At E3 2018, Patrick Mills, the Cyberpunk 2077 quest designer, indicated that Cyberpunk 2077 could not be completed without killing, due to the fact that the player character is a mercenary whose “job is violence.” With many players hoping that CD Projekt Red’s forthcoming RPG would support a myriad of different types of playthroughs, some found this news a bit disappointing, and the developer has now responded to this disappointment by backtracking on its initial statement....

Like much of Dark Souls story, the Gravelords are shrouded in mystery. A casual playthrough of the game won’t reveal much about Gravelord Nito or his covenant. It’s only by studying the various items and comparing them to the lore of other beings does a picture start to form. All these years later, there is still a lot of mystery and speculation regarding the Gravelord and his followers. But there are some things players have learned about this eerie figure and his goals....

The latest UK video game sales charts reveal that Dead Rising 4 is currently selling better than The Last Guardian - although neither has taken the top spot. Although we are still early on into December, the video game world has already seen several high profile releases this month. Among the most anticipated were the duo of Dead Rising 4 and The Last Guardian, and many were intrigued to see exactly how well the titles would do once they saw release....

Dishonored developers Arkane Studios are working on a new game, Deathloop, where players have to take down eight “visionary” targets on the island of Black Reef before a time loop resets, bringing everyone back to life. While the premise is very different to that of Dishonored, the game appears to have a lot in common with its predecessor in terms of combat. Dishonored had some fantastically unique magical abilities that players could use as assassins Corvo Attano or Emily Kaldwin....

Taiwanese horror game Devotion made headlines back in 2019 after it was suddenly pulled from Steam, with the release accused of mocking Chinese president Xi Jinping. The title was meant to return via GOG last December, however, the storefront decided against it at the last minute, citing “messages from gamers” as its reasoning. Today, Red Candle Games revealed that Devotion is finally back on sale, with the studio deciding to sell digital copies via its website....

After several weeks of the Last Wish raid challenges rotating between Kalli and Shuro Chi, Morgeth’s number has finally been pulled. Destiny 2 players are now faced with a new challenge in the Forsaken raid and luckily it’s fairly easy to complete. To complete the Morgeth challenge in the Last Wish raid, Destiny 2 players need to make sure they do not kill any of the ogres that spawn during the fight....

The annual Solstice of Heroes event arrived this week in Destiny 2, giving players even more content to dig into. Just like last year, players are challenged to upgrade a set of special armor, completing a number of challenges to take the gear from low tier rarity through Legendary and Masterworked. In addition to the new Destiny 2 armor and unlockable content, the update also added a new PvE mode called the European Aerial Zone where players race against the clock to defeat mini-bosses and an eventual final boss fight....

Destiny 2’s newest Crucible mode, Breakthrough, has been put on an unexpected hiatus after issues cropped up with the game mode. After making its debut as the featured playlist of the week last week, Breakthrough was added to the Competitive playlist as of this week’s reset. The game’s developer, Bungie, let players know via its support account on Twitter: Breakthrough garnered generally positive reactions from players when it first debuted, but once it was added to Destiny 2’s Competitive playlist, players began to complain about the mode, saying it shouldn’t be in the Competitive playlist....

While Destiny 2 developer Bungie has done well so far detailing all of the new features and changes that are coming to its game with September’s Forsaken expansion, there is one change that many players hoped would be included and even some saw flashes of during trailers. Today, though, Bungie has officially confirmed that Destiny 2 will feature a lower time to kill in PvP starting with the launch of Forsaken....

Season of the Worth has easily been Destiny 2’s most controversial season yet, filled with low points which have seemingly broken a number of community members. While forums, boards, and social media sites have filled with complaints and feedback, Bungie has attempted to become more transparent with how it plans to course correct the game over the next few seasons. However, this past week has hit a major low point with a quest centered on the classic Destiny 1 shotgun, Felwinter’s Lie....

Destiny 2: Forsaken has a new raid which launches this week. The Last Wish raid takes players into the heart of the Dreaming City to hopefully put an end to the corruption that lies there. Unfortunately, it seems that some players aren’t keen on waiting, and have found a way to glitch into an early part of the raid to get some free loot. To access this area, Destiny 2 players must go to Rheasilvia in the Dreaming City and find a secret alcove that lets players get beneath the terrain....

Bungie’s beloved shooter Destiny 2 has enjoyed a wide-spread audience thanks to its unique mix of abilities and gunplay across a beautifully realized science-fiction world. The MMO hasn’t always been favored by its audience, however, as occasional hiccups in content deployments would readily frustrate players. It looks like history is currently repeating itself. Destiny 2 has a mod system that allows players to customize their abilities and player statistics that marry well with how individual players prefer to work through the content....

With next week’s major Destiny 2 update, developer Bungie promises a variety of changes and improvements that should go a long way towards supporting different play styles. One of the key ways Bungie plans to do this is by buffing a number of the game’s supers to make them more viable in PvE and PvP. And to illustrate that point Bungie has released a new video showing off the “revamped” Golden Gun super in action....

The final week of the Festival of the Lost is here, which means players have another seven days to battle the Haunted Forest and spend any remaining Fragmented Souls to finish their mask collection. After all of the various teases and datamining related leaks, the Master Ives murder mystery quest is also active in Destiny 2. Players should take some time to go through this quest as rumors indicate that not only will it take players back to a familiar Destiny 1 location, but new exotics could also be rewarded....

New information about Monster Hunter Rise is due to be revealed soon, as the producers are planning on making an announcement about the game this month. Capcom announced during the September 2020 Nintendo Direct that Monster Hunter Rise is coming to the Switch on March 26, 2021. Monster Hunter Stories 2 is also coming to the system this summer, though it still lacks a solid release date. Since then, the company has gradually been revealing new information about Monster Hunter Rise in commercials and Twitter posts....

By now it’s no secret that Tenet was not a resounding success after its run in movie theaters, as Warner Bros.’ bold attempt at reviving cinemas failed to fully resonate with moviegoers. However, someone with a good amount of skin in the game has jumped to Tenet’s defense by instead refocusing the expectations the film should have generated. Tenet released in the United States on September 3, only a few days after already hitting cinemas overseas (except for China), topping at about $53....

The popular Five Nights at Freddy’s franchise is currently trending on Twitter due to some screenshots of news stories describing incidents at one Chuck E. Cheese restaurant that are shockingly similar to the first game in the animatronic horror series. However, these stories are simply not true. While many people can see that Chuck E. Cheese restaurants have a striking resemblance to the Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria from the FNAF series, there are clear distinctions that separate them....

Nothing eases the way quite like money, whether that’s in real life or in Sid Meier’s Civilization 6. Money makes things easier and can help any player on their way to victory against other civilizations. Whether it’s a scientific, cultural, or militaristic victory, more money will help make that happen. Money in Civilization 6 can be used for almost anything — buying units, buying districts, upgrades, smoothing over diplomatic relations with other civilizations, or even giving away for special projects....

When Cliff Bleszinski announced his imminent departure from Epic Games, many figured the former Design Director had a new project or studio already brewing. As it turns out, however, Bleszinski was instead ready to take some time off from games, and enjoy life for a little bit before jumping back into the daily grind. Now, Bleszinski is, little by little, teasing his latest endeavor, focusing mostly on grand ideas without giving too much away....

The Alien franchise has had its ups and downs in the video game industry, with some Alien titles earning acclaim and others being critically-panned as some of the worst games available, as was the case with 2013’s disastrous Aliens: Colonial Marines. Aliens: Colonial Marines is the last time there was a co-op shooter game in the franchise, but that will be changing later this summer, as Cold Iron Studios and 20th Century Games have announced a new third-person co-op shooter in the form of Aliens: Fireteam....
