After the announcement of the Monster Hunter World crossover at E3, the Final Fantasy 14 community has received a lot of attention, as the ambitious event peaked a lot of interest. However, it appears that not all is well within the dedicated MMORPG community since its official Discord has officially lost its partner status due to its NSFW channel. The loss of such a status comes with a serious cost. Because of this decision, the Final Fantasy 14 Discord has lost various personalization options, improved voice chat, several moderation tools, and a number of other perks....

Final Fantasy 15’s second expansion, the Episode Prompto DLC, has been getting positive press attention for some time now. Early demos show that Square Enix continues to tweak and perfect the Final Fantasy 15 experience, and Episode Prompto adds third-person shooter gameplay on top of snowmobile action and the return of Aranea Highwind, a fan favorite who was criminally underused in the game’s main narrative.

Last month, Square Enix canceled a Final Fantasy VII Remake themed live event being held in Japan over concerns of the spread of the coronavirus.

Dataminers have been hard at work since the launch of Fortnite’s v7.20 update earlier this week, and they have found a number of yet to be released items hidden in the game files. Among these items is what appears to be a new melee weapon bound for battle royale as well as a myriad of unreleased skins and cosmetics that players can expect to arrive down the line. Looking at the leak, as compiled by FNBR, it quickly becomes apparent that there are two primary aesthetics in play with these new cosmetic items: one continuing the wintry theme established by Fortnite’s seventh season and the other smacking of sci-fi and droids....

Google has removed Fortnite from the Play Store following Apple’s recent decision to also remove the popular gaming app from its App Store. “The open Android ecosystem lets developers distribute apps through multiple app stores,” Google says in a statement explaining their decision to remove the Fortnite app. “For game developers who choose to use the Play Store, we have consistent policies that are fair to developers and keep the store safe for users....

As Fortnite has grown immensely in the years since its initial release, much has changed in the battle royale game. One of the most important, and at the same time, contentious changes has been the implementation of Skill-Based Match Making (SBMM). As the name suggests, the feature is designed to place players of relatively close skill levels against each other in each match. Upon release, SBMM was added to solo, duos, and squads, making up the bulk of main modes experienced by players....

Similar to the popular online trend of “Get x amount of retweets and get _______,” one fan on Reddit got the attention of Bungie and sparked a fan challenge that will reward a player with a physical product. In a joke post, Reddit user Boobel posted “Petition to have Shadowkeep purchasable with Baryon Bough,” the planetary material found in Destiny 2’s Dreaming City....

Martin has recently reemerged, with the Game of Thrones writer confirming that he “consulted on a video game out of Japan.” Reports have further indicated that this video game may be a forthcoming open world game called Great Rune, and a mysterious subreddit has just given further credence to this rumor....

Cartoons: even today they still have an impact. We all grew up with them and have more than a few favorites, whether you like older or newer ones. Here’s one thing that’s not as popular as it was back then, though: cartoons starring talking animals. Aside from a handful of shows and one or two films, there isn’t much on that spectrum that’s really popular. Nothing against the cartoons today, but there’s a lack of nostalgic cartoons starring animals that left a huge impact....

It appears to attempt to bridge the gap between those that have access to tutors for competitive play and those that wouldn’t think of such a thing. Activision has offered a litany of competitive titles in the past, resulting in the Call of Duty League along with Overwatch League. Esports is an ever-growing interest for the modern era: the University of Connecticut posed that “esports and mobile gaming are the future of the video game industry....

Before the failure of the Wii U, Nintendo was at the top of its game with the original Wii, which attracted people from all walks of life, including royalty, or so we’ve been led to believe. Back in 2009, the Wii made headlines all over the world when news broke that Queen Elizabeth II was a proud owner of a gold-plated Wii console. Ten years have passed, and it seems that most people have forgotten that the golden Wii ever existed....
