Gamers have spotted a very neat detail in one of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate’s new stages. The Great Plateau Tower, a location from The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild, contains a secret message written in the games’s ancient language. Observant fans discovered that this message changes during the battle, and at one point will even reveal Smash Bros-specific text. The Great Plateau Tower is modeled after the same structure found in Breath Of The Wild’s Hyrule....

Borderlands fans aren’t hurting for content. In addition to last fall’s Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, which offered another round of the first-person shoot-and-loot gameplay and off-color humor the series is famous for, last December Telltale Games launched a surprisingly successful lore-based spin-off, Tales from the Borderlands. There’s more coming, too. Later this year, Chinese players will get Borderlands Online, a free-to-play twist on the franchise that adds MMORPG trappings. And then on March 24, gamers around the world will get to re-live their Pandora-based adventures with Borderlands: The Handsome Jack Collection, which brings the series to current-generation consoles with improved graphics and local multiplayer....

Video game developer The Coalition officially announces the hip-hop supergroup known as Run the Jewels will join Gears of War 4’s playable character roster. As many gamers are more than likely aware at this point, Gears of War 4 has already received loads of positive reviews for the glut of options and solid gameplay on display within the third-person shooter’s multiplayer and Horde modes, but it seems as if the title from The Coalition is about to get even more enjoyable....

Since its release in September of 2020, Genshin Impact has stood as one of the most popular games in recent years. Often compared to big titles like The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild, Genshin Impact features RPG elements, action-based battles, and a gacha game monetization system. This game is full of adventures, quests to complete, and characters to meet throughout Teyvat. While it has a considerable amount of playable characters, one of the things that stands out the most about Genshin Impact is the detail of its numerous NPCs, with dialogues that link them to each other and make the game’s lore richer....

In Mondstadt, there are humans and then after that, only Gods. Liyue does things differently as there’s actually a mid-point between Archons and lowly human beings. They are called Adepti or Adeptus if singular. They’re introduced like special guests and throughout the story quests and other missions, there are several of them. Some Adepti are even playable characters but who and what exactly is this unique group? More importantly, what is their role in Liyue?...

Jean is one of the most famous faces in Mondstadt, and the people of the city adore her. Even the mysterious Diluc seems to hold great respect for Jean. Players of Genshin Impact pine for this five-star character as she is both a useful fighter and a great healer. Jean is the current acting Grand Master of the knights and is seen as one of the few reasons why Mondstadt remains safe....

In Genshin Impact, the two best attack weapons are usually the sword and the claymore. Both weapons are among the most common in the game. As it stands, certain characters can only use specific weapons and it just so happens that choosing your main character also confines you to their weapon. But why limit yourself? Because grinding for resources in Genshin Impact is the very definition of insanity. That’s why choosing to be efficient with resources, such as enhancement ores for the weapons and adventure books for their respective characters, can make a whole world of difference when it comes to enjoying the current endgame....

Genshin Impact has had to tweak Zhongli quite a few times since his release. Like most Geo characters, he is a great support character, but many players want to use him as a DPS. In the game, he is the archon of geo and known for his ability to subdue evil gods in the past. He is a five-star spear user who, like most other five-stars, has a unique kit that takes a bit to master....

It is no secret that Ghost Recon: Breakpoint is one of the most disappointing games of 2019 after a lukewarm reception and a not-so-impressive performance in the market. Ever since its release, the game was bombarded with negative reviews, and even long-time fans of the Ghost Recon series were unable to look past the shortcomings of Ghost Recon: Breakpoint. Now, it is evident that Ubisoft is not ready to give up on the game yet and has since introduced new updates including a new immersive mode and the second episode of its ongoing DLC....

Kratos, the main protagonist of the God of War franchise, is one of the most recognizable figures in video game history. Even if gamers haven’t played a single God of War game, they can at least recognize Kratos’ tattooed ghost-white face. Fans of the franchise, though, know more than just the details of Kratos’ design; they also know the story behind it. On top of being a staple mascot for the PlayStation brand, there are so many more things about Kratos that make him a highly interesting character....

It’s hard to believe that the widely anticipated remake of Resident Evil 3 has been out for nearly two months. In that time, the gaming community has poured a lot of attention and love into Resident Evil 3 in the form of cosplay, fan art, and game mods. Though, this new mod allows the user to play as Jill Valentine dressed up as one of the most beloved PlayStation characters of all time....

It was recently revealed that combat in Gotham Knights will be particularly well-suited to players who are comfortable with contemporary third-person brawlers. The news comes from a recent interview conducted by IGN, during which Gotham Knights creative director Patrick Redding and senior producer Fleur Marty unveiled some new details in terms of what fans can expect from the upcoming non-Batman Batman game. “We have gone through and iterated on control schemes quite a bit over the course of the whole project, but it’ll be comfortable to people who are familiar with third-person brawler type experiences,” Redding told IGN....

Thanks to Final Fantasy 14, fans of the hit Square Enix franchise can take on the role of heroes and defend the world with their friends. Moreover, like other Final Fantasy games, players can protect the realms by taking on Classes that eventually lead to more specialized Jobs. In the case of the Paladin, players transition into this holy warrior from the Gladiator Class. In FF 14, Paladins specialize in using swords and shields....

Final Fantasy 14’s producer and director is beloved by his community for plenty of reasons. He’s often quite candid with the player base and has a history of openness with his thoughts and feelings on the state of the game and its emotional impact. His New Year’s Eve message was no different, as Yoshida thanked those working the hardest right now and discussed the MMO’s future. You’ve heard it a million times, but 2020 was tough for everyone for obvious reasons....

Many fans are eagerly awaiting more details about Final Fantasy 16, the next title in the storied JRPG franchise. Information has been revealed at a very slow pace since its announcement and first reveal trailer. The game has, as made clear by the reveal trailer and developer comments, a heavy focus on action in its combat system. This has been a common trend in JRPG games for more than a decade, as classic franchises move toward modern real-time combat....

A few weeks ago, a viral video went around when Aerith’s actress from Final Fantasy 7 Remake posted her reaction to seeing her character in the game for the first time. That was Briana White, actress and content creator, who shared this wholesome and inspiring moment with her existing fans as well as the gaming community around the world. And like many other creators around the world, she is streaming her first full playthrough of the game to her many fans....

If you’re playing through the Final Fantasy 7 Remake for the first time, one of the more puzzling choices might be that of the Stairs and the Elevator in Shinra Tower. Shinra Tower is a huge monolith, and getting to the top isn’t easy - unless you take the elevator. But it does pose a few questions. Namely, what happens in each route? What do we miss by not taking those routes?...

As the final trailer for Final Fantasy 7 Remake comes out before the full release, fans can get the last few hints and details before jumping into Cloud’s reimagined adventure. Even though the latest trailer was chock full of spoilers, there was a vague hint at the end of the video about a certain other character’s return. Or rather, a much earlier entrance of a character pivotal to the original game’s narrative payoff....

Today, Nintendo surprised fans everywhere by announcing that they’re releasing Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light for the Nintendo Switch on December 4. Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light isn’t just the first game in the Fire Emblem series but a long-standing historical curiosity among many Nintendo fans. While it was released in Japan in 1990 (despite being developed as more of an internal passion project), Nintendo never officially ported the game to the West despite the growth of the Fire Emblem series over the years....
