Cory Barlog, director of the new God of War game on PlayStation 4, takes to Twitter to answer fan questions, revealing its inspirations, New Game Plus, and more. We haven’t seen much of the new God of War game since it was first revealed to the world at E3 2016 in June. While we probably won’t see more of the game for awhile, director Cory Barlog is making the wait for another look at God of War less painful by answering fan questions about it on Twitter....

Batman is dead in Gotham Knights. No, that isn’t a spoiler. The Gotham Knights team has made it very clear that the game is being built around Batman’s death and that they’re not trying to trick people into falling for the Dark Knight’s surprise, playable protagonist comeback. This doesn’t seem to be a “Benedict Cumberbatch is definitely not playing Khan” situation. It might seem strange that the team at WB Games Montréal is going out of its way to emphasize that Batman is really, truly dead in Gotham Knights, but their emphasis on that point actually makes a lot of sense....

FIFA Ultimate Team is the most widely played game mode in EA’s long-running soccer franchise, and it shouldn’t really surprise anyone.

With the introduction of the FUT Icon cards to the series, players could hope to draw some of the best players in soccer history and incorporate them into their rosters, without having to worry about squad chemistry....

Although the year is far from over, it’s already safe to say that Final Fantasy 7 Remake is a Game of the Year contender. The re-imagining of the seminal 90s RPG amazed thousands when it dropped back in April, bringing brand new combat, wonderfully enhanced visuals, and a host of significant narrative changes to one of gaming’s most iconic stories. However, the remake didn’t offer the entire experience of the original, settling instead to craft an intricate and much longer re-imagining of the classic RPG’s early Midgar section....

While Final Fantasy 7 is normally the fan-favorite and as such was given the full works and treated to a remake, Final Fantasy 8 is a close contender among fans for top Final Fantasy title. Quite a few of the older games within the franchise have been remastered for some time, but in September of 2019 fans were finally able to get their hands on Final Fantasy 8 Remastered. The game was given a new lease of life with enhanced character models and high-definition graphics; however, as well as improving and adding to the game, there are notably a few things missing…...

And with all of the recent teases of a 2019 release coming from the likes of voice actor Troy Baker, Walmart Canada, and Hideo Kojima himself, that’s likely to increase the hype behind the action game. However, despite the high levels of mystery, a glimpse of Kojima’s latest project has been recently been showcased to another studio....

Biomutant released to a lot of criticism, but developer Experiment 101 has been working hard over the past two weeks to improve their troubled fur baby, especially when it comes to Biomutant’s early game. Update 1.4 overhauls the opening sections of Biomutant while also tamping down that talkative narrator and adding in an “extreme” difficulty setting. The only console-specific fix given to PS4 players to fix a few buffer crashes. Besides that, the patch notes are identical for both PC and consoles....

Fortnite’s Creative Mode gives players the chance to use the game’s assets to create their very own battle islands and game worlds. One fan has put the Creative Mode tools to very good use, recreating the Dunder Mifflin Scranton office building from the hit TV sitcom The Office in the battle royale game. Reddit user OddEditButOkay’s Dunder Mifflin recreation is very impressive, with sharp attention to detail. As can be seen in the video below, players can visit the desks of Dwight and Jim, spend some time in the infamous conference room, grab a snack in the break room, or even shoot hoops in the warehouse like the famous season 1 episode....

Fortnite has been one of the most popular games of the past few years. But it’s also seen its fair share of silly, game-altering, and unfortunate glitches, with a most recent glitch seeing the battle bus leaving players behind at the starting island.

It isn’t just killer characters and in-game maps that are getting new upgrades in Illfonic Games’ Friday the 13th: The Game - clothing packs are, too.
