Death Stranding is the latest — or at least latest upcoming — hit from that insane genius, Hideo Kojima. And now we know when it’s coming to PC. The game will still release for PS4 on November 8. For those of us who prefer the best gaming platform, the PC version will come out in summer 2020. That’s… not an exact date, but it’s still a lot better than no game at all....
This time next week, Destiny 2 players will be jumping into the Trials of Osiris playlist, the first time that the popular Destiny 1 mode returns in the sequel as part of the upcoming Season of the Worthy. Trials of Osiris is Destiny’s most competitive and intense PvP mode, and with exclusive rewards on the line and the challenge to go flawless to reach the Lighthouse, players always rely on the most powerful weapons and armors to help give them an edge....
Bungie has confirmed that Destiny 2: Forsaken will mark the beginning of a brand new year of content drops for the Engram-farming shooter. While the former Halo developer had previously name-dropped some of the expansions that we’ll be getting, it’s only now shed light on full roadmap for Forsaken’s post-launch content. It’s pretty extensive too, taking us through until summer 2019, so there won’t be any shortage of aliens to shoot in the face....
It’s that time of the year again. Despite the pandemic ruining everything forever, E3 2021’s online portal and app details have been revealed. Even though we’re still staying away from each other, we’ll still get all those exciting game announcements. Most of you were going to watch it on YouTube anyway, so you can stop grimacing. Who do you think you are? I just really hope there’s a Jet Set Radio announcement of some kind....
Quantic Dream has announced that it will release a demo of PlayStation 4-exclusive thriller Detroit: Become Human on the PlayStation Store this week.

Diablo 4 was officially confirmed at BlizzCon and promises players that the new game will explore the ‘darker roots’ of the successful multiplayer dungeon crawler (via GameSpot). Blizzard’s unspoken Diablo project had been lurking in the shadows for quite some time, and when its first-person Starcraft shooter was binned in favour of Diablo and Overwatch, rumours ran wild. The mobile-exclusive Diablo Immortal was announced at BlizzCon 2018 but lots of fans felt disappointed as sources told Kotaku that the big reveal would be for Diablo 4....
While there was plenty of speculation for the past several months and some discussion of the topic for years, the end of April finally brought the news for which many of us have waited for what seems like a lifetime. Call of Duty is finally headed back to World War II. It has been ages, and while the first several games focused squarely on that conflict, World at War was back in 2008....
Today Activision announced via press release that the Call of Duty franchise has officially sold over 20 million map packs. Most recently the Resurgence Pack was let loose upon the war ravaged multiplayer of Modern Warfare 2 for the 360, PS3 and PC. From the press release: Despite some rather harsh negative feedback from the gaming community, Activision is still making money by the truck load and they won’t be slowing down any time soon....
Call of Duty Mobile is a fun addition to the growing roster of mobile first-person-shooters available to those who want some fast-paced action on the go. COD Mobile’s battle royale mode is competitive with Fortnite, and its wide variety of other game modes makes it a versatile title to pick up and play anywhere. However, in any online competitive game there will always be those who make it their mission to worsen the experiences of others, either through cheating or just bad sportsmanship....
Camping is a new limited series from writers and executive producers Lena Dunham and Jenni Konner, the team that gave us Girls, but it’s safe to say that this HBO series is a little less like that and a little more like Lord of the Flies. Based on a British series of the same name created by Julia Davis, Camping follows the controlling, obsessive yet pain-addled mom, wife and “minor Instagram star” Kathryn McSorley-Jodell (Jennifer Garner, Love, Simon) as she leads a group of friends on a camping trip to celebrate the 45th birthday of her compliant husband Walt (David Tennant, Doctor Who)....
Hello! We’re very excited to bring you a piece from Ben Bayliss, the writer, disability advocate and editor-in-chief of Can I Play That? It’s a fascinating look at Ben’s journey through the industry and it’s also a reminder that sites - very much including this one - can do more in terms of accessibility. Accessibility is always something I’ve found myself advocating for wherever I go. As a Deaf person who wears hearing aids, I’ve always advocated for myself in life: from working around barriers during my live TV career, to sharing my experiences online, to educating strangers who ask questions and desire to prod my hearing aid....
Capcom’s European CEO has admitted that he finds playing Resident Evil 7 in VR “a bit too scary”. Speaking in the latest issue of MCV, Katsuhiko Ichii suggested that he might have to play the game through on a standard television after being spooked by it running in VR. “Honestly, I find it a bit too scary,” he said. “It depends on the person. Some people might play part of it in VR, some might play it entirely in virtual reality, and some might play it entirely on the screen....
Capcom has revealed its intentions to develop a Monster Hunter game which is pitched towards middle and high-schoolers (via Gematsu). In a recent investor’s meeting, one asked about the possibility of porting World to the Switch. “There are currently no plans to bring Monster Hunter: World on Nintendo Switch. We are planning to develop a Monster Hunter that middle and high-school students can enjoy, so please look forward to it,” replied the company....
In Elden Ring, one of the choices you will face as a spell caster is Carian Glintblade Staff Vs Meteorite Staff. This choice of which staff to use can be a problem for many players who choose to play as an Astrologer or a Prisoner. The catch is both of these staves are great and have their advantages in different situations. But only one of them is going to be better than the other....
Another listing for a Castlevania: Advance Collection has surfaced, this time on a Taiwanese ratings board despite the collection still awaiting a formal announcement. The website of the Taiwan Entertainment Software Rating Information briefly held the listing, reports Gematsu. Though since seemingly removed, it marks the collection’s third appearance in the space of a few months. The first time the collection was spotted in Australia in June, before turning up on a Korean ratings board a few days later....
Wastelanders, the big new update for Fallout 76, is just around the corner. It was delayed last year to make sure the quality was acceptable, and since then Bethesda has been revealing bits and pieces about it. It has new dungeons, items, and most importantly, NPCs, the latter of which players have been clamoring for since the game released. The newest location is… a parking garage? One of the new locations in Fallout 76: Wastelanders is the Watoga Underground....
Valorant Episode 2 is finally here, and it brings a lot of new features to Riot Games’ hero-based tactical shooter.

You’ve already met the newest addition to the Valorant agent roster, Yoru. The stealthy infiltrator will be leading the charge in almost every game for the next few weeks....
This review contains spoilers. After the first episode of Clique’s second series aired and it became clear that rape culture was going to be the issue it explored, it made sense to be worried. Television doesn’t have a great track record in this area and, with the real world grappling with the same problems in a more charged way that ever before, even with its heart in the right place, Clique had a battle to fight....
While it is a separate game, Warzone is often called the battle royale extension of Call of Duty Modern Warfare. Released in 2020, it was a free-to-play battle royale by Activision and the second main battle royale in the Call of Duty series. While any AR is a great weapon, SMGs are the heart of many gunfights. Most players love playing with sub-machine guns in Call of Duty and are often unsure regarding the best guns available....
Code Vein‘s first DLC, Hellfire Knight, was met with many disappointing sighs when it released in late January. The Frozen Empress DLC is the second of three planned DLCs, and Bandai Namco is hoping it doesn’t get the same frosty welcome as the first. As with the previous DLC, Frozen Empress will bring a new, challenging boss fight and add an arsenal of new weapons and Blood Codes to Code Vein....
