At the initial announcement of Overwatch 2, Blizzard showed off an early version of its skill and talent trees.

For those who did there was probably a reaction of surprise, and definitely excitement.

The following contains major spoilers for Netflix’s The Stranger and comes from Den of Geek UK. Harlan Coben’s 2015 novel The Stranger is a story to give pause to anybody who thinks that an incognito tab or a fake online username will keep their secrets. Barring the most sophisticated spook tech, whatever an ordinary person does online is traceable to someone, somewhere.

The description for Re: Zero – The Prophecy of the Throne reads, “One month after Subaru’s new life in another world began, an emissary sent by the Royal Castle suddenly appears with news that the Royal Selection has been postponed, but offers no reason as to why.” This implies that the story takes place after the events of the first game. While based on the incredibly popular Japanese light novel series, the video game plots have deviated considerably from the novels and anime....
There are many JRPG franchises that have spanned decades through numerous entries. While most players would immediately think of the Final Fantasy franchise with Final Fantasy 16’s recent announcement, or even the prolific history of Dragon Quest, there is another series that holds a similar pedigree. The Tales of series continues to release new titles as the franchise hits its 25 anniversary this year, but it seems publisher Bandai Namco may have more planned than just one new game....
While Modern Warfare 3 has yielded quite the collection of downloadable maps and modes over its life span thus far, there is a considerable amount of fan enthusiasm forming around the idea of bringing classic maps into the fold.

Well, that changes with the upcoming Fated Retribution update for arcades, which will also serve as the actual Tekken 7 release for PlayStation 4 later this year, as Nina Williams is officially joining the roster....
Ninja Theory has had several projects in the works for a while now, the biggest of which likely being the follow-up to its universally acclaimed narrative-driven gem Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice. However, the team is also working on two other projects: The Insight Project and an experimental horror game known as Project Mara. If a new developer diary is anything to go off, it seems the latter is shaping into something pretty special, with the footage highlighting the advanced graphics that will be front and center throughout the game....
The second Ninjala beta went a lot better than the first one, according to reviewers. So there’s this game coming to the Nintendo Switch that we’re kinda/sorta interested in playing. It’s called Ninjala, a free-to-play Splatoon clone that actually doesn’t have much to do with Splatoon except for the very kid-friendly presentation. Whereas Splatoon is all about squids with guns, Ninjala is all about kids that chew bubblegum that turns them into yoyo-toting ninjas....
