According to a Sony insider, story DLC for Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End will star Nathan Drake’s brother Sam, and it will be revealed at the PlayStation Experience. Before the critically-acclaimed Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End was released to the masses, Naughty Dog has been talking about story DLC for the game in the vein of the Left Behind expansion that was released for The Last of Us. Now that Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End has been out for over six months, it seems like Naughty Dog is finally ready to pull the curtain back on the DLC, and if recent rumors are any indication, it may feature Nathan Drake’s brother Sam in the starring role....

2018 was a great year for gaming, delivering the likes of God of War, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate to critical and commercial success. When it comes to Steam-based PC games, though, one game dominated the fan vote like no other: Rimworld. The sci-fi colony simulator was top of the Steam250 list with a highly favorable 8.66/10 average vote, edging out the competition to give Rimworld a nice spot in gaming history....

The Plains Biome is currently the fifth and final Biome players will enter in Valheim. Therefore, the Plains Biome is currently the most dangerous Biome in the game. Gamers will need a proper strategy before attempting to survive in the treacherous Plains. Before progressing to this step, players should try their luck in the other Biomes first. In any new Biome, preparation is key. To survive, players will first need to create a protected base with an enclosed farm....

The video game industry can sometimes be a cutthroat one for those working within it. Bungie’s in-house composer Marty O’Donnell had his contact with the developer terminated abruptly, prompting the former Destiny composer to pursue legal action and gaining entitlement to $142,000. Indeed, the history of video games is littered with important lawsuits, with battles over everything from the similarities between Donkey Kong and King Kong and the use of the Unreal engine....

Warframe is already a very pretty game no matter what platform you play it on (yes, even the Switch version), but the prettiest version is likely to be on the PlayStation 5. Enhanced light rendering, improved loading times, and of course, 4K @ 60fps gameplay. And it’s coming on Thursday, November 26. We got a sneak peek of the massive upgrades coming to Warframe on the PS5 earlier this month when Digital Extremes dropped their next-gen trailer....

Factions play a key part in Warhammer 40K, both for its lore and the various games, both digital and tabletop. Many know of the Space Marines and Orks, but one of the franchise’s most interesting factions is the Tyranids. Giant Hive Fleets have arrived from the edges of the Milky Way and have begun to harvest planets of all organic life. Most know them for their intimidating appearance and sheer numbers, but there is much more to the Tyranids than simply killing other factions....

There are over 100 players in each match of Warzone, so there are bound to be both good and bad players within each of them. Some players use strategies that are very skilled; however, there are also some annoying enemies that players will face during their time in this battle royale. Warzone is a large game and has many different mechanics for players to use, and as such, there ended up being many that were exploited by players that want easy wins and kills....

The magic of the Marvel Cinematic Universe comes not only from its great storytelling and mind-bending CGI but also from the amazing chemistry between its actors, from Chris Evans to Anthony Mackie. Shows like The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, which just made its debut on Disney Plus, rely on its actors to give justice to the strong bonds shared between the characters in the stories. In the case of Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes, their close relationship that we see in the MCU stories feels natural because Mackie and Sebastian Stan - the actors who play them - are close friends in real life....

Announced earlier this year at August’s major DC FanDome event, Gotham Knights is a new Batman game set in a fresh universe. Instead of players taking on the famed caped crusader, they instead will assume the role of the Bat Family, seeing Robin, Nightwing, Batgirl, and Red Hood team up to fight back against some of Gotham’s most notorious villains. While the footage showed off at DC FanDome mostly highlighted the game’s high-octane combat set-pieces and blockbuster battles, it seems there will be more to WB’s long-awaited Batman game....

During The Outer Worlds’ Radio Free Monarch quest, players will gain access to an optional side quest called Canid’s Cradle. While this secondary quest starts out quite simply, it can ultimately be approached in a variety of ways, and indeed there is an achievement (Peace in Our Time) associated with taking Canid’s Cradle to its best conclusion. For those fans that want to make sure that they reach that conclusion, a full walkthrough of this The Outer Worlds quest may prove useful....

One of the best aspects about Netflix and director Christian Schwochow’s Munich: The Edge of War is how acutely it makes you feel like it’s 1938. With its clandestine midnight meetings in hotel rooms and ministry offices, and its strained government officials struggling to grasp the full horror of what’s staring them in the face, the new film reminds audiences of the indecision and uncertainties which clouded the view for many on the path to World War II....

So, you want to be a Professional Gamer. The first consideration is what exactly this means to you. Does pro gaming mean being recruited by Tempo Storm and moving to a house where you’ll live and practice with teammates? Does it instead mean staying where you are and growing the largest Twitch viewership in history? Does it mean being able to wager $5 down at the arcade and reliably win some money from time to time?...

There’s nothing media types like myself enjoy more than an in-person event. They’re always a great opportunity to learn more about upcoming games, chat with developers face-to-face, and catch up with other games journalists and content creators. A lot of gaming sites, TheGamer included, are decentralized, so the only opportunity I have to meet up with my co-workers and other games writers is at conventions, press events, and in-person play sessions....

This The Walking Dead review contains spoilers. The Walking Dead Season 9 Episode 16 The biggest threat to humanity in the wake of the zombie apocalypse isn’t the random hordes of walkers that occasionally show up, or the skin-wearing thugs who kidnap and kill their friends. The biggest threat is the world around them. Rivers rush and surge unchecked, knocking down bridges. Trees fall, blocking roads and making travel and trade difficult....

Fans of CD Projekt Red’s The Witcher series know how awesome it would feel to become the eponymous Witcher. After all, Geralt continuously shows his skill and prowess in hunting monsters with his vast arsenal of weapons, tools, and even magical abilities. Moreover, players get a taste of Geralt’s flexibility as a fighter thanks to The Witcher 3’s dynamic combat system. As such, wouldn’t it be awesome to have even just some of Geralt’s abilities in real life?...

There are 9 different kinds of bombs found in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, all of which have different applications and advantages. Some are meant to deal direct damage in a variety of situations while others are intended for more specific usages. Each main type can be upgraded twice with diagrams that Geralt can find throughout the course of his adventures to extend the length of their effects as well as increase their potency....

The fate of Geralt of Rivia and Ciri, the Lion Cub of Cintra, were forever linked when the law of surprise was invoked in The Witcher season 1 after the monster killer saved the life of the princess’ father. But when Ciri finally found the man her dying grandmother, Queen Calanthe, urged her to seek out, a question arose: what sort of role would the two play in each other’s lives as the story of season 2 unfolds?...

Bubsy The Bobcat is the cockroach of the video gaming world. No one likes him, no one wants him, but he just keeps on coming back. It’s a franchise that’s produced nothing but low-quality titles for the entirety of its existence. This includes two lackluster Super Nintendo platformers, a poorly received modern-day reboot, and a failed pilot for a Saturday morning cartoon. But the worst thing that Bubsy and the people at Accolade – the developer that churned out this tripe – ever unleashed upon the world was undeniably Bubsy 3D....

There’s plenty in the DCEU slate to be excited about going forward, but when it comes to the potential for some lighthearted, Shazam! style fun, with some diversity to boot, Blue Beetle might just be the right man (teenager) for the job. The diversity is undoubtedly the most important part, but in a DCEU universe filled with much more serious stories, the possibility of a movie about Jaime Reyes, a kinder, more mellow Latinx teenager whose bigger arguments are with the alien technology attached to him, and which grants him his powers, should not be overstated....

Everyone knows that Fall Guys is harder than it looks and that most players are out for themselves—looking at you see-saw. However, there are some of you who are out to help, rather than just play to win—and this might be the most wholesome example from Fall Guys you’ll ever see. If you’re a Fall Guys fan, (and let’s just admit it if you’re reading this, you are) you’ll know that a lot of us have never won a crown....
