Loki officially joined the seemingly infinite Fortnite roster this week, and players using his skin have already discovered a pretty major problem. Fortnite added Loki to its roster this week in conjunction with the God of Mischief’s ongoing Disney Plus show. Loki joins a growing number of Marvel characters now stuck in The Loop including Black Widow, Captain America, and Thanos. Neither Fortnite nor Marvel has put a foot wrong during this collaboration, however, some owners of the Loki skin have highlighted a problem....

Update: Epic’s plans have apparently changed. Initially, Epic planned to nerf the Infinity Blade by making it so players who held the Mythic weapon could not build or gather resources. Now, however, Epic has “Vaulted” the Infinity Blade in its entirety. As in, the weapon is no longer available in-game and won’t be returning while Epic is “re-evaluating” its approach to Mythic items. According to Epic, the Infinity Blade is too “overpowered / without good counters, especially in the end game....

Fortnite players rejoice! The battle royale game will be available to download and play on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X at launch. It feels a little like the COVID-19 outbreak is preventing anything new from hitting the entertainment world right now. Projects have been delayed and postponed all across the globe. However, Sony and Microsoft remain adamant that the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X will both be released before the end of 2020, giving gamers something to look forward to....

Alongside video games’ current resurgence in the realm of movies, with titles like Mortal Kombat, Uncharted, Metal Gear Solid, and Sonic the Hedgehog 2 in the works, the medium is also getting a myriad of TV adaptations. From Devil May Cry and Twisted Metal to Fallout and The Last of Us, there’s a range of video game stories currently primed to make their debut on televisions across the world. The weirdest of these crossovers might just have been announced, however, with Deadline revealing that NBCUniversal is working on a TV-version of Frogger....

Many fans of the Alien franchise found themselves surprised and pleased with Alien: Isolation. Not only that, but it also appealed to those who like sci-fi and to lovers of the Survival Horror genre. It’s a memorable game that got everything right, from the graphics to the setting. Playing through the game feels like being transported into an old Alien movie, complete with unwanted visitors. The retro vision of futuristic technology, claustrophobia, and the Xenomorph all contribute to this fantastic atmosphere....

Gears of War is about to feel the power as WWE superstars The New Day will be coming to Gears 5 as DLC characters. This news should excite wrestling fans as we can now play Kofi Kingston, Big E, or even Xavier Woods in the latest entry in the franchise. For those unfamiliar with The New Day, they are a team of three that have been prominently featured throughout WWE. They are marketed as a tag team, often winning championships during their time on the wrestling program Smackdown....

Along with two other Gears of War games (Gears Pop! and Gears 5), Microsoft used its E3 conference today to announce Gears Tactics. The game is going to be a turn-based tactics game set in the Gears of War universe, and it will take place 12 years before the first Gears of War game. Seeming to take several cues from the XCOM series, Gears Tactics is going to allow players to make their own squad and use them in an isometric battleground against Locust enemies....

Pokémon Gold & Silver introduced the first new crop of Pokémon to the series. The original line of up 151 Pokémon that were introduced in Red & Blue were unbalanced in terms of power, so new types were added in order to help even the playing field. It was actually hard to determine which of the new Pokémon from Johto were effective or not, as the games made it so hard to find most of them....

Genshin Impact’s Lost Riches event primarily centers around a currency called Iron Coins, which players can find in the various treasure areas that are revealed each day. That said, there are also some special treasures for fans to locate during the event, and one of them is hidden near Yaoguang Shoal. For those players that may be having some trouble uncovering the Yaoguang Shoal special treasure in Genshin Impact, this guide is here to provide assistance....

After kicking off the PlayStation 4 era with Infamous: Second Son, Sucker Punch is closing it with a bang thanks to Ghost of Tsushima. The Samurai inspired game has already become a smash hit for Sony, pulling in acclaim from fans and critics alike. The title also revealed new DLC content called Ghost of Tsushima: Legends, adding a cooperative element to the single player experience. Thanks to a recent release of an art book, new details for the anticipated multiplayer mode have leaked earlier than expected....

Released in mid-July, Ghost of Tsushima has been keeping people busy. An unexpectedly quick-selling game in the wake of The Last of Us Part II’s smash hit release numbers just the month before, Tsushima has plenty of things outside of its main story campaign for the players to amuse themselves with, and some statistics recently released by PlayStation have given us all an insight into what exactly players are spending their time on when they boot up the samurai simulator....

God of War Artist Raf Grassetti has a history of creating impressive artwork based on popular franchises. Recently, the artist shared artwork of Star Fox characters, though they’ve shown plenty of other cool stuff in the past too. Now, Grassetti has taken to Twitter to show yet another awesome piece of art. The new artwork depicts various popular Batman villains created with incredible detail, featuring popular characters like Two-Face, Harley Quinn, and more....

There have been many versions of Wolverine throughout his history. From Weapon X and Bounty Hunter Logan to Old Man Logan and Vampire Wolverine, there have been a lot of incarnations of everyone’s favorite cigar-smoking X-Man. However, it looks like a new version of Wolverine was born over Twitter as Cory Barlog answered a question that led to a detailed look at how he would handle Logan in a video game....

Sony Santa Monica, the studio behind the 2018 reboot of God of War, appears to be hiring for a ton of positions, which may indicate that the studio is gearing up for a new project. The new positions appear to mostly be comprised of senior and lead positions, which may indicate that the Sony-owned developer is staffing up to begin working on a new project rather than just a follow up to the massively successful God of War....

When one talks about some of the most iconic gaming franchises of all time, then it’s only a matter of time before the words “Final” and “Fantasy” are strung together in one sentence. Anyone with even the minutest knowledge of JRPGs in the gaming mainstream can understand why this is the case — the Final Fantasy series is considered by many to be one of the most legendary franchises of all time, and one need only look at the hype surrounding the Final Fantasy XVI release to realize just how much people loved this beloved series....

Final Fantasy 14’s Endwalker expansion will close a nearly decade-old tale this fall with a war between gods, Zodiark and Hydaelyn. As the story comes to a close, we’ll (hopefully) wrap up some of Eorzea’s biggest plot threads, before starting anew in the updates following version 6.0. As I look to the future of the MMORPG, I’m equal parts scared and excited, as I don’t know who the story will ask me to part with, who will go on, and what will become of some of the friends I’ve found in the Scions of the Seventh Dawn....

The announcement of Final Fantasy 16 during Sony’s most recent PlayStation 5 event came as a huge surprise to fans of the series. While the title has been rumored for years, actually seeing the reveal trailer and ambition in the game’s dark fantasy style is more refreshing than ever coming off of this year’s Final Fantasy 7 Remake and 2016’s Final Fantasy 15, two games which make heavy use of more science-fiction visual motifs....

Square Enix announces that the publisher’s next Final Fantasy project will be Final Fantasy Legends 2, a game made exclusively for iOS and Android mobile devices. Even for a franchise with the kind of dizzying highs the Final Fantasy series has experienced, 2016 has been a good year. The positive reception for the World of Final Fantasy, which was a big risk during development due to its art direction that aims at ensaring a younger audience, has paid dividends for Square Enix....
