If a recent trademark filing by Capcom is any indication, it seems a new Dino Crisis game could soon enter development. The veteran developer and publisher filed multiple new trademarks in Japan for IPs including Rockman (Mega Man), Power Stone, and Darkstalkers. It seems relevant to mention that Capcom’s 2019 investor report revealed vague plans to “[awaken] dormant intellectual properties,” adding another sliver of hope to gamers hoping for a revival of the Dino Crisis or Darkstalkers series.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare ‘s first season of content updates is in full swing, and the latest update adds the new Cranked game mode, new maps, a new operator, and new Special Ops co-op missions. The latest Modern Warfare update goes live Wednesday, December 18 on all platforms. Call of Duty fans familiar with Call of Duty: Ghost and Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare will remember the “fast-paced, high octane Deathmatch” mode. You can unlock Nikto by purchasing the Nikto Operator Bundle, which in

If you missed out on Luigi’s Mansion 3 amidst the holidays and game of the year/decade talk, I’ll forgiv

After the lukewarm reception for Ghost Recon: Breakpoint led Ubisoft to delay three of its biggest games , it isn’t taking any more chances. The game’s crossover Terminator event won’t go live until some time next year. The 1.10 title update is meant to fix multiple issues with audio, as well as with enemy AI, basejumping, and night vision goggles. The Terminator Live Event was previously set to begin sometime between the end of December and mid-January. You’ll be able to earn exclusive weapons,

No Man’s Sky’s newest feature is the ByteBeat Device, which Hello Games describes as “a full audio creation application.” “Once placed in your base and powered, the ByteBeat will immediately begin to produce sound,” Hello Games explains. As Hello Games notes, ByteBeat music has been around for a few years. It’s possible to recreate, or at least convincingly mimic, all sorts of sounds and rhythms using ByteBeat, and it looks like No Man’s Sky’s take on the genre will allow players to do just that

John Boyega may play Finn in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker , but how well does he play Cal Kestis in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order ? The actor sat down for an Xbox Sessions video and got a chance to play the game for the first time. He’s a big Star Wars Battlefront 2 player, so it’s interesting to see how he adjusts to the different gameplay style (he doesn’t play Battlefront 2 as Finn, by the way, but Anakin). After his playthrough, Boyega remarks on how much Battlefront players wanted more s

According to community manager David ‘Deej’ Dague, this is exactly the sort of MMORPG-style mechanic that Bungie wants to explore in the future. “We want to lean more into the MMORPG elements that make Destiny special,” Dague says. The Charged with Light mods allow players to build stacks of a Light buff and then spend them on special abilities and bonuses, from enhanced damage to refunded ammo. A few short years ago, comparing Destiny 2 to a conventional tab-target MMO would’ve been unthinkable

The Google Stadia is getting Ghost Recon Breakpoint on Wednesday, and it’s the first game to make use of the cloud-based console’s Stream Connect feature. Stream Connect lets you see your teammates’ screens in real-time as you play through co-op missions and matches. Google bills the Stream Connect feature as a way to enjoy the tactical advantages of real-time screen sharing “without any performance penalties,” a feat credited to the Google Stadia’s cloud-based rendering. The Stadia-exclusive St

The Risk of Rain 2 Hidden Realms update is out on PC today, December 17, and it’s got more big additions for the ever-expanding roguelike. Two explorable Hidden Realms are the headlining feature, but the update also introduced a new Survivor, alternate layouts for existing biomes, as well as more items and enemies. The new Survivor is Acrid, another returning character from the original Risk of Rain. Here’s his full kit:Passive – Poison: some attacks apply poison which deals damage over time but

Fornite ‘s new Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker content is pretty cool, but getting Mark Hamill to show it off is even cooler. This week, Luke Skywalker himself will join Ninja to play some good ol’ fashioned Fortnite in an Xbox Sessions special feature. Just the sheer concept of the zany Mark Hamill interacting with the slightly manic Ninja while attempting to play Fortnite is enough to get me to tune in. Mark Hamill will join Ninja for a Fortnite sesh this Thursday, December 19, the same day R

The next batch of limited-time PlayStation Now games will arrive on January 2, 2020, Sony announced today. Horizon Zero Dawn and Uncharted: The Lost Legacy are leading the pack, but subscribers will also get delightful co-op came Overcooked 2. PlayStation Now users are getting the complete edition of Horizon Zero Dawn, including the Frozen Wilds DLC and other bonus content. Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, meanwhile, is something of a side story to Naughty Dog’s treasure-hunting odyssey. It’s not as

A Quiet Place was one the unexpected hits of 2018. As well as being inventively scary, A Quiet Place was also a surprisingly emotional family story. Above, you can see an exclusive new image from Part II featuring Blunt, Simmonds and Jupe.

A Quiet Place Part II opens in cinemas on March 20, 2020.

In news that will hit like a Vulcan nerve pinch to the heart, Quentin Tarantino is possibly re-considering his R-Rated Star Trek movie. “Not a movie,” Tarantino told SiriusXM. So, the Tarantino Star Trek pipe dream – one which he called “Pulp Fiction in space” – could be drawing to a close. Star Trek: Picard has already been renewed for a second season before the first even premieres next month, while there have been rumblings about Star Trek 4 happening, written and directed by Noah Hawley. Fin

The new film – Bond 25, as it’s informally known – sees 007 retired from active duty, before his old CIA contact Felix Leiter (Jeffrey Wright) emerges to seek his help. “[Daniel’s] been the most extraordinary Bond,” producer Barbara Broccoli tells our sister publication Total Film magazine in their new 2020 Preview issue, which includes the exclusive new image of Craig’s Bond, above. “Well, maybe there is, out there…”(Image credit: Universal)Ultimately, though, No Time to Die’s most crucial mi

Microsoft’s next-gen Xbox Series X console was announced last Thursday night at The Game Awards, complete with vertical monolith design. And, to be honest, we’re only just getting used to the idea that the next generation of Microsoft consoles is called the Xbox Series X, but now it seems that the Xbox Series X is just one of Microsoft next-gen consoles. “And at The Game Awards you saw that name come to life through the Xbox Series X.” That could mean we see equivalents of the more powerful Xbox

We’re still several months away from Cyberpunk 2077 ‘s April 16, 2020 release date, but this Minecraft build just might hold us over. YouTuber Elysium Fire dropped an eight-minute video showing the entire build process of the “Cyberpunk Project.” Since the full Night City map from Cyberpunk 2077 has yet to be released, this Minecraft build is not an exact replica, but an homage that was built by a fairly massive team (which may be why no two buildings look identical). Despite the size of the tea

Destiny 2’s beloved Exotic fusion rifle just can’t help itself. Enjoy your new fusion rifle primary. The storied tradition of abusing Telesto goes back to Forsaken, where Telesto’s rounds could be detonated to progress the ‘dudes killed’ bar in Blind Well. I don’t think the new special ammo bug will get Telesto disabled – although it could lead to some degeneracy in PvP – but you can bet it’ll be fixed soon. If only because this is the funniest monkey’s paw I’ve ever encountered, I’ll ask it aga
