This time around it’s not a character trailer, but the opening cutscene with the opening song performed by Rui Machida in Japanese and AmaLee in English.

PlayerUnknown Productions revealed a teaser trailer for its new game Prologue at The Game Awards 2019. Prologue is the name of the game, it’s not a prequel to PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. Or is it? There really isn’t much information about the game right now. From the description on the game’s website, we know that it’s an exploration of new technologies and gameplay. It also says that PlayerUnknown Productions is aiming to give players unique and memorable experiences, each and every time they play....

The gym leaders in Pokémon Red, Blue & Yellow are some of the most iconic in the franchise and where most Pokémon fans earned their stripes. Each gym leader emphasizes a particular Pokémon type which can make them easy to beat if you have something to counter or brutal if you don’t. This list will consider some of the gym leaders in Pokémon Yellow, different entities as they have different teams and strategies....

Back before the Nintendo Switch, before Niantic’s massive success with Pokémon Go, there were the GameBoy games — from classic, to color, to advance, and so on. On the GameBoy Advance, Pokémon Gold & Silver were released, the second generation of Pokémon finally introduced to us. These games, despite being among the best Pokémon games, were not without their faults and left some glitches littered around Johto for us to find, meaning many secret locations....

The world of Pokemon is home to hundreds of incredible and mysterious creatures. A neat thing about them is that each one has a special shiny version which happens to be a different colored individual who sparkles a bit every time they are released from their PokeBall. You would assume that each of these special shiny versions are a completely different color or something that leaves a mark, but that’s not the case for every Pokemon....

New hobbies are hard to come by as an adult. That’s why we want to share our newfound passion for the Pokémon Trading Card game, which is commonly referred to as Pokémon TCG. If you haven’t really thought about Pokémon TCG since the cards were banned from your school playground, you could be in for a real treat if you decide to pick them up again. For us, it happened by pure happenstance....

Pokemon GO trainers who love to battle were likely very excited yesterday when Niantic announced the rollout of the updated Battle League features. The new functionality was first available to only the highest level players, but was slowly being released to everyone throughout the day. Unfortunately, things have now been put on pause. Players who gained access to the Battle League yesterday were reporting some issues with the 5km requirement for unlocking sets of Battle League matches, but aside from that things sound like they are working well....

Way back in January, NetherRealm Studios revealed a special skin for Skarlet in Mortal Kombat 11 called the Kold War Skarlet skin. It was a continuation of Cold War-era Russia skins that NetherRealm released for Mortal Kombat X, and its designed has proven to be quite popular with fans. Unfortunately, the Kold War Skarlet skin in Mortal Kombat 11 is very difficult for fans of the game to get their hands on, even months after the fighting game’s release....

Today we’ve had our best look yet at Aperture Camera, a canceled game that Valve was developing at one point to be a prequel to its excellent Portal experiences. Portal and its sequel remain two of the best-loved puzzle games ever produced, of course, and this prequel looks like it could’ve been excellent as well. It’s thanks to an indie developer called LunchHouse Software that footage from Valve’s Aperture Camera is now coming to light....

The iconic battle royale shooter PUBG (PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds) invites everyone to play this weekend via Steam. The free-to-play event is now live and runs through Sunday. There is also a half-price sale on the game, which brings it down to just $14.99. This opportunity comes at a great time because PUBG has received a bunch of new content and game changes recently. The game is currently in Season 7, which added significant new features, the most interesting of which are rideable trains....

The developers of Rage 2 say that loading screens will be a thing of the past in their upcoming sequel. Bethesda surprised literally everyone when they revealed a trailer for a sequel to Rage, the 2011 open-world shooter that never really delivered the whole open-world thing. There were plenty of things wrong with Rage that made it an average game at best (least of all being an ending that did nothing to tie up its flimsy plot), but easily the worst was just how disjointed the whole thing felt....

One of the new features in Pokémon Sword & Shield allows players to cook different types of curry and feed it to their Pokémon, which can increase various stats, heal status conditions, and even make your Pokémon more sociable. Finding inspiration in these dishes, Redditor Calvaroni decided to recreate them, and the end result looks downright delicious. Every two weeks, Calvaroni recreates a curry dish from Pokémon Sword & Shield for his employees to eat during lunch....

Game of the Week goes out to all of our supporters as part of the Eurogamer Essentials newsletter, and from today we’ll start putting it on the site. There’s going to be a slight shake-up of the supporters program in the near future (don’t worry - it’s all good news) so stay tuned for more details, and thanks as ever for your support - it’s much appreciated.

Update: We originally reported that Nemesis could break into safe rooms in Resident Evil 3, but apparently, this bit of news was based on a mistake from the original source. Capcom clarified that safe rooms are completely safe, and Nemesis won’t be disrupting your inventory management sessions anytime soon. There’s nowhere to hide anymore. Resident Evil games traditionally tossed players a bone every now and then, allowing them a rare moment of respite from zombie hordes....

RE Village likes a little tease every now ad then. The players are taunted to complete tasks that seem near impossible in exchange for something precious or to simply test their abilities. The hide and seek master challenge will ask the players to defeat Angie, Donna Beneviento’s puppet in under 1 minute and 40 seconds. That sounds like no time at all for a hide-and-seek game with a deadly puppet that you have to defeat too....

It’s been a very successful few months for Respawn Entertainment, who took a lot of people by surprise with the hit third person action game, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. While the studio has now proven it can successfully branch out of the FPS genre, its other hit title, Apex Legends, continues to build on its successful 2019. Earlier this month, Season 4 arrived and added Revenant to the playable roster....

Prior to the start of the 2019 Overwatch League Grand Finals match, EDM star and Overwatch fan Zedd performed a few of his hit songs for Philadelphia’s Wells Fargo Center audience. Right before Zedd walked on stage, an overhead video screen played a short clip of Widowmaker on Hanamura, decked out in a unique Zedd-themed skin. Blizzard has yet to confirm (or deny) whether or not this Zedd skin will be something available to all Overwatch players, or simply a fun addition to Zedd’s performance....

Patapon is an awesome game, so at last month’s E3 when Sony announced Patapon 3, with a new multiplayer mode, people were pumped to play it on the show floor. Apparently, Sony would like to spread the excitement to those of you who were not able to attend this year’s E3 by releasing a demo of the upcoming title. The demo will feature some of the multiplayer goodness that has garnered the 3rd installment, Patapon 3, so much anticipation… well, by myself anyway....

There have been rumors about backwards compatibility on the PlayStation 3 ever since Sony discontinued their 60 GB model back in 2007. Old-school gamers left in the dust have understandably held to their guns, and now the rumors are back. Sony may indeed be looking into a device to act as a bridge for PlayStation 3 backwards compatibility. There is a rumor on Japanese message boards about a patent filed by Sony Computer Entertainment Japan for a new generation to previous generation console adapter....
