Today is a big day for Destiny 2 fans, as Bungie has launched the game’s highly-anticipated Beyond Light expansion. Unfortunately, the Destiny 2: Beyond Light expansion launch is not quite going as planned. Likely due to an influx of players all trying to jump into the expansion at once, the Destiny 2 servers are down, with Bungie offering no timetable as to when they will be available again. Bungie confirmed that the Destiny 2 servers are down in a tweet that explained that it is “investigating server and connection issues....

Destiny 2 has added an event this year called Dawning Spirit 2020, where players complete missions to raise everyone’s spirits in this trying time. With the community-wide goal of 1,000,000,000 spirits earned looming nearer, it has become apparent that players are not going to reach the goal to earn rewards. Bungie has decided to counteract the lack of interest and participation in the Destiny 2 event by tripling the number of Dawning Spirits earned to hopefully allow the community to complete the goals....

Bungie today revealed that a forthcoming update will prevent Destiny 2 players from hoarding bounties in order to get a leg up on their power level grind in a new season. The change will go into effect ahead of the launch of Season 6: Season of the Drifter and the Joker’s Wild add-on for Destiny 2. Prior to this upcoming change, players could hold on to completed bounties and use them as a way to gain extra powerful rewards in a new Season....

With Destiny’s December event, The Dawning, now over, a new dead ghost appears in the recently opened Traveler’s Walk area of the Tower. Here’s where to find it. Throughout its successful game making career, Bungie has been a development studio known for embracing Easter Eggs and secrets for the community to discover. The practice gained notoriety with the incredibly popular Halo series as each campaign level would hide a skull for players to find....

The mighty champion from Pokemon Sword & Shield, Leon, will soon be available as a sync pair in Pokemon Masters EX. Marnie and other characters have also been announced for the mobile game. On February 25, Leon will finally be arriving in the game alongside his powerful Charizard. In fact, he’ll be the first master sync pair added to the game. It’s one duo of hopefully many to come that will give the whole party a valuable boost, thanks to a passive skill....

The video game developer Firaxis Games introduces the second round of DLC for its turn-based strategy title, Civilization 6, which adds Australia to the game. With Civilization 6 being a massive success on Steam in terms of its sales and user base – it sold over one million copies about 4 months ago, to be specific – it stands to reason that there are still plenty of PC players out there who are taking “just one more turn” and filling up the free hours of their days with the turn-based strategy release....

Chris Metzen, Senior VP of Story and Franchise Development at Blizzard, announces his retirement, leaving behind a legacy of incredible innovation and game design. Some names in the video game industry are synonymous with the iconic titles they developed or contributed to. For Blizzard’s Senior VP of Story and Franchise Development Chris Metzen, his name will be inextricably tied to three of the most influential games ever released for computers - Diablo, Warcraft, and Starcraft....

Cyberpunk 2077’s main storyline will not be as lengthy as the Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, a CD Projekt Red senior quest designer confirmed shortly after the developer’s third Night City Wire episode aired. The Witcher 3 features a notoriously long main story campaign, even when compared to other open-world RPGs. This is partly because of the vast number of activities and side quests to get distracted by in the Northern Kingdoms, the game’s setting, and partly because of the number of quests that make up the main story....

Spellbound is a side job in Cyberpunk 2077 that you unlock after finishing Ghost Town. To start it, you need to head to the Afterlife bar and speak to Nix, who has an offer for you. Although this side gig is relatively fast to complete, there’s a choice at the end that can cause people to trip up - or, at the very least, lose out on a much better reward than the one that’s originally put on the table....

The original interview with Mike Pondsmith on YouTube was a passionate talk between Pondsmith and a host from PlayStation Access. Pondsmith talked about how lucky he was to have a team that loved the source material as much as he did. “We got people who were fans, really fans,” he said. The video then delved deep into Cyberpunk 2077’s narrative structure and components. These components include branching paths and various conversation options depending on how you choose to play....

Nearly four years after its initial release, it appears that The Witch 3: Wild Hunt could be headed to the Nintendo Switch in September, according to a recent listing on a Czech website. After the initial release of The Witcher, CD Projekt Red had planned on releasing each title within about a three-year span, but other projects such as Rise of the White Wolf caused the company to have to split resources....

Mass Effect fans have a lot to be excited about. Saturday saw the announcement of Mass Effect: Legendary Edition, a remaster of the original Mass Effect trilogy, as well as the confirmation that a new Mass Effect title is in development. Fittingly, BioWare and Electronic Arts are capitalizing on the energy, delivering a new round of Mass Effect merchandise as part of N7 Day. The jewel of the collection seems to be an Alliance Normandy SR-1 Replica....

Dark Souls is full of crazy, creepy characters, and two of the most off-putting would have to be the primordial serpents Kingseeker Frampt and Darkstalker Kaathe. Massive snake-like beings intent on pushing the Chosen Undead toward either kindling or extinguishing the First Flame, they’re some of the most important NPCs in the entire series. That said, we don’t actually know much about them. Like many things in FromSoft’s Souls trilogy, much of their background info can only be discovered by reading item descriptions and paying very close attention to minute details....

A lot of game’s were raging several weeks ago when Microsoft launched their Fall update, which disabled the usage of any third party memory storage - so basically, if you didn’t own an overpriced Microsoft Hard Drive or Memory Card, you no longer had any other alternative. However, it’s undeniable that the raging of thousands of gamers could not compare to the raging of Datel, who specifically produce memory cards and hard drives for the Xbox 360 (like the one pictured in our header, which handily utilize MicroSD cards)....

Popular 1 v 4 multiplayer horror game Dead by Daylight has announced a new Halloween DLC pack themed after the popular John Carpenter film. The pack of add-ons will include one new killer, one new survivor, and a new map for $6.99 and releasing on October 25th. As most can guess, all three of the Dead by Daylight add-ons will be Halloween themed and perfect for the horror movie fan. The new survivor will be none other than Laurie, the “final girl” played by Jamie Lee Curtis in the 1978 film....

Game designers Ben Wanat and Wright Bagwell reveal that the release of Resident Evil 4 swayed Visceral Games from making System Shock 3 towards creating Dead Space. It goes without saying that Dead Space is among the best horror games from the past decade or so, so much so that fans are still desperately hoping for the return of the franchise. While Visceral Games’ sci-fi horror title is undoubtedly a classic entry into the genre, it could have potentially turned out to be an entirely different type of game had a few things gone slightly differently during its development....

Ever since it’s release back in November of last year, Death Stranding has impacted the gaming community on a grand scale. About a month before the PS4 release, it was announced that 505 Games would help to port Death Stranding to PC and would release in mid-2020. Now with the release date of the PC port just one month away, 505 Games and Kojima Productions have revealed the specs required to play Death Stranding on PC....

He’s so darn cool he needs more than one name. Whether he is called The Terminator, Deathstroke, Deathstroke the Terminator, or Slade Wilson, the one eyed killer has been one of DC’s leading villains since his debut in 1980’s New Teen Titans #2. In his illustrious career of evil, Slade Wilson has worn many hats, from evil mastermind, to go-to soldier villain, to father figure, to reluctant anti-hero…Deathstroke has done it all....
