Nintendo Switch smash hit Fire Emblem: Three Houses has a remarkable way of endearing players to its characters. Over the course of the game, Byleth comes to truly care for the likes of the timid Bernadetta and roguish Claude. Heck, even the controversial Edelgard has a huge fanbase, being even more interesting and multi-faceted than a lot of her fellow units. Those Who Slither In The Dark, however, have precisely zero redeeming qualities, being hateful villains through and through....

Shocking news, Fire Emblem fans - everyone’s favorite meme lord and leader of the Golden Deer House, Claude von Riegan, has been lying to us all. Well, okay - maybe the fact that Claude’s been lying isn’t too shocking given his prankster reputation. But the subject of this particular lie is pretty surprising. Are you ready for this? Claude von Riegan…is not really “Claude” von Riegan. He’s been lying about his real name....

Indie developer House House announced today that their hit waterfowl simulator Untitled Goose Game will be receiving a free update on September 23rd that adds 2-player support for the game. While many are excited at the possibility of causing suburban mayhem with a partner, the news has got me thinking about 1 thing and 1 thing only: Untitled Goose Battle Royale. Don’t get me wrong, stealing lawn furniture and startling old ladies as a pair of mischievous geese sounds delightful....

Fortnite is now entering week 15 of its current Zero Point season and there’s a lot of things to dig up. One of the most elusive collectibles to be found are the XP coins scattered throughout the map. These coins can really aid in the progression of those looking to level up, but they can be tricky to find. Gathering all the coins up is one of the most efficient (and non-confrontational) ways for players to level up, with the developers ensuring their obscure placement....

Fortnite’s Week 10 challenges have finally arrived, and as usual they require a bit of know-how about the battle royale map. This time, players need to dance on Apres Ski’s dance floor. While this may seem straightforward, Apres Ski’s dance floor isn’t marked on the map as an obvious location, so finding it can be a bit of a challenge. Most of Fortnite’s challenges aren’t that demanding in terms of skill, and typically require the player to head to a location, perform some kind of action such as dancing, fishing, or some other mundane task....

In season 8, it seems as if the Ice King, the Prisoner, pirates, and more are fighting over newfound treasure on the Fortnite battle island.

The two big changes, of course, are the addition of two new named locations: Lazy Lagoon and Sunny Step....

In a post published to the Fortnite Battle Royale subreddit, a fan of the game shared a screenshot of their (failed) attempt to watch the Season 6 Battle Pass trailer....

Games Workshop has furthered the Warhammer Age of Sigmar narrative with the pending release of Broken Realms It should come as no surprise that two years on from the launch of AoS second edition that GW would be set to tease the future for its popular tabletop war game.

The Far Cry franchise is one of Ubisoft’s biggest properties and is known for its exotic locations and all-out action....

The amount of detail put into different pieces of Animal Crossing: New Horizons furniture boggles the mind. From mounted fans that each has their own wind physics to the mechanics of how New Horizons decides which color furniture pieces players can acquire, there’s no denying that the developers have invested heavily in integrating small details into the game to keep things fresh and interesting. And that includes making sure you can play pinball in-game....

PUBG Mobile has been putting up impressive numbers lately, having recently crossed the $5 billion threshold for lifetime revenue. However – according to new data from Sensor Tower – it’s no longer the top-grossing mobile battle royale in the US, having been overtaken by Garena Free Fire. During the first quarter of 2021, Garena Free Free managed to gross approximately $100 million, while PUBG Mobile only pulled in $68 million during the same timeframe....

For all of the frustrations that come naturally from getting hooked on a gacha RPG, Genshin Impact offers its players a bit of respite from its gambling mechanics by providing a host of easily-accessed free items that are just as useful (and sometimes more so) than the premium items earned through wishing. The list below makes it apparent that a snazzy and expensive weapon isn’t immune from being completely useless, and a low-rarity character or meal isn’t necessarily outdone by the 5-stars just because they’re easier to come across....

Once the players get past Adventure Rank 20 in Genshin Impact, it soon becomes apparent what kind of free game it is. Turns out, nothing is truly free at all, and while Genshin Impact hands out some resources for the game that alleviates the need to spend real-life money, players will have to work hard for them through grinding and time-gating. This can be frustrating for anyone who has been carelessly spending their resources....

While many of the promotional materials highlighting the upcoming Genshin Impact updates are straightforward, sharp fans have taken note of small teases and hints that seem to be present in some of the shared images....
