More content for Star Wars Battlefront II was announced by EA and DICE today at E3. In the wake of a rocky start to the game, and the announcement of the Han Solo season, the developer has announced that Clone Wars content will be coming to the game. The original Battlefront, released in 2015, included characters and maps from the original Star Wars trilogy, but ignored the prequel series, the Clone Wars, and the new series of films....

When it comes to free-to-play games, providing players with meaningful day-to-day tasks is important to keep a title relevant and enjoyable. Genshin Impact offers an abundance of activities and excellent side quests to engage in, all of which will help players garner the materials, artifacts, and weapons they need to grow their team. While these activities are evenly distributed throughout the game’s map, running around the sprawling world of Teyvat can grow tiring....

So you haven’t been blessed with 5-star characters yet? Not to worry, Genshin Impact doesn’t exactly pressure players into having the best damage or the best team compositions around. Because surprise-surprise, 4-star characters are actually viable in-game regardless of the content level. They may not be as flashy as 5-star characters, but at least players don’t blow a good chunk of their salary trying to get them. Then again, not all of them are good if math and efficiency are concerned....

Genshin Impact is a game that is entirely free to play for those who don’t want to spend money. The game starts players out with the Traveler and three members of the Knights of Favonius. One of the most popular characters out of the knights is the mysterious Kaeya, a four-star cryo sword user who can be a great DPS when built right. The trick is learning what artifacts and weapons to use, as well as being able to pull his constellations....

Both Genshin Impact and Immortals Fenyx Rising take inspiration from Breath of the Wild, with similarities coming in both visual design and some gameplay mechanics. They’re both great games in their own right, too, offering players unique experiences that are both worthy of investing time into. Despite their similarities, both games are very different, each has strengths and weaknesses compared to the other, which makes it easier for players to decide which they’ll prefer....

Now that the first major Genshin Impact event has officially concluded, miHoYo seems ready to press forward with new events and surprises. Though leaks have given players a general sense of where the game’s going in the near future, specific details, like release dates and timeframes, have remained mostly unconfirmed. One such release date has finally been unveiled by Genshin Impact, as fans now know exactly when they can expect the next valuable five-star character, Zhongli, to join the game’s ranks....

Bethesda made a surprise appearance at Sony’s E3 2013 press conference where it was unveiled that ZeniMax Online Studios’ ambitious attempt to bring The Elder Scrolls franchise into the MMO market would not be PC-exclusive, but would be coming to next-gen consoles as well. The Elder Scrolls Online will be coming to PS4 and Xbox One and we just played it for the first time and as game director Matt Firor told us, it’s a testament to how powerful consoles, describing them as “beefy PCs at heart....

I’ve earned the Platinum Trophy in Ghost of Tsushima (bow before me etc), so I’d like to think I have a solid understanding of what the open-world adventure does right, alongside all of the ways in which it falls short of its full potential. Sucker Punch is like a weeaboo buying samurai swords at Comic-Con, it loves to preach about honour, cherry blossoms, and how it could easily bring down several warriors with a single swing of its blade....

With the release of its new Legends mode, Ghost of Tsushima has gained longevity. Already a well reviewed game, Ghost of Tsushima has re-endeared itself to players twice over with Legends. There’s a lot to do in the base game of Ghost of Tsushima, but Legends adds an entire new dimension to the game. A co-op focused mode, Legends has players take on one of four roles. These Samurais, Ronins, Hunters, and Assassins face hordes of supernatural enemies together....

Gamers love authentic experiences, and developer Sucker Punch seems to be attempting to provide one with their upcoming action game, Ghost of Tsushima, which can be played entirely in Japanese with English subtitles. The information was confirmed to Game Rant during a gameplay demo at E3. The addition of Japanese audio should help provide a more grounded, believable and cinematic experience as players hack and slash their way through the PlayStation-exclusive title....

While God of War is one of the most anticipated games coming to the PS4 at present, we’ve heard very little about when the game is finally due to release. Though both Sony and developer Santa Monica Studio have kept the launch date secret up until this point, the voice actor for Kratos himself claims that the game will be releasing next year. According to the Twitter profile of voice actor Christopher Judge, the upcoming God of War has a 2018 release date....

Any company trying to release a new console or game system into the current market is in for a tough time. This was epitomized by the rocky launch of Stadia, Google’s streaming platform. Despite an increasing library of games, including the arrival of Risk of Rain 2, Stadia still has troubles. This is hardly surprising for a number of reasons. Stadia’s launch was marked by issues streaming the games, a small library, and a serious lack of exclusives....

The venture of Google into cloud-gaming has been slightly disappointing and Stadia suffered from a mixed reception. Despite the underwhelming reception of the Stadia, there have been efforts to improve the platform including the development of the pro membership and an increasingly large library of games. This investment in existing titles has continued, and some games by publisher Electronic Arts are now coming to the service. With that said, some of these games have had a mixed reception themselves....

Fighting game aficionados have had quite a bit of content thus far to keep them entertained. Ranging from the addition of Mewtwo to Super Smash Bros. to the release of Mortal Kombat X, there’s been no shortage of reasons to pick up a controller and fine-tune those dormant fighting game skills. Of course, Microsoft has also been entertaining consumers by steadily releasing new fighters for the ongoing second season of Killer Instinct, and the company has just detailed the final fighter that’ll be arriving in the very near future....

The Final Fantasy franchise is responsible for some of the most impressive and popular RPG video games of all time. Every game in the franchise features amazing worlds and engaging characters, but Final Fantasy 7 has slowly gained the reputation of being one of the flagship titles in the series. The success of the recent Final Fantasy 7 Remake also shows that love for the title is still very strong. There’s a lot to enjoy in the formative RPG, but the title’s protagonist, Cloud Strife, covers a lot of ground and is easily one of the most fascinating things about the game....

Final Fantasy 7 Remake might not be out until tomorrow, but since plenty of professional gaming outlets have already played the game, a lot of information regarding the game’s gameplay is making its way online ahead of time, and that includes the remake’s approach to Limit Breaks. For the newcomers reading this, Limit Breaks are special abilities that can be used in battle once a Limit bar is filled. Each of the game’s four playable characters comes with their own unique Limit Break, and these can range in use from causing massive damage to enemies to healing the entire party....

With four tanks, three healing, and 11 DPS jobs, it can be difficult for a Final Fantasy XIV player to know where to start. A great part of the MMO is the fact that one character can take on multiple jobs. However, players typically have a main job that they stick to for story content. It is the class the play as the most. One way to decide which job may be best to main is to match it with your zodiac....

With Fortnite season 8 well underway, players are tasked with a new series of challenges every week in a drastically changed landscape. The advent of season 8 saw the emergence of the volcano and two new named locations, Sunny Steps and Lazy Lagoon. These additions have made finding the weekly hidden battle stars and banners, especially in these areas, slightly harder. Building off the alternating pattern established back in season 6, Fortnite players are tasked with finding a hidden battle star every odd week (1,3,5,7,9) and a hidden banner every even week (2,4,6,8,10)....
