Shaun Escayg, creative director on Marvel’s Avengers at Crystal Dynamics, has returned to the good graces of Naughty Dog. Previously known for his work on Uncharted: Lost Legacy and other works, he will now be helping out the acclaimed studio on new projects moving forward. Firstly, news of a PS5 remake of The Last of Us has been heavily rumoured in recent weeks - despite our opinion of it being too soon - which one pocket of Naughty Dog is reportedly developing....

BioWare reveals concept art for the Kett, a brand new alien species that players will encounter throughout the course of Mass Effect: Andromeda’s story. With Mass Effect: Andromeda taking the franchise to a brand new galaxy, the possibilities are endless. Fans are excited to see what new planets they can explore, what new threats they will encounter, and what new alien species they can interact with in the new game. As it stands, BioWare has mostly been keeping its cards close to its chest, just recently revealing a new alien race called the Kett....

Much has been made about Mass Effect: Andromeda’s decision to depart from the Commander Shepard narrative, but in the end, the only thing that will matter for BioWare is whether or not gamers identify as strongly with the Ryder twins as they did with the original trilogy’s protagonist. Having the twins resemble the players controlling them is a strong start, however, and Mass Effect: Andromeda lead designer Ian Frazier confirmed late yesterday that fans would be able to customize both twins while they play....

Throughout the Mass Effect series, Shepard constantly gets involved in issues that have nothing to do with him. However, in most cases, the hero’s intrusion can help the situation. For instance, in Mass Effect 2’s Crime in Progress Assignment, the hero is tasked with finding out what happened to a missing credit chit. The loser of said chit is a Volus who accuses a Quarian of stealing it, but she denies those claims....

The Mass Effect trilogy was universally acclaimed for its story, gameplay, character development, and vastly creative universe, entering and never leaving the hearts of many. It also was one of the first major franchise to implement the save file transfer feature, so players could fully immerse themselves in the journey of Commander Shepard. But BioWare’s hit trilogy that released two console generations ago isn’t without its faults. While some criticisms only come because the series is now somewhat dated, there are other glaring issues in the franchise that have the potential to be resolved with the remastered trilogy, Mass Effect: Legendary Edition....

Back in 2015, Hideo Kojima’s final effort on the Metal Gear Solid franchise finally released to eager fans. Once again, the Metal Gear Solid franchise had reinvented itself as one of the most systemically impressive open world military action games of all time. Completing story missions, taking down whole enemy outposts, breaking down the enemies through stealth and sabotage, Metal Gear Solid 5’s gameplay loop still makes it one of the best games to play in the whole franchise....

Brazilian CS:GO team MIBR has been fined $10,000 by Flashpoint for a “breach of competitive integrity” that took place earlier in Flashpoint’s second season. The fine comes after the team was discovered to have been playing the tournament’s official broadcast on a TV in full view of the players while they were competing in a match. The offense took place during MIBR’s upper bracket quarter-final match against European side OG, which the Brazilian squad won with a 2-1 scoreline....

In the past few years, eSports have gone from strength to strength. Giving gamers a chance to compete against one another for prizes, fame and even school scholarships, the most popular eSports tournaments have sold out arenas and have even been broadcast on ESPN. The prizes in particular are why there’s such a massive draw for eSports. Not only are they recognized as a valid career (that foreign players can now acquire Visas for) but it lets people live out their dreams of ‘making money from playing games’, the $2 million prize pot of Dota 2’s The International tournament being a prime example....

Over the last few years major strides have been made by publishers and developers to help curb players away from troll-like or aggressive behavior. In some cases it’s a simple marker that recognizes the player as unsavory, while other companies have taken things a step further by matching the trolls with each other. But what about those 90% of gamers who are actually upstanding citizens? What about the gamers who type “GG” at the end of the match instead of insulting an opponent’s mother or harassing them with epithet-filled voice messages?...

Destiny 2 has managed to keep players entertained through many expansions and updates that have largely improved the title. While Destiny 2 continues to add features, it seems that a fan has undertaken an impressive task of recreating the game in Minecraft. Understandably, work on this iteration of the game has taken a lot of time and the screenshots showcase the considerable likeness that the player has achieved. Minecraft has enabled players to create incredible locations since its release eleven years ago....

Game Rant recently sat down with half of the development team of Minit Fun Racer, a charity fundraising game set in the same universe as 2018 indie title Minit. JW and Kitty, as they introduced themselves, were excited to talk about how they planned and created the arcadey racer, and where the money raised would go. However, they also talked about how fun it was to get the old crew back together to make the game during downtime and discussed the ins and outs of making such deceptively simple games....

Remember way back during E3 2010, when Sony was unveiling an interesting piece of hardware that looked and acted suspiciously like a super-precise Wii-mote? While certainly not as popular as Kinect, the PlayStation Move has made its mark on the industry since that fateful Sony Keynote: albeit more of a gingerly wade into the pool instead of a splash. During that keynote, Sony showed a title that exemplified everything the Move would be, Sorcery....

MLB The Show 21 is now available for preload on Xbox Series X. It will take up 72GB on your hard drive, which could be a strikeout for some. The Xbox One edition only takes up 45GB. You’ll need to go to the “Coming Soon” section on Xbox Game Pass to proceed with the preload, but you can also use the Xbox app to start the download too, according to a few members on ResetEra....

Modiphius Entertainment has just launched a new companion app for their tabletop game Fallout: Wasteland Warfare. The app is currently in beta and is available on iOS and Android. The original Fallout game hit shelves in October 1997 and was set in post-apocalyptic 2161, in Southern California. A year later it received its first sequel, Fallout 2, but it would then be another 10 years before the third game in the series, Fallout 3, would grace our shores....

Following her performances in Knives Out and the newest Halloween movie, Jamie-Lee Curtis is in talks to star in the upcoming Borderlands movie from Lionsgate. This newest reveal comes on the heels of comedic actor Kevin Hart starring in the movie as the Vault Hunter, Roland. According to a report from Collider, Jaimie Lee Curtis has been tapped to appear in the Borderlands movie as Dr. Patricia Tannis, a non-playable character who makes an appearance in several Borderlands games, including the recently released Borderlands 3....

One of the most talked about titles of 2013, not to mention a surefire Game of the Year contender, BioShock Infinite offered a solid mix of intriguing story and characters paired with enjoyable shooter gameplay (read our BioShock Infinite review). The critical acclaim and overwhelmingly positive response from gamers set the bar extremely high for Irrational Games as they prepared to make good on promised season pass DLC add ons - set to be released in three separate installments....

Kevin Hart is looking to make a jump into the world of drama with his next project. Pairing up with Wesley Snipes, the comedian and the vampire will star as brothers in Netflix’s True Story, which will air as a limited series. Eric Newman, showrunner and creator of the Narcos franchise, is set to write and executive produce the upcoming show. Hart will star as Kid, a world-famous comedian returning to his hometown of Philadelphia for a gig, only to run into more than he expected when a reunion with his errant brother (Snipes) threatens his entire future....

Pirates are always in style. That’s why Sea of Thieves is so successful and why everyone seems to be making a pirate game these days. So how will King of Seas set itself apart in a metaphorical ocean of pirate games? For starters, King of Seas is more of an action RPG version of a pirate game. It’s less about leading the life of an individual pirate and more about leading the life of your ship....

One of the most beloved characters in Kingdom Hearts is Roxas. He was officially introduced in Kingdom Hearts II, though he had been teased before then. Fans were very confused as to who he was when they first played as him, thinking that they would continue their adventure with Sora like they did in the two games prior, only to find a new character whose story seemed to have nothing to do with the plot they knew....
