Fans of Animal Crossing are sure to love this title and will be familiar with the various mechanics included in the gameplay.

Modding video games can lead to some wonderful things, such as being able to use Star Wars’ lightsabers in Half-Life: Alyx. However, modding can also result in absolutely terrifying things like Therister’s spider legs Widowmaker mod in Blizzard Entertainment’s team-based shooter Overwatch. To be fair, the mod is as interesting as it is disconcerting. Therister uploaded a video showcasing it to YouTube today, and the four large legs it attaches to Overwatch’s Damage archetype sniper crawl with their own unique animations and allow her to climb up walls....

Prominent esports journalist Richard Lewis recently discovered an exploit that likely caused Counter-Strike: Global Offensive players major worry. The glitch allowed players to ignore the effects of blinding smoke grenades, which had huge implications for the competitive nature of the game. However, it looks like Valve has recently issued a patch for this. Lewis took to his YouTube channel to let CS:GO players know about the exploit, which he called “game breaking....

Cyberpunk 2077 finds itself in a rather interesting situation as fans head deeper into 2021. With Anthem’s reboot/relaunch canceled, CD Projekt Red’s latest project is getting attention for a different reason than what’s become the norm. All of a sudden, Cyberpunk 2077 is the last game standing when it comes to a title that could be set up for a redemption arc through extended development support. That’s both a positive and a negative....

Since the gameplay demo showcasing character creation and open-world exploration for CD Projekt Red’s Cyberpunk 2077 launched, fans of the upcoming action RPG have been clamoring for more. Developers have been answering a variety of questions since the launch of the demo, and recently, two key details were revealed. Via different mediums for questioning, developers stated that there was not a constant companion system and that multiple apartments could be purchased....

The latest edition to the Batman: Black & White series is a statue based on the artwork by Spawn creator Todd McFarlane, and it’s a real head-turner. The statue was announced by DC Direct in honor of the Black and White series’ 100th addition that has joined the collection that’s been running for 15 years. This limited edition piece has only 5000 up for grabs and measures approximately 9.75" tall. The exquisite collectors item is based off of McFarlane’s cover design for 1988’s Batman #423 and is sculpted by Jonathan Matthews....

While DC is back in the news thanks to Snyder’s cut, it’s no secret it hasn’t quite made the same waves as some Marvel films. However, one of DC’s movies has just resurfaced, and we now have a little more clarity on the status of Blackhawk. Steven Spielberg’s comic book adaptation Blackhawks is confirmed to still be in production, despite very little information surfacing. The front line is currently swamped with Black Adam filming, The Batman spin-offs, and Dave Bautista’s relentless interest in playing Bane, accompanied by a raft of other in-the-works and rumored projects....

For those who might have just gotten into FromSoftware games due to the release of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, or for the types of people who only played Bloodborne and decided that they didn’t ever want to experience FromSoft’s specific brand of hell, Demon’s Souls isn’t easy. Even if you’ve played all of their Souls series types of games, you probably still have a tough time with Demon’s Souls. That being said, there are a few little tricks that come into play if someone wants to prepare before the release of the upcoming PS5 exclusive remake of the classic game....

It’s the weekend, which means that Xur, the Agent of the Nine, once again visits Destiny players. Until Sunday morning, Xur will be holed up in the Tower, offering players a selection of exotic wares that includes armor for each class, one weapon, a legacy engram, and the new exotic weapon bundles. Where is Xur? This weekend, Destiny players can find Xur in Tower North, right next to The Speaker. It’s only fitting that Xur set up shop next to The Speaker, since the character has been a major part of the Age of Triumph events promotion, and there is some speculation he may not return for Destiny 2....

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 December 30th. With only a few days left until Destiny’s Dawning event comes to a close, players are likely trying to get their last few Sparrow races in and trying to collect some of the new, holiday-themed loot. The good news is most of the meaningful content, like Strike Scoring and a chance to earn the Icebreaker exotic, will persist after the Dawning ends on January 3rd, but some things will be gone for good....

The latest addition to Destiny 2, Warmind finally dropped earlier this week and brought plenty of positive changes to the game with it. As with any expansion for any modern game, though, Destiny 2’s newest batch of content introduced a few bugs along with the new story, weapons, and game modes. While many were minor and impacted a relatively small number of players, others were major and forced Bungie to take immediate actions like disabling matchmaking improvements for solo players....

[UPDATE: According to Kotaku’s Jason Schreier, the Destiny 2 artwork is indeed real, and fans should expect an official announcement from Bungie today.] [UPDATE 2: Kotaku’s Jason Schreier walks back his statement above to say that Destiny 2 might not actually be announced today as he initially said, but says an announcement is coming “soon.” The original story continues below.] Today, potentially legitimate posters and promotional artwork have surfaced online for Bungie’s Destiny 2, revealing the game’s possible launch for later this fall on September 8....

While last week was a slight disappointment for many considering that Destiny 2’s exotic merchant Xur didn’t actually bring any new Forsaken exotics with him, Friday has returned again giving fans hope that the result will be different this weekend. Thanks to a very important buff at the start of the current Season of the Drifter, Xur finally has a chance to sell new exotics from the most recent expansion during his visits each weekend....

Another week and another new activity arrived for Destiny 2 players to take part in. The Lumina exotic quest went live at reset, giving players access to the Rose legendary hand cannon and then evolving it into the Lumina exotic, the game’s first support weapon that can fire orbs that heal and boost damage to teammates. Unlike some of the other available exotic quests, this one isn’t nearly as challenging. The trade off here is that players will need to grind a bit in order to complete some steps that include generating orbs, playing with others that have the Rose equipped, and more....

Destiny 2’s narrative arc at launch will focus on the Red Legion and main antagonist, Ghaul. That means that the enemy race of the Vex won’t have much of a role when it comes to the story. However, Bungie hinted that players may see clues along the way hinting at the Vex’s involvement in the future of Destiny 2. The information came from game director Luke Smith who was answering a fan question how the Vex play into the war with the Red Legion, to which Smith replied, they don’t:...

Destiny 2: Beyond Light releases in just under three weeks, and Bungie still has lots more news to share. While fans had gotten a thorough look into the upcoming Stasis subclasses, there hasn’t been much talk about weapons and sandbox in the new expansion. However, today’s This Week at Bungie blog goes over the key ways the player arsenal will change come November. Large sandbox changes arrive every expansion and Destiny 2: Beyond Light is no exception....

Since the launch of Destiny 2, many players have taken issue with developer Bungie’s decision to change up the iconic weapon system of the first game. Instead of a weapon fitting into one of three categories: Primary, Special or Heavy, Destiny 2 introduced the Kinetic, Energy, and Power typings and YouTuber The Legend Himself is making his annoyance at the decision known. In a video dedicated to analysis of the new weapon system, the YouTuber explains that the new system effectively gives players two primary weapons while limiting their fun to just the Power slot....
