Not even two full weeks have gone by since Capcom announced that Ghosts ‘N Goblins Resurrection would be hitting PC, PS4, and Xbox One this year that we now know exactly when. The surprisingly great retro revival title will be hitting the aforementioned platforms on June 1, 2021. That certainly is “soon,” just as the previous announcement said. Pre-orders should now be live on all respective digital storefronts and there are some bonuses in store for PC and PS4 players....

Sony recently confirmed that Santa Monica Studio’s action-adventure epic God of War managed to break a PS4 sales record by becoming the fastest selling exclusive on the current generation platform by moving an impressive 3.1 million units in just three days. Now, the American market research company known as The NPD Group has confirmed that not only did the title manage to become the best-selling game of April 2018, but also it broke another record by achieving the highest ever launch month dollar sales for a title released exclusively on any PlayStation platform....

Considering the amount of gamers who have spent the past few weeks neck-deep in some dragon-slaying with The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, confusion over the vast mythology of the series to date is likely at an all-time high. Four sizable chunks of mythology and lore precede the story and characters of Skyrim, but playing through the previous games to truly grasp the quest of the Dragonborn is out of the question....

FIFA 17 impresses with its commitment to making changes to a tried-and-tested formula, delivering both in terms of quality gameplay and depth of surface-level content. All too often, it’s easy to overlook annual video games sports releases. Sometimes - and perhaps rightly so - these series have been criticized for failing to develop much from year to year, feeling more like a simple roster change rather than a new game altogether....

In the Title Update 3.1 for FIFA 21, the option “Disable All Music For Streaming Purposes” has been added. While the update contains changes to Career Mode, Ultimate Team, and Volta Football, it is this particular addition that is the most notable even though it is not mentioned in the patch notes. FIFA 21 always proves to be a popular game among the content creator community, so this addition is welcome for those afraid of copyright strikes taking away their livelihood....

You can already play Final Fantasy 14 on Sony’s PS5, but Square Enix will begin offering official support for its hit MMO this year. The online Final Fantasy title will begin its open beta for the latest system on April 13, coinciding with the launch of the game’s next update. Just on the heels of the reveal for Final Fantasy 14’s Endwalker expansion, Square Enix shared its plans for PS5 support....

The PlayStation 5 Showcase event started off with a monumental announcement. Square Enix officially revealed Final Fantasy 16 is in development. Further, Final Fantasy 16 will be a console exclusive on PlayStation 5. It’s the biggest third-party exclusivity announcement of the next generation so far, though it’s difficult to imagine another game even coming close. Final Fantasy 16 will also be coming to PC, so it won’t be entirely PS5 exclusive, but for PlayStation fans the console exclusivity is what matters the most....

Cloud Strife is the main character in the Final Fantasy 7 Remake but has also made appearances in several other games as well. He is a fan favorite with his arrogant attitude and expert swordsman abilities. Cloud is privy to some pretty powerful weapons that make him unstoppable in battle. Fans love this character so much that they have created a variety of fan art in his honor. The styles vary as artists use several tools and techniques to bring their visions to life....

After kicking off their E3 2015 Press Conference with a Last Guardian sized bang, Sony could seemingly do no wrong in the eyes of fans. They had announced a project that many had thought would never see the light of day, and done so with more than just a simple mention. However, few could have predicted that The Last Guardian would be but a blip on the radar of the monumental announcements to come....

It’s about time! We’ve been waiting on details about the next incarnation of Treyarch’s popular Call of Duty Zombies mode since Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 was officially unveiled back in the spring. The mode was first introduced in Call of Duty: World at War as one of their four-player co-op features (something Infinity Ward has never been able to replicate in the Modern Warfare series) and it made a triumphant return in Black Ops two years ago with themed maps and wild characters....

The Five Nights at Freddy’s series has gone from an unknown indie title to becoming one of the most well-known jumpscare games out there. While fans love it for the frights it provides, others feel it’s just a rehashing of the same gimmick over and over. Following the release of the latest entry, Five Nights at Freddy’s 4, the distaste some hold for the series has spread to its creator. Creator Scott Cawthon has been aware of the negativity directed at him on forums and other public venues recently, and has taken the opportunity to respond to the criticism publicly on Steam....

With season 4 in full swing, it has already been a very busy few weeks for Fortnite. The insanely popular shooter brought Marvel’s Mad Titan, Thanos, into the game through a surprising limited time mode called Infinity Gauntlet, along with the chaotic 50v50 mode as well. A new week also typically means a new patch, but unfortunately, an unforeseen issue is going to cause Version 4.2 to miss its scheduled launch this week....

Last week, a datamining effort revealed that Fortnite was due to receive some rather creative skins, including the Tricera Ops, the Leviathan, and the Tomatohead. Now those skins are all available for purchase through the in-game store, as Epic added the Tomatohead outfit just a few hours ago. Out of all the new Fortnite skins, the Tomatohead outfit seems as though it’s gotten the most attention on social media. In response to Epic’s announcement, a number of Twitter users pointed out how creepy the skin looks - a trait that seems to have boosted its popularity with Fortnite fans....

Stranger Things’ third season premiered yesterday on Netflix, and as a result it’s on the mind of just about everyone. The show is also dominating the video game industry as well, with the simultaneous release of Stranger Things 3: The Game on consoles and PC. However, if retro beat ‘em ups aren’t your thing, then it looks like you’ll be able to get your Stranger Things fix through a little game called Fortnite....

Today, Epic Games released a new teaser for Fortnite Season 7, and it’s clear that something chilling is coming to the game soon. “Bitter ice spreads, 3 days to Season 7” is the full message from the developer, with the statement acting as a subtitle for an image featuring a giant icy, crowned, and hooded figure. As indicated in the picture above, under the figure’s hood are glowing eyes. What’s more is that along the hood’s edges are icy shapes, as well as a character seemingly skiing....

The 1990s have often been hailed as a “Golden Age” for Walt Disney Animated Pictures. The so-called “Disney Renaissance” of this period included movies like The Lion King, Aladdin, Pocahontas, and Mulan, amongst many others! These films’ enchanting songs, engaging plots and endearing characters have earned them a special place in the hearts of many Disney fans. Of course, part of the charm of any Disney movie—whether it’s from the 1990s or not—is the wide range of adorable non-human characters that are a staple part of the plot....

It looks like all future Star Wars games will now fall under the banner of newly established Lucasfilm Games. The main Star Wars website reveals that Lucasfilm Games, with the support of multiple studios from the industry, is the new identity for all future entries. Lucasfilms is no stranger to gaming, and its excursions into the medium have led to some of the most popular and memorable Star Wars experiences. Back in May 2013, Electronic Arts acquired the exclusive rights to make Star Wars games, unifying the brand....

It turns out that the Legendary Birds of Kanto have cousins in the Pokémon version of Great Britain, and one of them looks more like a mascot from another video game franchise, as Galarian Zapdos can barely fly and has to run on the ground like a Final Fantasy chocobo. Pokémon Sun & Moon introduced the concept of regional forms, which are Pokémon that have evolved differently due to living in a different climate....

With 2016 drawing to a close, it’s time to look ahead to what’s coming down the pipeline in 2017 for all platforms, including PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC and the Nintendo Switch. 2016 saw the release of some major games that had been in development for a very long time, such as Final Fantasy XV and The Last Guardian. While not every game lived up to the hype, there were plenty of games like Uncharted 4, Doom, and Overwatch that gave fans exactly what they were hoping for and more....

In an ongoing effort to “de-densify” the market, GameStop has stated in a post-earning call that the company plans in 2020 to meet or exceed the number of stores closed in 2019, meaning that at least 321 locations will be permanently shuttered. The news should not come as a surprise as the struggling game vendor continue to trim whatever fat is possible from its organization to restructure for a gaming industry that has changed considerably over the years....
