After the lukewarm reception for Ghost Recon: Breakpoint led Ubisoft to delay three of its biggest games , it isn’t taking any more chances. The game’s crossover Terminator event won’t go live until some time next year. The 1.10 title update is meant to fix multiple issues with audio, as well as with enemy AI, basejumping, and night vision goggles. The Terminator Live Event was previously set to begin sometime between the end of December and mid-January. You’ll be able to earn exclusive weapons,

The Forgotten City is a standalone game based on an award-winning Skyrim mod that sets players off on a murder-mystery investigation in an ancient underground city, where they’ll grapple with themes including morality, modern society, humanism, and time travel. Developer Modern Storyteller announced today that it has signed a deal with Dear Villagers, whose previous releases include Dead in Vinland and Bury Me, My Love, to publish The Forgotten City. “From the start, I wanted The Forgotten City

No Man’s Sky’s newest feature is the ByteBeat Device, which Hello Games describes as “a full audio creation application.” “Once placed in your base and powered, the ByteBeat will immediately begin to produce sound,” Hello Games explains. As Hello Games notes, ByteBeat music has been around for a few years. It’s possible to recreate, or at least convincingly mimic, all sorts of sounds and rhythms using ByteBeat, and it looks like No Man’s Sky’s take on the genre will allow players to do just that

(Image credit: Valve)Garry’s Mod turns 15 this month, marking a decade and a half of untrammelled Source Engine chaos.

John Boyega may play Finn in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker , but how well does he play Cal Kestis in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order ? The actor sat down for an Xbox Sessions video and got a chance to play the game for the first time. He’s a big Star Wars Battlefront 2 player, so it’s interesting to see how he adjusts to the different gameplay style (he doesn’t play Battlefront 2 as Finn, by the way, but Anakin). After his playthrough, Boyega remarks on how much Battlefront players wanted more s

Warcraft 3: Reforged, announced at BlizzCon 2018, is a complete remaster of the great Blizzard RTS Warcraft 3, built from the ground-up with new art and animations.

The overhauled game includes the full Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos campaign and The Frozen Throne expansion, adding up to more than 60 missions across seven singleplayer campaigns. Characters, structu

According to community manager David ‘Deej’ Dague, this is exactly the sort of MMORPG-style mechanic that Bungie wants to explore in the future. “We want to lean more into the MMORPG elements that make Destiny special,” Dague says. The Charged with Light mods allow players to build stacks of a Light buff and then spend them on special abilities and bonuses, from enhanced damage to refunded ammo. A few short years ago, comparing Destiny 2 to a conventional tab-target MMO would’ve been unthinkable

Security-conscious Russian president Vladimir Putin has not heeded Microsoft’s advice to stop using its obsolete OS, apparently continuing to use Windows XP in the Kremlin and his official residence. Russian website Open Media noticed Putin using the OS in official press shots, as if he had no shame whatsoever. Officials aren’t meant to use foreign software, with Windows XP apparently being the last OS certified for use within the government. But it looks like Putin is still using it in at least

If you spent a boatload of money building a no-compromise gaming PC, good news: Asus apparently has a monitor that will do your hardware justice. It’s the TUF Gaming VG279QM, and according to the marketing materials, it delivers up to a 280Hz refresh rate. It’s not entirely clear if the advertised 280Hz refresh rate is the native measurement on VG279QM or if that comes by way of overclocking the panel.

Fornite ‘s new Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker content is pretty cool, but getting Mark Hamill to show it off is even cooler. This week, Luke Skywalker himself will join Ninja to play some good ol’ fashioned Fortnite in an Xbox Sessions special feature.
