It may have received some initial criticism - being visually compared to a Fallout 3 DLC - but Earth Defense Force 6 has since revealed new screenshots from the main series’ sixth entry that will have gamers reaching for the Raid can. Presented during the Tokyo Game Show, D3 Publisher subjected audiences to their insect phobia with new images of the many-legged critters and human-shaped reptiles. One image showed an Earth defender firing at a horde of giant ants, attacking the metropolis wasteland in one tangled mess....

Ready at Dawn, the developer of The Order: 1886 and God of War: Ghost of Sparta, is announcing a new game next week. It will be GameStop’s second publishing project. GameStop’s first foray into publishing, Insomniac Games’ Song of the Deep, was revealed about four months ago. Since then the retail chain has announced that Song of the Deep is just the first of four projects it is funding as part of the GameTrust initiative....

Step aside Justice League. Forget Suicide Squad. A new cut of the Super Mario Bros. movie exists featuring previously unseen footage. For years, DC fans clamored for Warner Bros. to release Zack Snyder’s cut of Justice League, not knowing for sure whether it actually existed. Turns out it did, and all that clamoring paid off when the four-hour epic was released for the world to finally see earlier this year. It has resulted in the push to see the alternate cut of Suicide Squad gathering new momentum....

Gato Salvaje Studio recently updated its upcoming Celtic mythology RPG The Waylanders with the Immersive Update, which added new immersive origin stories with accompanying videos for eight of the game’s characters. The update also includes the new Photo Mode, and numerous other changes and improvements. According to The Waylanders Early Access Roadmap, the Immersive Update is the second of three updates Gato Salvaje Studio has planned for this winter. The next update scheduled for later this January will include game language localizations for Spanish, Latin American Spanish, French, German, Simplified Chinese, Russian, and Galician....

After a long shutdown, production on season two of The Witcher’s Netflix adaption is finally back underway. It’s great news for fans of the show, although it’s likely to be quite some time before the show is ready for transmission. The streaming giant had originally planned for a 2021 release, but, due to the disruption and the potential for more to come, there are no guarantees. With this in mind, now might be the perfect time to return to the first season of the show and relive some of its wonderful moments....

The Witcher 3’s combat system has taken a lot of flak over the years. But it is a highly intricate set-up with a plethora of factors that can make or break a battle. With two swords, a crossbow, a variety of bombs, and a selection of magical signs to utilize, there are countless combinations and nearly limitless tactical customizations. Of course, with so many possibilities come boundless chances for error as well....

Starfield is making headlines recently, which is odd for a game that we haven’t heard a peep from since 2018. At the time, Bethesda released a trailer for what they promised to be an epic sci-fi space romp. But ever since then, we haven’t heard anything about Starfield until extremely recently where Todd Howard told us that the game was getting a complete engine re-write to take advantage of next-gen console technology....

This Titans review contains spoilers. Titans Season 2 Episode 3 Reunited, and it feels … mostly good. For the third episode of Titans season 2, “Ghosts,” most of our heroes converge on Titans Tower in San Francisco for an interesting character examination, and not-so-bottled tension. Meanwhile, Slade Wilson and Doctor Light make their first villainous moves. Although it has really only been one episode that everyone has been split up, I agreed with Rachel’s “Finally” when Donna, Hank, and Dawn arrived outside the tower....

Anticipation for Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 Remastered is building, and fans have been eagerly awaiting news about how the new game will improve on the originals that were released twenty years ago. Fans are not only looking forward to the remastered Pro Skater games because of the seamless skating mechanics, but there is also a great deal of nostalgia for the original soundtrack. However, it also appears as though the new game will bring some additional music to the table....

Total War: Rome Remastered is, for the majority of the gameplay, almost exactly the same as the original Rome: Total War from almost two decades ago. While most of the graphics have been updated with increased texture fidelity and upscaling to 4k, most of the actual mechanics have been untouched. That is except for one new addition: the Merchants. These are new agents available in Total War: Rome Remastered and echo the Merchants found in Medieval 2: Total War....

Some may have questioned whether the Quick Resume feature on the Xbox Series X is all it’s cracked up to be. Alanah Pearce, a video game personality and voice actress who has played as NPCs in Gears 5 and who is currently involved in the production of Cyberpunk 2077, decided to test the feature on her own Xbox console. “Definitely got a lot of comments from people saying they don’t understand what the point of the Quick Resume feature is,” Pearce says....

On Wednesday, the new free-to-view 24/7 TV network named VENN launched on streaming services. Offering regularly scheduled programs about pop culture, video games, and in particular esports, VENN broadcasts on Twitch, YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter, with other platforms ‘coming soon.’ VENN co-founders Ben Kusin and Ariel Horn initially planned to launch the network with two studios, one in New York and another in Los Angeles. However, the coronavirus pandemic prompted Kusin and Horn to delay the New York launch and focus on the VENN’s Los Angeles debut....

Twitter has now finally rolled out its Twitter Blue subscription service to people who own Android phones. Previously, people could only sign up for Twitter Blue using an iPhone or the company’s website. Twitter Blue was revamped and relaunched shortly after current owner and CEO Elon Musk took over the social network in late 2022 and despite tweaks, it still isn’t a very compelling deal. And it isn’t particularly like Android owners were missing out on too much before today....

This February, Ubisoft officially broke the news that a run of 5 different Rainbow Six Siege chibi figurines would be releasing in the summer of 2017. Fan reception to these collectible figurines must have been positive, as Ubisoft is now ramping itself up for another production run - but this time, the studio is polling fans about what Rainbow Six Siege operators they would like to see released as collectible figurines....

When Ubisoft released The Black Eyed Peas Experience last November, the reception was rather predictable. Most critics (read our review) were amiable towards the motion dancer’s expansive soundtrack and appeal to The Black Eyed Peas fans, but gibed at its broken gameplay and lack of accessibility. The result: the game was a commercial misfire for Ubisoft - according to VGChartz, combined Xbox 360/Wii sales for the The Black Eyed Peas Experience are at a paltry ....

Super Nintendo World may have received another crushing delay of its grand opening, but that hasn’t stopped Universal Studios Japan from redecorating in anticipation. Various photos have emerged of the attraction’s Super Mario-themed banners that have begun flying at the Osaka resort. Thanks to a small handful of Twitter users, we can see Universal’s decorations scattered within the Japanese resort - exciting breadcrumbs teasing the extension’s imminent arrival. One user, “usj_adventure” showed an image of an oval-shaped Mario plaque hanging from the entrance arch to Universal Studios....

Valorant is getting a game-changing patch today, as update 2.03 is reworking both Yoru and Reyna. While Reyna is on the receiving end of a nerf, Yoru’s ultimate seems to have been completely redesigned. As of update 2.03 Yoru’s Gatecrash ability will now display the range at which the tether can be seen by enemies. You’ll also find the range that enemies can hear the audio of the Gatecrash teleport on the minimap....

Another piece of evidence has presented itself, indicating that Valve is truly getting back into the business of making video games. In an interview with IGN, Valve employees stated that they are well aware of the jokes surrounding the company’s lack of “Number 3” titles for fan-favorite franchises such as Half-life and Left 4 Dead. However, they also reinforced previous reports that the studio is shifting its time and focus to developing video games again....

Capcom has revealed Resident Evil Village took just 20 days to hit four million copies sold and is hopeful it will become the best-selling game in the franchise. After a quiet period on the new releases front, games have started to fly onto the market at an alarming rate. A different title seems to top the chart with each passing week, and a couple of weeks ago it was the turn of Resident Evil Village....
