The Harry Potter franchise revitalized the wonder of magic for a lot of children and adults alike. Seven books, eight movies and tons of related merch, attractions, spin-offs and more shows just how popular the franchise is. Who hasn’t looked towards their window and hoped to see an owl with their acceptance letter to Hogwarts? And who hasn’t spent money on one or two Harry Potter games that let them pretend, at least for a moment, that they were a real witch or wizard?...

Although it would admittedly be entirely forgivable if you’d forgotten about The Last of Us’ live-action TV adaptation given the sheer tsunami of other video game adaptations in the works right now, those that’d been hoping to see Sony’s acclaimed blockbuster brought to life on the small-to-mid-sized screen at some point this year will have to wait a little longer - HBO has now confirmed the series won’t be airing until next year at least....

When The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess launches for Wii U on March 4 it’ll offer players much more than a simple graphics update, with a range of additions which aim to improve the Gamecube/Wii RPG. High definition visuals: Classic scenes like Link riding Epona across the Eldin Bridge and Wolf Link howling at the moon are given a stunning new look. Wii U GamePad Inventory: Players can now easily manage their inventory, access the map and quickly transform into a wolf via the touch screen, all without pausing the game....

With Death Stranding becoming one of the most talked-about games of the decade and a massive commercial success, it’s clear Hideo Kojima is well and truly back. The renowned video game director has always been known as a creator who looks to push boundaries after all, and now that his latest mind-bending project is finished with, fans are beginning to look at where he’ll go next. Luckily, Kojima hasn’t been too tight-lipped about the subject, spilling a few new details on his future projects in a recent conversation with Famitsu Weekly Magazine....

Squanch Games’ High on Life (you know, the weird one with the talking gun) has been delayed until December. It was originally scheduled for October, but, as we have since learned, that’s when Modern Warfare II comes out. These things happen. The roughly six-week delay will allow the team to clear out some bugs and polish the game’s sentient weapons. It’ll now arrive on December 13. The news was announced yesterday on the game’s official Twitter account....

If you’re in any way familiar with the recent resurgence of the Hitman franchise, you’ll have heard about the Elusive Target system. It first appeared in 2016’s Hitman. Now, actor Sean Bean makes his appearance in Hitman 2 as its first Elusive Target. Sean Bean has an odd reputation in Hollywood. He’s a fantastic actor, but he always kicks the bucket in whatever movies he appears in. And Hitman has really leaned into this with his portrayal as Mark Faba....

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is one of my top favorite games of all time. To me, it’s one of those games I wish I could forget, just so I can experience it all over again.

Rebel Wolves is a new studio under the former Witcher 3 director, and its first task is to create a dark fantasy RPG using Unreal Engine 5....

This morning, Epic Games announced that it would be extending Fortnite Chapter 2’s first season until February in order to prepare the game’s holiday event. Fortnite’s 2019 holiday event is supposedly bigger than those of the past, promising new features, exclusive rewards, and a massive in-game event. This means that Chapter 2 Season 1 will likely be Fortnite’s longest season yet. The majority of the previous seasons had only lasted around two months, with some exceptions....

Another change to the Fortnite map is about to happen once again, warping a popular point of interest into something else completely. This is due to the fact that a second Rift Beacon has appeared, this time in Mega Mall, which we now know signals something big is about to happen to that area. When Season 10 kicked off, there were no significant changes to the Fornite map as there had been in previous seasons....

Epic Games has rolled the latest Fortnite update off the production lines, bringing along a healthy dose of new content for both the Battle Royale and Save the World editions of the popular shooter. One of the main highlights is the addition of Replay functionality, allowing you to tinker with a host of cinematic options to capture and relive your standout gaming moments in Fortnite.

I’m not gonna lie; I feel old writing this article. While the name Duke Nukem may be a distant memory to a lot of people reading this, the words mean so much more to myself, and countless others. For those who remember the man like I do, he has lived on in my memory as an embodiment of everything my parents didn’t want me to do, see, or hear. And after 14 years, he’s back....

Gears 5 has been officially announced during Microsoft’s E3 press conference this evening. Yes, that’s Gears 5, not Gears of War 5. Go figure. Marcus Fenix is back alongside his son JD, as well as Kait, who appears to be taking a larger role this time around. The footage shown makes it clear she’s the protagonist of the game, or at least will be for a big part of the action....
