For day-one players, the early days of Genshin Impact often felt like an extended beta test. Loading screens were long and ugly (that second part hasn’t changed), menu options that should have read “on” and “off” said “open” and “close,” and falling through the map was common. As severe as some of these issues were, miHoYo responded admirably with prompt hotfixes and patches. Other missing essentials were outside of the “game-breaking bug” category, and more like overlooked quality-of-life features that didn’t quite ship out the door on time, but even these were quickly added to the game....

Travelers have barely wrapped their hands around the latest Genshin Impact content, but it seems that miHoYo still has plenty of new material ready to go. With Version 1.3 of the game on the horizon, players now have several events to look forward to, the first of which kicks off today, January 8. Genshin Impact promised players a trio of events in Version 1.2, but the other two still don’t have confirmed start dates....

Just when you thought the classic manga Ghost in the Shell couldn’t get any cooler, along comes this idea to bring it to both the traditional Japanese theater and the cutting-edge technology of virtual reality. Simultaneously, of course. Masamune Shirow’s hugely popular manga series first emerged way back in 1989. Since then, it has received a steady stream of adaptations, remakes, and re-imaginings including an anime series, video games, and the awesome 1995 animated film by Mamoru Oshii that everyone should watch at least once in their life....

In October of last year, Saber Interactive released Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered to the PC and consoles. However, the PC version of the game was only made available to the Epic Games Store due to an exclusivity agreement that is set to expire soon. Now, players on the platform will finally be able to purchase Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered on Steam. Starting November 17, Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered will be heading to Steam after a year-long exclusivity deal with the Epic Games Store....

God of War: Ragnarok isn’t quite the pure action title that the original God of War games were, but you’ll still spend much of the game in combat. That’s why it’s important to experiment with the game’s best weapons and skills. Generally speaking, Ragnarok encourages you to not only try different weapons and skills but to utilize multiple weapons during fights. Every weapon in the game has something unique to offer, so it’s often best to take advantage of all their abilities whenever possible....

While God of War fans patiently remain on standby until Sony and Santa Monica Studio confirm the release date for the forthcoming PlayStation 4 exclusive, the companies have now decided to at least give gamers some eye candy while they wait. Today, the publisher and developer have revealed a collector’s edition for the title dubbed the “Stone Mason Edition,” which comes packaged with a handful of goodies, including a marvelous-looking statue of Kratos and Atreus....

When FIFA 22 launches in October, it will be accused of being the same game as FIFA 21. And FIFA 20. And FIFA 19, and FIFA 18, and FIFA… you get the idea. Certainly, compared to open-world single-player RPGs, each incarnation of EA’s yearly sports sim is incredibly similar to the one that came before it - Madden, MLB: The Show, and NBA 2K all have the same reputation. FIFA is a football game, and each year, it lets you play football....

Long before I evangelized Final Fantasy 14 at every chance, it was Final Fantasy Tactics I was in love with. While not quite as enchanted with the Ivalice of FF12, I spent years playing Tactics over and over again. It was my first, and favorite, tactical RPG. Its political intrigue and complicated cast of heroes easily withstood the test of time, and even by modern standards, it’s a game I’m quick to recommend....

The Final Fantasy 7 Remake trailer at PSX 2015 has a lot of fans excited, but not everyone. Here’s why the combat system has one writer concerned about the game’s development. There’s no question that the Final Fantasy 7 Remake stole the show at PSX 2015 this year, and it wasn’t even close. Fans have been clamoring for a fresh look at Midgar for over a decade at this point, and Square Enix realistically could’ve brought up a cardboard cut-out of what Cloud will look like in the remake and gotten a million YouTube hits just the same....

Originally teased back in December and officially confirmed earlier today, Mediatonic and Bethesda have teamed up to bring a host of Doom themed skins to Fall Guys. While the original tease appeared to reveal that the Doom Slayer’s iconic armor would indeed be popping up in the immensely popular indie battle royale game, this morning, Mediatonic confirmed that the title would be getting other Doom skins as well. While the original plan was to reveal the first skin in the collaboration between Fall Guys and Doom through a special stream, it seems the broadcast had to be rescheduled due to technical difficulties....

One of the biggest surprises to hit the gaming community this year came at Comic-Con when G4TV announced that the popular gaming and internet culture network would be returning in 2021. It still isn’t clear exactly what a revived G4TV will look like, but fans will be getting their first glimpse of what the network has planned with an upcoming Reunion Special just in time for Thanksgiving. In preparation for this new special event, Game Rant spoke with G4TV’s Adam Sessler and Kevin Pereira, two former hosts of the network’s most popular shows before going off the air....

As part of the new fifth season of Fortnite, Epic Games has implemented multiple side quests for players to complete. There are a variety of different options for side quests in Fortnite that require the player to perform any number of different tasks all across the map. One theme for a quest that Epic Games likes using is sending players to find multiple gnomes in Fortnite locations like Sweaty Sands. For example, Fortnite tasked the player to find spray-painted designs of robot gnomes in its Season 4, Week 8 challenges....

For the first seven weeks of Fortnite’s Season 5, players were able to find a hidden battle star after they had completed all of the week’s challenges. However, Week 8 changed things up by introducing hidden banners, which, like the hidden battle stars, can be found on the battle royale map by deciphering loading screen clues. Just like last week, players who complete Week 9’s challenges will have another hidden banner to find, and here is where to find it....

Fortnite easily provides some of the best seasons in all of the battle royale genre. Season after season, Epic Games continues to deliver high-quality changes to the game’s battle royale mode. Sure, not all of the seasons have been winners, but Epic continues to innovate and iterate in the best possible way. Chapter 2 Season 7 has just released and with it comes a whole slew of exciting changes. Each season generally adds new weapons, map locations, and storyline tidbits, but this season has really gone all out to make it memorable....

With how many crossovers there are in Fortnite now, with DC’s The Flash being the latest to be confirmed, it’s difficult to be surprised anymore whenever a new one is announced or teased. That said, what’s looking to be the next crossover has appeared to legitimately surprise fans for how unexpected it is: Tron. Suspicions of a Tron skin being added to Fortnite first began after the latest datamine, courtesy of dataminer and frequent Fortnite leaker HYPEX....

Fortnite continues to take the world by storm, and now it seems as if professional sports are being affected by the increasingly popular video game. If you don’t know what Fortnite is by now then you must have been living under a rock for the past year. It currently feels as if you can’t scroll past more than three posts on social media without one of them being related to the online, multi-player, free-for-all, and with good reason....

Out of all the limited-time modes Fortnite has done so far, Playground Mode appears to have been one of the most popular. In fact, its popularity has inspired Epic Games to create a version that will be a permanent game mode, but while fans wait for that iteration, they will get another chance to try out the limited-time Playground Mode when it returns on July 25th. The official Fortnite Twitter account made the announcement today that Playground Mode is returning on Wednesday, July 25th....

Since the start of Season 7 in Fortnite, Polar Peak has been of particular interest for fans of the battle royale game. A massive chunk of ice has slowly been melting over the past eight weeks, revealing a large castle and various secrets within it. Now the ice is almost completely melted, and it seems as though it will soon reveal a prisoner. The Polar Peak ice has now melted down to the castle’s dungeon, revealing chains that appear to be restraining someone, or something, frozen in the ice....
