As more information about Apex Legends Season 7 is being released, fans are noticing some changes in both World’s Edge and King’s Canyon. As Apex Legends is approaching Season 7 and is currently in the middle of the Fight or Fright Halloween event, a large object has appeared in the sky and some fans have realized the object has made an appearance in the game before. The UFO in the sky appears to be an oddly shaped ship, with three egg-shaped pods attached....

Mystery meat purveyor Arby’s has tweeted out a course ID for an official Super Mario Maker 2 level. The level now exists among the elite ranks of past branded video games including 7-Up’s Cool Spot, Burger King’s Sneak King, and Chex Quest. Titled simply “The Arby’s Level”,it’s a fairly short experience, featuring minor obstacles and spinning blades (or as Arby’s calls them, “Meat Slicers”) as well as coins spelling out the franchises slogan, “We Have The Meats....

Music is a huge part of Hades, and has always been very important to Supergiant’s games as a whole. When picturing what sort of rock band the characters from the game might create, it’d be tempting to assume Orpheus and Eurydice would be at the front. Both of these characters are regaled in game and in mythology as amazing musicians after all, but that’s not what Twitter user the witch rachel (@rachelvice) had in mind....

Heroes are only as good as their villains, and the evildoers in the Assassin’s Creed series have always been The Templars. This villainous order has taken many forms throughout the years, from actual Templar Knights to politicians to high-ranking religious officials. No matter who the members are, they all want to control the world as they think that’s the only way to bring peace. Players have spent years not just fighting these villains but making memes about them....

Death, taxes, and Assassin’s Creed. For nearly two decades, Ubisoft has shown fans amazing historic time periods throughout the franchise, everywhere from Renaissance Rome to Ancient Egypt. Players have talked about all of life’s beautiful wonders with Perikles or become a master flyter after raiding a British settlement with your Viking brethren. Although the events of Assassin’s Creed are purely fictional (sorry, Leonardo Da Vinci definitely was not a secret assassin), all of the locations accurately depicted their respective time periods....

Dungeons & Dragons has been the epitome of super nerdom since 1974, and I mean that in the best way possible. I’m all for something that is all about exploiting very constrictive rules for amusing loopholes, and pretending you are a Necromancer. I’ll admit, my dalliances in D&D are sparse, but what I have experienced, I’ve immediately loved. And since in this day and age, nerdy stuff is creeping up out of the shadows and becoming more socially acceptable thanks to shows like Community or Stranger Things and celebrities like Vin Diesel, the internet can now openly start sharing jokes about some of the most ridiculous things they’ve encountered in the world of tabletop gaming....

David “Aqua” Wang, a Fortnite World Cup Champion and Season 4 Fortnite Champion Series competitor is being accused of stream-sniping. The 18 year old player from Austria has reportedly received a 14 day ban by Epic Games as a result of these allegations. The allegations of stream-sniping came about following some increasing drama between Aqua’s squad, compromised of Aqua, Noahreyli, and Rezon, and their European rival team consisting of MrSavage, benjyfishy, and LeTsHe....

NASA’s Juno spacecraft was designed to help us explore Jupiter and analyse the planet to assess how giant planets like it help with the formation of other planets. It’s thought that by studying Jupiter scientists will be able to better understand how our solar system formed. Juno originally launched back in 2011 and arrived in Jupiter’s orbit several years later in the middle of 2016. Since then it has been used to study all sorts of things from the planet’s gravitational fields to water and wind presence in the atmosphere....

Civilization: Beyond Earth only just released last year, but developer Firaxis Games is already preparing a follow-up. Sid Meier’s Starships is the developer’s answer to the question of “What’s Next?” after populating and civilizing extraterrestrial colonies in Beyond Earth. It also sounds pretty awesome. Starships is billed as a turn-based, adventure-driven interstellar strategy game scheduled for release in early 2015 and will hit PC, Mac, and iPad. It may sound a little different from the average Civilization experience, but Firaxis seems enthusiastic that the game will deliver all fans want....

Stepping in after Bungie left on a high note, 343 Industries has taken the reigns on Halo 4. There is a lot of weight on the developer’s shoulders, figuratively speaking, especially given Microsoft’s recent statement that there is no exclusive bigger than Halo 4. Development director Frank O’Connor recently revealed new details about Halo 4. Now, 343 Industries creative director Josh Holmes speaks out about where the studio stands on development, and where they foresee their future with the Halo series....

JRPG fans have always had a taste for more obscure, poetically-titled games. And, if you’re JRPG fan, this one’s for you: a twin pack of underappreciated genre gems are making their way to Nintendo Switch next year. Now, it’s safe to say that the PlayStation Vita just didn’t get a fair shake. During its launch back in early 2012 (December 2011 in Japan), the powerful little system promised to bring gaming experiences of home console quality to a handheld, and… well, that was a little too ambitious, to put it lightly....

A beloved Nintendo franchise might finally be returning, as a Twitter account that could be linked to an F-Zero revival has been discovered. F-Zero was a futuristic racing game for the Super Nintendo that was developed to show off the Mode 7 technology of the system, which had a faux-3D effect that made the vehicles look like they were floating on the track. The last entry in the F-Zero series was F-Zero Climax in 2004, and Nintendo has shown no interest in reviving the series since....

[UPDATE: Activision has made it official and contrary to the below rumor, the full MLG staff will be joining Activision Blizzard. Read official details here.] Major League Gaming was once the largest eSports company in all of North America, but 2015 hasn’t been a smooth ride for the eSports juggernaut.

Earlier today, it was reported that Activision-Blizzard had laid off 50 of its employees that were involved with live events. After that, Jason Schreier revealed on Twitter that the laid-off employees had received $200 gift cards for the company’s Battle Net store. Against all this turmoil, Bobby Kotick, CEO of the company, is set to benefit from a loophole that will see him given almost $200 million. Activision-Blizzard has continued to lay-off employees and close down studios over the last few years, yet the company continues to report rising profits year after year....

Many wrestling and video games fans are aware by now that the promotion All Elite Wrestling is releasing multiple AEW games. Multiple leaks and development updates about the AEW games had excited some fans of the genre, especially those who were disappointed by the recent WWE 2K games, and were likely even more excited when these were confirmed. With AEW entering the fray, WWE 2K is no longer the only promotion dominating this genre, and many fans are optimistic about what this means for wrestling video games....

Korok Seeds were an adored collectible item in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and they made a reappearance in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity. Avid fans spend hours tracking down each and every one. Most are located in story quests (though a few are discovered in optional side content). This guide will walk you through finding every Korok Seed in the Yiga Clan Hideout during the story mission: “Destory the Yiga Clan!...

Over 20 years later and DLC is still being produced and released for the real time strategy classic, this time in the form of Lords of the West, focusing on the geography and medieval kingdoms surrounding the Mediterranean.

There are very few games that have garnered more begging and pleading for a remake than Pokémon Snap. This N64 classic was released in 1999 at the peak of “PokéMania” — at a time when it seemed like Pokémon was the only thing in the world and everyone was obsessed with it. Pokémon Snap was extremely successful, and one of the best-selling games in the world at the time. Players had to photograph a total of 63 of the original 151....
