Dubbed Dragon Ball: The Breakers, the new Bandai Namco title brings together a group of seven players who’ll be transported into a mysterious land called the Temporal Seam. As Survivors, their goal is to survive the terrors of the eighth player, who’ll take on the role as Raider through one of the many notorious villains in Dragon Ball, including Cell, Buu and Frieza.

The general release for Battlefield 2042 was only two days ago, but the new EA title has already become one of the worst-reviewed games on Steam. Amassing more than 35,000 reviews over the 48 hours, more than 29,000 of those are negative, making the latest Battlefield installment the eighth-lowest rated game in the entire Steam library. While the game built incredible anticipation during its development period and arguably even through its open beta testing, the ultimate release was met with widespread criticism. Sparse maps with little to no cover, imbalanced and overpowered vehicles, buggy performance, bullet accuracy issues, a high time-to-kill and problematic hitboxes are among some of the biggest flaws of the game. “When [Battlefield 3] came out, I thought to myself, imagine...

Following its recent collaboration with Balenciaga, Fortnite has returned with an all-new, fashion-punched partnership with French luxury label Moncler. “Given Moncler’s roots in culture, dedication to collaborations through the Moncler Genius program, and the recent 6 MONCLER 1017 ALYX 9SM collection’s theme of light and dark, we felt there was a lot to work with between both brands,” Emily Levy, Senior Manager of Partnerships at Epic Games, told HYPEBEAST. Dubbed the “Moncler Classic Set,” the catalog includes the Andre and Renee outfits, both of which are inspired by the aforementioned 6 Moncler 1017 Alyx 9SM collection crafted by visionary Matthew Williams. In the game, as players are ascending the mountain near Catty Corner, constructing a tower or elevating in several different ways,...

Despite launching to massive popularity, the free-to-play multiplayer portion of Halo Infinite has been plagued by a few core issues since its release, the most significant one being issues with its Battle Pass progression. Thankfully, 343 Industries has now remedied the situation. Announcing the changes over on Twitter, the developer listed a series of tweaks to the system to ensure you’ll no longer be stuck at level one. Kickstarting the list of updates is a series of what Halo community manager John Junyszek calls “Play 1 Game” challenges, where you’ll gain XP from simply playing the game every day in the way that you want, ensuring consistent progression. To balance things out, the developer has also removed several weekly challenges from Battle Pass, fixing bugs for others a...

A group of more than 1,000 employees at Activision Blizzard has now signed a petition asking the developer’s CEO Bobby Kotick to step down. According to the petition — which includes both direct staff and contractors of the company — employees say they “no longer have confidence in the leadership of Bobby Kotick as the CEO of Activision Blizzard. The information that has come to light about his behaviors and practices in the running of our companies runs counter to the culture and integrity we require of our leadership — and directly conflicts with the initiatives started by our peers.” Since the publication of the petition, the company’s employee advocacy group A Better ABK has also launched a separate petition for fans of the company to show their support in removing Kotick. The latest d...
