Some devoted players went on to play the pre-alpha version of Cube World every day for years. For the rest of the world, Cube World was everything.

A new trailer for Death Stranding dropped today, showing Sam struggle to escape from an armed group.

Death Stranding will be released on Nov.

Borderlands 3 was released last month, and as it turns out, some of its bosses were a bit too strong. Developer Gearbox Software issued a hotfix on Oct. 3 to nerf three Borderlands 3 bosses, Gigamind; Katagawa Ball; and Billy the Anointed — the last of which was really a drag. For Billy the Anointed, Gearbox removed 25 percent of his health. Alongside Borderlands 3’s boss nerfs, Gearbox made a few balance adjustments to two Vault hunters, FL4K and Moze. The Oct. 3 Borderlands 3 patch should hit

The Stardust Blast event in Pokémon Go is returning for 2019. Hatching and catching Pokémon will reward double Stardust. Team Rocket battles will also give out double Stardust. This will make it so you’ll get quadruple Stardust from the tasks that are doubled, so you’ll likely be able to power up any of your Pokémon with ease. As your player level increases and you have to level up your Pokémon, the dust cost increases significantly — some Pokémon cost upwards of 10,000 dust to power up once, so

Pokémon Sword and Shield is just over a month away from its Nov. 15 release date, and there are still so many unanswered questions — the biggest of which is this: What’s in Pokémon Sword and Shield’s sausage? Game Informer asked Pokémon Sword and Shield director Shigeru Ohmori and producer Junichi Masuda during an interview published this week. In a Polygon investigation from last year, we found that people in the Pokémon universe do eat Pokémon byproducts, like Moomoo milk and Chansey eggs. In

Overwatch comes to Nintendo Switch next month and, yes, it will bring some Switch-specific features. “One of our designers plays this way and dominates,” Wes Yanagi, an Overwatch producer, told Australian website Vooks. Yanagi said gyro-aiming by itself is the reason to play Overwatch on the Switch. Iron Galaxy, which worked on the port of Blizzard’s Diablo 3 for Nintendo Switch, is handling this port, too. “Our goal was an experience where when you picked up the Nintendo Switch, you thought, ‘Y

Four Apex events had been held since 2009, each hosting some of the largest Smash tournaments in the series’ history. I believe it was the first time the Smash community worked with Gaming Generations, where the majority of rentals come from. They were so blown away by the enthusiasm of th

Shadow and Bone, a television reimagining of Leigh Bardugo’s best-selling Grisha trilogy and Six of Crows duology, was announced back in January. A spin-off duology, the Six of Crows books, took place in the same world but focused on a gang of thieves in the Amsterdam-inspired city-state of Ketterdam. Pulling from both series means that a wide assortment of characters makes up this first round of casting news. Alina is the center character of the Grisha trilogy, who discovers she has the rare Gr
