Tiny Roar and Assemble Entertainment have dropped a new gameplay trailer for upcoming time-travelling Zelda-like adventure XEL. In case you missed the original announcement back in August of last year, you play as Reid. She finds herself marooned on a mysterious planet with no memory of who she is or where she’s from. Naturally, this means the correct course of action is to embark upon a quest as you explore your strange new surroundings and find out XEL’s secrets, linked to space and time itself....

The Savage Lands season has just kicked off in Marvel Snap, and like every season before it, there’s a brand new card you can get by purchasing the season pass. This month, we get Zabu, a 3-cost card that reduces the cost of your 4-cost cards by 2. If you’re at all familiar with card games, this should immediately strike you as a pretty damn powerful card due to its cost reduction ability....

It’s a new day, and you know what that means - time to work out the Wordle answer for today, 4th January. For the uninitiated, the aim of Wordle is to work out a daily five-letter word within six guesses. The fewer the guesses, the better - and if you fail to guess it at all, you’ll break your streak. The latter is why working out today’s Wordle answer is such a priority, as players pride themselves on keeping their streak going....

If you’re one of the many people that once called World of Warcraft home and have since moved on to other games or adventures in life, there’s no denying that World of Warcraft holds a special place in the hearts of many. The game has provided its players with not just memorable moments in-game, but has at times also transcended the games industry and spilled out into our popular culture....

While an unencrypted version of the Shadowlands alpha is still nowhere to be seen, a different World of Warcraft expansion could be on its way. Blizzard has sent many Classic players a survey about Classic Burning Crusade character creation preferences. The last time we saw a survey like this, it was about a potential level squish, which we now know is coming in Shadowlands. For anyone who still had doubts that Classic Burning Crusade is in the cards, this is a pretty strong indication that it’s coming....

They say two thousand zero zero party over, oops, out of time. So, starting next week, we’re going to watch wrestling like it’s 1999. Maybe Prince was onto something … WWE announced on Thursday that it had hired Paul Heyman and Eric Bischoff in executive roles, tabbing Heyman as the executive director of RAW and Bischoff as the executive director of SmackDown.

In the last announcement, Microsoft confirmed eight games to start out the month, including Visage and Swery’s The Good Life. Finishing things off, we’ll get Outriders, Alan Wake’s American Nightmare, Everspace 2, Age of Empires IV, and more. Two of the confirmed games are already out today. Both Outriders and Into the Pit are now playable on the service....

The sub-genre of futuristic arcade racers has seen a bit of a resurgence in recent years, which is why Xenon Racer stands out. Rather than sticking to the status quo by being another F-Zero/WipEout clone, it deliberately defies it by being built on the theme of you taking control of the final collection of wheel-based vehicles before the world transitions to full hover technology before 2031. But, Xenon Racer still does borrow a few familiar aspects of the futuristic racing genre such as blazingly high-speed action, a strategic boost mechanic, and damage meter....

Former professional Overwatch player Felix “xQc” Lengyel has been banned from Twitch yet again for showing a brief bit of nudity during a livestream. The popular streamer was playing Strip 4, a risqué video game version of Connect Four with rules similar to strip poker. When xQc beat his female opponent, he was rewarded with the possibility of removing her bra. However, the game didn’t offer a “no” option and so the streamer selected “yes....

A world without the Beatles sounds a little bit like a world without sunshine or blue skies. As a member of one of the many generations born after the fab four even broke up—never mind Ed Sullivan—my awareness of their place in our culture is wordless. They’re as firm a foundation in Western music as Beethoven or Mozart. Hence why the premise of Yesterday could, on the surface, be some kind of dystopian Twilight Zone nightmare: One day after the power goes out all around the world, a struggling musician realizes he’s the only person alive who remembers the Beatles....

Sony has announced that the third-person, hack and slash mech shooter, Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner – Mars, will be coming to PlayStation 4 and PC. Konami’s original 2003 title will receive a 4K remaster ahead of its Spring 2018 release. The game will also feature full VR support on PlayStation VR, though there’s no mention of whether it’ll provide Vive or Oculus Rift support. This’ll probably be the closest we ever get to a Zone of the Enders 3....

Long-time Naughty Dog director Bruce Straley has unveiled his new studio Wildflower Interactive with its first game currently in production.

WildStar, the sci-fi MMO released in 2014, is the latest subscription-based title to make the switch to a free-to-play model, NCSoft and Carbine Studios have announced. The game will transition to free-to-play in the autumn, but developer Carbine promises fans the game will retain its triple-A quality. “At the beginning of 2015, we outlined key points of focus for WildStar to help make this great game even better, focusing heavily on player feedback and bringing meaningful changes,” said Mike Donatelli, product director, Carbine Studios....

Redfall is the latest title from developer Arkane Studios, the mastermind development team behind Dishonored and Deathloop, and published by Bethesda. Redfall looks to be an evolution of the latter title, as players must fight off an army of vampires using unique abilities and weaponry. Given Bethesda is publishing the team’s latest title, it begs to question if it will appear on Xbox’s Game Pass service. Fear not; here’s what you need to know about Redfall and if it’ll launch on Game Pass....

World of Warcraft’s Dragonflight expansion was revealed to players all the way back in April. Set to release in November 2022, it will be the game’s ninth expansion, which is an awe-inspiring feat. However, it’s looking like the latest Dragonflight expansion may be somewhat bittersweet. Many players have speculated that Dragonflight might be World of Warcraft’s last expansion, marking the end of a very long era. If you’re looking for answers to this question, you’ve come to the right place....
