Marvel Rivals season one is nearly upon us, being set to drop tomorrow, January 10. Ahead of that though, in addition to sharing the fresh additions and tweaks to established characters that it'll bring, NetEase has put out listings of the heroes currently being picked most often in both quickplay and competitive matches.
]]>Go Go Muffin is a mobile idle game that takes place during a lengthy wagon journey. As you explore, you’ll automatically fight foes (but take control when battling tough bosses), summon adorable pets, and build your character to your liking, all while making your way through a colorful fantasy world.
]]>Will the next Battlefield save the series and bring it back as a major player in the shooter space? Is that something that it could even do? EA would certainly like the answer to both of those questions to be ‘yes’, and the publisher has been working to secure every possible advantage to help get it there.
]]>The Christmas themed events are continuing in Monopoly Go, with the popular app following up North Pole Profits with the new Greeting Journey event.
]]>Monopoly Go has launched a new festive themed event this week called North Pole Profits, which offers players dozens of rewards in the run-up to Christmas.
]]>"Curse you, Jeff!" That's what I've yelled internally as I was thrown into the nearest abyss at least five times since Marvel Rivals' launch on December 6. Before that, I barely even knew who the hell Jeff the Land Shark was, and this is coming from a pop culture sicko.
]]>It turns out that people really like video games, actually, as both Marvel Rivals and Steam had some pretty ridiculous numbers this weekend.
]]>Marvel Rivals is a Hero Shooter - literally.
]]>Marvel Rivals is out at last, and it looks as though the game is popping off already, hitting a fantastic 444,000 peak concurrent player count on Steam a few hours after its release last night. This number will likely increase too, as we approach the weekend and word of mouth does its work.
]]>Ananta - formerly Project Mugen - has just got itself a new gameplay reveal trailer as well as an official name. This trailer takes the viewer through multiple aspects of the game be it swinging around the city, driving in fancy cars, battling random guys or taking on giant robots. You can watch below for yourself, but it very much seems to have taken a note or two from GTA 6's own debut trailer.
]]>Jujutsu Kaisen Phantom Parade is the official mobile game for the hugely popular Shonen Jump anime series of the same name. The free-to-play RPG that lets you relive the story of JJK from the beginning, going back to where it all began for Yuji Itadori.

]]>2K has announced Project Ethos, a new "3rd-person roguelike hero shooter" - yep, here's another one of those - from 31st Union, the studio headed up by Michael Condrey, the co-founder of Call of Duty studio Sledgehammer Games that didn't do The Callisto Protocol.

]]>It's the start of a brand new week, and Monopoly Go players can get things off to the perfect start by trying out the new Fall Fortunes event.

]]>Monopoly Go players on the hunt for extra rewards can take part in the Cave Of Riches event that's running this week.
]]>Who would’ve thought it, but it turns out in Marvel Rivals, the upcoming 6v6 Hero Shooter from NetEase Games and Marvel Games, the superheroes are considered quite important.
]]>Delta Force: Hawk Ops developer Team Jade promised us some news at Gamescom 2024, and during tonight’s Opening Night Live presentation, we got just that. The upcoming free-to-play shooter revealed a brief look at the game, and that it'll be appearing at Steam Next Fest in October.
]]>This character reveal of course came alongside a new trailer, which gave us a good look at the two new characters, as well as a brief tease for Dr. Doom at the end, who just so happens to have just arrived in Fortnite.
]]>Steam has undergone some serious changes today, and one change in particular spells success for both the games that you pay for, and the free-to-play games that are soaring up the Steam charts. When combined together, both categories can step on each others' toes, but they're now separated, allowing for ease of browsing.
]]>Anime Power Defense is an anime-inspired Roblox tower defense game where you’ll summon for rare anime heroes, upgrade your units, and position them to defend your base in the game’s story mode or in tricky trials.
]]>Cake Off is a Roblox cake decorating game where you’ll vote for a theme, create the cake of your dreams using various toppers, flavors, and icings (in an impressively detailed decorating mode), and advance through rounds to take home the crown.
]]>Eternal Battlegrounds is a Roblox fighting game where you’ll master a complex, parry-based fighting system, fight fellow players in an open world to earn Coins, and spend them on new Champions based on popular anime series like One Piece, Demon Slayer, and Chainsaw Man, all with their own sets of abilities.
]]>The Battlefield series is a classic for a reason. Battlefield multiplayer has always been its strongest element, even when DICE squandered built-in potential or fumbled something or other seemingly unnecessarily. For as old as it is, however, it never really had any proper competition.
]]>The world is due another Wuthering Waves update, and luckily for all of us, we won't have to wait long. Wuthering Waves version 1.2 will be launching on August 15 worldwide, and brings with it new characters, events, and even a dancing turtle.
]]>Following a bit of a delay, the Delta Force: Hawk Ops PC alpha test has officially kicked off in the West. An older version of the game has been playable for quite some time in Asia, but this is the first time Western players have been able to get their hands on it.
]]>Emergency Hamburg is a Roblox RPG that lets you get behind the wheel as an emergency services worker. Whether you’re a police officer, firefighter, medic, bus driver, car mechanic, truck driver, or even just a citizen (or criminal), you can take on jobs and drive around the city of Hamburg.
]]>Character RNG is a Roblox RNG game where you’ll roll over and over again to try to win the rarest characters, with characters inspired by everything from Red Dead Redemption 2 to My Hero Academia. Rarer characters even come with their own auras, which lets you flex your fanciest characters to friends and rivals.

]]>Inspired by the popular anime Demon Slayer, Weak Legacy 2 is a Roblox adventure game where you’ll choose between fighting for humanity or the demons, take on quests, and explore a massive world. Along the way, you’ll roll to earn new and rare character attributes including Arts and Clans.
]]>After years of quietly working on the next big thing, Mountaintop Studios, a team made up of game development veterans from Respawn, Riot Games, Bungie and other AAA studios, has officially unveiled its first project to the world.
]]>Marvel Rivals is out in the wild through its invite-only beta test, pulling in players and taking the fight to a genre still dominated by Overwatch 2 (even with all its issues). But it seems that NetEase has pulled a trick to get more folks invested in the comic book based third person shooter: Jeff. He's a tiny land shark with a cute little collar, and he's taking the game by storm.
]]>I wasn't sure about Marvel Rivals after its initial announcement and previews, but the closed beta is giving me hope that something acceptable could come out of this one despite some glaring issues that need to addressed.
]]>Brawl Stars is a smash-hit sensation, and not just because it’s popular! This slick and fast-paced Battle Royale pits a huge roster of colorful characters against one another in a variety of different arenas and game types.
]]>The live-service bubble has been bursting for a while. That much is clear. But with how long most triple-A (and even double-AA) video games take to make nowadays and how absurdly huge the possible wins are, it comes as no surprise it's taking a bit of time to partially retreat from a model that's grown increasingly risky in the last three years or so. This summer, a handful of free-to-play titles such as The First Descendant and Zenless Zone Zero are making a splash, but we're still looking at the same big issue.
]]>Monopoly Go players looking to earn extra dice rolls, stickers and cash can take part in the Knightly Quest event.
]]>Tycoon Fair is the latest event to launch in Monopoly Go, with dozens of rewards available for players to unlock.
]]>Rivals is a Roblox shooter with an impressively detailed weapon system. In this game, you’ll challenge other players to duels, shop for snazzy-looking weapons and skins, and unlock rewards by completing contracts, all while working your way up the leaderboard (and while racking up a win streak to flex to other players).
]]>Suggesting that a Chinese company is trying to copy the success of a major Western competitor by creating its own version of its product is a timeless statement that doesn’t require any context. It’s not that uncommon in the realm of video games – there was a very high-profile case regarding Overwatch and a Chinese clone, for example, as well as more recent takes on Hearthstone and Palworld and Valorant. Yes, this trend has been getting a little more brazen lately.
]]>Vacation Voyage is the latest event to launch in Monopoly Go, offering players plenty of rewards to unlock and earn.
]]>Honor of Kings is a mobile MOBA that's comparable to League of Legends. In this game, you’ll collect colorful heroes, team up against other players, and master lane-based combat where you attempt to reach the enemy team’s base.
]]>Re: XL is an anime-inspired Roblox fighting game where you’ll aim to become the strongest hero around. In this game, you’ll roll for rare races and classes, fight foes hidden throughout the city, and meet characters inspired by popular animes like One Piece, Dragon Ball Z, and Naruto.
]]>Anime Heroes Simulator is an anime-inspired Roblox fighting game that lets you build the anime team of your dreams. In this game, you’ll click to earn power, then use it to fight off foes scattered throughout the world to earn Diamonds. Once you’ve got enough Diamonds, you can roll for tiny anime characters to fight alongside you, making you a lot stronger (and a lot cooler).
]]>Hunter Era is a Roblox adventure game set in the Hunter x Hunter universe. In this game, you’ll take on quests, challenge other players, and master an in-depth fighting system, all while on your way to become the greatest hunter (or villain!).
]]>Monopoly Go players looking to earn plenty of rewards should check out the Riviera Riches event.
]]>Locked is a Roblox game based on the popular anime series series Blue Lock. Like that Shonen smash hit, this experience is all about football - with players dropped into a dystopian training camp where they'll play matches and try to build the perfect striker.
]]>Dynamax wasn't a very popular feature of Pokemon Sword and Shield, but it looks like it's on its way to Pokemon Go.
]]>Do you remember The First Descendant? It’s Nexon’s free-to-play loot shooter that’s been in the news for about two years. It first landed with an impressive cinematic trailer that was followed up months later by various beta tests.
]]>Tarisland is a mobile and PC game that’s reminiscent of classic MMORPGs like World of Warcraft. In this game, you’ll select a class, explore a massive world, and take on dungeons and raids while growing your character.
]]>Admin RNG takes the Roblox RNG trend to another level by giving players rarer and rarer admin privileges. In this game, you’ll spin for rare commands and then use them on other players — and commands can do everything from changing other players’ time of day to throwing them off the map and cloning them, so there’s a lot worth rolling for.
]]>Anime Impact is a turn-based, anime-inspired Roblox fighting game where you’ll roll for units based on popular animes (including Demon Slayer, Naruto, and Dragon Ball Z) and command them in strategy-heavy fights. In the game’s neon hub city, you can also reroll units’ blessings and stats, upgrade their stats, and even fight other players in PvP mode.
]]>I played a few games of Marvel Rivals at Summer Game Fest 2024 earlier this month, and came away thoroughly disappointed. It's a competent enough team-based third-person shooter, and one with real appeal for Marvel fans, but it's a shadow on the wall compared to other competitors in the same genre.
]]>Horrors RNG is a luck-based Roblox game where you’ll roll over and over again to try to collect the rarest auras. In this game, though, the auras are horror-themed, and you’ll carry everything from a fiery summoning circle to a starry abyss around with you as you walk around the game’s spooky world.
]]>A Universal Time is an anime-inspired Roblox game where you’ll collect skins and abilities based on series like Hunter x Hunter, Dragon Ball Z, and JoJo’s Bizzare Adventure. Along with your newfound anime powers, you’ll fight bosses, level up abilities, take on quests in a massive open world, and aim to become the strongest fighter around.
]]>Tapping Legends Final is a Roblox pet collecting game where you’ll click as much as possible to gain taps, which allow you to hatch eggs to gain pets that follow you wherever you go. Your pets will boost the number of clicks you get, allowing you to unlock rarer and rarer eggs (and better pets) and eventually discover entirely new worlds.
]]>Gym League is a Roblox game set in an outdoor gym at a beach. You’ll create your own character, train with a variety of machines and weights, and work your way up to being the strongest at the gym. Along the way, you’ll complete quests and roll for rare, anime-inspired auras (and eventually work your way up to new gyms).
]]>Mogul Of The Opera is the latest event to launch in Monopoly Go, with lots of rewards available for players to unlock this week.
]]>Fast & Luxurious is the latest event to launch in Monopoly Go, with plenty of rewards available to unlock this week.
]]>Wuthering Waves is the latest gacha game to capture the imaginations of RPG fans, so naturally, there are loads and loads of characters to choose from even at launch. While the lootboxy nature of WuWa's monetisation means you can't guarantee access to all of your favourite characters straight away, the launch rewards are surprisingly generous, and it's not too hard to fill out your roster quite quickly from early on in the game.
]]>Monopoly Go players in need of some extra rewards can take part in the Boardwalk Bonanza event that's running right now.
]]>Monster Ghoul is a Roblox RPG that’s inspired by Tokyo Ghoul. In this game, you’ll get to pick between being a ghoul or a member of the Commision of Counter Ghoul, and from there, you’ll spend the rest of your time fighting off the opposite of what you chose to be. As you fight, you’ll unlock some pretty flashy moves regardless of what side you’re on.
]]>Anime Odyssey Simulator is an anime-inspired Roblox game where you’ll collect tiny anime heroes, command them to fight foes for you, and fight global bosses with your fellow players.
]]>Egg Empire is a Roblox game tycoon game (that’s inspired by mobile game Egg, Inc.) where you’ll tap to spawn chickens, collect their eggs, and sell them. Along the way, you’ll also step on buttons to expand your farm and hire workers, eventually automating your business as much as possible.
]]>Roblox Is Unbreakable is a Roblox RPG that’s inspired by JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. In this game, you’ll explore a massive map, take on quests given by characters based on JJBA, and work your way through an impressive story with several chapters.
]]>As promised, Delta Force: Hawk Ops dropped a new trailer during Summer Game Fest’s opening showcase. This one was teased a couple of weeks ago, if you’ve been keeping up, so we were happy to see it on the show.
]]>As the Rover's search for the truth continues in Wuthering Waves, their mission leads them to the Grand Library of Jinzhou and the Clashing Blades quest.
]]>There are multiple paths to repairing Blu the robot in Wuthering Waves, either through the No Response Tonight quest or the Shooting Party quest.
]]>Who knew that the Rover's talents in Wuthering Waves extended to both solving mysteries and operating heavy machinery? But in the Hidden Dangers in a Peaceful Life quest you not only have to solve a missing persons case, but fix a complicated piece of mining equipment at the same time.
]]>Throughout all of the diverse landscapes in Wuthering Waves, few are as mysterious as the Banyan forest in the southwest of the continent.
]]>The Rover might be a powerful character in Wuthering Waves, but they've still got a lot to learn when it comes to defeating the toughest Tacet Discords. So why not learn from the best? At least, they say they're the best.
]]>In the wooded area in the east of Jinzhou in Wuthering Waves, speak to Shixia and her dog, Pudding. She’s looking for a gift her sister left for her, which is supposed to be accessible by following clues.
]]>You could say that the Rover is the guiding light of Wuthering Waves, but in the Repair the Lighthouse quest that takes on an even more literal meaning.
]]>Lurking in caves and hideaways throughout Wuthering Waves, the Rover encounters powerful elite enemies like the Scorpion's Nest in the Donglu Research Station.
]]>I don’t know about you, but I’m quite used to shelving my main character in games like Wuthering Waves. My Honkai Star Rail MC rarely sees the light of day, but the best Havoc Rover build in WuWa is - right now - incredible to use as a part of your Team of Resonators. Seriously, don’t sleep on them.
]]>There are many keen explorers in Wuthering Waves. But those who have already completed most of the story content will likely want to spend their time farming five-star Echoes and other resources for their Resonators, as well as hunting down the remaining achievement trophies they’ve yet to get.
]]>Monopoly Go players looking for extra rewards can take part in the Mars Metropolis event that's running at the moment.
]]>The world of Wuthering Waves fuses fantasy and sci-fi into a beautiful action-intensive mixture of mayhem, and its bosses are no different. Solaris-3 has plenty of bosses to battle it out with and farm ascension materials from, though, a few of them are locked behind story beats. One such boss is the Mech Abomination, who many will be looking to farm for building Yinlin.
]]>Getting your hands on Whisperin Cores is nothing to shout about in Wuthering Waves. However, there are a confusing amount of rarities to consider, making LF, MF, HF, or FF cores a pretty important item in your collection. These common drops are a key component when it comes to ascending weapons and Resonators, as well as improving the skills of your team.
]]>Howler Cores are just one of the many resources in Wuthering Waves you will need to level up your characters, but they're definitely the resource that sounds most like a subgenre of extreme heavy metal. Fortunately, they’re easy enough to acquire in abundance, but when it comes to the varying rarities - LF, MF, HF, and FF - you might find youself short for a specific Resonator or weapon.
]]>If you’re looking to ascend fan favorites such as Verina in Wuthering Waves, one thing you’ll need plenty of is Belle Poppy.
]]>You might just think they look pretty, but flowers are an important resource in Wuthering Waves, and Iris is one of the most useful.
]]>Mushrooms can be delicious. Mushrooms can be poisonous, dangerous even. But sometimes, mushrooms can be just a little bit magic. Coriolus in Wuthering Waves are definitely the latter.
]]>The best Wuthering Waves Jiyan build is pretty straightforward to put together. Jiyan's sole purpose is to whack things with his sword, a lot, so you don't have to mess around with stat scaling or complex Forte Circuits to get the most out of him.
]]>There are plenty of resources and materials to keep tabs on in Wuthering Waves, and an unexpected one is Scarletthorn. This is one of many minerals in the game that can be used for crafting, and it’s worth seeking out and farming whenever you see it, as the items that you get from collecting it can come in clutch.
]]>The best Wuthering Waves Jianxin build gives this 5-star Aero character a well-rounded set of stats and lets her fill almost any role on your team. That said, we prefer Jianxin as a main DPS – or a sub-DPS with a fair bit of field time – thanks to her excellent self-sustain capabilities and how easily she can deal with groups of enemies alone.
]]>Monopoly Go players looking for plenty of free rewards in the hit app can take part in the Cloud Cruisin' event that's running right now.
]]>Rise of Kingdoms is a strategy-based mobile game reminiscent of the Civilization series. In Rise of Kingdoms, you’ll pick a historical civilization, fight other players in the game’s massive seamless map, and guide your empire to victory.
]]>Demonfall is an anime-inspired Roblox game based on Demon Slayer. In Demonfall, you’ll create your character and decide to live as a demon or demon slayer, fighting different foes and experiencing a different story depending on your choice.
]]>Wuthering Waves is a gacha RPG, and as is the case with all gacha RPGs, there are a lot of different systems and mechanics to wrap your head around. It can all be a lot to keep on top of, and one of the many things you’ll need to remember to do is tune your Echoes.
]]>Wuthering Waves dev Kuro Games has once again apologised for the game's rough launch, saying it is "disheartened" at its "inability to provide a high-quality gaming experience."
]]>A good Wuthering Waves Baizhi build doesn’t just give your team an excellent – and free – healer. It helps Baizhi boost everyone’s abilities, and it’s even pretty easy to put together. If you don’t feel like using one of your free 5-star character claims on Verina, stick with Baizhi for a while.
]]>The best Wuthering Waves Chixia build turns the free, fiery gunslinger into a potent main DPS for your team, without having to invest too much time in finding the right fits. Chixia might not have the wide-ranging utility of someone like Mortefi, but she still has a lot to offer once you get the right rotation down.
]]>Want to pick the best units to form your team in Squad Busters? In the new free-to-play brawler made by the Supercell team, you can recruit famous characters from their games such as Clash of Clans, Boom Beach, and many others, to fight in 10-person multiplayer matches. With a total of 27 characters available, each with their own status, abilities, and evolutions, learning what are the most powerful ones will come in handy.
]]>We Promise, We Deliver is an important Exploration Quest in Wuthering Waves that delves into the history of one of Solaris-3’s most dangerous areas, the Sea of Flames, while also pitting you against a devious flamethrower pipe puzzle.
]]>If you weren’t already sure that Wuthering Waves is a superior gacha game, consider this: Solaris-3 is full of cats.
]]>Like most gacha RPGs, Wuthering Waves invites you to tell it when your birthday is. You're under absolutely no obligation to tell it the truth, of course, if you're particularly concerned about privacy; but genre veterans will probably be expecting something good in return for giving up this basic bit of personal info. You might even be tempted to enter the date you created your account as your birthday, in order to receive any gifts or freebies as soon as possible while your Rover is still getting themselves set up.
]]>Wuthering Waves has more than a few different Resonators to try and build a team with, all of which wield different weapons. Ranged, pistol-toting characters are a minority in WuWa, which is a little annoying considering some challenges and puzzles require their guns, but fortunately, Mortefi is one that is highly capable in battle and flexible between compositions.
]]>If Wuthering Waves' roster of Resonators already has you hollering for more, get ready for another round with the powerful and particularly easy to use five star character, Encore. This Black Shores member is accompanied by some adorable sheep-like plushies - Cosmos and Cloudy - that help her in battle. But the damage these teddies deal is anything but soft.
]]>Secret Investigation is a world quest in Wuthering Waves that’s equal parts espionage and memory test, tasking the Rover with infiltrating a gang of smugglers running arms out of Jinzhou.
]]>
