Death Stranding has been in the works for years now, keeping fans of Hideo Kojima and his prior games anxiously awaiting more news on the title. Now, after years of teasing, it appears that the PlayStation Store has accidentally revealed that Death Stranding is about to become available for pre-order. Spotted by Wario64 on Twitter, the PlayStation Store temporarily launched a pre-order screen for Death Stranding. While the pre-order promotional screen doesn’t reveal Death Stranding’s release date, Sony is likely preparing the pre-order possibility to coincide with the planned major Death Stranding announcement planned for Wednesday....

Just like old exotics like Thorn, Bungie reveals that classic Iron Banner gear is making a return to the vendors of Felwinter Peak once Destiny: Rise of Iron launches next month. Bungie’s popular shooter Destiny has proven to be an experience that evolves over time. Each expansion has introduced big changes to the formula, none bigger than The Taken King which introduced a new story mission complete with cut scenes and character moments, something missing from the base game....

With the launch of Destiny: The Taken King a little more than two weeks away, veteran players are chomping at the bit to devour the expansion’s new content. Obviously, a major goal for Destiny players will be hitting the new level cap of 40, as well as acquiring stronger weapons and gear, but there’s also apparently a deeper story involved this time around as well. But while new missions and co-op experiences are sure to have their time in the sun, most would agree that the major selling point of Destiny: The Taken King is the new King’s Fall raid....

We’re back once again with another edition of ‘Where is Xur?’, this time for the weekend of October 17th. Destiny’s Agent of Nine has just appeared in the Tower and we have the full scoop on both what exotic items Xur is selling this week and where to find him. As with past weekends, Xur magically appeared shortly after 5am PST, bringing with him the giddy prospect of new exotic wares....

Build variety in Destiny 2 has never been higher. With a wide range of Combat Style mods and Exotics to choose from, Guardians have a multitude of ways to master the game’s toughest activities. Season of the Chosen added even more gear for Guardians to mess with. The Bell of Conquest Artifact, elemental well mods, and new Exotics have added even more build options. Some might seem rather obtuse or lackluster to use in a build, but some of the builds you’re about to see take these new mechanics to the extreme....

Players are almost 3 years deep into Destiny 2 and Bungie has provided numerous places to explore. Some areas were once exciting and now devoid of players, some were big letdowns from the get-go, while others are still prevalent and thriving. Exploring in Destiny 2 is low-stress compared to other arduous activities in the game. Destiny 2 offers planets and moons for Flashpoint, public events, lore, Lost Sectors, gold chests, dead ghosts, and to simply explore....

Players that have purchased Destiny 2’s Season of the Hunt pass can now access a brand new quest that ultimately grants the Hawkmoon Exotic hand cannon as its reward. One portion of this quest is called As the Crow Flies, and it sends players to locate a series of feathers. More specifically, Destiny 2 fans will need to collect a total of five feathers for the As the Crow Flies quest, and this guide will detail all of their locations....

Trials of Osiris are one of Destiny 2’s competitive game modes that are also considered endgame content. The game mode consists of two teams with three players in each team and a total of ten rounds. Whoever wins the five rounds first, wins the game. The thing that makes Trials of Osiris different compared to other PvP modes like Iron Banner, is its reward structure. In order to play Trials of Osiris, players must purchase a Passage from Saint-14....

Following the weekly reset this past Tuesday, Destiny 2 players have seen the return of Lord Saladin and the Iron Banner. However, this season is a bit different than fans may remember as not only does the competitive mode feature connection based matchmaking, but the lengthy quest has been cut dramatically short. With only one step to complete, players can earn reprised versions of The Forward Path auto rifle and The Fool’s Remedy sidearm....

Destiny 2’s most-recent expansion, Beyond Light, launched almost a month ago to the excitement of dedicated fans. The Destiny 2 expansion was packed to the brim with new story missions, new features, and new endgame content, including the continued inclusion and support of the popular Trials of Osiris competitive PvP mode. Unfortunately, a couple of particularly egregious exploits led to Trials of Osiris being shut down before it was restarted mid-November....

After a lengthy development cycle and massive community anticipation, the launch of Cyberpunk 2077 likely hasn’t gone quite as smooth as everyone would have liked. While reviews tended to be from the PC version, many gamers were left surprised by the base PS4 and Xbox One versions not quite looking or behaving quite as well. Many players reported numerous issues including performance problems, graphical and visual bugs, as well as glitches impacting the experience....

Chipzel talks about breaking into the chiptunes genre and her exciting collaboration with indie devs on past and upcoming video game soundtracks. Our favorite video game music is often the sound of nostalgia, but the music of Niamh Houston, known under stage name Chipzel, is nostalgic in an entirely different way. As a chiptune musician, Houston turns the familiar bleeps and bloops of the Nintendo GameBoy and other electronic into energetic and original tunes....

Call of Duty: Warzone has removed helicopters thanks to a game-breaking glitch that lets them fly underground. Warzone is still a new game, and as such, it still suffers from the occasional glitch. While most of those bugs are harmless, a few of them can give players game-breaking advantages that require Infinity Ward to step in for the health of the game. A recently discovered glitch allows helicopters to fly underground....

The concept of Scorestreaks began way back in the Treyarch developed COD Black Ops 2 by building off of the Killstreak system, and has now returned for COD: Black Ops Cold War. This system of rewarding players with powerful rewards, tools, and gear for accumulating points rather than just kills opened up the game to allow for more types of players to interact with these powerful toys. We only know for sure which ones to look forward to in the full game, as well as how they work, based on the beta, but these are all the Scorestreaks confirmed to be coming when the full game launches....

Details for the previously teased multiplayer features for Code Vein have finally come to light. The vampire game’s creators stated in earlier announcements that the game focuses heavily on its buddy system, a setup wherein a player works closely with an NPC teammate. With these new details now on the table, the new understanding is that this doesn’t necessarily have to be the case. Code Vein is a dungeon-crawling action-RPG in a vein similar to that of Dark Souls....

A major online leak has revealed the alleged specifications for all three phones in the Samsung Galaxy S23 series. A trio of official-looking spec sheets were posted online by Twitter user @dohyun354 who seems to have gleaned them from Samsung France. He also posted some marketing sheets with photos of the three phones. The Samsung Galaxy S23, S23 Plus and S23 Ultra will launch during a Galaxy Unpacked presentation on Wednesday 1 February, but if you want some major spoilers, just keep reading....

Often, people use video games to escape the troubles of the world, but this game plans to throw players straight into them. Fancy + Punk has just released its latest game, Coronavirus Quarantine Simulator, which claims it can teach players how to “save the world by not being stupid.” Coronavirus Quarantine Simulator is a short and silly game which tasks players with surviving during the COVID-19 pandemic, something which all players are already doing in the real world....

Re-releases and remakes are no strangers to 2017, as plenty of beloved franchises have received an HD makeover for the current generation of consoles. While the path to release has been a long one (filled with plenty of rumors and speculation), the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy is nearly upon us, and Activision is sweetening the deal by offering up a few digital goodies for those who pre-order. As listed on the PlayStation Store, those who pre-order Crash Bandicoot N....

When the Dark Souls series first began, it was touted as one of the hardest RPGs to grace the gaming community. Sending many players into a fit of frustration after being taken out by the same boss for the 20th time, this cultivated a certain kind of fan base that became gluttons for punishment. It was this gluttony that led to challenge runs, a way of taking an already challenging experience and making it so much harder....
