“If you’re going to run, do it now…” In the depths of a South American rainforest, an unusually frail-looking Jared Leto stands at the towering mouth of a sinister-looking cave, propped up by two walking sticks, his long, stringy hair draped over a green overcoat that swallows his frame. A small group of mercenaries look on nervously, edging back towards the helicopter behind them. He takes a large knife and draws it across his palm, before holding his hand up towards the hi-tech cage positioned in front of him....

The new trailer dropped today for Mortal Kombat 11’s first story-based expansion, Aftermath, with the story picking up exactly where Mortal Kombat 11 left off.

This past weekend, Mulan debuted in Chinese movie theaters, and the reception was as cold as the avalanche from the animated film. Mulan, the latest live-action remake from Disney, debuted with only $23 million for the weekend box office. The news comes as a substantial blow to Disney, who had been counting on the critical territory creating financial success for the controversial film. The news comes from Variety Magazine, which reported the loss and the controversial events that negatively impacted Mulan’s appeal to China....

When we know so little about The Last of Us - a game quickly becoming one of our most anticipated - every bit of information we can glean is that much more precious. Thanks to a few brand new screenshots and details, an Eastern seaboard setting and a mix of melee and shooting combat can be confirmed, as can the engine behind the game’s gorgeous visuals. Considering Naughty Dog’s previous efforts the direction being taken for The Last of Us truly is as puzzling as it is promising....

While many fans were tuning in to the Call of Duty League Championships, they got to see more than just the competitive teams going head to head. During the games, the livestream was “hacked” to bring fans a little more information on the upcoming Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. Since the big reveal from Activision a few days ago, fans of the franchise have been excited to see more about Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War which is set to release later this year....

PlayStation Access livestreams gameplay of Final Fantasy 15 from this year’s EGX that shows off Regalia customization, a racing mini-game with Gladio, and more. EGX 2016 has already shown off copious amounts of Final Fantasy 15 footage – the first 40 minutes of the game, in fact – but there is still plenty of ground to cover. Another batch of gameplay from the folks at PlayStation Access highlights some of the game’s customization features, as well as mini-games and the like....

The Scribblenauts franchise may have just found the perfect licensing partner. According to a new rumor, Scribblenauts developer 5th Cell is working on a sequel that would feature various DC Comics heroes and villains.

Following the unexpected and massive success of Nier: Automata, Square Enix producer Yosuke Saito confirmed a couple of months ago that the Japanese company is planning to create a new title in the series, but it looks as if the most recent release still has some undisclosed content in store for those willing to look for it. As it so happens, the action-RPG’s developers recently revealed that it actually hides a secret that no one has discovered yet....

Tyler “Ninja” Blevins is no doubt one of the most popular streamers in gaming today. Ninja is known for his record-breaking streams of Epic Games’ Fortnite and arguably being the face of Twitch streaming, which is why it is not surprising that the streamer was the recent target of a malicious Instagram hack. On July 25, an image was posted on Ninja’s Instagram page, claiming to give away thousands of iPhone Xs’, V-Bucks, and many more....

Earlier this year, Microsoft made the shocking announcement it was shutting down its Mixer streaming service, effectively leaving top streamers like Tyler “Ninja” Blevins without a home. Ninja experimented with streams on different platforms, streaming on both YouTube as well as Twitch, but stopped short of committing to any service. Now Ninja has finally confirmed that he will be streaming exclusively on Twitch moving forward. Ninja made the announcement on Twitter, along with a short video showing off his new look....

Back in 2011, Bandai Namco released Go Vacation. It was a party game, featuring over 50 activities with varying themes - like skydiving, beach volleyball, and mini golf. Today, Nintendo announced that Go Vacation would be getting ported to the Switch. This will come as a surprise to many, as Go Vacation didn’t leave a particularly powerful impact when it came out. It has received “mixed or average reviews,” according to Metacritic, with a score of 64....

The era of sending four Nintendo Switch screenshots to Facebook, saving them to a computer, and then deleting them is over, as the latest firmware update lets you send screenshots and videos straight to a smart device. The Nintendo Switch is behind the competition when it comes to sharing media. The Switch has a dedicated Share button, but you can only save a couple of seconds worth of video footage at a time....

The timing could not have been better for this latest Nioh 2 update. After Sony showed off the rather stellar looking photo mode for Ghost of Tsushima yesterday, Team Ninja has added a similar feature to its hardcore ninja action title today. Players that update their games will be able to pose their characters in a variety of scenes to capture the perfect portrait. A post over on the PlayStation Blog describes what this update holds....

Those who haven’t played in a while and are just diving back in will notice myriad differences, including changes to older items, as well as all-new ones. One of the new items players will collect are Technology Modules, which are essential for crafting and building new technology....

As PC construction has become a more accessible hobby, technology like graphics cards are hot commodities. Nvidia is one of the more popular manufacturers, having broken into the streaming service market and put out crossovers like Cyberpunk 2077-themed graphics cards. Recently, rumors and speculations have appeared online regarding the company’s next-generation graphics cards, with one suggesting the Nvidia GeForce 3080 TI may be smaller than some would expect. An image of Nvidia’s GeForce 3080 line of graphics cards leaked in June, and while the products had a unique one-fan bowtie design, it was hard to compare them to anything in terms of size....

Getting a new GeForce RTX 3080 is a tough proposition due to an ongoing stock shortage that is supposed to last well into next year. Those that haven’t been able to get their hands on the hottest new video card the world has ever seen might instead want to just wait for the RTX 3080 Ti, especially if the latest rumor turns out to be true. Typically, Nvidia releases the Ti versions of their GeForce GPUs shortly after the release of their base versions....

Octopath Traveler is an RPG video game developed by Square Enix and released on the Nintendo Switch in July 2018, PC in June 2019, and Google Stadia in April 2020. It is also releasing on Xbox One in March 2021. The game takes place in the land of Orsterra and follows the journies of eight adventurers, all with different backgrounds and characteristics. While there are many, many pieces of equipment in the game, the Battle-tested items are some of the best when it comes to preparing the characters for…well…battle, of course!...

Turns out GhostWire: Tokyo – that game whose gameplay reveal trailer from the PS5 event a few weeks back is probably still fresh in your mind, and that looked a little like a horror game – ain’t really supposed to be a horror game after all. This is kinda weird news, because its trailers thus far have depicted suitably creepy things like headless Japanese schoolgirls and some sort of black spidery-haired apparition....
