Outlander has always been, among many other things, a political show, even if fans don’t think of it in that way. While later seasons of the Starz series have (mostly uncritically) waded into scenarios in which the show’s white main characters are not the easily identifiable heroes, Season 6 is poised to bring Outlander‘s Claire and Jaime more firmly back onto the “right” side of history (or, you know, hopefully… get your act together, Jamie!...

Blizzard releases the second animated short for Overwatch, with ‘Alive’ showcasing how Widowmaker gets the job done – confirming two more shorts to arrive before launch. As with any Blizzard property, Overwatch isn’t just a game. It’s a world to be explored and Blizzard will attempt just that, with the players, to the best of the studio’s ability. For Overwatch, Blizzard is trying something different than it has before. Plans include the release of several “animated shorts” which both showcase individual characters from Overwatch, as well as expand the backstory and lore of the world....

For many tabletop gamers, one of the more fun activities of the hobby is painting miniatures. After all, if we didn’t paint them, then we would be fielding squadrons of gray plastic against hordes of equally gray plastic. Not very exciting. You will also find that all game manufacturers, clubs, and shops will require a fully painted army before you can enter any tournaments.When it comes to Dungeons & Dragons and other RPGs, getting to the end of a dangerous quest and facing a gray stone troll (unless the stone is monotone plastic gray) isn’t much fun either....

In all of the kerfuffle over Resident Evil 6’s release date moving forward and Lost Planet 3 being announced, one piece of news was notably absent from Capcom’s big media event: a PC version of Capcom’s arctic shooter. At the end of the Lost Planet 3 teaser trailer both the PS3 and Xbox 360 were mentioned as platforms for the game, which releases early next year, but the PC was not....

Warning: contains spoilers for Peaky Blinders season six episode four ‘Sapphire’. “It’s a fascinating period in history that they’re moving into,” Sophie Rundle tells Den of Geek about Peaky Blinders season six. “Ada is astute enough and smart enough to see that it’s not a good thing, the world her kids are growing up in.” That’s putting it mildly. In ‘Sapphire’, a brick is thrown through the window of Ada’s Mayfair house....

It’s a big month for NetherRealm Studios as they’re now just weeks away from launching the latest entry in the long-running Mortal Kombat franchise. Mortal Kombat 11 continues the studio’s trend of pushing the technological envelope, while also attempting to bring new mechanics into the franchise such as Fatal and Krushing Blows. In a recent 166 rapid-fire question interview, Ed Boon revealed even more behind the scenes details regarding the game as well as some interesting non-Mortal Kombat tidbits, including a potential NeatherRealm/Marvel game....

EA has announced that James Harden of the Houston Rockets will appear on the cover of NBA Live 18. What’s more, players will be able to start their experience with the game tomorrow when a demo drops for both the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. “When I heard about working with EA Sports and being the cover athlete of NBA Live 18 I was pretty excited for the opportunity,” said Harden....

There has never – not once – been an occasion where Netflix has asked us if we’re still watching and we haven’t been, but it still feels nice to be checked on! Every month, when it’s not making sure we’re still alive, the streaming service brings us loads of original content to feast our eyes on, and here at Den of Geek we like to give you a pretty comprehensive list of what’s being added in the weeks to come....

Ah, the forest. The sanctum sanctorum of nature’s unbridled beauty. Whispering pines. Whistling winds. The clanking of creek water as it trickles through the veins of creation’s heart. It’s blissful serenity at its zenith. And in the snowy winters of the Northeast Corridor, it’s also the perfect place to prance around in a silver cloak and stab your unsuspecting prey in the face. While previous Assassin’s Creed III art drawings and screenshots have shown how our new Native American protagonist, Connor, would use the abundant and diverse terrain of the forest to ambush his Redcoat adversaries – often slicing them up with a tomahawk a la Mel Gibson in The Patriot – we knew from Ubisoft’s admitted Red Dead Redemption inspiration that hunting wild game was of equal importance to hunting the Most Dangerous Game....

Ever since 2020 began, a combination of League of Legends’ 10th season and stay at home orders across the world means more people are playing the game than ever before. While the past few months were filled with champion releases and reworks, several dead weeks since the previous Pulsefire event have resulted in players anxiously waiting to hear more about what else is coming soon. In response, Riot Games released a new video this morning teasing the next event: Spirit Blossom....

Production on Marvel Studios and Sony’s third Spider-Man film has been underway in Atlanta, Georgia for nearly a month. Now, a video taken from the set of the highly-anticipated film offers viewers a behind-the-scenes preview of one of the stunts performed by Tom Holland’s wall-crawler. Throughout Spider-Man: Homecoming, the first joint production between Marvel Studios and Sony, Holland’s Peter Parker was too infatuated with Liz Allen to notice Zendaya’s Michelle “MJ” Jones....

The release date for Insomniac’s PS4 exclusive Spider-Man title is still months away, but details about the game are pouring in this week. Gamers got an early look at how web slinging works in the upcoming game and, now, it’s time to look behind the scenes of the game’s combat system. Unlike in the recent Spider-Man movie, this version of Peter Parker is a little older and is very familiar with his powers and how to use them to take down foes....

The magic of a game like the original Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater is more-or-less a relic of the era in which it was released. Progressing to the end of the game, which can be defined as unlocking and completing its final stage, can be done in just a few hours. It made such an impact on countless childhoods, not due to a massive amount of content, but because of how fun it was to simply skate around in one of its numerous iconic skate park environments....

Ubisoft’s next entry in the long-running Assassin’s Creed series, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla doesn’t really hit the 60 FPS mark on NVIDIA’s most powerful graphics card in the market currently: GeForce RTX3090. A video posted by GameGPU featuring the game’s in-built benchmark-setting seems to confirm that. Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is Ubisoft’s 12th main instalment in this immensely popular franchise. The game builds upon the foundation laid by 2018’s Assassin’s Creed Origins and 2019’s Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, both of which leaned heavily towards the action RPG genre....

Outriders is a brand-new looter-shooter developed by People Can Fly and published by Square Enix. The game has gotten quite positive reviews both from the community and critics. The game is fairly long with over 25 hours of story campaign and after that, hours of end-game content. The game is released as a complete package with no DLC expansion. However, PCF has stated that they are not abandoning the game and are interested in creating future content for Outriders....

Overwatch 2’s new Rio de Janeiro map will be drawing inspiration from a surprising source—a classic Counter-Strike map. The map in question, cs_rio, was met with critical acclaim and quickly became a fan favorite upon it’s original release in 2001, and went on to inspire several imitators, and CS:GO’s Favela map. Word of the nod to cs_rio came from a source close to Thiago Klafke, Blizzard’s Senior Environment Artist, though there is no concrete information on how its influences will manifest in Overwatch 2....
