Nintendo’s next project for smartphones is Dragalia Lost, a role-playing game developed with its new partner Cygames. Out this summer in Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau, Dragalia Lost looks to be more story-focused than any of Nintendo’s previous mobile titles. That’s due in large part to Nintendo’s collaborator Cygames, a studio whose other credits include Japanese mobile hit Granblue Fantasy. Nintendo is smart to shack up with a company like Cygames that’s found continued success with mobil

Last week, the National Federation of State High Schools, the primary U.S. leadership organization for high school sports, announced that it would roll out esports nationwide. The move could add games such as League of Legends and Super Smash Bros. to the list of sanctioned high school sports such as football and water polo. Unlike traditional high school sports, esports is based on video games that are often brands owned by corporations. “There’s 8 million kids today who don’t play high school

Players jumping into Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery are experiencing the same shared frustrations early on in the game. Android Police’s Matthew Sholtz, who spent time with the beta version of Hogwarts Mystery, wrote about his own frustrations. In-app purchases vary in pricing, but there are items up to $100 being offered to players.

The new God of War is the first entry in the core series to not feature a sex scene. Even though the minigames have composed a fraction of the series, they’ve encapsulated the approach with which previous God of War games portrayed women as objects and their antihero as the brooding, entitled meathead. The issue in God of War was the gratuity and the presentation, which was, at best, tasteless, and at worst, contributing to the culture of toxic masculinity. Likewise, it’s not particularly intere

BattleTech, the turn-based strategy title from Harebrained Schemes, came out just last week. After playing through the first third of the game I was absolutely smitten with BattleTech. But, after spending more time with the game, I’ve stumbled on what I consider to be a pretty big flaw: Losing missions in BattleTech isn’t any fun. In 2012’s XCOM: Enemy Unknown, as well as the downloadable add-ons and the sequel that followed, there was always the chance that you could lose a mission. Losing a mi

YouTuber BRKsEDU suggested that the real-life cloth map included with their hard copy of the game wasn’t just decorative — it had text on it, written in runes that they had translated into English. That’s how BRKsEDU kickstarted what became a longer quest in transcribing the rest of the runes dotting the edges of the cloth map. Although the two are brothers, they are never seen together; according to the cloth map, that’s because they had a huge falling out. That ends up being on either side of

The Masterwork upgrade for this weapon is apparently a massive range increase, taking the gun from 60 range to the max of 100. At this point, the weapon will function like any legendary Masterwork, counting kills and granting orbs of light on multikills. Bungie did announce that not all exotic weapons will have catalysts available right away. If a catalyst slot is there, the exotic Masterwork upgrade is available. Exotic Masterwork weapons will launch alongside Destiny 2: Warmind and Destiny 2 s

First on its list: live footage of Super Smash Bros. for Switch, according to the company. Once the E3 showfloor opens that same day, attendees will get a chance to play t

Infinity’s plot is much more about Thanos attacking our planet because of his long-lost Inhuman son than collecting the Infinity Stones, so it doesn’t look like much of its story will be used in Avengers: Infinity War. For Avengers: Infinity War, the roster has been reduced to four, and one member has gotten a name change: Black Dwarf now goes by Cull Obsidian, while Supergiant has been cut completely. Let’s take a look at the four members of the Black Order, the Avengers’ primary foes in Infini
