Those who were excitedly waiting for the release of Warcraft 3: Reforged were mostly disappointed when the game barely included a fraction of the features that Blizzard had promised. Despite the awful reception, Blizzard president, J. Allen Brack, promised that the company will “stand behind” the game, and continue to improve it as time goes on. Warcraft 3: Reforged currently sits as the worst user-reviewed game on Metacritic, with an embarrassing score of 0....

The Blizzcon 2019 opening ceremony has concluded and it was filled with announcements for upcoming games and new updates for existing titles. The opening ceremony of Blizzcon 2019 began with an apology for the recent controversy surrounding the banning of a Hearthstone player for making political statements during a livestream. It was notable that the apology didn’t mention the words “China” or “Hong Kong” at any point and it would have been hard to understand for those not familiar with what transpired....

Oh, Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. Switch owners want to love you, they really do. Why do you have to be such a tease? Telling us what you’re going to fix is all well and good, but can’t you get to the fixing already? As you’re no doubt aware, the Switch has been doing super well lately. It’s all but erased those sad, dejected memories of the Wii U. As with most of the best consoles, solid sales can be attributed to two key things: quality first-party titles and robust third-party support....

Ever wanted to play a first-person shooter where you used a boomerang? No? Me either! But Boomerang X is changing that. Set for release later this year, it’s a strange, creative game all about throwing a boomerang at things. It sounds weird until you notice that it’s being published by Devolver Digital, at which point it all makes sense. I got to get an early look at what it offers. Mostly, it’s about boomerang action, yes, but also general strangeness....

Borderlands 3 contains some of the most difficult boss fights that the series has ever seen, and indeed these challenging battles may be leaving a number of players slightly frustrated. While some fans may be stuck trying to figure out how to beat Killavolt in Borderlands 3, others are sure to be having issues with an entirely different boss altogether. Specifically, the Borderlands 3 Katagawa Ball fight, which appears in the Space-Laser Tag mission, can be quite tough to overcome, and this guide looks to offer some assistance....

Borderlands 3 players have discovered a new glitch that makes one of FL4K’s less-popular action skills extremely overpowered. With the glitch, FL4K players can summon an unlimited amount of pets, using them to deal damage to enemies in massive numbers. The Borderlands 3 glitch only requires a few basic steps to setup, but does not work on PC. What players will need to do is equip FL4K with Gamma Burst as their Action Kill....

“The Whale”, the brand new film from celebrated Hollywood filmmaker, Darren Aronofsky (Requiem For A Dream, The Wrestler, Black Swan) that stars Brendan Fraser (Gods and Monsters, The Mummy, The Quiet American) as “A reclusive English teacher living with severe obesity” who “attempts to reconnect with his estranged teenage daughter for one last chance at redemption” had its official debut last night at the prestigious 79th Annual Venice International Film Festival....

Bungie’s next game will be published by Activision, and it’s not another Halo. Beyond that, practically nothing is known about the upcoming project, which has been kept out of sight from anxious on-lookers. Bungie’s new game may still be a months away from even a partial reveal, but that hasn’t stopped them from sending out links to a beta signup survey. Those who were fortunate enough to receive the email were quickly disappointed to learn that the survey it links to is not up-and-running....

Andrew Fleming is a filmmaker who’s been away from the big screen for too long. In the 90s, as writer and director, he brought us films such as Threesome, The Craft and Dick. He also helmed the big screen Nancy Drew movie, amongst his varied ensemble of projects. It feels like it’s been too long since we’ve had a film from you! Given that this film has such a personal edge to it, how does the actual week of release feel this time?...

Anthem developer BioWare has revealed plans to add a test server for the PC version of its troubled loot-shooter. Speaking in a development update on Reddit, the studio said the test server will help the team get a better understanding of what players are enjoying, and the areas that still need a bit of polishing up. While only confirmed for PC at this point, BioWare did reveal that there’s a chance the test server may come to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One....

Apex Legends’ third season is definitely keeping things interesting, and it’s largely assuaging concerns that the relative newcomer to the battle royale scene is facing stagnation less than a year into its life cycle. But while reception of the new season’s entire arsenal of content has been positive for the most part, it’s most certainly not without its gripes among fans. In fact, the community at large seems pretty evenly split concerning whether or not season three is a step forward or a step backwards in terms of the game’s evolution....

The newest battle royale on the block, Apex Legends, has taken the gaming world by storm. Respawn Entertainment really outdid themselves with this one. But, given the way it was released, things could have gone either way. Free-to-play battle royales are becoming increasingly popular and the fear of bombing due to a certain popular game called Fortnite keeping everyone engaged must have weighed heavily on the mind. However, Respawn stuck with their plan to drop Apex Legends as a surprise, sneaking up on nearly everyone with a February 4 launch that saw them garner a million players in under eight hours....

Respawn Entertainment recently wrapped up the Second Anniversary Event for Apex Legends, but don’t stop to take a breather, because the next event is already live in-game. The Chaos Theory Collection Event is centered around Caustic (even more reason not to take a breather) and includes a Town Takeover, an experimental mode, and of course, a bunch of cosmetics to collect. To make sure you don’t miss a single skin, we’ve put together this comprehensive guide for the Apex Legends Chaos Theory Collection Event....

Apex Legends, the widely popular battle royale game, announced a brand new game mode that releases today and will be available only through January 17th. It is part of the Grand Soirée event, which features seven rotating new game modes available for one or two days. The Apex Legends Grand Soirée event started on January 14th and will end on January 28th. The event also features new challenges and rewards earned from playing the limited-time game modes....

Respawn’s Apex Legends, the free-to-play battle royale title set in the Titanfall universe, has hit 25 million players in just one week, the studio has announced. There seems to be no stopping the game at this point, which hit one million players in just 24 hours and topped 10 million in three days. Evidently, people aren’t too bothered about the fact there’s no Titanfall 3, eh? In addition to the player milestone, Respawn confirmed that concurrent users surpassed two million over the weekend....

Developer Nameless XIII has formally announced Ashwalkers: A Survival Journey, previously known as Cendres. Ashwalkers is a survival sim that puts more focus on narrative, which is no surprise given the studio’s pedigree. Nameless XIII is a new studio formed by Dontnod co-founder Hervé Bonin. Dontnod began to diversify its output a few years ago, but is a studio known mostly for its narrative adventure, Life is Strange. Anyway, back to Ashwalkers....

Asmongold has released a detailed breakdown on his feelings about taking a break from streaming and what he plans to do going forward. After experiencing a massive wave of success upon the launch of World of Warcraft Classic this past summer, the Twitch streamer eventually found himself experiencing a desire to distance himself the platform in order to straighten out his thoughts. Asmongold unpacks a lot throughout the video. Firstly, he felt uncomfortable being put in such a “mainstream” position as a result of the exposure he received....

Late last week, we reported on Ubisoft’s bizarre decision to remove achievements from its latest Assassin’s Creed game. At the time, the company stated that the popular system was to be replaced by Ubisoft Connect Challenges. This seemed a weird call, as Watch Dogs Legion had just launched from the same company, complete with achievements and challenges. However, it seems that Ubisoft is looking to add achievements to Assassin’s Creed Valhalla after all....

The Call of the Mountain expansion releases tomorrow and anticipation is at an all-time high. We have had six new champions revealed for the expansion so far, but one rumor kept circulating the fandom. It has been long expected considering this expansion deals with the region of Targon, but yesterday the reveal was finally made. The Legends of Runeterra champion Aurelion Sol will be the final champion for the new expansion....
