With Halo: Infinite hit by a shocking delay earlier this year, fans found it confusing how the postponed sequel’s advertising continued to be pushed by several major brands. Monster Energy brandished double XP codes for the sci-fi shooter despite it releasing next year, while Taco Bell plugged the Series X and Halo Infinite in a recent promo. It seems the decision was made by 343 Industries to continue marketing Halo Infinite and offering exclusive offers through certain brands due to the company introducing a new system on Halo Waypoint....

Happy Death Day was released in 2017 and was an instant horror-comedy success, even spawning a 2019 sequel....

For the past few months, developer Jam City has established a pattern of releasing new story content for Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery on Thursdays, usually one or two chapters at a time. However, this past Thursday came and went with no new story content, leaving some fans to wonder why Year 4 Chapter 15 has yet to be added to Hogwarts Mystery.

Guerrilla Games’ new IP Horizon Zero Dawn was an instant classic when it first released on the PS4. Although the game was challenged by some stiff competition for Game of the Year, it still made a strong enough impression to convince Sony to make a sequel for PS5. On top of that, Sony has also made the very rare decision to port Horizon Zero Dawn to the PC. Playing Horizon Zero Dawn on the PC delivers the quintessential open-world experience that fans of the genre want....

That’s what Ryan Condal, who serves as co-showrunner with Miguel Sapochnik, tells us when he sits down with Den of Geek magazine (out Thursday) to discuss the Game of Thrones prequel. Described in George R.R. Martin’s fictional history of the Targaryen family, Fire & Blood, as “Lord Flea Bottom” and “Prince of the City,” Daemon always seemed destined to be a juicy role for any actor....

The ranger class in Dungeons & Dragons is underpowered. It can be a fun class to play, but it falls short when compared to other classes and in its own unique abilities. Many home Dungeons & Dragons games use a different version, and recent video games have taken to changing the way the class works to balance it out. Solasta: Crown of the Magister, a new Early Access PC game, went for a simple-yet-effective approach....

You can actually use it with other devices, services and games. That’s thanks to Google allowing users to switch it into Bluetooth mode only, so that you can connect it to any support device. It will be a permanent switch, but once Stadia itself closes, it’ll have no other purpose than as a doorstop....

It feels like pretty much everything that could possibly be written about Breath of the Wild has already been written, although people still seem to be finding new ways to do it all the same. Depending on who you ask, Breath of the Wild is either a genre-defining and genre-defying masterpiece or a joyless time sink that drops you down in the middle of nowhere with nothing but a bundle of rags, a stick, and no idea of where to go....

The rumours mill has done what it does best and churned out something that seems genuinely exciting at first glance - A Marvel fighting game made by the team at NetherRealm Studios. As truly fantastic as that sounds, NetherRealm’s other comic book fighting series deserves a proper conclusion before we move on. With that rumour now being out there and Ed Boon actively playing into it on Twitter, I can already see a lot of players are inevitably going to be disappointed if NetherRealm’s next game ends up being Injustice 3....

One curious modder for Grand Theft Auto 5 pits 100 tanks against a single train in Rockstar Games’ open world title to see if the locomotive is stoppable. As many gaming fans will attest, the world of Grand Theft Auto 5 has spawned its fair share of oddities and mysteries in the base game alone, such as a lot of players’ obsession with blowing up the Land Act Dam in Los Santos in an attempt to flood the city....

Given its already existing open world filled with hoverbikes and orbital strikes, who could have ever thought Grand Theft Auto Online would get any wonkier? First introduced in the game’s PS4 and Xbox One release, the peyote plant was an interesting side activity that made playing as Trevor all the more enjoyable. After he ingests the plant, Trevor then falls into a trippy trance and comes out the other side as an animal, which typically coincides with the area the plant was found in....
