Gotham Knights is the upcoming game from WB Games Montreal. Revealed at DC FanDome 2020, the new title will feature Nightwing, Batgirl, Robin, and Red Hood as the 4 main playable characters as they go up against the Court of Owls after the death of Bruce Wayne. However, Gotham Knights’ best feature, its multiple player protagonists, may undercut itself. The game’s greatest marketing point could also cause some of the greatest hurdles in its development, which WB Games Montreal will need to overcome to make the title a hit on the next-gen consoles....

I’ve got a bit of an obsession with card games, much to my detriment. I can’t seem to make much progress in The Witcher 3 once I unlock Gwent, and when the card game was released as a stand-alone game, it was all over for me. I sunk hundreds of hours of my life into the PlayOnline launcher’s version of Tetra Master, and now I’m annoyed with myself for getting into Riot’s Legends of Runeterra....

It’s been four years since the release of Final Fantasy 15, and 14 years of development time since its initial conception as Final Fantasy Versus 13.

However, this uncertainty didn’t stop fans from speculating about the many potential features and elements that Square Enix might include in this much-awaited sequel. Given FF15 and Final Fantasy VII Remake garnered Metacritic scores of 81 and 88, respectively, fans eagerly await news regarding what might happen to FF16....

Final Fantasy XIV wasn’t always one of the best MMORPGs. In fact, its development story is one of the most interesting in video game history. Before A Realm Reborn, Final Fantasy XIV existed in 2010 in a very different form than how fans know it today. It certainly serves as an inspirational story of how a project can burn down but then rise like a phoenix from its ashes. With the original game gone today, it is easy for new players to never learn this interesting history....

Fortnite players still have a month or so to enjoy Season 5 aka Zero Point before Season 6 inevitably rolls in. With all the multiverse shenanigans the current season as been embracing, with numerous guest characters from God of War’s Kratos to G.I.

G2 and Envy, two of the biggest esports organizations in the world, can both claim championship-winning rosters. Yet, recently, the two companies have been exchanging barbs via social media. It began when Envy Gaming owner Mike “Hastr0” Rufail and G2 Esports owner Carlos “Ocelote” Rodríguez started a Twitter war of sorts. It’s well-known that Envy has dominated Call of Duty for several years now, while G2 has excelled in CS: GO....

If you’ve played a recent Nintendo game, you’ve probably been bombarded with quite a few references to other Nintendo properties. It’s fairly common to turn on one of their titles and see several Easter eggs that allude to Zelda, Pokemon, Metroid, or any other of their successful franchises. So it’s not surprising that Animal Crossing: New Horizons is also swarming with these references. It’s even possible to buy a Nintendo Switch inside this game that’s being played on a Nintendo Switch, which is pretty meta....

Even if you’ve only played one Zelda game, chances are you have a good idea of who Ganondorf is. The King of Darkness, the Prince of Evil, or whatever you want to call him, Ganondorf has been terrorizing Link and Zelda for ages now, and it looks like he’s not about to let up....

Genshin Impact has been out for less than a year, but the game already boasts an impressive array of characters, weapons, and Artifacts for players to choose from. That said, such a variety of characters and attributes leads to an even greater number of potential team compositions and character builds, which in turn calls for more particular equipment. Recent images, courtesy of Genshin Impact leaker NEP NEP, show that Geo and Hydro lovers will finally be getting some of their own unique Artifact Sets....

Ghost of Tsushima fans have been thanked for raising funds to repair a Torri that was toppled by a typhoon in Tsushima. One of the many reasons why video games are great is because they can transport us to places that we wish we could visit in reality.

Those that have spent any amount of time with Ghost of Tsushima will know that Jin is a skilled fighter. Like all Samurai, he is extremely well trained, but his willingness to break his code to do what must be done and his natural talent for combat makes him exceed the likes of Shimura and the other Samurai at Komoda Beach. Astute fans may have noticed another detail about Jin which surprisingly links him to Goku from Dragon Ball Z, as both show an incredible aptitude for learning new techniques incredibly easily....
