Ariana Grande could be the next artist to join the world of Fortnite. According to reports, a reputable Fortnite leaker shared that the positions artist will be offered as a skin and will be holding an in-game concert some time in the future.

In addition, the leak hinted at the arrival of skins from Naruto, Justice League and Suicide Squad. The release of the two DC franchises are yet to be confirmed, however the Naruto skin (and an explosive kunai weapon) could be releasing as early as Season 8. The leak also touched on some Season 7 and 8 news, claiming that Season 7 – Chapter 3 will feature a completely redesigned map upon the return of The Cube (Kevin) who is controlled by a...
Despite the fact that Skate 4 will not be appearing at EA Play Live, the studio was nice enough to share a teaser trailer for the highly-anticipated game. The one-minute visual doesn’t feature any gameplay, but rather updates from the developers, behind-the-scenes clips and reactions from fans (like Rico Nasty) who were given a preview.

EA confirmed a new title in the Skate franchise during EA Play Live 2020 and established Full Circle, a new studio, to helm development. No other information has been offered as of writing. Watch the teaser trailer above a...
Last week, Ukrainian authorities busted a massive illegal Sony PlayStation 4 farm for what they believed was a crypto mining operation. As it turns out, the warehouse was actually grinding for FIFA Ultimate Team coins and cards. According to the Ukrainian business journal Delo, which undertook an investigation itself following skepticism from initial findings by the authorities, the 3,800 PS4s discovered weren’t actually being used to mine cryptocurrency, which makes sense given how their hardware and graphics cards aren’t ideal. It also pointed out that in many photos you can see game discs actually sticking out of the consoles. The Security Service of Ukraine has refused to comment on Delo‘s findings, explaining that the ongoing investigation must be kept a secret. For those un...

Netflix has hired a former Electronic Arts and Facebook executive to spearhead its new venture into gaming. Mike Verdu — the former Facebook vice president heavily tied to working with developers on Oculus — joins Netflix as vice president of game development.

Although a bold move, entering the gaming world is showing to be the right directi...
