As a young fan, my dream Pokémon game contained three important features – returning to an old region like in Pokémon Gold, Silver and Crystal, destroying buildings with Mewtwo and escaping the chains of the route system, so I could explore a region to its very core. While I’m begrudgingly coming to terms with the fact that an instalment containing two regions may never occur again (still holding out hope for the Mewtwo dream), an open-world Pokémon game has finally arrived in the form of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. Gone are the days of neatly organised routes funnelling you from…

Where has the time gone? Can you believe that Xbox Live first went, well, live 20 years ago? But, yes, it really has been that long. On 15th November 2002, Xbox Live (now known, at least officially, as the Xbox network) arrived in our lives, adding online capability to the original Xbox. The service’s popularity saw a steady increase after the launch of Halo 2 and, needless to say, Microsoft has not looked back since. By January 2021, Microsoft reported there were more than 100m Xbox network subscribers (with this figure including those signed up through the Xbox Game Pass…

Dead Island 2 has hit another roadblock, albeit a comparatively small one in the grand scheme of things. The game will now release on 28th April, a 12 week delay from what was most recently announced. In a statement, the developer said this shift in release will give the team the extra time needed to provide a game everyone involved is “proud to launch”.

Team Ninja is reportedly rebooting both its Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive franchises. Korean website Ruliweb reports that Fumihiko Yasuda confirmed plans to resurrect the two dormant franchises at a panel at the G-Star Conference earlier this week (thanks, VGC). Whilst Yasuda stopped short of giving any concrete details, he reportedly said that whilst he couldn’t tell us any more right now, he hopes to deliver news we’d like to see “as soon as possible”.

Star Citizen is free to play from now until the end of the month. As part of the in-game annual Intergalactic Aerospace Expo (IAE), players are welcome to “freely test-fly” 120+ ships, including the Drake Corsair which supports a crew of up to four players and boasts living quarters and “strong armaments”. Players will be able to “explore the digital event as they would any convention, from strolling through fully interactive expo halls and seeing the latest ships on display each day in incredible detail, to meeting up with friends to explore and partake in exciting activities, or chance encounters…
A new Warzone 2.0 bug is seemingly making some players invisible. This latest glitch – which some may remember also briefly caused havoc in the original Warzone game – came to light over the weekend after players took to Reddit and social media with clips of them being taken out by players they cannot see. Literally. Whilst its unknown how widespread the issue is, videos posted to social media show plenty have been on the receiving end of the frustrating glitch and it’s currently unclear if it’s just a random occurrence or something sneaky players can turn on and off…
A new Pokémon Scarlet and Violet mod removes all traces of Ed Sheeran from the game. As spotted by GamesRadar+, the newly released mod – simply called “Remove Sheeran” – does exactly what it says on the tin, deleting Sheeran’s tracks from the credits and replacing it with a track from the late notable Japanese singer, Wada Koji. “Removes Ed Sheeran from the game and replaces him with Wada Koji (may he rest in peace),” explains the mod’s creator, before adding that as they only own Violet, the mod has yet to be tested on Scarlet. It should still work,…
Saints Row developer Volition will become part of Borderlands maker Gearbox, Embracer announced today. The announcement by Embracer – the parent company of both studios – comes on the same day Volition finally released the “Bright Future” update for its beleagured Saints Row reboot, which belatedly fixes several hundred bugs present since the game’s launch back in August. For fans who enjoyed Saints Row, Volition’s move places the future of that franchise in doubt. Read more Source – eurogamer.net All content and images belong to their respected owners.
