MMO-inspired raids are a thing in Fortnite now, apparently.
Over the past weekend, one Fortnite player drew attention to an entire raid mission being available in Fortnite. The "Doomsday Raid," which you can see in action just below, is entirely a creation of the battle royale game's community, as six players can team up to try their hand at besting "The God of Exiles" in what looks like a raid straight out of Final Fantasy 14.

So yes, raids are a thing in Fortnite now, somehow. This is a magnificent showcase of the game's creation tools, which players have been putting through their paces for years to create all sorts of whacky game modes. You rarely see an entire raid come out of something like this, though.
Apparently, the next day on August 14, a team finally cleared the Doomsday Raid. With all those area-of-effect attacks popping off one after the other, it'll put even veteran Fortnite players through a harrowing gauntlet, but it's worth noting that an apparent bug could stop teams from completing the raid if one team member is killed.

And yes, of course, there are Destiny 2 comparisons around. We'd argue, though, that Fortnite's raid probably doesn't require dozens upon dozens of hours of grinding to reach. Still, if Fortnite players do want more raids after the Doomsday Raid, they could always try out Bungie's MMO shooter.

We can't help but wonder what other sorts of missions we might see come out of Fortnite's creation tools. If you're yet to experience the player-made side of Epic's game, we couldn't recommend it more - it can really provide a breath of fresh air and respite from the usual hectic shenanigans of the core battle royale mode.

Black Eye Games, the developer of the medieval MMO Gloria Victis, has announced that it will shut down the game and close its doors at the conclusion of the current season. The studio said the shutdown is «mostly due to financial reasons,» but also that the effort of keeping the game running and growing has also left the team exhausted and burned out.
Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon has been out for only a few days, but an intrepid group of aesthetically minded AC pilots have embraced the game’s extensive paint and decal editors to make sharp-dressed mechs. Virtually every other mech you can think of is being remade in Armored Core 6, with masterfully recreated versions of the XVX-016 Gundam Aerial, the Evangelion Unit-01, GaiGar, Megas, Gipsy Danger, and many others flooding social media.
Videogame dinosaurs are back, baby. We've previously covered how Ferocious is lunging for the empty throne of DinoCrisis with its reveal in June, and now, via Gamescom and the Future Games Show, we've gotten a new look at yet another dino-themed FPS horror game, Deathground.
A vampire named Kado Thorne is apparently trying to take over the Island.
As part of Gamescom 2023's Opening Night Live showcase, CD Projekt Red unveiled a brand new trailer for Cyberpunk 2077's hotly anticipated Phantom Liberty expansion.
When it comes to certain developers/publishers, they know that they need to not only keep creating fresh ideas but also keep the franchises that are the most popular alive. By that, we mean not only cranking out new entries when possible but ensuring they are quality and do as well as previous titles. Ubisoft has a few franchises they can count on to get attention for them, one being Far Cry. To that end, Ubisoft has revealed that they have promoted Sandra Warren to the role of Vice President of the brand, a true honor.
This year's Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo, the musical and military performance taking place in Scotland, featured Final Fantasy 7's anti-military opening mission theme.
The next hotfix for Baldur's Gate 3 hasn't got a release date yet, but fans are already prepared with their wishlists.
As we all know, if a video game is beloved, it will tend to get lots of attention from its developers/publishers and “blossom” in ways that gamers will typically appreciate. When Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles was released on the Nintendo Gamecube in 2003, it was hailed as one of the best games in the franchise. With its unique look, fun story, tight gameplay mechanics, and more, gamers and critics fell in love with it. The game would get spinoffs and a remaster to showcase how good it was. However, many are stunned the game never got a true sequel.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 will also be out on the previous-gen PS4 and Xbox One consoles, despite rumours suggesting otherwise. Confusion about a last-gen launch arose when TheGamingRevolution, a COD content creator tweeted out a picture from the Microsoft store, which only showed the Xbox Series S/X logo — unprecedented for the franchise, but makes perfect sense when considering that every major studio is slowly trying to take advantage of the newer consoles' hardware. However, with the game's teaser claiming that both PlayStation generations would be getting a release, it felt unfair to the green team. As it turned out, it was just an error on the Microsoft store, which has since been updated to include Xbox One as well.
