In the days since Death Stranding has released, we’ve started to get a better picture of how the game has been selling in various regions around the world.

Prior to the launch of the PS5 and Xbox Scarlett next year, it seems as though Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption developer Rockstar Games is looking to beef up its current staff.

I played a fair amount of Death Stranding this weekend. I delivered a whole lot of packages, I threw some poop grenades at some oil-whale-things, and I maxed out my social link with Geoff Keighley.

It has been almost a year since Dragon Age 4 was formally announced at The Game Awards 2018. Over that span of time, BioWare hasn’t revealed anything worthwhile about the highly-anticipated game in the franchise, but it seems like that could be changing next month.

This BlizzCon has certainly been an interesting one for Blizzard. In the middle of a year filled with backlash and protests, the company revealed two brand new games: Diablo 4 and Overwatch 2.

In light of the success of Apex Legends this year, which has now surpassed 70 million players, some have started to question whether or not EA and Respawn would continue to make another proper Titanfall game or if Apex would simply be the main title in this universe moving forward. According to EA, while there is nothing
After surpassing 100 million PS4 units sold just a few months back, Sony today announced that the PS4 has now passed yet another milestone with its latest sales total.

In August, Sony announced they had acquired Insomniac, the studio behind titles like Spider-Man and Ratchet and Clank.

Following the release of Anthem earlier this year from BioWare, the studio’s next game will likely be that of Dragon Age 4. While BioWare may have formally revealed the title last year at The Game Awards 2018 though, it sounds like we shouldn’t expect to get our hands on it any time soon. During EA’s recent financial
EA’s financial results and prepared remarks regarding Q2 of the fiscal year have given us a fairly solid idea of what we can expect from them going forward. The publisher is doubling down on its successful sports titles and live services, though more remasters and even some new IP are also planned. In those prepared
Yesterday, during EA’s prepared remarks for investors following the company’s release of its quarterly financial results, we learned quite a bit about what we can expect from their lineup next year.

While the PS4 is still going strong, Sony definitely is looking at what comes next.

For all of the months of build-up, here we are: the sober day after E3 2019 and in full-on conference withdrawal.

If there is one thing to look forward to in the gaming year, it’s certainly E3, and E3 2019 was (almost) no different). While this year’s E3 felt like a bit of a different show with the absence of major players like Sony, what was shown at E3 2019 was still worth getting excited about.
I’ve been tuning into E3 for almost a decade, and it’s by far one of my favorite times of the year. Each year, gamers from all over the world either attend E3 or view live from home via Twitch, Twitter, YouTube, or other streaming platforms. I’m a gamer who likes to watch every conference, even
A few weeks back, Kotaku’s Jason Schreier blew everyone’s minds when he reported that Treyarch had taken over as the developer for 2020’s Call of Duty title, replacing Sledgehammer Games.
