It’s been a long road for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt since being revealed more than two years ago, even before “next-gen” consoles were actually revealed. Unfortunately, the game has suffered multiple delays since its reveal, but considering that it now appears to be on track for its May release date, fans are craving more information on the title. Lucky for fans, the ambitious open-world action adventure game from developer CD Projekt Red has released a brand new 15 minute trailer showing off more gameplay from the upcoming title....

[UPDATE: The supposed leaker has now stated that the NDA he provided was fake and that the following information is not true. In his comment, the leaker apologizes for faking this Elder Scrolls 6 leak. Original story follows.] When it comes to big titles in the gaming industry, video game leaks should be taken with a massive grain of salt. This is often obvious because the leaker provides no proof as to his or her authenticity, but the latest Elder Scrolls 6 leak does just that....

Since the first announcement of Watch_Dogs, Ubisoft has made it clear that Aiden Pearce will not be your usual video game protagonist - and his weapons will certainly not be limited to the firearms he can fit into his pockets. Thanks to the latest trailer, potential players can get a better sense of how a smartphone can be turned into a truly deadly device. Helping to outline the massive digital framework encompassing the city of Chicago - ctOS - and Pearce’s specific ability to interact with it, the new walkthrough gives a clear sense of how the basic gameplay loops of Watch_Dogs will function moment-to-moment....

It’s almost that time of the year again, when THQ releases its annual installment in the WWE line of video games. Last year’s iteration radically changed up the formula of the entire franchise, and WWE 13 is aiming to perfect all of the new mechanics implemented in WWE 12 and add some new ones. We’ll see if they’ve accomplished that task later October, but there’s one more important aspect of the upcoming game that fans have been anxious to learn: which past and present Superstars will be lacing up the boots in WWE 13....

Action games typically don’t rely on well thought out stories, that’s why every Call Of Duty game is mostly about the multiplayer. The campaign is short and sweet and sometimes pretty shallow. But there are only so many Micheal Bay level explosive set-pieces one can have in a game. So when a game that has action as a big part has a decent and long story, it’s a surprise. The games on this list are specifically for those long single-player sessions, where players can get lost in interesting worlds alone....

Final Fantasy is easily one of the biggest video game franchises of all time, and it’s only a given that every new entry in this historied series would be anticipated to kingdom come. This is exactly the case with Final Fantasy XVI — fans can’t wait to embark on a whole new journey that’s full to the brim with classic Final Fantasy tropes from start to end. That being said, the wait for a new Final Fantasy title can prove to be quite excruciating at times — something that fans have unfortunately experienced with the infamously prolonged development period of Final Fantasy XV....

The subgenre of cyberpunk is trending, especially due to the excitement around the release of Cyberpunk 2077. However, not all gamers are pleased with how the game turned out. Luckily for them though, there is a whole hidden world of cyberpunk video games to explore. As for what defines a game to be cyberpunk, the games fit into the realm of science fiction. The specifics include being set in the future with high-tech innovation, but shadowed by most people having a low quality of life....

From the time a developer begins production on a game, it can be several years before the project is played by the public. While many studios can not predict exactly when their game will come out at the time they start development, every now and again it seems like several studios met up to plan an incredible year of game releases. Although each year has its share of incredible titles, 2018 stands apart from the rest as the best year of gaming in the past decade....

E3 2017 is now in the books, and like usual, it was a huge show featuring a wide variety of games. Some of the industry’s biggest upcoming games were on display at E3, like God of War, Star Wars Battlefront 2, Super Mario Odyssey, and more. All things considered, there was a little something for everyone at E3 2017, but even so, there were some games we were hoping to see at the show that didn’t appear for one reason or another....

Earning yourself a win in Valorant can be incredibly challenging and often frustrating, especially when you’re matched against more experienced players. Even though the game is only out for closed beta right now, Valorant enthusiasts have already put on their grinding pants. Valorant has both MOBA and FPS elements, and players unfamiliar with either of the two genres might struggle in the game. It’s important to understand the intricacies of Valorant and how one can improve at the game....

It’s something that happens way more than it should. Chalk it up to ignorance, carelessness, or whatever else you want to call it, but you can’t deny that there’s still a pretty surprising amount of people who think Link is Zelda. No, they don’t think he’s the titular princess; rather that he’s the series’ namesake. This is probably a case of associating the main character with anything and everything in their game....

The Pokémon series found an audience right out of the gate. The level of support for this series has only grown over time and it’s incredible to see the heights that Pokémon has been able to reach in just a few decades. Now Pokémon mainline titles and spin-offs are on the majority of Nintendo consoles and there’s also an anime that’s been going strong for years. Of the many different types of Pokémon that fill up the universe, there’s always been an extra level of affection for Electric-Types due to how Pikachu is a member of the party....

With both Battlefield 4 and Call of Duty: Ghosts making the jump to the next-gen, both franchises will need to work even harder to set themselves apart from each other. Yes, graphics boosts can deliver that initial appeal, but it’s what is underneath that glossy sheen that will keep players playing well into the New Year. For Battlefield 4, keeping players invested means a deeper multiplayer ranking system, which includes dozens of ribbons, medals, rewards, and many other incentives....

In typical Call of Duty fashion, the Black Ops 2 Revolution DLC has had a somewhat interesting journey toward official confirmation. Bringing five new maps and a new Zombie game mode, Revolution was first leaked, then confirmed (accidentally), before finally being outed and paired with an extensive walkthrough video outlining the incoming content. In an effort to remind everyone that no game series carries more clout than CoD, Activision has called on the talents of Peter Stormare (Minority Report, Fargo) for their latest Revolution trailer....

Heading into E3 2015, there were a lot of surprises spoiled ahead of time. Destiny watched its next expansion leak in large pieces thanks to a Red Bull marketing campaign. A trademark for Mirror’s Edge 2 revealed that the game would be subtitled Catalyst. And leaked images and gameplay confirmed that From Software was hard at work on Dark Souls 3. Nevertheless, the prospect of a third Dark Souls game so soon after From Software delivered Bloodborne left fans reasonably concerned, even more so considering the faults of Dark Soul 2....

Hasbro and Entertainment One are in the midst of planning multiple projects as part of a Dungeons and Dragons franchise. Now, John Wick writer and creator Derek Kolstad has been tapped to pen and develop a live-action series based on the fantasy role-playing game. First published in 1974, Dungeons and Dragons players assume the roles of humans, elves, and other fantasy characters created by themselves. Under the guidance of the tabletop role-playing game’s referee and storyteller, referred to as the Dungeon Master, players embark on a series of imaginary adventures, engage in battles, and participate in other quests with results that are often determined by rolling multisided dice....

The rumors of Final Fantasy Versus XIII’s demise have been greatly exaggerated. Announced six years ago, Versus XIII stands as the only unreleased game in Square Enix’s Fabula Nova Crystallis: Final Fantasy initiative, which also includes Final Fantasy XIII, Final Fantasy XIII-2 and Final Fantasy Type-0. Reports surfaced late last week claiming that the long-overdue game had been quietly cancelled, and that work completed on Versus XIII would be used for another, as-yet-unannounced project....

When God of War: Ascension arrives next March, it’ll be the first game in the series to include both a single-player campaign and a full-featured multiplayer mode. No less an authority than God of War creator David Jaffe has gone on record with his belief that Ascension’s multiplayer “looks cool” – but why take his word for it when you can check the game out for yourself? A God of War: Ascension worldwide multiplayer beta is due to kick off soon, and as with nearly every other beta that graces PlayStation hardware, PlayStation Plus subscribers will be the first through the proverbial door....

While the previous two animated trailers for Gotham City Impostors did much to set up the idea behind this downloadable shooter, they didn’t quite explain how the gameplay will work. In Impostors, players are tasked with creating their own Gotham City facsimile of either Joker or Batman who will then do battle on various Gotham City locales. It’s a concept that is easy to explain, but is better served when seen first hand....

With the launch of the new ‘Reclaimer Trilogy’ that Halo 4 represents, Master Chief is poised to become not just one of the most violent space marines the world of video games has seen to date, but one of the most complicated. But in order to get him to those lofty heights, the developers at 343 Industries will need to produce some stellar gameplay along with compelling fiction. That seems to be where the new enemies come in....
