Two games are free for a week on the Epic Games Store: David OReilly’s Everything and 4A Games’ Metro: 2033 Redux. Everything and Metro: 2033 Redux are free for Epic Games Store users until Oct. 3. Games are offered for free each week on the Epic Games Store; if these don’t catch your eye, they’ll be two more soon. Before replacing the free games with Everything and Metro: 2033 Redux, Epic gave away six Batman games — Batman: Arkham Asylum, Batman: Arkham City, Batman: Arkham Knight, and the Leg

Right now, a role-play group known as the Fallout Five-0 are holding a public event unlike anything I’ve ever seen in a video game. The encounter was unscripted—as a group, Five-0 treats Fallout 76 as something like a D&D game, where leaders develop quests for the rest of the group—but the outcome of that fight has blossomed into a story of its own. After defeating the Vultures, Five-0 took the leader of the group, Warlord, as a prisoner. Trial of the Warlord Chapter One, “MEAT” Appalachians, we

Letterkenny’s season 7 trailer dropped today and it has all the antics we’d expect from the show. This season will focus on the Hicks putting on an agricultural call-in show, but it’s hard to tell that from the manic trailer alone. In addition to the Hulu trailer above, the Canadian streaming service that will host the show, Crave, also dropped a longer trailer. Letterkenny’s six-episode seventh season will start streaming on Hulu on Oct. 14. For Canadian viewers, the show will continue to strea

Fire Emblem may be a series about relationships, but the franchise has lagged in allowing same-sex pairings. Three Houses heavily suggests that certain characters feel love and affection for each other regardless of gender, and if you’re playing as a woman, you do have a handful of romantic options. Over at the GBATemp forums, tinkerer Ningyoplug shared a workaround that uses a save editor to trick Three Houses into believing that you are playing as your unpicked protagonist choice. It’s a bit o

AtGames acquired the royalty interest owed to GCC’s seven rights holders — effectively, the right to be paid whenever the Ms. Pac-Man work is used commercially. It follows a federal lawsuit from Bandai Namco alleging that AtGames misrepresented itself as licensed to make Ms. Pac-Man products, and created or even distributed Ms. Pac-Man mini-cabinets under those claims. However, the company did comment to underline the nature of the rights AtGames bought and the ones Bandai Namco has and controls

Contrary to earlier statements, Naughty Dog has confirmed that The Last of Us Part 2 will not have any multiplayer components. One of its developers confirmed the lack of multiplayer to Polygon at a press event in Los Angeles this week, reversing earlier statements that indicated the game would not be a strictly single-player experience. “Multiplayer will not be included with The Last of Us Part 2,” said Anthony Newman, the game’s co-director. “I know we had kind of announced that [it would have

Microsoft has announced the four games that’ll be included with its Xbox Games with Gold program in October, kicked off by Disney Bolt on Xbox 360 and Tembo the Badass Elephant on Xbox One. Friday the 13th: The Game and Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge — for Xbox One and Xbox 360, respectively — will become available on Oct. 16. Ninja Gaiden 3 will stay around until Oct. 31, while Friday the 13th: The Game will stay free with the program until Nov. 15. Xbox One users are able to play the 360 games v

Battlefield 5’s newest update, launching today, doesn’t include a private games option, another setback that a restive player community isn’t taking well. But the latest guidance says Chapter 5’s content is “starting fall 2019.”“When can we expect this information?” wrote EverythingWillBeLost. “I feel like there is a lot of people disappointed on the issue of private games … ‘Coming during Chapter 5’ doesn’t cut it. For all we know it could be anywhere from October to February before we see Pr

Electronic Arts gave Star Wars fans a new look at its upcoming action-adventure game Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order in a new trailer released on Thursday. It’s a look at the journey of the game’s hero, Cal Kestis, and the Imperial enemies he’ll face in his galactic adventure. Cal finds himself in over his head as he’s hunted by the Galactic Empire’s Inquisitorius, but encounters a ragtag group of allies who share “a common enemy … and a common cause.” Cal’s on the hunt for something ancient and

I got some distressing news as I was trying out Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast on my PlayStation 4 last night: There’s no inverted y-axis aiming in this game! Jedi Outcast hit the PlayStation Store (also Nintendo Switch eShop) yesterday for $9.99 and I gobbled it up pronto. “It should be available on both Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 in the coming weeks,” Aspyr said. Originally launching in 2002, this is the first appearance of Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast on a PlayStation platform. As for my o

Thirteen heroes are receiving buffs or nerfs as part of developer Blizzard Entertainment’s Sept. 24 testing patch, including D.Va, Sombra, Winston, Tracer, Doomfist, and Symmetra. Blizzard is calling the patch a “remaster” that will “require a relatively large download for all platforms,” according to the patch notes. Everyone elseLúcio, D.Va, Mercy, Winston, Roadhog, and Tracer are all getting buffs in the latest testing patch, while Sigma, Orisa, Baptiste, Doomfist, Moira, and Symmetra are bei

Developer Virtual Basement and publisher Blue Isle are working on a Quidditch video game — though not technically Quidditch — called Broomstick League. Broomstick League will enter early access “soon” on Steam, but the game will also be playable at TwitchCon 2019 from Sept. 27 to 29 in San Diego. Anyone vaguely familiar with the Harry Potter franchise should quickly grasp the concept: Two teams of wizards flying around on brooms compete to score goals. For those not familiar with Harry Potter, l

Oculus Quest is Oculus VR’s stand-alone virtual reality system that runs without a gaming PC — but now it works with computers, too. During its Oculus Connect 6 event held today in San Jose, Oculus VR announced Oculus Link, which allows Quest users to play Oculus Rift content and games from their PCs. “It works by using deep learning to understand the position of your hands and fingers using Quest’s onboard cameras, then translating this into VR,” Oculus VR said in its announcement post.

Wattam, the next game from Katamari Damacy and Noby Noby Boy creator Keita Takahashi, is coming to PlayStation 4 this December, Sony and publisher Annapurna Interactive revealed during its State of Play livestream presentation today. In Wattam, players will control a variety of objects, from the green, cube-shaped mayor to cheerful flowers to smiling toilets and even a variety of multicolored, just-happy-to-be-here poo swirls. Some of those living objects will ask you do them favors, but sometim

An all-new trailer for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare was released today, and it finally lifts the veil on the military shooter’s single-player campaign. The trailer focuses on Captain Price, a fan favorite of the Call of Duty series. The trailer includes multiple scenes of terrorists doing their worst, including wearing bomb-laden vests and deploying chemical weapons on civilian populations. Today’s trailer, which was released during Sony’s State of Play presentation, is shot through with moral a

Square Enix is sticking with tradition when it comes to the Final Fantasy 7 remake’s box art. The publisher revealed the Final Fantasy 7 Remake packaging art on Tuesday, which will no doubt inspire pangs of nostalgia in players. We’ve asked Square Enix how it plans to note this on the game’s packaging. In addition to the box art reveal, Square Enix also released a fresh batch of screenshots from Final Fantasy 7 Remake and direct-feed gameplay video that debuted at Tokyo Game Show 2019. Final Fan

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, the latest addition to the storied Call of Duty franchise, isn’t out yet. One thing that I absolutely hope they do not address is the fast melee perk, which pro streamer Michael “shroud” Grzesiek showed off in a recent stream. When edited by a fan into a montage set to the Mortal Kombat theme, the true potential of the fast melee perk becomes apparently immediately. This is no small speed increase; it’s enough to turn a normal soldier into a fast-punching, quick-sta
