Billie Eilish is the latest music artist to join Fortnite as part of Season 3 of its Fortnite Festival, a Rock Band style music game mode. Previous Fortnite Festival artists include,  Lady Gaga, The Weeknd, and Ariana Grande.

got a mixed reception from fans. The MCU sequel extended the wacky and comedic tone of Thor: Ragnarok further. However, in a recent interview, actor Chris Hemsworth expressed some regret over this direction for the movie and talked about where he feels the project went wrong.

Formerly known as Cat Quest: Pirates of the Purribean, but now renamed Cat Quest 3, the third game in developer The Gentlebros' charming series is sailing to PS5 and PS4 on the 8th August. The title also has a new trailer that's stuffed with fresh gameplay footage — and if, like us, you're a fan of the first two games, then you'll likely think it looks fangtastic.

All you daredevils, listen up! When Afterimage came out, it was a massive hit with PC and console players, now it’s finally available on Android! Engardin is a vast, linked world that you can explore. In this colossal metroidvania, you can discover its secrets, fight scary enemies, and pick your way. 

Mama, I’m in love with a criminal! Cybird has just released Ikémen Villains: Wrapped in Wicked Romance, the latest installment in their popular series. This time, you won’t be wooing charming princes or valiant warriors. Ikémen Villains is a new fluffy love story with a dark side. This time, you can date the bad guys!

We really liked Dragon’s Dogma 2 in our review, describing it as the “apex of RPG adventuring”. But it appears the enthusiasm has not quite infected everyone yet, as the title’s community is surprisingly divided right now. Obviously, performance issues and those launch day microtransactions aren’t exactly aiding the discourse, but for some eager fans, the issues run deeper.

The latest developments in the melonDS Android Nightly Build have brought about improvements, ensuring a smoother and more enjoyable gaming experience for users. The melonDS team has been updating their popular Nintendo DS emulator for Android! This latest batch brings a mix of bug fixes and new features that should keep DS gamers happy.

The next Limbus Company story chapter, Canto VI: The Heartbreaking, is on the horizon. While details are still under wraps, fans are speculating. All this started with a post on Reddit breaking down the teaser!

Now available at a discounted price is the much-loved independent video game Machinarium. There is a limited time offer where you can get this peculiar experience for just $1.99, which is a discount of more than 70 percent off the regular price which is $6.99.

Tom Clancy’s The Division Resurgence by Ubisoft has delayed its launch yet once again. The third-person shooter was supposed to roll out later this month, but that’s not happening now. The launch date has now been pushed to December 2024. I know, it’s quite a drag!

If you’re into idle city-building games, then you must have played Paragon Pioneers at least once. The game’s solo indie developer Tobias Arlt is set to drop its sequel, Paragon Pioneers 2, soon. Hitting Android, iOS and PCs, it’s expected to launch on March 11th and is priced at $5.99.

Combining elements in allows you to create practically everything you can think of, including an element named after Taylor Swift. The star singer-songwriter is just one of many famous elements, as features a long list of big names that players can make, including presidents, film stars, and musicians. With Taylor Swift, players can start crafting new elements referencing her albums and songs.

Helldivers 2 sales keep on ticking up more than three weeks after launch, and even some industry analysts are dumbfounded.

Sony’s baffling Spider-Man Universe movie Madame Web leaves a lot of questions behind, some of them entirely practical (are we ever going to see all these young heroes actually gain their powers and… become heroes?) and some of them much more the kind of fandom debate-squad fodder beloved on Reddit. (Will there ever be a Spider-Man in this particular wing of the multiverse, or will Cassandra save Adam Scott’s Uncle Ben from being senselessly murdered, since he’s basically family?)

In a special Valentine's Day edition of Building Azeroth, Cinematic Narrative Director Terran Gregory and Real-Time Content Cinematic Director Sarah Delahanty detail the technical challenges of portraying the first on-screen kiss in Warcraft history! As part of the Dragonflight story epilogue in Patch 10.2.5, we saw the highly anticipated return of Malfurion Stormrage, reuniting with his long-time love Tyrande Whisperwind and adopted daughter Shandris Feathermoon in their new home at the foot of Amirdrassil. For the first time in Warcraft history, the homecoming is punctuated by an on-screen kiss between reunited lovers. Portraying this embrace in-game is more technically challenging than the simplicity of the act itself, however.

It's common to have a checklist in the quest for finding love. People set all sorts of criteria, both in their minds and explicitly in their online dating profiles, specifying what sort of mate or lifestyle they're seeking. If you can't imagine a life without your dog or cat, screen for pet lovers. If having kids is a deal breaker for you, then toss that into the mix. And as marketers remind us every Valentine's Day, entire dating apps exist to cull potential prospects based on age, political views, religion, occupation and even height.

February 15 should be a big day for Xbox fans, but whether it's an exciting event might come down to more of a person-to-person basis. Xbox has recently been the center of swirling rumors and reported leaks, all centering around a purported big shift in Microsoft's approach to the gaming industry. For anyone invested in the ecosystem, the kind of uncertainty generated by widespread speculation and unconfirmed news can be a bit nerve-wracking, which is why the clarification that an official Microsoft response could be particularly welcome.

Naughty Dog fans have been sitting around since the fateful release of The Last of Us Part 2 on the 19th of January 2020 to see if the ingenious game development studio would be bringing out a sequel for one of the most beloved game franchises of the last 20 years, The Last of Us. While those hoping for a sequel are still left with questions, fans are elated to have received a remastered version of The Last of Us Part 2 for the PlayStation 5, but is the upgrade worth it?

When Universal Pictures acquired the rights to Lego in 2020, the logical assumption was that another sequel to or reboot of The Lego Movie might be in the works. The Lego Movie and The Lego Batman Movie were big hits for Warner Bros. Pictures, and with unlimited brick-building possibilities, the IP was a potential goldmine if a studio could crack the code again. But the first project to come out of the deal won’t resemble anything like the animated movies of the past. It may not resemble any movie at all.

Are you tired of long-running live service games with no end in sight? Well, Bushiroad’s Love Live! School Idol Festival 2 MIRACLE LIVE! isn’t just getting a global launch date; it’s also getting a global closure date, at the same time.

This news is a bit of a bummer but quite amusing at the same time! Bushiroad and KLab Games dropped one-of-a-kind news, the global launch date of Love Live! School Idol Festival 2 along with its end of service date. Probably the first time in the history of video games ever, the announcements of the launch of a title and its EOS have been dropped together.

Another Code: Recollection is the new Switch remake of the Nintendo-published DS and Wii cult-classic story-driven adventure games Another Code: Two Memories (known as Trace Memory in North America) and Another Code: R – A Journey into Lost Memories. Beyond the expected visual updates, Another Code: Recollection also completely remixes the games’ puzzles, meaning even those familiar with the originals will find themselves on new ground.

Blade is back! And this time, the Marvel vampire killer won't be reduced to a lacklustre tie-in game with a movie release or simply used as a supporting character.

Here’s a number for you: this year, I reviewed 69 games for Destructoid. Nice. It wasn’t intentional, but it almost was. I thought I was at 68, so I was trying to figure out how to fit one more in. But it turns out that OpenCritic is missing one, and poorer for it.

Originally released on December 4, 1998 in Japan, Getter Love: Cho Renai Party Game (mystifyingly subtitled Panda Love Unit on the title screen) has finally been localized for fans.

There's plenty of sass to be had in . Its characters always have something to say, and more often than not, that something is a cheeky one-liner or a snide snipe. Whether they're putting down an omnipotent boss, critiquing one of Tav's decisions, or simply making a flippant remark, almost every character in has a potentially smart mouth — the only difference is how often they choose to open it.

For better or worse, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has changed how blockbuster movies are constructed, planned, and made. Fifteen years of billion-dollar successes and lukewarm swing-and-misses have also changed how MCU movies themselves are planned and made: These days, it feels like there’s a particular tension between “Everything must be a saga” thinking and “Maybe these movies should stand alone better?” revisionism. As box-office-defining surefire hits have given way to rushed, muddled movies, and Marvel has expanded into a messy multiverse saga with near-infinite spin-off potential, the franchise’s future is both meticulously mapped out and constantly in flux.

Fans watching are intrigued about what happened with on the show. Has she left this season already? Here’s all you need to know.

Recent Call of Duty titles have included hundreds of levels to grind for, with some incredible rewards every 100 levels or so. However, Call of Duty: MW3’s Royalty Tiger Camo is, in some ways, better than anything that’s come before and so much worse.

has strong representation of key fantasy races from overall, but one missing race could add a lot to the game. The roster of races available in character creation is lifted straight from the for the fifth edition of the tabletop game, with a couple of interesting additions to flesh out the roster in a way that's relevant to the story and flavor of the game. Other interesting races that aren't typically playable appear in NPC form, from the memorably devious kobolds to the mindflayers that play a major role in the narrative.

Goth fashion isn’t new, but fashion associated with the vampire scene has seen a resurgence as the vampire has once again grown in popularity through the success of the 2022 adaptation of Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire, as well as the Castlevania franchise seeing a resurgence with its Netflix series. Once again, the vampire has permeated the mainstream, sinking its fangs into an entirely new generation, coupled with an interest in historical fashion and what this timeless creature has come to represent. In the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, sometime in 2021, while cleaning out my wardrobe, I decided to dress like I could fit into one of Koji Igarashi’s Castlevania games.

The final Beatles recording is here.

It’s not an official theme or anything, but this week’s TV is all about fighting. There’s the two sides of superhero coming-of-age stories on Prime Video alone: the season finale of Gen V and the season premiere of Invincible. Over on Netflix there’s Blue Eye Samurai, a new show about one woman’s quest for revenge in Edo-era Japan, while on Paramount Plus the new Taylor Sheridan-produced show about Bass Reeves (David Oyelowo) is sure to bring on some Wild West violence. Throw in Love Island Games, and it seems like no matter which platform you turn to, you’re gonna get some clashes.

Amazon Prime’s series adaptation of Bethesda’s Fallout franchise now has a release date: April 12, 2024. The announcement was made via Prime Video’s Twitter account in celebration of Fallout Day (the day the bombs fell in the original Fallout game).

Cinema’s screenlife subgenre, where the events of a movie largely take place online, and the story plays out on a computer, tablet, or smartphone screen, has become an emerging method to depict the unique anxieties of modern life. The format — something of a descendent of and replacement for the found-footage fad — is especially well-suited to thrillers and horror stories, as seen in 2023’s great mystery Missing, a follow-up to 2018’s Searching.

I am absolutely loving Forza Motorsport. I have been working my way toward getting all the achievements and testing it out to see how different it is from Gran Turismo 7, which I played a decent amount last year and in the run-up to Forza Motorsport’s launch. I’ll say it right now – I freaking love Forza. But I am just a novice in the sim racing community. I’m proud of my one-minute 39-second lap on Maple Valley, even though it’s nowhere close to what the pros are clocking, but I have the sim racing bug and I cannot stop playing.

If you've been hankering for a Lovecraftian game that avoids open depictions of literal tentacle monsters, Forgive Me Father 2 probably isn't one for you. If, on the other hand, you'd like to run around a rancid Victorian asylum, listening out for monster growls, dodging big glowy projectiles and firing a shotgun like The DOOM that Came To Sarnath, this could be your cup of Nyarlathotep offal.

As of update 1.5 for, there are 25 Secret Notes, collectibles that can give you directions to secret locations, gifts certain characters would Love, or solutions to puzzles. To start finding Secret Notes in, you need to obtain a Magnifying Glass, which can only be done during certain times of day during the winter. Then, you will be able to find various notes from cutting weeds, defeating monsters, and a variety of other tasks.

Even with Netflix’s recommendation algorithm serving you new movies, new TV shows, and original programming tailored to your viewing habits, the streaming service’s firehose of content makes what’s coming and going difficult to parse.

Starfield has a pretty decent range of clothing for all you fashionistas out there, but every now and then you'll spot an NPC wearing a particularly attractive suit or outfit that puts your own threads to shame. If you were playing Skyrim, you could simply get into your best sneaking position and attempt to undress the person where they stand, but Starfield has no feature that allows you to swipe the clothes that NPCs are wearing. Even murdering them doesn't let you take the clothes off their body.

Cyberpunk 2077's latest version 2.0 update adds two new arcade machines, joining Roach Race added last year. Now, we can also play through Trauma Drama, as well as Arasaka Tower 3D - a boomer shooter very clearly inspired by Doom.

Cyberpunk 2077's latest huge overhaul has led to another player spike, and it's enough to compete with new releases. Cyberpunk is now just behind Starfield on the Steam charts and was even briefly ahead of it earlier today.

It’s hard to believe that we’re approaching the release date for Starfield. The video game was first introduced years ago, prior to the eventual acquisition of Microsoft. Now that Bethesda is under the control of Xbox, fans who have been waiting on the release of Starfield will need to enjoy this game on the PC or Xbox Series X/S platforms. But with a massive game, it wouldn’t be too long before leaks started to hit the web. One of the more recent leaks is based on Neon city.

The very well-regarded puzzle game Patrick's Parabox will be making its way to PS5 next week on 26 July 2023.

Check out the trailer above to see the concept in action.
