There is currently a competition running to see who can get banned from the US Army Esports Discord channel the fastest. The US Army has been in the world of gaming for some time. It’s an ideal space to find recruits, what with the popularity of Call of Duty and all that. The Army even has its own Esports teams that compete in Call of Duty League. The Army also has a social media presence that is “hip and with it,” as the kids say....

Monster Hunter Rise’s big update has finally launched, and it has brought with it a whole host of brand new quests and creatures for you to slap with your hammer. The Free Title Update 2.0 brought with it plenty of brand new things to do, and hunting the powerful Bazelgeuse is just one of them. Bazelgeuse wasn’t even announced in Capcom’s MH Rise livestream, and hunters were surprised to see a quest for the creature waiting for them once they’d downloaded the game’s latest update....

Whether it was ready or not, Capcom’s plans for Monster Hunter Rise have been revealed by vigilant data-miners claiming to have gathered over a terabyte of data on coming projects. Originally scheduled for release on the Nintendo Switch, Monster Hunter Rise and Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin are apparently receiving PC ports sometime after their anticipated releases in March 2021 and summer of 2021, respectively. The canonical sequel to the massively popular Monster Hunter World, Monster Hunter Rise marks the next main installment in the series, with such titles historically bringing a slew of new features, mechanics, improvements, monsters, and more to the ever-evolving hunting formula....

Despite its obviously lucrative nature, game streaming platforms like Twitch are still being shaped as an industry. It’s been a rough year for Twitch for many reasons, and it looks like that’s not about to stop. Twitch provides a platform for players to stream long play sessions of games either alone or with friends. It has become incredibly popular over the years, rising head and shoulders above competitors, however, it’s not without its fair share of controversy....

While plenty of attention has been paid to Mortal Kombat 11 newcomers such as Geras and The Kollector, there’s no doubt the classics have received plenty of love as well. After all, most Mortal Kombat 11 competitive play tier lists rank Raiden and Scorpion rather high, with fan-favorite Sub-Zero having a reasonable position in the B tier. However, it appears that Sub-Zero has a significant glitch that, if done properly, could give him a distinct advantage - that is, he can be turned invisible....

In Mortal Kombat 11, one of the primary ways players earn cosmetics and unlockables is by opening chests in the Krypt. The Mortal Kombat 11 Krypt chests require various currencies to unlock, such as Koins, Souls, or Hearts, which are primarily earned by playing different game modes. Once Mortal Kombat 11 players have enough currency to open chests, the next step is exploring the Krypt and finding chests to open. However, the Krypt is kind of like a maze, and so it’s easy to skip chests....

Mortal Kombat’s Joe Taslim (aka Sub-Zero) is one of the hottest martial artists on screen right now. It’s been a decade since his breakout film The Raid took the world by storm, and Taslim has consistently delivered high-octane action with dashing panache ever since. As movie martial arts masters go, few others are on Taslim’s level. While most action stars have some martial arts training in their bag of tricks, Taslim is more invested than most....

The recent Mortal Kombat movie released to a polarizing reception. Some think it is one of the finer movie adaptations of a video game, while others found it wholly disappointing. Those in the latter category still have the original 1995 movie to enjoy. With these two movies’ existences, the next several years of the MK fandom will see people arguing to the ends of the earth about which film is better....

The year was 1987. Whitney Houston was dominating the radio, The Simpsons debuted on television, and Arnold Schwarzenegger helped usher in a brand new science-fiction franchise with Predator, which included Carl Weathers co-starring in the memorable supporting role of Major George Dillon. Fast forward to 2015, and Predator is a pop culture icon to this day. So much so that the titular creature, the Predator, is set to be included in future DLC for the extremely popular fighter Mortal Kombat X as a part of the Prey Pack....

Although Lionhead Studios has now closed its doors, a leak suggests that the developer had plenty of potential buyers before it officially closed last month. Many gamers were shocked and disappointed when Lionhead Studios was closed down. The developer, which had been responsible for a number of beloved franchises such as the Fable series and Black & White, was shut down by owner Microsoft, alongside the cancellation of asymmetric multiplayer title Fable Legends....

Prepare to go beyond on your smartphone, because My Hero Academia: Ultra Impact is coming to iOS and Android devices sometime next year. Currently, it only has a Japanese release, but as My Hero Academia’s a big property (it’s massive in the U.S.), we expect a localization of this to come shortly after. Gematsu reported that the game was announced during the latest Famitsu magazine and will be a “hero quirks explosive battle RPG....

NBA 2K21 has sold eight million copies despite its new $70 price point. The basketball simulation game, which was released on September 4, 2020 for Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One, and Stadia, and on November 12, 2020 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, has seemingly been unaffected by its $10 price hike. According to Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick, “In terms of frontline pricing for NBA 2K21, I think that worked out very much as expected....

Roguelike and dungeon crawler fans have likely had their eyes glued steadfast to Necropolis for some time now, as the procedurally-generated slasher has looked promising throughout its development cycle. The game is a product of Harebrained Schemes, a studio which has previously enjoyed plenty of success on Kickstarter, and as the foreboding name implies, Necropolis is a death-heavy title, with permadeath playing a key roll in the challenge. Those new to Necropolis are thrown into the mix from the get-go: the controls are scrawled onto the dungeon wall at the start of the game, though testing out the best combat strategies and how to actually survive is strictly trial-and-error....

With all of the buzz coming out of E3 surrounding the cinematic, QTE-heavy portions of Need For Speed: The Run, it may have been easy for some of us to forget that the game is, first and foremost, a Need For Speed game. The newest trailer for The Run shows off some of the more recognizable, fast-paced racing that the previous titles developed by Black Box have become known for. If we know one thing about the newest ‘Run For The Hills’ trailer, it’s that Jerry Bruckheimer would certainly approve....

We missed this over the weekend, but New Blood Interactive has turned its wacky co-op sci-fi game Unfortunate Spacemen into a free-to-play title. Launched during this weekend’s PC Gaming Show 2020, the game is 100% and 100% awesome. You can grab it on Steam right now and partner up with up to 15 friends to cause space hijinks. There are some cosmetic microtransactions available in-game for purchase, but nothing content-wise is being sold....

Studio Ghibli, perhaps the most well known Japanese animation studio in the west, will soon be releasing a new film that didn’t include any of the senior staff. The studio responsible for dozens of beloved films over the decades, including Spirited Away, My Neighbor Totoro, and Howl’s Moving Castle, has also lent their talents to shorts, commercials, and video games. Of the 10 highest grossing animated films ever made in Japan, six are Ghibli titles, and five of their films have been nominated for Academy Awards....

Soul Calibur VI has a fall-themed update that includes a cosmetic item and new QoL upgrades. Available in the creation mood is a Jack-O’-Lantern that you can add to the current roster or your own custom characters. It’s been added to the PS4, Xbox One, and Steam versions of the game. In addition to the Jack-O’-Lantern, there is a bunch of quality of life improvements. In Casual Match mode, the WAITING sign does not become READY until players and spectators return from the battle....

CD Projekt has announced that a Kickstarter campaign for a new board game called The Witcher: Old World, a card-driven adventure game designed for 2-5 players, will launch in May, with delivery expected by April 2022. The game, which is being designed with board game publisher Go On Board, is set years before the saga of Geralt of Rivia in an era when monsters freely roamed the Continent. “Players take on a role of professional monster slayers who recently completed their brutal training in one of the witcher schools: School of Wolf, Viper, Cat, Bear or Griffin,” CD Projekt stated in its press release....

It was teased late last year, and later confirmed by the Birdman himself: a new Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater is in development at Activision and is currently slated for a 2015 release. Not much information about the next installment to the long running franchise has surfaced since then. Earlier today, however, a photo hit social media, potentially revealing the game’s title. Tony Hawk’s caterer snapped a photo (seen below) at an event featuring the upcoming game....
