This weekend, the three best teams in Europe will be battling it out in the Spring Split Finals in an attempt to bolster their position and strength on the road to Worlds. Do you want to know how to watch the League of Legends LEC Spring Split 2019 final? Riot overhauled the format of its European League of Legends professional league for this year, which means the Spring Split finals will see either G2, Fnatic or Origen crowned the very first victor of the LEC Finals. How to watch the League of

Several RPGs – such as The Witcher 3 – will take a more hands-off approach, leaving you free to explore beyond the boundaries of your starting zone as early as you wish. However, a video game separates its starting zone from the wider world, though, the intentions are the same; to provide a sense of the ordinary that preludes and thus enriches the adventure to come. Indeed, without that contrast, the prospect of leaving this place of relative comfort and serenity wouldn’t be quite so daunting. T

If you’re on the lookout for one of the best PS4 headsets then this deal is basically as perfect as they come: Sony’s official Platinum wireless headset is down to its lowest price ever at just $97.36 at Walmart right now. It’s a great headset and has the official branding from Sony, so it’s perfect for pairing with PS4. But what sets the Platinum headset apart from others is its integration into PlayStation exclusive games utilising customised and optimised 3D sound profiles for games that you

Guerrilla Games hasn’t announced it yet but you know Horizon Zero Dawn 2 is coming, I know Horizon Zero Dawn 2 is coming, and actress Janina Gavankar knows Horizon Zero Dawn 2 is coming. Gavankar voiced Tatai in Horizon: Zero Dawn ‘s Frozen Wilds DLC – not a huge role, but big enough (and left open-ended enough) that it wouldn’t be surprising for her to reappear in a sequel. When talking to a fan who came to Celebration in cosplay as Gavankar’s character from Star Wars Battlefront 2 , the conver

A little Mouse may have told you overnight that a certain Disney+ streaming service is coming in 2019. Not only are we getting Disney’s incredible back catalogue as part of the deal, we’re also getting MCU shows, Star Wars shows, Captain Marvel on launch, and even every Simpsons episode ever, all for a price that’s cheaper than Netflix. There’s going to be an animated MCU series, tentatively titled “What If?” that focuses on the Marvel going down different paths at key junctures. You can’t forge

The Nintendo Switch is a near-perfect portable gaming platform, but the console still has one gaping blind spot to address; its total lack of streaming services. Disney, however, might be about to change that with the upcoming release of its Disney+ streaming service, as we’ve just learned a ton of new information about the platform during the company’s recent investor presentation. The key piece of info for console owners, though, is that Disney+ has plans to release on every smart device in ex

Our first look at Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is here, thanks to a T-shirt that went up for sale too early. Prolific video game snooper-arounder Wario64 spotted the product, called “Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order Logo Teaser Poster T-Shirt” on Amazon, and noticed that it seems to prominently feature a large, detailed piece of concept art for the game. An original Star Wars story, Jedi Fallen Order follows a surviving Padawan and is set shortly after the events of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith. Th

It’s centered around a new activity called the Verdant Forest, a randomly generated dungeon styled after the Vex Infinite Forest. It’s unclear whether all activities will yield Reveler’s Essence or just the Verdant Forest. The more Inaugural Revelry armor pieces you wear, the more potent your tonic will be. Perhaps most importantly, by completing Destiny 2 Revelry triumphs and earning Reveler’s Essence, you’ll unlock the Arbalest, a previously datamined kinetic Exotic linear fusion rifle. These

With Game of Thrones season 8 just days away, little tidbits of information about the final season are surfacing all over the place. The latest of which might hint at Sansa Stark leaving Winterfell behind for somewhere a lot warmer… potential Game of Thrones spoilers to follow. When I sat down to talk to the Game of Thrones cast about season 8 earlier this year, I quizzed them on their final days of filming . But it does hint at Sansa leaving Winterfell behind at some point during the final seas

The story of Dark Souls is best described as laissez-faire. Which is fine and all – Dark Souls has never been about story – but it does mean the overarching plot can be a bit confusing at times. So much so, in fact, that even the folks at From Software often don’t know what’s going on. As VG24/7 reports, Dark Souls director Hidetaka Miyazaki discussed video game narratives at a recent event in Croatia. Miyazaki explained that he writes stories to suit gameplay, not the other way around, which ce

It was hardly a secret that Yakuza Kiwami 2 is headed to PC, but now we have an official release date: May 9. Just like how the first Yakuza Kiwami revisited our original introduction to Kamurocho, Yakuza Kiwami 2 is a ground-up remake of Yakuza 2’s tale of clashing Dragons. The Yakuza series has so many entries and re-releases and ports these days that I should probably lay out some relevant dates real quick. PC players will also get to enjoy unlocked frame rates, 4K resolution support, and cus

I know precisely two things about Rage 2 : it’s out next month on May 14, and it’s gotten some surprisingly good trailers. “Everything vs Me,” the latest in a growing line of Rage 2 trailers, was released earlier today. As you may have guessed from the title, the theme of the trailer is you against the world, only the world is full of cyborg ninjas, redneck mechs, and unfortunate buffalos. In all seriousness, these enemies look like a massive improvement over the original Rage, which suffered fr

Some Avengers: Endgame fans have taken hunting for wild theories to the next level. If you watch the new “@Avengers: Endgame” Clip again, and you might need headphones for this one; at mark .49 you can clearly hear a whisper that says “I have telepathy.” #AvengersEndgame #IMAX #MARVEL #MCU #Superhero #Film pic.twitter.com/5N1yJaSE40April 9, 2019The Avengers: Endgame clip, which you can see above, sees a sullen Thor rising from his seat and walking up to a headstrong Carol Danvers. !April 9, 2019

Inside Xbox, Microsoft’s series of monthly live-streams designed to showcase the upcoming features and titles on the way to Xbox One, is returning on Tuesday, April 16. As part of its Road to E3 2019 campaign, the show will also feature “the latest news on E3, including Xbox FanFest and more”, suggesting we could be seeing the first teases for Microsoft’s slate of E3 2019 games, announced or otherwise, as early as next week.

Things are certainly heating up in the world of Borderlands 3 , as after Troy Baker said that he wasn’t happy that he’s not going to be in Rhys in Borderlands 3 , Randy Pitchford has clapped back and said that he was told Baker turned the role down. The news came directly from Pitchford’s Twitter account, where he claims that the audio director told him Baker wasn’t interested in playing Rhys:You’ll have to ask Troy. Fortunately, with how Rhys appears in the game, I don’t think it actually matte

A seemingly innocuous Nintendo Switch trailer released earlier this week seems to have outed some fairly big news: a stage builder is coming to Super Smash Bros. It’s possible the trailer was filmed using an updated version of Super Smash Bros. If that’s the case, the update containing the new stage builder may not be that far off. Assuming this teaser holds up, Ultimate will be the third Smash game to get a stage builder. The feature first appeared in Super Smash Bros. Brawl on the Wii, where i

For two senior developers who left one of the world’s best-known video game studios, it was a matter of creative survival – and proving that returning to your inspiration doesn’t mean regressing. It was technically BioWare’s second project after Shattered Steel (a mech combat game), but Baldur’s Gate was the first BioWare game. And yes, even famously Knights of the Old Republic uses the stat and level system [from D&D],” Ohlen pauses, laughing. Satisfied, I ask him what BioWare game he’d choose

Never-ending gameplayThis is an issue that can be found in across almost all of the always-online games available today. Now you might dismiss all this as the ramblings of a woman with a wine problem/someone who pees too much. But for now, I think always-online games are going to rely more and more on these safe spaces to negate the need for a pause menu. For more ‘goodness’ on live service games, why not check out our extensive Division 2 guide hub where you’ll find all the guides, features and

At $70 MSRP, the Switch Pro Controller is one of the most expensive standard first party controllers (barring premium offerings like the Xbox One Elite), but it largely justifies its price tag by being one of this generation’s finest game pads. While we’ve seen a number of interesting takes on the Pro Controller formula for Nintendo’s console, a less expensive, fully wireless option would be very welcome. Enter PowerA’s Enhanced Wireless Controller for Switch. We received the Princess Zelda mode

Wheaton’s debut novel has been getting some great reviews, including a four-star one in the pages of SFX! This action-packed cyber-thriller centres on Emily, an artificial consciousness designed to help humans process trauma. When the sun starts to die, five billion years earlier than expected, Emily finds a potential answer buried deep in the human genome.
