It took a full month, but Bethesda has finally begun to make things right for Fallout 76 players affected by the inventory hack that swept through the game at the end of 2019. On December 23, 2019, Bethesda informed the Fallout 76 community that it was making the inventory hack its top priority and invited any player affected by the exploit to submit a ticket to the company’s customer support team....
When the video game industry first started to take off in the early 1970s, it was so insanely limited. The massive leap from games then to games now is astronomical in every sense of the word. In those days, two vertically-scrolling lines batting a small white square back and forth was akin to watching Chris Evert and Billie Jean King battle it out on the court. From games that didn’t even exceed the 10-kilobyte mark to titles that nearly take up a fourth of a one terabyte HDD, it’s safe to say that the growth and advancement of this particular industry has been staggering....

Hopefully, the exact Bless Unleashed PC release date will be too....
Today should be a massive day for Overwatch fans as Overwatch 2 has finally released its free-to-play PvP half for everyone. However, no one can currently actually get the game to work. While normally this could be chalked up to servers being overloaded, there is something far more sinister at work that is preventing people from getting to play the game. A tweet from Blizzard Entertainment president Mike Ybarra says that “unfortunately we are experiencing a mass DDoS attack on our servers....
There’s little doubt that Borderlands 3 players are looking forward to the release of its Max Moxxi’s Heist of the Handsome Jackpot DLC, but it stands to reason that most players will be doing a typical run of the expansion, at least at first. Some players prefer a challenge or specific challenge runs, however, with YouTuber Senza recently taking upon an incredibly difficult challenge: beating the looter shooter threequel with a steering wheel controller....
Just six months after its release, Nintendo looks like its putting Mario Strikers: Battle League on the sidelines.

When the notion of a Bumblebee spin-off was first mooted, initial reaction assumed it would just be more of the same and a shrewd way to keep the franchise going. But then the first trailer hit and suddenly expectations changed. The prospect of an ’80s-set Transformers movie, which showed brief glimpses of Generation 1 designs and touching character work, started to build hope that the film could finally be the one that original fans had been waiting for....

This American Dad review contains spoilers. American Dad Season 16 Episode 1 “Now that I’m not trying to make my dad proud anymore, I’m doing baseball the ‘Steve way.’” Well it’s been a long, agonizing wait of seven days since the end of American Dad’s last season and the start of this brand new one, but the series has gloriously decided to barrel on ahead with new episodes since TBS’ commitment to this show isn’t in any danger at the moment....
American Horror Story is about immediate and intense gratification. “True Killers” carries on that tradition, blowing through a lot of twists and turns. This is blood-splattered, burned, stabbed, shot, slashed, and smashed episode that unpacks the secrets of Camp Redwood. After all, it’s a camp with a lot of secrets, most of which the viewing audience of 1984 has been wise to for quite some time. This isn’t a show that leans towards subtlety, and a lot of the twists in this episode are foreshadowed very effectively throughout the run thus far....
The new survival game Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey puts players in the shoes of a baby primate and asks them to navigate a dangerous world. Players must claw their way up the food chain in order to protect and grow their clan. Ancestors comes from the creator of the Assassin’s Creed series, but goes in a totally different direction. Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey doesn’t hold the player’s hand, which can lead to difficulty in learning the game’s systems, like combat....
In just a few more months we’ll finally be granted with a brand new Animal Crossing game for Nintendo Switch after waiting for ages. Fans have been rejoicing for ages now over the arrival of a new game. But in the mean time, we can always go back and play older versions of the game such as for Nintendo 3DS and the Wii. We’re looking at some of the creepier moments from the series....
An unnamed person is attempting to set up a real-life battle royale session on a private island with cash prizes. No, you read that sentence correctly. Apparently, it will be a 100-person event, where the last person standing will receive a £100,000 jackpot. The news came out of the website Hush Hush, a supposed “shopping marketplace” for people with a lot of cash. And, perhaps, not a lot of sense. According to the request, someone with wealth is looking to hire a “talented gamemaker” to design a battle royale arena on a private island....
Apex Legends Season 4 is on the way, and it’s bringing at least one new playable Legend with it as well as a host of alterations and additions. Notably, this season will change Apex Legends‘ ranked mode quite a bit. Basically, the upcoming season of ranked play will be divided into two “splits.” The first split will take place on the World’s Edge map while the second will be located in Kings Canyon....
Apple announces its AirPods Pro headphones and gamers online are all making the same joke. Apple products often get mocked by gamers, and in September the official Cyberpunk 2077 Twitter mocked the iPhone 11 camera design for looking like one of its characters. Professional Super Smash Bros. player and member of Team Liquid, HBox, was one of the first to make the comparison between Apple AirPods Pro and Pokemon. On Twitter, HBox said that “I’m sure at least one other person has noticed by now but in case they haven’t,” before posting side by side images of the newly announced headphones and Bellsprout, the Grass and Poison type Pokemon that looks like a garden weed....
The anime adaptation of the Arknights mobile RPG has gotten a new trailer today that shows off the colorful characters that inhabit the world.

The full title of the anime is Arknights [PRELUDE TO DAWN], which should give you some idea of what you are getting into, even if you have never played or heard of the mobile game....
Sometimes gaming needs to go beyond the realms of entertainment and competition as well as the pursuit of profit. The popularity of the shooter genre draws a lot of criticism for its alleged glorification of violence. In reality, we know there’s a lot of positivity that revolves around gaming, and developer Bohemia Interactive offers one such example. The company has a new charity DLC pack for Arma 3 called Art of War....
Long-running video game franchises have had their fair share of detractors. Ever so often, there’d be a particular game in the series that sours the opinions of many fans. Then again, there comes a time when one title ends up redeeming the entire thing altogether. For Ubisoft’s flagship action-adventure franchise, that’s Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. The company embraced the action-RPG dynamics for Odyssey, even more so than Origins, breathing new life into the series....
