Bangalore is arguably the most dangerous entrant and knows her way around a Peacekeeper, among other weaponry. Let’s now look at 10 facts about the respected soldier in Apex Legends, Bangalore....

The Apex Legends Mirage’s Holo-Day Bash event introduces a new mode, a new Town Takeover, new Heirloom Set, and over 20 winter-themed cosmetics. This is Apex Legends’ first winter event! The fact that Apex Legends is a totally new IP that came from nowhere part way through this year still stuns me. Anyway, happy holidays! Firstly, there are 24 Event Limited premium cosmetics to be won during Mirage’s Holo-Day Bash. Each character has gotten a themed skin, like Caustic as Father Christmas, Pathfinder as a candy cane, Mirage as a nutcracker, and Octane as a deeply haunted Rudolph the Reindeer....

The Nintendo Switch has an incredibly impressive game library compared to its predecessor, the Wii U. After the announcement of The Witcher 3 coming to Switch, pretty much anything seems possible. After a very eventful Nintendo Direct earlier today, that certainly seems to be the case, as two more Assassin’s Creed games are officially headed to the hybrid console in the all-new Assassin’s Creed: The Rebel Collection.

Russian studio Mundfish has released a new trailer for its upcoming FPS Atomic Heart, giving us a brief glimpse at some of the powers you’ll be using in tandem with your weaponary to deal with the mutant foes you’ll be facing in the mysterious game. Keeping in track with the other reveals on the game so far, not too much has been given away, but we certainly spy a power that allows you to shoot what looks to be a jet of ice to freeze enemies, as well as some kind of levitation power which we no doubt will be handy against the plant/zombie hybrid… things that we also get a glimpse of—something of a departure from the robotic-based enemies we’ve seen from the game so far ....

The summer video game drought is over. June and July saw a few big releases in Splatoon 2, Tekken 7, and Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, but the summer months always feel a bit empty compared to the large amount of games that release in the spring and fall. August is the beginning of a stream of video game releases that doesn’t stop until December. With so many games to look forward to, here are the biggest ones to keep in mind....

Battlefield 2042‘s next update has been delayed from late February to early March. Update 3.3 includes the long-awaited re-designed scoreboard that players have been eagerly anticipating.

There’s no word on why DICE delayed Update 3.3 to March, but it’s fairly easy to guess. It’s safe to say that development for the game has been rough for the last couple of months....

Intrepid Battlefield 1 players appear to have discovered the reveal date for Battlefield 5 via a new Easter egg in buried in the depths of 2016’s acclaimed World War I shooter. The Room, as it’s called, is a pretty complicated affair though rewards gamers with a special dogtag featuring morse code that spells ‘Secrets Revealed.’ However, it goes just beyond that. Once the tag is unlocked, it’ll cue a special music track, as well as a barely-discernible sound of dripping water coming from the hidden room....

Last year, fans were disappointed to learn that Modern Warfare 2019 would not have a ranked playlist. Instead, the title had a playlist with the competitive rule set, but it had no ranked system. In the past, this playlist has proved popular with players who enjoy the competitive side of Call of Duty. Now, a new leak suggests that ranked play will return in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War....

It’s easy to forget that Blizzard was cranking out 16-bit games before becoming a household name with the Diablo series.

We’re going to label this one a strong “probably.” This news happens to fall on April 1, after all, and we’re already having to wade through a sea of funny nonsense. No, I’m not a fan of April Fool’s Day, but here we are. Anyway, there have been two possible leaks regarding Borderlands 3 today.
