Dead by Daylight plans to release on next-gen consoles with it able to run on 4K and at 60 frames per second. In order to keep up with content and regular graphical updates, developer Behaviour Interactive has announced that Dead by Daylight will receive more regular updates moving forward....

The PS5 had a very strong release, coming out with a very distinctive and impressive console that also features some of the best launch titles ever featured in any console’s launch. The most notable is Demon’s Souls — a remake of the original title that was released on the PS3. Demon’s Souls looks absolutely fabulous and is easily the prettiest Soulsborne game out there. Bluepoint has done an excellent job of modernizing this title to allow more players to try out this absolutely brilliant game, which originally sparked the rise of FromSoftware and their trademark action games....

Publisher Aniplex and developer CyberConnect2 have officially confirmed the release of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Hinokami Keppuutan on PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC in 2021 in Japan. New information and screenshots for the battle action game have also been released.

[UPDATE: Bungie previously claimed their would be no Weekly activities, but both the Nightfall Strike and Weekly Heroic Strike are available] In preparation for next week’s launch of Destiny’s third expansion, The Taken King, Bungie will be releasing the 2.0.0 update tomorrow for all Destiny players, even those not purchasing the upcoming DLC. For those who are unaware, the massive update will bring some extensive changes to Destiny, including weapon balances, a new voice for Ghost, and an update to the game’s leveling system....

This past weekly reset in Destiny 2, the Allegiance quest officially began, giving players the choice to ally with either the Drifter or the Vanguard. This quest sends players on branching steps with different rewards, lore, and narrative depending on which side the player chooses. The game also teases that the choice may have consequences in that character’s future in the game as well. Following are both the steps and rewards for the Allegiance quest....

Update: Surprise! Bungie apparently had no intention on waiting to debut this quest because it’s live now for everyone to participate in. Original story follows: Since The Revelry event ended, Bungie has been fairly quiet as to what’s next for Destiny 2. Earlier today, Bungie released one of its biggest updates in a while which included a few important bug fixes and the long awaited Spectral Blades nerf for Nightstalker Hunters....

Between GamesCom, the big Sandbox Update, and the highly anticipated Forsaken expansion launch next week, things are understandably very busy at Bungie. The latest Destiny 2 update brought with it a complete rework of many features and mechanics in the current game, with even more content arriving next week. Even with all of the new stuff for players, Bungie has begun teasing the return of a particular strike that proved to be pretty unpopular with players....

Although Bungie has been in hot water for quite some time with Destiny 2 fans over the way the game has been handled post launch, the science fiction shooter’s popularity with some folks continues to cause ideas, concepts, and designs from the title to trickle into the real world. For instance, at the macro level, the wrestler Kenny Omega recently cosplayed as Osiris–an old, legendary Warlock from the game–for his match with Chris Jericho at Wrestle Kingdom 12 in Japan....

One of the biggest features players are looking forward to in Destiny 2: Forsaken, the game’s big fall expansion, is a change to how the weapon slots work. The Kinetic, Energy, and Power weapon arrangement that launched with Destiny 2 never really sat well with fans, who have been asking for a change for quite some time. Developer Bungie let fans know it was working on changing the system but had yet to detail exactly what those changes would be until recently....

New raid launches in the Destiny franchise are always a big deal, and that proved to once again be the case last week as Destiny 2’s first finally arrived. While many clans raced to be the first to complete the Leviathan Raid, that honor fell to the group known as The Legend Himself after about six hours. While each raid is made up of multiple parts, Bungie is doing something a bit different for the sequel, giving players a new experience every week....

Destiny 2 isn’t quite dead yet; in fact, it’s more alive than it’s been in a while, with player counts having spiked since E3 and the announcements regarding Shadowkeep, as well as the future of the franchise. According to PCGamesN, the numbers surpassed one million this week and, as of Sunday, the daily population was at 1.01 million, as 963,000 players were in PvE, 472,000 were in Crucible, 319,000 in Gambit, and 139,000 conducting raids....

Destiny 2 may have launched on PC seven weeks after the game was released on PS4 and Xbox One, but developer Bungie says that from here on out all updates, DLC, and patches on PC will launch “day and date” with consoles. Bungie has talked about bringing PC quickly up to speed with consoles in the past, but Bungie’s PC lead David Shaw clarified further, saying other than the launch of the raid and the first Trials of the Nine having their own custom dates for PC, players can expect all updates and events in Destiny 2 to arrive the same time on PC and consoles:...

Activision is saying that Bungie’s new first person shooter will break records for being the most pre-ordered new IP in history and off the back of some serious PlayStation-only incentives, Sony is calling Destiny ‘the PS4’s biggest system seller’. That’s even in the face of the three highly talked about PS4 exclusives, inFamous: Second Son, DriveClub and The Order: 1886. As an MMO and FPS from the makers of Halo, Destiny has all of the right fun-packed ingredients to make a meal far more substantial than a bowl of chips and salsa Verde....

Destiny is all about a conflict between the remaining population of Earth and several different alien civilizations. The game has received plenty of flak for its underwhelming story, but it’s hard to say that Bungie didn’t put a lot of effort into world-building, and a new fan project is a great example of just how well the studio fleshed out each race. The Eliksni — better known to humans as the Fallen — are the first race that Destiny players encounter in the game....

The question of game prices for the next-generation of systems has been confounding fans across the world, and it seems that developers and publishers are equally unsure about future costs, as Capcom has confirmed that it hasn’t settled on a price for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X games. There has been some confusion regarding the price of next-generation games, with companies giving different answers as to how much they will sell their future titles for....

The world’s most infamous vampire, Count Dracula, has terrorized the living for over a century through books, movies, TV, comics, and even video games. In terms of the latter, we have Konami’s seminal Castlevania series for providing the Dracula-themed scares for over 30 years. While not exactly an accurate retelling of the original novel by Bram Stoker, Castlevania is a brilliant Japanese reimagining that sets a vampire hunter loose in Dracula’s monster-filled castle for an action-packed and spooky adventure that ends in the hall of the greatest vampire who ever lived, the Count himself....

In South Korea, cinemas have started renting out their screens to gamers. With most cinemas restricted to only 50% of their capacity due to coronavirus restrictions and fewer movies being released, CGV, the country’s largest movie theater chain, decided to rent out its screens to offset their loss of revenue. Eui Jeong Lee, who rented out a 200-seat cinema auditorium to play a video game with three of her friends, told the BBC that the sound quality was incredible....

Civilization 6, the most recent title in the long-running historical strategy series, has recently announced a new season pass, introducing 6 new content packs. This announcement follows not long after the game was ported to consoles, and was also briefly available for free on the Epic Store, inviting new Civilization players to conquer the world through culture, diplomacy, science, war, or even religion. While it may be tempting to leave religion to its passive spread, winning a religious victory in Civilization 6 needs to be approached with the same level of focus as winning through domination....

It’s been roughly two years since we first learned of the existence of Command & Conquer Remastered Collection. A compilation of both the original and Red Alert, this project was greenlit in celebration of the series’ 25th anniversary and was revealed shortly before the launch of mobile spin-off Rivals. Its existence may be in relation to the controversy surrounding said mobile entry, even if critical reception was somewhat mixed. Winding the clock back to almost the dawn of the RTS genre, this project has been pegged as a loving recreation of two classic games for fans that have been dying to see this series reemerge....

Fans of Dune are getting spoiled as of late. A film adaptation has been announced for 2020 with Blade Runner 2049 director Denis Villeneuve at the helm, and has a cast that includes Jason Momoa, Josh Brolin, Dave Bautista and many others. It might even have Zendaya! Now it seems a video game based in the Dune universe is on the way as well. Funcom, the studio behind Conan Exiles, has just announced that it is going to make games set in Frank Herbert’s spice obsessed world....
