With several months left until the launch of Mortal Kombat 11, NetherRealm Studios still has plenty of character reveals to make. But while the studio would love to keep to its strict schedule, there are bound to be leaks. Today, for example, hopeful Mortal Kombat 11 fans saw the Steam achievements for the game update and with them came some clues about returning characters.

The Mortal Kombat franchise has been a staple in the fighting game genre since its arcade debut back in 1992, with the most recent title, Mortal Kombat 11, recently releasing to a generally favorable critical reception. But it seems like the latest entry is not the only one turning heads, as the original Mortal Kombat has officially been inducted into the World Video Game Hall of Fame. The Strong National Museum of Play, situated in Rochester, New York, is a collection-based museum that houses this Hall of Fame, and for any game to be inducted, it has to meet certain criteria....

Ed Boon of NetherRealm Studios announces on Twitter that the next round of DLC fighters for Mortal Kombat X will be revealed during The Game Awards 2015.

TaleWorlds Entertainment’s Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord began its development in 2012, but Bannerlord just released in Early Access this March. This latest entry in a series of medieval strategy ARPGs that first came onto the scene in 2008 has been well received by players, with the game at an aggregate “Very Positive” rating on Steam based on over 100,000 reviews as of this writing.

This Nancy Drew review contains spoilers. Nancy Drew Season 2, Episode 2 Sea shanties truly are so hot right now. Yes, the musical sensation sweeping your social media plays a big part in the latest installment of Nancy Drew, as our favorite sleuth works to track down a nautical ballad that may hold the key to defeating the vengeful Aglaeca. Unfortunately, there’s not nearly enough actual singing in this hour for a plot involving sea shanties, and the bulk of the story isn’t so much about the vicious sea spirit’s backstory as it is a trip down memory lane with her last batch of victims, who all turn out to be faces we’ve seen before....

It’s been over a month since we had any updates on The Last of Us DLC add-ons, let alone a potential sequel to the critically acclaimed title (read our Last of Us review).

The announcement that a new Fable game is in development may have been Xbox’s biggest pre-Xbox Series X launch announcement, or at least it was until the Bethesda acquisition was made. Fable is one of the Xbox platform’s biggest first-party brands, but it’s also clear that Playground Games is going to be working on Fable for some time yet. Fans are still hungry for new Fable details, however, which makes it quite exciting to confirm that the narrative lead for Control, Anna Megill, is now working on the game....

Level-5 announced today that the latest title in the Layton franchise, Layton’s Mystery Journey: Katrielle and the Millionaires’ Conspiracy, is coming out later this year. The news comes via a newly launched official website for the upcoming Layton game, off the back of a bunch of marketing for the game’s release in Japan.

Things have not been going well for Capcom as of late. About two weeks ago, Capcom was targeted in a ransomware attack, and ever since the company has struggled to contain the damage as details about possible new projects in popular franchises like Mega Man have leaked online.

Just over a year ago we heard the first rumblings of a Power Rangers reboot universe, spearheaded by director Jonathan Entwistle. We haven’t heard much since but today we got our first glimpse that this universe is going to be bigger than any fan could have ever imagined. In a Deadline interview with eOne (which is part of Hasbro) President of Global Television Michael Lombardo discussed the company’s plans for upcoming productions, one of which is the new Power Rangers universe....

Ever wonder why Dragon Quest games are always released on a Saturday? There’s a reason for that. Popular games usually cause a dip in attendance either at work or school. Here in the West, we’ve just come to accept that as a society–both employers and employees have an unspoken truce to play the latest Call of Duty or Grand Theft Auto game as soon as it comes out regardless of what day of the week it falls on....

World of Horror is an upcoming retro-roguelite RPG published by Yrbryd Games, publishers of the hit indie cyber-punk bartending simulator VA-11 HALL-A. World of Horror combines an old school aesthetic with rich cosmic horror to create an experience so out there you’ll feel like you’re playing something really, really shouldn’t be. Developed by “one guy using MS-Paint” (according to the games Twitter account), World of Horror may not come across as a particularly deep experience....

There’s a good reason you’ve likely never heard of Olympus 2207. That’s because it’s a Russian total conversion mod of Fallout 2 that came out in 2014. It was only released in Russian, however, so non-Russian speakers didn’t have much of a chance at installation, let alone playing the mod. Which was a shame. Olympus 2207 was an ambitious project from mod team Nebesa Games to totally overhaul Fallout 2. Although the engine, assets, and some of the mechanics are the same, everything else has been entirely rebuilt....

The director of Resident Evil 2 discusses his excitement for the Resident Evil 2 remake, and explains how he encouraged his game developer peers to make it a reality.

The gameplay of Outriders is heightened by two particular areas, the game’s gunplay and the abilities that come with each class. These two areas of the game make Outriders a really stand-out title. To deal with the game’s challenges even better, there are a couple of skill traits that are unique to each class that you can unlock by leveling up. These skills or traits are passive abilities that provide you with bonuses and buffs....

The makers of Ouya hoped to change the console gaming world with their Android-powered platform. Now it appears they’d rather let someone else give it a go. The company, which shares the same name as its device, is reportedly looking for a lucrative acquisition, sooner rather than later. While struggles for the upstart aren’t exactly shocking, Ouya had been expressing quite a bit of positivity about the future of the console....
