Players logging into Fortnite today will be greeted with a notification informing them that the game’s Week 5 Challenges will be delayed. Before the notice, Fortnite players were anxiously watching the countdown in the Challenges section, but when the timer finally reached 0, nothing happened. While Challenges typically go live every Tuesday, Epic Games had inexplicably delayed the Week 5 Challenges for another two days, until Thursday, May 31. The official Fortnite Twitter gave more clarity to the situation, relaying the new date and time to players while also noting that the delay was intentional....

Valve’s Gabe “What’s Half-Life 3” Newell is at it again. The game that has been confirmed as being in development by just about everyone (save for the developers themselves) has been teased mercilessly over the last few years - and this time things are getting a lot more, shall we say, pointed. An image has caught fire on Reddit depicting the company’s head honcho dual wielding a vicious pair of hunting knifes and looking rather bloodthirsty....

Game Ranter Banter: Mass Effect 3 (Books, Hopes & Marketing), The Last of Us & The Witcher 2 Welcome to the first week of February, and another edition of the Game Ranter Banter. Even with all of the great games releasing this week, many of our writers are still focused on looking to the future, thinking about the games releasing later in the year. Two of the future releases on our minds are The Last of Us, and Mass Effect 3, the key topics of this week’s discussion....

With Gamescom 2011 in full swing, Sony decided to bring out one of its biggest weapons, Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception, to the masses in the form of a new trailer. While Naughty Dog has previously stated that Drake’s next adventure would be the most realistic to date, this video shows that the studio will still integrate the over-the-top action sequences for which the series is known.In fact, the admonition from Naughty Dog that no character is safe from permanent harm may make you fear slightly for Drake himself in this video....

There was a lot of buildup and a lot of wait for Cyberpunk 2077, so much so that it can be easy to forget what the teasers were like. CD Projekt Red didn’t forget, however, and apparently were using these teasers to clue us in on actual missions. This includes a trailer from 2013 that stars what we now know is a cyberpsycho. Here’s a reminder: the teaser trailer depicted a woman sitting in the streets, covered in blood....

Digital Foundry puts together an in-depth technical analysis video to determine if the PC or Xbox One version of Gears of War 4 offers the superior experience. Although Gears of War 4’s official release date is set for October 11, those who purchased the third-person shooter’s Ulitmate Edition have been enjoying early access to the game for a few days now. Of course, with the title being available on both the PC and Xbox One, a lot of fans who have not committed to a particular platform yet might be wondering which of the two versions will provide the better experience....

As the Windblume Festival continues, there is no shortage of quests and activities for Genshin Impact players to complete. While most players may be spending their time grinding tickets in The Peculiar Wonderland or Festival Challenges, there are several citizens of Mondstadt in desperate need of the Traveller’s assistance. As in previous limited-time event updates, Genshin Impact’s Windblume Festival contains several unique world quests that players can complete called “Festive Anecdotes....

Many players are very excited about Genshin Impact, and for good reason. Despite its free to play nature, it seems to offer a lot of what gamers love right now, including an open world environment to explore and a voice acted story. Unfortunately, many are unable to experience all of those wonderful things due to an abysmally slow download speeds. Before getting to play, potential Genshin Impact players will need to download the game first....

Genshin Impact is nearly a month into its first significant update, Version 1.1, and players expect the next major addition to be showing up soon. Though a date has yet to be officially confirmed, leaks indicate that December 23 is the likely launch date for Version 1.2, which is set to introduce a new region among other things. Travelers are most looking forward to Version 1.2 of Genshin Impact because leaks, rumors, and small hints from miHoYo seem to indicate the developer will introduce the icy mountainous region known as Dragonspine....

Xinyan is into metal. That much is obvious from her attire, what with all the braids, spikes, and literal ax guitar. But it turns out that Xinyan isn’t the only fan of hard rock in the Genshin Impact universe. Keqing has a pretty bland taste in food, but she’s a bit more adventurous when it comes to music. Ask her about Xinyan and she’ll let you know that she thinks “her music rocks....

To be a good samurai, you must have speed, focus, and a good command of your sword. That’s where the Bamboo Strikes come in. Ghost of Tsushima is a samurai game following the story of Jin Sakai during the 1274 Mongolian invasion. With Tsushima Island falling victim to the Mongolian army led by Khotun Khan, Jin Sakai realizes he’s too weak to handle them on his own at least with his current strength levels....

Now that God of War’s release date is just a few months away, fans of the forthcoming action-adventure epic are surely champing at the bit in anticipation of assuming the role of the Ghost of Sparta once more. In order to further stoke the flames of the excitement, Sony and Santa Monica Studio have recently announced the decision to partner up with Loot Crate to offer a limited edition swag package based on the PlayStation 4 exclusive....

The Coronavirus has become a global pandemic, with the video game industry hit especially hard. Massive events like TwitchCon have been canceled, and many games have been delayed. The Center for Disease Control has recommended that whenever possible, people should self-isolate by minimizing contact with others. As a result of this, many gamers have a lot of free time on their hands. To help these gamers, online video game retailer GOG has released 27 free games online called the “Stay at home and play some games” collection....

The latest Google Stadia event has brought a bevy of new announcements for the service, including exclusives and classic titles. Google Stadia has badly needed a boost to its library, which has resulted in a smattering of new games coming to the service over the past few weeks. In the wake of PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X reveals, it has been harder to get excited about Stadia and its games, especially with such a small variety of titles on offer....

An ongoing complaint from the Federal Trade Commission has ensured that the contentious matter of in-app purchases has been something of a thorn in the side of major app distribution services as well as a massive source of revenue. It’s a matter of whether or not customers are knowingly authorizing in-app purchases—and, for Google, that distinction has proven to be rather costly. Last week, the FTC released a statement announcing that Google were to respond to a complaint filed by the commission earlier this year by issuing sweeping refunds to consumers....

This Fear the Walking Dead review contains spoilers. Fear the Walking Dead Season 7 Episode 4 I like Lennie James. He’s a serious dramatic actor who truly commits to his roles. I like Mo Collins, too. She has good comedic timing but she also knows how to tap into her darker side. Demetrius Grosse is an imposing, formidable presence, commanding the screen in almost every scene he’s in. And then there’s Rufus, a lovable, loyal bloodhound....

The FIFA Ultimate Team cycle moves fast, as cards that were once unstoppable are caught up in the tide of the ever-changing meta. Weekly squad building challenges, promotion players and EA Sports’ frequent patch releases mean base gold cards are quickly phased out. While the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar can get you through the entire year, many fans of this incredibly popular EA franchise simply don’t have the coins to add them to their squad....

In a series that’s been around for so long, Final Fantasy’s arsenal of weapons has grown over the decades. It is an arsenal that has been built for the multiple gigantic monsters that players have to battle through to get through the story. The last half of most titles include some of the most powerful weapons in the RPG world. Finding the very top of the power charts gets a little murky, with certain weapons able to do better in different circumstances....
