After spending hours in Baldur’s Gate 3’s character creation, you finally managed to create your perfect character! That is, until you start playing the game and realize you messed something up, or want to change something. Normally, you wouldn’t be able to change anything, and you’d have to stick with what you made. Luckily, Larian Studios listened to fans, and Baldur’s Gate 3 will finally allow you to change your appearance in Patch 3.

Most of the characters in Mortal Kombat feature control over a certain element or a specific magic type. However, all of them will no doubt be able to deal melee damage when the time comes. And if you know anything about Mortal Kombat, is that the chance of kicking someone in the face comes very often. But what about landing combos? Mortal Kombat 1 emphasizes the need to perform them, so here are the best combos for each character in Mortal Kombat 1.

Party Animals is upon us and is a welcome addition to the multiplayer party genre. The title’s cutesy graphics and gameplay have attracted players in droves. After all, who doesn’t want to beat their animal buddies to a pulp with lollypop? At the time of writing, over 60,000 players are trying to play on Steam alone. Unfortunately, that can cause big problems.

While Mortal Kombat 1 has been populated by a majority of incredible voice performances, many players like to give the voice actors and actresses behind their favorite MK characters some props. To embody a character and give an impeccable performance is more than just doing weird voices and standing in front of a mic. It is to understand a character’s motives, its background, its emotions, and many more. This game is full of stellar performances. For that reason, here is the Mortal Kombat 1 voice cast.

Starfield, Bethesda’s new open-world space RPG has garnered immense praise and positive reviews from both critics and players alike for its detailed stories and impressive scale. Players have enjoyed exploring the expansive universe that Bethesda has crafted, with hidden items and Easter eggs lying around every corner in a chest, dead NPC or just hiding in plain sight. Various players have discovered one bittersweet item, in the form of a note, put in by the developers as a tribute towards a certain gamer, Alex Hay, who had posted on Reddit in early 2023 that he wouldn’t likely be able to play due to his lung cancer and told members of r/Starfield to enjoy the game on his behalf.

That time of year is here once again, it’s time for a new installment of everyone’s favorite yearly footballing game. EA Sports FC 24, previously FIFA, is coming out incredibly soon, and it seemingly can’t come soon enough. The start of each year’s Ultimate Team is particularly fun, having to make-do with cards that you wouldn’t usually use and finding some hidden gems in the early days of the game. While this is all exciting, the wait is almost unbearable, and knowing when you’re going to be able to play the game is important so you know to set a countdown to the day. Here’s when you can play EA Sports FC 24, with Early Access Trial, Ultimate Edition and Standard Edition dates.

It’s been around a month and a half since Titans released into the world of Hearthstone, creating a seismic impact that shook up both the Standard and Wild formats. Players have been enjoying the new cards, the titular Titans in particular, since then, and now a new Mini Set is just around the corner, ready to shake things up all over again. Just when is Hearthstone’s Fall of Ulduar Mini Set coming out? You’ll find the answer to that question, and much more, below.

Payday 3 is gearing up to be the biggest entry in the series. By expanding on the pillars the previous games perfected, the third game should not be missed. However, as is the case with many modern-day games, Payday 3 is already being hit with issues — specifically on the PlayStation 5. Many players are reporting they can’t get into the heist shooter. Developers Starbreeze have pointed their fingers at Sony for stating the issue is “out of their control”. This doesn’t bode well if you’re planning on getting into Payday 3 early on your PlayStation 5.

Fans of the original Resident Evil 4 should be pleased to know that Capcom is releasing the beloved Ada-focused DLC Separate Ways in the same remake fashion. Releasing on September 21, you get to experience Ada’s side of the story through her unique perspective. In new footage for the Resident Evil 4 remake Separate Ways DLC, Ada Wong is back in action with new move sets and abilities.

Genshin Impact Version 4.0 is coming to a wrap, and as always, a new major content update is on the horizon. The Genshin Impact Version 4.1 livestream premiered today, revealing all of the new features we can expect in the upcoming update. Players can expect to experience the game’s third anniversary, including special rewards and a new playable area to explore in Fontaine. But more importantly, players can expect to spend more of their hard-earned Primogems on two new 5-star characters: Wriothesley and Neuvilette.

Many people are reporting a Starfield Eye of the Storm bug that locks them on Kryx’s Legacy ship for hours without the ability to progress. After reading Reddit threads and Steam community forums, I’ve figured out how to fix the Eye of the Storm bug in Starfield. Let’s get into it.

With the game releasing just a bit over a month from now, Spider-Man 2 Digital Deluxe Edition comes with some aesthetic bangers. While the suit doesn’t make the spider, to be honest, no one would follow a web-swinging guy dressed up in shorts and a t-shirt stained with nacho cheese. Well, I’m projecting, let’s get back on track. Now that we can pre-order the game, there are also some extra benefits that our friendly neighborhood Spider-Men – there are two this time around – will be very happy to gift to us.

While I love Spider-Man just as much as the next guy, I felt underwhelmed by Marvel’s Spider-Man 1. However, after watching the latest PlayStation State of Play, I’m impressed and excited to experience Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 looks to add a lot of Batman Arkham City features into the game and utilize the power of the PlayStation 5 which I think will improve it greatly. Here are the six things I think will make Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 even better than Marvel’s Spider-Man 1.

If you’re a Final Fantasy fan, there’s so much going on in the world of the games. Both for new and old games. Also, for newcomers to the series, now may be the best time to join the long-running franchise. Fresh off the heels of the successful Final Fantasy 7: Remake, Square Enix will continue the Clouds and company adventure in Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth. The next chapter in Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth teases quite a bit, such as minigames, boss battles, and more! It’ll have a lot of the same features as the first installment that dropped in 2020. If you plan on continuing your journey as a seasoned or new fan, we have all the details below for the next chapter.

The latest PlayStation State of Play gave us another look at Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, set to be released on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox consoles on December 7, 2023. This time, we got to see a sneak peek at our Na’vi protagonist, who was abducted by the RDA and secluded from her world. Now, it is time to reconnect with her roots and learn the ways of the Na’vi.

Looks like PlayStation 5  fans can finally jump into the world of Roblox and be a part of this ever-changing landscape. Roblox has been a juggernaut in the gaming world so it makes sense for the console maker to be a part of the trend. With a large player base that makes up the PlayStation 5, Roblox has the potential to become even larger. While Roblox has a deal with Facebook’s parent company Meta to have a VR port on their platform, this inclusion just makes it better for the game. 

At today’s surprisingly brief State of Play online event, Sony revealed a diminutive slate of titles that are sure to please gamers in coming months. Bandai Namco showed off Tales of Arise: Beyond the Dawn, a direct follow-up to 2021’s Tales of Arise that is due to arrive later this year.

Finally, the Resident Evil 4 fans can enjoy the remake even more! In the latest PlayStation State of Play, Capcom announced Separate Ways for Resident Evil 4 remake, which is an Ada focused DLC. This is the remake of the DLC that released for the original Resident Evil 4 back in 2005.

Today’s Nintendo Direct featured a surprise announcement in the form of a collection of the first three Tomb Raider games titled Tomb Raider I-III Remastered Starring Lara Croft. Although this title is a bit of a mouthful, it suggests exactly what you’d think it does. The collection spruces up the original games with new HD visuals, although not to the degree where it strays too far from what those titles aimed to achieve. Developed and published by Aspyr, the collection will drop on both consoles and Steam come February 14 of next year.

Amid today’s Nintendo Direct came a pleasant surprise for fans of a certain dormant racing series. This surprise arrived in the form of F-Zero 99, a new battle royale take on the original SNES F-Zero that follows in the footsteps of Tetris 99 and other games with the “99” moniker. Notably, this serves as the first new F-Zero release to come in almost 19 years, albeit not in the form of a fully-fledged follow-up like what fans hoped to see. Still, an F-Zero game is an F-Zero game, and fortunately, those interested in giving F-Zero 99 a whirl can do so as soon as today if they have a Nintendo Switch Online membership.

In the latest Nintendo Direct on September 14, Nintendo announced a recently-teased Mario game — this time, a Princess Peach-focused game. Princess Peach Showtime features fun transformations that change how Peach looks and plays, with a release date announcement revealed. Peach has her own exciting adventure as she saves a theater production.

Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD, a port of Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon, is coming to Nintendo Switch! While this isn’t a full remaster, it is an HD port that we’re very excited to get.

If you were wondering whether Nintendo was going through a nostalgia trip, then this brand-new Nintendo Direct just confirmed it. Nintendo unveiled the arrival of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door with enhanced graphics to the Nintendo Switch in 2024. Not only are we getting a Super Mario RPG and a Mario vs. Donkey Kong game, but now we travel down memory lane to the times of the GameCube and experience what is arguably the best Paper Mario game on the go.

The Teal Mask is full of Pokemon with unique and bizarre evolution requirements. I love trying to figure these out for myself, but some tiptoe the line between inspired and obtuse. Basculegion is one such Pokemon, and the evolution conditions are so strange that it’s unlikely to be discovered without help. Even finding a Basculin in the first place is no mean feat. With this in mind, let me show you how to get Basculegion in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet – Teal Mask.

The release of DLC for almost any given game usually coincides with a patch that implements bug fixes and other improvements big and small. Naturally, today’s release of The Teal Mask DLC expansion for Pokemon Scarlet & Violet serves as no exception. Specifically, it came alongside the Version 2.0.1 patch that aims to improve the experience just that little bit more. And arguably the most significant fix that the patch introduces to Pokemon Scarlet & Violet comes in the form of loading time optimizations when scrolling through the PC boxes where you can store your Pokemon.

Genshin Impact has a great collection of characters to pull for and use in your teams. Hu Tao is a fiery-spirited character with a devilish streak. With the power of the ghosts, Hu Tao saps some of her own HP to deal immense damage. Hu Tao is about spooking foes, infusing her attacks with Pyro energy, while her Elemental Burst is a nuke that refills some of her HP. As such, Hu Tao is a main DPS character who will stay on-field and deal most of the damage on a team. Here’s our guide on some of the best team comps for Hu Tao in Genshin Impact.

Starfield gives its players a lot of stealth tools and one player has used them all to make the game play like Dishonored. By combining the best powers, weapons, skills, and armor, this player has made Starfield look like Dishonored in space.

Have you ever known a Bethesda game to not have funny NPCs? Both the Fallout and Elder Scrolls series are known for bugs, glitches, and ridiculous AI. This is all said out of love, as every other aspect of its games trumps the silly situations you can run into. Starfield, Bethesda’s newest IP, is also no stranger to the Bethesda effect. Players have been sharing instances online where Starfield NPCs are hilariously ruining romantic proposals with awkward animations.

There are a ton of things for you to do in Starfield, most of which don’t have much to do with the story. In the spirit of creating your adventure, Bethesda Softworks has made the game as immersive as possible, and this by letting you do most things you can think of…well most things. Much like Skyrim or even the older Morrowind, you can do some whacky and downright funny things such as putting a bucket on an NPC. However, the following is a little more intense and more brutal. The best part is that you might not get in trouble for it. The following PSA is that there is a way to knock out and kill NPCs in Starfield with a box — legally speaking. If you want to know how to do such a thing, follow along.

Starfield is one of 2023’s biggest game launches, so the level of scrutiny for its technical performance on PC has been nothing short of high. While the game runs relatively smooth, it’s common knowledge that it performs worse than expected when it comes to delivering high framerates. Player outcry has been immense in response to the performance issues, so Bethesda has finally caved and will officially add Nvidia DLSS support to Starfield in a coming update.

The Teal Mask is the first of two expansions coming to  Pokemon Scarlet and Violet and takes place immediately after the main story. As you’re already meant to be a pro Trainer by the time you tackle the Teal Mask DLC, the level of your Pokemon matters. What’s the Recommended Level to Play  Pokemon Scarlet and Violet  DLC  The Teal Mask ? This is a tricky question to answer, and let me explain why.

It’s no secret that Starfield requires a powerful gaming PC. Even if you have the latest generation hardware and the best graphics settings, the game will still crush your framerate. PC optimizations are on the way at last though for Nvidia users, because the latest game drivers improve Starfield performance by a small margin on systems that support Resizable BAR.

Genshin Impact’s soundtrack is huge, with a shocking number of tunes that span across the game’s current five regions. Battle themes, town themes, and even character themes, every Genshin Impact player probably has a favorite track of theirs they can hum on command. Many of these iconic themes were composed by Yu-Peng Chen, a composer for Genshin Impact, who unfortunately announced plans to leave HoYoverse and pursue other endeavors.

If you feel like Cyberpunk 2077 is releasing all over again, you’re not alone. There’s a lot of hype building for the release of the Phantom Liberty expansion thanks to all of the post-launch updates and graphics improvements that already put the game in a much better state. However, a recent tweet about increased CPU usage by a lead dev working on the Phantom Liberty update has some players worried about Cyberpunk 2077 PC requirements yet again.

The release date for Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty is exactly two weeks away now, so it’s about time for another Night City Wire episode. Tune in on Thursday, September 14 at 11 AM ET for the next Night City Wire and see the most in-depth look yet for the Phantom Liberty expansion as well as what’s new in the base game of Cyberpunk 2077 with the 2.0 update.

Starfield is a Bethesda game so it’s going to include lock picking, but players in Starfield are learning really quickly that master locks aren’t worth it.

Overwatch lore has always been a contested issue amongst fans. While Overwatch is primarily a PvP title, fans have become enamored with the story of the game’s world. There’d be no other reason for the passionate response behind the game’s decisions behind its PvE mode. But lately, Overwatch lore has felt more like an afterthought, especially considering how the new ages given out to all the Overwatch heroes just don’t make any sense. Don’t take it from me, take it from the fans.

After finding out that Starfield completely omits any ground-based vehicles for your avatar to ride on, many players have wondered exactly why Bethesda made this design decision. Fortunately for those players, Bethesda executive producer and Starfield director Todd Howard recently addressed the matter in an interview with Bloomberg. You can find the interview posted further down this article, where you can skip to 3:00 to hear Howard’s response.

When exploring the seemingly countless planets in Starfield, you have the ability to scan whatever flora, fauna, and minerals you happen to come across. Normally, in games that let you do this such as the Metroid Prime trilogy, you need to perform the scan before you defeat the enemy or collect the object you’re scanning. Oftentimes, it can become a challenge in and of itself to remember to do this, particularly in the case of enemies that can often attack and interrupt you while you attempt to scan them. Naturally, many have assumed that scanning in Starfield works the same way, especially since the game allows you to scan manually with the press of a button.

Instead of using a glitch or bug, this Starfield player has found a clever way to steal lots of money using the game’s mechanics. Specifically, this dirty thieving rat (which we all are deep down inside) used physics to scoop up tons of credits, take them to a dark corner, and steal them all without getting caught.

PC and PlayStation gamers have had some time with the critically-acclaimed Baldur’s Gate 3. Soon enough, Xbox gamers will join the party. In an exclusive interview through IGN with the Larian Studios director, the Baldur’s Gate 3 release on Xbox was confirmed to be between September and October 2023. Now the developers are in the final stages of optimization, and the release date for the Xbox version is imminent.

Starfield has been officially out for less than 24 hours and one diehard Starfield fan has already spent 50 hours creating a LEGO New Atlantis, and it looks incredible. Honestly, this New Atlantis build looks like an official Starfield set released by LEGO themselves (and now I’m crossing my fingers for official LEGO Starfield sets).

There are a lot of positive and negative reviews and opinions of Starfield being tossed about but David Jaffe, an ex-PlayStation-exclusive developer who created the original God of War and Twisted Metal says that Starfield is “easily one of (his) top three games of all time.” That’s really high praise coming from someone who has made great games and has likely played a lot of great games. He goes even further by trying to stomp out the unquenchable flames of the console war.

 The most common complaints about Diablo 4 often cite a lack of things to do in the endgame as a chief concern. In theory, seasonal content should fix that, but as evident with The Season of the Malignant, many feel that’s not the case. In an interview with Dexerto, GM Rob Fergusson outlined plans for Diablo 4 moving forward, including yearly Expansions.

Pokemon  from the Paldea region are making their debut in  Pokemon GO,  giving Trainers a host of new creatures to fill their Pokedexes. With the introduction of Gen 9  Pokemon,  we also get a new questline called A Paldean Adventure. Early on, the quest splits into three paths, and it’s only natural that we all want to pick the best one. Let me try and answer the question, “Which path should I choose in Pokemon GO: A Paldean Adventure?”

With the Scarlet and Violet expansion on the horizon, it seems that Game Freak is determined to give the title a big send-off. 7 Star Raids are limited-time events that offer the most challenging content in the game. Only the most hardcore Pokemon Trainers stand a chance of beating these Raids, and that’s never been more true than with the Mewtwo Raid. I can’t sugarcoat it; this fight is borderline unfair! Consider yourself warned, and let me show you how to beat the Mewtwo Tera Raid in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.

It’s only natural to want the best starting weapons, armor, and ship when starting Starfield. Luckily, if you play through this specific side mission early, you’ll walk away with weapons, armor, and a ship that you don’t need to upgrade for a while because they are that good. Here is the best way to get the best early weapons, armor, and ships in Starfield.

Armored Core 6 is a game that lets you customize your mech in any way that you see fit. Whether you want to be rocking something from Gundam in-terms of color scheme, look, and even weapon-type, or simply want to look cool while being the coolest pilot on Rubicon. You can truly make the mech of your dreams in Armored Core 6. Helping this to come to fruition there are a lot of pieces to buy and get to use on your mech in Armored Core 6, with some of these being hidden away in levels for you to find. One of these is the Moonlight Sword, which is a weapon that’s a FromSoftware staple. Here’s our guide on how to get the Moonlight Sword in Armored Core 6.

Roblox Adopt Me, the popular MMO game by Uplift Games, has just revealed the latest update, and with it, players will now be able to get their hands on the new Urban Egg pets. 

Honkai Star Rail is one of the most popular gacha games out there currently, with a growing roster of characters that you can recruit for your teams. One standout feature of Honkai Star Rail (and its sister gacha game, Genshin Impact) is its pity system, which allows you to guarantee a 5-star character after a certain number of pulls. With careful planning, you can ensure you earn the 5-star character of your dreams. Fortunately, HoYoverse has provided a method that allows you to calculate what your current pity is. Here’s how to check your pity in Honkai Star Rail.

Honkai Star Rail released its latest major content update on August 29, introducing the newest playable character Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae, while also introducing a number of quality-of-life updates, such as an increased Trailblaze Power cap and changes to the Simulated Universe. However, players have noticed a lack of new concrete features in this new update, and have taken to social media to criticize the latest update and its lack of content.

Relics are a fantastic accessibility feature in Sea of Stars, allowing players to tailor the experience to their liking. Customization features like this are a welcome addition to a rather challenging turn-based RPG. The stigma around games like these is they are outdated or old-fashioned. Features like this prove otherwise. There’s more to these items than meets the eye, so let me show you where to find and how to use all relics in Sea of Stars.

Emil Pagliarulo, the lead designer of Bethesda’s upcoming mega-RPG Starfield, recently revealed that the developers had a Jesuit priest-in-training advise them when creating the game’s religions. Shane Liesegang, the up-and-coming priest in question, actually served as a former writer for Bethesda who specifically worked on both Skyrim and Fallout 4. That former connection combined with Liesegang’s studies helped the team at Bethesda make one of Starfield’s original religions as authentic and believable as possible.

Since the game’s release, Genshin Impact has been in the spotlight for several bug exploits and new hacks. A new Co-op hack using the four-star Dendro character Kaveh and a third-party plug-in has been making the rounds on the Genshin Impact online forums over the last several days.

Genshin Impact gamers were left stunned after hearing reports of a gamebreaking, yet undeniably amusing hack involving Kaveh that allowed players to delete in-game objects and bosses from the game. And by deleting, we mean deleting. Kaveh, a beloved Dendro character renowned for his goofiness and bumbling personality, was turned into a horrifying villain in-game as he was able to wipe away certain features of the game permanently in co-op mode. While no one could expect Kaveh to turn into an asset assassin, HoYoverse has issued a prompt statement and fixed the issue.

Starfield has been in development for ages, but its long journey to retail has nearly reached concluded. With new information available following an exciting Gamescom appearance, prospective players know more than ever about the decisions they will make in the game’s opening moments. Those eager fans can are having more meaningful conversations on impactful topics such as the background they plan to select when creating their character.

Pre-order bonuses are a point of contention among gamers, no matter the title. Ultimately, extras like this feed off players’ ‘FOMO’ as if a product is digital; it’s not like stocks can run out. Bungie has locked the shiny new Tessellation Exotic Fusion Rifle behind a pre-order of the Final Shape DLC for Destiny 2. Unfortunately for Bungie, Guardians are a clever bunch and have found a way to get around the DLC down payment. Here’s the scoop.

Starfield is Bethesda’s latest single-player title, this time set in outer space. It’s releasing on both Xbox Series X|S and PC, leading players to ask a common question. What if you wanted to play Starfield on your PC, or even your Steam Deck, with the hopes of also playing it on Xbox? We’ve explained whether Starfield is cross-platform, and if it supports cross-save and crossplay between platforms.

Blasphemous 2 is packed with interesting sidequests, but one of the most notable is the saga of Trifón and Cástula, the two sinister siblings found casually eating their dinner in the heart of the monster-infested Palace of the Embroideries. Both will reward you with a useful Remembrance item in return for an artifact related to their sibling, either the Scroll of the Elder or the Cloth of the Old Woman, and in this guide we’ll show you where you can find both of them in Blasphemous 2.

Baldur’s Gate 3 has been available for a few weeks now, following its exit from Early Access. An official release has prompted new players to dive deep into the sprawling campaign and the expanded content it now offers. This influx of players has generated new issues for patches to fix.

With Starfield nearly upon us, Bethesda has shifted its promotional efforts into high gear. As usual, that means giveaways, gameplay trailers, and interviews with the media. The effort also has led to cool swag for some of the game’s most dedicated fans. If you play your cards right, you might win a Starfield watch for yourself in a new Bethesda giveaway.

The moment you start Armored Core 6, you’ll launch into your first real mission. While this mission does a good job of teaching you the ropes, you really shouldn’t skip the Training missions found in the garage. And here’s why.

The Season of the Witch is upon us in Destiny 2. The new season comes fresh off the heels of the Destiny Showcase event, which has the community happier than they have been in a long time. Unfortunately, the Season of the Witch also brought a new unintended threat with it. It’s not the Witness or a Hive bigshot. It’s the Warlock’s Strand Aspect.

Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 4 Last Resort is now imminent, and the cinematic trailer just dropped from Epic to tease what’s new. It includes a look at new locations, characters and crossovers, new weapons and items, and the continuing story.

With Gamescom currently unfolding in Cologne, Germany, anxious fans are finally getting more news about one of the year’s most anticipated games. Microsoft and Bethesda are ready to talk about Starfield, and they’ve brought footage. There’s a lot to wade through in search of the best information. Some of the most intriguing news has come from off-the-cuff interviews. To no one’s surprise, Microsoft executive Phil Spencer has been one of the loudest voices.

Starfield is one of the year’s most eagerly anticipated titles, with launches scheduled in late August and early September, depending on which version fans decide to purchase. The hype is steadily building, and the Gamescom event in Cologne, Germany has provided the perfect opportunity for Bethesda to show new footage of the game in action, as well as to answer some lingering questions before fans get their hands on it. One recurring question is just how big the game actually is.

If you’ve been playing Texas Chain Saw Massacre and noticed a strange glitch, you’re not alone. Many players have witnessed their XP and Skill points earned from matches not actually appearing on their account. Now that players are talking about the issue more, the developer Sumo Digital has spoken up. It seems as though the XP and Skill point glitch in Texas Chain Saw Massacre has a fix in the works.

Let’s be honest, we all marveled at the opening scene of the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners anime during which the cyber psycho demonstrated superhuman killing prowess thanks to a overabundance of cybernetic enhancements. This is exactly the vibe the latest gameplay trailer for Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty gave off with its over-the-top display of reworked abilities and weaponry.

Diablo 4 fans don’t have to wait too long until Season 2 releases in October. Luckily, at Gamescom 2023, Blizzard announced that vampiric powers are coming to Diablo 4 Season of Blood. The second Season of the beloved action RPG will introduce vampires and vampire hunters. Although it was a short trailer, we got a decent glimpse of what the new questline will center around.

During today’s Opening Night Live show at gamescom 2023, Tekken series producer Katsuhiro Harada showcased a brand-new trailer for Tekken 8. Unlike the past several trailers, which tended to focus on a single character, this one unveils a whole slew of veteran fighters at once as well as a new single-player mode for fans and newcomers to enjoy. We also now finally know Tekken 8’s release date, which is January 26 of next year.

Gamescom promised two hours of game announcements and updates to upcoming games. One exciting announcement was a pretty gruesome trailer for Killing Floor 3 that Tripwire Interactive revealed at Gamescom 2023. This is the third installment to its survival horror first-person shooter franchise. It’s been around seven years since the last Killing Floor, and fans of the franchise will be happy to know Killing Floor 3 is coming in the near future.

It says a lot about the games industry when charitable gestures by developers are met with suspicion and skepticism. Many gamers have grown wary of predatory business practices. It’s got so bad that when a game like Holocure releases completely free, it raises a few eyebrows. Kay, the solo developer of the title, has taken to Steam to set the record straight.

Nvidia just published a press release regarding upcoming software features and improvements for its ray tracing, Super Resolution, and Frame Generation technologies for popular PC games this fall. An interesting takeaway from Nvidia was the mention of upcoming DLSS 3 support for Fortnite and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Remastered. This news will undoubtedly stir up significant debate between competitive players and more casual audiences regarding whether or not to use the feature.

Holocure  seemingly came out of nowhere and is a superb free title that shares many similarities with the ever-popular  Vampire Survivors . One prominent feature shared by both titles is the ability to combine items to make something much more powerful. If you’re familiar with  Vampire Survivor ‘s Evo system, you know how  Holocure ‘s Collabs work. The hard part is figuring out what items go together, and that’s where this guide comes in. Here’s the full list of Collabs and Super Collabs in Holocure.

Select media and influencers had the chance to attend a preview event this last weekend showcasing a gameplay demo for Black Myth: Wukong. We’ve known about this next-gen Souls-like for years now thanks to a slow rollout of trailers over the years. Now it’s in the latter stages of development and should release in summer 2024 according to the latest details.

Diablo 4 has had a rocky start with its premiere Season, the Season of the Malignant. Unpopular balance changes prompted an emergency “Campfire Chat” with the developers. Although this quelled many of the community’s frustrations, there’s still more to be done. Thanks to several accounts on Social Media, we have an idea of what’s coming next.

Starfield is shaping up to be one of the year’s biggest games, in more ways than one. With this year’s Gamescom event nearly upon us, Microsoft has begun rolling out some of its more ambitious promotional efforts. They include a special vehicle that wouldn’t look entirely out of place in that game’s world.

Even the most avid fan can’t deny that Overwatch 2 is in an odd place right now. Whether you’re happy with the gameplay or not, optics surrounding the title are at an all-time low. At the time of writing, Overwatch 2 is the lowest-rated game on Steam, an unthinkable achievement for such a well-known franchise. It appears that the higher-ups at Blizzard have noticed, and their response? Well, it’s something.

Runes are a precious resource in Elden Ring, and you never know when a rogue boulder is around the corner to pilfer them from you. To ensure you’re spending Runes and leveling up your character as efficiently as possible, we’ve detailed everything you need to know about Elden Ring’s Attribute soft caps in this guide. 

The Rising Event in FFXIV goes live on 27 August and is up until the launch of Patch 6.5. Square Enix has not provided an exact date for this Patch at the time of writing. These events are usually pretty straightforward and consist of a handful of short quests. By the end, players are awarded several unique rewards, so they are always worth your time. Square Enix has just revealed what players can earn from the upcoming event:
