In recent years, Square Enix has taken to giving passionate Final Fantasy fans exactly what they have been clamoring for on message boards for the better part of a decade. The long string of Final Fantasy remasters has been well-received, with grizzled veterans of the series appreciating the better graphics and easier accessibility while new fans have been made thanks to fresh reviews bringing the series back to the fore. The latest remaster in the series, Final Fantasy 12: The Zodiac Age, has actually left Square Enix in a bit of a quandary, however, says game director Takashi Katano - making the possibility of a Final Fantasy 8 remake much higher....

Pretty quickly into Fire Emblem: Three Houses (too quickly for this writer), you become a teacher. Your progress in this role is reflected in many things, but the most direct indicator is your professor level. This meter and corresponding grade often hang out onscreen during your free-roam sessions in the monastery. Also of note is a bar on top that tracks your activity points. These two things are connected, and determine how much you get to do on your day off and how much money you’re given each month....

Campo Santo’s Firewatch passes the one million units sold mark thanks to a delayed Xbox One release and the game may now have a film adaptation on the way. Although 2016 is full of amazing AAA games like Uncharted 4 and The Division, don’t be surprised to find Campo Santo’s little walking simulator Firewatch near the top of many game of the year lists in December. The short, first-person game is full of beautiful landscapes and a compelling, mysterious narrative and gamers have really connected with the indie title....

Fortnite is one of the biggest games ever created. What started out as a hybrid between a tower defense game, Minecraft, and a first-person shooter quickly became a massive craze that has taken the world by storm. The moment Epic Games decided to use their assets to create Fortnite Battle Royale, the genre changed from there and PUBG was no longer on top. One of the reasons Fortnite became insanely popular is that it’s free....

Fortnite Season 6 is here, and players can look forward to all the usual new releases like skins. But the main theme of Season 6 is survival, and nothing says “survival” more than crafting items and weapons from whatever can be scavenged off the land. The new map added as part of the season is filled with opportunities to hunt wildlife and gather from the ruins left behind by the pulse....

The latest iOS update could delete Fortnite from your iPhone. Here’s a way to make sure that doesn’t happen. One of the biggest stories of the summer has revolved around the ongoing battle between Apple and Epic. When Epic attempted to bypass some of Apple’s fees, the latter removed Fortnite from its app store. The resulting back and forth has led to Fortnite becoming unavailable on Apple devices for good, and those who already have the app on an iPhone have been left in season three without any support from Epic should they need it....

Fortnite update v7.20 is right around the corner, with developer Epic Games slowly revealing some of the content set to release alongside it. Potentially chief among the new changes coming is the legendary scoped revolver that promises players perfect accuracy. However, it appears the developer is also shaking up the meta with a key change to the glider redeploy feature. For those unaware, Fortnite previously tested glider redeploy in all game modes and it was pretty divisive....

Dataminers have revealed brand new images of character skins and cosmetics coming to the famous Battle Royale, Fortnite. With the end of Season 4, Epic Games released Season 5 teasers alluding to the rewards, but these leaks give players a first look at what will soon be available. The Fortnite cosmetics were unveiled by two prominent leakers, VastBlast and HypeX. The first posted various skins for Season 5, including the legendary Mandalorian, Din Djarin, and the gladiatorial inspired Menace....

Although Epic Games’ massive battle royale Fortnite remains free-to-play, it recently debuted a paid subscription service referred to as “Fortnite Crew.” Costing $12 USD per month, Fortnite Crew is an expanded version of the game’s previous Battle Pass system which features all-new goodies for Fortnite players. The Battle Pass, which allows players to level up and earn rewards by winning battles and completing in-game objectives, remains present, but can now be purchased alongside a Crew subscription....

There’s no doubt that Fortnite is the most popular and highly recognizable video game on the planet at this point in time, as the multiplayer sandbox survival shooter was at the top of the list for Twitter’s most talked-about games in 2018. With this being the case, the popular player and streamer DrLupo decided to use the wide renown of the Epic Games title by playing it in a 24-hour live stream to raise money for St....

Season 4 of Fortnite is expected to conclude with a seismic event, similar to Season 3’s demolition of Dusty Depot by an asteroid. Today, Fortnite players are hearing the sound of a warning siren coming from the Evil Lair near Snobby Shores, and it’s sending the community into a frenzy. Initial reports of the sound drew skepticism regarding their authenticity, until prominent players, like OpTic Gaming’s Jack “CouRage” Dunlop, posted their own experiences with the siren to social media....

Forza Horizon 4 has continued to be a leader in the racing genre, straddling a nice line between arcade and simulation. With more than 500 different cars and the lush, sheep-filled hills of the rainy UK to use them in, it is a car lover’s dream. Zipping around in the game’s vast array of sleek, fun vehicles is one of the most appealing aspects of this open-world driving epic. But cars are changing — many are going electric to help combat pollution....

Gamescom 2011 is just getting started and we’re already neck-deep in high-profile announcements. Following a set of intriguing new video announcements, a Borderlands 2 teaser and a new Prototype 2 trailer, BioWare officially unveiled an exciting new look at in-game Mass Effect 3 combat footage. The new trailer, which is only the first installment in a series of gameplay-specific first-looks, presents the Squad Leader role in a battle scenario - leading us to wonder if the video series is building-up to a, recently rumored, Mass Effect 3 multiplayer announcement....

Romance has always been a hot topic in gaming, and it’s fun to speculate which characters in our favourite titles would make a great couple. As with many RPGs, there are a ton of Genshin Impact ships and speculation about potential couples going around the internet, with many people loving the discourse. While there isn’t a lot of evidence to support the theory that anyone in the game is actually dating quite yet, likely because many of them are still teenagers, some of the character’s dialogue does point us towards potential couplings....

Early in the prologue of Genshin Impact, when players first start digging into Stormterror’s history, they will hear various members of the Knights of Favonius make reference to the Four Winds of Mondstadt. The quest neatly summarizes these entities as Mondstadt’s sacred protectors, endorsed by the current Anemo Archon, Barbatos, who players later discover to be Venti. For the purposes of general narrative progression, that explanation works just fine. But there is a much richer tale to be had, about the nature of the Winds, the founding of modern Mondstadt, and the role of certain characters in the present....

Despite Cyberpunk 2077 being hit with another delay, that hasn’t stopped small bits and pieces of information from appearing all across the internet. Whether the information is from the game itself or any media outlet, fans are learning something new and keeping in touch with the game before it launches. The most recent form of news comes in the form of the game’s perk and cyberware systems. German website Night City Life posted a preview of the game’s two new systems....

It may sound crazy, but the PlayStation 1 is a retro console. The original PlayStation released in December 1994 and for many of us in the 30-something crowd represents the golden age of gaming. Our first adventures into 3d with games like Spyro the Dragon, Crash Bandicoot, and Metal Gear Solid were transformative. For many, The PSOne will forever be the console that started a lifetime of love for games....

Namco Museum and Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 Plus have been hit with big discounts on the Nintendo Switch eShop. Despite being the most recognizable video game character in the world alongside Mario, Pac-Man has been rather quiet lately. Bandai Namco hasn’t done much with the character since the release of Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 in 2016. Pac-Man has been the recipient of numerous games in the past. There was the classic arcade title, and sequels/new takes on the formula like Pac-Man 256....

The Japanese translation of the much-anticipated Ghost of Tsushima looks like it’s leaving a little to be desired, unfortunately. The game will be releasing on July 17th 2020, and as we get closer to the moment of truth we’re getting treated to snippets of what is to come, like a first look at the game’s main menu. That happened yesterday, and all went well until Japanese speakers were suddenly all like, “wait a sec....
