The Sims 4 is getting a makeover. Okay it's mostly cosmetic in nature (no not that "cosmetic," well kinda), but it's getting one all the same. The game will sport new box art and some UI changes, including a new loading screen and the optio...

The sea is loneliness. That's not a spoiler for Sea of Solitude, the latest effort from Berlin-based indie studio Jo-Mei, and a game that, since its announcement some years ago, has been fairly explicit about its allegorical nature, and its...

When Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order was officially revealed, I gave a shrug of indifference. This looked like basically every other Star Wars action title ever made and was starring one of the most boring looking characters I've seen in a whi...

Apex Legends is making a splash once again in the battle royale market, as developer Respawn Entertainment just kicked off season two of the shooter, which includes new character Wattson, another series of content drops, battlefield ch...

Although interest in Apex Legends has significantly waned (it went from the top game on Twitch for several weeks to not cracking the top five for some time), Respawn is still keen on supporting it, and EA is very happy with it. The next hug...

While Lyle keeps practicing his impression of you, here's what's been happening in video games the past week:  Gears 5 is dropping paid loot boxes! The UK parliament is investigating loot boxes! The Witcher 3 is going to fit entire...

Anthem is in a really precarious spot right now. We know that it sold well in some regions, but EA and even BioWare isn't happy about the state the game was in at launch or the lack of post-launch support (or the ability to stick to the ori...

The Sims 4 is still going strong after five years. Although you don't hear it brought up in general gaming conversation often, there are a ton of people playing it: some of whom dabble in Sims 4 on a daily basis. Given how much it's improve...

Each year Destructoid does our recaps a little differently. I lay my opinions on the line, provide full breakdowns of each and every story that happens in each conference/stream (it takes days from our lives to be this meticulous, I assure ...

EA responded to complaints that Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order’s reveal didn’t contain any actual gameplay by opening its EA Play event with a 15-minute-long gameplay demo. It had everything you would expect in a Star Wars game: l...

The table is mostly set for E3 2019, and surprisingly, several of those seats are going to be vacant. All eyes are on Microsoft this year, as Sony completely bowed out of the conference game (their lengthy late shows really took it out of m...

Thank God we don't have a billion proper live conferences at E3 this year with both Sony and EA pulling out. I mean sure, it's nice to laugh at blunders every now and then and really low energy stage hosts that look like they want to be any...

Remember when the Sim name was synonymous with nearly every walk of construction life and beyond? Sim Ant ruled: just saying. Now Sims is mostly just The Sims, specifically now, Sims 4. We've had two major updates for Sims 4&...

Madden 20 was unveiled back in April, but EA Tiburon took the stage today during the EA Play E3 event to give us a few more details beyond "the cover athlete is Patrick Mahomes." We got a little more on Face of the Franchise, whic...

This is it, we have finally reached "FIFA 20" territory. Electronic Arts has announced another entry in the wildly popular worldwide FIFA franchise, and this one is taking it to the streets. The big draw this year is VOLTA Football, which f...

Battlefield V is still chugging along despite not meeting EA's expectations, and you can join in on most of the post-launch festivities for free. These days developer DICE is supplementing the game most frequently with maps, a few of w...

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order has finally been unveiled beyond vague "it's Star Wars so it's cool" platitudes, as EA has given us actual gameplay to judge today at E3. During their EA Play presentation we got roughly 15 minutes of raw footag...

EA Play will run from 12:30PM ET through a little after 3PM ET today, and here's the thing: we already know what it entails! This is not a traditional "press conference" from EA, as they've dropped out of that game this year alongside of So...

Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 3 – or whatever the next PvZ shooter ends up being named – is skipping EA Play 2019, the company's E3-adjacent reveal event that kicks off tomorrow morning. Shaun Laker, the live producer on Ga...

The hype for Apex Legends has died down a bit, as the game has slowly slipped out of the top 10 most-played Twitch games list after dominating it for weeks on end. The lack of an exciting first season and a troubled Battle Pass were major c...

BioWare has been teasing Anthem's Cataclysm content, the closest currently revealed thing to raids, since even before launch. They had to push it back to you know...fix the rest of the game, but now they're ready to continue to take things ...

A new Need for Speed game is coming out this year, but it will not be present at E3 2019. A blog post over on EA's site announced the unsurprising news and then shattered hopes that we'd get a glimpse of the racer next month. It seems EA is...

EA originally planned to host live-streamed events for E3 2019 across multiple days, but that schedule has since condensed into one main event on Saturday, June 8. Today, the company detailed which games we can expect to see at EA Play 2019...

Sea of Solitude looks rife with mystery and despair. What little we've seen is a poignant depiction of a young woman coping with loneliness. The physical manifestation is a sinking city and many horrifying monsters. For obvious reason...

The strong momentum of Apex Legends seems to be slowing down significantly. For the second month in a row, EA's popular battle royale title has dropped its profit earnings. According to a report from market research firm SuperData, Apex Leg...
