Assassin's Creed Odyssey's first piece of paid DLC is both a departure and a comfort food. As add-ons tend to go, Legacy of the First Blade's Hunted chapter recycles all the core systems from the original game. It falls right into that...

On my last day of PAX East this year, I took a look at a retro-inspired FPS called Project Warlock. Developed by Buckshot Software, the game is the vision of 19-year-old Jakub Cislo and his desire to recreate the games of his youth. With hi...

Here's a funny thing about covering games: you either play a lot of them or you don't play enough of them and either way, everything blurs together. Every week, dozens -- if not hundreds -- of new games come out. Most of them aren't anythin...

Blizzard has begun sharing the latest batch of Overwatch character skins ahead of next week's Winter Wonderland event. I was hoping we'd see creative festive designs. So far, the results are mixed. The first skin, Sugar Plum Fairy Mercy, is...

Anthem is still a few months away and it's just as well. I'm ready for the low key Smash-filled holidays, not a massive MMO-adjacent looter shooter at the moment, so February 22 is fine by me. BioWare and EA want to remind you that it exist...

Square Enix seems constantly skittish of how Tomb Raider performs in any given year. It's strange: the first one was a success by almost any studio's metric, but the "disappointing" multi-million hit bred a meme out of the company's melanch...

At last night's Game Awards, the giant-slaying Monster Hunter: World deservedly earned the Best Role-Playing Game award, which was collected by the producer of the Capcom juggernaut title, Ryozo Tsujimoto.Tsujimoto also took time to make no...

My eyes are all melty and I'm dying to dig into Smash Ultimate, but let's take a moment to recap the major video game news from The Game Awards 2018. There were some genuinely surprising moments. For instance: a new Marvel Ultimate Alliance...

Bethesda promised us a new Rage 2 trailer for The Game Awards 2018, and it certainly delivered. This two-minute trailer is a virtual flyby of what seems to be the entire Rage 2 map. Surprise! There's insane shit happening in all ...

Here's one of the, ahem, stranger things to come out of The Game Awards 2018. There's a video game tie-in to the upcoming third season. The awkwardly-titled Stranger Things 3: The Game is a 16-bit adaption that follows the events...

I don't mean to alarm you, but Raiden just made Scorpion's head explode in front of a live studio audience. Ed Boon brought the sufficiently gory debut trailer for Mortal Kombat 11 to The Game Awards, along with a fast-approaching release d...

BioWare's Casey Hudson hopped on stage early into The Game Awards to talk about... Anthem. Yes, Anthem. The studio's loot-driven sci-fi shooter with RPG elements that's launching in February. But fans of a certain other BioWare property -- ...

The Pathless is the latest project from Abzu developer Giant Squid Studios. One look at that artwork should make that fairly obvious, but The Pathless looks a lot more action-packed than its predecessor.  While Abzu was a fairly passiv...

Studio Wildcard, the developer behind dino survival game ARK: Survival Evolved, is at it again. Except it's drastically upping the stakes this time. At The Game Awards 2018, Studio Wildcard revealed Atlas. It's another survival MMO -- but ...
