To most gamers, Fortnite may seem ubiquitous. It’s one of the most-played video games in the world, it’s bringing in digital cash hand over fist, and even when Fortnite fans aren’t playing it, they’re watching it on streaming platforms. There’s only one major gap in Fortnite’s coverage, which has long been the Google Play Store. Android users could still download the game through Fortnite’s official website, but it wasn’t available to search for or download through Android’s biggest storefront – until now....

Fortnite Season 8 just launched, but the leaks have already begun, with new skins, pickaxes, back bling, gliders, and emotes found in the game files. What’s more is that the Season 8 Week 2 challenges have also leaked, giving players their first glimpse at the free and Battle Pass challenges that could go live on March 8, 2019. It’s worth mentioning that with nearly a week to go before launch, these weekly challenges could easily be changed by Epic Games....

Genshin Impact’s Dragonspine region is finally live as of the latest update to the world of Teyvat, and yes, there’s a lot to discover here. But we don’t care about a big cold mountain, nor the quests that surround it, no. We care about new characters, new challenges, and the best way to upgrade the latest banner star in Genshin Impact, Albedo. Albedo is a sword-wielding Geo user, and I also keep singing his name to the tune of The Beetles’ Love Me Do, which is unrelated, but there you go....

Playing Genshin Impact successfully is all about making a balanced team. Your main DPS may be powerful on their own, but by utilizing the game’s elemental reaction system, taking down enemies becomes even quicker. This is especially useful at higher world levels when taking on bosses such as Childe. Luckily, Mihoyo has provided a long list of support characters that can be used to enhance the power of hard hitters like Eula, Diluc, and Tartaglia....

It’s hard not to hear about Fischl for players of Genshin Impact. She was a prominent part of the last event and has been given away for free by Mihoyo. Many players have learned that trying to figure out what the young girl is saying, though, can be almost impossible. Speaking to Fischl is confusing at the best of times as she prefers to speak using both outdated languages and saying things that seem like they jump right out of a fantasy novel....

It’s often said that with each character creation, a personality is born and carefully dreamt up to fit that character’s persona. In Genshin Impact, these characters are responsible for bringing each plot to life and it’s through their existence that an online RPG has become much more than just a new game to play; Genshin Impact players are finding that they resonate with the characters in a personal way - something that’s not easily done....

Genshin Impact has drawn attention for its overall boldness as an entity. This has ranged from its overall design to mostly well-intentioned microtransactions. Indeed, fans have praised the game for being a rather forgiving “gacha,” or loot-box-funded, game, despite its inclusion of various pay-to-play aspects. But that said, as Genshin Impact continues to introduce new characters and features, its players are beginning to worry it may be leaning too far back into its gacha roots....

Cryptocurrency Litecoin, often called the silver to Bitcoin’s gold, has been added as a payment option for the upcoming Atari VCS home video game console. Atari’s partnership with the Litecoin Foundation, which serves to promote the eponymous cryptocurrency, will allow players to use Litecoin in various ways throughout the Atari ecosystem. Litecoin (LTC) - like Bitcoin, Ethereum, or Monero - is a decentralized, secure, peer-to-peer cryptocurrency that enables quick transactions to anywhere in the world without the need for third parties....

Ever since the gameplay trailer dropped in 2016, fans of the God of War series have been aching to get their hands on the newest installment. Well, Sony was not one to beat around the bush with their press conference this year - after leaving gamers waiting for a new GoW game for four years, Sony finally delivered, and today we’ve got all the little details for the newest and simultaneously most beautiful and most brutal adventure of Kratos thus far....

This article contains spoilers for God of War: Ragnarok. God of War games liberally borrow from different mythologies. Back in the PlayStation 2 and 3 days, God of War wove together a world crafted from various Greek myths and legends, while the God of War soft reboot from 2018 and Ragnarok take stories and characters from Norse mythology. However, one mythology reference in the most recent entry has even Norse legend buffs confused....

Mortal Kombat 11 is the hottest fighting game around. It’s part of a series recognized for over the top violence. Mortal Kombat’s most famous phrase, Finish Him!" has paved the way for new ways to defeat an opponent. Since the series launch date in 1992, the games have become more realistic. The game series even inspired movies, including one slated to release in 2021. Fighting games are abundant; whether they are 2D, 3D, or 2....

Final Fantasy 14 Patch 5.4, Futures Rewritten, continues to pit us against creatures of darkness spawned inside of Eden with the Litany fight. Like a lot of the new gear in this update, the Litany raid boss looks like something that crawled out of Bloodborne (or perhaps some sort of tortured version of Cerberus from the Crystal Tower). Litany is the second fight of the last tier in the Shadowbringers raid series where you’ll fight the Ravening Antihero, The Shadowkeeper....

Players will face several choices during their time with Final Fantasy 7 Remake, the first of which comes during the game’s opening chapter. Specifically, as fans plant the bomb in Mako Reactor 1 they must decide if they want to set the explosive’s timer to 20 minutes or 30 minutes, and some players may be curious about which one they should choose. Shining some light on this matter is exactly the purpose of this Final Fantasy 7 Remake guide....

The third episode of the behind-the-scenes YouTube documentary for Final Fantasy 7 Remake has released, and it discusses the game’s combat. Specifically, the dev team talks about the decisions it made that led to the creation of Final Fantasy 7 Remake’s overall battle system. “Tactical Mode” is the name for Remake’s new combat system. When creating it, the devs didn’t necessarily do so with the intent of making it as action-heavy as players’ experience in the Remake demo....

Final Fantasy 7 Remake part 1 takes players through the Midgar section of the original game. Though this was initially only a five hour segment, the remake breathes new life into Midgar and stretches this out into a full length experience. This worked well enough for the first part, but there’s a lot of confusion about how the rest of the game will be handled. One major question fans have is how Square Enix plans to move forward in regards to new consoles....

Fire Emblem: Awakening brought an old addition from Genealogy of the Holy War and made it to one of the series’ most iconic gameplay mechanics. Child units are optional recruitments obtained when two characters obtain an S-rank support. The exception to this is Chrom, as he will have his daughter Lucina regardless if is married or not. They can inherit skills and growth rates and there are many combinations that make each child different....

Every single week, Fortnite has several new challenges for fans to complete in order to collect tons of experience points without putting in too much effort. Some of these will task players to locate certain items, find specific locations, or interact with Fortnite’s NPCs in some fashion. One of the Season 5, Week 15 challenges for the game requires players to duel characters. Considering that that doesn’t really explain much about how to actually complete the challenge, this guide should help players who are struggling to figure things out....

Epic Games released a new update to Fortnite recently that holds in it secrets for what the developer has planned for the future of the game. While some aspects of Chapter 2 have been criticized, the anticipation for what’s to come has led some dataminers to find evidence of a returning mechanic coming along with the end of Season 2. The evidence comes from Brite News, a Fortnite leaker on Twitter and Reddit who dove into the new patch and found files that imply that rift beacons have been added back into the game....

After its slow start earlier in the summer, Fortnite continues to be a major success story for Epic Games thanks in large part to Battle Royale. The free to play, PvP mode has managed to corner the market on consoles by offering an alternative to PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. With over 20 million players having logged in to play the mode, Epic has been able to entice even more to stick around thanks to its constant updates and themed events....

Now that the Fortnite World Cup is over, fans of the wildly popular battle royale game are likely excited to see what’s coming in season 10. The first official tease came during the Fortnite World Cup Solo Finals (and was later re-posted online) where players are encouraged to “think back” to the days of Dusty Depot. Whatever changes are coming, the launch of season 10 was also given a start date: August 1, 2019....
