When we first saw Bugsnax during the Future of Gaming event back in June, we knew that there was going to be more than meets the eye with the title, but you probably didn’t expect this. You are actually playing as a journalist covering a story about the existence of bugsnax—which apparently aren’t just accepted as real in this universe. During Sony’s State of Play, we got a better look at what we can expect from Bugsnax in a one and a half minute long video....

It wasn’t supposed to play out this way. WandaVision, Marvel’s wild Disney+ spinoff show about the further adventures of superheroes Scarlet Witch and Vision, was set to arrive later in the timeline of the new MCU TV saga, but thanks to the industry-crippling events of 2020, the Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany-led show found itself front and center, replacing The Falcon and the Winter Soldier as an opening gambit. The “bonkers” series, which is set to premiere on Disney+ on January 15, 2021, has teased a trip down sitcom memory lane, referencing everything from I Love Lucy to Roseanne, but in a new interview with Collider while promoting his upcoming film Uncle Frank, star Paul Bettany says that WandaVision will still be firmly grounded in the MCU....

If you’re a 3DS owner who wants to buy some digital content this weekend, you’re in for a shock. That’s because Wario, Mario’s coin-hungry counterpart, has taken over the Nintendo eShop. Every page is an advertisement for a game Wario features in, with him being the poster boy for each one. Mario Kart 7 has a picture of Wario with his yellow vehicle. Mario Tennis Open is invaded by a flexing Wario....

Watch Dogs: Legion is the latest in Ubisoft’s action-adventure, hacking game series, and in spite of past delays, will be arriving later this October to current and next-generation platforms. Legion is slated to be one of the big releases this month, but recent news on the DLC content might make it better or worse for some fans. Earlier this year, it was revealed that Legion has a playable Assassin’s Creed character, leading to much fan speculation on what it entails for both franchises going forward....

Outer Worlds is a wonderful open world filled with new DLCs, hilarious NPCs, and terrifying enemies. As you play Outer Worlds, it becomes vital to increase so many stats, from health to armor to speech! One of the main ways to do that is to use perks. But with 42 different perks, it’s pretty easy to get a little confused and overwhelmed. Nevertheless, there are some of these that you just have to take and prioritize....

Nifty Knitting Stuff is the second community voted Stuff Pack for The Sims 4 and was released this week. Its launch follows months of community votes, developer blogs, and frequent updates. As such, those who followed these posts were already aware of the majority of the pack’s contents, something which is mostly unique. The first community voted Stuff Pack was Laundry Day Stuff, released back in January 2018. Back then, the basic process of voting was very similar but was promoted in a much more low key manner, meaning far less take up....

Created in October of 2003 by Robert Kirkman, The Walking Dead franchise is now old enough to drive and nearly old enough to vote. With that in mind, the latest TWD franchise is going to be injecting some fresh blood into the proceedings. Premiering on Oct. 4 after The Walking Dead season 10 finale, The Walking Dead: World Beyond will be a unique experiment for the long-running AMC monolith. For starters, World Beyond won’t be reaching anywhere near the flagship series’ staggering 11-season run....

This Walking Dead article contains spoilers. The end of The Walking Dead is only the beginning. That’s the teaser that closes the series finale of AMC’s zombie flagship. A Rick and Michonne series, Daryl’s spinoff, a Maggie and Negan show called Dead City, and more Fear the Walking Dead are indeed on the way, but for at least one major TWD character, this finale really is the end of the road....

Kristofer Hivju, best known for his role as Tormund Giantsbane on HBO’s hit series Game of Thrones, has tested positive for COVID-19. Hivju was recently cast as Nivellen in Netflix’s season 2 of The Witcher, which is now being delayed due to the Coronavirus outbreak. Hivju posted the update on his Instagram on Monday. Hivju announced that he has tested positive, but that he and his family are taking the necessary precautions to stay safe....

It took a long time for the Final Fantasy series to find an audience outside of Japan. Final Fantasy VII became the killer app for the Sony PlayStation, which helped to bring the JRPG genre to mainstream success. The Final Fantasy series had been around for almost a decade by that point, with only a few games seeing a release outside of Japan. The Final Fantasy series has had numerous adaptations and spinoffs that never left Japan....

It doesn’t matter how pure a sound is when it catches the ear’s attention, someone in the music industry will find a way to infect it. Pop music is infectious by design, and Netflix’s This Is Pop, reveals the delivery system. The eight-part docuseries focuses on some of the less unexamined moments of the most scrutinized genre in music. It is as depressing as it is exhilarating, and it barely skips a beat....

The Glaceon figure for May’s installment of An Afternoon With Eevee and Friends has just hit the Pokemon Center. Glaceon is the ice-type Gen IV Eevee-lution and the fourth figure to be released for this collection. The collaboration between Funko and the Pokemon Center began back in February with the release of two frolicking Eevee. The Eevee-lution figures will continue to drop each month, until October when Umbreon hits the shelves....

This week in World of Warcraft brings several hotfixes to endgame content, beginning with a long-awaited improvement to the Echoes of Ny’alotha system. A new currency has been added that will allow players to acquire essences more often through less grinding, which is essential for those pushing the hardest content available with their guilds. In addition, the Corruption Vendor is now live from May 19 to 22. Players should check out what is available before a rotation occurs, as the specific items may not be around again for another four weeks or so, as with most vendor items....

There aren’t many gaming franchises that have been around as long as Tomb Raider. Since 1996 the action-adventure series has been revolutionizing the genre. And its protagonist Lara Croft has become one of the most iconic and instantly recognizable video game characters of all time. This list isn’t about how great the series is though, it’s about memes. Like any other big franchise, the Tomb Raider games have spawned a ton of them....

New Pokemon Snap is a Nintendo remake that has just released, and already players are taking adorably goofy pictures of the Pokemon in their environments. There are tons of different Pokemon to discover in Pokemon snap, and they all have unique gestures that showcase their daily lives in the wild. Pokemon such as Pichu, Blastoise, and Aipom make for hilarious pictures, and every Pokemon has different routines and interactions with both the environment and other Pokemon....

Ubisoft is proud to be the last publisher standing on the bones of the long-since discontinued Nintendo Wii. Wii. It’s a console we haven’t heard from in many years. Nintendo discontinued their little white box with nunchucks in 2013 and finally stopped supporting the Wii Shop earlier this year. As far as we were concerned, the Wii was to become just another legacy console to find one day at a thrift store....

Ubisoft and Massive’s open-world Star Wars game is in the early stages of development, and next to nothing is known about what the final product is going to look like. Speculation has been running rampant from fans, and many have been vocal about what they want to see from this Star Wars game. For some ideas on what it could do with the Star Wars game, Ubisoft doesn’t have to look any further than its own history....

Console scalping has been a major problem since the release of the Xbox Series X|S and the PS5. The UK, in particular, seems to have more of a problem than other areas of the world, with some groups using tactics straight out of Fast and Furious to get their hands on hot tech. Today, IGN has reported that a bill is being considered in the UK that would make scalping (using bots) an illegal practice....

Ray tracing might be the flashy new(ish) tech that makes games look pretty, but it’s DLSS that really sets Nvidia’s hardware ahead of the curve. With DLSS, games can receive huge performance gains that let blockbuster games run on comparatively meager hardware. You can already find DLSS support in about 40 games currently, such as Outriders, Crysis Remastered, and Nioh 2. However, with Nvidia and Unity’s most recent announcement, that number is about to get a whole lot bigger....
