Would you toss a coin for an action figure line of The Witcher Netflix series? If the answer is yes, well, you’re in luck as McFarlane Toys has struck a deal to make one. According to PlayStation LifeStyle, the toy manufacturer announced the news through Facebook, and the line will release sometime in 2021. No prototypes or concept art has been revealed, but we agree with PS LifeStyle that a Geralt figure based on Henry Cavill’s likeness is certainly going to happen....

A new BioShock: Infinite image has been revealed in preparation for a full trailer release later this week during the Spike Video Game Awards. While the image features nothing too revelatory, it does fit right in with the game’s art style. From the image, players can see more of the city of Columbia and its persistent view, as well as a statue of a mysterious man in a top hat. Who this man is and what Fink MFG, the presumed company seen in the background, is yet unknown, but my gut tells me that the full BioShock: Infinite VGAs trailer will help provide an explanation....

This Saturday’s upcoming UEFA Champions League Final will pit English Premier League club Chelsea against German Bundesliga club Bayern Munich in a battle for all the European marbles. But another rivalry will be playing out during the commercial break (perhaps an even greater one, if you’re among the 99% of soccer worshipers who wanted to see a Real Madrid-Barcelona clash manifest itself). EA and Danger Close’s Medal of Honor: Warfighter, along with Activision and Treyarch’s Call of Duty: Black Ops II, will both run brand new trailers during the match....

Currently, there are two major video game franchises asking fans to participate in lengthy puzzle-solving quests to, potentially, reveal upcoming games. Call of Duty is sending fans on a wild chase throughout Warzone and a cryptic website for more clues and information about whatever is happening with the series’ next game. Alongside Call of Duty’s wacky way of delivering information, WB Games Montreal is slow dripping information in various teasing tweets and a website of its own that is being pondered over by fans of the Batman Arkham games....

A Destiny player details and shows off a brand new gamebreaking bug that allows Nightstalker Hunters the ability to shoot while performing a shadestep roll. Destiny has seen no shortage of controversy lately, especially when it comes to a lack of new content for players to enjoy. Unfortunately for Bungie, a brand new gamebreaking bug has been found, and it’s one that could easily give a major advantage to players who utilize it in the various PvP modes within Destiny....

Magic: The Gathering players are likely disappointed that the game’s 2020 Spring set has been delayed due to Covid-19 concerns. Many were looking forward to getting their hands on the new set to build up decks for when they are able to go to their local game shops again. However, not all Magic: The Gathering news is upsetting right now. As it turns out, the anticipated Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths set will introduce the King of Monsters himself, Godzilla....

Genesect is coming to Pokémon GO, and with it comes a brand new way to get region-locked Pokémon. But it comes with a price. So Genesect is on its way to Pokémon GO. The mythical Gen 5 Bug/Steel-type brings a brand new story-based Research Event that lets you pay for first-time access in much the same way as Regigas did, but this time Niantic is sweetening the deal. Not only will you get Genesect, but you’ll also get access to Durant, a Pokémon that’s normally region-locked to the eastern hemisphere....

Despite launching only two months ago, Nier Replicant has sold over a million copies, doubling that of the original game’s lifetime sales. Nier Replicant producer Yosuke Saito claimed before launch that the game had to sell well otherwise he and Creative Director Yoko Taro would have to sell copies out of the back of a van. Thankfully, Saito won’t be going on any such road trip as Nier Replicant has now sold over 1 million copies since its launch back in April....

Popular Fortnite streamer Ninja recently hinted that a new map is coming to the game, and while that is sort of true, it’s not exactly what it sounds like. The Battle Royale boom we are currently in the midst of in the gaming world is pretty fascinating. The premise is so simple, yet we as gamers don’t seem to be able to get enough of them. Take Fortnite, for instance. One map, 100 players, and in 2018 its developers Epic Games reportedly made $2....

Ninja, one of the world’s biggest streamers, doesn’t appreciate stream sniping, especially when it comes to Fortnite. Now, there’s no denying that Fortnite is in an absolutely fantastic position right now. The game’s risen to become a real phenomenon. Alfonso Ribeiro has discovered that he can’t keep his Carlton Dance to himself and dropped his lawsuit and brilliant and bizarre new weapons and vehicles are being added to the game. Things are pretty darn great all around....

Ninja has hit out at the inclusion of custom loadouts in Call of Duty: Warzone. The incredibly skilled and stable streamer claims it takes away from the variety brought about by other battle royale titles. Call of Duty: Warzone landed last week and has shaken up the already-crowded world of battle royale titles somewhat. CoD has entered the battle royale realm in the past, but its first week on the market would suggest that Warzone is the iteration that will stick around for the long haul....

While this next tournament might be a little casual for those Fox only, Final Destination, no items Super Smash Bros. fans among us, those who enjoy playing as the Star Fox icon (as well as Samus Aran, among others) might want to get on board with this one.

No Man’s Sky is a game that suffered from too much buzz and far-fetched promises at launch, which resulted in a poor reception from an audience who was eager for something that could not be delivered. Yet the game has managed to add-in downloadable content that has made it far more enjoyable and akin to what was originally showcased. While some players may have been put off by the original reception of the game, those who have stuck with it have been treated to some solid content and this looks set to continue....
