Final Fantasy XIV is Square Enix’s MMORPG that originally launched in 2010; after being negatively received on release, a new team was brought in and it was re-released in 2013 under the A Realm Reborn banner. The game has since gone on to become a massive success, being nominated for and winning multiple awards, as well as releasing several expansions. The game boasts one of the best character customization options for players that any MMO has to offer, and with the additional races that have been added via expansions, there are now even more ways to perfect your personal character....

Final Fantasy 14 patch 5.4, Futures Rewritten, is out next week on December 8, and as usual Square Enix released their preliminary patch notes ahead of the content drop. Another round of notes will release once the patch is live or undergoing maintenance, but from the looks of it, there’s already a lot planned for Tuesday. Back in August, Final Fantasy 14 saw an end to the story of Shadowbringers in the form of patch 5....

Au Ra was a race introduced to Final Fantasy XIV in its Heavensward expansion. They are basically dragon people who have hyur-like qualities but with horns, some scales, and tails. The differences between the male and females are actually more dramatic than in other races, with the males being very tall and possessing angular faces and the females being nearly half their height and having softer features. Their unique design has given rise to a lot of Au Ra fan art....

The curtain has been pulled back on an epic fan battle once more, as Fire Emblem stans are poised to overthrow the likes of Marth with a meme. The mobile game Fire Emblem Heroes is holding its annual fan vote, one that ends with four characters being turned into high-tier characters in special costumes. And if the latest results are any indication, a random castle guard will be taking home the W....

Is it possible to become an Animal Crossing “bellionaire” (aka, accumulate a billion bells in one Animal Crossing playthrough) without any assists or cheats? Just a week ago, that feat might have seemed impossible. But this past Friday, gamer BrianMP16 made gaming history as the first person to legitimately earn this title. However, his feats don’t stop there. Immediately after reaching bellionaire status, BrianMP16 announced plans to celebrate his accomplishment by raising money to donate to victims affected by the Nashville tornado disaster that took place on March 3, 2020 - specifically, he hoped to donate money towards animal shelters housing pets who were abandoned during the tornado....

Battle royale games are all the rage nowadays, mostly thanks to popular titles like PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds and Fortnite. Unfortunately, Nintendo Switch owners haven’t been able to get in on the craze, as there are currently no battle royale games available for the console. However, that could change in the future, as Donald Mustard, worldwide creative director of Epic Games, says he is interested in bringing Fortnite to the Switch. Responding to a fan on Twitter, Mustard said that “hopefully” we will see Fortnite come to the Switch at some point....

While a majority of Fortnite’s Season 5 Week 6 challenges are fairly straightforward, that is not the case with absolutely all of them. Perhaps the most opaque of the new weekly challenges is the one that instructs players to signal the Coral Buddies, and indeed some fans may be confused about exactly how to complete this task. Fortunately, it is not extremely difficult to signal the Coral Buddies in Fortnite, and this guide has full details on the process....

Fortnite’s Battle Royale mode released in full last week and players have been enjoying the 100-person player versus player gameplay. But while most have been playing nice, some haven’t been abiding by the rules, and now developer Epic Games has taken action. In an update on the game’s website, Epic confirms that it has banned “thousands” of Fortnite Battle Royale cheaters and it has “no plans to stop” waving the banhammer either....

Last year, Epic Games purchased Rocket League developer Psyonix. Now, as Rocket League is preparing to transition to being free-to-play on the Epic Games Store, an in-game event for Rocket League is launching to celebrate. The Llama-Rama event starts on September 26 at 3:00 p.m. PT and brings popular items from Fortnite to Rocket League. The vehicle-based soccer game will go free-to-play starting tomorrow, so new players have plenty of time to download the game before in-game rewards for the Llama-Rama event become available....

Fortnite has become a global phenomenon since it launched a little over three years ago. Pretty much everyone knows what Fortnite is at this point, or at least recognizes its name. Pop star Dua Lipa had an emote featuring her music added just this week, in fact. Fortnite is even popular in China, which is a notoriously tough market to crack for any franchise outside of the country looking in. That even includes things like movies and social media platforms....

While NPCs may not be the main attraction in Fortnite Season 6, as they were in Season 5, there are still a number of reasons to visit them. For some players, the primary motivation for tracking down these NPCs will be to complete their Characters Collections, and indeed that can be quite a time-consuming endeavor. Fortnite fans can make this undertaking slightly easier by referencing a map of NPC locations, though, and one can be found in this guide....

There are many new things to discover in Fortnite Season 6. The map now includes wildlife to hunt or tame, and a huge cast of NPCs to find and interact with.

Microsoft has pulled the curtain back on the next major expansion for Forza Horizon 3, confirming that the additional content will be based on a crossover that features Mattel’s Hot Wheels line of toy cars.

For all you long-time Tomb Raider fans out there, there’s an Easter Egg in the 2013 series reboot which you will wholeheartedly appreciate. While this little surprise has no doubt been uncovered by many hardcore fans of the much-loved action-adventure series already (seven years is a long time), some of you may have missed it along the way.

Following yesterday’s news that Borderlands developer Gearbox Software had been purchased by THQ Nordic and Deep Silver holding company Embracer Group Studios, many wondered what would be next for the seminal developer. Gearbox had spent many years on The Borderlands series after all, with many questioning whether the team will move on to a fourth iteration of the IP or something wholly new. Although it seems the studio is focused on finishing up its work on Borderlands 3 first, Head of Gearbox Randy Pitchford did have some interesting words about what’s next for the developer, hinting that the team won’t be playing it safe going forward....

The mission unlocks for players upon reaching Act 4 of the event and completing the “Uninvited Guest” quest.

And there are steps players have to go through before they can actually deal any damage to the boss....
