Shortly after releasing an exclusive look at the game’s new revamped combat mechanics with Game Informer, Sony and Santa Monica Studio have now tapped to release another look at God of War: Ragnarok‘s gameplay, this time focusing on Krato’s elemental moves. Just like the lead combat designers Mihir Sheth and Denny Yeh explained previously, one of the biggest changes to the way the Olympian can take down his foes is to infuse the weapon he’s wielding with either ice or fire. With the Leviathan Axe, Kratos will be able to channel Frost Awaken to make his attacks stronger and slow down enemies, while the Blades of Chaos can channel a fiery Whiplash that’ll set opponents ablaze for some damage over time. There are also updates for both Stonewall Sheild and Dauntless Sheild that gives the ...

Almost two years after its release, Cyberpunk 2077 is finally getting its first proper expansion from CD Projekt Red, but you’re going to have to own a next-gen console or PC to play it. Just like the full game, the new Phantom Liberty DLC is also set in the crime-ridden Night City, where you’ll continue to play as V alongside Keanu Reeves’ Johnny Silverhand in what’s dubbed a spy thriller adventure. The task involves espionage work for the New United States of America, although other details revolving around the story remain scarce at this point. Most notably though, CD Projekt Red has decided to keep the expansion exclusive to next-gen platforms, meaning those on the Xbox One or PlayStation 4 will not be able to play it. On top of Phantom Liberty, Cyberpunk 2077 will ...

More than a year after announcing the game and months of closed beta testing, Gundam Evolution has finally received a release date from Bandai Namco Entertainment. The new team-based FPS title plays very similarly to Blizzard‘s fan-favorite Overwatch, featuring two teams of six Mobile Suits that will try to eliminate each other while capturing objectives. There’ll be timed respawns so you won’t get kicked out immediately after a death, but there’s also a countdown timer for objectives. At launch, there’ll be 12 different Gundam units to choose from, all of which are iconic in their own right, ranging from RX-78-2, Guntank, and GM to Sazabi, Zaku II, Dom Trooper, Turn A Gundam and even Barbatos. As you play through the three current game modes of Point Capture, Domination and Dest...

Rockstar Games could be ending support for Grand Theft Auto V. Penning a short note with a new “Thank You” page on the website, the video game publishers shared their gratitude for the love GTA V and GTA Online have both received for the past nine years. “Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online represent the combined efforts of our global team over many years,” the note read. “We want to acknowledge and thank everyone who has contributed to these games, from their original launch in 2013 all the way through to present day.” Although Rockstar Games did not confirm this, the successful porting of both GTA V and GTA Online to new-gen consoles like the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S earlier this March, along with the news that it is working on GTA VI, could suggest that the developer...

Sony‘s PlayStation 5 continues to be a difficult find for gaming enthusiasts everywhere. While this is the case, the gaming company shows no signs of stopping, releasing a customization option for the console, set to arrive later this Fall. Gearing up for the Fall season, Sony is releasing the Gray Camouflage collection for the PS5. The customization pack includes a set of new plates for the console, as well as the ones for the matching DualSense controller and Pulse headset. The muted grey camouflage design offers a fresher and more contemporary feel to the iconic console. As a nod to the PlayStation Shapes, fans can see them subtly incorporated into the patterned design. Those looking to order the new Gray Camouflage collection can pre-order starting on September 15. As for the DualSense...

While Netflix is hard at work trying to prevent users from sharing account details with their friends and family or just anyone outside the subscribed household, Microsoft is now looking for ways to accommodate that arrangement with its massively popular Xbox Game Pass. According to new reports, the gaming giant is now testing out new subscription plans that, while more expensive than your standard solo membership, will allow multiple players to share the account and all the games within it. The tier, named the “Game Pass Friends and Family,” is currently being tested in Colombia and the Republic of Ireland. Users in the latter country are being charged around $22 USD per month, which is a steep increase from the solo membership but you’ll be able to share the account with four other frien...

The race to produce the best gaming gear possible never slows down, and now Razer has introduced the new Basilisk V3 Pro, hailed by the company as the most advanced gaming mouse ever produced. Retaining much of its predecessor’s exceptional ergonomic form, the new mode has greatly increased its customizability thanks to a 13-Zone Chroma Lighting and Full Underglow, each of those areas boasting a choice of 16.8 million colors to suit your battle station no matter how it looks. The brand’s very own Optical Mouse Switches Gen-3 gives you a better tactile response while the 10+1 programmable buttons mean you’re able to tailor the device to become the ultimate extension of you across any game imaginable. The Focus Pro 30K Optical Sensor also works with a resolution accuracy of 99.8 percent accu...

Anyone who grew up playing the very original Halo games would agree that split-screen co-op is unquestionably one of the most fun and engaging ways to experience Master Chief’s alien-smashing adventures with your friends, but when the feature was removed for Halo 5: Guardians, it wasn’t only the fans who were deeply disappointed. At the time, 343 Industries boss Bonnie Ross called the mistake “a painful learning experience,” before vowing to bring it back for future installments. Despite everything that’s been said by 343, including the new season roadmaps for Halo Infinite that originally detailed the return of split-screen co-op, the studio has now backpedaled, scrapping the feature entirely. “We’ve had to make the difficult decision to not ship campaign split-screen co-op and ...
