Genshin Impact is a game full of unique characters and elemental magic. In the game, there are gems called visions that are granted by the gods. Only a select few are granted visions, and many consider them to be proof of acknowledgment of their abilities. Vision holders all have exceptionally unique personalities, and from the lore currently in the game, it seems that those who are trying for a vision are never the ones to receive one....

When Genshin Impact was released, it already had five five-star characters placed in its normal banner. Out of these characters, there is Mona, a hydro catalyst with an extremely unique costume design that’s themed around astrology. Being a catalyst means that Mona isn’t an outright powerhouse like Diluc or Keqing, but she is still incredibly powerful and useful for those lucky enough to add her to their teams. Mona is a character who can easily take control of the battlefield and can easily be run as either a DPS main or a supporting character, depending on what the player’s current team is in need of....

In a PlayStation Blog post, Ghost of Tsushima developer Sucker Punch revealed new details about the game’s impressive upcoming 1.1 update. “Version 1.1 is a free update for all Ghost of Tsushima players,” says Darren Bridges, Senior Game Designer at Sucker Punch Productions. “This update brings the launch of Ghost of Tsushima: Legends, a brand-new co-op multiplayer mode inspired by Japanese mythology, as well as exciting new updates and New Game+ for our single-player campaign!...

Google Stadia is finally coming to iOS devices today, although you still won’t find a playable version on the App Store. Apple’s restrictions on cloud gaming won’t let services like Stadia, GeForce Now, or xCloud onto the platform, so Google is using Safari as a workaround. Once the update is pushed live, you should be able to navigate to the Stadia website through Safari and access your games remotely from your iPhone....

In Fire Emblem: Three Houses, the player takes on the role of professor at the Officers Academy and must choose one of the three houses to lead: the Black Eagles, the Blue Lions, or the Golden Deer. Although you are prompted to make the hard decision early in the game, it isn’t until later down the line when you truly get to see the uniqueness of each house and its students....

Although many Call of Duty fans are eagerly anticipating more news about Advanced Warfare at E3 early next month, the previous series entry, Ghosts, is still trucking along. In fact, the third DLC map pack for the game is slated to hit Xbox platforms on June 2rd of next month. Titled ‘Invasion’, this third DLC pack will include the usual bevy of Call of Duty: Ghosts accouterments — i.e. four multiplayer maps and a new episode for the Extinction campaign....

For years, the Football Manager series has offered soccer fans a more in-depth way to engage with the sport virtually than most soccer games, and this year’s installment, Football Manager 2021, will be bringing that club-management action to more platforms than usual. After announcing a slight delay for Football Manager 2021 earlier this year, Sega has announced that the game is now set to launch for PC on November 24. This version is now available for pre-order on Steam and the Epic Games Store, and in addition to offering a 10% discount, pre-ordering FM21 will provide buyers with two weeks of early access ahead of launch day....

It’s happening much later than had originally been planned but Football Manager 2023 is finally coming to the PlayStation 5. After originally being planned for a release in late 2022, Sega and Sports Interactive are both now ready to bring the latest iteration of its football management simulator to the PS5 on 1 February - and some people will get a full 20% discount when it happens. “We are delighted to confirm that Football Manager 2023 Console will launch on PlayStation 5 on February 1st,” a statement posted to the Football Manager website reads....

Details for the season pass of For Honor accidentally post on the official Ubisoft store, revealing a similar downloadable content strategy as Rainbow Six Siege. After impressing the crowd with its suprise reveal at E3 back in 2015, For Honor is now about a month away from its highly anticipated launch date. Final preparations are being made including one final closed beta test set to introduce players to even more content and a new meta game called War of the Factions....

As always, those who elect to purchase the season 7 Battle Pass in Fortnite will have access to some thematic skins, a few of which were teased prior to the launch of season 7. Before delving into what these new skins are, it’s worth mentioning that Fortnite players will need to purchase either the Battle Pass (950 V-Bucks) or the Battle Bundle (2800 V-Bucks), which comes with the first 25 tiers....

The final major Fortnite skin added to the game as part of Chapter 2 Season 2 was Cyclo, complete with all the usual cosmetic items that fans expect from skins in the battle royale. However, one of Cyclo’s accessories was causing some problems in the game, prompting Epic Games to disable his back bling. Fortnite players first noticed that Cyclo’s back bling, the Windshear Cloak, had been disabled last night. It seems as though there was an issue with the cloak that caused it to stretch to absurd lengths, and so Epic has locked it temporarily while it works on a fix....

Fortnite will introduce a new Performance Mode for PC starting on December 15. Performance Mode, available in Alpha, will provide a significant jump in frame rate at the expense of graphics – allowing older computers with weak GPUs and CPUs to play the game. The goal with Fortnite’s Performance Mode is to give more people access to Epic’s popular battle royale. A few before-and-after examples give us a glimpse at the boosted frame rates, with both examples offering an increase of over 30fps....

Whenever a season of Fortnite comes to an end, there’s usually some big climactic event to help send it off and introduce the next season. Long-time fans are no stranger to them, but it feels like Epic Games has been trying to make them bigger, crazier, and more memorable throughout Chapter 2. The last season ended with a pretty cinematic showdown with Marvel villain Galactus, with players teaming up with their favorite Marvel superheroes to send him packing....

Earlier today, Fortnite developer Epic Games announced it would be adding yet another new vehicle–the Driftboard–in the forthcoming 7.10 update to the battle royale game. But in a quick turnaround, the developer has decided to delay the Driftboard, citing quality of life improvements taking precedence and polishing of the vehicle itself being necessary before its release. Epic gave no indication as to when the Driftboard will be coming to the game now, though it is likely to be sooner rather than later....

Not too long ago, Epic Games’ official launch of Fortnite’s Season 5 saw the developer add a new vehicle dubbed the All-Terrain Kart (ATK), with the mode of transportation being large enough to carry a four-person squad to their destination of choice. Now, though, it looks as if the studio could be planning on making the ATKs customizable by introducing skins for the wildly popular multiplayer sandbox survival shooter’s golf buggy....

For Fortnite’s seventh season, Epic has pulled out all the stops, introducing a new Creative Mode, a wintry biome, and the game’s first aerial vehicle. However, this is not the end of the game’s offerings for this holiday season, as the in-game news feed has just revealed that Driftboards are on their way to the battle royale sensation. In keeping with Fortnite’s winter theme for Season 7, snowboards act as the point of inspiration for Driftboards....

Sony took a bit longer than usual this month to reveal the next batch of free PS Plus games. However, many would agree that it was worth the wait, as the free PS Plus games for March 2021 include a whopping four games total, including the critically-acclaimed Final Fantasy 7 Remake, which isn’t even a year old yet. But while it took some time for Sony to announce the free PS Plus games for March 2021, it has wasted no time giving fans a sneak peek at what they can expect from April’s lineup....

It’s that time of year again and Black Friday sales are already in full flow. As gamers everywhere begin to recover from a turkey-filled evening, major retailers are already offering significant savings across a range of products. And for those less inclined to leave the comfort of their own homes, the online sales at companies such as GameStop shouldn’t be passed over in a hurry either. GameStop is already reducing its prices to allow gamers to make substantial savings when buying online, but using the code ‘TY10’ will unlock a further 10% off any purchases made today....

Presented by: This story appears in the Den of Geek x eBay special edition trading card magazine. Op-ed by Brian Volk-Weiss, creator of The Toys That Made Us and The Movies That Made Us. The beginning of my adventure with collecting cards was, as with so many things in my life, due to Star Wars. When I was very young I was enthralled by everything about a galaxy far, far away, but we didn’t have a lot of money for the toys....

The situation is hardly uncommon these days: a developer puts out an anticipated/remake of a game, the game does terrible critically and then the developer calls out reviewers with oft-used phrases like “they weren’t playing the game properly”, “they didn’t understand the game” etc. Borderlands developer Gearbox Software seems to be the latest to join in on the review-bashing in defense of their product, stating that Duke Nukem Forever wasn’t reviewed fairly....
