It feels like it’s been a while since we talked about Fallout 76. This should be a nice departure from usual controversies that plagued the ailing multiplayer survival game. A new location is opening up for you dutiful Fallout 76 players. The Project Paradise event takes you underground, below Arktos Pharma, where winding caverns and a dilapidated lab wait to be explored. Project Paradise contains three varying labs. Each lab contains its own unique biome, full of animal- and plant-life that’s just ripe for the harvest....

Combat flight Sim fans are probably keeping an eye on Project Wingman from developer RB-D2 who has been working on the game for a while now. What’s great about the current alpha versions is that RB-D2 lets you download it to try now. A Kickstarter will eventually launch but it’s definitely worth checking out in advance and then chip in if you like what you see when the Kickstarter goes live....

The fans who had eagerly been awaiting the release of Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night will have to wait a little longer, as a post on the game’s official Kickstarter page has confirmed that the release date for the game has been pushed back to 2019. The reason for the delay is due to quality issues, as the developers received a lot of feedback from the beta demo of the game that had been sent out to backers and wanted to take more time to ensure that the product is as good as it can be....

Sony has confirmed the PSVR 2 will be launching 22nd February 2023. PSVR2 marks the second iteration of Sony’s VR offering – and looks to build on the formidable success of the original PSVR unit. According to latest sales figures, the PSVR has shipped more than 5 million units worldwide since it launched in 2016./ You can read more about the PSVR 2 release date here, which launches alongside a Horizon Call of the Mountain bundle....

Getting to voice an animated character in a major motion picture is a milestone for any actor, and should be worthy of any bucket list. So when Taraji P. Henson was offered the opportunity, her answer was a no-brainer. The Oscar nominated actress has made her mark on the small screen playing brassy matriarch “Cookie Lyon” on the hugely popular series Empire, and on the silver screen by portraying real-life heroine Katherine G....

The Castlevania series has a long, storied legacy. Starting as some of the most successful sidescrolling platformers ever made, turning into some of the worst third person action games ever made, and then ending up as some pretty okay third person action games, the franchise has definitely seen its share of ups and downs. With such a varied catalogue that covers both polarities and everything in between, it’s difficult to pinpoint just how all the Castlevania games rank against each other over the years....

Relayer on PS4 Kadokawa Games is finally about to release what is easily the most ambitious game in its history, a strategy JRPG called Relayer. While the developer may not be very well known among the mainstream audience in the west, it certainly isn’t new to the genre, and you could actually say that the team has been experimenting and refining their take on the formula. This began first with Natural Doctrine in 2014, and then with the much, much more enjoyable God Wars: Future Past in 2017 and its expanded version God Wars: The Complete Legend....

Developer Render Cube and publisher Toplitz Production have come together to announce what the future holds for Medieval Dynasty. A detailed roadmap for Medieval Dynasty was revealed in a development blog on the publisher’s official website. It details features that are planned for the near future as well as content that is expected to arrive in early 2022. Given its roots as a community-driven early access title, it’s important that the developer maintains both transparency and communication with its fans....

Capcom has announced that Re:Verse, the extensive multiplayer mode bundled with Resident Evil Village, will no longer launch this year. The mode, which is almost its own game, was set to launch in July, two months after Resident Evil Village. Players who picked up Village will have to wait a good while longer to get their hands on Re:Verse. Capcom says the delay is to ensure that the development team can further work to “deliver a smooth gameplay experience....

The Switch is getting a slew of horror games, including Resident Evil 5, Resident Evil 6, and Alien Isolation. The two Resident Evil games are on their way this Autumn, adding to the Resident Evil remake, Resident Evil 4, and Resident Evil 0, which recently made their way to the Switch. Alien: Isolation was only given a vague ‘2019’ release for the Switch, so expect to hear more on that in the near future....

After 10 long years of League of Legends, Riot has finally started branching out, albeit with spin-offs from its core franchise. At the company’s 10 year anniversary celebration for its figurehead game, Riot unveiled a number of new games including a card game, fighting game, and plenty of teases. One such tease may have been a future MMO staring characters and delving into the lore from League of Legends in a much more interactive way than previously available....

Rising Thunder, a new free-to-play robot fighting game coming to PC, promises to eliminate special move input fluffing. The online-focussed brawler is the brainchild of former Capcom community manager – and a major name in the world of fighting games – Seth Killian and Radiant Entertainment. Killian says the game is built around three key principles: You won’t mess up your special move inputs, great online, and play as much as you want for free....

If it wasn’t for Park Beyond’s “impossification” gimmick - with its ludicrous, physics-defying rides - you’d probably be hard pushed to tell it apart from any number of other theme park management games based on its trailers so far. As a die-hard management sim fan, though, I couldn’t resist the recent opportunity to take Tropico developer Limbic Entertainment’s latest project for a spin to see what, if anything, it might be able to bring to the familiar theme park genre....

PlatinumGames boss Atsushi Inaba isn’t excited about the next generation of consoles from Xbox or PlayStation. Speaking with VideoGamesChronicle at E3, Inaba explained that the consumer will see the benefits, with better visuals and faster loading times, but that doesn’t mean it gets him giddy as a creator: ‘it’s more of the same, quite frankly, compared to previous generations. It’s nothing that’s disruptive or super innovative, if you ask me.’...

The official PlayStation account has tweeted out an apology for how the company has handled pre-orders for the upcoming PlayStation 5 as many people were struggling to secure their console in time for November’s launch over the weekend. In the tweet, posted on Saturday evening, PlayStation said “Let’s be honest: PS5 preorders could have been a lot smoother. We truly apologize for that.” However, there is a silver lining as the company also revealed “Over the next few days, we will release more PS5 consoles for preorder – retailers will share more details....

PlayStation has this week announced a pro-environment initiative called the ‘Play and Plant Program’ that will see three trees planted for every time the ‘Reached the Daunt’ trophy is unlocked before March 25. A dedicated website provides further detail: Reforestation projects partnered with the project include Douglas County Forest, Sheep Fire Private Lands, and Torreya State Park. The program will end either on March 25 or when approximately 288,000 trees per project have been accounted for....

Raid achievements are the headline addition to the new Together We Raid update in Pokémon Go. These new achievements give trainers feats based on their performance in the raid - from the most damage dealt to the largest Pokémon who joined the fight. As well as this, the Together We Raid update gives Raids and Gyms a visual refresh, with bolder transitions and a new stadium to fight in. Ultimately, though, Raids work the exact same - come in with your best counters then attempt to catch the Pokémon when the Raid is over....

So you picked up Pokémon Sword and/or Shield and have been enjoying your time seeing Pokémon in their new Galarian forms, and you’re wondering why Galarian Darumaka and Galarian Yamask don’t evolve like they used to in their previous games. Well, you’re in luck, because by the end of this article, you’ll know how to evolve these two Pokémon- the Galarian way! First up is Galarian Darumaka. Fair warning, you can only catch Galarian Darumaka in Pokémon Sword on Route 8 and 10....

The release of Pokémon Sword & Shield is imminent and information about the game is leaking everywhere. The opponents and their teams have been laid bare thanks to dataminers and modders who have scoured through the game’s files. A Twitter user named Kaphotics has uploaded information about every trainer and their team in Pokémon Sword & Shield to Pastebin. The list contains the teams for the Gym Leaders, rivals, the Champion, and every random trainer battled in the Galar region....

Pokemon GO has been throwing tons of updates and events at trainers this month and it’s understandable if players feel a little overwhelmed by all the changes. Somewhere between the improved Buddy System update and this week’s Regice Raid Day, Niantic also updated the Team GO Rocket Leader lineups. That means there are some new Shadow Pokemon to take down. Players have likely already faced off against Arlo, Cliff, and Sierra; but now is a perfect time for a rematch since all three bosses have new rosters of Pokemon....
