Although Destiny 1 featured some unique takes on otherworldly environments, at the end of the day players were still exploring planets like Mars, Venus, and Earth. For Destiny 2, however, Bungie is hoping to shake things up by offering players destinations rarely seen in sci-fi media, like the minor planet Nessus. While Destiny 2 fans will have to wait until next week to see Nessus in all its glory, Bungie has released a trailer teasing what players can expect from the new destination....

Even as new rivals like Anthem and The Division 2 emerge, Bungie is also preparing to launch the sixth season in Destiny 2. This time around, The Drifter takes center stage with new activities, gear, and content to keep both free and annual pass players logging in each day. Until the fresh content officially gets introduced next week, current Destiny 2 players have seemingly discovered a Hunter-specific movement trick that can surpass the speed of Titan skating....

If nothing else it’s fair to say that the Destiny community is a patient bunch, willing to “suffer” through content droughts, inconsistent messaging on the part of developer Bungie, and a struggle with RNG that can be utterly deflating at times. But even as some malign Destiny for any of a number of admittedly justifiable reasons, other players continue to find new sources of entertainment within the game world. One way that many players get a little extra mileage out of Destiny is through unique, self-imposed challenge runs....

With Monster Hunter World resting at the top of Capcom’s bestseller list, many have speculated of a possible port to Nintendo’s hybrid Switch console. More graphically demanding games have made the transition, so it’s only a matter of time…right? According to Capcom, that won’t be happening, but the company isn’t going to leave Nintendo’s platform behind. At its recent shareholder meeting, Capcom was quick to shoot down hopes of World getting a belated port to the Switch....

Marvel’s Avengers has enjoyed a great deal of attention in the first week of its release. While players have had plenty to say about the game—both good and bad—folks are also starting to post about the ugly. Specifically, the goofs: a glitch affecting one of Captain America’s skins has been making the rounds on Reddit lately, and let’s just say it’s not pretty. Reddit user @jakbutt posted a video documenting the glitch....

While speaking with investors in a Q&A session on Thursday, CD Projekt Red (CDPR) president Adam Kiciński has stated that the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077 game will have “no less” DLC than The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. For those who most likely remember, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt had two major DLCs called Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine. Both expansions not only added new locations, quests, and contracts into the game, but also managed to deliver hours of additional gameplay and narrative....

A former CIA operative is teaming up with the family of the first Army officer on the scene of an alleged crash of an alien spacecraft near Roswell, to search for the truth in a new three-part investigation for History’s Greatest Mysteries. On July 8, 1947, the Roswell Army Air Field (RAAF) distributed a press release claiming they had recovered the remains of a “flying disc” crashed in the New Mexican desert outside of Roswell....

With the launch of Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy imminent–its release date is a little more than a month from now, in fact–publisher Activision and developer Vicarious Visions have decided to give fans a better idea at how the forthcoming remastered titles look with a brand new trailer showing the enhanced visuals from the Rock It jetpack level from Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back. In order to make the presentation of the graphics for the impending releases more compelling, the latest piece of gameplay features side-by-side footage from both the original and the updated version....

As the centerpiece of the final arc of Dragon Ball Z, Majin Buu is one of the most interesting characters in the Dragon Ball universe. Though Majin Buu Saga is probably the weakest among the lot in the series, it did have some memorable moments. Throughout the years, the characterization of Buu has evolved from pink menace to comedic fodder. After finally splitting off into good and bad incarnations in the saga, the Fat Buu has since reformed into the side of good, often aiding our heroes as well as eating all of Hercule’s food....

Crunchyroll, WarnerMedia’s anime-focused streaming service, has added two additional tiers of premium membership for its subscribers, which adds several new features to the base Crunchyroll experience. This includes the option for offline viewing; access to several more concurrent streams, meaning you can connect more devices to the same account; and at the highest tier, an annual bag of unspecified anime swag. The new membership options are available in North America as of today, with a plan for all other territories to get full availability by early September....

Bloodborne fans might think they’ve seen everything there is to see, but the recent datamining has given us a disturbing glimpse into the horrors that didn’t make the cut. Are you ready for the Nightmare Moon Presence? From Software’s much-vaunted action RPG was the first big PlayStation 4 exclusive, arriving soon after the console itself. Touted as a spiritual successor to the notoriously difficult Dark Souls franchise, it’s an unforgiving, bleak, and melodramatic experience....

We recently had a chance to talk with Carla Tassara about her role as Judy Alvarez in Cyberpunk 2077. The full interview delves into the audition process, reception to the beloved character, and how games could go about tackling representation and mental health in the years to come. Tassara also talked about the future of Judy, and if she’d ever return to the role. The answer was a resounding yes. “Judy rocks, so if I ever get an opportunity to voice her again, I’m on board,” Tassara says....

It’s hard to believe that Cyberpunk 2077 is just a week away from releasing; especially because fans have been in this position previously, right before the game was delayed multiple times. Although it’s never been this close. In anticipation of its launch, CD Projekt Red is teasing something called “Cybernight,” There are no details on this event other than a mysterious transmission. This all went down through the game’s official Twitter account, where it states it has a message for would-be players, followed by the hashtag #Cybernight....

The Dark Souls series is one steeped in secrets of all kinds. Much of the lore and mechanics can only be discovered from reading the descriptions of items such as weapons, spells, and boss souls. In Dark Souls 3, despite being played heavily since its release, still somehow has been hiding bits and pieces of the world from us. Only letting the truly curious and adventurous have a look. It’s doubtful all of FromSoftware’s secrets will ever be discovered, but that won’t stop gamers from looking....

Secrets help keep a fanbase engaged with a game for years after its release. Hidden walls, secret items, or even remnants of cut content are all it takes to cause a community of passionate fans to search every corner that a game has. Dark Souls is a great example of this. Each game has hidden areas with powerful items or entire zones that most players would never find. Dark Souls 3 had arguably the most amount of hidden areas in the series....

When Days Gone released in April of 2019, it was met with mixed reception from critics, citing the game’s lack of originality and technical shortcomings as its main issues. While this can be considered a sign of doom and gloom, Days Gone was still met with immense commercial reception upon release. Days Gone was the second highest-selling game of April 2019, despite releasing at the very end of the month, and was the eighth best-selling PS4 game of 2019 altogether....

There is quite a bit of debate in the roguelike community over what exactly earns the classification of the genre, with much of the conversation being dominated by topics of difficulty and progression. However, titles like the upcoming Deathloop, as well as other recent entries along the lines of Minit and The Outer Wilds, have taken some of the roguelike genre’s core mechanics and turned them on their heads. One place to compare the differences present in these games that revolve around a repeating death-loop mechanic and the larger roguelike genre would be Supergiant Games’ Hades, with its procedurally generated levels....

EA might seem like one of the gaming industry’s biggest supervillains, but its EVP has tried to explain why that is simply a misconception. When a company reaches a certain size, it is going to be seen by a large chunk of society as evil, regardless of industry. Corporations such as Google and Apple, which most of us use on a daily basis, are viewed as evil, faceless conglomerates that are out to squash the little guy....
