Sega has released the official launch trailer for Yakuza Kiwami 2, celebrating the release of the gangster-stomping remake the only way it knows how: by having real people sing a song about Goro Majima. To be fair, it’s entirely in line with what Yakuza has now become; a marriage of expertly-crafted storytelling and characters mixed with barmy, irreverent distractions that has you hopping between duffing up baddies on street corners to punching an actual tiger in the face....
It’s hard to deny just how much The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess references Ocarina of Time. At its core, it’s the closest a 3D Zelda has ever come to just straight-up serving as a direct mechanical sequel. Twilight Princess has Wolf Link, but at its core, it really is just The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 2. Which isn’t a bad thing, but it is very much a thing....
The Nintendo Switch is starting to feel more and more real. Not only is the system’s launch now less than four weeks away, but the primary launch game – The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild – is complete. To celebrate the game’s development coming to an end, Nintendo hosted a wrap party at a hotel. Whilst it seems like quite a relaxed event, with many dressed quite casually, only one person appears to have got the memo about Zelda-themed fancy dress....
The joint efforts of Obsidian Entertainment and Larian Studios have ushered in the golden age of modern-day CRPGs. Series like Pillars of Eternity and Divinity: Original Sin stand atop a mountain of modern interpretations of the storied genre. Exploring their rich fantasy worlds is undeniably addicting. Wigmund: The Return of the Hidden Knights looks to capture that same magic, while introducing a few new features of its own. These features, namely its gesture-based combat, fail to leave a lasting impression....
Warcraft itself is a huge media franchise, which has tackled everything from novels to a movie. There was also, as fans know, a little spin-off experiment Blizzard called Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft. This online free-to-play card game expanded on the lore of the series and was so popular that it became a big name eSport title in its own right. Hearthstone is here to stay. As of this time last year, Blizzard reported over 70 million players of the hit card game....
It looks like we now know when the Witcher Netflix series will air, thanks to someone who is probably now fired. The Netherlands branch of the streaming service put out a tweet yesterday that has since been deleted, but was naturally saved by observant fans. It lists the wait time for several upcoming Netflix shows, one of which is The Witcher. The post in question seemed like one of those social media things where someone in an office was trying to be cute....
Update: Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem‘s latest hotfix (1.07), which comes as a surprise since the studio previously announced that they can only do one patch or hotfix each week, has also nerfed another broken skill: Winter’s Grasp. Now, it can no longer have its cooldown reduced by leveling it up. Original: You could say that Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem‘s latest patch (1.05) just offered a one-two punch, the likes of which may frustrate a few players....
There are plenty of racing games around but games that encourage you to smash the crap out of your opponents are few and far between and as luck would have it that’s exactly what Bugbear want you to do in their latest offering.

WWE 2K20 has finally arrived, giving wrestling gamers around the world the chance to finally find out whether all the bad press the game has received during the build to its release is warranted. WWE 2K’s titles are often criticized for feeling like the same game every year with a different cover star. However, 2K20 has looked as if the game has become even worse. If 2K was trying to build on WWE 2K19 and create a wrestling game 12 months better than its last - which should be the bare minimum when it comes to fan expectations - then it has failed....
Xbox One is getting a completely redesigned dashboard this autumn, Microsoft has announced. The new user interface will feature a vertical design separated into four different tabs, including a new Quick Menu, Home, Community and Store. The first tab, Quick Menu, offers players instant access their Friends list, Messages, Settings and Notifications, and can be accessed mid-game up by double-tapping the Xbox button, similar to the current Snap functionality. Unlike Snap, however, the Quick Menu doesn’t scale down the game screen, instead simply overlaying the gameplay....
Yakuza series producer Toshihiro Nagoshi revealed during a recent livestream that his team will unveil a brand new title in September, possibly at the Tokyo Game Show. The creator behind Sega’s popular gangster-smashing franchise said that the new game has been through various stages of development over the past three years, and will be something totally different to the Yakuza series or Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise. Nagoshi-san’s team hasn’t produced an original IP since 2012’s Binary Domain, which sadly flopped pretty badly at retail and didn’t really impress critics all that much either....

Much of the game has been praised, especially the combat system. However, one important aspect has been met with much less praise, and currently very controversial with players: the online system.

However, in the sequel, his location is in a strange and different realm. Here’s why Jörmungandr is in Helheim in God of War Ragnarok. Why Did Jörmungandr Move to Helheim in God of War Ragnarok?

The Yooka-Laylee embargo has dropped and it’s running the gamut. This spiritual successor to Banjo-Kazooie is getting scores ranging up and down the whole scale, and we’ve got a round up of some of the key reviews for you.
