The final week of Season 6 challenges are now live in Fortnite’s battle royale mode, and after completing them - and the previous nine weeks of challenges - players will have a hidden banner to add to their collection. Of course, it will likely take awhile before players have completed all 10 weeks of challenges, but after doing so, this is where they need to go to get their final reward....
With Epic Games and People Can Fly having recently released a John Wick-styled skin for the popular multiplayer sandbox survival title Fortnite Battle Royale and simply dubbing the cosmetic as “The Reaper,” the door is now wide open for the publisher and developer to put even more crossover-inspired content into the game. Now, some talented fans have taken point to potentially inspire the companies to make even more pop culture-focused outfits by creating concept art for their ideas....
As of late, Fortnite’s Battle Royale mode has been on a roll with updates, with the latest patch adding a new Campfire item that heals, a change to the Boogie Bomb, and a much-needed fix to a major bug in the game. Now, Epic Games and People Can Fly are bringing even more refinements to the sandbox survival title, with the development team set to revamp the Battle Royale mode’s map in a new update scheduled for unspecified date sometime next week....
Fortnite has already received on big update to get players in the festive mood. The Valentine’s Day update went live earlier this month and introduced several romance-themed heroes and the new crossbow weapon. But that’s not all that developers Epic Games and People Can Fly have in store for fans. A major new Fortnite update has just gone live, adding even more festive themed items, characters and quests to both Fortnite Battle Royale and Fortnite Save The World (Fortnite’s narrative, co-operative multiplayer mode)....
Loot boxes have been a hot subject for more than a year now, with the issue gaining more and more attention ever since EA’s fiasco with Battlefront 2. Now, the FTC is planning a public workshop for loot boxes in the hopes of bringing industry members and consumer advocates together to analyze the practice. In a letter to Senator Maggie Hassan, FTC Chairman Joseph Simmons confirmed the Commission’s intent to host a public workshop about the sale of loot boxes in games, though he did decline to comment on any potential legal investigations surrounding the issue, as those investigations and the identities of the people involved are not considered to be public information....
Best mirrorless cameras 2018: The top interchangeable lens cameras Our quick take Fujifilm X-T100 - 3.5 / 5 Design & Lens Mount Fujifilm X mount (for XF lenses) Built-in electronic viewfinder (0.39in, 2,360k-dot OLED) Tri-adjustable screen, with touch controls (3.0in, 1,040k-dot LCD) Performance Autofocus with 91 selectable areas Adjustable AF point size Up to 6fps burst shooting Image Quality 24.2 million pixel sensor, APS-C size Standard primary colour filter (not X-Trans CMOS, like other X series models) Video capture: Full HD (1080p) at 60/50/24fps; 4K (UHD) at 15fps To recap The Fujifilm X-T100 is a bit of an oddity in the Japanese company’s mirrorless line-up: with its power zoom lens attached it functions differently to its X-series family, but not in a way that’s particularly proficient for entry-level users, which sees it sit in a place that’s neither here nor there....
Anyone who wants a lesson in how to speak without really saying anything should listen to Gabe Newell, co-founder and managing director of Valve. That’s not said to denigrate Mr. Newell, of course. Valve is one of the most respected brands in gaming, with innovations like the digital distribution platform Steam, titles like Portal and Team Fortress 2, and the upcoming virtual reality system Vive to its credit. It’s incredibly likely that none of those would’ve happened without Newell’s leadership....
Barely two weeks after GameStop confirmed that the retail chain was closing 150 outlets around the globe, the company has now posted an official notice that a security breach may have led to customer data being stolen and resold to unknown parties. While this latest potential security breach strictly relates to the company’s online storefront rather than its brick-and-mortar outlets, it’s safe to say that customers are unlikely to enjoy hearing that their payment information - including credit card numbers, expiration dates, names, and addresses - may have been stolen and sold to unauthorized parties....
Genshin Impact’s Dragonspine region brought with it loads of new things to discover in Mihoyo’s premier gacha title, and the Ancient Stone Carvings are no different. There are eight of these littered around the Dragonspine region’s massive mountain, and if you want to discover each one of them then you might need some help, as they’re not too easy to find. The first of the stone carvings should be simple, you can find it just to the South of the Statue of the Seven in Dragonspine, which you can access using this guide here....
Genshin Impact is just days away from its next major update, Version 1.2. While this December 23 patch will introduce the Cryo-heavy Dragonspine region to the game, players also expect a subsequent update to add a region called Inazuma to the game. Inazuma may be known by Travelers as the birthplace of one of the newer Genshin Impact characters, Scaramouche. This region, clearly inspired by Japan, is rumored to be the centerpiece of Version 1....
Genshin Impact has been celebrating the arrival of new seasons in the Northern Hemisphere with its latest five-star character releases. The game’s recent Version 1.5 update brought forth a series of exciting new weapons for Travelers to collect as well, which, like five-star characters, usually require Primogems to obtain. Travelers can technically earn new characters and weapons in Genshin Impact without spending Primogems. However, players hoping to take advantage of the game’s newest characters and strongest weapons will often have to rely on them, since “Wishes” from the game’s Special Character Banner and Weapon Banner effectively require 160 Primogems each....
In Ghost of Tsushima, using the right combination of armor and charms for each situation can give players a massive advantage, so much so that many players find themselves switching out Jin’s armor loadouts frequently. While most of the armor in the game provides bonuses that support a specific playstyle, the Fundoshi is very limited in its effects. The Fundoshi is one of the last armor sets that players will be able to get, as it only becomes available during Act 3 of Ghost of Tsushima....
Several days ago, Sucker Punch Productions released Ghost of Tsushima: Legends, the co-op multiplayer mode of the critically acclaimed game Ghost of Tsushima. In this major expansion, Sucker Punch introduced an online multiplayer mode and several classes for players to choose from, such as Samurai, Hunter, Ronin, and Assassin. Of course, while every single class will have its own unique perks and abilities, the Samurai is definitely the perfect choice for players who like to play the tank’s role in Ghost of Tsushima....
Ghost of Tsushima game director Nate Fox and creative director Jason Connell have been named tourism ambassadors of the city of Tsushima in Nagasaki, island officials announced this week. The Sucker Punch Productions developers will be presented with the award and a letter of appreciation at a virtual ceremony. Fox and Connell have been invited to visit Tsushima once travel restrictions are lifted, which officials hope will “make them love Tsushima even more....
When you think about cartoons during the 2000s, the first one to come to your mind would likely be Danny Phantom. This cartoons series gained quite the cult following when it came out. And now, over a decade later, people still talk about this show. There are even rumors of a new series starting up that follows Danny’s adventures ten years later (we can only hope). I can see why this cartoon would be popular....
Google Cardboard promised a simple Virtual Reality solution that didn’t break the bank, costing just $20, presuming that the consumer already had a smartphone. The simple Google Cardboard setup allowed users interested in VR to use the cardboard to fashion a holder that turned a smartphone into the workhorse of the operation. It was an interesting play from Google to make VR immediately more accessible to a large population without bringing an exorbitant price tag along with it....

FIFA 21 is a simple game at heart. You score more goals than your opponent, you win the game. Sometimes though, it doesn’t feel so simple. You need to balance attack with defence, watch your stamina bars, make the most of your chances, and get your selections down to perfection. FIFA 21 is the ultimate bragging rights game, and that just dials the pressure up on all these little details even more....
Story modes in sports games are terrible. Madden’s feel like something off The CW network, FIFA’s are so dull I just had to look up Alex Hunter’s name, and NBA 2K’s… actually, they’re not bad. However, they are heavily overproduced, loaded with A-list names, and thanks to the game’s interconnected income system, they force you to choose between having a decent online MyTeam or improving your pro’s stats from their college days....
Final Fantasy 16 is introducing a brand new world to fans of the ever changing franchise, and with it comes a brand new cast of characters. At the center of everything is Clive, the newest Final Fantasy protagonist to join the long list of brooding boys. Not much is known about Clive just yet, but the trailer and what little information has been shared paints him to be an interesting character....
