Since its debut on the Battle Royale scene, Fortnite has had one thing going for it apart from all other titles in the genre: building. Where other Battle Royale games were focused on tight gunplay or intense PvP showdowns, Fortnite added the element of fort building to create a new dynamic for battles. This week, that dynamic is about to expand thanks to a new item. In the weekly update teaser for Fortnite Battle Royale, Epic Games reveals that a new Port-a-Fort item is coming to the game’s loot table....

Fortnite is not a stranger to chasing trends on social media, and this new emote further proof of that. After years of developing a loose and fun style, Fortnite has taken to TikTok to find its next hit emote. While it may be over the top in other games, this emote seems to be right at home within the Fortnite environment. Players who are a fan of the recent sea shanty trend on TikTok will recognize this new group emote....

Suspicions that this season’s secret Fortnite skin will be Predator have been all-but-confirmed via the arrival of some cosmetic items via the 15.20 update. Each season of Fortnite’s first chapter featured a mystery skin. An unlockable costume Epic kept under wraps until the season was coming to a close. That gave those of you who had already completed all of the challenges something more to do, usually with a pretty cool reward at the end of it....

Forza Motorsport 7 launched on PC and Xbox One last week, but fans were less than pleased about the changes that Turn 10 had made to the game’s loot system. The changes altered the paid-for VIP upgrade that grants additional bonuses, with players saying that it made it a lot less valuable. Frustrated about the quality of the VIP bonuses and the fact that they hadn’t been properly informed about the changes, fans hit back and criticized Turn 10, demanding to be heard....

On paper, Free Guy is a movie about a bank teller named Guy (Ryan Reynolds) who one day realizes that he’s actually a non-playable character in a popular online video game called Free City. While Guy is mostly interested in using his newfound awareness to win the heart of the Free City player he’s fallen in love with (Millie, a.k.a. Jodie Comer’s “Molotov Girl”), he soon finds himself in the middle of a game development conspiracy that could ultimately lead to Free City’s shutdown and the end of his world....

HTC Vive doesn’t want to “punish” players for using other platforms, and Gabe Newell - CEO of Valve - says that exclusivity in VR is “bad for everyone,” but Oculus and PlayStation? Well, they’re knee-deep in exclusives, locking off games in an already niche medium. That doesn’t seem like the right call for the future of VR. Some argue that VR thrives under exclusivity, that the medium benefits from the competition bred by these platform-locked titles, but let’s break that down....

Delivering a blend of traditional side-scrolling shooter and match-four puzzle play, Galacide is a title that will hit the mark for those after an interesting spin on the classics. As the world of gaming grows larger and larger, the traditional gaming genres are steadily mixing with different styles of video game. Big budget titles such as Assassin’s Creed: Revelations have blended the likes of tower defense mechanics into its overall stealth action gameplay....

The next evolution of the Slowpoke line has been revealed, as Galarian Slowbro is coming in the Isle of Armor DLC for Pokémon Sword & Shield. The Slowpoke line of Pokémon has been in the franchise since the days of Pokémon Red & Blue and it has remained one of the most popular creatures in the series. There has always been something endearing about the slow gait and vacant expression of Slowpoke, which is why so many fans are filled with rage when they have to deal with the Team Rocket grunts who are cutting off their tails in Pokémon Gold & Silver....

It’s been a long week in the video game world, and while massive news headlines didn’t leap out every second of the day like they did last week, there’s still a lot for Cameron and Anthony to talk about in Game Rant Arcade Episode 11. With Frogwares drama and an Elden Ring leak, there’s a wide variety of topics to breakdown. Kicking things off, The Pokemon Company made a number of major announcements during a recent live stream, debuting the much-anticipated Pokemon Diamond and Pearl remakes that fans have been clamoring for....

A surprise announcement came through this Sunday for a game many expected to never receive a sequel. Garry Newman, the creator of the mod-focused sandbox game Garry’s Mod, is working on Garry’s Mod 2. The developer revealed Garry’s Mod 2’s development on Twitter Sunday morning via a meme, which is awkwardly appropriate for the game. Using the infamous Distracted Boyfriend meme, in which a boyfriend looks distractedly at another woman while his partner looks on aghast, Newman dropped his announcement....

One of the biggest issues in Genshin Impact right now is the staggering lack of content once you’ve reached AR 50 and above. At that point, there isn’t much to do but stare in blank space or forcibly commit mass murder to Hilichurls for some books or Mora. As it is, the players are in need of some new content right now and thankfully, we’re inching ever closer to that as Inazuma is looming on the horizon....

Despite some concern over the game’s launch being so close to The Last of Us Part 2, Sucker Punch’s new IP, Ghost of Tsushima, has gone on to break Sony sales records. First announced back in 2017 at Paris Games week, Ghost of Tsushima is the last major Sony first party game set to release in 2020. Coming off their previous game, InFamous Second Son and the expansion First Light, the team decided to take a risk in starting a new IP set during the Mongol invasion of the island of Tsushima rather than continue with their established superhero franchise....

Even though Agents of SHIELD and its loose connections to the Marvel Cinematic Universe seem to be a thing of the past, there still might be a chance for fan favorite characters to return if the circumstances are right. We’ve already seen Anson Mount reprise his role as Black Bolt from the short-lived Inhumans series in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and thanks to the ever-expanding multiverse of the MCU it could be only a matter of time before we see other fan-favorite characters appear....

As a titular Ghostrunner, you’re tasked with restoring the AI called the Architect by using your speed, agility, and combat prowess to navigate and cleave your way through the Dharma Tower. The game can almost be overstimulating between the incredible speed and complexity you can push the gameplay to, not to mention the bright neon art style, so a few moments of respite can be nice. However, these cybervoid puzzles can push things too far in the opposite direction, bringing the game’s pacing to a halt....

Tina Fey’s last streaming comedy proved that “females are strong as hell.” Now the prolific TV creator is set to double down on that message with the lead casting for her new Peacock sitcom. Peacock revealed today that musician Sara Bareilles will serve as the lead on Girls5eva, an upcoming comedy from Fey and producing partner Robert Carlock. Girls5eva centers on a one-hit-wonder girls group from the ‘90s called “Girls5eva” When a young rapper samples one of their songs, it launches the group back into the national spotlight and gives them a chance at pop stardom once again....

Gaming PC enthusiasts have been trying to get their hands on new graphics cards to no avail, but there are other PC parts out there. NZXT is reminding us of that with its new internal USB hub. That might not seem like the sexiest PC item on the market, but it advertises a way to easily hide more inputs in your build. Now available for $22.99 on the NZXT site, this third iteration of the hub brings four internal USB 2....

There is almost what feels like a unanimous buzz around gaming culture about the success of Santa Monica Studio’s God of War. The soft reboot for the adventures of Kratos took a completely different direction with new combat, deeper narrative, a shift to Norse Mythology, and a giant open-world for players to explore. While the final product that made it into the hands of consumers is one likely to be nominated for many awards come the end of 2018, the process of building such a complex game comes with its struggles....

With very few exceptions, Flash games are usually designed as quick time killers based on very simple concepts. It’s for that reason why Super Smash Flash’s level of polish and popularity is so perplexing, even despite it relying on some of gaming and anime’s most popular franchises. Unlike Project M, Super Smash Flash is McLeodGaming’s take on Masahiro Sakurai’s Super Smash Bros. Series, built from the ground up to deliver slick platform fighting in your favorite web browser since 2006....
