In Destiny 2: Beyond Light, you will wield all-new weapons and armor as you trek through the frozen lands of the moon Europa. Bungie promises there will be new weapons, armor, and accessories available to suit every player’s style. Here are some of the Exotic weapons and gear you can expect with the new expansion. You can also get a look at each in the gallery below: Exotic Weapons...
The trailer, which has been embedded below for your viewing pleasure, shows off a sidearm very much reminiscent of the classic Halo pistol with a familiar zoom-in scope. We see a frag grenade thrown that, very much like the classic sci-fi explosive, is used to throw a player far up into the air in a fashion that’ll trigger a nostalgic flashback to any Halo player. Last but certainly not least is a rifle modeled after the beloved battle rifle, a three-shot-burst weapon chewing through another Guardian on a crucible map....
That is until today, when Reddit user Killomainiac pointed out a bridge that had been under construction for months. Only two weeks before the launch of the next expansion - The Witch Queen - this hero has finally discovered a clue pointing towards the location where the Season of the Lost may come to a close, and the events directly leading up to The Witch Queen will commence. This comes in the form of a bridge that has been gradually expanding in the background of the Astral Alignment activity, right in front of everyone’s eyes....
As part of Activision’s Q4 FY2020 earnings reveal on Thursday, the publisher touched a little bit on its other half, Blizzard Entertainment. Blizzard saw a good quarter off the back of record-setting World of Warcraft expansion, Shadowlands. The studio is also looking forward to this year’s launch of Diablo Immortal, the free-to-play mobile off-shoot currently in testing. The biggest upcoming games from Blizzard, however, are still not ready. Those being, of course, Diablo 4 and Overwatch 2....
Magic: Legends, the free-to-play action RPG from Cryptic and Perfect World, will not be leaving open beta. That game’s servers are going offline October 31. Previously announced console versions are also being cancelled. Cryptic broke the news in a blog post, saying that while servers will be live until the end of October, the Zen Shop premium store and the game’s paid currency will be going offline today. Items previously on sale in the Zen Shop will be available for purchase using Aether, the free currency earned through play later this week....
DICE LA has long existed as a support studio to DICE’s main team in Sweden. The studio, which has a solid history of working on classic shooters, sort of existed in limbo for a while. A little over a year ago, EA revealed that Respawn co-founder Vince Zampella will be helping DICE LA rebrand, and ramp up hiring so the studio could have its own identity, and create its own games away from DICE’s influence....
Shortly after the launch of Battlefield 2042, some quickly started creating XP farming servers in the community-driven Portal experience. DICE quickly caught on, and decided to disable XP earn in Portal modes, except official ones made by the developer itself or the approved few. This was always intended to be a short-term solution, but it ended up driving many players away from Portal. Today, the game’s developers revealed what will be done to fix these problems....
As announced on the official Xbox site, Tell Me Why is available to download for free on Steam, the Microsoft Store, and Xbox to celebrate pride month this June.

The news comes from Geoff Keighley, who recently tweeted about Doom Eternal The Ancient Gods. It’s worth noting that The Ancient Gods is subtitled as Part 1, meaning that it won’t be the only campaign expansion for Doom Eternal, nor will it be a standalone add-on in terms of narrative continuity. “Don’t miss the world premiere of The Ancient Gods: Part 1, the new campaign expansion of Doom Eternal during Gamescom Opening Night Live, streaming live on August 27,” wrote Keighley....
The tools offered in Dreams continue to inspire players to create. As with Media Molecule’s Little Big Planet before it, players are racing to recreate their favourite games within Dreams. Fallout 4 is the latest such adventure, which has been painstakingly recreated in Dreams by Robo_Killer_v2. This obviously isn’t the entire game, rather the first area you visit, as well as the main menu and general look and feel. The most impressive thing about this project is its attention to detail....
Hosted by lead game designer Tymon Smektała, the development team revealed a variety of details about parkour and combat, as well as showcasing a gameplay trailer. The third episode shed light on traversing the city using parkour mechanics which were created with realistic motion capture animations in order to give player the feeling of dynamism. Combat was also touched upon, and the stream provided insight into weapons and their inspirations, as well as the creative combat system which allows integrating of parkour moves with the fighting for deeper immersion....

News of considering a name change for FIFA, and EA’s other global football titles, was announced in a press release this morning. Speaking of FIFA specifically, EA Sports GM Cam Weber said the company is focused on where the firm goes from the release of its latest football release, FIFA 22. “The future of football is very big and very bright. Our priority is to ensure we have every opportunity to continue delivering the world’s greatest interactive football experiences,” said Weber....
EA, the publishing giant behind franchises like FIFA, Battlefront, Mass Effect, and many others, now owns the rights to Codemasters’ impressive suite of IP. As such, EA now has the rights to properties like F1, Project CARS, GRID, Dirt, WRC on top of its existing racing IP (including Need for Speed, Real Racing and Burnout). The acquisition has been in the works for a while, and EA outbid Take-Two late last year after the Rockstar and 2K parent company expressed interest in taking over the UK developer....
Sources speaking with Try Hard’s Tom Henderson have said EA is ready to give the world a look at the next entry in the series. The game is reportedly just called Skate and is further along in development than previously thought when leaked footage surfaced back in April. Apparently, the leaked footage showed a game very early in development, and quite a few months old at that. Skate 4, which is what we’re calling it for now, was announced as in early development during the EA Play Live 2020 showcase by franchise director Deran Chung and creative director Chris Parry who said that fans of the series had commented it “into existence....
Former Electronic Arts exec Patrick Soderlund has given us an update about what his new studio Embark is up to. In a post on Medium, Soderlund wrote that the developer has started work on its second project, a brand new team-based PVP shooter. The game has no name yet, but Embark’s founder shared some concept art featuring a traditional soldier – albeit with a creepy mask on – a cowgirl, a child in a hoodie, and a samurai....
The Lands Between is a sprawling, intimidating open-world map, filled with secrets to find and hidden areas to explore. But even with the frankly dizzying amount of content available in Elden Ring currently, I’d like to take a look at what may be on the cards post-launch. Recent comments by FromSoft suggest that the studio is far from done with Elden Ring, with president & CEO of Bandai Namco, Yasuo Miyakawa, stating: “we will continue our efforts in expanding the brand beyond the game itself, and into everyone’s daily life....
Instead, Miyazaki told the PS Blog, the games are designed to encourgae the player to “overcome adversity,” and such is the case with Elden Ring. “We don’t try to force difficulty or make things hard for the sake of it,” he said. “We want players to use their cunning, study the game, memorize what’s happening, and learn from their mistakes. We don’t want players to feel like the game is unfairly punishing, but rather that there’s a chance to win a difficult encounter and make progress....
According to EA, the move will allow it to “deliver the world’s biggest interactive sports experience” for the growing community in collaboration with over 300 partners across the world of football. EA Sports FC will provide EA with a platform to “innovate, create, and grow new experiences,” the company said. Plus, it will bring more areas of the sport to life, and “harness the collective strength” of more than 150 million players across the company’s global football games to reach hundreds of millions of new fans in the years to come....
On Friday, YouTuber Doctre81 uncovered, through a LinkedIn page, that Killer7 might be in development at Engine Software, the same team behind the PC version. The LinkedIn page for one Engine Software developer had Killer7 listed among the projects they previously worked on. More specifically, the Killer7 tile mentioned PC as well as Nintendo Switch. A Switch version of Killer7 does not exist, of course, which lead to the assumption that Engine Software may also be working on a port for Nintendo’s console....
