A recent leak has suggested that the next Genshin Impact banner could be devoted to Xiao, an Adeptus from Liyue who you may have already encountered during the main story. The information comes from a variety of Genshin Impact leaks that recently surfaced online, which included information about upcoming characters, quests, events, and more. According to the leaks, the next Genshin Impact banner is likely to be either Xiao or Zhongli, a Geo-based character....

We’ve collected all of the currently available details about the upcoming patch, as well as new information about the two subsequent updates coming to the game in the ten weeks following it.

When we first gazed upon BioShock Infinite in an epic gameplay trailer from Irrational Games, our first sight wasn’t of a horde of enemies getting swept away by a racking fireball, a bell tower collapsing at our feet, or a panorama of Columbia’s stunning skyline. No, that came later. One of our first glimpses of BioShock Infinite, rather, was a painted wall mural depicting an idolized George Washington - a notice to the citizens of Columbia to always be on guard against the “foreign hordes....

God of War: Ragnarok will almost certainly go down as one of the best games of 2022, one of the best games in the God of War franchise, and one of PlayStation’s best exclusives in an increasingly impressive library of exclusives. It’s that rare game that both lives up to many expectations and wonderfully defies others. While there are so many ways that Ragnarok demonstrates why Triple-A sequels are typically among the most anticipated games in a given year, there are other ways that the game exposes the complicated state of the sequel industry....

When Warner Bros. made the decision to give its entire 2021 lineup simultaneous HBO Max releases, many people were thrilled. The prospect of watching big blockbusters at home the day they come out is somewhat unprecedented, and many HBO Max subscribers couldn’t believe the bargain they were getting. That said, not everyone was happy about the news, particularly Legendary Entertainment, who were prepping Godzilla Vs. Kong for the silver screen....

The King of the Monsters and the Eighth Wonder of the World may have their anticipated showdown play out on a streaming service instead of theaters. Both Netflix and WarnerMedia have reportedly made offers for Legendary Pictures’ Godzilla vs. Kong. Directed by Adam Wingard, Godzilla vs. Kong is the fourth installment of Legendary’s MonsterVerse and was slated to debut in theaters in November 2020. However, the monster film was one of the many Hollywood tentpoles to be postponed until 2021 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic....

The event will run from today, April 14th, 2021 from 1:00 am and will last until April 28th, 2021 at 7.59 am (PDT).

For everything you need to know about where to start the event, how to complete it, and what rewards you can get, we’ve got it all covered right here....

The Bozjan Southern Front is an ambitious large-scale encounter that will be implemented in Final Fantasy XIV’s next update, Patch 5.35. It is a large 72-player instance somewhat similar to The Forbidden Land, Eureka. In this zone, players will work together with the Bozjan Resistance and join them in their fight against the Garlean Empire’s IVth Imperial Legion. Players will need to be a level 71 Disciple of War or Magic in order to participate in this instance....

There are few video game characters that can truly be considered “iconic”. Characters that the layperson on the street would be able to recognize by a silhouette of them. Mascots like Mario and Sonic or cultural phenomena like Pokemon also come to mind. However, in the realm of the RPG, one character stood out above the rest for the longest time: Cloud Strife. Cloud, the protagonist of Final Fantasy VII, has made dozens of appearances and has countless references in other games....

When Square Enix made the decision to remake Final Fantasy 7, on top of the already controversial decision to split the game’s story into multiple parts, it also chose to completely recast the game’s core characters. Nearly a month after release, Square Enix’s new vision for Final Fantasy 7 has been fully realized by the world and resonated with audiences, almost unanimously, for being so much more than just a simple remake....

Summonable creatures are one of the core traits of the Final Fantasy series, though they can go by different names depending on the game. In Final Fantasy 8, the summons are called Guardian Forces (GFs). There are 16 junctionable GFs in total, with an additional six that cannot be junctioned but that appear at random during battles or that are summoned by using specific items. These later GFs are more like pseudo-GFs....

Fire Emblem fans in North America got a treat last year when the classic Famicom title Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light released for the first time on northern soil. Alongside this digital release, Nintendo also offered a Fire Emblem 30th Anniversary Edition, which is still in high demand after being released into the wild late last year. The digital release of Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light had the catch of being a limited-time release - available on the Nintendo Switch eShop until March 31, 2021....

Firestarter is not often mentioned in lists of Stephen King’s classic novels; although it was his sixth published novel (under his own name) and came out during his initial decade of phenomenal success, it’s not exactly held up there with landmarks like The Shining or The Stand. Of course there was still the inevitable movie, released in 1984 when it seemed like there was a new King adaptation hitting screens every month....

I’m a firm believer that Hunter x Hunter (2011) has no bad episodes - except for episode six, which simply does not exist. Anyway, the ridiculously high quality of every episode means that pretty much every single Hunter x Hunter arc is exceptional in its own right. The Hunter’s Exam adroitly introduces us to our main cast, while Heaven’s Arena - despite its short runtime - explains the mysterious properties of Nen, which serves as the core foundation for the power dynamics we witness over the course of the next 100+ episodes....

With every new generation of gaming, realism has become more prominent as technology advances and graphics capabilities improve. However, among the many simulators and creation games available, The Sims has stood the test of time, fostering an abundant creator and modder community and consistently adding new content to its base games. Now, one of the major minds behind the franchise is setting his sights on a new studio with future prospects....

Epic continues to mix things up in Fortnite’s Chapter 2 Season 3 map with shifting water levels, areas that have been altered or submerged, and a new course for its mysterious loot-laden ship. Popular Fortnite streamer SypherPK breaks down the changes that occurred on the July 11th update in a Youtube video, and suspects that these strange tweaks may be beats in a story. Other changes that came with the shift in tides include the disappearance of an entire island, and the reemergence of the drive-in theater area, Risky Reels, which was submerged at the start of Season 3 when Epic flooded the popular battle royale game’s map....

In Fortnite, the dream of being a ninja has always been a figurative achievement. Sneaking isn’t the easiest way to play the battle royale, though assassination is always encouraged. Today’s Fortnite patch includes a new item that should make it easier for all players to become the ninja they want to be. Introducing the Shadow Bomb, an uncommon grenade drop that turns players into a ninja. Becoming a ninja in Fortnite is relatively simple and easy....

Following the announcement of Resident Evil 6 at the beginning of the year, Capcom has pushed-out a steady stream of pre-release information - leading up to the game’s October 2nd launch date. While certain features, like the mysterious “agent hunt mode” have yet to be detailed, recent weeks have given us official confirmation of post-game Ada Wong missions, pre-order incentives, and clarification on the title’s 4-player co-op system. Now, we’re getting an especially sought-after bit of information: the full Resident Evil 6 achievement/trophy list - including the game’s secret/hidden challenges....

After years of seeming to be stuck in development limbo, news about the first part of Square Enix’s Final Fantasy 7 Remake has been coming in waves since the beginning of E3. With a set release date, and an extensive gameplay reveal during the company’s press conference, more news about the remake’s episodic release approach has been outlined. Highlights from an interview with Final Fantasy 7 Remake producer Yoshinori Kitase offer up many details about how the future chapters for the game will be developed....

Game developers are criticizing Ubisoft for their latest partnership with HitRecord, calling it exploitative of musicians. Ubisoft recently announced their partnership with Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s company for the upcoming game, Watch Dogs: Legion, whereby fans and hobbyists can collaboratively create music that might be featured in the game. The idea of the site is to take in submissions from anyone online and build something great using whatever people contribute. One person might provide a nice reverb while another person provides an interesting electronic beat or vocals....
