A new Dragon Quest is always a reason to celebrate, and Dragon Quest XII: The Flames of Fate has been announced. The reveal came out during a live stream event and only featured a brief teaser, but there are a few more details to glean. For starters, we don’t know if it’ll release to PC right away or not. Since we got two versions of DQ XI, it’s likely we’ll get this one as well....
This Dynasty review contains spoilers. Dynasty Season 2 Episode 9 Review Whew, Dynasty sure knows how to do a finale, mid-season or otherwise. Even with only a season and a half under its belt, “Crazy Lady” manages to mine the reboot’s lore for all its worth, giving us a high-impact, head-spinning episode to cap off the never-ending Carrington Christmas. There’s a wild little tap dance that the beginning of this episode plays when it comes to the concept of who knows what about this baby’s parentage – and Hank’s....

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor was unveiled back in May, but we haven’t heard much about it since then. That’s reportedly set to change, though. According to new details via Jeff Grubb, it looks like Star Wars Jedi: Survivor could start its marketing in December. This could take the form of a more solid release date or a gameplay reveal, but for now, it’s anyone’s guess. The latest Star Wars title is set to launch sometime in March 2023, and Grubb states that the game is “still on track for that March release date....

Elden Ring is a brand new action-RPG from FromSoftware and Bandai Namco, and it features a large open-world with plenty of dungeons to explore and optional bosses to fight. However, big games often come with a few bugs here and there, and this one is no exception. Here’s how to fix the invisible enemies bug in Elden Ring. Fixing the Invisible Enemies Bug in Elden Ring The invisible enemies bug can be really annoying as you won’t be able to see the enemy models at all, and that could very easily cause a lot of deaths as you’re exploring....
Piranha Bytes, the developer behind Risen and Gothic, has shared some more footage of its upcoming open-world action RPG, Elex, which takes place in a post-apocalyptic universe. The video introduces two of the four factions that’ll be playable in the game, The Outlaw and Berserker factions, as well showing the environments they live in, and the threats they face.

The ESRB has released its ratings synopsis for Quantic Dream’s Heavy Rain, and in doing so has detailed some of the games finer adult moments — many of which may be considered spoilers. You can read the spoiler-filled ratings synopsis here, although note that most of the exemplified content is clearly described in the synopsis. Actually, it’s so detailed that there should be a separate institution to put a rating on the ESRB rating’s synopsis....
Nintendo has set up its 2020 fairly conventionally, still sticking to ports of Wii and Wii U games to fill in the gaps between major Switch releases. There are still many exclusives without official release dates but that information could be a Nintendo Direct away. Either way, there’s plenty of games set to release in 2020 for the Nintendo Switch, so here’s everything revealed so far. Tokyo Mirage Sessions FE Encore - January 17 Nintendo started off its 2020 fairly lightly with only an enhanced edition of the Wii U game Tokyo Mirage Sessions FE Encore hitting the Switch....
I can’t believe she flipped a coin to decide the degree she’d do. If it had fallen differently, she might have been on an archaeological dig somewhere now, in Egypt, looking at ancient bones. But instead she’s here as the guides editor of Eurogamer, looking at ancient writers like me. She is Lottie Lynn and much to our benefit, the coin she flipped landed on ‘writing’, something that’s been a driving force in her life....
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate was previously announced as the headlining game of EVO Japan 2020, but everyone who is attending the event is already taking a major loss according to recent reports. Because of Nintendo’s aversion to classify Smash as an esports title as well as the overarching reach of the Japanese Esports Union (JESU), the event with the largest amount of participants are facing off for a limited edition version of a Switch controller that retails for $80....

While the demo will be up for grabs on PlayStation 4, PC, and Xbox One, we don’t know anything about what content will feature in terms of teams and stadiums.

Final Fantasy is one of the longest-running and most beloved franchises in gaming history. The series introduced the RPG to a whole generation of gamers, weaving deep and memorable stories that every fan has their own personal favorite highlight reel from. One major element of the series’ success has been its iconic cast of characters. From infamous villains like Kefka to beloved heroes like the happy-go-lucky Zidane Tribal, there are so many unforgettable characters, but they’re not always so memorable for the right reasons....

The Final Fantasy XIV Digital Fan Festival 2021 has opened with a bang — specifically, with the full trailer for Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker. The new trailer seems to confirm a bunch of the guesses I and others had, as well as hinting and a few other bits and pieces. If you saw the previous trailer, then this is effectively an extended version of that. Endwalker‘s full trailer The full Endwalker trailer can be seen below, but the big takeaways — amongst others — are that the second new city appears to be Old Sharlayan, and the new class appears to be a scythe-wielder....
The Golden Deer house lies in the middle in terms of strength which is impressive considering their house is comprised of many commoners and few nobles compared to the Black Eagles or Blue Lions. These students hail from the Leicester Alliance and have a heavy emphasis on fighting with bows, which makes sense considering how many commoners rely on these for hunting. These powerful bow fighters make for a strong ranged army and any player would benefit from their down to earth personalities and skilled archers....
Valve believes it will have a fix for Elden Ring’s “heavy stutter during background streaming” on Steam Deck next week. Although there’s no firm release date pinned down just yet, players keen to try sooner rather than later can try the Proton release now “on the bleeding-edge branch of Experimental”, according to Valve coder, Pierre-Loup Griffais. Elden Ring publisher Bandai Namco acknowledged various performance problems with the game shortly after its release, particularly with its PC build....
