Apex Legends Season 4 is on the way, and it’s bringing a new playable Legend with it.  The new character, named Forge, is described as a former MMA champion whose place in the in-game competition is oddly sponsored by Hammond Robotics.

During the same Reddit AMA that confirmed Half-Life: Alyx will feature some horror elements, at least one fan couldn’t help but point out that it all seemed a bit strange that Valve is not only making a new Half-Life game but actually talking to the community about it.

Google Stadia launched last year without making that big of a splash (and without including quite a few of its promised features), but it sounds like Google is far from ready to give up on its game-streaming platform.

Cyberpunk 2077 will be CD Projekt Red’s first game outside The Witcher universe, and its first foray into science fiction. Based on the Cyberpunk series of tabletop games, it is, as its name suggests, inspired by the pioneers of the cyberpunk subgenre – namely William Gibson and Bruce Sterling.

When you first hear that a massive company like Sony is skipping E3 in a year when it is launching a new console, it’s natural for your first reaction to be one of rampant skepticism. Has the PlayStation team lost its collective mind? Or has E3 really gone to the dogs? It’s all too easy

The Super Nintendo World theme park will seemingly eventually expand to include franchises other than Super Mario.

Nobody is entirely sure why, but it seems that you can no longer download Grand Theft Auto 4 via Steam.  While GTA 4‘s Steam Page still exists, you may notice that it no longer offers the option to actually download the game.

Beloved ’90s sports title Sensible Soccer is getting a (slightly) modern makeover as part of an expansive fan-made mod.

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order director Stig Asmussen recently revealed on the AIAS Game Maker’s podcast that Lucasfilm pushed for Respawn to make a Star Wars game that didn’t focus on Jedi.  “I pitched, ‘Hey what if we do a game about Jedi and Force powers,'” said Asmussen. “They were not super comfortable with that.

Something about superheroes and video games just clicks together perfectly: whether you’re swooping through Gotham as DC’s Dark Knight or swinging through New York as Marvel’s friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, the ability to step into the shoes of our favorite comic book characters – and beat up goons with their signature gadgets – is just pure,

Capcom has revealed more of the changes you can expect in their upcoming remake of Resident Evil 3, including some significant alterations to how the Nemesis works.  As some of you may remember, the original Nemesis in Resident Evil 3 would occasionally pop-up to hunt/terrify the player.
