Paramount will reportedly become the latest company to license its media empire to Epic Games for use within Fortnite. The first franchise from the film and TV giant to appear in the game is expected to be Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, according to a fresh report by XboxEra. There’s no word on when exactly those heroes in a half shell will arrive, and Fortnite has a bustling schedule of new content arrivals and things to buy in its shop....

Just like the return of two old weapons, it appears Fortnite’s next event has already been leaked, and it seems to center on a fan-favorite location on the map: Risky Reels. Unfortunately, the details aren’t entirely clear as to what this new event will entail, but dataminers have uncovered a few key details. First off, the event will have an effect on Risky Reels, which returned to the map with Fortnite Chapter 2, along with Pleasant Park, Salty Springs, and Retail Row....

With Fortnite being as popular as it is, jumping in blind can be a bad time. When you have virtually no skill or understanding of the very concept of “battle royale,” staying alive often feels like a crapshoot. Sticking with it will help a little, but it would be nice for lesser skilled players to have a stomping ground to call their own. That seems to finally be happening as developer Epic Games has announced that Fortnite‘s latest update will be adding bots into the fray....

Epic and Riot Games have announced that League of Legends champion Jinx is the latest game character to appear in Battle Royale shooter Fortnite.

This will include her outfit and a selection of other cosmetics that make up the Arcane: League of Legends set....

Forza Horizon 5 stormed onto the scene (literally) in its reveal trailer during Microsoft’s E3 2021 presentation. The new open-world racer from Playground Games has garnered a massive amount of attention, which is expected given that the series’ following has grown substantially since its PC release back in 2016 with Forza Horizon 3. The initial reveal trailer provided a look at the intense new weather events, the vast new map of Mexico, and a look at some of the new cars that will be in the game....

Two ex-Blizzard employees, Tim Morten and Tim Campbell, have just announced the creation of a new studio called Frost Giant. The name has some strong Blizzard overtones, and the new studio’s website even pays respect to the giants that came before it. It’s also appropriate since the new studio will be setting out to revive a genre that Blizzard dominated for years with the Warcraft and StarCraft franchises. Frost Giant’s singular focus is to make the next great PC real-time strategy game....

Perhaps no character this side of the Narrow Sea has seen her fortunes change so rapidly on Game of Thrones as Cersei Lannister. Which is all the more impressive since she has, technically speaking, been in the same location the whole series: a gilded cage that’s nestled next to a seat of power. However, it wasn’t until recent seasons that this took the shape of genuine control, and even some fairly cunning game moves after a series of tactical errors that nearly cost her everything....

God of War Ragnarök is an impressive looking game, there is no denying it. The sweeping vistas of the Nine Realms are breathtaking, and suit the norse epic’s overarching narrative perfectly. But would this game work as well if it had been released in the 90s? Given the look of a recent fan-made demake trailer, I would absolutely have still played it! The demake trailer in question comes from creator Jackarte....

Comparing Google Play Pass and Apple Arcade At a glance, Google seems to have the better deal....

Guillermo del Toro and Diego Luna are living their best lives. At this month’s New York Comic Con, they are chummy—hugging and exuding such smiles that you’d think they’re two bros gathered to catch up rather than an executive producer and voice actor doing press for Dreamworks Tales of Arcadia: 3Below, their upcoming animated series on Netflix. And, while Del Toro is now an Academy Award-winning director, he’s still the same affable nerd behind the cross-genre Tales of Arcadia story that began with the three-season, Emmy-winning Trollhunters, and continues with the aliens-on-earth chapter 3Below....

Ever since its official announcement last month, Valve’s Half-Life: Alyx has left people intrigued. Trading a traditional gameplay experience for a VR-enabled one is sure to leave some criticisms.

And now, thanks to a new video from the team at Tested, we are getting a better idea of how it all comes together....

When Microsoft announced that the Halo: Master Chief Collection would be released on Steam, fans of the franchise were elated. In the announcement, Microsoft outlined a staggered approach to releasing the series, and will release the Halo games in episodic order beginning with Halo: Reach.

Halo Infinite players who lost XP during recent server outages are seemingly unlikely to have their rewards restored. Confirmation came via a customer support representative who responded to a player’s queries about lost XP, the response for which was then shared on the game’s subreddit community. The issue is particularly contentious because rather than count time spent in-game - which would allow for players to experience server downtime without penalty - XP boosts take place in real-time, regardless of whether or not the player is actively online and playing....
