A Watcher of the vast and beautiful Avidya Forest in the gorgeous, brand-new area of Sumeru, Tighnari is a fox-eared master of ranged combat, wielding a powerful bow as well as the Dendro element. As you’d expect given his 5-star rarity, he’s currently the strongest Dendro character - other than the Dendro Traveller of course - but you will still need to carefully equip him with the right tools to make the most of his abilities....

According to a new report from Bloomberg, a number of “high-level employees” at Activision are considering altering the release cadence of the Call of Duty series, and are considering moving away from the game’s current setup as an annual franchise. Given that the Call of Duty Vanguard sales were the worst the game has seen in a decade – and with the on-going issues with Warzone continually making headlines – it seems the series’ developers want some time to step back and address some fundamental problems....

If you’re unfamiliar, here’s how it works: every EGS user gets a $10 coupon that can be applied to any game in the store priced $14.99 or more. With the recent arrival of the shopping cart, a single coupon will apply to every individual game. Anytime you make a purchase, you get another $10 coupon for an unlimited number of times. This will all be available until Thursday, January 6....

“I’m interested in sharing my passion for gaming,” McLemore said in an interview with Forbes today. “One of my areas of focus is the evolution of gaming, including how earlier arcade games inspired video games and how early video games influenced later innovation. I believe the Nintendo PlayStation fits in well with this focus.” “I’m looking to not have this machine just buried in a closet somewhere,” he says of his prchase....

The Last of Us: Part 2 has been delayed and a new release date has not been set. According to the official statement from Naughty Dog, development is “nearly done” as the team is in the process of fixing final bugs. “However, even with us finishing the game, we were faced with the reality that due to logistics beyond our control, we couldn’t launch The Last of Us Part 2 to our satisfaction,” reads the statement....

It’s lucky for you that there aren’t 50 to track down - but Seattle is dense with them all the same, and they’re very easy to miss. First we’ll drop a checklist of all of the coins and where they’re found, before going into the detailed instructions of where to pick up each one below. We have a complete list of every superhero trading card in The Last of Us 2, here....

This means that new skills and buffs don’t just magically appear, they need to be learned. To aid in your struggle for survival, you can find training manuals around the environment. Each one upgrades your character’s skill tree, which you enhance with supplements. There are five trees in total - so four training manuals to find - and supplements are littered around just about every area in the game....

The adaptation, which follows Joel and Ellie as they travel across America, raked in an impressive 4.7 million viewers with its first episode. It beats out Boardwalk Empire, which previously took the 2nd place position back in 2010. This figure, while impressive, apparently only meets 20%-40% of its total gross audience per episode, meaning that figure is sure to climb even higher as more and more people jump on the hype train and give the show a watch....

The idea for this came from finishing the game, and wondering how long it would be between now and a potential third installment being released. We know that game director Niel Druckmann is a huge fan of The Godfather Part 2, and if the same sort of development cycle is applied between Part 2 and Part 3, it will be roughly 14 years between the release of the first and last games....

It’s no surprise, then, to see a reference to the Jurassic-era gaming meme referenced in Player First Games and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment’s take on the crossover fighting game genre, MultiVersus. Mortal Kombat developer NetherRealm publishes its games via Warner Bros, and a couple of datamines and leaks point towards Scorpion and Sub-Zero coming to the game in the future, too. The announcer even says ‘TOASTY’ in a booming voice when you get toasted, sometimes....

Today the official Twitter account for Crysis woken up after nearly four years of inactivity, offering a single mysterious tweet: “RECEIVING DATA”. So, er. What does it mean? Is a new Crysis underway, or - perhaps more likely - a remaster? Did Crytek staff sit on their keyboard? It is worth noting, there have been other recent teases hinting at some resurgence of the Crysis franchise. Just a few weeks ago, the official Crysis website received an update which shows Nomad, the original Crysis protagonist, on board what appears to be the same plane which starts off Crysis 1....

Just days after it was reported that Sony is getting ready to close digital stores for PS3, Vita and PSP, it appears the platform holder has already taken the first steps. The old PlayStation Store, which sells games for PS3, PS Vita and PSP is no longer accessible on the web. All three stores can be browsed through the consoles themselves, but that experience is clunky and prone to crashing there....

The Steam Winter Sale has finally gone live. Though you’ll probably struggle to get on Valve’s storefront right now, users can expect huge savings on a variety of games from across the platform’s library. It’s normally the case that Steam’s servers are absolutely annihilated for the first few hours of any sale it runs, especially the biggest promotional event of the year. This time around users can receive free festive bird stickers which will apparently help them celebrate their “favourite games throughout the holidays....

In this guide to the best weapons and armor in The Witcher 3, we’ll be guiding you through how to acquire elite weapons like the Griffin School Gear, the Ursine School Gear, and other items like the Aerondight sword. If you need some advice for how to make the most of your new gear, check out our guide on The Witcher 3’s Adrenaline Points system and how to level up fast so you aren’t caught short....

These new models are being called into question for their level of detail. Some players may question why such intimate details were included in the update, while others may simply enjoy the eye candy. Either way, the inclusion wasn’t intentional on CDPR’s part. Per some rather graphic screenshots posted to reddit (view at your own risk), Crones, in particular, have been given a bit of a makeover. This renovation includes not only detailed mons pubis and labia but landing strips as well, with not a bear trapper’s hat in sight....

Going live on January 18, players will be able to travel to the White Wolf Haven Island to meet up with the main cast of The Witcher Games. Once introduced, you’ll be able to complete a quest focused on dealing with interdimensional vortexes plaguing the island. Fans of the RPG will be able to take hom a selection of Witcher-themed items and cosmetics for their hard work. This includes a wallpaper skin, weapon skins, and full character skins that give your character Witcher hairstyles to keep things stylish....

The four games on sale are Super Mario Maker 2, Super Mario Party, Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 and Yoshi’s Crafted World. Super Mario Odyssey is mysteriously absent! Still, these offers are available at all the major retailers, so it’s up to you where to shop....

Despite Souls games often having strong themes of a solitary struggle, they do frequently let you summon other players and certain NPCs to help out every now and then. Of course, when it comes to in-game NPCs, this is generally limited to very specific characters, so unfortunately for you, if you want to hang out with Ranni, you’re fresh out of luck. Unless of course you download this very cool sounding mod that lets you summon a few fan favourite NPCs à la Skyrim (thanks, PC Gamer)....

There are casinos to be robbed, you can become a businessman, own your own arcade, be the leader of a motorcycle gang, fly around on a sci-fi motorbike, and loads, loads more. It’s a little overwhelming when you jump in now, there’s just that much stuff to do. Rockstar occasionally puts out promo videos for upcoming content - slick little car adverts and the like - but it hasn’t put out a video that encapsulates the GTA Online experience holistically for a while....

Speaking during the Xbox Podcast today, Double Fine’s Tim Schafer announced Grim Fandango Remastered, Day of the Tentacle Remastered, and Full Throttle Remastered will come to Xbox Game Pass. Day of the Tentacle Remastered is a cartoon puzzle adventure.
