Steph first broke the news viaTwitter, andIGNfollowed up as part of an on-going exclusive reveal series. IGN is where it was confirmed that the McMahons are playable rather than just some sort of set dressing for one of the game’s modes....

Cuts off at 1.12 patch It has been roughly half a year sinceBlizzard announcedit would be releasing a vanilla version ofWorld of Warcraft. Dubbed “Classic,” we only really knew that it was happening and not which version of the game it would be based on. Would this contain any of the expansions, or would it be the very first version of the game that launched back in 2004? Blizzard has finally set the record straight, stating that the classic iteration will be based on the final patch beforeBurning Crusade....

Which explains why we’ve basically only seen Midgar Just in case you were somehow holding out hope that theFinal Fantasy VII Remakewasn’t going to be episodic anymore, Square Enix has dashed your hopes again. Despite the fact that it was announced as episodic after its reveal, and there’s been a bunch of shuffling around as personnel, some folks thought that the game would somehow now be released as one complete work....

With creation tools Pac-Manturns 40 this year! Feel old yet?! While some of us weren’t born when the Pac craze began, alas, the little mascot that could grew to gargantuan levels of fame, becoming one of the most recognizable characters in the entire world. He’s graced pretty much every platform known to man from the arcade to Switch, and now he can add “Twitch” to that equation. Yep, Amazon Games and Bandai Namco have partnered together to bring usPac-Man Live Studio, which will run out of Twitch itself starting “this June....

Another MMO, you say? Gosh, break out the party hats. Seriously though, I actually give a damn about NCsoft releases, and that probably has a great deal to do with the character creation system (otherwise known as pure crack cocaine for the comic book nerd) inCity of Heroes. Apparently not afraid to talk big, NC claimsAionto be “the most visually stunning MMORPG ever made.” That’s lovely, guys, but what makes it different from every other online grind out there?...

Explore it next year Obsidian Entertainment, the studio behind hit games likeThe Outer Worlds,Pentiment, andSouth Park: The Stick of Truthis taking players to the Living Lands next year inAvowed. During today’s Xbox Games Showcase, a new trailer for the game debuted, and it actually managed to pull me in. I’m not the biggest first-person RPG fan, but something about this looks like a hoot. As previously revealed,Avowedwill take place in the same universe as thePillars of Eternityseries....

There’s a lot to be impressed about withAvowed, from its vividly hued fungal world to its ever-changing combat system. For me, it has to be the tarp physics, a simple yet effective mechanic that instills more realism in this dark fantasy world. I’ve gone through my fair share of jumping on tarps in video games, and without fail, it’s usually gone through the character as if they have somehow turned into a ghost....

Considered the best offensive support inWuthering Waves, Mortefi is capable of massively buffing the Heavy Attacks of his companions with his Outro Skill. He also shines through his ability to deal a fair amount of coordinated damage after triggering Burning Rhapsody. True to that, building him is a must for all looking to both awaken his true potential and that of some of the game’s best damage dealers. Here’s the best Mortefi build inWuthering Waves....

Unlimited barricades?! With the launch ofDestiny 2: Lightfallcame a new Darkness subclass, Strand. Whilst the initial fan reception to Strand was pretty underwhelming, as time has gone on the more dedicated players have had time to dig deep into the new subclass and come up with some powerful new builds. We’ve already coveredWarlocksandHunters, with armies of Threadlings and infinite enemy suspension all possible. This time we’re going to take a look at the space shooter’s brutes, the Titans....

2K Boston, the team responsible forBioShock, is looking for a lead designer to work on a first-person-shooter multiplayer mode. With 2K Marin working onBioShock 2, it looks like the team has something more original up its sleeve. “You must be familiar with the current state of the art in multiplayer game design across a wide range of genres on both PC and console,”the job listing specifies. “You must be capable of analyzing and critiquing game designs and using that analysis to inform your own design sensibilities....

And consoles later We haven’t heard a whole lot out of 3D Realms and Interceptor Entertainment in regards toBombshell, but now we know when it’s expected to drop — June 12, 2025. That’s what the date is for PC at least, as the console iterations will arrive later on in the year, with PS4 and Xbox One versions slated. It’ll go for $34.99 with a “digital deluxe” edition (digital soundtrack and artbook, world map overviews, beta access to the “FPS prequel”) for $39....
