As many Twitter users who logged onto the social media site on the day the game released are no doubt aware, WWE 2K20’s release early last week was far from graceful. Riddled with glitches, technical issues, and a whole host of game-breaking bugs, the wrestling title had one of the worst launches in the series’ long and storied history. 2K quickly issued a statement assuring players that major fixes were on the way, and luckily for those disappointed by the game’s issues, the company has released its first patch today....

Xbox boss Phil Spencer has said he is keen to revive Activision franchises the publisher has recently ignored. Spencer also suggested Activision studios such as Crash Bandicoot 4 developer Toys for Bob would also be released from its recent retooling to become cogs in the Call of Duty machine. “I was looking at the IP list, I mean, let’s go!” Spencer told The Washington Post. “‘King’s Quest,’ ‘Guitar Hero,’… I should know this but I think they got ‘HeXen....

Many Xbox users are criticising Microsoft over online outages, which have left many unable to play games, even offline. There were issues with the service throughout the weekend, with some players still unable to play now. The Xbox Support Twitter addressed the issue on Friday, 6th May: “We’re aware that some users may be unable to launch games on Xbox consoles and through Cloud gaming, and our teams are investigating.”...

If you’re reading this, you’re probably wondering why we don’t have a full Yakuza: Like a Dragon review. To this, I can only say “It’s coming, probably.” Without going into the gory details, slightly late code and then a full restart of the game near to launch has delayed things a bit. Prior to (or in place of) a full review, we’ll have some other Yakuza-related content going live: guides, features, the tech review, and hopefully more....

Toshihiro Nagoshi has discussed the new project he’s working on and the reason for his departure from Sega. Nagoshi, known as the father of the Super Monkey Ball and Yakuza series, left Sega in 2021 after 32 years at the company to join Chinese technology company NetEase. He later announced Nagoshi Studio, a subsidiary under NetEase Games, which would allow him to “do something different”. In an interview with German gaming site 4Players, Nagoshi said it had not been creative differences that had led him to leave Sega, but that during his last few years at the company he was promoted to executive and management roles - something he wasn’t interested in....

I am a lonely little probe, sent deep into space, for there’s a menacing anomaly on the space-time horizon and I must investigate it. I have journeyed for hundreds of years. Are my creators still alive, is their civilization still alive? For I exist outside of their cycles of life and their experiences of time. I last. It’s why I was sent here. I drift, listening and scanning planets to hear what they have to say....

Last year’s sci-fi MMO WildStar has now switched to its new free-to-play model, NCSoft and Carbine Studios have announced. “Today is an important milestone in WildStar’s history and the team has been working very hard to make sure the game is better than ever,” said Mike Donatelli, product director, Carbine Studios. “We received a ton of positive feedback from our fan base through our closed beta and have worked to create a game that is fun, accessible, and engaging for all players....

Namor the Sub-Mariner makes his long-overdue debut in the MCU as the primary antagonist of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, but will we see him again? It’s a well-known fact at this point that the majority of MCU antagonists are one and done, but Namor has a long and layered history in Marvel comics dating back to 1939 and is a major player in event storylines. That history and status have led many to believe that the anti-hero could join Thanos and Loki as one of the MCU’s stand-out villains....

It has been nearly thirty years since the release of FIFA International Soccer, the first game produced out of the partnership between FIFA and EA Sports. Since then the FIFA franchise has gone on to regular, annual releases and is one of the most popular games on the planet. We have grown used to the release of a new FIFA game every October, and 2022 was no different with the release of FIFA 23....

Pokémon has reached its ninth generation with Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, representing the series’ first foray into an open world. Results so far have been mixed, with particular focus on the games’ poor technical performance. However, the move to an open world has inspired other problems that, while not alien to the series, are exacerbated by the extra freedom afforded players. With both games’ maps and minimaps obscured with countless icons, a lack of pathfinding, and no meaningful landmarks, navigation in Pokémon’s ninth generation is, thus far, a nightmare....

Tactical RPG Wildermyth uses deep storytelling, graphic novel aspects, and turn-based combat to bring you into its engaging narrative. While the art style is 2D, the heart behind this title is definitely 3D. The combination of engaging storytelling, fulfilling combat mechanics, and choices that feel like they matter, make this tactical RPG one to watch out for. A Solid Start Wildermyth is fairly traditional in its outlook. It features different classes, fighting styles, and skills that wouldn’t feel out of place in a D&D game....

Gamers would be hard pressed to find a game in this modern age of gaming that doesn’t release some form of DLC or additional content at some point within the first year of its run, especially when it comes to AAA titles. Death Stranding, however, is far from an ordinary game for this day and age. Whether players believe that Death Stranding has invented a new genre or not, it still at its core is a game and is thus privy to the expectations of modern gaming....

The reboot of the Wolfenstein series managed to do something for me that games have rarely done before: pair finely-tuned first-person shooting with a story worth getting wrapped up in. The games take place in an alternate time where Axis powers won World War II. You, then, play as a character eager to shoot his way through every Nazi he finds. While we eagerly wait for the next main entry which will bring an end the rebooted saga, Wolfenstein: Youngblood is here to sate our appetite....

The Halloween season may have ended more than a week ago, but that doesn’t mean we can’t still get a bit of spooky news every once in a while. In this case, publisher Ysbryd Games revealed during Nintendo’s recent Indie World Showcase that the positively received 2020 horror RPG World of Horror will finally transition out of Early Access and release sometime next summer. For those who don’t know, World of Horror serves as something of a tribute to the classic 1-bit games that made their home on old DOS and Amiga computers....

The developer of World Of Tanks, Wargaming, has apologized after threatening a Youtuber with a copyright claim over a controversial video. There’s a problem with most free to play games - it can be hard to make money when you’re giving away your game for free. The standard business model for a free to play game is to provide the core of the game at no charge and put a price on the little extras that make the game special, such as unique skins or emblems....

With the arrival of World of Warcraft Classic, longtime players can once again quest through the game’s original versions of Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms. The two continents have been restored to what they looked like before Deathwing reshaped the world with 2010’s Cataclysm expansion. Part of the Classic restoration includes the return of many classic quests that are no longer in the modern version of the game. We thought it would be fun to take a closer look at some of our favorite quests from the original version of the game....
