Genshin Impact is being updated at an impressive pace by miHoYo, and while the game served as an introduction to the developer for many console gamers, the team had already found success a few years ago with the PC and mobile title Honkai Impact 3rd. Though Honkai is now an old dog in the ever-expanding gacha RPG market, it has plenty of new tricks that Genshin should and likely will adopt....
It’s no secret that the story missions won’t last forever in Genshin Impact. Luckily for players though, there is a lot to do in the world while waiting for the next chapter to be revealed. Teyvat, especially in Liyue’s case, is brimming with world quests for the Traveler to take on. These quests can reward needed leveling materials, mora, and even primogems to give players a chance at pulling new characters....

It is downright impossible to talk about some of the greatest video game franchises of all time without mentioning the epitome of JRPG greatness that is Final Fantasy. Born from the dying embers of a company that was on its last legs, the first Final Fantasy game turned out to be a rousing success for Square, pulling them from the brink of destruction and irrelevancy and paving the way for the studio’s runaway success from this moment forth....
A video uploaded to the official Final Fantasy 14 YouTube page details the thought process that went into creating the game’s June expansion, Heavensward. While Final Fantasy 14: Heavensward released last June, the development team behind the massive expansion has remained in close contact with fans of the MMORPG. Final Fantasy 14: Heavensward added airship raids and pet battles, which further cemented the game’s status as one of the premier offerings within its genre....
Final Fantasy used to be one of the biggest names in the gaming industry at one point. While the franchise still has immense pulling power, one can’t deny that the overall impact of the series has lessened somewhat with games becoming more modern and action-oriented, as opposed to the turn-based combat of this legendary JRPG series. However, Square Enix knew just how important the Final Fantasy name is, and took the bold decision of making the latest game a fully-fledged open-world title with real-time combat....
The gameplay trailer for Final Fantasy 7 Remake has some fans concerned about the game’s new battle system. However, a completely new battle system could be a good thing. Ever since the teaser trailer for Final Fantasy 7 Remake dropped at E3 2015, speculation on what the game will entail has run rampant. For the most part, Square Enix has been purposefully vague when it comes to Final Fantasy 7 Remake, up until this past weekend’s PlayStation Experience event, that is....
Season 9 of Fortnite, the game that continues to perplex people over the age of 40 across the world, is currently in full swing. With the start of season 9, Fortnite is bigger and better than it has ever been. As such, the current season’s battle pass is filled to the brim with new content to obtain. The new season has a loosely high-tech, futuristic vibe to it. There’s new skins, pets, emotes, and more rewards to win....
Weekly challenges are a great way for players to make progress on Fortnite’s Season 4 Battle Pass, and a new batch of tasks is set to go live this Thursday, October 22. That said, fans need not wait until Thursday to get a look at the Fortnite Season 4 Week 9 challenges, as they have already leaked online. For those players that want to prepare themselves for these new challenges, or need some guidance with the more difficult tasks, details can be found in what follows....
Anticipation for Fortnite’s season 6 is building, and players may have discovered a new teaser for it. While various theories have appeared concerning the mysterious cube, including (once again) the destruction of Tilted Towers, this latest connection seems to be undeniable. Items such as shields have begun to appear out of thin air at Loot Lake, making a noise similar to that of the Mystery Cube. With Loot Lake also being a strong contender for whatever the Cube is doing, these sudden changes make sense....
The final week of Fortnite season 8 is now underway, and per usual, there are new season 8 week 10 challenges to complete prior to the end of the season. This week’s challenges require players to shoot themselves from Pirate Cannons through flaming hoops, complete yet another season 8 treasure challenge, deal damage with either Infantry Rifles or Heavy Assault Rifles, and more. Once all of these challenges are complete, there will be a secret banner to claim for this final week of season 8....
Without a doubt, the 50v50 LTM is one of the most fan-favored modes in Fortnite. The Soaring 50’s twist, which allowed players to re-deploy gliders, was also well-received and has been featured a number of times. Now, it appears what makes that mode unique is coming to other modes in Epic Games’ popular battle royale title Fortnite. Announced October 23 by Epic Games, it was revealed that Fortnite would be hosting a glider re-deploy test alongside the v6....
The recent 13.20 update to Epic Games’ battle royale Fortnite has added more content for players, such as new Punch Cards and rare golden mushrooms that offer boosts. However, a new exploit has also been discovered in the game since that update hit, this time allowing players to automatically reload their weapons if they quickly drop and pick them up again. Popular Fortnite streamer Turner “Tfue” Tenney highlighted this exploit on Twitch Wednesday, describing it as “broken” because of how quickly it can be done, which essentially negates all necessity to reload....
Fortnite is in the middle of season 2 and a collaboration with Marvel’s Deadpool, weekly challenges associated with Deadpool and tasks for players to perform around the map. Fortnite is now well known for its collaborations, including adding weapons and characters from Marvel Avengers, Star Wars and even the NFL. Now, a new collaboration may have been leaked. Back in February, there were rumors flying around about Fortnite possibly putting on another live concert....
If there’s one thing that’s been insanely popular in 2018, it’s Fortnite. But, if there are two wildly popular trends in the gaming world this year, they are Fornite and Ninja. The streamer has skyrocketed to the top of Twitch’s record charts and he continues to build a stronger following all the time. It may feel like Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins just blew some records out of the water a few weeks ago (while playing Fortnite with Drake and a Pittsburgh Steeler), but he’s already back at it again....
Hardly a day goes by without a new story focused on lootbox or microtransation drama dropping and the gaming landscape is quickly trying to shift to make sure upcoming titles aren’t bogged down by those problems. Gears of War 5 is certainly no exception and the team behind the game is taking some time months before its launch to clarify how multiplayer fans will be able to unlock content. There’s a lot to unpack here, but the main highlights are that Gears of War 5 will feature no season pass, no Gears Packs, and all DLC maps will be free for matchmaking and private play....
Its easy to say that Genshin Impact takes a lot of inspiration from Breath of The Wild when you directly compare the two, but in reality, many of the mechanics this open-world RPG has are not at all uncommon for the genre as a whole. Cooking, for example, is an RPG staple that tons of games implement in their own ways. For as common as this mechanic is, each game puts its own spin on exactly how it works....
In Genshin Impact, players have to keep track of lots of different kinds of currency and levels. Characters, weapons, artifacts, talents and adventure rank are all leveled up in different ways and require different types of experience. Though all of these are important, one of the most crucial of these is adventure rank, as increasing it unlocks many features. There are certain aspects of Genshin Impact that players simply won’t be able to take part in unless they raise their adventure rank high enough....
Genshin Impact characters and weapons all require varying materials before allowing themselves to be upgraded and enhanced, most of which are found naturally throughout the game’s continent, Teyvat. Some of these rare crafting ingredients, like the Starconch, are also often featured as part of in-game quests and challenges too, making them all the more valuable to hold onto. Travelers who’ve opted to purchase the Genshin Impact Battle Pass are probably already familiar with the “Specialty Challenge” series of tasks, which require that players collect 100 “local specialties” from the region named by the particular challenge....
The Thundersoother set is a rare Artifact in Genshin Impact. Here’s where players can find it in Teyvat, how to get it, and what it’s best used for. Pulling the right Artifacts is one of the most essential mechanics to Genshin Impact’s gameplay, but pairing the perfect set with the right characters can be a bit of a challenge. Firstly, the rarest Artifact sets, Thundersoother included, can only be pulled when running Domains at higher levels....
