After a tumultuous season of competitive PvP, Bungie is overhauling the game mode for Destiny 2: Forsaken. Bungie has even gone back on its word regarding the exclusivity of the Redrix’s Claymore, although with a minor caveat. The competitive mode will also be a bit less punishing and more interesting. The pinnacle rewards — like the Redrix’s Claymore in season 3 — will now drop from quests, not a simple rank unlock. However, Bungie will offer players a chance at Redrix’s Broadsword, a gun with

Far Cry 5’s third and last premium expansion, Dead Living Zombies, will launch Aug. 28, Ubisoft announced today. Dead Living Zombies promises “over-the-top zombie experiences” starring Guy Marvel, the schlocky director who is found filming Blood Dragon 3 in the main game. Dead Living Zombies is, as you can see in the trailer above, basically a vehicle to introduce undead adversaries into the game’s world of Hope County, Montana — which, in Far Cry 5, was beset by cultists but no actual zombies.

The Indie Megabooth has grown to become a fixture at the annual PAX conventions all around the United States. But no single Megabooth is quite as mega as the one that gets thrown up at PAX West in Seattle, Washington, each year. Today, the Indie Megabooth crew released a massive, nearly 20-minute-long trailer including clips from every title, including participants in the tabletop category. Whether you’re headed to the convention or not, it’s an excellent sampling of the latest efforts by indie

With the third installment of the Star Wars sequel trilogy still over a year away, Disney’s Star Wars Resistance has emerged to fill the content void. The series, which takes place prior to the events of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, premieres Oct. 7 at 10 p.m. ET on Disney Channel. The series was created by Star Wars cartoon veteran Dave Fiolni, who worked on both Star Wars: The Clone Wars (which was recently revived on for a final season) and Star Wars Rebels. Star Wars Resistance will premier

Last week, PUBG Corp., the developers behind PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, unveiled a development road map that it called “Fix PUBG.” This plan included a thorough and ambitious list of in-game technical improvements to make PUBG more playable, smoother and less buggy. Today, the first of those changes were put into patch notes and are being prepared for live servers as a part of PUBG PC update 20. Before we get to the technical fixes, let’s take a look at some of the additions to the game. Wit

Harry Potter fans never wanted Harry Potter to end. Fan-created Potter content never went away, but today, the passion for those creations rarely reaches the fervor of the 2000s. Potter Puppet Pals, The Shoebox Project, and A Very Potter Musical were all made while Pottermania was still at its peak. Potter Puppet PalsMusician Neil Cicierega was only a teenager when he created the first Potter Puppet Pals as a surprise for his sister, Emmy. “A group of us went up to San Francisco to attend a Harr

To pay tribute to some of these previous iconic Spider-Man moments and in anticipation of the upcoming game, fans have remixed the PS4 Spider-Man’s trailer with audio and clips of the web-slinger’s previous appearances. Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man movies boast an action-packed score from Danny Elfman, and it fits all-too-well with the action-packed footage. A dubstep remix of the Spider-Man theme song already exists, so why not use that? Michael Bublé did a jazzy cover of the Spider-Man theme for

It was a game, Ready At Dawn said, that set the foundation for sequels and deeper lore. Polygon: The Order: 1886 came out over three years ago and you all have released two or three games since. It did a lot of things with world building and storytelling that hadn’t been explored much at that point. Do you kind of feel The Order is similar, in that it’s a game that really appeals to other game developers? I think that’s one of the things that we did find out.

The Spyro Reignited Trilogy, which was scheduled to hit PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on Sept. 21, has been delayed to mid-November, developer Toys for Bob announced this week. Paul Yan, co-studio head at Toys for Bob, said on the Activision blog that the Spyro Reignited Trilogy needs “more love and care.” Here’s his statement:Everyone here at Toys for Bob is so proud to be reigniting the original Spyro trilogy after all these years. We’re deeply committed to getting these games right, so we’ve dec

Pokémon Go’s summer of the Regi-trio — Regice, Registeel and Regirock — is coming to a close. Raid Battles featuring Regirock, the rock-type legendary Pokémon native to the Hoenn region, are now in-game through mid-September. The rock-type (duh) Regirock takes the place of Registeel (a steel-type), the most recent timed-exclusive legendary to post up at gyms worldwide. Pokémon Go’s meta doesn’t have much of a need or place for the group, and capturing them in Pokémon Go is less interesting than

Stardew Valley taught me something I would’ve never known about myself: I like farming sims. The game’s familiar pixel-art visuals belie a much darker tone than Stardew Valley and the like right from the start. This arduous task-driven story progression is where Graveyard Keeper sets itself apart from other farming sims. Too often when I’m playing the calming Stardew Valley, I find myself wondering what to do next. And that’s not something I get out of my casual life in Stardew Valley — nor do I

Electronic Arts tapped Battlefield writer Jeff Landa to decode this week’s new trailer for Battlefield 5, and in a lengthy blog post, he debriefs fans on four new maps and the game’s elaborate movement system. The second map, called Devastation, shows the same city weeks after a fierce bombardment. The game’s showcase level, which accompanied its reveal in May, is said to be set in France. Landa said the bridge itself was the single largest structure ever created for a Battlefield game. Througho

Twitch is alerting broadcasters that some of their messages may have been exposed following a glitch that affected the system in May. A number of streamers received emails from the company concerning private messages sent in Twitch’s old “Messages” feature. Twitch got rid of the “Messages” feature in May, but gave streamers the option to download their archives before it was completely removed. A Twitch representative told Polygon:In May, we removed a legacy feature called Messages and provided

Dontnod Entertainment’s Vampyr is being adapted for television by Fox 21, the studio behind series like Sons of Anarchy and Homeland. Joining Fox 21 in the series adaptation are Wonderland Sound & Vision, the production studio founded by Charlie’s Angels director McG, and DJ2 Entertainment, which is co-producing the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog movie. DJ2 Entertainment is also working on another Dontnod project, Life Is Strange, which is also being adapted for television. “We believe [Vampyr] is

Nonetheless, Nintendo Switch eShop has a handful of downloads to check out before September, including a preview of the first Switch game from a huge franchise. Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate is a Nintendo Switch version of the expansion to 2016’s Nintendo 3DS entry in the series. That game, Monster Hunter Generations, received praise from what was back then a smaller fanbase — a dedicated niche that already knew the Monster Hunter ropes. Things have changed since then, however, as Monster

Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, a game where you work together with friends to defuse explosives, is now available on the Nintendo Switch. Development of Keep Talking started in 2014 as a result of the Global Game Jam. The new version for Nintendo Switch more accurately approximates that original VR experience. The Switch port transforms the game from an exclusive, cumbersome VR experience to a true party game. Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes is also available on the PlayStation 4, with VR an

Nintendo’s four biggest Switch games are discounted by 25 percent at Amazon, Best Buy and Walmart.

Earlier this week, Voltron: Legendary Defender Joaquim Dos Santos posted an open letter to the Voltron fandom several days after the release of the series’ seventh season. In the letter, Dos Santos acknowledged the controversy surrounding Adam, Shiro’s ex-boyfriend who briefly appeared in season seven. “I’d like to say that we created this version of Voltron with the intent of being as inclusive as possible within the boundaries given,” Dos Santos wrote. Related Voltron showrunners talk end of s

When first advertised months ago, “Cold Days” seemed like a return to form: Batman faces the latest machination of Mr. But even if you simply describe the surface arc of “Cold Days,” you can see that it’s a twist on an old standard. Then the classic Batman beats take a sharp turn“Cold Days” Part One actually opens with Bruce Wayne reporting to Gotham’s South Courthouse for jury duty. So it makes sense that the first thing Bruce Wayne would do after his wedding was a disaster is to throw himself

Allow me to introduce you to the Genestealer Cult. An early 2018 issue of White Dwarf, the Games Workshop enthusiast magazine, contained rules to play the Genestealer Cult in Necromunda. So, earlier this week, Games Workshop released the rules for playing the Genestealer Cult in Necromunda free online. Finally, with this 10-man team you’ve got the start of your very own Genestealer Cult army for the vanilla 40K tabletop experience. If you’re eager to get away from the screen and start painting o
