While gamers will no doubt be rejoicing over the return of beloved Mass Effect characters in Mass Effect 3, there are some new characters joining the fray that BioWare hopes will become equally as revered.

Sports Interactive, the developers behind the football/soccer management simulator series Football Manager, has announced that Football Manager 2021 will be delayed. The blog entry announcing the delay cites the COVID-19 pandemic as the big reason behind this delay. On the game’s official website, studio director Miles Jacobson posted a blog entry talking about how the studio has been handling the pandemic.

There’s an old adage about Fable that involves an acorn. When the first was being marketed before release, designer Peter Molyneux showcased how players could plant an acorn, and as time passed throughout Fable, the acorn would slowly grow into a great tree. This fabled acorn didn’t make it into the final cut, and now it stands for many of Molyneux’s aspired features that didn’t make it into Fable. The franchise is under new management now, which means really anything goes for the next-gen Fable reboot....

Fortnite Season 6 is in full swing, and Epic Games continues to introduce fresh content into the free-to-play Battle Royale portion of the title, with a new Chiller Trap having been added just recently. In an additional bid to further player engagement, the developer has also decided to bring back the fan-favorite Limited Time Mode known as Soaring 50s.

It’s already been made clear that the Fortnite player community is an incredibly talented and creative group of people. Fans have designed their own, custom skins as well as those based on crossover partnerships, they’ve come up with hilarious memes, and they’ve come up with brilliant ways of securing Victory Royales. The latest fan creation is yet another example. On YouTube, Fortnite content creator JhbTeam posted a video called Fortnite: The Arcade Game which imagines the multiplayer shooter as a totally retro, arcade-style platformer....

Fortnite has had several in-game hints that it might be adding helicopters to the battle royale. Several helicopter pads litter the map, and photos including helicopters at the Grotto location have circulated. The most recent data leak coming from Fornite data-miner @spedicey1 on Twitter exposed a new update that may arrive as early as tomorrow. Sorting through all of the files, Spedicey1 uncovered that the helicopter’s code name was “Hoagie.” Fortnite has coded some of their secret items in the past and given the code name the same first letter as the item to be released....

Since the appearance of the mystery cube in Epic Games’ popular battle royale title Fortnite, players have been attempting to figure out what the cube is doing. This, of course, became much more complicated when the anti-gravity dome appeared around it.

Based on the runes that appear on the purple surface of the mystery cube, several players now think the cube, wherever else it goes, will end up in Tilted....

On top of that, the Virtual Cabin also included a series of puzzles scattered throughout the area....

Friends is one of the most loved and most remembered shows of all time. How could we ever forget the six attractive looking, yet awkward twenty to thirty-somethings who hung out in a coffee shop every day and never managed to have any relationship success? While the sitcom premise reflected many others of its time, Friends stands out in television history for its memorable jokes and characters. Despite being off the air for fourteen years, people still watch it on a regular basis....

Meanwhile, Animal Crossing: New Horizons will have its release date kept for March 20....

It seems like Xbox fans have experienced a rollercoaster of emotions over the past week. While many players were enthused to hear that Xbox had acquired Bethesda on Monday, those same players were less than thrilled to deal with the chaos that occurred when attempting to pre-order the Xbox Series X on Tuesday.

The game is a mostly cooperative multiplayer experience, with each player taking on the role of one of four survivors of a zombie outbreak....

Ghost of Tsushima has been such a huge success that even a UK game show contestant is referencing it on The Chase. The funny thing is that the host has also played it.

Launching today, the “Primal” update will add several new features to Godfall, including fresh levels focused on powering players up, a new loot modifier and stat window, and updates to the Tower of Trials....
