Sega announced yesterday that Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis will officially launch in June 2021. The news came during the game’s “Prologue 3” livestream, which provided development updates on the New Genesis expansion’s story, characters, and more. For those who are unfamiliar, New Genesis is basically a complete redesign of Phantasy Star Online 2 with new visuals and gameplay. Players of the original game will be able to transfer characters to the expansion....

Niantic and Nintendo have announced the launch of their brand new phone game Pikmin Bloom, out today on iOS and Android. The app is another collaboration between the two studios similar to Pokémon Go. However, Pikmin Bloom has more of a focus on walking than its older sibling. The vital part is a daily walk in the real world, where you’ll find Pikmin seedlings along your path on the in-game map....

No cause of death has been reported. A true pioneer in the field of occult research, her death shook the world of supernatural investigations. “Rosemary Ellen Guiley was the Executive Editor of FATE magazine,” the publication shared to their Facebook page....

Following its posting of what seemed to be a tease for Bayonetta earlier in the week, Platinum Games is at it again, this time tweeting artwork showing characters from the game playing The Wonderful 101 on what looks like a Nintendo Switch. The TV screen is conveniently blurred out. The Wonderful 101 was a Wii U exclusive on its original release, so a Switch release could be possible. The main concern is that The Wonderful 101 utilised the Wii U’s dual-screen functionality, and quite a few sections of the game relied heavily on this feature....

The patch notes to go along with Pokémon GO’s latest update seem to suggest that the game is about to get a whole new tier of friendship level. Niantic has not been shy about making changes and rolling out updates on Pokémon GO. It’s the main reason why the incredibly popular mobile game saw such a resurgence in 2018. New generations are coming thick and fast, we can now battle and trade Pokémon with friends, and the weather outside dictates the Pokémon we might stumble upon....

Tapu Koko, one of the Legendary Pokémon in Pokémon Go from Gen 7, debuted as part of Season of Alola. Tapu Koko first appeared in five-star raids during this season and the other Alola guardian deities – Tapu Lele, Tapu Bulu and Tapu Fini – were released into Pokémon Go during the following months. Even if you’re an experienced trainer, however, you still need to know Tapu Koko counters and weaknesses to get the edge....

Pokémon Go maker Niantic has warned fans to expect in-game price rises in Ireland and mainland Europe from tomorrow, due to Apple’s previously-announced Eurozone price hike. The pound, mercifully, is not yet affected - but many other countries will be. These include Poland, Sweden, Chile, Egypt, Malaysia, Pakistan, South Korea and Vietnam, plus Pokémon’s homeland of Japan - a core market for Pokémon Go. And while the change is driven by Apple’s action, Niantic has said it will raise its prices in-game whether you use an iPhone or not....

The next season of the Pokemon anime is bringing with it some big changes to the series. It will no longer be confined to a single region, and this time around, Ash will be joined by a new character named Gou. When Ash and Go visit the Kanto region, there’s another change waiting for them - a brand new Kanto region professor to assist them on their journey instead of Professor Oak....

This review contains spoilers. Many’s the time on Poldark that the sight of George Warleggan being dunked into icy water would have sent up the cheeriest of panto cheers. Tee-hee-hoo-hoo, we’d say, the devil had it coming, give him a leech from me! One for every time he hanged a pauper, cut a wage and sold a governess to a well-connected rapist. Jack Farthing being an awkward sort though, he will insist on having such talent that it’s impossible to enjoy his character being mistreated so....

The Power Rangers are being rebooted once more. Completly seperate from the previous 2017 film, this new film will be made by Paramount Pictures who’s tapped The End of the F—ing World creator Jonathan Entwistle to take on the beloved franchise. Entwistle is in early negotiations to direct the film which is, of course, based on the Power Rangers TV series that launched in the 90’s. Source: THR The series has had several films, the first in 1995, but more recently the franchise was rebooted on the big screen in 2017 by Lionsgate and directed by Dean Israelite....

Experimental Wii U game Project Giant Robot has been cancelled and will not be coming to WIi U, Nintendo has confirmed to Polygon.

Asked why development on the game had been ended, Nintendo told Polygon it “made this decision after considering our overall product and development strategy”....

If you’re reading this, you probably like playing video games. But do you like to continuously pay for that privilege? It seems that you will have to, if you’re keen on trying next-gen consoles as soon as you can.

The mobile version of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has received a new update this week, adding a bunch of cool new features including War Mode and additional achievements. War Mode is an interesting addition as it was previously only available in the PC version of the battle royale title.

Puyo Puyo Tetris from SEGA has just been announced for the PC and releases on 27 February. Following its Switch release last year, the game combines the puzzle action of the ever-popular Tetris and SEGA’s Puyo Puyo which is an attractive proposition for puzzle game fans. The bad news for anyone not keen on Denuvo is that the anti-tamper tech will be included in the game. This is not hugely surprising considering SEGA has been utilising Denuvo in recent releases....

From André the Giant in ’80s classic The Princess Bride to Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson’s rebirth as a Hollywood action icon, the road from wrestling to screen stardom is one that’s well-travelled. It’s easy to see why these two art forms so often collide – both rely on physically capable, charismatic and quick-witted heroes triumphing over adversity. The WWE boasts big personalities able to fill the big screen, but how well do you know wrestlers on film?...

Rainbow Six Siege is well-loved as the intense, tactical first-person-shooter that has held its own since 2015 against many heavy-hitting new FPS releases. Part of the secret to Rainbow’s success is its constant updates, changes, and new content that keeps the game fresh for returning players and long-time fans alike. The newest and biggest update to Rainbow Six Siege is the addition of a Battle Pass. A full release is coming in Year 4 Season 4, starting in December of 2019....

In a world shaken by pandemic, with hundreds of thousands of dead from a preventable failure of governments around the globe, much of humankind is searching for glimmers of hope in the United States’ electoral politics.

Putting fun, unique ideas into a game is pretty tough. Redneck Ed, a 2D arena game, definitely has its fair share of these. Unfortunately, it looks like a mid 00s flash game, controls poorly, and is as cheap as it is frustrating. There is enjoyment to be had and there’s some very clear creativity on display, but none of that is enough to make the game one worth playing. Redneck Ed is the story of a redneck named Ed (are you not entertained?...
