Bungie will release the second expansion for Destiny 2, an update to the game titled Warmind, on May 8. The developer announced the Warmind expansion’s release date and name in a very low-key fashion — as part of an updated development roadmap that covers seasons three and four of Destiny 2. Destiny 2 season three will kick off with the release of the Warmind expansion. Here’s a look at Bungie’s updated development roadmap. The updated development roadmap moves a couple items out from the 1.2.0

Just a few days after their first ever NA LCS Championship, Team Liquid announced on Wednesday that they are teaming up with the International Medical Corps. The auction’s center piece is a signed custom shirts that highlight the team’s victory in Miami with the signatures of each of the five Team Liquid starters.

Warner Bros.’ cinematic adaptation of the video game Rampage is a pleasant surprise, successfully translating a simple arcade game into a carnage-filled summer blockbuster. The original Rampage video game’s inspirations were obvious: What if Godzilla and King Kong (oh, and a very large wolf) wreaked havoc on midwestern U.S. cities, bringing down buildings and gobbling up people? Rampage introduces Okoye as an imminently likable animal lover who shuns human relationships. There’s even an in-joke

This Fortnite trick is going around Reddit, and it’s both simple and incredibly clever. They know you’re there, which is fine. It’s important that you make sure they know you’re in there, and are watching you. Build a door in the wall behind you, and then jump out of your structure without using said door so they can see you leave. They’re going to assume you’re running around to try to flank them, and they’ll move forward.

The marketing cycle for Avengers: Infinity War is upon us, and that means we’ll be treated to (or forced to suffer through) an endless sea of behind-the-scenes videos and TV spots. But a new behind-the-scenes video, above, is a perfect example of how to tease a product well. The featurette expands the camaraderie at the heart of the first Avengers’ memorable, post-credits shawarma scene. This behind-the-scenes video isn’t anything significant, but it’s cute, and it fills me with the warm, fuzzy

This week’s Steam update seems to have nuked services like Steam Spy, promising to shut off the flow of publicly available user data. A post issued late Tuesday also said that Valve’s planning on implementing a new presence mode that would allow users to be invisible while still staying online. But, if you’re like most users, you probably didn’t pay much attention to the privacy settings at the time. The Steam platform update added quite a bit of granularity to the Profile Privacy Settings Page,

At the GamesBeat conference on Tuesday, former Sony Interactive Entertainment chief Andrew House spoke about the future of PlayStation and of consoles. During a talk with veteran tech analyst Mike Vorhaus, he speculated on the future of consoles, predicting that PlayStation 4 has a long life ahead. “I’m very bullish on longer life cycles for consoles”“In 2013, the vast majority of conventional wisdom was saying that consoles were dead,” House said. “I’m very bullish on longer life cycles for con

Overkill’s The Walking Dead is still a thing, folks. Originally announced in 2014, slated for a 2016 launch and delayed twice, it’s back again with some more promotional materials. In Overkill’s The Walking Dead, the four characters forming the multiplayer co-op shooter all have special abilities, skill trees and roles on the team. Overkill’s The Walking Dead, from the studio behind the Payday franchise, is coming sometime this fall to PlayStation 4, Windows PC and Xbox One. But if they’re annou

Aubrey “Drake” Graham was back on Twitch last night, once again streaming Fortnite with his friend and big-deal streamer Tyler “Ninja” Blevins. Toward the end of the stream, Drake and Ninja talked about whether Fortnite would get any callouts or samples on his next album. “Dude, you gotta put some Fortnite lingo in the album, man,” Ninja told Drake, who’s prepping his follow-up to 2016’s Views right now. “I say when Epic gives me the emote, when Epic gives me the ‘Hotline Bling’ emote, I’ll do i

If there’s even one teammate who decides to keep fighting and die outside the ship, you’ll all fail. Check out our quick debrief on the types of enemies you’ll encounter and the strategies to deal with them.
