God of War director Cory Barlog claims that the changes he recently made to his Twitter are not hints towards a new game. By all accounts, it sounds like the Sony Santa Monica developer is focused on God of War Ragnarok, which is targeting a 2021 release.

Many consider Final Fantasy X to be the best entry in the franchise and that’s in no small part due to Tidus. His relationship with Yuna and the heartfelt interactions between them help to provide some of the game’s best moments. When combined with his personal development throughout the game, they make him an incredibly relatable character. Awkward laughing aside, there really is a lot to love about Tidus. The game was one of the most successful Final Fantasy titles ever and was the first to receive a direct sequel....
All Final Fantasy XIV players start their journeys in one of three city-states: Gridania, Ul’dah, and Limsa Lominsa. Each city has its own distinctive culture and starting storyline, but players interested in FFXIV’s lore or joining the game’s ample roleplaying community may be disappointed to find out that information about FFXIV’s most notable locations is rather sparse. What information there is tends to be scattered, revealed later in the game’s storyline, or overshadowed by bigger, more important story events—not very accessible to players looking to build their characters’ lore, is it?...
Ubisoft released a roadmap today detailing its plans for Season 3 and 4 of For Honor. But stealing the thunder from the upcoming content plans is the reveal that For Honor is going to be shifting to dedicated server technology. While still working on patches and server stability for For Honor, Ubisoft’s also been working on dedicated servers for some time. That said, it’s a big change, and while Ubisoft plans to roll it out in Season 3 or 4, there’s still a lot of work to do....

One of Fortnite’s Season 5 Week 9 challenges instructs players to find the crashed plane’s black box, and it is perhaps one of the most difficult of the newly-added tasks. Indeed, fans may need to scour the map quite thoroughly before they find the requisite object, and that can prove to be quite a time-consuming endeavor. That said, fans that reference this guide can completely circumvent this search, as it will provide the precise location of the black box in Fortnite....
Epic has added a weapon called the Charge Shotgun to Fortnite for Season 3, and it is unlike any other shotgun to have called the island home so far. The new additions made to Fortnite in Season 3 might appear to be entirely water-based on the surface, but that’s not strictly true. Yes, Aquaman and a very flooded map have stolen the headlines for the past two weeks, but there are other smaller additions that deserve some of the spotlight too....
As Fortnite continues to grow in popularity, players seem to want more and more customizations as time goes along.

Epic Games continues to evolve the Battle Royale experience for Fortnite players, which certainly helps to keep things feel fresh on the sole map that’s been available since the mode launched. This time around, an Ice Sphere exploded, revealing an entity known as the Ice King as well as unleashing a winter spell which turned the entire map into snow and ice. The event also unleashed creatures known as ice fiends into the world for players to hunt to complete special challenges, though it appears not all players were satisfied with the creature’s spawn rates....
Fortnite players get to enjoy various updates and continuous changes to the game such as the recently added vending machines, but it’s not always clear where the inspiration for these changes come from. However, that’s not true for the latest costume and glider, which is clearly inspired by Edgar Allan Poe, a foundational figure of the Southern Gothic genre. Right after data miners discovered that Fortnite would be receiving a mysterious visitor, Epic Games announced that the raven costume was, in fact, available now....
For Friday the 13th: The Game players who were not completely satisfied with the color choice for the recently added Part 5 Jason, an alternate color option will be made available to them soon. Apparently, there has been an ongoing debate between Friday the 13th: The Game players on the precise color of Part 5 Jason’s coveralls from the film. Some see them as blue, while others see green. Players are pretty adamant about staying true to the source material, and both sides have been making their case online with screenshots to back up their claims on what the color should be....
It was apparent when Bungie and Activision ended their partnership earlier this year, there would be big changes coming to Destiny 2.

Once a giant of the video game retail industry, GameStop is now struggling. GameStop was nearly bought out this past February, and then the company reported a full-year loss of $673 million. Despite these hardships, GameStop thinks that there may very well be a bright future ahead of it, and that is thanks to the impending launch of the PlayStation 5 and next-generation Xbox. Speaking to investors, GameStop CFO Rob Lloyd said, “With respect to new hardware, as we get closer to the end of the current console cycle for Xbox and PlayStation, we expect demand to decline as some customers choose to wait on the sidelines in anticipation of acquiring the next generation of innovative consoles....
