Recently Princess Connect! Re:Dive dropped one of its most fun features, Clan Battles or Guild Battles. These are raid-style fights where each member of your Clan does their part in applying damage to a monster with high HP. These battles drop high rewards and are the perfect way to be active with your clan. Each raid period puts out a set of monsters that the team fights in serial order, all of them harder than the next....

Epic Games confirms that its new Unreal Engine 5 demo is playable. Earlier today, Epic revealed the first Unreal Engine 5 demo of PS5 gameplay, showing fans and developers what could be possible with its new game development technology. Speaking to Summer Game Fest creator Geoff Keighley after the Unreal Engine 5 reveal, Epic Games chief technology officer Kim Libreri said that it is a “fully playable demo.” The team recorded it by putting it on a PS5 devkit and exporting it using a HDMI cable....

The rumors of extensive backward compatibility for the PS5 can finally be put to rest, as it has officially been confirmed that the system will not support games from PS1, PS2, or PS3 consoles. There have been rumors circulating about the PS5 being backward compatible with all older PlayStation systems since the console was first announced. This has been spurred on by leaked patents, which suggested that the PS5 had hardware dedicated to perfectly emulating those older systems....

A big update is out this week for PUBG Mobile and brings a few gameplay adjustments and new modes to the game. Update 0.4.0 is available now to download for both iOS and Android. One of the new features hitting the mobile version of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is Arcade, which is a 28-player mode that can be played solo or with friends. Each match randomly selects one of six possible variations, adding a bit of a twist on the gameplay....

Shooting games are a dime a dozen nowadays, but they’re the byproduct of an industry that features a consumer base that continuously and passionately supports these blockbuster properties. Whether jumping into the latest installment of Call of Duty or anticipating the forthcoming Halo 5: Guardians, there are several well-known flavors of first-person shooters to choose from. As a result, it’s very challenging to innovate in the genre while still maintaining mass appeal, but Ubisoft’s Rainbow Six Siege seems to have done just that....

While the remake of the original Ratchet and Clank sticks fairly closely to the original title, with some upgrades in the story and gameplay where it is needed, one aspect of the original game that didn’t survive the transition to the PS4 was the acquisition of the RYNO. In the original game, this weapon cost a staggering amount of Bolts, but in the remake, it is a little easier to get on the first playthrough....

Red Dead Online may have been designed with a posse in mind, but in Rockstar’s Wild West open-world, sometimes you want to venture out on their own, admire the sunset, catch fish, and find your own enjoyment. Don’t worry, there are plenty of solo activities to be found in Red Dead Online. Steer clear of the chaos or dive right into it as a solo gunslinger, complete solo missions, or set your sights on a prize bounty animal....

With any popular and populated online game, players are always prepared to make their own fun in various ways and Red Dead Online is no exception. While players are always willing to show off tricks in Red Dead games, another pastime of any system with a character creator is to recreate famous individuals. In the most recent demonstration for a player’s dedication to making in-game copies, Redditor HonorHHawk opted to bring the “King of Pop” to the untamed lands of Red Dead Online....

While players have plenty to sink their teeth into with Red Dead Redemption 2, such as hunting down the legendary animals, one of the more perplexing, but intriguing, side quests involves the pursuit of a serial killer. It is called Killer Clue and requires players to visit three different locations to assemble the Pieced Together Map. This map will then lead the players to the serial killer. It’s worth mentioning this article contains what some would consider minor SPOILERS....

Sony’s upcoming PS3 exclusive The Last of Us has caught the attention of gamers and press everywhere - since the first teaser trailer was released - but it seems the game may have just shown up in the most unlikely of places: Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception. It appears that in the opening level for Uncharted 3 gamers will be able to see a newspaper lying around with the headline “Scientists Are Still Struggling To Understand Deadly Fungus....

Those that pickup annual sports video games every year aren’t use to getting major change ups. The campaign usually stays true to last year’s offering, with some improvements throughout, but wrestling fans never know what to expect from the single-player aspect of their beloved WWE titles. Fans already got an idea of what awaited them in the upcoming gaming slam-fest, WWE 2K15, in the form of 2K Showcase, and now more details have dropped on the new mode....

Blizzard’s Overwatch is the developer’s fastest growing franchise ever, which is an impressive feat given the caliber of games that Overwatch needed to compete with to win that accolade - StarCraft, World of Warcraft, and Diablo just to name a few. That kind of financial and social success draws the right kind of attention from investors, and it appears that Blizzard’s upcoming Overwatch League (the OWL) has already secured the involvement of two massive US sports brands....

Persona 5 fans know that when it comes to the real world vs. the shadow world, there’s some serious housekeeping that both require. While it might seem like fun and games once a player has high-tailed it out of a palace or Mementos, the work is only just beginning… because in order to level up in the Metaverse, one must first ’level up’ in real life. The trick to doing this is exactly how it would be done in the real world....

“It all began that day… when the game was started half a year ago… For the sake of your world’s future… as well as your own… you must remember…" Lavenza, Persona 5 Royal I’m sitting in my boxer shorts with a cold can of beer. I’ve just booted up Persona 5 Royal for what feels like the first time in years, although it’s only been a few months. Six, to be precise, so about half a year — it’s almost as if Lavenza remembers....

Ever wonder what a hybrid between such games as Escape From Tarkov, Metro Exodus, and Stalker 2 would look like? You are not alone. Russian developers from GFA Games Studio have an answer, as the team announced their debut project called Pioner, and it looks just like you imagined. Pioner is a new post-apocalyptic game, blending together MMORPG, survival, and first-person shooter. The events will unfold on a Soviet island isolated from the mainland by a large-scale technogenic anomaly....

When we were putting together our list of comic book characters that need video games the steampunk, turn-of-the-century DC Comics one-shot Gotham By Gaslight wasn’t among them. That doesn’t mean that Batman’s quest to find and capture Jack the Ripper on the streets of 19th Century Gotham doesn’t deserve a bit more attention. As it turns out, recently discovered artwork shows that at one point developer Day 1 Studios was considering a video game adaptation of the story that never came to fruition....

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is one of the most popular games in the world right now, smashing Steam concurrent user records and selling millions of units in its early access period alone. Unfortunately for PlayStation gamers, though, the game is only available on PC and Xbox One. However, if PUBG Corp CEO Chang Han Kim has his way, the hit shooter will make its way to PlayStation 4 at some point in the future....

There’s nothing like a good round of sales numbers to show which of the two leading consoles - the PS4 and Xbox One - came out on top last month. Both systems have continued to sell well, and in recent months, there’s been a bit of a back and forth between the two. This should be viewed as a good thing: healthy competition compels Sony and Microsoft to improve their respective performances....

With next-generation consoles releasing right around the corner, the PlayStation 5 is set to launch on November 12th, 2020, and replace the PlayStation 4. It will have a fair number of great launch titles and the benefits gamers will see to both the games and their quality of life experiences with the hardware are rather evident. The world is currently dealing with a global pandemic though and a $500 purchase can be tough to justify....

Most consoles eventually come to be associated with a genre or style. Whether by luck or design, Microsoft’s Xbox has practically cornered the shooter market with franchises such as Halo, Gears of War, and now, thanks to the Activision Blizzard deal, Call of Duty. That isn’t to say the PlayStation library is utterly devoid of first and third-person shooters, but thanks to recent developments, the platform’s already slim pickings are looking even thinner....
