Hyper Light Drifter will launch on Nintendo Switch this summer, the company announced during a media presentation today. While absent from this morning’s Nindies livestream, Hyper Light Drifter is a headlining indie game for the hybrid console. Nintendo fans will now have a chance to play Hyper Light Drifter, just over two years since its initial release. They have the GameMaker Studio platform to thank; Hyper Light Drifter is the second Switch game built with the development tool, following the

Fortnite’s building systems are what set it apart from other battle royale games, and players are embracing the new Blitz mode due to how quickly it gives you materials for farming. The harvestable materials are doubled in this new mode, which makes it much easier to build more walls and structures in each round. “It makes the base game mode very stale,” another player said. The Blitz mode allows everyone to build like wild with much less farming, which leads to some exciting, surreal matches fi

Sea of Thieves was released today for Xbox One and Windows PC. Sea of Thieves is a multiplayer open-world game set in the golden age of rather cartoony piracy. The game is also the first Xbox One exclusive to be available at-launch in the Xbox Game Pass subscription service. Previously, we played Sea of Thieves the day before it launched and experienced glorious, relentless griefing at the hands of better pirates than we.

Sea of Thieves will likely be a polarizing game; we’re already hearing from people who love its freeform nature and others who are frustrated by the lack of clear direction. And that lack of basic player education is most apparent in the first few minutes of the game. Sea of Thieves teaches you nothing, which is an issue in a game that introduces so many complications into what would be simple actions in other games.

After eight years on the air, the series that forever altered the face of Cartoon Network — and television animation — is coming to an end. Adventure Time’s four-part finale is “coming soon.”In late 2016, Cartoon Network announced that Adventure Time’s 10th season would be its last. The four final episodes are collectively called “Come Along With Me,” a lyrical line from the show’s end credits theme, eerily reproduced as only vocals with no backing track at the end of the above trailer.

Sea of Thieves is always-online, which means players will often bump into each other on the high seas. Right now, players on the Sea of Thieves Reddit board are hemming and hawing over the issue. Some agree with Larry Hryb that a good way to signal peaceful intentions is to point your cannons up to the sky, but others simply don’t see the need. Some might say that if you want a more peaceful game then you should have peaceful servers, or servers that only allow player-versus-enemy combat. With S

FLCL (pronounced “fooly cooly”) is coming back for two more new seasons — Progressive and Alternative, respectively — this year on Cartoon Network’s Toonami, and we finally have an official a trailer showing them off. A teaser announcing the new FLCL was revealed at Anime Expo 2017, though not much other information was released. The official trailer shows off another sleepy town with a new cast of characters joining Haruko on this adventure, like a girl with cat ear headphones and another weari

Video games have often used celebrities in an attempt to get mainstream attention, usually with awkward results, but Fortnite enjoys such a large audience that everything is flipped upside down. Now celebrities are using video games to try to reach people. Drake may be a huge fan of the game, but reaching out to the mega-popular streamer Ninja to play is the sort of PR that both musicians and video games would kill for. In the same week I met and recruited LeBron to the Steelers and played Fortn

In the world of game development, Hisashi Koinuma is a bit of an anomaly. Even after five years as the president of Koei Tecmo, Koinuma still finds himself with “producer” credits on many of its games. To someone used to working in the trenches of a game’s development, becoming an executive would typically mean less time to help in the construction of games, or none at all. Since becoming president of Koei Tecmo, Koinuma’s most frequent development role has been producer, including credits on Hy

Baseball 18, the latest entry in MLB Advanced Media’s revival of the old-school sports franchise, is launching today on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The game is already available on the Xbox Store, while the PS4 version has yet to go live on the PlayStation Store. It’s effectively a delay for those versions, since MLBAM previously gave a March release window for R.B.I. The developer has also added “hi res renderings” of over 50 Home Run Derby participants, going back to 2010. 18 and deliver a maj

Fantasy Strike, a fighting game that uses unique gameplay styles and elements, is coming to the Switch this summer. The game looks like a typical fighting game, with players fighting one-on-one and using unique skills to defeat their opponent. The difference between this and Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat, for example, is the weapons that players will be using. Nintendo described the game as more of a strategy fighter game than a button-mashing title. Fantasy Strike does not have a release date
