Ubisoft has become a mainstay in today’s video game news.

Announced quite a while ago, there has been little word on Rainbow Six Quarantine recently. What is known is that unlike the extremely successful Rainbow Six Siege, Quarantine will be a horror title....

PlayStation 4 owners everywhere were disappointed when Sony announced that their biggest game of the year, Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, was delayed to Spring 2016. Sony realized that they still needed Nathan Drake and the Uncharted series on PS4 in 2015 in some form or another, and so they announced Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection for release this October. Some feel that Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection is little more than yet another cash grab remaster, but Sony is confident that the collection is bringing enough to the table to warrant picking it up, whether one is looking to relive Drake’s adventures or missed out on them when they originally released for PlayStation 3....

Back in early December, Valorant’s upcoming fourteenth agent leaked before Riot Games could give him a proper reveal. Said leak revealed everything important about Valorant’s upcoming character, such as his name and every last one of his abilities.

However, Valorant’s latest promotion just confirmed everything the leak revealed is true....

Recent comments made by the White House have revived a debate from the ’90s that many people thought was long over. The recent shooting sprees that have happened in public locations and schools have been blamed on violence in the media, or more specifically, violent video games. The debate over whether video games inspire violent acts was sparked by two major events in the ’90s. The first of these was the release of Mortal Kombat in the arcades, which was so violent that it led to the Congressional hearing that inspired the creation of the ESRB....

Despite being in one of the first films of the MCU, Darcy Lewis (Kat Dennings) has had a tough ride of it recently. One of the defining characters of the first two Thor movies, Darcy was unceremoniously forgotten by Marvel when the God of Thunder rebranded himself and went cosmic in 2017’s Thor: Ragnarok. Inasmuch, many fans thought that 2013’s Thor: The Dark World would be the last they’d see of this plucky, wise-cracking, earth-bound intern....

This Warzone player can rightly call themself Legolas after making this insane crossbow kill. Call of Duty: Warzone has a bow. Well, technically it’s a crossbow, but it still fires a bolt with a string, so we’ll call it a bow. It also has a surprising range, as Reddit user Nar1y shows in this incredible kill clip. From atop a building in Verdansk, Nar1y and their team are looking to get a few sniper kills....

The game features an open world city called Oakmont that players are free to explore at their leisure as private investigator Charles Reed.

Dettlaff van der Eretein was the antagonist from Blood & Wine, the final piece of DLC for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. A powerful vampire, he was arguably one of the most dangerous foes Geralt fought one on one, even stronger than the main game’s villain, Eredin. Throughout the DLC, we learn a lot about Dettlaff as we come to understand that he’s not really an evil beast, but a tortured soul who’s been manipulated, betrayed, and pushed to the brink....

As there are so many characters in The Witcher saga, especially in CD Projekt Red’s games, vying for the spotlight, some of them are destined to be underrated or underappreciated compared to their book counterparts. One such character is Fringilla Vigo, who has a controversial past and relationship with Geralt and her peers in the Lodge of Sorceresses. In The Witcher, Fringilla is often overshadowed by the more powerful and louder mages such as Yennefer, Triss, or Philippa Eilhart....
