Season 2 of Battlefield 2042 is entitled Master of Arms and it builds on the progress that we experienced in the previous season. Devs over at DICE said that they have been listening to comments from the community and are adapting to the demands of its player base. EA will kick off Master of Arms by announcing the new Battle Pass that accompanies the upcoming season with a new trailer....
One of the main elements of Battlefield 2042’s marketing so far has been the whole natural disaster angle, where each map in the game will have some sort of major environmental hazard adding to the regular, pedestrian dangers of Battlefield - like getting shot, blown up, run over by a tank or squashed by a fighter jet someone crashed into you. Based on images and footage seen so far, these include sand storms, tornadoes, electrical storms and more....

He can perform up to 4 attacks and his Charged attack allows him to lunge forward, damaging enemies along the way. Blazing Blessing Blazing Blessing is Thoma’s Elemental Skill.

Below, you’ll find our picks for the best xCloud games with touch controls that you can enjoy on the go, without having to go and bring a compatible gaming controller with you.

In this guide, we’ll focus on one of the most interesting storied characters, ‘Zane the Operative’, and his ‘Barrier Build’. The community has complained before that his skills weren’t working, and his damage was underperforming, but thanks to several patches and reworks, Zane’s back in fighting form. This Barrier Build will work best for you if you’re a defensive player and are trained to use cover from other shooters. Borderlands is unique in that it rewards you for popping out of cover, guns blazing (except when it doesn’t!...
Activision Blizzard popped by at the Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase to give an update on Diablo 4 and, boy was it chilling. The latest Diablo 4 trailer reveals the fifth and final class coming to the game, the Necromancer. A series staple, the Necromancer bends the forces of life and death across to their will, summoning the undead to fight their battles, which, in this case, is Lilith and her demon horde....
Announced at the very end of The Mandalorian’s second season, we now have a concrete release date for the Book of Boba Fett. The new series will focus on the Mandalorian bounty hunter’s fight to take control over the organized crime network of Tatooine, filling the power vacuum left by the death of Jabba the Hutt. The last time we saw Boba, he took his place on the late Hutt’s (downsized) throne, with Fennec Shand at his side....
Earlier in the week, news exploded on the internet that Bruce Willis sold his likeness for future use. This would have been a new precedent for a popular and living celebrity to sign away their exclusive rights to their likeness. Deepfakes are becoming commonplace to digitally emulate celebrities, but rarely in an officially licensed and commercial capacity. But it seems this news has been debunked. Did Bruce Willis really sell his likeness to Deepcake?...
Following the conclusion of The Destruction of Verdansk Part I playlist, which allowed players to witness the nuclear strike first hand and unlock an exclusive calling card, the entire Verdansk map has been made inaccessible in Warzone. Currently, players only have access to Rebirth Island, and it too has changed - you can see the destruction wrought by the nuke off the shore, and a cloud of ash has blotted out the sun....
Square Enix, Bandai Namco, and Blizzard Entertainment are all confirmed to be at this year’s The Game Awards. Most likely, companies like Sony and FromSoftware, among others, will be present as well as their games have been nominated for Game of the Year. It appears that Capcom is going to be there, and if we believe what it’s trying to imply, the reason is more than just because Resident Evil 4 is nominated for the “Most Anticipated” award....
At least, that’s what we thought Capcom said when it announced that an actual Resident Evil Village DLC is in the works. Capcom confirmed that it was working on additional DLC for the eighth mainline installment in the Resident Evil Village at E3 2021. However, Capcom didn’t provide any additional details. The only thing confirmed is that the Resident Evil Village DLC is being developed due to “popular demand”....
With that said, CDPR has taken small steps towards regaining the trust of gamers, including finally making Cyberpunk 2077 playable on last-gen consoles like the PS4 and the Xbox One. Unfortunately, just as CDPR takes a step forward, it appears to be taking a couple of steps backward as well. The lackluster content of Cyberpunk 2077’s first set of DLC releases did not curry the game any favors. Now, CDPR is playing a dangerous game again by promising a late 2021 release window for next-gen versions of Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt without really guaranteeing it....
Things Aren’t Going Well Over at CD Projekt Red CD Projekt Red was expected to have a worse 2021 compared to 2020 as a result of the backlash that the company received following the release of Cyberpunk 2077. Although the AAA title had a relatively good launch on PC, its console versions were a different story. To date, Cyberpunk 2077 remains de-listed from the PlayStation Store. Even then, things at CD Projekt Red are actually a lot worse than you would think....
Deathloop and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart lead nominees at The Game Awards 2021 Arkane Studios and Bethesda’s “final” PlayStation-exclusive game could end up going out with a bag. After Microsoft acquired ZeniMax earlier this year, we don’t think we’ll see any Bethesda game release as an exclusive on any Sony console anytime soon. Because of this, a win by Deathloop would be a fitting swansong. Heading into The Game Awards 2021, Arkane Studios’ time-loop shooter title currently leads the way with nine nominations, including Game of the Year, Best Performance, and Best Action....
The teaser, whose runtime is a little over a minute, opens with a scene that seems to have come right out of Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey, with Richard Strauss’ Also Sprach Zarathustra playing in the background, but instead of a tribe of hominins, we get a group of small girls playing with their dolls, and instead of an alien monolith appearing in their midst, a colossal Barbie appears. The trailer then proceeds to give us a little peak into the Barbie live-action world, which is filled with hues of pink and blue....
HexWorks and CI Games have unveiled a new trailer for the upcoming Souls-like game. The trailer includes actual gameplay footage and it is voiced by House of the Dragon’s Milly Alcock. The actor played as the young Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen in season 1 of the Game of Thrones prequel series. CI Games first announced the Lords of the Fallen sequel at Gamescom 2022. Joseph Quinn of Stranger Things Season 4 lent his voice for the announcement trailer....
Are you ready for Cobra Kai Season 4? Cobra Kai has been one of Netflix’s biggest shows ever since it made the jump from YouTube Red. The series, which is a sequel to the 1980s classic series of movies, The Karate Kid, sees Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence all grown up. Whereas the first three two seasons revolved around the reignited rivalry between the two former All Valley Karate champions, the third season slowly paved the way for the two to team up against John Kreese and his Cobra Kai....
Where is The Penguin going to fit in the Batman timeline? First off, don’t think that The Batman is part of the DC Extended Universe. Matt Reeves’ take on the Dark Knight, which sees Robert Pattinson take on the rule of the caped crusader, exists within its universe. So, we shouldn’t expect to start seeing anyone else from the DCEU make their way to The Batman once the movie premieres on March 4, 2022....
It’s amazing to see the transformation in just a decade when, back then, we’d be lucky to get one comic book game every few years, regardless of whether it was good or not. Now that we’ve taken a look at some of the best comic book video games ever released, we’re going to head on over to fantasy land, as we round up some comic book video games that we wish would happen....
Square Enix views Marvel’s Avengers as a disappointment. However, regardless of what your stand on the game is, Crystal Dynamics deserves a lot of props. The studio has continued to work hard on a game that continues to be the subject of heavy criticism. Case in point, Spider-Man is finally coming to Marvel’s Avengers. Marvel’s Avengers Spider-Man design draws praise Crystal Dynamics revealed last week that Spider-Man was joining Marvel’s Avengers....
