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. In forward-looking statements for the Fiscal Year 2021, which begins on April 1, 2020, EA promised to not only release new IP, but more
Today’s news out of EA Sports is both disappointing and completely expected. The studio canceled NBA Live 20, marking the fourth time this has happened in the last decade. As reported by Polygon, EA chief executive Andrew Wilson told investors that the team was going to move development to next-gen consoles and forgo a 2019
Today, EA released its financial results for Q2 of Fiscal Year 2020 today, and it seems that the publisher is doing quite well. The company’s net bookings are up 8% year over year and the number of unique players in FIFA and Madden’s Ultimate Team modes, as well as The Sims 4, have seen notable
Koei Tecmo and Gust revealed a new trailer for their upcoming RPG adaptation of Hiro Mashima’s Fairy Tail.

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is out in just a few weeks and today, Electronic Arts and Respawn Entertainment have released what will likely be the game’s final trailer ahead of launch. The launch trailer for Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is live now and it gives us one final look of what we should expect
As I’ve stated many times before, Disney is very near and dear to my heart. I’ll basically consume anything made by them and probably defend them a bit more than I should when it comes to their corporate decisions. That being said, it came as a surprise to some of my colleagues that I never
It’s a bit hard to not constantly compare a studio’s second outing to their big debut—it might even be unfair to even do so. But Night School Studio’s Afterparty is a clear attempt of an evolution of the style they established in their 2016 game Oxenfree, a game that I admire quite a lot. It
While the PS4 is still going strong, Sony definitely is looking at what comes next. Earlier this month, they pulled back the curtain on PlayStation 5 further, confirming its name as well as the fact that it will release during Holiday 2020 alongside Microsoft’s Project Scarlett and the Intellivision Amico. Today, it was noticed that
The Outer Worlds, a single-player first-person sci-fi RPG from Obsidian Entertainment and Private Division, only launched October 25 on PS4, Xbox One, and PC and in that short space of time, the game is scoring very favorably with players around the world. Sitting at a healthy score of 86 for PS4 on Metacritic, it’s obvious
My first memories of the Super Monkey Ball franchise were that of wonder and excitement. With an interesting take on one of my favorite genres, platformers, it was a colorful and lively series that would undoubtedly be recalled in the future with nothing short of fondness. My second memory of the Super Monkey Ball franchise

Bandai Namco also released another trailer summarizing the game flow in Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, explaining the various game systems.
When publisher Microids and developer Pendulo Studios announced that they were developing a Blacksad adaptation back in 2017, I was pretty excited. Blacksad is a great graphic novel that follows a hard-boiled noir detective who happens to be an anthropomorphic cat. In the early videos that focused on story and character creation, the game looked
In a Steam letter posted earlier today, Mikael Nermark CEO of Starbreeze Studios has announced a few changes coming to PAYDAY 2, including continuing with the development of the title and introducing both paid and free updates. Firstly, I want to focus on the introduction of the new PAYDAY 2: Legacy Collection which was mentioned in the letter.
In a blog post in 2016, Swedish developer Simogo talked about “Project Night Road,” which began production after launching the Wii U version of Year Walk. After working on several games for PC, Mac and iOS, the team wanted to do something bigger, faster and more direct. Several years later, we have Sayonara Wild Hearts,
In recent years, Zoink Games has put out many intriguing titles recently like Fe, Stick It To The Man, Flipping Death, and Ghost Giant. Following that success, Zoink Games’ former Concept Artist Sina Rahm, Game Designer Emil Nilsson, 3D and Technical Artist Christian Kähkönen, and Programmer Rasmus Jarl all left in 2018 to form a
BlizzCon 2019 is set to kick off next Friday on November 1 and this year’s convention is going to be interesting for a variety of reasons. Not only is the event taking place in such close proximity to Blizzard’s recent controversy involving the Hearthstone pro player Blitzchung and his banning from the esport for the
Batman: Arkham Asylum is stellar, Arkham Origins is criminally underrated, and Arkham Knight is pretty darn good in its own right. Of all of Batman’s greatest games over the past decade though, none of them top Batman: Arkham City, which as of today turns 8 years old. On this day in 2011, Batman: Arkham City launched on PS3 and Xbox
In a brand new patch notes post from the Final Fantasy XIV official website, we learn more about the upcoming post-Shadowbringers expansion update.

This update features new
Bandai Namco held this month’s Super Robot Wars series stream on October 3. We’re in the blank period of the year when it comes to SRW, so these monthly streams have stopped being monthly, and the last one happened in August.

Bandai Namco announced in this week’s Famitsu magazine that Super Robot Wars X on Switch and PC will launch on January 10, 2020, in Japan.

Today marks the launch of Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age – Definitive Edition for Nintendo Switch, adding to an already awesome month of releases for Nintendo’s hybrid console.
