A new official Overwatch comic has been released starring Lena Oxton, better known as by her code name of Tracer. This has been the latest Overwatch comic since the release of the Retribution comic back in 2018. To celebrate the release of this brand new comic, Overwatch will be holding a limited-time challenge event that will be starting on September 15th, 2020. This challenge is called Tracer’s Comic Challenge and will allow players to get a brand new skin for Tracer that will be exclusive to this event....

Ever since the Overwatch League was announced, it’s been clear to all fans that Blizzard is going to be using all available resources to push the competition further into the public eye. The developer seems to be looking to emulate the success of major organizations such as the NFL and NBA, and it seems that team uniforms are going to be part of the deal. Blizzard has confirmed that Overwatch League-affiliated skins will be coming to the hero shooter in the near future, and two of them have already seen a reveal....

Nintendo surprised a lot of fans recently as, without warning, they dropped the trailer to a brand new Paper Mario game called Paper Mario: The Origami King. The newest installment of the iconic franchise, which is slated to release on July 17, will hope to re-capture the hearts of many fans of a series that have distanced themselves from newer installments. In the two-minute trailer, we got to see plenty of gameplay footage....

Viewers of Marvel’s Moon Knight may have noticed that episode 3 was dedicated to the memory of French actor Gaspard Ulliel, who plays black market antiquities collector Anton Mogart in the episode. He ends up clashing with Layla El-Faouly (May Calamawy) and Marc Spector (Oscar Isaac) – the latter in and out of the Moon Knight suit — over a sarcophagus containing the next clue to the whereabouts of Ammit’s tomb....

Played by a stoic but steely Peter Stormare (Fargo, The Big Lebowski), Activision and Treyarch introduced us to “The Replacer” this January with the release of Call of Duty: Black Ops 2’s Revolution DLC. Filling in for the menial tasks of daily life – like, you know, delivering a baby, dating and work – The Replacer offered fans his unique brand of servitude while they indulged in what truly matters: more time with Black Ops 2, obviously....

Max Payne might have acquired a taste for radiant Hawaiian shirts after fleeing the steel metropolis of New York City, but the grizzled, balding former detective hasn’t softened to Mai Tais on the beach in Maui just yet. While Rockstar is still being tight-lipped about much of Max Payne 3’s plot, we know that Max’s new private security gig in Brazil has gone haywire in just about every way you would expect it too....

The newest expansion for Hearthstone has been announced, and will release alongside a new single-player dungeon run mode. The expansion, the first since December’s “Kobolds and Catacombs”, will feature a similar mode of play. It is unclear currently whether the dungeon will cost money to play or not. Called “The Witchwood”, the expansion’s setting is that of gothic-era horror. Between the released trailer, title, and the six cards unveiled to preview the expansion, there appears to be an emphasis on witches, ghosts, and werewolves....

Excitement has been building for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla since the game was announced through a compelling cinematic trailer. The trailer for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla gave insight into a male protagonist called Eivor, but there’s also a female version of the character.. Another item has now been put online, only to be quickly removed, and fans are beginning to wonder what this means for the game. The majority of Assassin’s Creed games have put players in unique historical settings where they must battle the Templars....

10 Want: Items The items that you got from Professor Oak as you progressed through the game were a fun gameplay point. You got apples to lure creatures closer to your camera and smoke balls to move or annoy others in order to get them to evolve. For stubborn Pokémon like Snorlax, you even received a Pokéflute to awaken them for some memorable photos. 9 Avoid: Legendary Eggs The legendary eggs found in the original games probably wouldn’t work as well with the massive amount of legendaries now available....

The expansion of Disney+ Star Wars series will continue in 2022 with The Book of Boba Fett, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Andor, while The Mandalorian is also set to return with its long-awaited third season. That’s quite a lot of Star Wars in the next year, but Lucasfilm is already looking toward its 2023 slate, which includes the highly-anticipated Ahsoka series starring Rosario Dawson. The Jedi-centric series, which will reportedly go into production in March, has been busy rounding out its cast....

During a revenue call, EA reveals the real reason why no post-launch maps or characters from The Force Awakens will be making it into the current Star Wars Battlefront. Since the game launched last November, fans have been patiently waiting for news regarding new content arriving for Star Wars Battlefront after the free Jakku map arrived in December. Thanks to new details from EA, information in the upcoming content of the season pass along with free updates has finally been revealed....

Grand Theft Auto V for PC may just be the worst kept secret in all of gaming, or perhaps, just perhaps - the smuggest, most inaccurate assumption in the entire industry. Either way, following the success of GTA 4, hopes are understandably high for a comparable GTA 5 experience on PC. Of course, the PC isn’t the only medium currently lacking in GTA 5 goodness. Releasing just weeks after Rockstar’s latest triumph, both Xbox One and PlayStation 4 consoles are equally eager to receive the title....

As per a statement on July 13, the NFL team formerly known as the Washington Redskins will officially be changing its name and logo. The new name and logo have yet to be revealed, but fans and rivals alike are glad to see tangible change so soon after promises of a thorough investigation into the name’s history/significance were made. The NFL has been under fire for use of the name “Redskins” for as long as the name has existed....

In a video released on the Indie World Twitter account on December 29, Nintendo celebrated the indie games that caught the attention and adoration of Switch players this year by releasing a showcase video of the best-selling indie games of 2020. It included several mainstream hits and a few unexpectedly popular small games, to the excitement of many fans. Indie World, Nintendo’s initiative for independently produced games to be brought to their Switch console, has hosted a number of hits over the years, from the ever-popular Hollow Knight to sleeper hit Among Us, ported over recently from mobile and PC versions....

It’s been quite a while since Nintendo has hosted a substantial Direct presentation that focuses on trailers and news for the biggest upcoming Switch games. In fact, this February 17th showcase was the Nintendo Direct of its kind since September 2019. Of course, the long gap between such presentations is understandable given that the COVID-19 pandemic delayed production schedules across the industry and impacted everyone’s ability to share substantial updates about their upcoming releases....

Busy modders are already at work with No Man’s Sky, creating a variety of different mods for the title ranging from graphical improvements through to weird and wonderful additions. Although No Man’s Sky has barely been out for a week, the game has already proved to be as divisive as its developers expected it to be. Although some players are extremely happy with the title’s explorative and atmospheric gameplay and expansive universe, others are disappointed in a perceived lack of depth....

Before its cancelation due to COVID-19, Blizzcon 2020 was the best place to learn more about Diablo 4. It was originally announced at Blizzcon 2019, which took place on November 1, but now the next BIG info drop seems tentative. Blizzard could move ahead with some new announcements, but it seems more likely that anything big takes place at Blizzconline in February 2021. That means fans may be waiting with bated breath for more Diablo 4 news, and that’s something Blizzard ought to be aware of....

Every online game player or live streamer knows the frustration of background noise coming through their microphone. Screaming family, construction work, police sirens, and so on can ruin an online experience. While various noise-canceling mics and software filters have been made to help, little works as well as voice users might hope. A new offering from Nvidia named RTX, however, appears to be the miracle many have long been hoping for....

There are some fantastic female characters in gaming. The medium is getting more inclusive all the time, and we’re moving away from the sexist stereotypes of the past, even if well-intentioned games can sometimes fall into disappointing tropes. There’s still a lot of work to be done, in terms of rounding out this representation, harassment within communities, and eradicating sexist cultures from gaming workplaces, but for today at least, I’d like to focus on the positives....

The Witcher 3 has many exciting quests for the player to complete, and the two DLCs, Heart of Stone and Blood and Wine, added even more exciting missions for Geralt to complete. These adventures are full of new characters, locations, and plots that add even more lore and content to the world of The Witcher. Some of the best quests in The Witcher 3 DLCs are the main ones that Geralt completes for the majority of them....
