In exchange for our bug-catching, players will have the chance to catch the rare Shedinja for the first time. Shedinja will be the reward of completing a field research challenge sometime next month, according to the game’s Twitter. Shedinja is a third-generation bug/ghost-type Pokémon that’s only available through convoluted means in the mainline games. It sounds poor you’ll have to complete a series of research tasks in order to unlock a chance to capture Shedinja, which is a welcome change. F

Red Dead Redemption 2 is only on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One right now, but Rockstar Games fans say they’ve found a good sign that a Windows PC version could eventually arrive too. The game’s mobile companion app seems to hint that PC and perhaps even VR compatibility are in the works. Rockstar Intel dug into the RDR2 mobile app to find several strings that include words like “PC” and “Oculus.” Maybe we’ll see Red Dead on PC somewhere down the line. But we’re happy with the beautiful game we’ve g

But there’s one aspect of the show that isn’t receiving as much as attention as it should, and one I didn’t anticipate loving so much: FBI Special Agent Ray Nadeem. More than Daredevil, more than Karen Page, more than Foggy Nelson, Ray Nadeem, a new character played by actor Jay Ali, is the real hero of season three. When we first meet Ray, he’s celebrating his son Sammy’s birthday at a family party. Of course, as we learn later in the season, Fisk infiltrated the FBI and manipulated several of

In this event, both Horde and Alliance players head to the Night Elf territory of Darkshore to take part in the battle. It’s jarring, especially because the first act of the Horde in Battle for Azeroth is genuinely heroic. [Warning: This post contains potential spoilers for World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth patch 8.1, Tides of Vengeance.] My blood elf paladin, for instance, is committed to the defense of her home as the Alliance war machine moves north. In some ways, Alliance players feel li

This week, Polygon launched the Red Dead issue because, well, Red Dead Redemption 2 has finally arrived. There’s a lot to read up on, and once you’re caught up, there are plenty of ways to save some money on the game. Several retailers are discounting Xbox One S and Xbox One X consoles by $100 when you purchase Red Dead Redemption 2, essentially making the game free and saving you a handful of cash. The kit costs $59.99 (usually $79.99,) though you’ll also want to check out the Variety Kit and V

Red Dead Redemption 2 is the biggest game in the world, dominating the current conversation of video games and popular culture. You may have read stories about “crunch” and poor working conditions during the creation of Red Dead Redemption 2. On Oct. 14, 2018, New York magazine published a lengthy feature about the development and highly anticipated launch of Red Dead Redemption 2. Eurogamer, in a story published on Red Dead Redemption 2’s launch date, focused more on what they’ve gone through.

2 Type B — aka 2B — from Square Enix’s action role-playing game Nier: Automata. 2B will come armed with her dual blades, Virtuous Contract and Virtuous Treaty, and many of the combat skills from Nier: Automata, as seen in her debut trailer above. 2B will be included as part of Soulcalibur 6’s season pass, which also includes returning fighter Tira and two additional playable characters. The game’s season pass costs $29.99, and is included as part of the $89.99 deluxe edition of Soulcalibur 6. Th

The star of the Fallout 76 beta wasn’t the snallygaster, or the ever-respawning Grafton Monster. Like its predecessors, Fallout 76 uses its soundtrack to bolster the ambiance. The multiplayer aspect of Fallout 76 also means that for the first time, a Fallout game’s radio is… an actual radio. We don’t know yet whether there will be a DJ in Fallout 76; Appalachian Radio didn’t have one in the beta, but that doesn’t preclude the possibility. Here are some of the new songs that you’ll hear on the ra

When the development team for DC Universe Online puts together a new chapter, “usually we try to do one big thing that’s neat and weird, and we’ve never done before,” says S.J. That’s because DC Universe Online’s 33rd chapter heads undersea with Atlantis on Nov. 8, meaning players will need some means of traversing a new open world. Daybreak Game Company’s superhero MMO has gone to Atlantis before, but only in a limited sense, warping players into dry interior settings. A new mode of travel is a

Nintendo is celebrating the one-year anniversary of Super Mario Odyssey with a limited time in-game event: a scavenger hunt for pixel Luigi and Captain Toad. The hunt itself is simple; players just need to ground pound the area around the New Donk City festival to uncover 39 pixel Luigis and Captain Toads. The upside is that the anniversary event is a very easy way to earn 7,800 coins — almost enough to cover the cost of that game’s new Zombie Mario costume. Each 8-bit Luigi and Toad is worth 20

Some of them are remarkably terrible, but for the most part, Castlevania games hover somewhere between “good” and “masterpiece.”36. Castlevania: The Adventure(Game Boy, 1989)The early arrival of a Castlevania game on Game Boy should have been a signal to take Nintendo’s first handheld console seriously. Not now that the existence of a nice-looking Castlevania game with a great soundtrack is no longer a novelty. Castlevania Chronicles(X68000/PlayStation, 1993/2000)Yet another attempt to remake th

Peter and Sam won’t be investigating another crime — at least not on Netflix’s dime. The company announced on Friday that the, fictional, true-crime parody series, American Vandal, which ran for two critically-acclaimed seasons, will not be renewed for a third season, according to The Hollywood Reporter. American Vandal followed Peter Maldonado and Sam Ecklund, high school friends and amateur documentarians, as they sought the real answers to two mysterious crimes. While it may have been a radic

Some of the greatest games in the Resident Evil series are coming to Nintendo Switch. Capcom announced Friday on Twitter that Resident Evil, Resident Evil 0 and Resident Evil 4 will all be available on the hybrid console in 2019. Resident Evil debuted on PlayStation in 1996; Resident Evil 0 followed in 2002 for GameCube. The 2002 GameCube remake of Resident Evil is already available on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, as are remasters of Resident Evil 0 and Resident Evil 4. In the meantime, let’s all

Copyright Office revised its list of specific exceptions to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, also known as the DMCA. The same year that article was published, the list of exceptions broached the topic of video games for the first time. An additional section also calls out instances of DRM where online authentication is required in order to play games. Once a copyright holder shuts down authentication services, consumers now have the right to break DRM in order to play games. The list of exc
