Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes - Definitive Edition

I remember where I was when Blue Dragon was announced. Although I already had an Xbox 360 and was ready for it, some folks I knew bought one just for it given who was involved (Nobuo Uematsu, Hironobu Sakaguchi, Akira Toriyama): as Mistwalker and Microsoft Game Studios made a mad dash to put out more games from Japanese studios on the Xbox ecosystem.

To war, for free this time. Age Of Empires 3: Definitive Edition rolled into battle three years ago to spruce up the real-time strategy classic for modern PCs. Series stewards World’s Edge have now announced a free trial version that allows newbies to jump into the game for as long as they wish, as long as they can handle some restricted content.

EVO 2023 has kicked off today and will continue throughout the weekend. This is the fighting game tournament if you’re unfamiliar with the event. Players gather to attempt to go through matches from a series of popular fighting games. Those games include everything from Guilty Gear Strive, Street Fighter 6, Tekken 7, Dragon Ball FighterZ, to Mortal Kombat 11. That’s just a brief look at some of the video games featured at the tournament. But between the fights, you might spot a reveal. It looks like Ed Boon has something planned for Mortal Kombat fans at this year’s event.

Slowly but surely, Netflix has become a legitimately great destination for amazing anime. Whether it’s the streamer’s incredible back catalogue or the long, long list of varied originals coming your way very soon, there’s always something to watch.

Microsoft has announced a new trial for real-time strategy game Age of Empires 3: Definitive Edition. The new trial allows players to play the game for free in both single-player and multiplayer game modes, with the caveat of the 16 civilizations in the game rotating on a weekly basis.

Hogwarts Legacy has only been out for about half a year, but Avalanche Software may already have a sequel for the RPG game planned. Set in the 1800s, Hogwarts Legacy takes the Wizarding World and its students back in time before the more contemporary setting of the Harry Potter series rolls around. It blends features fans looked forward to seeing in a Harry Potter game, but also lacks some bigger ones such as Quidditch. A job listing posted by Warner Bros. Games could point toward a sequel that has those missing elements, though.

Baldur’s Gate 3 is right around the corner - comes out tomorrow, August 3rd - and everything we’ve learned about the mammoth RPG makes it sounds like an awfully horny romp. Of course, there’s the recently revealed hot villainess that had an entire corner of the internet making the same joke: “I can fix her.” There’s the fact that you can seduce a druid who’s in bear form - as in an actual bear, not the gay slang version of the word. And now, the voice actor behind Baldur’s Gate 3’s narrator has posted several outtakes, giving us gems such as “I’m a bard, I can fuck my way through any problem.” Have a listen here.

Only 5,000 units are available.

We’re just weeks away from Apple introducing the iPhone 15, and the rumor mill is buzzing about what Cupertino might have in store for us this year.

Baldur's Gate 3's early access has been playable on Steam Deck for some time, but players have reported mixed results. While it sounds like it gets the job done, there have been complaints about low framerates, even with graphical settings turned down.

Mortal Kombat fans think that they've spotted a few details in Geras' reveal trailer that point towards Mortal Kombat 1 having a gear customisation system.

The Genshin Impact 4.0 update will be here soon with a whole new cast of Fontaine characters to add to the roster, but the rate of their release may be slower than what we’re used to. If recent leaks are correct, HoYoverse will only be adding one new five-star character banner to the anime game for the majority of the Genshin Impact 4.0 updates.
