Last year's release of Star Wars Battlefront II seemed to be the straw that broke the camel's back. Not even a week after the game was on store shelves, a bunch of politicians were looking into whether or not the loot boxes contained within...

Battle royale is the hottest video game trend right now, and it seems like everyone wants in. Just one day after it was reported that Call of Duty may be getting a battle royale mode, there's rumor that Battlefield might too. Game...

If you're like me and you have an itch to play some good old Peggle in a wonderful 1600x1200 resolution (like I did in my youth) and watch balls hit other balls while you stare into the void of those black bars on each side of your screen a...

When Battlefield V launches later this year, its microtransaction model will be limited solely to cosmetic items. And when BioWare's Anthem releases early next year, it won't have game-altering loot boxes. Electronic Arts says the...

Hazelight Studios' prison-break-turned-bonding-adventure A Way Out has cleared one million sales. This is genuinely a pleasant surprise. I'm only midway through (watch my playthrough with Ray over here), but I'm having a ball so far and h...

DICE is planning a new limited-time event for Star Wars Battlefront II that pits a squad of stormtroopers against spear-wielding Ewoks and that's just the kind of silly thing to get me back into the game. The Ewok Hunt mode will be playable...

A Way Out dedicated its entire title to only one act of its story. It's a bit deceiving to call this a prison break game (even though, yes, they do eventually get out) because it's a lot of other things too. A Way Out is a revenge...

Is it safe to say that EA won't try to pack microtransactions into another Star Wars game again after what happened with Battlefront 2? No, it's not, but I think they'll be more cautious about it in the future. It wasn't enough of a de...

Hazelight Studio's stealth adventure A Way Out launches tomorrow, and Electronic Arts have released a launch trailer to get you and your fellow escapee prepped for the longest night of your lives.A Way Out, directed by Josef "Fuck the Oscar...

Today's update for Star Wars Battlefront II is the big one. It's the one that overhauls how progression works in multiplayer (gameplay-affecting Star Cards are unlocked through gameplay) and alters loot crates so that they only contain cosm...

It's been a long time coming, but DICE has detailed its progression overhaul for Star Wars Battlefront II. There are a number of changes planned for March 21. As of that date, gameplay-affecting items can only be earned through gameplay. Pl...

Maybe in another time line far, far away, we could have already experienced developer Free Radical's now cancelled Star Wars: Battlefront III. Judging by the plethora of pre-release footage available online -- that showcases seamless transi...

I wasn't sure we'd see a direct follow-up to Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 anytime soon, but a third game in the zany third-person shooter series might be on the horizon. The source here is an odd one, to be sure. The Amazon listing ...

The most mainstream shooters have shied away from the futuristic in recent years and returned to the historic. Last year's Call of Duty revisited World War II. The last Battlefield interestingly tackled World War I. Now, it seems ...

Not content to simply port Final Fantasy XV to PC, Square Enix has announced that yet another wacky crossover is coming to the belated port when it releases next month. Users who buy the game from EA's Origin service before May 1 will be gi...

For the third consecutive year, Electronic Arts is spending E3 somewhere other than inside the E3 convention hall. Two years ago, it posted up right outside the Los Angeles Convention Center. Then, in 2017, it moved the festivities to Holly...

Burnout Paradise didn't have microtransactions when it was originally released in 2008. That doesn't mean that era wasn't full of micro-DLC, much of which was propagated by EA (Skate was one of the first series I can recall that sold p...

The two-week head start on Apocalypse begins today for Battlefield 1 Premium Pass holders. This final expansion includes new maps (Passchendaele, Caporetto, and River Somme), the Air Assault game mode (along with the maps Razor's Edge and L...

What little we've known about Fe has seemed cleverly wrapped in enigma, like this forest is hiding mysteries that are just begging to be solved. That's half true. There's something to uncover at nearly every turn in Fe but nothing...

2008's limb-slicing sci-fi horror title Dead Space has found its way onto Origin's On the House program. For a limited time, you'll be able to add the game to your PC library for free. It's yours to keep. For an extra dash of nostalgia, her...

We've known that paid microtransactions would one day return to Star Wars Battlefront II. EA said as much back in November, noting that "the ability to purchase crystals in-game will become available at a later date, only after we've made c...

Last week's report from Kotaku that Anthem will miss its Fall 2018 release window has turned out to be true. EA confirmed to the Wall Street Journal that Anthem has been pushed back to "early 2019." "It's not a delay," EA CFO Blak...

Last month saw a batch of new content for Star Wars Battlefront II including two new heroes, another map, and more single-player missions. DICE is prepping a second season along those lines that's "coming soon" (and hopefully adds Obi-Wan s...

We haven't heard much of anything about BioWare's upcoming Anthem since its reveal at E3, but it seems like the expected launch window of "Fall 2018" isn't going to happen. According to a report by Kotaku, three people closely tied to the p...
