The curtain has finally been drawn back on the game once known as Assassin’s Creed Ragnarok. Now that Assassin’s Creed Valhalla has formally been announced, Ubisoft is beginning to really give fans an idea of what to expect later this year, and that includes how it will expand upon the role-playing mechanics seen in recent entries like AC Odyssey. Ubisoft Montreal is the studio that got the ball rolling on the series’ move towards more RPG-influenced gameplay with 2017’s AC Origins, and now it’s leading the development of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla....

With Insomniac Games’ Spider-Man launching soon, fans are gearing up to take on the big city as the web-slinging hero. Many fans are wondering how long it will take to beat Spider-Man when it launches on September 7, and today one team member at Insomniac gave some insight as to how long the game will be (on average). According to James Stevenson, Community Director at Insomniac, the average playtester beat the game in around 20 hours on the default difficulty, but players who want to experience all the content the game has to offer will spend even more time with the game....

Everyone who plays and enjoys video games is likely familiar with Reggie Fils-Aieé. As one of, if not the most, iconic members of Nintendo’s company history, Reggie Fils-Aime played a huge role in Nintendo’s public image for 16 years. Known for his charisma and the many memes he spawned through his work, Reggie Fils-Aime brought a traditionally conservative Nintendo back to the forefront of games as the unique presence seen in the games industry today....

Although leaks and rumors spoiled parts of the announcement, Bungie finally answered questions on what’s next for the studio and its popular franchise. Destiny 2: Shadowkeep is the next big piece of content following the end of the current season, bringing back Eris Morn as well as the Moon as a destination. The expansion also holds many more updates, changes, and fan requests including more customizable armor than ever before....

Grand Theft Auto 5’s multiplayer mode, Grand Theft Auto Online, has already offered up some integration with upcoming western Red Dead Redemption 2. Players were able to unlock a golden double action revolver by following a map and gathering clues that hinted at the weapon’s location. That was a fun quest for fans of both game series but it seems that it’s not the end of the partnership between the two titles....

Adam Sandler’s real-life love for the game of basketball is on full display in Hustle, an ode to pro basketball featuring a gigantic supporting cast of NBA legends and rising stars. The feel-good sports drama is a straightforward underdog story in essence, but its true strengths lie in how it delves into the psychology of the game, and the front office intrigue that fans seldom get to see. Viral clips of Sandler pulling up to random public parks and gyms to play pick-up basketball games with awestruck civilians have been circulating online for years, so it seems natural that his obsession with the game would bleed into his onscreen work....

Of the many features and gameplay elements that Ikenfell boasts, one that has been receiving a lot of attention are its accessibility options. Other games such as The Last of Us 2 have been adding new features that help players of varying physical capabilities beat the game, but this new Indie game takes the ins and outs of potential player sensitivity to a whole new level. Joanna Blackhart, one of the developers who worked on Ikenfell’s writing and sensitivity, spoke to Game Rant on the work that went into these features behind the scenes and how other developers can implement these options as well....

With VALORANT finally upon us in an official capacity as of a little over a week ago, players are still wondering when exactly the game will receive its ranked mode. After a closed beta period of two months, VALORANT got its full release on June 2nd, and since then players all over the world have been clamoring to get in on the action. But weirdly enough, there’s been a fair amount of pessimism since then about Riot Games’ first-person tactical shooter, showing clearly through Metacritic’s conglomeration of average-at-best ratings from users (while critics’ reviews are pretty damn stellar by contrast)....

Home is where the heart is, allegedly. For Red Dead Redemption 2, Dutch’s gang exemplifies this notion. Arthur lives and interacts with the members of the gang at camp both nonchalantly and intimately, evoking the feeling of home amongst his diverse family that he’s known for so long. It’s a special relationship, one that’s never really been seen in a Grand Theft Auto game before. Grand Theft Auto 5 was the closest example with Michael’s house and family, but even his family was both a satirization and the polar opposite to the relationship with Dutch’s gang and their encampment....

The trouble with announcing you’re going to be making a trilogy of movies is that, well, you have to then make a trilogy of movies. And Halloween Kills, the second part of the franchise reboot, which serves as a direct sequel to John Carpenter’s 1978 classic, is a significant step down after the refreshingly respectful, competent, and creepy 2018 Halloween. “Evil dies tonight” runs the mantra of the Haddonfield residents who are suddenly confronted with the same masked menace who terrified them 40 years ago....

Updates continue to release about once a month for the upcoming Halo Infinite. A more open approach for the series, Infinite shows Master Chief’s adventures on the Zeta Halo where he confronts a Banished contingent led by the vicious Brute Escharum. Of course, when it comes to a Halo game, any seasoned fan knows that the single=player campaign is only half of the story. Halo Infinite’s multiplayer has been a source of much discussion by both the fans and the devs since the game was announced....

Everyone is keenly aware that circumstances have changed for our dear Dr. Jones as we head into the fifth (and ostensibly final) Indiana Jones film. For starters, director Steven Spielberg opted for the first time in the franchise’s history to relinquish the director’s reins, leaving the still untitled Indiana Jones 5 in the hands of director James Mangold. Additionally, Harrison Ford’s beloved fedora-wearing alter-ego is no longer the youthful underdog from the original trilogy of films in the 1980s....

As the Harry Potter: Wizards Unite community wraps up week 2 of the adorable Baby Beasts Brilliant Event, it’s already time to jump right into the next big activity. This month features another exciting Wizarding Weekend and this time around witches and wizards will be celebrating some of the legendary icons of Hogwarts during the two day event full of bonuses and special rewards. The upcoming Wizarding Weekend event in Harry Potter: Wizards Unite begins on July 24 and tasks players with spending a weekend encountering some legends of Hogwarts in the mobile AR game....

Hitting shelves back in 1994 in Japan, the PlayStation is already over 20 years old. Most modern gamers grew up with one of these in their living room, and the image must no doubt bring back fond memories. Though the PS2 is what most would consider the most successful of the Sony consoles, the original PlayStation got things started and served as an introduction to the world of video games for many....

Released back in 1990, no one really knew what to expect from this low-budget family comedy about a boy forced to defend his house from a pair of bungling burglars after being accidentally left behind from a family holiday. There are countless reasons why it remains a festive classic; John Hughes’s script, Chris Columbus’s deft direction, the work of cinematographer Kevin Macat and John Williams’s score are just a few examples....

Horizon Zero Dawn was released in 2017 exclusively for the PlayStation 4 console and ended up being one of the most successful new IPs of the generation. Horizon Forbidden West is set to release sometime this year, and from what can be gleaned from the trailer, it definitely looks like it could be a worthy sequel. As one of the biggest games coming out for the PS5 generation this year, it needs to be....

This House of the Dragon article contains spoilers for episode 4. The opening moments of House of the Dragon episode 4 “King of the Narrow Sea” feature an unfortunate but necessary bit of Westerosi politicking. In an attempt to humor her father, Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen (Milly Alcock) has arrived at Storm’s End to hear marriage proposals from all the would-be suitors of the realm. After the old and tedious Lord Dondarrion has his say, another claimant for Rhaenyra’s hand steps forward: an extremely young unnamed royal lad from House Blackwood in the Riverlands....
