WWE fans were both disheartened and emboldened by the news that 2K will not be publishing a WWE 2K21 this year. Disheartened, because it implied no big WWE game in 2020, but emboldened because WWE 2K20 and 2K were both so heavily criticized for the game’s quality. A new twist has taken place, however, with 2K issuing a statement. According to 2K, news will be shared about the future of the WWE 2K franchise on Monday, including something exciting that some guess could be a new game....

The Cyberpunk genre and video games have always had a close relationship. The interactive medium stays on the cutting edge of technological trends while simultaneously retaining artistic integrity, at least depending on the game and studio. The science fiction subgenre is all about new technologies and its effect on society. It makes sense that the two would have a kinship. Countless games fit the genre, but none are as ambitious as the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077, made by the Polish developer CD Projekt Red....

For the longest time, people thought that Final Fantasy XV would never be a reality. The game was announced all the way back in 2006 as Final Fantasy Versus XIII, before shifting gears and turning into a fully-blown mainline title by the name of Final Fantasy XV. However, post this reveal, Final Fantasy XV’s development was anything but smooth sailing. From scrapped concepts to the change of directors itself, there were several issues that worried fans about the fate of Final Fantasy XV....

Hidetaka Miyazaki went above and beyond the call of duty when it came to crafting one of the best gaming experiences of all time, Dark Souls. The game features the almost-mythological story of the Chosen Undead as he either leaves the world steeped in darkness or sacrifices himself to light the First Flame. Dark Souls was such a breakout hit for From Software that they’ve managed to enjoy a meteoric rise to the very top of the gaming industry, releasing a slew of games that have taken the main concepts present in Dark Souls and built upon it with each successive title....

One of the reasons cult classic RPG Undertale is so beloved is because of how packed it is with content. Over ten endings, time-based events, characters that remember your actions — it’s easy to discover something new with each playthrough. That said, there was quite a lot of content that didn’t make it into the final game — some completely dropped and some accessible with a few tweaks. In recent years, extra media put out by the creator and a lot of fan digging has unveiled some of this unused content for all to enjoy....

When most people think of scary Pokémon, they probably think of Ghost-types, which are famed for their creepy and sometimes horrifying in-game lore, often sourced from their Pokédex entries. But, the horrors of the Pokémon world are not only the domain of Ghost-types, as there are many other scary creatures that you wouldn’t want to run into alone. Let’s take a look at some of the other types that have horrifying Pokémon amongst their midst — Ghost-types have been taking the flack for far too long....

Pokemon is an extremely popular franchise and because of that its crossover with other properties in terms of fan interest is all over the place. The chances of a Pokemon fan being into comics or superhero films is rather high and the people talking about Batman and Superman could likely argue over Snorlax and Slaking. Inspiration comes from many places and DC Comics and Pokemon probably have their share of similarities....

Mario is the family-friendly face of Nintendo. Beloved by all (except Bowser’s army), he’s known as the reliable, lovable hero of the Mushroom Kingdom, always available to save Princess Peach from certain disaster. But did you know that there is a certain rumor circulating the Internet that Mario might actually be the villain of the series? It could be possible that Nintendo has managed to pull the biggest prank on the gaming world ever - Bowser might actually be the good guy, trying to save Peach from the evil Mario!...

Like the rest of Zack Snyder’s filmography, Man of Steel is a contentious movie. Snyder’s reinterpretation of Superman is dark and border on cynical, sharing more in common with Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy over most Superman comics. All the same, Man of Steel offers a fascinating glimpse into Superman’s psyche and who Clark Kent would realistically be in a modern setting: someone looking for purpose. Man of Steel is about Clark Kent starting his journey towards becoming Superman, overcoming his personal insecurities to be mankind’s hero....

The news that came out of E3 sparked hope and a lot of anticipation anxiety into the hearts of gamers everywhere. From the announcement of Kingdom Hearts III (who, let’s be honest, won E3 And Sony) to a second Nioh game and the production of Life Is Strange 2, many a fan nearly passed out from the sheer excitement. We also got a few special surprises between late last year and early this year, though, which included remakes and reboots of some of our favorite games....

This article comes from Den of Geek UK. Will hard-working companies like Arrow, Shout Factory, Second Sight, and Powerhouse, who work hard cleaning up and shipping out all the beloved movies from our formative years in exchange for a reasonable amount of cash, ever run out of new finds to level up for fresh Blu-ray releases? Unlikely! That 4K restoration of Rawhead Rex you always wanted? Here you go. A limited-edition copy of Xtro with three thousand hours of special features?...

For some time now, multiplayer has been the bread and butter of Call of Duty. The online component of the game and the way that the new exo suits would transform play in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare were as much of a draw to the game (if not more) as Kevin Spacey’s realistic performance capture. Multiplayer undergoes serious tweaks every single year (such as the introduction of scorestreaks in Call of Duty: Black Ops 2) and updates following each game’s release patch up multiplayer map loopholes in the interest of keeping Call of Duty fair....

Fans of From Software’s most recent title Bloodborne realized a few weeks ago that the developer had found a way to make the game harder without player’s noticing. The fact that the Hand Lantern was designed to sneakily reduce stamina regeneration was viewed by some as an annoyance but many others found it a devious but genius plot by the developer to make a hard game even more difficult. But while some gamers admired From Software’s handiwork in this case, the same can’t be said about an unintentional bug that has plagued players in another title by the developer....

One of the many struggles brought on by the current worldwide COVID-19 pandemic was financial hardship. Many businesses were unfortunately forced to close because of it, but Japanese drink company Dydo DrinCo was able to stay afloat, and they credit it to a collaboration with Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. Crunchyroll reports that Dydo DrinCo’s business was actually doing about 6% worse than in 2019 throughout most of 2020, as most of their purchases are through vending machines and convenience stores and people were, of course, staying home for the majority of the year....

Despite the fact that the PC versions of games are usually the best versions to come out, they’re sometimes not given the same treatment as their console counterparts. In the past, PC ports have experienced everything from skipping physical releases, to being delayed until long after the other versions. And even after launch their could be a myriad of problems. The blame, for lack of a better word, can largely be placed on development, as it isn’t as simple and straightforward as many may think....

It’s been a long time since the first concept art for a mysterious project called Deus Ex Universe was revealed, teasing a follow-up to the studio’s prequel Deus Ex: Human Revolution. While it may not have reached the heights of the first game, Human Revolution put the franchise back in a respectable place and introduced a unique new aesthetic based largely in tones of black and gold. It was sleek, stylish, and a promising fresh start....

In case you fans of Gears of War 3 multiplayer had begun to find the available maps a bit dull and dreary, then the newest addition will comes as good news. The ‘Bullet Marsh’ map won’t be coming until thanksgiving next week, but if you crave that extra competitive edge, don’t hesitate to analyze the new trailer for any exploits or sniping positions. Gears of War 3 is enjoying plenty of support from fans both offline and online, with the developers at Epic unveiling their DLC season pass to make the most out of early adopters....

Popular stat-tracking service Raptr has once again revealed its winners for the most played games of the year, and once again the results are surprising. Sure, some of the usual suspects make appearances on Raptr’s list, but since these are awards based on actual play-time, and not any type of vote, no one game claimed all the awards. As well, this year Raptr has decided to do things a little differently and limit most of their categories to launch window statistics....

Despite having been delayed several times while Rockstar worked on the PC version of Grand Theft Auto 5, interest around the Grand Theft Auto Online heist update has remained high. Scheduled for a release today, the heist update adds five multiplayer heists to the game, allowing players to conduct armed robberies and ambitious data theft missions with their pals. In addition to this, the update also introduces daily objectives which will surely give players a reason to log in every day....

Microsoft’s gameplay reveal of Halo 5: Guardians at their E3 2015 forum has proven that even though a franchise has been done nearly to death, if it’s inevitable sequels are handled the correct way, it can thrive once more. Fortunately, 343 Industries has stepped in to provide the Halo series with a much-needed shot in the arm. By adeptly enhancing the fundamental elements that ignited the first person shooter’s popularity—that is, features like the sprawling Warzone mode multiplayer maps—Halo 5: Guardians is gearing up to be one of this year’s most hotly anticipated games....
