Season Seven added changed up the Battle Pass significantly. Epic Games keeps modifying how Fortnite is and adding new mechanics and features so players will stay hooked with this new content. It’s certainly working. This season’s Battle Pass looks great. If you’re a Rick and Morty fan you’ll be delighted to see their familiar faces on the last page of the Battle Pass. If you purchase the Battle Pass, the Kymera skin will be automatically unlocked....

A brand new Wolverine challenge is now available in Fortnite, and it asks players to launch off all Sentinel Hands without touching the ground. For those fans that previously completed the Fortnite Season 4 Week 2 challenges, and are thus familiar with the location of the Sentinel Graveyard, this task will be quite straightforward, but players that did not tackle those challenges may need a bit of assistance. The first step to launching off the Sentinel Hands in Fortnite is to find the aforementioned Sentinel Graveyard, and it is positioned just to the south of the Authority....

A large part of Fortnite’s longevity is due to its weekly content updates, which drive fans of the series to complete a new set of challenges for experience, and, in some cases, new crossover skins, like the Predator. Season 5 has had more weekly challenges than normal, now moving into its 12th week of small events or side quests for players to complete. A lot of recent quests have revolved around fishing, a relatively new mechanic for Fortnite, and the ever-popular Fishstick skin, which has cropped up all over the place since its reveal in December 2018....

Another Thursday in Fortnite means another set of challenges for players to complete. This week includes everything from legendary weapon eliminations and ringing doorbells to landing in various named locations and searching between three ski lodges. Of course, the ski lodges can be found in the new winter biome area, but for those struggling to pinpoint it exactly, we’ve compiled this guide. The easiest, quickest way to complete this challenge is to drop from the Battle Bus and head straight for this location....

A brand new update to Fortnite has added a surprise skin in celebration of the Fourth of July. Players can use their precious V-bucks to grab a Captain America skin pack, as well as a unique emote. Epic Games announced the skin on Twitter with a cinematic trailer. In it, Steve Rogers arrives on the battlefield using the Bifrost. He triumphantly gazes over the island before placing his trusty shield onto his back before dropping into battle....

Just in time for the holidays, Fortnite developer Epic Games has teamed up with Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment to deliver a special bundle. Entitled Deep Freeze, this bundle settles well into the holiday theme and provides players with a number of unique, winter-related cosmetics. It will release on November 13 at the decent price of $29.99, and it comes with a physical retail version of Fortnite for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One....

Super Nintendo World has finally opened its gates, and a fan-shot video of its famed Mario Kart ride has made it online. Super Nintendo World is finally open, at least to a lucky few Nintendo fans, in Osaka, Japan. Its opening has been pushed back multiple times by a series of delays, most of which have been coronavirus-related. Videos taken by park-goers have started to surface online, giving those of us who won’t be able to make it there for the foreseeable future a first proper look at what it has to offer....

Comic-Con at Home, the replacement for San Diego Comic-Con’s physical event this year, has started today. Fans are able to watch virtual panels and buy exclusive merchandise from the comfort of their own home, but the first day of the big event has already had a few issues. The merchandise at Comic-Con has always been one of the most sought after aspects of the event. Companies such as Funko, Toddland and Marvel usually bring a line of exclusive products to the convention floor, causing chaos each day as fans queue early to try and score an exclusive....

Game Rant recently got together with the Game Grumps and Fantastic Passion, the joint makers of Soviet Jump Game. This new release fresh out of early access is a free to play retro-style 2D platformer battle royale, inspired by bootleg Russian game design of the early 90s. The premise alone is uniquely charming, but playing Soviet Jump Game and speaking with the developers revealed many more layers of interesting background and quirky-fun platforming action....

Claymore users are the hardest-hitting class in Genshin Impact, and almost every claymore wielder is used as the main DPS. With characters like Diluc, Razor, and Xinyan, the claymore class is known for its powerful attackers. Many players will set their teams up around these characters in order to deal massive elemental reaction damage to enemies. Without the proper artifacts and weapons, though, even Diluc shouldn’t be expected to plow his way through the game....

Gacha games are notorious for their gambling-style loot mechanics. Each roll in a gacha game is a wager on the chance of acquiring a character or weapon. Genshin Impact, while unique and special in its own right, bears no differences from this industry-standard chance-based loot system. The wish mechanic allows players to roll on banners for characters (or weapons) to build out their party for a handful of primogems, Genshin Impact’s premium currency....

The Royal Bow is part of the Royal weapon series, a set that is geared towards the Crit stat, which is sometimes considered underrated in the Genshin Impact community. While most weapons in Genshin Impact can be won from the gacha and others can be crafted at the Blacksmith’s, a viable way for F2P players to get their hands on formidable weapons, some can only be found in Paimon’s Bargains. Each month, Paimon’s Bargains puts up a number of rare items on rotation, such as four-star characters, as well as some resources that can be exchanged for Starglitter and Stardust....

It was recently revealed that Genshin Impact has raked in almost $400 million in revenue in its first two months on the market. That equates to a whopping $6 million per day, on average. The news comes from a recent report published by Sensor Tower. The report notes that Mihoyo has brought it approximately $393 million in Genshin Impact sales since launching the game back on September 28. This comes after the revelation that Genshin Impact earned a massive $250 million in its first month on mobile alone...

Only three short weeks remain until Ghost of Tsushima releases on PS4, and Sucker Punch Productions is doing what it can to keep fans satiated during the wait. In that vein, a recent Twitter post by the gaming studio’s official account has released a number of new pieces of concept art that show the stunning origins of some of the game’s locations, as well as an early view of Jin on his horse....

As one could argue, Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint’s announcement has been received favorably by many. Expanding on on Ghost Recon Wildland’s open-world action by adding new stealth and survival mechanics is bound to be seen as a positive among the franchise’s tactics-focused fans. However, there’s one new detail about Ghost Recon Breakpoint that’s been changed since Wildlands that could disappoint some. According to Ubisoft, Ghost Recon Breakpoint will require a persistent Internet connection even while playing single-player....

The Last of Us 2 is as intense as a game can get, with brutal human enemies and terrifying infected foes littered throughout the entirety of the story. Turning on Grounded and Permadeath only makes things more difficult and nerve-wrecking, and while one streamer was succeeding, an untimely glitch ended their no death playthrough of The Last of Us 2. In The Last of Us 2’s Grounded mode, permadeath is optional, as Grounded is hard enough as is....

Goblin Stone won’t arrive on Steam until December, but you can download the game’s demo to get a feel for this adorable little turn-based RPG. A mashup of genres, Goblin Stone has you take control of one of the few surviving Goblin warrens trying to eke out an existence in an extremely hostile world. To survive, you’ll have to send goblins out to raid human settlements for food and supplies. Goblins are fragile creatures, and it’s just a fact of life that some goblins won’t make it....

In 2018, the God of War franchise received a bit of a makeover. Instead of putting the spotlight on ancient Greek mythology, the pendulum shifted to Norse legends. Kratos and Atreus (aptly known as “boy” by his father), make their journey across Midgard and various other famous places in Norse mythology. It is no secret that this version of God of War was impressive and that the settings were larger than life....
