A group of new Location Domination challenges are now live in Fortnite, and while many are quite straightforward, that is not the case for all of them. One of the current Fortnite Location Domination challenges that may be giving players a bit of trouble asks fans to destroy Gnomes at Camp Cod or Fort Crumpet, and this brief guide will help them do exactly that. To put things simply, the location of Fort Crumpet in Fortnite is directly to the northwest of Sweaty Sands, and the location of Camp Cod is on the island to the southeast of Misty Meadows....

A recent Fortnite leak reveals a new feature for NPCs may soon be added to the game. The rumored addition will enable players to sell loot to a select number of Fortnite’s various NPCs around the map in exchange for Gold Bars. Introduced in Season 5, Gold Bars act as Fortnite’s currency, allowing players to purchase different services from the island’s many inhabitants. The Gold Bars can do a number of things, depending on who is spoken to, including revealing treasure chests, purchasing and upgrading standard weapons, or even hiring NPCs directly to fight....

While the addition of Jetpacks within the free-to-play Battle Royale portion of Fortnite has been somewhat of a contentious subject within the popular multiplayer sandbox survival title’s community, Epic Games has made sure to state that it is only going to be available for a limited time. Speaking of Jetpacks, the Limited Time Mode that was designed as a way for players to get used to the item, Close Encounters, has been temporarily disabled shortly after its introduction....

U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers has issued a restraining order against Apple which will temporarily prevent them from denying Epic Games access to the Apple Developer Program and the iOS version of the Unreal Engine. “I am not inclined to grant relief with respect to the games,” said Judge Rogers at the start of the hearing (as reported by The Verge). “But I am inclined to grant relief with respect to the Unreal Engine....

Grenade-throwing has now been disabled by Fortnite developer Epic Games in the popular battle royale game after numerous players discovered a bug that allowed them to exploit the weapon. The act is temporary, though it was made to ensure that players could not throw more than one grenade at a time. The developer took to Twitter to announce that they were coming up with a solution to the bug and would re-enable grenades in Fortnite alongside an update at a later time....

Fortnite’s v5.10 Content Update is live, and the patch notes show quite a few changes that are worth being aware of. For starters, the Guided Missile Launcher has finally made its return, and there’s also a new LTM that will see players fly around the map raining down explosives on their enemies. The Guided Missile Launcher caused a lot of controversy when it was introduced to the game a few months ago....

Ryan Reynolds seems to be on a roll, from his shrewd business ventures regarding Aviation Gin and the Wrexham AFC football team to his high-profile movie roles as the titular characters in Deadpool and Detective Pikachu. Now with his latest starring role in Free Guy, Ryan Reynolds plays his second consecutive character named Guy and tackles the wide world of open-world video games. In Free Guy, Ryan Reynolds plays a bank teller who comes to the realization that he’s a non-playable character in an MMORPG....

Freedom Planet may have started off as a fan-game, but the finished product is an engaging and inventive platformer that does more than piggyback on the successes of others. In recent years, it’s been rare that any significant amount of time goes by by without a new indie title that leverages nostalgia and familiarity to carve out an audience. While many of these releases only seek to retread the past, the best examples aim a little higher — and that’s exactly the case for Freedom Planet....

Fighting a boss has always been one of the biggest and most bombastic moments in video gaming, with this trend carrying on from its inception until right now, evolving in ways that one could never have imagined. Boss fights are a culmination of everything the player has learned up until that point and puts all of this to the test in a memorable showdown for the ages. It seems that it’s this exact energy that The Game Bakers wanted to incorporate into their boss rush game, Furi....

Game Freak is taking a zero-tolerance stance on a new exploit discovered in Pokémon Sword and Shield’s online mode. Dubbed the “disconnect rank glitch,” the gist is that players can disconnect from a match online at just the right time to ensure they don’t lose any rank points. In a nice double whammy, the opponent won’t gain any points for the win either. It’s a scummy move. In an announcement on the official Pokémon website, Game Freak explains that it will begin banning players that consistently exploit this glitch....

Like the haunting refrains of “Jenny of Oldstones,” the ghost of Game of Thrones is walking loudly amongst us. Appropriately timed during the same week as Halloween and the Day of the Dead, the old agonies and ecstasies of HBO’s flagship series have been awoken as WarnerMedia made waves by announcing that one Game of Thrones prequel, The Long Night, is dead while another is alive. Not only is it alive, but House of the Dragon is going straight to series with George R....

When we all started playing Genshin Impact, it seems like an easy, peaceful, and chill game that probably didn’t follow Breath of the Wild’s combat philosophy, despite taking inspiration from it. Then we all got to Adventure Rank 35+ and the world stopped being cute and cuddly and started mangling your cute anime characters to bits while you wonder how this all happened. Genshin Impact sneakily punishes players for making poor decisions in the early game....

As the next banner event in Genshin Impact draws near, fans now have a much better idea of which five-star character might steal the spotlight. Lover of spirits, butterflies, and spirit butterflies, it has been rumored that Hu Tao might on a 1.3 banner since January, but fans were also surprised when the latest banner featured Keqing and not Hu Tao. But with the release of a new teaser trailer featuring Hu Tao, it seems likely she will be the character to headline the third 1....

Most of the combat-related trophies in Ghost of Tsushima are fairly straightforward. You either shoot a fleeing foe or kick a guy off of a cliff. It’s not hard to figure out what the game is asking of you in those instances. What might be a little confusing is the “All in the Wrist” trophy. One of the neater features of Sucker Punch’s samurai epic is the “standoff” mechanic. This lets you walk up to enemy encampments and call out the Mongols to a formal duel....

Ubisoft announced that Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint will be releasing its Title Update 3.0.0 on September 15th for all platforms. The update will include a new class, new PvP maps, a new adventure, and more. Breakpoint has had a bit of a rocky reception compared to Ubisoft’s more popular Tom Clancy title, Rainbow Six. Even after implementing extensive reworkings like the Ghost Experience update to improve the game, Breakpoint remains a title with a history of significant player frustration....

Ghost Recon Breakpoint finally gives players some much needed assistance in the form of AI teammates. Coming in a free update on July 15, solo players will finally be able to experience the Wildlands sequel the same way that they played the first one. There are some interesting features that come with this teammate addition, but the overall change should be welcome news for disgruntled Ghost Recon fans. Since Breakpoint was first announced, the excitement for a sequel to the much-loved Ghost Recon Wildlands reached incredible heights....

The PlayStation Studios team has finally confirmed God of War Ragnarok’s release date (November 9) and even revealed an elaborate special edition of the upcoming game to celebrate the announcement. While those two updates have understandably been dominating headlines in the last 24 hours or so, it’s worth noting that the Ragnarok team also released a new trailer for the long-awaited sequel. Granted, that trailer was little more than a CG showcase designed to whet our appetites, but it happened to feature our first look at a giant wolf that has confused GoW fans and Norse mythology buffs alike....

Godfall developer Keith Lee (not to be mistaken with WWE superstar Keith Lee) has revealed how his studio got to a place where it’s producing an AAA title set to launch along with Sony’s PS5. The title was the first confirmed release for the PS5 and will be available as soon as the console drops this November 12 - it went gold back in September. The action RPG, described as a looter-slasher as it is based on the looter-shooter concept but more focused on melee action, is developed by Lee’s Counterplay Games and published by Borderlands creators Gearbox Software....

Stadia’s catalog continues to grow, as this week it will add FIFA 21, Dragon Quest XI S, and Terraria. In fact, Dragon Quest XI S is already available on the platform –with FIFA 21 following on March 17 and Terraria the next day on March 18.

When Final Fantasy 7 originally launched for the PlayStation back in 1997, it introduced players to a whole new world and a host of interesting characters. However, one of the characters in the game didn’t get as much spotlight as he deserved - Zack Fair. Fortunately, this was corrected when Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 released for the PlayStation Portable in 2008, where Zack became the leading man, and fans were able to get a better look at this brilliant character....
