Hyper Scape players got some exciting news during today’s Ubisoft Forward event, where the game devs revealed that a new limited-time mode would be added: Turbo Mode. They showed off how high-stakes and high-octane the mode will be, and that’s something Hyper Scape players may be interested in looking into. Hyper Scape is a fast-paced FPS battle royale that is going to have its pace amped up even higher with the arrival of Turbo Mode on September 15....

A promotional jacket for Cyberpunk 2077 from this year’s E3 has found its way onto eBay, with multiple listings going for upwards of $400. However, CD Projekt Red, the developers of Cyberpunk, would prefer if fans buy merchandise directly from their site, rather than from online scalpers. Business Development Chief Rafal Jaki made a tweet Thursday stating that a similar version would be available on CD Projekt Red’s website in the future....

While there are many recurring enemies in Immortals Fenyx Rising, including Greek mythology staples such as the chimeras, gorgons, and griffins, the most common enemy that Fenyx will have to face down against are the Spartoi. Humanoid soldiers taken over by Typhon’s powers, these enemies, while often easy to defeat in early sections of the game, will usually have the numbers advantage and can easily overwhelm unsuspecting players. For the most part, Spartoi come in four varieties: Brutes, Champions, Captains, and the most common variation, the Warriors....

Earlier this year Injustice 2 director Ed Boon teased a DLC character that was unlike anything that developer NetherRealm Studios has ever created. Now we know what he meant by that. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are joining the Injustice 2 roster as the final DLC character. Yes, all four turtles count as a single fighter. The full Injustice 2 Fighter Pack 3 DLC roster was revealed at the tail end of a recent tournament for the game, but only as part of a cinematic trailer....

12 Minutes began life as a far larger project, but it wasn’t long until creative director Luis Antonio saw the importance in scale, and how forcing the player into a smaller, more claustrophobic environment could make the experience all the more memorable. It’s this confined idea of procedural decision making that helped the game make such a splash upon its initial reveal, and the finishing touches are finally being put on the long-awaited adventure....

In Far Cry New Dawn, the apocalypse wasn’t enough to stop Hope County from regrowing - though it took several years for nuclear winter to give way to a colorful new beginning. In the game, players will take refuge at a base with the hopeful name of Prosperity, and it’ll be filled with equally-hopeful inhabitants. Like its predecessor, Far Cry New Dawn won’t make players go through the game alone: Prosperity is home to a healthy selection of guns for hire, which is Ubisoft lingo for AI companions with special abilities....

People started sharing New World‘s initial player count figures earlier this morning when the game officially launched in select regions, and the results were shocking. As of 10 A.M. EST this morning, the game already had nearly 525,000 concurrent players via Steam. While those numbers are always a little tricky to depend on so far as absolute accuracy goes, that ballpark figure alone already suggests that New World is by far one of the most successful new games of the year and one of the most successful we’ve seen on Steam in quite some time....

Grounded has a lot of weapons that you can craft throughout your adventure. However, there are some weapons that are only viable for beginner players that are building their very first base and other weapons that you can only unlock towards the end-game. Weapons crafted from boss parts, for example, are some of the best weapons in the game; however, it takes a lot of effort and skill to be able to acquire the necessary materials to craft them....

There have been plenty of prominent figures from the movie industry who have decided to turn their talents toward video games. Steven Spielberg had a hand in EA’s Boom Blox, The Wachowski Siblings took a hands-on approach to Enter the Matrix and its sequel, Path of Neo, and Peter Jackson reportedly collaborated with Michael Ancel on King Kong. However, there are few directors whose sensibilities fit the video game mould better than Guillermo Del Toro....

Halo 3 — arguably one of the most iconic shooters of all time — turns 13 years old today.

From minor quality of life enhancements to newly realized Scarab fights on PC, this refined and polished iteration of the game has breathed new life into the denouement of John Halo’s original trilogy....

At the time of this writing, there is virtually nothing that we know about Halo 6 except that it is in development at 343 Industries. However, a recent job posting may confirm a new detail about the game, mainly that it will feature 4K visual resolution and run at 60 frames per second - at least when it comes to the Xbox One X, anyway. Halo 6 developer 343 Industries is hiring a Lead Graphics Engineer to work on “the next big Halo shooter experience” as well as other future Halo titles....

Last week, Jam City launched the first in-game event for Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery in the form of the Too Cool for School event.

Us old-school Tomb Raider fans no doubt all have a little heart palpitation whenever we see something new uploaded by Nicobass. This time, it’s a short video clip which shows off the iconic quad bike racetrack at Croft Manor from the shiny HD remake of Tomb Raider 2 which Nicobass and his team are working on. Yes, you’re correct in thinking that there is no quad bike track in the original Tomb Raider 2....

For over a year, Final Fantasy developer Tetsuya Nomura promised that Final Fantasy Versus 13 was not cancelled. Even after two (!) Final Fantasy 13 sequels were announced, Nomura stuck to his guns and proclaimed Versus 13 was still coming. And at E3 2013, Final Fantasy Versus 13 finally appeared, albeit in a form most didn’t expect. At Sony’s E3 Press Conference, Square Enix revealed that Final Fantasy Versus 13, the highly anticipated offshoot of FF13 proper, had now been turned into Final Fantasy 15....

While the recent iterations of the Hitman franchise have been praised as some of the best of the series, right before the episodic reboot was a more controversial entry. With the recent reveal of Hitman 3 at the PlayStation 5 event, players have the free chance to try a highly debated title from a generation back. Good Old Games is running a weekend promotion by giving away 2012’s Hitman: Absolution for free....

This House of Cards review contains spoilers. It is based on the first six episodes. It’s impossible to watch the new season of House of Cards without the shadow of the current U.S political situation — and the turbulent election that got us here — hanging over it. Even though the show started production on its fifth 13-episode run (the first with new showrunners Melissa James Gibson and Frank Pugliese at the helm, replacing creator Beau Willimon) before last November’s election results — and the tragicomedy that has unfolded ever since — stunned the nation and the world, the serpentine storylines that the show is unfurling this year seem like they’re ripped right from the headlines of a parallel universe just this side of ours....
