Ghost of Tsushima: Legends is getting four new outfits inspired by some of PlayStation’s most iconic characters. Ghost of Tsushima has been one of the success stories of the year. It was a commercial success, becoming the fastest-selling new IP from a Sony first-party studio, and it is much loved by fans and critics alike, winning the Player’s Voice award at the Game Awards. Sucker Punch then capitalized on their popularity by providing a free multiplayer mode, Ghost of Tsushima: Legends, which only increased their standing in the gaming community....

Ghost of Tsushima has released to almost unanimous acclaim with reviews focusing on Tsushima’s gorgeous visuals, rich open world, and satisfying combat. As players are starting to dig into the game, knowing what items need to be found to craft becomes important. While the game has stumbled a bit with distribution, as customers are being refunded for Collector’s Editions they thought they were receiving, the game itself isn’t disappointing. Jin’s battle against the invading Mongol army is an action-packed affair, but crafting is an integral part of the experience, and any samurai worth their salt should know how to use materials to upgrade their gear....

Ghost of Tsushima earned its success among players mostly due to its enjoyable combat system, with all those smooth animation transitions and satisfying sword swings. According to Sucker Punch Productions, such an outcome was never easy to achieve as the game’s combat is a result of more than six years of hard work inside the team. Most of the time in Ghost of Tsushima players can decide for themselves to attack enemies in the face, or to sneak and take them down silently one by one....

A recent teaser in Ubisoft’s The Division 2 seemingly confirms that the next Assassin’s Creed, set to release in 2020 and codenamed Assassin’s Creed Kingdom, will feature Vikings. And because of this, it seems that God of War director Cory Barlog may want to get Kratos in on the action, due to the two games’ Norse connections. It’s worth highlighting the serious difference between the two titles before moving forward. God of War is set in a mythological background adhering to Norse belief, but the game itself does not feature Vikings, nor is it set in the era of the Viking....

Despite its approaching launch, feelings about the the PS5 vary. This stems from several factors, including the pre-order headaches fans went through, and the system’s pricing. Both the PS5 and its games are pricey, and players are wondering if games like Godfall will be worth it. Despite being one of the first games announced for the PS5, Godfall is still a bit of a mystery. It is billed as a “looter slasher” in a more melee-centric vein of Destiny 2....

Journey is a stunning indie hit from the PlayStation 3 era, and you can remind yourself of its emotional spotlight in gaming history with a beautiful figure by Good Smile Company. For around $33 USD, you can get this gorgeous recreation of the main character of the game, The Traveler, sometime in January 2021. It falls just below 7 inches in height. The figure looks as if it’s been ripped straight from the game with a bright and popping red fabric that flows in the wind....

Final Fantasy is one of the most popular and beloved franchises in gaming, and for good reason — its compelling gameplay and fully realized stories make for unforgettable gaming experiences. While the series has introduced plenty of amazing characters over its run to date, some of the most interesting entries have been in the game’s romantic pairings, many of which could go toe-to-toe with the best video game romances of all time....

The battle for Eorzea continues, and things aren’t looking too promising. The latest trailer for Final Fantasy 14: Stormblood takes players to the war-torn region of Ala Mhigo, where the Garlean Empire has a strong foothold. Here, the Warriors of Light encounter a new, powerful enemy that could make prying the area from the Empire’s clutches nigh impossible. The Final Fantasy 14: Stormblood launch trailer begins with shots of the Garlean Empire’s occupying forces, as well as the expansion’s main antagonist, Zenos Yae Galvus....

It’s April 1st, which means that consumers of Internet news should be wary of almost everything they read. Some news publications, developers, and online creators are out to trick the reader/viewer, but others use April Fool’s as a means to entertain. Take Square Enix, for example, who announced Final Fantasy 14 GO as part of its annual April Fool’s Day joke. While Square Enix could have easily made fun of Pokemon GO as part of this April Fool’s joke, the developer and publisher actually pokes fun at itself with Final Fantasy 14 GO....

Final Fantasy 14 has had a busy few days with the announcement of the Endwalker expansion. Square Enix will keep that momentum going, as the MMO continues its tradition of holiday festivities through its annual celebration of Little Ladies’ Day and Valentione celebrations.

If you want to claim your own rewards, just make sure you have any class to level 15, then go find Lisette de Valentione....

The Final Fantasy series is one of the most valued and beloved RPG franchises in the world. With breathtaking visuals, engaging storylines, and dynamic gameplay elements; Square Enix has delivered everything the players need from a Final Fantasy game, title after title. Final Fantasy 15, one of the more recent installments in the series, spent a decade in development and ended up mesmerizing players with its amazing gameplay experience. While the game provides players with a wide variety of items and accessories at their disposal, one of the most sought-after items is the Magitek Suit....

The official website for Final Fantasy 15 details upcoming DLC focused on main hero Noctis’ comrades, making them playable characters for the first time. Those itching to play Final Fantasy 15 as characters other than main protagonist Noctis will be pleased to know Square Enix is releasing DLC that will allow that very thing. Each of Noctis’ friends, which includes Prompto, Ignis, and Gladiolus, will all get their own DLC episodes where they are playable characters in Final Fantasy 15....

Many are diving into Final Fantasy 7 Remake with a general expectation for the game; after all, it is a remake of one of the most popular and classic Final Fantasy games to date. However, these expectations are being meant with more and more changes than one might expect, as this is potentially one of the most thorough remakes to date. Several things are changed, including the Shinra-Avalanche dynamic, and those are all directly tied to the Whispers....

The three main Final Fantasy titles that launched on the PlayStation 1 are generally considered to be the cream of the crop of the franchise. Though Final Fantasy 7 is usually praised as the top-dog, Final Fantasy 8 and Final Fantasy 9 often fight it out for second place and there never seems to be a clear winner as both are awesome. Final Fantasy 9 was a refreshing change for fans, both of its predecessors opted for a more modern/futuristic setting, but Final Fantasy 9 took things back to basics with a more classic fantasy setting....

If you began playing back in A Realm Reborn, you’ve had seven long years to plug away at Final Fantasy 14.

Michael Condrey, the cofounder of Sledgehammer, has spoken about the unfortunate direction that the Call of Duty series has been taking as of late. Condrey was in charge of EA’s Visceral Games studio before parting ways with partner Glen Schofield in order to found Sledgehammer Games in 2009. Over the next nine years, Sledgehammer would develop three games in the series, Modern Warfare 3, Advanced Warfare, and WWII. Venture Beat had the opportunity to chat with Condrey, who expressed the challenge that the studio was currently facing by being “pushed by publishing to be more controversial and ‘darker’ for the sake of headlines....
