Fortnite Battle Royale’s Season 6 Week 4 Battle Pass challenges are officially live, and this week has players taking on several interesting tasks, with one of the more fun activities being the dancing challenge that requires fans to dance on various objects. Of course, there’s also the challenge of finding and shooting 3 targets at different shooting galleries across the map, so without further ado, follow along to find out where to cross this off the list....

Fortnite’s most contentious new addition has been removed from solo, duo, and squad play in the Battle Royale mode. Glider re-deploy will still be available in the Playground mode and some limited time modes, but it will no longer be a core piece of the battle royale experience. Since its introduction, glider re-deploy has had its fair share of fans and detractors. The debates raged on social media, forums, and subreddits, with plenty of compelling arguments made both for and against the Fortnite feature’s inclusion....

Back in 2003, IO Interactive and Electronic Arts released Freedom Fighters, a tactical third-person shooter that earned strong reviews at the time of its release, with particular praise given to its multiplayer mode and impressive squad AI. The game became a cult classic, with many fans calling for a Freedom Fighters 2 in the years since. While a Freedom Fighters sequel hasn’t been announced, the original game is making a comeback of sorts....

A common trend for Kickstarter games is DLC that is exclusive to those that have backed the game, and Friday the 13th: The Game is no different. In that game, only the earliest Kickstarter backers and those that opted to purchase it directly through Backerkit have access to the Tom Savini-created flaming Jason skin, which has caused some controversy among fans of the game. Unfortunately, anyone hoping that the flaming Jason skin will eventually be sold separately may want to get their expectations in check, as Gun Media claims it will never be outright sold as DLC....

Smosh Games is back with another instalment of its Honest Game Trailers series, and this time it’s taking a stab at one of the biggest multiplayer releases of the year.

As with previous Honest Game Trailers videos, the Friday the 13th: The Game edition hones in on some of the less marketable aspects of the game....

On 2nd October 2014, a new TV show premiered on the UK network Channel 4. Critics and pundits across the board praised the show’s wit, warmth, and innovation, with one going as far as to say it was “possibly the best television rom-com ever to be released”. Buoyed by this initial response, the network promoted the show whenever it could, spreading advertisements everywhere, and telling the world that they needed to watch this series… and the world promptly ignored it....

After nearly three years of development and multiple delays thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, Frontier Developments finally released Elite Dangerous Odyssey on May 19. Aiming to expand Elite Dangerous with new weapons, settlements, and certain No Man’s Sky-like elements like discovering new planets and the ability to travel those planets on foot, Odyssey was a major milestone and hotly anticipated by Elite Dangerous fans. Unfortunately, Odyssey launched with bug, stability, and performance issues so horrendous that the expansion currently has a 31% “Mostly Negative” rating on Steam as of the time of this writing....

Specifically, whether Master Chief will - or should - be the star of the game, with recent reports claiming that a brand new character, Agent Jameson Locke will actually be the ‘primary character’ of the series’ foray onto the Xbox One. Microsoft isn’t ready to provide answers to those questions, but the head of 343 Industries spoke openly about the company’s desire in broadening the franchise; including the removal of numbered and non-numbered entries....

This Game of Thrones article contains spoilers for the TV series and books. New Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon’s official trailer opens with a description of a dream “clearer than a memory” that the dreamer clearly thinks is prophetic.

A few days ago, a rumor began circulating that The Order 1886’s campaign was only five hours long. This rumor sparked discussion among gamers about the ideal length of a video game, and whether or not the length really matters in the end. After seeing gamers’ opinions online, we decided to pose this question to our writers for a Game Rant Asks post. We wanted to find out what some thought of when posed questions like what is the ideal length of a video game, or what part does game length play when determining a game’s overall quality and worth?...

The Hitman franchise’s bald-and-barcoded protagonist is getting too smart for his own good. Now he’s using the steamy mirrors from his targets’ showers against them. Sometimes, it’s a little frightening to think just how far this industry has come. In 2018, a lot of iconic titles (Pokémon Red and Blue, Metal Gear Solid, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time…) hit their twentieth anniversaries. When you look at the strides those franchises have taken since, visually, mechanically and otherwise, it’s quite humbling....

Now a new console Gauntlet game is available on the PS4, in the form of Gauntlet: Slayer Edition....

Rebirth Island is surrounded by water, which means that Call of Duty: Warzone operators cannot leave the island....

In order to start participating in this event, players don’t actually need to open up Genshin Impact. Instead, the event mainly takes place in a browser-based game connected to the player’s logged in account. The goal of the Slime Paradise event is to create a fun park for slimes and others wandering monsters....

Artificial Intelligent in video games is a concept that has enticed many. Developers often strive to have in-game characters that react in an organic and real way, from challenging enemies to realistic non-player allies. Creative Assembly, the developer of Alien: Isolation claimed that the xenomorph enemies of the survival horror title were “almost sentient,” whilst developers of sports games like FIFA 15 strive for as realistic a sports experience as they can offer....

As more remakes are continuously announced and released like the PlayStation 5’s recent Demon’s Souls, there is a growing desire from numerous fanbases to have their favorite title get a full rework.
