It’s been a busy month for Overwatch, which has recently finished off its second-anniversary event. During the two weeks, players were able to play through play through a new seasonal event each day in the arcade as well as unlock content from any of the previously released events. Since then, however, things have gotten pretty quiet with the game, leaving many to wonder what could be coming next. After Brigitte launched earlier this year, Blizzard hasn’t said or teased much in terms of new heroes, but that may be coming to an end soon thanks to a very short teaser that has appeared online....

Jason Bateman has confirmed that Ozark’s fourth and final season is gearing up to start production in November. The critically acclaimed Netflix drama’s final run will be released in two blocks of seven episodes on the streaming service, hopefully in the second half of 2021. “We’re going to start [filming] November 9,” Bateman confirmed in a new interview with IndieWire. “Everything is moving well toward that, and we’re very confident in the guidelines and protocols we’re going to be following....

After a wild ride of a day, the news is finally confirmed: The Mandalorian star Pedro Pascal is set to star as Joel in the HBO adaptation of The Last of Us. The news was confirmed Wednesday night after a flurry of rumors put True Detective star and Academy Award winner Mahershala Ali in the role. However, it was later confirmed that Ali was considered but the deal never materialized. Now, via both a Deadline report and Naughty Dog itself, Pascal has been actually announced to play Joel....

Bungie will get back on a schedule of weekly Twitch streams where the developer will dive deeper into the art, lore, and design that goes into Destiny. Earlier this year, Bungie revealed that a newly built Twitch studio now resided inside the Destiny developer’s Bellevue, Washington studio. In a time when fans were feeling a considerable lack of content, Bungie began a series of weekly Twitch streams. It was a way to explore more of the world and the development behind Destiny, and to try to keep a somewhat waning community involved....

Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlords has been in Early Access for all of a couple of days, and players are already uncovering its special secrets–including the ability to play the game as an actual baby. Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlords is the long-awaited follow-up to Warband, the first game in the series, and it involves both one-on-one combat as well as army warfare. Players can take on the role of a medieval soldier, focusing on infantry, ranged, or cavalry…and apparently there isn’t an age limit for joining this medieval army....

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, important products in the gaming scene are in short supply. This applies to consoles and PC parts, like Nvidia’s RTX 3080. It’s so bad that Nvidia has said 3080 and 3090 shortages will continue into next year. Because of this, many are willing to pay a high price for the graphics card, and it is expensive. The typical price for a GeForce RTX 3080 is around $750 where available....

Motorsport Games, the publisher behind the NASCAR Heat series, is expanding their reach in the racing genre as they jump into kart racing and motorbike sports. The company has announced that they have acquired KartKaft and Digital Tales USA as they continue to flourish their brand in the world of racing games. KartKaft is a racing simulation from developer Black Delta that allows players to master the skills of a kart racer....

2K Games is now selling ad space in NBA 2K19 and preventing players from skipping it. Gamers expect simplicity when purchasing a game. We want to pay our $20, $40, or $60 (and sometimes $80 and $100) and be provided a whole game. Then the internet happened and it all went to hell in a handbasket. Suddenly, paid DLC and microtransactions were everywhere. Nowadays you can’t buy a whole game at all–you can just buy part of it, with the rest costing $20 extra in four easy installments....

The NBA season is off to a hot start and fans can’t seem to get enough of the action. Professional sports are at their best when the competition is high and underdogs or injured players are able to prove themselves in the spotlight. NBA 2K21 is the premier NBA game on the market these days and the designers spend countless hours trying to figure out how players should be rated. Sometimes they nail it, and other times it feels way off....

Activision and developer High Moon Studios got it right in 2010 when they released to nothing-to-do-with-Earth-or-humans Transformers: War For Cybertron, a game that earned praise from critics and fans alike. They got it oh so very wrong the following year with the rushed and ugly movie tie-in Transformers: Dark of the Moon, but we’re going to ignore that as we look forward to Transformers: Fall of Cybertron, one of Game Rant’s most anticipated games of 2012....

The Destiny 2 experience changed significantly after its highly anticipated expansion Beyond Light arrived last week. The New Light experience was overhauled with the return of the Cosmodrome destination alongside the introduction of NPC Shaw Han. In addition, four major destinations were placed into the Destiny Content Vault and a large portion of weapons were effectively sunset. While Beyond Light introduced its own set of new content including the frozen destination of Europa, Bungie has held even more content back to be introduced as the current Season of the Hunt progresses on....

Ultra Instinct Goku will be Dragon Ball FighterZ’s second character released in the game’s third season. His predecessor, Kefla, may have only arrived at the end of last month, but Bandai has already started promoting him. Dragon Ball FighterZ’s latest showcase for the character comes in the form of some new screenshots. Similar to how his reveal trailer handled him, the new images see Goku showing off his most powerful transformation against Universe 11’s Jiren....

Though sequels and remakes dominated the E3 games news (for good reason—who isn’t excited for Fallout 4?), this year’s expo was also the debut of several intriguing new IPs from well-known studios. While it’s hard to say what to expect when this is just our first glimpse of these new E3 games, it’s also hard not to get hyped about the exciting directions these games are taking, emphasizing and exploring creative themes, refining familiar combat, and blending genres for cool new adventures....

This month has already been rather active for Genshin Impact fans. Among other things, like the recently concluded Unreconciled Stars event, players have been treated to an unprecedented number of leaks and announcements alike. Almost all of the more recent announcements and leaks have had something to do with Version 1.2 of Genshin Impact, which is supposed to be the game’s next major addition. Aside from all new characters, narrative content, and the like, the just-released Developers Discussion confirms that Travelers can expect a plethora of quality of life (QoL) improvements as well....

New Pokemon Snap is captivating fans old and new, offering many their first taste of a game not centered around Pokemon battles, needing to snap em’ all instead of catch em’. Although to some Pokemon Snap may seem like a new concept, to hardcore Pokemon fans playing their N64 back in the late ’90s, this was the reboot we’ve all been waiting for. As the sequel to the much loved N64 classic, New Pokemon Snap had a lot to live up to for past fans, and it’s safe to say that it more than delivered....

It won’t be too much longer before gamers looking forward to the Resident Evil 2 remake will be able to sink their teeth into the forthcoming title, and Capcom is starting to ramp up promotion in order to further excite fans. Just today, for instance, the publisher and developer put out some fresh video featuring Claire fighting Tyrant, and now the company has released another gameplay showcase involving both Ada Wong and Leon S....

Verdansk has transformed from a war-torn hellscape into a neon-laced techno party in Call of Duty: Warzone – thanks to a new unexplained lighting bug. Most bugs in video games are synonymous with frustration and anguish, but this one appears to be a special case. Despite the blaring visual anomaly, the game is entirely functional. In some ways, this glitch is more like a Warzone mod rather than a hindrance. As it turns out, Verdansk actually looks pretty hip covered in a neon hue....

A multitude of glitches have plagued Call of Duty: Warzone since the Season 5 update dropped on August 5th. This time around, players are experiencing a strange bug that sees them spawn directly into the Gulag after dropping into Verdansk. Since the start of Season 5, Warzone has been filled with new and exciting content for players to enjoy. However, much of Season 5’s hype has been overshadowed by the slew of glitches and bugs that have been impacting players’ gameplay and performance....

Destiny 2’s grand NFL marketing experiment has finally come to fruition. Bungie revealed an endorsement deal with wide receiver Antonio Brown of the Pittsburgh Steelers more than a week ago. The deal was for Antonio Brown to perform a touchdown dance that had been arranged with Bungie, mirroring one of the science fiction shooter’s dance emotes. Unfortunately, Brown went without a touchdown in last weekend’s NFL game. Brown’s luck changed in game three when he received a pass from Ben Roethlisberger and ran in a touchdown in the second quarter, setting up the Steelers to tie the game at 7....

How many follow ups are there to Night of the Living Dead? Go on, guess. If you answered three, then congratulations, you’re one of the 12 people who remember Land of the Dead. But you’re wrong. If you answered five, then you’re one of the two people who actually watched of the last two Romero films. But you’re still wrong. I’ll tell you. I count 28. 28! I’m not joking. And that’s not counting the homages, parodies, or myriad “of the dead” and “of the living dead” titles that have nothing to do with Night of the Living Dead....
