Devolver Digital is returning to E3 on Sunday, June 10 with another late-night press conference. The publisher didn’t hint at what games may be revealed during its press conference, but announced in a press release that games will actually be revealed this year. “There will almost certainly be blood, possibly loss of life.”Devolver Digital E3 Press Conference 2018Sunday, June 10 @ 8PM PacificApologies in advance. pic.twitter.com/z22K4L0bC1 — Devolver Digital (@devolverdigital) May 18, 2018The pr

Fortnite will launch on Android this summer, Epic Games announced in a blog post detailing other updates coming to the game’s mobile version. There’s no more specific release date for Fortnite’s Android release, which is disappointing for those of us yet to buy into the iOS ecosystem. But perhaps the biggest upcoming addition is voice chat, a key feature of the console versions of Fortnite. There’s no release date for when the voice chat update will come to the game, much like the Android releas

His team-based shooting game LawBreakers was a flop. But Bleszinski’s fall is more than just the story of one man coming short of his goals. It’s a moment to reflect on the peculiarities of video game fame, its value and its costs. Fame through game development has always been a slightly discomforting notion. Just at the point when his fame looks least useful, he may already be finding it difficult to leave behind.

Blighttown is an area of the original Dark Souls that combined a high degree of difficulty in combat and navigating the environment with a punishingly low frame rate. And it looks like it was fixed in Dark Souls: Remastered. Digital Foundry scrutinized Dark Souls: Remastered to see if Blighttown had been improved, and the team came away impressed. While even an Xbox One X running a backward-compatible version of the Xbox 360 version of Dark Souls would often dip to 20 fps, Dark Souls: Remastered

E3 2018 officially starts on Tuesday, June 12, at 11 a.m. PT, when the doors to the Los Angeles Convention Center open for the show. The pre-E3 festivities kick off on Saturday, June 9, when Electronic Arts hosts its annual EA Play event, complete with a livestreamed press conference. ETWhat to expect: Electronic Arts promises news on the next Battlefield, BioWare’s Anthem and its EA Sports lineup during its EA Play 2018 press conference.

But sometimes, you don’t have to go look too deep to pull out the gems: We’ve got Nintendo Switch games from The Legend of Zelda and Mega Man out this week, alongside some other names we know. First up is Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition, which refines the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS game for Switch. Mega Man arrives on Switch on May 22, with both Mega Man Legacy Collection and Mega Man Legacy Collection 2. The collections are composed of the entire series of Mega Man games, from the original thro

Kingdom Hearts 3 captures the whimsical charm of Disney and Pixar’s animated films in an action-packed game that, even if you don’t follow the Kingdom Hearts series religiously, is likely to put a smile on your face. And though I am by no means a Kingdom Hearts devotee, I found myself thoroughly enjoying the experience, which is dazzling, lighthearted and visually spectacular. The game’s most grandiose attacks come in the form of Links, Kingdom Hearts 3’s brand of summons. Seeing the Kingdom Hea

Instead, the focus for Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 will be almost exclusively on competitive multiplayer and cooperative Zombies mode. “[Black Ops 4] is built to be expandable, adaptable, [and] it’s going to evolve over time,” he said. We learned that lesson in a big way with Black Ops 3. We didn’t necessarily build Black Ops 3 to be run like that. “I can’t tell you at this point in time what that’s going to look like,” he said.

Sense8 is getting one last hurrah, and Netflix’s new trailer for the two-hour finale promises it’s going to be an emotional affair. The trailer, seen above, asks a question that’s agonized philosophers for centuries: What does it mean to be human? It’s a question at the center of Sense8’s foundation, and one the two-hour finale appears to focus in on. In 2017, Sense8 fans rallied after the series, created by Lana Wachowski, Lilly Wachowski, and J. Michael Straczynsk, was abruptly canceled. This,

Lando Calrissian, one of Star Wars’ most popular characters recently reimagined by actor Donald Glover, is pansexual. “There’s a fluidity to Donald and Billy Dee’s [portrayal of Lando’s] sexuality,” Kasdan told the Huffington Post. It’s understandable: Solo is full of scenes between Han Solo and Lando that can be deemed flirty. Polygon has reached out to Lucasfilm to inquire whether Lando is canonically pansexual, and what that means for future Lando Calrissian films if they come to fruition. Co

Movie trailers have only gotten bigger in the last few years, earning their own teasers in the lead up to release. That’s led to this odd situation I’m in: obsessed with a trailer for a movie I’m not anticipating whatsoever and may never see. Below, I collected some of our staff’s favorite trailers for movies that otherwise only managed a “meh.”The Town looked like a movie made specifically for me. With such a perfect trailer, it’s a shame that the actual movie made almost no sense. — Austen Gos

No Man’s Sky’s next major content update is out this summer, alongside its debut on Xbox One. Hello Games, the developers of No Man’s Sky, released a teaser for the game’s “Next” update at the end of March. While limited multiplayer already exists in the game, Murray gave some examples that suggests the new iteration of multiplayer will allow for far more player interaction. Players will be able to group up with friends to survive, build, race and simply relax in the massive space world that is

Dom Hofmann, one of Vine’s co-founders, announced “V2,” a followup to Vine that could potentially launch by the end of 2018. But it’s that type of community support and engagement, Checchia said, that makes the V2 forums feel different from other communities he’s seen. People like Shae, a V2 forum member who launched a giant Twitter DM group with friends she made. “That’s another reason why I was so active on the V2 forum, because I saw the impact Vine made on the internet. Concerned people on V

In Monster Hunter: World, there are plenty of monsters to fight and tons of wonderful armor and weapons to craft. When you drop off items to be cultivated there after completing a quest, you’ll have more of any item you drop off. Since you’ll naturally be doing quests anyway, farming Might Seeds is a great way to make money while you’re off adventuring.

This week’s new game mode is Solo Showdown. For the first time, Epic is introducing a significantly more competitive mode as the limited-time mode (LTM). The 100 players with the highest score when the Solo Showdown mode goes away will get a V-Buck prize straight from Epic. In order to be considered an official entry into this competition, players must compete in at least 50 matches of the Solo Showdown mode. To help stop players from simply trying to spam the mode in order to raise their scores

During a livestreamed reveal event today, Activision debuted the first look at Call of Duty: Black Ops 4’s multiplayer features. There’s a lot of ground covered in the trailer, which Activision went on to discuss in greater detail following its debut. Certain characters from previous Black Ops games will return to feature in the campaign, for instance; Black Ops 4 also features gameplay tweaks, like giving each weapon its “own set of attachments” and using a predictive recoil pattern for guns, s

But players recently found some hints that a new Destiny 2 weekly event could be coming in the near future: Armsweek. By searching “Armsweek” on Bungie’s website, players can view a few new events that suggest one thing: locked loadouts. There is currently nothing else in Destiny 2 with locked loadouts, so these official activities couldn’t fit into any existing event. If Armsweek does become a new event, it would likely join the rotation of weekly events like Iron Banner and Faction Rally. Arms

Skull & Bones, the open-world pirate adventure announced by Ubisoft at E3 2017, has been delayed to the publisher’s 2019-2020 fiscal year, Ubisoft told investors today. The game was originally charted for sometime in the last six months of this year. Skull & Bones was shown off last June in Los Angeles at Ubisoft’s news conference. Ubisoft Singapore is the developer; the studio worked on 2013’s Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag, which featured pirate-themed nautical combat extensively. Skull & Bone
