Bungie teased the Destiny 2 playerbase with a new director image reveal last month. While the upcoming director still resembles its previous iterations, it may have clues as to how the game will change this fall. The studio enjoys teasing the fans with artwork showcases and it had revealed new director images before both Forsaken and Shadowkeep launched, but never this early. It seems like Bungie wants to prepare the players as much as possible for the evolution of the game following the launch of Beyond Light....

While it wasn’t the complete surprise Activision had intended, the announcement of Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time was met with much excitement from fans last week. The game, which is being developed by Skylanders and Spyro Reignited Trilogy studio Toys for Bob, is the first original entry the franchise has seen in a decade. Following up 2017’s Crash Bandicoot: N. Sane Trilogy from Vicarious Visions, the title sports a brand new art style for the franchise and an expanded approach to level designs, following directly from 1998’s Crash Bandicoot: Warped....

The first season of The CW’s Batwoman referred to a character named Safiyah on multiple occasions starting with the seventh episode of the series. Now, Dominion star Shivani Ghai has been cast as Safiyah in the second season of Batwoman opposite lead actress Javicia Leslie. According to the official description of the character, Ghai’s incarnation of Safiyah will share her DC Comics counterpart’s title as the ruler of a small community on the island of Coryana....

In Cyberpunk 2077, style is everything, and everyone knows that when a video game gives players a plethora of clothing options to sport, 9 times out of 10, you’re sporting those clothing options purely for cosmetic reasons and not necessarily because those options are “practical.” It’s all about looking how you want to look. Not about being functional. It’s understandable then that the number of clothing options in the game can feel overwhelming at first when trying to figure out your V’s style....

Even for gamers who have tuned down the difficulty to a minimum, Cyberpunk 2077 is not a simple game that players can pick up and breeze through in one day. Night City is a tough place to live, filled with netrunners, corpo overlords, war criminals, robots, mobsters, and mercenaries, all of whom have V squarely in their crosshairs. Gamers that don’t gear up properly will find themselves flatlining in their encounters more often than not....

CD Projekt Red’s highly-anticipated open world RPG Cyberpunk 2077 is finally set to launch later this week. While hype for the game is high, some of the early Cyberpunk 2077 reviews have lessened expectations a bit, as many reviewers have complained about the game’s excessive, and in some cases, game-breaking, bugs. However, it seems those picking up Cyberpunk 2077 on day one will have a smoother experience than game reviewers did, as the Day One patch will reportedly address many of the game’s technical problems....

Standing in rank with next year’s most high-profile releases, Cyberpunk 2077 has set some serious expectations for itself. Developed by CD Projekt Red, the studio responsible for 2015’s stellar The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, the steampunk-inspired open world RPG has managed to attract considerable attention leading up to its release. With the help of a steady stream of information drops, screenshots, and an impressive E3 presentation, it seems 2019 can’t come fast enough....

Cyberpunk 2077 was meant to be one of the biggest video game launches of the year, but its release has been mired in controversy. Due to a slew of technical issues and bugs plaguing the game, particularly when playing it on a base PS4 or Xbox One console, refunds have been offered to consumers who purchased the game through digital marketplaces. But now that refund offer is extending to those who bought Cyberpunk 2077 at a physical brick-and-mortar store as well....

As the video game industry has evolved over the years, so too have player retention methods, and daily login bonuses have become the most annoying part of games today. We are all familiar with these by now, and while mobile games might come to mind as the most obvious abusers of this practice with an incessant string of push notifications, premium games have also embraced the practice of rewarding those who play often and punishing those who do not....

The Dark Souls franchise is known for its tough bosses and incredible lore. Each game presents fragments of a broken world that players piece together with item descriptions and NPC dialogue. Most players overlook the lore and focus on the game’s boss fights, but this is a major disservice to the franchise’s worldbuilding. Take Gwyn, the final boss of the first Dark Souls. He is responsible for the state of Lordran and the roster of bosses players fight throughout the game....

One of the most iconic aspects of the Dark Souls franchise is the bosses that inhabit the world. Each boss has a surprising amount of lore and challenges players with a deadly suite of moves. Should players be able to defeat the boss, they will drop their soul, which can be used to craft boss weapons. The art of making boss weapons in the original Dark Soulsis much more taxing than in future installments....

Souls are what makes the world go round in Dark Souls 3, and the player is going to need a lot of them. Between leveling up, replacing certain consumables, and buying better gear, players will need to dedicate some time to farming souls in addition to progressing through the game. This is a general guide for players to follow if they want to maximize their soul farming efficiency. Maximizing efficiency will depend on the player’s skill, class, playstyle, and patience, but this will help anyone get started on the right foot....

Dark Souls III is the fourth Souls game by FromSoftware, who are known to create the toughest action RPGs in the market. Knowing how tricky a Dark Souls playthrough can be, players must keep their weapons—and wits—sharp. There are several different merchants in the game that help players through their journeys, providing things like items, weapons, armors to miracles, and pyromancy spells. That is why it becomes vital for the players to know where and how to meet these merchants, as the game doesn’t tell or give the players an “easy to access” map....

Weeks after the hugely successful launch of Dark Souls 3, From Software is hiring new staff as the studio prepares to begin development on a brand new IP. From Software has just released Dark Souls 3, a game that’s set to close out one of the most popular new franchises in recent years. It would be easy for the studio to get caught up in that success — but management is reportedly already hiring for its next project....

Despite launching all the way back in 2016, Dead by Daylight continues to receive frequent updates and new characters to enhance the experience for players. Last year alone saw the addition of four major content packs, adding Silent Hill’s Pyramid Head, The Deathslinger, The Blight, and The Twins alongside an array of new survivors, skins, and maps. Behaviour Interactive is now teasing its newest batch of content, with the developer posting a cryptic clip over on its Twitter account....

Microsoft and Capcom announce Dead Rising 4 with an official E3 2016 trailer, which confirms the flame-filled return of original series protagonist Frank West. He’s covered wars, you know - and now he’s back.

Keoken Interactive and the publisher Wired Productions said to “expect the most gorgeous version of this mysterious adventure yet.”...

Every class in an RPG brings something special to the table. In Demon’s Souls, there are ten classes to choose from, each with unique starting stats and equipment. The Royal class is often pinned by fans as the “easiest starting class,” due to the excellent starting stats, including the lowest soul level, and an emphasis on magic and spells. Although Demon’s Souls is by no means an easy game, picking the right class to best fit the individual player’s preferred gameplay style is a must if gamers want to ensure they aren’t excessively dying or running into frustrating boss fights....

A few months after we started covering Xur at Game Rant, there was a growing sense of fatigue among the Destiny community. While many enjoyed running through the Tower in search of the Agent of the Nine, others felt his wares were being crueler – especially after he continually sold underpowered exotic weapons like the No Land Beyond. But despite Xur’s disappointing offerings, there remained a steadfast segment of the Destiny community that believed he might come through....

Destiny 2 features items for players to customize their Guardian’s armor and weapons called shaders. These items change the color scheme and pattern of the armor and can be obtained as a reward for completing missions, Crucible matches, raids, or various other in-game activities. Some shaders are rare and can only be earned during certain limited time events, such as Iron Banner or the Dawning. Although Bungie has made it clear that transmog won’t be in Destiny 2 until Season 14, players can still take advantage of what the current system has to offer....
