Fire Emblem: Three Houses features an array of diverse and intriguing characters that fans passionately adore. One of the most popular characters to come out in the 16th entry in the series is Lysithea von Ordelia, a noble from the Leicester Alliance and part of the Golden Deer house. Thanks to her popularity, she won second place for the fourth Fire Emblem: Heroes Choose Your Legends event and fans are eagerly waiting to know what she will have by the time August rolls around....

For a multiplayer game that has only really had one map for players to fight on since launch, Fortnite has managed to find that sweet spot with updates in order to keep community interest strong. In addition to continually adding new content, game modes, and map tweaks, Fortnite has been able to sustain its audience thanks in large part to consistent updates to address any issues that may crop up. And now another week brings another update to the massively popular Battle Royale game....

Epic Games is celebrating Valentine’s Day in a big way by featuring a new event for Fortnite called Hearts Wild. The event includes a couple of quests that involve finding Fishstick, one of Fortnite’s many NPCs, the fish partner of his dreams. In this guide, players will learn how to collect chocolate boxes from Pleasant Park, Holly Hedges, or Retail Row to complete Lovely’s missions. These chocolate boxes will typically just be found sitting on a bed or a table in several different homes throughout the map and shouldn’t be too difficult to grab, as long as other Fortnite players aren’t getting in the way....

One of Fortnite’s new Storm The Agency challenges requires players to open faction-locked chests. Here’s where to find them and how to get it done. This season of Fortnite will soon come to a close. Although Season 3 was recently delayed, it is still slated to kick off next month — unless Epic Games decides to push it back yet again. Before the season comes to an end, there are more challenges to get done, even for players who have stayed on top of that type of thing....

Fortnite’s Hype Nites are set to return later this month, so what are they exactly, how can players take part, and what are Hype points? One of the reasons why Fortnite has managed to remain so popular for the first three years of its existence is due to the fact it continues to evolve. Had it remained a one-dimensional battle royale game in which players land, fight, die, and start again repeatedly, chances are it wouldn’t be around today....

After a long wait, Fortnite’s Joyride Update has officially launched, adding drivable vehicles to the battle royale juggernaut’s map. Bringing several vehicle types with different characteristics, specific ways to find fuel, and a damage system unlike anything we’ve seen in other games, the update has a lot to unpack. So, here’s everything you need to know about cars in Fortnite. Vehicle Types Fortnite has four different types of vehicles: sedans, sports cars, trucks, and semi-trucks....

Looks like Fortnite Chapter 2 is going two for two with seasonal delays. After extending the first season of the game following its big relaunch last year, Epic Games has announced that it will be doing the same for the current one. Originally, the developer was planning to start Season 3 on April 30, but today it confirmed that it has pushed that date back to June 4, meaning fans will have to wait until the start of summer to see what Epic has in store for the game beyond the spy-themed content it’s been bringing with Season 2....

A few days ago, the Fortnite Item Shop ran a new rare skin, dubbed Grimbles, which was seemingly inspired by the gnomes around the battle island. But one Fortnite fan disagrees, arguing that it was taken from a concept that they designed and posted about eight months ago. This fan, known online as yg99, had designed a concept he called “the Woodland Warriors.” As seen below, his concept was a pair of gnomish brothers, Klaus and David, out on a quest for revenge....

Those that somehow haven’t had a chance to play Rocket League are in luck. Not only is Rocket League going free-to-play in the fall, but Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 players won’t need to subscribe to either console’s online service to play online. Earlier in the year it was announced by developer Psyonix that Rocket League would be going through some major changes come the fall. In addition to going free-to-play, the game would see significant changes to its seasonal content, competitive ranking, and the addition of a new player experience for the plethora of new players likely to try the game with no price barrier....

Getting noticed on Steam can be a tough task for small developers. However, it looks like one publisher and developer, Very Positive, has found a way to pull a fast one on Steam users. For clarity, yes, that’s the studio name, Very Positive. As highlighted by an excellent investigation into a bizarre game by The GameDiscoverCo Newsletter, there’s something fishy going on with the game Emoji Evolution. At a pass, it just looks like another small independent title that found a little slice of the internet to appeal to, but its Steam rankings are suspicious....

The mother of dragons from HBO’s hit series Game of Thrones will have dinner with one lucky donor. Actress Emilia Clarke, who starred as Daenerys Targaryen in Game of Thrones, is working with SameYou to help fight COVID-19. SameYou was created by Clarke to help those who suffer from brain injuries, but they’re turning their efforts towards a more immediate threat. Clarke, who suffered from two brain aneurysms during the filming of Game of Thrones, is now setting her sights on helping medical workers find a cure for COVID-19....

Truly we have reached the endgame for Game of Thrones. The Wall is down, snow is falling on the capital, and perhaps most heartbreakingly, Sean Bean’s Ned Stark was commemorated tonight. A lot. When showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss remind you of Lord Eddard Stark’s honor (and horrific stupidity), you know they’re bringing back into focus what this has always been about. A pack of Stark wolves and the world out to devour them....

Despite how the landscape might look from the outside looking in, Sony claims PS4 owners spend more time playing offline than online. It feels a little like if a new game doesn’t have some sort of online element to it, then it is doomed to fail. Titles and franchises are adding and sometimes even shoehorning in battle royale modes in an attempt to appeal to as wide an audience as possible....

Twenty-one years ago on February 27th, 1996, Pokémon Green and Red released in Japan. What would transpire in those next twenty-one years was unlike anything the video game industry had ever seen. The game franchise, that on its own sold Nintendo handhelds like hotcakes, emerged into one of the biggest hit of the 1990s in pop culture, and has continued into today without losing much steam. As generation upon generation of new Pokémon made their way into the spotlight, so did generations in society adopt to the cause that is “Pocket Monsters”....

We’ve known for some time that Battlefield 3 would support co-operative gameplay. The first concrete details arrived a few months ago but today, at Gamescom 2011 in Germany, EA offered-up a sneak peek at what eager players can expect when they gather-up a squadmate and hit the war-torn Battlefield 3 turf. In addition to the co-op video, DICE has also unveiled a new teaser-trailer for Battlefield 3, a montage of action from a 64 person brawl on the Caspian Border map - that features plenty of gorgeous Frostbite 2....

The coronavirus pandemic was responsible for many large-scale events needing to be reworked into being digital events or being canceled altogether last year. Companies and organizations the world over have managed to adapt and embraced holding their planned events digitally, such as Gamescom which still managed to host some game reveals like a new Dragon Age 4 teaser. However, this year, Gamescom’s aiming to be held physically again, albeit with some major changes....

There’s been a lot of speculation surrounding E3’s relevance in our modern minute-to-minute news climate. While it can be great fun to see all of the industry’s major players gather together in Los Angeles once a year and vie for the attention of consumers, the conference has seen a major drop-off in terms of bombshell announcements and unprecedented reveals. Thanks to the increasing accuracy of leaks and more transparent development schemes, some are starting to wonder if gamers will ever be surprised by a major announcement again....

While most of the comparisons between Genshin Impact and Breath of the Wild are pretty surface level, there are definitely some mechanical similarities that can be drawn between the two. For example, both titles place an active emphasis on the act of fishing — and while fishing may be one of the most common side activities in video games, Genshin Impact makes the process so simple you may accidentally overlook it as a mechanic altogether....

Early on in Genshin Impact, the player will be directed to go and visit Mondstadt’s blacksmith. He’s a bit short with the player and doesn’t seem to value small talk, but Paimon assures the Traveller that he’ll be useful on the journey as one of Mondstadt’s important shops. Trading ores to the blacksmith rewards the players with weapon enhancement materials used to upgrade weapons. Leveling up weapons is a really important aspect of Genshin Impact....

Ghosts ’n Goblins Resurrection is the latest attempt to bring an iconic franchise back into the spotlight, seeking to modernize the formula that made the original Ghosts ’n Goblins a success way back on the NES. For the most part, the game succeeds at what it sets out to do, but longtime fans of the series may find themselves reminiscing about the classic game by the time the credits roll....
