Destiny 2’s first raid, Leviathan, has been bested and a World First team has been crowned. Just hours after the raid launched, members of the clan The Legend Himself, led by streamer and YouTuber Slayerage, were announced to be the first to beat the Leviathan raid. Leviathan launched at 10 a.m. this morning and it took almost six hours for Slayerage and his team to finally beat the very mechanic- and puzzle-heavy venture....
By now, most gamers on the internet have probably heard about how Capcom was hit by a ransomware attack that saw a massive amount of data being stolen and leaked. While this is really bad news for Capcom, fans of the company might disagree, because if the stuff that’s made its way online is at all legit, then it means they may eventually see the return of the long-dormant Onimusha series....
The gaming industry celebrated quite a few anniversaries last year, from the 10th anniversary of the Xbox to the 20th Sonic The Hedgehog, reminding us of how old we (and Ryu) really are. This year, another iconic gaming franchise reaches an important milestone as come summer time, Street Fighter will have endured a whopping 25 years. For veteran gamers who rocked games like Street Fighter during the heyday of arcades in the late ’80s, this is a reality check of how time flies....
The sequel to Captain Marvel was already one of the most hotly anticipated films in Marvel’s impending release schedule, but now that blaze has grown just a bit more. Iman Vellani, star of the upcoming Disney+ series Ms. Marvel, has now joined Brie Larson in the cast of the Nia DaCosta-directed follow-up. Vellani, who recently earned the honor of portraying the titular hero Kamala Khan in the Ms. Marvel series, will now join her character’s personal idol in Captain Marvel 2....
Five years on from The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt’s initial release and Geralt of Rivia is still managing to attract loads of new fans. Last year saw CD Projekt RED bring the game to the Nintendo Switch, opening the door for a whole new platform’s worth of players to experience the massive (and massively-acclaimed) open-world RPG for the first time, and from the look of it, that move has been paying off pretty nicely....
Remedy Entertainment’s Control earned critical acclaim at the time of its release, and it will soon be adding one of its most exciting expansions yet in the form of AWE, which will see the long-awaited return of Alan Wake.

After 26 launch characters and a handful of DLC packs, it looks like Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled is finally letting you play as a checkpoint crate. Yes, really. Thanks to a free content update released on March 26, you can now race against Crash and friends as an iron crate. If you want to unlock this exciting new racer, you’ll need to smash various Beenox crates spread out across different tracks....
When it comes to action choreography, any long take sequence that lasts more than a few minutes is an achievement. Stunts and fights are risky. They can even be deadly. The longer the scene, the more chances of an accident. But a 77-minute one-er? That’s just crazy. The extensive long takes in Alejandro González Iñárritu’s Birdman and Sam Mendes’ 1917 have won international acclaim, Oscars, and other notable awards. Asian cinema has also been delivering some impressive one-ers....
The Sims 4 has had a variety of different updates since its release to add features to the base game at no additional cost to players. This is unique to only this iteration of the franchise, and some updates have been well-received, like pools or much anticipated toddlers, while others have not gone over so well, like the added items for Hispanic Heritage month. The most recent update before the newest expansion pack, Snowy Escape, saw The Sims 4 add something that no other Sims game has had—platforms....
As many avid fans of the popular first-person shooter franchise will no doubt be aware, the Twitter account for Crysis re-emerged recently after its lengthy four-year hiatus. This naturally led many to assume that a new Crysis game was on the cards, especially with the franchise not seeing another entry since its release of Crysis 3 back in early 2013. It seems the speculation was correct, with a new leak confirming that the series will be returning very soon....
For many fans, the incredibly long wait for Cyberpunk 2077 is coming to an end soon. Unfortunately, one gamer that was excited for the latest CD Projekt Red release will not be able to experience the game, and the Cyberpunk 2077 community has come together to honor the fan that passed away a few days ago. The gamer’s name was Johnny, an appropriate name given that it is shared by Cyberpunk 2077’s playable Keanu Reeves character....
Longtime competitive fighting player Daigo Umehara had planned to bring a controversial “Hit Box” controller to Combo Breaker, a Street Fighter V competition, but the new hardware was banned by Capcom before the tournament. The controller, named after the company that first made it, has attracted attention in the past few weeks, as Daigo showed that is was possible to execute charge-type moves like Guile’s Sonic Boom without the need to release the backwards motion, allowing for faster charging of subsequent charge moves....
It has been almost 7 years since we faced the undead and some impressive bosses in Dark Souls, but soon players will get to test their mettle once again. The forthcoming remaster of the critically acclaimed RPG will be called Dark Souls: Remastered and in addition to being available on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, Nintendo fans can look forward to being able to play the game on the Nintendo Switch as the Switch’s entourage of games continues to grow....
The locations of Dark Souls 3 abound with small details, hidden time-saving tricks, and references, with the largest of areas, the Undead Settlement, being absolutely no different. This is the second location that you’ll stumble upon, with the Bat Wing Demon’s carrying you from Vordt’s bonfire down to the curse-ridden town filling to the seams with corpses, walking and decaying. Here are ten things that you may have missed in your adventures through this rickety town....
David Beckham is now a proud co-owner of Guild Esports, a new organization that will initially focus on Rocket League, FIFA and Fortnite. Operating in the UK, Beckham will leverage his years of experience as one of the world’s most recognizable athletes to help build the organizations new brand. While Beckham is sure to be a massive draw among fans, especially for FIFA, the daily operations will be handled by Carleton Curtis, who recently made headlines after leaving Activision in the role of Vice President, having successfully implemented esports leagues for both Overwatch and Call of Duty....
Demon’s Souls players are able to progress through the game’s five Archstones in whatever order they want for the most part, but that doesn’t stop many from going through sequentially. As such, the fifth Archstone, also known as the Archstone of the Chieftan, is usually one of the last ones that new players complete. Despite this, it’s often regaled as the hardest of the five Archstones for a number of reasons, not the least of which being the constant threat of poison and plague that players will face as they trudge through the aptly named Valley of Defilement....
Those who have been paying attention to the anime industry have likely been following the saga of Demon Slayer quite closely. Released in October 2020, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba the Movie: Mugen Train was a sequel film to the hit 2019 anime and proceeded to do well financially at the Japanese box office. Not only that, it seems that following the worldwide release, the film has now dethroned Hayao Miyazaki’s Spirited Away to become the #1 Japanese film worldwide....
With the onslaught of Destiny news hitting this past week, few would be blamed for feeling thrown for a loop. Game Informer’s cover story didn’t just share a little bit about the upcoming Taken King expansion, but practically blew the lid off the Destiny DLC’s biggest changes. Nevertheless, we hope that Destiny players have recovered long enough to pop over to the Tower, because Xur has returned with some worthwhile goodies....
With less than a week until the launch of Destiny 2’s Curse of Osiris DLC, this week was always going to be a big one for Bungie. But as it turns out, the developer had a lot more riding on its communication (or lack thereof) in terms of how the studio plans to improve the base game moving forward. It may be just a start, but Bungie outlined numerous changes it plans to make to Destiny 2’s systems in the coming weeks and months to better incentivize and reward players....
The Dawning community event ended earlier today with the completion of the final reward tier as Destiny 2 players finish collecting one billion Dawning Spirit. To almost no one’s surprise, the Overflowing Reward is nothing special. This year’s Dawning was Bungie’s first attempt at this type of community event. Over the last few weeks, every Destiny 2 player has been individually contributing Dawning Spirit. Prizes were rewarded every time the total reached a new benchmark, with the final prize available only when one billion Spirit had been collected....
