional time,” reads the official announcement from CD Projekt Red....

Despite Cyberpunk 2077’s recent delay, that hasn’t stopped little bits and pieces of information about the game from showing up on the internet. The latest bit of news, which doesn’t deal with delays for Cyberpunk 2077, actually deals with the character creation and customization feature, specifically the option to customize the main character’s nails and teeth attributes. The information comes from a Reddit post created by -Aspergius- in which they translated a post from a German Cyberpunk 2077 Facebook page and shared it with the Reddit group....

The Cyberpunk 2077 Twitter account has graced fans of the upcoming RPG with an inside look at some new district concept art. After already being introduced to parts of Night City, we can now get our first look at Westbrook via some beautifully illustrated artwork. A few gamers have already been gifted with a couple of hours of gameplay within Night City during CD Projekt Red’s demo’s, but this time fans are rewarded with scenic views of some greenery as well as the metropolis....

Cyberpunk 2077 is set to release in just one week. It’s easily one of the most anticipated game releases of 2020, and given the hype surrounding the project, CD Projekt Red is implementing strict rules surrounding content creation for Cyberpunk 2077 leading up to launch. This is bothering some content creators who see it as a major opportunity to share the game, but xQc is standing up for CD Projekt Red and agrees with their strict content creation rules....

Cyberpunk 2077 didn’t provide anyone with pre-order bonuses because CD Projekt Red wants to ensure everyone plays their game with the “same content.” Those of you that pre-ordered Cyberpunk 2077 might have noticed something a little strange: there was no mention of any sort of pre-order bonuses. In today’s era of gaming, developers and publishers almost universally offer some sort of incentive to get gamers to buy their game, sight unseen....

Rings have been part of an adventurer’s gear in RPGs for a long time. They are a way to add beneficial effects or stats to a character’s build without having to worry about encumbrance. In Dark Souls: Remastered, rings are very much used in this capacity, though some are not easy to acquire. This is so that those who explore the world will be the ones that benefit the most, a core theme in the Dark Souls games....

For the boldest of warriors, wielding the greatweapons in Dark Souls 3 is the pinnacle that the Ashen One seeks to reach. The epic ultra greatswords, devastating greataxes, and humongous great hammers are all immensely satisfying to slash, cleave, and crush foes with respectively. It is quite possible to do some soul farming so that one can level up enough to wield these weapons without any aid, however, there are some items that can help one pick up and use their desired weapon without spending time to achieve the required stats organically....

Darkeater Midir is a descendant of the Everlasting Dragons, though was raised and given a task by the gods and has been eternally loyal to them, despite the war between his kind and the deities that took place long ago. In Dark Souls 3, players will encounter the darkness-devouring dragon long after the gods have died, though he still stands stalwartly in The Ringed City and maintains his constant vigil against forces of The Abyss....

According to the franchise’s director, Hidetaka Miyazaki, the Dark Souls series is done for now, with the third entry’s Ringed City DLC marking the last piece of content to make its way into the series. Beyond the latest piece of expansion content, Miyazaki and his team at From Software currently have no plans for another numbered installment in the action-RPG franchise to start production any time soon. This revelation comes from an upcoming interview between Miyazaki and the Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu, which was covered by Japanese blog Esuteru, and translated by the Twitter user known as BlackKite....

Since launching a little under a month ago, Gunfire Games’ Darksiders 3 hasn’t had the buzz their development team was hoping for. With an entire shift in the way combat works, the team based out of Austin, Texas has been looking for new ways to update the game to both win back players and hopefully gain a few new ones. One of their plans involves bringing back the option to choose between the game’s default combat and the original style of earlier Darksiders games to convince people to give the game a shot....
