You may have spotted that Mihoyo launched a new Genshin Impact community event yesterday for in-game photographers, Windblume Snapshots. Now, since so many people participated, Mihoyo is giving away 60 Primogems to Travelers of Teyvat. To get you up to speed, Mihoyo is holding Windblume Snapshots to reward players for their best photos around the world of Genshin Impact. The developer promised yesterday that if more than 20,000 people participate in the event across Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook it would reward everyone with 60 Primogems....

Since the launch of the Outriders demo on February 25, a large number of players have been reported for using third-party software to cheat and hack in the game. These cheats are mainly used to unlock Legendary weapons and armor sets by increasing their drop rates. Not only that, but players have also been able to completely upgrade their Accolades and Skill Trees. People Can Fly confirmed that they are able to see these cheaters on their backend analytics and are working on a permanent fix....

One of the earliest gameplay concepts for Persona 5 eschewed the usual JRPG turn-based combat for a more action-based battle system. While the full release of Persona 5 still retained the staple turn-based combat from past entries, Persona 5 Strikers makes good on the first game’s original gameplay concept. Melding Musou-style real-time action combat with the elemental strategy typically found in Persona games, Strikers borrows far more from its source material than Dynasty Warriors....

Even though the series has reached peak popularity with its fifth entry, the Persona franchise has been around as long as many other long-running JRPGs. The games never really had a solid footing in western audiences until recent years, but Persona has seen great success in its home market of Japan. But with a more global audience, Persona has become quite a more mainstream JRPG thanks to the Phantom Thieves modernizing the franchise....

“I have to fix another saw blade for Gerdur’s mill.” Alvor, you’re in luck - Reddit user BrokoThiefOfCrowns has re-created the humble, Stormcloak traitor’s blacksmith in the massively successful indie game Valheim, but as of now, it’s the only part of Riverwood standing in this Zelda-like survival game. So, no mill to fix! Given that Valheim was inspired by Skyrim, it was only a matter of time before players began to tire away at chopping down trees en masse so that they could bring a little slice of snowy Nordic heaven to life - or, I suppose it’d be a slice of Sovngarde....

Not too long ago, Bluehole Studio opened a round of testing on PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds’ new island map known as Sanhok, with PC fans who own the battle royale title having been given a chance to try the fresh locale out before it goes live in the actual game. While the developer continues refine the new map and add more details with each test period, the most recent trial saw players finding mysterious golden chests taking up space in various locations around the island....

Want to get a PlayStation 5? It’ll cost you $499 if you want the standard edition with a disc drive and $399 if you want the disc-less digital edition. If you want to be among the first gamers to play PS5 exclusives like Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, the Demon’s Souls remake, and Horizon Forbidden West, then you might be interested in pre-ordering the console. Luckily, you can pre-order the console now....

In its heyday, the PlayStation was most well-known for its mascots that were created to compete with Nintendo’s offerings. Characters like Crash Bandicoot, Spyro the Dragon, and PaRappa the Rapper were known as key staples in the PlayStation brand, with newer ones popping up throughout newer generations of consoles. As the PlayStation brand progressed, so did the mascots, with Sony introducing newer franchises such as the Jak series, Sly Cooper, God of War, Ratchet & Clank, and later the Uncharted and LittleBigPlanet series....

Most fans can immediately acknowledge that Rock-type Pokémon are some of the weirdest in the franchise. This is because rocks usually aren’t alive, and there are so many creatures in the Pokémon franchise that are themed specifically around boulders and other such stones. Rock-type Pokémon usually have a secondary type and generally have multiple evolutions. These Pokémon are some of the strangest that the franchise has ever seen, and the Rock-type contributes to this factor without a doubt....

Pokémon GO’s Abra Community Day, which was supposed to take place in March, has been rescheduled and had stay-at-home friendly elements added to it. In this current crazy and uncertain global climate, most video games just have to be there in order to succeed. More people will have been gaming than ever before these last couple of weeks, as almost everyone looks for something to pass the time. However, the one game people aren’t able to play as much is Pokémon GO....

Wooloo was one of the best Pokémon introduced with the Galar region. Fans quickly came to adore it ever since it was shown in the trailer because of its adorable design and interesting abilities. Players can easily catch this creature at the beginning of the game all the way to the end and it’s definitely a worthwhile capture. This list will rank some of the best facts that most fans didn’t know about the little sheep creature....

Here’s where you can find Pincurchin in Pokémon Sword & Shield. Completing the trio of adorable butt-faced Pokémon is Pincurchin, the electric sea urchin. Surprisingly not dual Water and Electric-Type, this shocking spiky boi is a rare find in Sword & Shield, with many trainers going until hours before finally encountering one. Pincurchin isn’t particularly powerful, possessing decent offense and superb defense but absolutely miserable Speed. Expect your Pincurchin to always take the first hit and go through a lot of Potions if you decide to use one in your journey to becoming a Pokémon Master....

Catching and breeding might be the most common ways to get new party members in the Pokémon series, but there have always been tons of other ways to get new and rare Pokémon. This includes Gift Pokémon, which are typically uncommon species that various other trainers and characters give to you through your journey. This has existed since Pokémon Red & Blue, but Pokémon Sword & Shield has its own wide range of Pokémon that any trainer can get just from talking to NPCs....

The Underground was always one of my favourite parts about Gen 4, so it’s safe to say that I’m absolutely delighted to see that it’s being brought back for Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. If you tuned into today’s Pokemon 25 presentation, you’ll probably already know that Nintendo is remaking Pokemon Diamond and Pearl as Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. However, Game Freak isn’t at the helm of development for these new titles, instead working on a different game that’s also set in Sinnoh, but several hundred years ago: Pokemon Legends Arceus....

The current big event in Pokemon GO is the Team GO Rocket Celebration Event. While it is running, players will find themselves going up against members of Team GO Rocket more often than usual with the leaders also gaining new parties of Pokemon. One of the leaders of Team GO Rocket is Arlo, a foe with an often unpredictable, but powerful team. One Pokemon of his that Pokemon GO players may find themselves going up against is Arlo’s Gardevoir....

Now that the legendary Steel-type Pokemon Registeel is available as a raid boss in Pokemon GO, many players may be wondering how to take down this powerful member of the legendary golem trio. As a Gen 3 tier 5 legendary, many fans will want to add to their collection since Regice has served as a raid boss and Regirock is likely next. First off, Pokemon GO fans should know that Registeel has a total of 30,596 CP with an interesting moveset but several viable counters....

Pokemon GO players are likely using this weekend to complete the new Special Research storyline and earn their first encounter with Genesect. After those activities are finished, players may want to start looking forward to the next big opportunity: Landorus Battle Raids. Although Pokemon GO is putting an emphasis on activities that can be completed indoors and without group interactions, it seems like the Battle Raid boss rotation must go on....

If Pokemon GO players thought the last month of 2020 was full of events and new Pokemon, get ready for January. It will be jam-packed full of goodies to kick off the new year right when it comes to catching Pokemon. Trainers will have new Research Breakthrough Encounters, challenging Pokemon to catch in both five-star and Mega-Raids, Pokemon Spotlight Hours, a New Year’s themed event and more. We break it down for you all right here....

Pokemon GO players have been asking developer Niantic to introduce trading since the game launched back in the summer of 2016. However, one concern that has prevailed is that such a gameplay feature would allow scammers to thrive and in turn create an illicit market where people buy and sell the rarest Pokemon. When Niantic officially announced Pokemon GO trading earlier this week, the developer didn’t explicitly say that it had installed measures to combat that sort of use, but it didn’t need to....

Europe is in line for some region exclusive Pokemon spawning for Pokemon GO in certain cities this weekend. Niantic has decided to reward European players in 46 different cities across more than 15 different countries. Starting this weekend and going through August 21, players in these specific cities will be able to catch the previously rare Pokemon Kangaskhan and Unown. Kangaskhan is typically region-exclusive to Australia, so this may be the one chance for dedicated European Pokemon GO trainers to catch the otherwise rare Pokemon....
