Obsidian’s The Outer Worlds threw players into the far-reaches of an alternate universe where US President William McKinley was never assassinated at the Pan-American Exposition in 1901, Theodore Roosevelt never became president or implemented anti-trust laws, and unregulated corporations embarked on space-faring colonial expeditions to spread a form of indentured capitalism across the cosmos. With a premise as striking as that, it’s not surprising that the different endings of the game have radically different implications for the future of the galaxy....

The inimitable Android: Netrunner card game is drawing to a close after six years. For those not in the know, Android: Netrunner is a two-player, asymmetrical, cyberpunk heist competitive card game made by Fantasy Flight Games, based on an original design from the ’90s by Richard Garfield, the creator of Magic: The Gathering. Wizards Of The Coast, which still own the rights to that original design, had been licensing the game to Fantasy Flight for the past 6 years....

A lot of people are talking about the impending showdown between the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X this holiday season, as both systems will try to win over the audience during that crucial first Christmas sales period. There is another war brewing on the Nintendo side of things, as Animal Crossing: New Horizons has become the first game to threaten Mario Kart 8 Deluxe’s title as the best-selling Switch game of all time....

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a game that has a little something for everyone. And with its nearly bi-weekly updates, it’s getting new content all of the time—and almost all of it is free. However, there is one piece of content that has been free but wasn’t originally supposed to be. That’s why Nintendo has announced that the Animal Crossing: New Horizons Amiibo poster catalog bug (which allowed you to get posters without buying cards) has been fixed....

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is about to get yet another crossover to spice up the island life for residents. The Sanrio Collaboration Pack is coming to the life sim, and it will be available to pick up from Target on March 26. The Nintendo of America president Doug Bowser announced last year that the Switch game’s frequent updates would continue throughout 2021 - an effort to combat the game’s drop in sales towards the latter half of last year....

Jonathan Majors (Lovecraft Country, Da 5 Bloods) will be joining the third Ant-Man movie. Officially, he has an unnamed lead role, opposite the returning Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly; unofficially, as per rumors and “sources close to the project,” Majors will play the classic Marvel villain Kang the Conqueror. If that’s true, it’s one more step towards the imminent debut of the fan-favorite Young Avengers team in the MCU. Kang, a time-traveling warlord, was created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in 1964’s Avengers #8....

Respawn Entertainment’s Director of Communications has hit back at Apex Legends hackers, saying that they “achieved nothing of value.” In case you missed the news, Apex Legends was recently hacked by a group of agitated Titanfall fans. The original Titanfall has been almost unplayable on PC for years due to a group of racist hackers, causing the game’s already small playerbase to slowly disappear. In an act of what seems like foolish desperation, hackers recently took over Apex Legend’s playlists to try and spread awareness....

The ongoing legal disputes surrounding Epic Games’ Fortnite will have long-lasting ramifications for the video game industry, whenever all parties involved finally receive a ruling on the matter. However, new legislation in Arizona could mark a major victory for Fortnite, and other games, if it’s passed into law. Of course, it faces its own hurdles in the Arizona Supreme Court, so Epic Games may want to hold off on celebrating just yet....

This article contains spoilers for Archer season 11 episode 8. It’s definitely been a very memorable season for Archer. The show’s 11th year has successfully pulled Sterling Archer out of his multi-season coma and forced both him and his inner-circle to adjust to the many changes that they’ve faced. This season has featured Archer at his most alone and miserable, but it’s also highlighted a newly repentant side of the character....

The design of the PS5 isn’t for everyone, but this reimagined Spider-Man: Miles Morales version almost definitely is. A week has passed since the Future of Gaming PS5 reveal event, and there has been a lot to digest. Not just via the numerous games revealed to be coming to the next-gen console, but also the design of the PS5, and the distinct lack of a price tag. It’s looking more and more likely that gamers won’t know how much the PS5 and Xbox Series X cost until they go to buy one on release day....

As many know, names are powerful in storytelling. A weak name is less likely to capture the awe of a story, while many names often carry a major underlying meaning. At the very least, they add definition to characters and help establish that identity, which has always been key to the Assassin’s Creed franchise. Despite a variety of changes in time and settings, powerful names like Ezio Auditore de Firenze all the way to Bayek of Siwa have remained a constant....

There’s a lot to be said about the Nintendo 64’s accomplishments, shortcomings, and legacy, but when most people think back on their time with the console, it’s hardly a surprise that they tend to focus on its best games. While you could certainly make the argument that the PlayStation had the stronger overall library of games (or at least a greater diversity of experiences in its top 100 games), the N64 is rightfully remembered as the home of an elite group of titles that changed gaming forever as they stole the hearts of a generation who love them for their innovations, charm, and, ability to bring friends together for multiplayer memories that would last a lifetime....

10 Change: Fix The Drift 9 Keep: Capture Button 8 Change: 3DS Support 7 Keep: The Retro Consoles 6 Change: The Dock 5 Keep: The Size As it stands right now the size of the Switch is perfect for most adult hands. It could maybe weigh a little less, but other than that, most people don’t seem to have any issues with the size. While the idea of getting something akin to a 3DS XL for the Switch seems appealing, it might get too unruly to hold....

The world has been given a glimpse at even more unused Pokémon designs, as several development builds & demos of Pokémon Gold & Silver have leaked online, showing some tantalizing glances at games that could have been. Despite The Pokémon Company’s best efforts, the gaming world has become enthralled with all of this unseen Pokémon lore that has made its way online. The early days of the Pokémon franchise were filled with experimental ideas and awesome concepts, all of which were washed away when the series became too big to tamper with its formula....

It’s safe to assume that the new trailer of Baldur’s Gate 3 took most of us by surprise, showing off a new game in a franchise that has not received an actual sequel in 20 years, excluding DLCs and enhanced editions. We also learned that it is developed by Larian Studios, the same team behind the Divinity: Original Sin games, which was great news, looking at the quality of said franchise, especially Divinity: Original Sin II....

This A Discovery of Witches article contains season two spoilers.

A film adaptation of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is currently in the works and, per BuzzFeed, the script is nearly complete. Last month, we reported that a movie or TV show relating to the game could soon be announced following Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy confirming that “something” was afoot. And the above source is now asserting that a film is what’s being worked on. BuzzFeed claims three sources close to the project have told them that the movie is being written by Laeta Kalogridis, who worked on Avatar and Shutter Island, and that the script is all but finished, with production further along than expected....
