Genshin Impact is unlike any other game out there right now. It may share similarities in terms of style to games like Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and there are certainly other Gacha games on the market, but nothing matches its diverse cast of characters and huge open world that are all available for free. Despite this free to play tag, it seems that many players, particularly on mobile, are dumping a lot of money into Genshin Impact....

The latest Genshin Impact patch is almost ready to drop. However, you will have to wait through a lengthy maintenance period before you can experience the game’s 3.4 update. According to the official Genshin Impact Twitter account, before anyone can experience Genshin Impact Version 3.4, (aka. “The Exquisite Night Chimes”), HoYoverse has to take the game down for some maintenance. Genshin Impact‘s next update maintenance period will start on January 18th at 6:00 (UTC+8) and last 5 hours....

With all the content that this game has to deliver it will take some time to get through all the details. The hidden altars are one that will escape players’ minds unless they’re trying to complete the entirety of the game, offering almost no reward besides the Honor The Unseen trophy. This added to the fact that most of the altars aren’t even marked, leading to a horde of samurai bowing at every rock and statue they pass....

We first found out about Rockman X Dive last year when Capcom announced an Asian beta test for a free-to-play Mega Man game loaded with nostalgia. Made by Capcom Taiwan, the game basically stuffs every past Mega Man character you can think of in a mobile version of the classic action platformer. After a successful release in Asia, Capcom has now decided to bring Rockman X Dive to Japan later this year, with a North American release coming at some point....

Not too long ago, Microsoft announced its own game subscription service called Xbox Game Pass, which works somewhat similarly to Sony Interactive Entertainment’s equivalent dubbed PlayStation Now, with the recent reveal leading many to speculate that the future of gaming will focus primarily on digital distribution. Now, it looks as if the American technology firm Google could be looking to throw its hat into the ring when it comes to the practice, as the company is rumored to be working on its own game streaming service under the code name “Yeti”....

Back in 2015’s Batman: Arkham Knight, we witnessed the caped crusader being coerced into revealing his secret identity as Batman to the world. What proceeded was the initiation of the Knightfall Protocol; a contingency plan which would see Bruce blowing up Wayne Manor with Alfred, his Bat-toys, and himself in it. As far as the world knew, Bruce Wayne, a.k.a. Batman was dead. The extended ending features some thugs getting cornered by a freaky version of Batman, who was probably using Scarecrow’s Fear Toxin....

Casters are a class all their own in the turn-based game Fate/Grand Order. They’re primarily used to counter deadly Assassins and they gain a helpful double damage bonus against Beasts, a rarity in this game. The best Casters are unfortunately rather hard to obtain as they’re often locked behind limited-time events, special rewards or just an awful summoning rate commonly found in Gacha games like this. These are easily the hardest ones to summon and will take a considerable amount of grinding and luck before you acquire one to use in combat....

It’s been revealed that FIFA 22 will let players create their own clubs and rise up in the leagues in Career Mode. In a press release first shared by PushSquare, FIFA 22 will apparently include a brand new “Create a Club experience” that will seemingly allow players to design their own teams and work their way up through the leagues to take on the biggest teams in world football. There are no details as to how deep the customization will be, but it’s presumed that you’ll be able to design your own kit and badge....

The Final Fantasy franchise has spawned more than twenty games when counting its mainline entries and spinoff games. One thing that’s noticeably absent from most of those games, particularly the story-driven mainline games, are female characters that can truly be considered the main protagonists. Aside from a few notable exceptions, the characters that truly drive the stories of the Final Fantasy games are overwhelmingly male. As a whole, the industry has started to move away from this trend, but Final Fantasy 16 is looking like it will be continuing that trend with its focus on main protagonist Clive....

While the recent Final Fantasy 7 anniversary showcase was filled with incredible announcements, none was more exciting or welcome than the reveal of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth: the next chapter in the Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy. While there are so many things we want to know about that game, few mysteries are more pressing or fascinating than the meaning of the Rebirth name. After all, creative director Tetsuya Nomura has already stated that there is some kind of significance to the game’s name that he can’t wait to share....

Square Enix has released a new collection of screenshots for Final Fantasy 7 Remake, one of which introduces a new mini-game for players to tackle. Its called Corneo Colosseum, and as the name implies, it’ll allow players to battle enemies in an arena-like setting. The Corneo Colosseum belongs to Don Corneo, a man that rules over the Sector 6 section of the Midgar slums called “Wall Market.” He hosts auditions for a new “wife” every night in a place called the Honey Bee inn....

It would seem that a mistake on the Final Fantasy 9 Steam version caused a fairly massive problem for players looking to log in and play the game this morning. An update, initiated early today through the Steam version of Final Fantasy 9 removed a number of files from the game, making the title unplayable to anyone who downloaded the update after it launched. Final Fantasy 9 launched on Steam in 2016, bringing the original PlayStation’s final installment of the Final Fantasy series to PC for the first time....

In an interview with Nintendo Everything, Game Director Genki Yokota has revealed that Fire Emblem: Three Houses’ DLC might include new characters, but will not impact the main story. Fire Emblem: Three Houses is the latest installment in the Fire Emblem series, an RPG strategy series that has been around for decades. This latest title, however, has made some significant changes to the formula. Players take on the role of a mentor at one of three houses of their choosing, teaching students who will eventually become their soldiers....

We’re a month away from getting Animaniacs back and it’s not a moment too soon. Yakko, Wacko, and Dot have been missing since the late-90s and, honestly, it was probably more due to fatigue than anything else. Sometimes you need to rest a property, then bring it back down the line. Animaniacs is a very welcome return, but at the same time, we don’t want it to be too different. More specifically, it doesn’t need to be too different....

It’s been five years since The Witcher 3 launched, and to this day I still firmly believe that No Place Like Home is its most memorable and affecting quest. For all of its furious fiends, leviathan leshens, and wicked wyverns, The Witcher 3, for me, was always at its best during its quieter moments: Geralt and Yen sitting on an airborne shipwreck after defeating the djinn; Geralt and Ciri having a playful snowball fight to distract themselves from the encroaching Wild Hunt; and, best of all, Geralt, Lambert, and Eskel getting absolutely smashed on cheap booze while Vesemir is out on serious business....

Throughout the Season 4 Marvel crossover, Fortnite has treated fans to a variety of superhero-themed items and events. The inclusion of Marvel hero superpowers, like Storm’s Whirlwind Blast, has been one of many highlights. Storm’s Whirlwind Blast has been around Fortnite for more than a few weeks now, but it seems that players shouldn’t forget the superpower just yet. One of this week’s challenges requires players to use the ability before ultimately damaging a player, so XP-hunters and completionists will need to keep an eye out for the rare power-up....

Fortnite is adding the Storm Flip and Quick Heal in Patch 9.20, while also vaulting the hunting rifle. While E3 is right around the corner, Epic Games continues to provide constant change to its Battle Royal. As always, the patch notes can be read over at Epic Games. An exciting addition to the game has been added in the form of the Storm Flip, which is thrown like an explosive and on impact creates a spherical zone that inverts the space it occupies: In a storm, it creates a safe space to occupy for a short while....

Fortnite might be a free-to-play battle royale experience, but like many similar titles, an investment is required to really make the most of things. You can become the best player in the world without spending a penny, but you won’t look very good doing it. Putting pennies down is required to earn all of the finest cosmetic skins, voice lines, and weapon aesthetics that make you look like a badass. Without them, it can feel a little hollow....

Epic Games’ Fortnite has achieved a popularity that few games can rival. It’s absolutely everywhere, played and streamed by millions of players of all ages, and it’s so enmeshed in its own corner of gaming culture at this point that Epic Games had to explain why Fortnite wasn’t available on Stadia. The developers of Fortnite have kept up with this popularity by keeping the game fresh however they can. The map has undergone a complete overhaul and continues to change....

When the latest SMG was introduced into Fortnite and dubbed the Compact SMG P90, many players were understandably excited to see the new gun perform in the battle royale game. However, players quickly came to the consensus that the new SMG was OP and began to ask Epic Games for a nerf, with even popular Fortnite streamer Ninja getting on this bandwagon. Of course, with the popularity of the game at a high and the number of people asking for it, Epic issued a nerf for SMGs, including the Compact SMG, with its latest hotfix....
