Those looking for a challenge in the gaming world know that From Software is the go-to studio. The Dark Souls series is renowned for its unforgiving gameplay, and Bloodborne, its spiritual successor in many ways, falls under the same category of relentless punishment. With Bloodborne in the rearview mirror, however, players looking for their masochistic fixes have been eagerly anticipating their next visit to the Dark Souls universe. That wait hasn’t been easy, either....

Famed game creator Hideo Kojima talked Death Stranding at the Tribeca Game Festival in a keynote conversation, giving an update on the state of the game’s development and more about Norman Reedus’ character in the game. Kojima said when he thought of the main character for Death Stranding, he was specifically thinking of having Norman Reedus take the role. For those that remember, The Walking Dead actor was set to be the protagonist in Kojima’s Silent Hills game, which became a casualty of the dramatic split between Kojima and Konami in 2015....

DedSec isn’t dead yet, as legions of loyal Watch_Dogs fans prepare to feast on new n00bs. Ubisoft unleashed Watch_Dogs 2 for free during the Ubisoft Forward conference on July 12, throwing another litter of script kiddies to the wolves. The sequel to the unfairly maligned Watch_Dogs (2014), whose mind-blowing E3 graphics were toned down for performance reasons, Watch_Dogs 2 rebooted the series with smoother parkour, tighter driving, and industry-defining art direction....

We have the early scoop on where to find the vendor Xur and what exotic armor and weapons he has available to Destiny players for the weekend of February 17th. This Week in Destiny Although Destiny’s first big PvP update since the launch of Rise of Iron had been well-detailed ahead of time, there were still quite a few unexpected changes made by Bungie. Some of the changes were unexpected because they were not clearly explained, while others were actually unintended....

Bungie will always be remembered as the developer who created the Halo franchise, but they are also responsible for creating Destiny. The original game was pretty bare, but it improved considerably as time went on. The same thing happened with Destiny 2. Yet the franchise still managed to cultivate a dedicated fanbase, and the current game is better than it has ever been. The Cabal are one of the enemy races that players face off against....

There is a brand new and exclusive shader and emblem in Destiny 2 that is linked to Twitch streamers. Here’s how to get them. This isn’t the first time Bungie has offered loot through Twitch or included rewards as an incentive for donations. This time around, players will need to gift subs on Twitch to get exclusive memorabilia. Firstly, a Twitch and Bungie.net account is needed for this to work. If players have both, they can go to their Bungie....

Earlier this week in Destiny 2, a new quest went live for the Outbreak Perfected exotic, which culminates in the timed dungeon-style Zero Hour mission. In addition to being able to complete the original mission to get the exotic and the Heroic version to get the exotic’s catalyst, players also discovered another puzzle hidden within the mission. After crowdsourcing information from the Zero Hour mission with the Destiny 2 community, fans were able to solve the puzzle....

Destiny 2 is starting to conclude Season of the Hunt, the first season of Year 4. By now, players have tracked down the Warthborn, quested alongside the Crow, and acquired Hawkmoon. With Destiny 2’s weekly reset, Bungie has deployed presumably the last major beat of this season, a repeatable exotic mission for acquiring better versions of Hawkmoon. Here is what that new mission, Harbinger, is about. Hawkmoon is a returning Destiny 1 weapon and was initially acquired via a relatively lengthy quest in Destiny 2....

Destiny 2 now features an impressive eight raids, and although these challenges are meant to be completed with a full fireteam of six Guardians, they are often completed with just one. The latest in this line of achievements is in relation to the game’s newest raid, the Deep Stone Crypt, in which Slayerage has finally beaten one of the raid’s bosses solo. It’s almost a rite of passage for Destiny 2 raids now to be cleared by just one solo player, as one can tell how new a raid is based on whether or not this feat has been accomplished....

We’re just over a week away from Season of [Redacted], which means you’ve got just over a week to grind out your best rolls in Destiny 2’s latest raid, the Deep Stone Crypt. What makes Deep Stone Crypt weapons so appealing is their access to completely unique perks. Recombination, Reconstruction, and Redirection are all great and you can’t go wrong on whichever weapon pops up with any of these three perks....

With last week’s launch of Destiny 2’s Warmind DLC having already come and gone, it’s quite possible that many Guardians have already explored all that the new expansion has to offer and are looking forward to what’s in store for the future of the science fiction shooter. Bungie is likely well aware of this being a potentiality, as the developer has now released a new, detailed look at the Development Roadmap in store for the next few months, with one of the updates coming from the studio being a PvP PTR feature called “Crucible Labs....

Destiny 2 fans have been treated with highly anticipated Beyond Light news lately. Alongside the new Stasis subclass reveals, the latest weekly article by Bungie details how the rewards for the game’s core playlist activities will be changing with the new expansion. Beyond Light doesn’t come out until November 10, but the studio has made it clear that it will steadily provide information about the upcoming expansion until its release. Among many of the other wide-ranging updates, Destiny 2 will see its core activities changed drastically....

The Destiny 2 Faction Rally event allows players to pledge their loyalty to a particular group, earn some tokens, and bag themselves some new loot. Bungie has already held one Faction Rally but when the second one begins it will offer some big changes to the way things work. In an update published today, Bungie confirms that Destiny 2 players will be able to take part in Faction Rally again from November 7 until November 13....

Destiny 2’s partnership may be with Blizzard and its Battlenet platform for the foreseeable future, but that may not always be the case. A new listing on the Steam Store suggests that Destiny 2 could be coming to the platform. The Steam store listing itself mentions 500 Destiny silver, one of the in-game currencies with which players can purchase emotes, exotic weapon ornaments, and more. Bungie has yet to confirm whether the listing is legitimate, though, so it’s best to treat this with a grain of salt....

It’s an exciting week to be a video game fan as the annual event known as E3 is in full swing in Los Angeles, California. While developers and publishers have been revealing new content left and right, Bungie has taken the opportunity to detail and show off a bit more of the upcoming expansion for Destiny 2 known as Forsaken. With the new mode called Gambit at the show, a new story trailer gives fans a somber look at the beginning of the game....

Age of Triumph, the next (and last) live event coming to Destiny, is already bringing back the classic raid weapons, but that’s not all—it will also give players a chance to get their hands on weapons that have been out of the loot pool for some time. Specifically, new bounties can reward Trials of Osiris and Iron Banner weapons that were available in Destiny’s Year 2. In the developer’s weekly blog update, Bungie expanded on the news from earlier this week that the weekly Crucible bounties from Lord Shaxx would get an update, saying that Shaxx’s bounties won’t be the only new ones....

Nintendo Switch Online subscribers will have full access to Celeste for a week, though only for Japanese accounts. Released in 2018, Celeste is unarguably one of the best-received independent games ever made. The gameplay is very challenging, but rewarding. The story, on the surface, is about a young woman’s journey to the top of a mountain. However, the journey is as much internal as it is external, something that resonated with many players....

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of Richard Kelly’s surreal cult classic Donnie Darko, The Ringer has compiled an oral history of the movie that reveals Christopher Nolan’s integral role in getting the movie into theaters. When Donnie Darko premiered at Sundance Film Festival in 2001, it was overshadowed by Nolan’s amnesia thriller Memento, so Kelly had a tough time finding a distributor. Four months after the Sundance premiere, the director still hadn’t secured a distribution deal for his film and it was looking like it might never make it to multiplexes....

Last week, developer Firaxis Games detailed some of the changes and new content that would be included in Civilization 6’s June 2020 update. Now, that update has gone live, and indeed it features a host of balance changes, fixes, and more. For players that would like a better understanding of exactly what Civ 6’s June update does, full details are as follows. To start, Religion gets a lot of attention in this new Civilization 6 update, as a myriad of beliefs have been changed and two new ones have even been added....
