Battle royale gaming isn’t going away any time soon as both Fortnite and Warzone’s player bases continue to grow. There have been rumblings recently that Fortnite’s popularity is starting to dwindle. Someone might want to clue Fortnite in on that fact as its numbers tend to tell a different story. More than 12 million players logged in to watch Travis Scott perform his first concert live in-game last month, a record for the game....

About a month ago, the video game developer Epic Games decided to provide Fortnite Battle Royale players with a new way to get around the game’s map in Season 8 by introducing the spherical vehicle known as The Baller. Now, it looks as if the studio has been tinkering with the round vehicle’s attributes, and has concluded that The Baller’s overall health needs to be nerfed in the game. According to an announcement recently made by Fortnite developer Epic Games, the studio deployed a hot-fix not too long ago that wound up reducing the health of The Baller from 300 to 200....

Fortnite developer Epic Games is walking back its plans to introduce skill-based matchmaking into Battle Royale after fan response was decidedly negative. The company suggests that the concept might still appear in Fortnite in some form, but promises to take feedback into account and think carefully before making any changes to Battle Royale. In a lengthy post about planned updates coming soon and coming later, Epic Games gave players a taste of what was in the pipeline for Fortnite....

The Marvel-themed season of Fortnite content has been going strong for some time now, with fans about to get to work on unlocking another hero to fight with. The character is none other than Wolverine, and he has received a trailer of his own to go with his inclusion in the Fortnite battle pass. While many Fortnite players have been walking around as the recently added vampire slayer Blade, there is likely to be a sharp increase of players in the Wolverine skin....

Despite the fact that Season 7 Week 5’s challenges just recently went live in the wildly successful multiplayer survival shooter, Fortnite Battle Royale, it looks as if some fans are already eager to start preparing for next week’s list. As it so happens, a recent datamine seems to have managed to uncover what could be the Season 7 Week 6 Battle Pass Challenges several days ahead of their official reveal in the free-to-play title....

Friday the 13th: The Game has managed to pull itself together a very strong following, with the groundwork of that appearing when the game first started gaining crowdfunding support on sites such as Kickstarter. As it turns out, however, this swell of early support has managed to help the title break its way into the Guinness World Records, with Friday the 13th: The Game apparently earning itself the title of the most crowdfunded video game based on a movie....

Alongside the likes of E3 and GDC, Gamescom is one of the biggest video game events of the year. Press, media, and consumers alike all come together from across the globe to attend the convention, with video game developers showing off their newest games and making major announcements that are watched by video game fans across the globe. Naturally, many assumed that the major event would be canceled in the wake of the Coronavirus pandemic currently spreading across the world....

Update 7/13: The Coalition’s Rod Fergusson has now said that Gears 5 never had smoking at all, and so it wasn’t “removed” from the game at the suggestion of the Truth Initiative as previously reported. Original story follows. Past Gears of War games sometimes featured the characters smoking cigarettes and cigars, but that’s changing for the upcoming Gears 5. Anti-tobacco organization Truth Initiative approached Turner, which is hosting the ELeague Gears Summer Series Invitational and has broadcast rights to Gears 5, about removing smoking references from the game....

The Coalition reveals the first two free DLC maps for Gears of War 4 are legacy maps first seen in Gears of War 3, and fans can play them in November. The Coalition has ambitious plans when it comes to the post-launch support for Gears of War 4. For the foreseeable future, Gears of War 4 fans can look forward to two new maps added to the game every month, which should ensure that enthusiasts consistently have new content to sink their teeth into....

Water, earth, fire, air, and also ice and electricity because this isn’t Avatar: The Last Airbender but Genshin Impact. In any case, one element alone in Genshin Impact is not enough. The game’s combat system has been set up so that no one element is more useful than the other. Needless to say, a variety of elements is better, especially for anyone tired of their seemingly low DPS output; in that case, elemental combos are bound to happen....

With Xiao’s banner just around the corner, Genshin Impact releases new Primogem codes, and anyone hoping to pull the second five-star Anemo Vision to get his own dedicated banner will want to take advantage of the three redeemable codes below. Ganyu’s banner, Adrift in the Harbor, is still up and running. Ganyu is possibly the most hyped female five-star character to get her own banner. Though she’s a Cryo Vision who wields a bow, she’s far more powerful than the new Diona players got not too long ago....

Dragon Age: Inquisition saw the Inquisitor vanquish the ancient, blighted Tevinter mage Corypheus and finally close the Fade Rifts that were threatening to consume Thedas. The game’s Trespasser DLC expanded on the base game’s ending, offering genuine closure while presenting countless questions about the nature of the world in the process. As is the case with most Dragon Age games, the next game in the series is liable to answer at least some of those big questions – and offer major payoff on that big reveal from the end of Trespasser....

Only a couple of weeks ago, on January 15, one of the most ambitious Fallout: New Vegas mods released, dubbed The Frontier. It added 150+ hours of content at a sizable 35GB, but it was met with mixed reviews and some peculiar criticism. Now? It’s off-air entirely, as one of the developers was found to be sharing animated pedophilic content. The team behind this DLC-sized mod released a statement, “Some deeply concerning news has emerged in the past few hours....

PlayStation has released another entry in the God of War video series. These short documentary style videos go behind the scenes to explore the development of the game, and helps prepare audiences for what to expect in the newest entry of the acclaimed series. The most recent video focuses on Kratos’s new weapon, the Leviathan Axe. Considering how iconic and unique the Blades of Chaos were, it was probably a shock to some that Kratos would be trading them in for something a touch more plain-looking in the new God of War....

GoldenEye 007 and Super Mario 64 were two of the best games the N64 had to offer, and it has taken 24 years for someone to combine the two. The N64 might not have been the best-performing console in Nintendo’s history in terms of sales, but it is one that has left a lasting legacy. Super Smash Bros. debuted on the N64, as did 3D Mario. Prior to the release of Super Mario 64, Nintendo’s mascot had only appeared in two-dimensional sidescrollers....

FIFA 21 has proven to be another divisive title in the long running series. While some have welcomed the new team rosters and gameplay tweaks, others have been outspoken about the lack of innovation in the series over the best part of half a decade. Nonetheless, the latest release is still one of the biggest games of this October and while fans are conflicted, there are some notable changes in the game....

For any Final Fantasy 14 player looking to improve their Triple Triad game by getting some better cards, we’ve got a handy guide all about where you can find ten of the best cards in the game. It’s always worth having a variety of decks built, just in case you challenge an NPC that has certain rules in place. For example, the reverse rule would require a far weaker deck, though the default cards you receive are suitable for this....

Final Fantasy 14 is celebrating almost 11 years now since its original launch and just announced the Endwalker expansion for later this fall. As the game gears up to end the arc of Hyadaelyn and Zodiark, we had the chance to speak with the MMO’s iconic localization game about their process. We learned plenty from the experience, but perhaps the most interesting tidbit was on Emet-Selch - a villain who had a slightly different personality between the English and Japanese versions....

One truly determined player of developer Square Enix’s latest release, Final Fantasy 15, beats the role-playing game while at Level 1 without using any items. This particular feat has been accomplished through the handiwork of the YouTuber known as BOYvsVIDEOGAME (via Kotaku), with the Final Fantasy 15 fan completing the task of clearing the main quest to reach the end credits in just under nine hours and twenty-six seconds. Perhaps even more interestingly, in playing through the game without ever leveling up, BOYvsVIDEOGAME manages to net 266,566 points of experience points that he never once spends....
