  • Among the smaller new releases on Nintendo Switch eShop on Thursday, Nov. 30, is Mujo, a game that puzzle fans may have played back on their smartphones in 2014. But in bringing Mujo from mobile to console, developer Oink Games seemingly made zero changes. A gameplay video from YouTuber NintenDaan shows a good chunk of Mujo’s Switch version. But, hey, at least the game costs a full $9.99 instead of being free-to-play like its mobile counterpart, right? There are plenty of mobile games that are a

  • Players will be able to build their own blocky custom maps in Counter-Strike Nexon: Zombies thanks to the free-to-play game’s new Studio Mode. Studio Mode lets players create, play and share their creations in Counter-Strike Nexon: Zombies. A brief trailer, posted above, shows what Studio Mode is capable of. You can grab the Studio Mode update (and Counter-Strike Nexon: Zombies) for free from Steam, if you’re curious. Counter-Strike Nexon: Zombies launched in 2014.

  • Destiny 2 developer Bungie might’ve canceled a livestream meant to show off the gear that’s coming in next week’s Curse of Osiris expansion, but the studio published a brief trailer today to provide a glimpse of the armor, weapons and other new items. That may be enough of a tease for Destiny players at this point — after all, Curse of Osiris drops in five days, on Dec. 5. It’s one of the new emotes that are coming in season 2 of Destiny 2, which kicks off with the launch of Curse of Osiris next

  • Rather than spout philosophies on fandoms and world-building, Ehasz and Richmond are attempting to integrate their approach into the studio’s daily work life. “The thing I take away from Futurama and The Last Airbender is that the audience is very, very smart,” Ehasz says. Despite the inherently out-of-this-world nature of series like The Last Airbender, Uncharted, or Futurama, there’s a common thread of humanity that allows interstellar delivery workers, intrepid swashbucklers, or ancient mysti

  • All summer, Dragon Age fans were treated to Knight Errant, the latest in a long line of collaborations between BioWare and Dark Horse Comics.

  • Thor: Ragnarok’s final post-credits scene is a battle of emotions, as Thor and his brother Loki try to head into the unknown while maintaining a thread of hope. [Warning: The following contains spoilers for Thor: Ragnarok.] We’re left to assume that it’s not going to end well for the Asgardians, and a new still from the Avengers: Infinity War trailer confirms those fears. Once Thor defeated Hela, many of the gladiators left the eviscerated city with Thor, looking to start anew, too. Avengers: In

  • Just two weeks after a big update for Nintendo Switch fighting game Arms that added a brand-new fighter comes yet another update that brings one more brawler to the roster. Nintendo released the version 4.1 update for Arms today, which lets players select a new fighter, Springtron. He’ll look familiar to Arms players, as he’s effectively a menacing version of Spring Man. Springtron and Spring Man share the same set of arms, so whatever players have unlocked for Spring Man, they’ll be able to use

  • Thanos was revealed to us in the post-credits scene of the first Avengers film. Three years later, we’re able to see what Thanos looks like in his final form thanks to the first trailer for Avengers: Infinity War. His armor isn’t as regal as the costume he’s wearing in Guardians of the Galaxy. It’s fascinating to look back at how Thanos’ design has changed over the course of six years (with Avengers: Infinity War set to be released in 2018). Avengers: Infinity War will be released on May 4, 2018
