A Blizzard fan has produced a shot-for-shot remake of the trailer for this summer’s blockbuster Warcraft movie adaptation using nothing but footage from World of Warcraft. This summer’s movie adaptation of Warcraft looks set to be one of the most faithful video game to movie transitions ever constructed. However, one fan has produced a version of the trailer that’s even more accurate to its source material — because it uses footage taken directly from World of Warcraft....

Video game developer Rockstar Games adds a new car and customization features with an update to its open world multiplayer experience in Grand Theft Auto Online. It’s no secret at this point that Rockstar Games has been focusing on keeping Grand Theft Auto Online flush with content, especially since the studio just recently introduced a new bike and game mode called Vehicle Vendetta to the multiplayer aspect of GTA 5 about a week ago....

Rockstar Games releases a new Grand Theft Auto Online Valentine’s Day update, introducing new maps for an Adversary Mode, while also offering double rewards and discounts. As Grand Theft Auto Online continues to make bank, Rockstar Games continues to give players of its multiplayer sandbox a reason to keep playing and spending money in the game. Already this year, the company has given players a new bike to buy and a brand new Adversary Mode that sees them pick up powerups in their vehicles....

Modding communities continue to be some of the greatest forces combining popular video game franchises, and this Half-Life: Alyx fan exemplifies this with an interesting BioShock mod. The project is called Return to Rapture, and it’s an intriguing addition to the creative Half-Life modding community. Return to Rapture combines Half-Life: Alyx with BioShock by taking one of the most powerful antagonistic forces in the Half-Life universe, the Combine, and having it set its sights on BioShock’s city of Rapture....

The Halo universe has one of the most expansive universes in all of gaming. Xbox’s flagship franchise has a number of unique and fascinating aliens in its universe regardless of whether they are a part of the villainous Covenant or not. One of the most recognizable enemies and aliens are the pretty pathetic but also lovable Grunts. Grunts, also known by the real species name of Unggoy, have been around the games since the very beginning in Combat Evolved’s opening level on the original Xbox....

Custom match types have a long history in the Halo franchise. Who’s to say if the original Halo’s multiplayer would have been as popular as it was without rockets-only, infinite grenades, and other match options. That customizability has grown in subsequent Halo releases, with the introduction of Forge in Halo 3, and with the Halo franchise being brought to PC. Now 343 want’s to make it easier than ever to find custom Halo experiences, as it’s introducing a custom game browser into Halo: The Master Chief Collection....

The rumors regarding a potential release window for Halo Infinite have officially been shot down by the Community Director of 343 Industries. A huge blow was dealt to the Xbox Series X launch line-up earlier this year when it was revealed that Halo Infinite was delayed to 2021. This meant that the Xbox Series X lost its most high-profile game at launch, and the lack of a solid release date led to all kinds of rumors circulating about the game....

Every Thursday, developer Jam City releases a new update for Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery, the commercially successful mobile game based on the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. This Thursday was no different, but unfortunately for fans who want to see what happens next in the main story, the latest update for Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery didn’t add Year 5 Chapter 11. Instead of adding Year 5 Chapter 11 to Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery this week, Jam City added a new limited-time side quest about rounding up missing magical beasts with Hagrid and Professor Kettleburn....

Haruki Satomi has been appointed the new group CEO of Sega Sammy Holdings. He will replace Sammy Corporation founder Hajime Satomi, who will stay on at the company as chairman and representative director. Haruki Satomi had previously been the company’s president and group COO. Sammy Corporation, a Tokyo-based developer and retailer of pachinko and pachislot machines, merged with Sega in 2004, which led to the creation Sega Sammy Holdings. Sammy Corporation, founded on November 1, 1975, expanded into video game publishing in the 1990s with fighting games such as the Guilty Gear series, developed by Arc System Works, the Rumble Fish series, developed by Dimps, and Survival Arts....

Members of the Hearthstone team spent some time on Reddit recently to do a Developer AMA, and a ton of information was revealed about the future of the game. Game Director Ben Lee and other members of the team spoke about upcoming changes to the Basic and Classic sets, Battlegrounds, Arena, Nerfs and Buffs, Expansions, and much more. An Undead Tribe? One of the best answers in the entire AMA came to the question about how the undead might be incorporated into the game....

In an interview headed by IGN’s Ryan McCaffrey, Phil Spencer revealed some insight into his thought-process concerning the Xbox Series X launch line-up. Firstly, Spencer confirmed that everything is still looking on-track for the new console’s launch this fall. He did mention that the safety and security of the team comes first and foremost, but there have been no talks of “plan B” strategies as of yet. Regarding the launch line-up, Spencer emphasized how they only want talk about games that will undoubtedly be ready in time....

Yu-Gi-Oh! is one of the biggest manga success stories of recent years. Since its not-so-humble beginnings in Weekly Shonen Jump magazine (in which it was serialized from 1996 to 2004), it’s spawned a pretty darn huge multimedia franchise. In 1998, the first of two Yu-Gi-Oh! anime series started to air. For many of us, this is the series as we know it, following the increasingly bizarre and implausible adventures (this is anime, after all, and that’s what we love it for) of our hero Yugi Mutou....

Hood: Outlaws and Legends tries to find the next big thing in multiplayer gaming by throwing a bunch of gameplay mechanics into a pot and hoping it all turns into a fine gumbo. It’s a PvPvE multiplayer title where you’re supposed to outwit A.I.-controlled enemies to steal some gold while also contending with human players who want that loot for themselves. It’s a cool concept that feels like it should lead to some interesting gameplay scenarios....

Disney has and always will be a part of our childhoods. We grew up with them and learned valuable lessons to help us grow as a person. Whether they are the memorable movies or television shows, we will always look back on the House of Mouse for giving us great memories to remember. Unfortunately, Disney has been known to be a huge giant corporate sellout, especially with its recent shows. They figured that the way to make more money is to follow the trend everyone is talking about without putting effort unlike Walt Disney’s hard work in the last century....

This article contains House of the Dragon spoilers through episode 8 and some light spoilers for Fire & Blood. In House of the Dragon‘s fifth episode “We Light the Way,” the beleaguered king of the Seven Kingdoms Viserys I Targaryen (Paddy Considine) poses a question to his Lord Hand Lyonel Strong (Gavin Spokes). “Will I be remembered as a good king, Lyonel?” Viserys asks. The time to answer that question is perhaps not in that moment....

The lead character in Stranger Of Paradise Final Fantasy Origin (colons are dead) wants to kill Chaos. Whether Chaos is a person, a demon, or a concept made manifest, I have no idea. The game’s demo is now fixed but I haven’t had the chance to play it, and the trailer itself didn’t have anything to hint at exactly what Chaos is - all I know is that Mr. Stranger of Paradise wants to kill it, a fact he repeats over and over and over again until you’re convinced he has some sort of Woody-from-Toy-Story-style pull string on his back, with “I’m going to kill Chaos!...

Ah, homeownership. While it may now seem like a distant dream to many members of the next generation, at least gamers can still experience the joy of owning land in a large variety of digital adventures. But what exactly would it cost to buy a pixelated palace in the real world? As it turns out, many iconic video game abodes are actually pretty affordable, according to a new report done by L&C Mortgage in London....

The Final Fantasy series has its fair share of wizards, in the form of the black/white/red mage classes that have existed since the first game in the series, but the sorceresses became a major part of the franchise in Final Fantasy VIII, when a time-traveling sorceress known as Ultimecia was used as the main villain. Ultimecia has since appeared in other Final Fantasy crossover games and demonstrated other arcane abilities outside of the ones used in Final Fantasy VIII, so we have an idea of how she could be turned into a playable Dungeons & Dragons character....

Without a doubt, Bethesda hosted an incredibly big E3 2018 press conference that contained such huge announcements as The Elder Scrolls 6 being in development, the existence of the all-new sci-fi franchise Starfield, news that Fallout: 76 is an online multiplayer title, and more. Alongside these bombshells were more minuscule announcements, but important nonetheless, as Bethesda’s Todd Howard revealed the existence of The Elder Scrolls: Blades, an Android and iOS title which can be pre-registered for now....

The latest update for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare added some new content to the popular first-person shooter, including a brand new weapon in the form of the MK9 Bruen LMG. Like any other new weapon added to the game, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare fans no doubt want to add the MK9 Bruen LMG to their arsenal, and as it turns out, there are a couple of different ways to get that done....
