Developer MiHoYo has no plans to bring Genshin Impact to Xbox platforms, but new characters, locations, and ideas for next-generation consoles are on the way. Genshin Impact is the newest free-to-play open-world RPG from the Shanghai-based MiHoYo, and it has fans drawing major comparisons to Breath of the Wild. Much of the game looks to be inspired by Breath of the Wild’s success, but Genshin Impact has proven to have its own unique charms and mechanics....

That’s right, big George may be coming back to the galaxy as 2020 continues to just be the weirdest year ever. In a new rumor that’s come right out of nowhere, George Lucas may be in talks to replace Kathleen Kennedy as the president of Lucasfilm. The creator of Star Wars famously stepped down from his duties of shepherding the franchise when he sold the rights to Disney for the hefty sum of 4 billion dollars....

Last week, Sony gave us a more in-depth look at Sucker Punch’s Ghost of Tsushima. An open-world game set in Edo period Japan, the game is certainly a technological showpiece for Sony’s aging PS4 console. Set to feature all kinds of fancy buzzwords (4K output, HDR color, realistic wind physics), it feels like something is missing: a clear art direction. When I sent the trailer to my friend to discuss how I was pretty disappointed with the generic-looking open-world design, the first thing he said to me was, “Breath of the Wild looks better....

Ubisoft reveals the minimum and recommended PC spec requirements for Ghost Recon: Wildlands along with a list of supported graphics cards and controllers. Ghost Recon: Wildlands is undoubtedly one of the most highly anticipated games of the year. That said, the game’s closed beta a few weeks ago struggled to win favor thanks to numerous bugs, glitches, and gamer complaints. Fortunately, Ubisoft will have another chance to prove Ghost Recon: Wildlands is worth a buy with its upcoming open beta....

About a month ago, details regarding a potential God of War PS4 Pro bundle leaked online, giving those looking forward to the action-adventure franchise’s next entry hope that Sony Interactive Entertainment and Santa Monica Studio would commemorate the title’s release with a special version of the system.

Folks from WB Games Montreal give Bat-fans a twist on Batman games by killing the Bat right off the bat (no pun intended). In Gotham Knights, Bruce Wayne sends a message to four of his proteges after his supposed death. And while Gotham’s criminals rejoice, the rest of the Bat-Family take the fight to them. As such, players take control of Robin, Batgirl, Nightwing, and Red Hood in a cooperative game that is by no means similar to the Arkham series....

Next-gen consoles are finally here! Of course, everyone has their favorite console, and those opinions are what fuel the so-called “console wars.” In what we hope was a fun poke at a “rival” console lover, a FedEx driver wrote “PlayStation is better” on the delivery slip for an Xbox. In the age of the pandemic, getting a new console means having it delivered to your door. Retailers aren’t offering consoles at physical locations as they would have in previous years....

Square Enix has gone festive with Final Fantasy 15 in time for the holidays, but not all items in the two Holiday Packs are equal - here are the ones you should care about. Final Fantasy 15 delivered on its initial promise, and now it appears to be following up with another milestone in its pursuit of providing a stream of meaningful DLC content. One of the best RPGs of 2016 just became significantly better with its most recent update, which boasts a Final Fantasy 15 New Game+ Mode and several different bug fixes just in time for a holiday rush that will likely see a swell in player numbers post-Christmas....

Fire Emblem: Three Houses’ Maddening Mode is often regarded as one of the toughest and frustrating difficulties the series has seen. Players who attempt the difficulty without the correct preparations or strategies may find the difficulty more than they are willing to put up with. One of the key factors when completing Maddening Mode is to make sure that one using the strongest units at their disposal and making the most out of their resources....

Coupons on eBay aren’t common, but every now and then they become available at select retailers on select items. Even rarer is when they apply to PlayStation hardware discounts, but if you’ve been searching far and wide for a PS4 Pro or PlayStation VR deal, today’s limited time sale will grant you discounts up to $50 on select Sony hardware. While the PS4 Pro deal has been around since last Friday, the PS VR deal was spotted as recently as last night....

Marvel’s Avengers brought a renaissance for superheroes with the MCU. In many ways, comic book fans have the Avengers movies to thank for making nerd culture more mainstream, though not every one Earth’s mightiest heroes outings actually saw the light of day, including a canceled Avengers game by THQ. However, it appears footage from that title has leaked, showing fans what could have been. Of course, this game shouldn’t be confused with Square Enix’s upcoming Avengers game....

Having secured a $30 million investment from NetEase, Second Dinner has obtained a license from Marvel to work on a new game for mobile devices....

It is impossible for everyone to share the same opinions. There are opinions that are mostly agreed upon in the Fortnite community. And there are also unpopular opinions that inevitably stand out. It is only natural for people to disagree. We’ll look into some of the most unpopular Fortnite-related opinions that we found on Reddit. They range anywhere from opinions about cosmetics to asking Epic Games to remove the building mechanic from the game....

In what’s only the latest example of Epic Games responding to Fortnite community requests, it appears that the much-requested fan-made Tender Defender skin may soon be released. In September an eight-year-old boy drew up the design of a skin he’d love to see in his favorite game. He dubbed the skin the Chicken Trooper, a feathered, chicken-headed hero. The fanciful fan-art quickly became a community icon after the boy’s father posted it on Reddit, and now it looks like it may be added to Fortnite itself in the relatively near future....
