Final Fantasy 7 Remake was met with seemingly unyielding praise for the way it took the classic story of the original and modernized it in grand fashion, but Square Enix could take things one step further to create the ultimate experience, raising the ante for Final Fantasy 16 even higher. Considering that the first part of the remake consisted of only the first five or so hours of the original game, it stands to reason that the game has a lot of room to grow in future installments, and one great way for it to do so would be to implement an online cooperative multiplayer mode....

Of the myriad of weapons in Final Fantasy VII Remake, perhaps the most missable is Aerith’s Bladed Staff, a weapon that trades raw magical power for a boosted critical rate. The main selling point of the Bladed Staff is its ability, Lustrous Shield, as it protects Aerith from long-range attacks— perfect for when you have her slinging spells from a distance. With Lustrous Shield and Arcane Ward active, she’s a near unstoppable font of magical damage....

In the world of massively multiplayer online games, there are two games that stand out among the rest: World Of Warcraft and Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. These are the titans of MMOs, so one might think there could be some bad blood between the teams behind them. However, the director of Final Fantasy XIV not only feels no ill will towards his biggest competitor, he’s actually a full-on Blizzard fan....

Hearing Flying Wild Hog describe their upcoming PC-exclusive game, Hard Reset, as an “old school shooter” sounds refreshing for us veteran FPS fans. But then, we recall the return of the King in Duke Nukem Forever and all of a sudden, “old school shooter” is a negative connotation. Luckily for us, Hard Reset doesn’t look to suffer from the plethora of problems Duke’s overly long return faced. Two weeks ago, Flying Wild Hog introduced Hard Reset to the world with a pretty CGI trailer and some screenshots but today is the first time we get to see this high-paced shooter in action....

Five Nights at Freddy’s new character designs have been leaked thanks to Funko posting images of the line of action figures online.

There’s no killing, no shooting, no building, and no winning to do in Fortnite’s Party Royale, so what is there to do? Well, actually, quite a lot. Party Royale is the latest and perhaps most significant way yet in which Epic has stated that it wants Fortnite to be about a lot more than 100-person battle royales. The game might have just passed 350 million registered players, but that’s still not enough....

For the Season 7 Week 4 challenges in Fortnite, there is a challenge to destroy specific items on the battle royale map.

A while back, the video game developer Epic Games brought about some pretty significant changes to its free-to-play online multiplayer shooter, Fortnite Battle Royale, by way of the game’s Season 8 update. Now, players are a little more than mid-way through Fortnite Season 8, and Epic has released the rather small Update v8.20 that introduces a brand new archery-themed weapon called the Boom Bow. Instead of using arrows, Fortnite Battle Royale’s Boom Bow relies on the use of shotgun ammunition that explodes upon impact whenever fired, dealing out 15 base damage when directly hitting an enemy, and 100 explosion damage....

Fortnite update 4.5 is now live for both its Save the World and Battle Royale modes, bringing with it a multitude of new features and additions.

With a large following comes a large responsibility to role model for other aspiring gamers and fans....

The last few seasons of Fortnite have integrated some of the most popular video game and movie icons ever. Last season, the theme revolved around Marvel, adding superhero skins like Iron Man, Thor, She-Hulk, and more. On top of allowing players to run around the map as some of their favorite superheroes, Fortnite also featured a limited-time mode that allowed players to wield superpowers, and the season ended with an epic showdown with Galactus....

While battle royale tends to get more love than Save the World, Fortnite is making it clear that it’s not ignoring the PvE component altogether. Now, purchasable V-Buck Llamas are receiving a major change and being turned into X-Ray Llamas.

Coming in update v7.30, this major shake-up follows various updates to collect items such as loot drops, Llama dupe prevention, and gameplay-based event rewards....

The battle royale title has etched itself into gaming history by involving the likes of Drake, Major League Baseball, and even recently controversial figure (and unassuming player) Roseanne Barr.
