After weeks of anticipation, BlizzCon 2019 finally kicks off in under an hour and it should be a fascinating show for a variety of reasons. Not only is Blizzard rumored to announce new games such as Overwatch 2 and Diablo 4 today, but the company is also still dealing with controversy surrounding the fallout from the

As the cold nights draw closer and colder, wrapping up warm and snuggling up to your stuffed teddies will become commonplace. However, in Woven, those stuffed teddies might be a bit preoccupied as far as the game is concerned. Today, PR Hound —also behind point-and-click title Nairi: Tower of Shirin— announced that the title will be launching
Nintendo published the Japanese overview trailer for Pokemon Sword and Shield. Other versions of the trailer have yet to be published, but this is Pokemon we’re talking about, a series which didn’t change that much after two decades, so you won’t miss anything even if you don’t understand the language. Plus I’m here to summarize
Nintendo reported its second-quarter operating profits on October 31, giving us the first official numbers on the Nintendo Switch Lite. The second-quarter starts with July and ends with September.

During a third-party sizzle reel during Nintendo’s E3 2019 Direct, it was revealed that SEGA and Creative Assembly’s Alien: Isolation would be coming to Nintendo Switch with the help of Feral Interactive. That being said, not much has been heard about this port since then. In the spirit of Halloween, Feral Interactive and SEGA finally
Nintendo Switch has proven itself to be a massive success after the flop that was the Wii U. While it hasn’t matched the success of the Wii or PS4, it may very well be on its way to doing so. Today, Nintendo released its financial results for the second quarter of this fiscal year, and
Nintendo published on October 31 its second-quarter financial report, revealing many interesting details. We most notably learned that Fire Emblem: Three Houses now sold over 2,29 million copies worldwide. Fire Emblem Awakening, released in 2012, sold over 2.28 million copies by the end of 2018. Fire Emblem Fates, released in 2015, is the current best
Killer Queen Black just released last month and we thought very highly of it in our own review. Now, we’re giving you a chance here at DualShockers to win a copy of the game for yourself. Over the next few days, we’ll be running a giveaway here on DualShockers that will allow you to win a
It feels weird to be talking about Skullgirls. Don’t get me wrong—there are plenty of nice things to say about it. In addition to being an absolute blast to play, it has a vibrant and crisp visual style unlike anything else, an infectious soundtrack, and some of the best character designs I’ve ever seen. Skullgirls
Back in August, Respawn ran a very popular, limited-time Solo mode for their exceptional battle royale game Apex Legends. With the mode’s two-week run being so well-received, it’s no surprise that the team is trying their hand at another in-demand mode. Next week, Apex is adding Duos to the mix for another limited-time run. Check
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
Since Reggie Fils-Aimé retired from Nintendo of America last April, the accolades have been pouring in. He’s been awarded the Walter Day Life Time Achievement Award from the Video Game Hall of Fame, and the Rock even offered him congratulations. It’s easy to see why: his 15 year career at the company was impressive–he oversaw
Koei Tecmo and Gust revealed a new trailer for their upcoming RPG adaptation of Hiro Mashima’s Fairy Tail. The trailer basically recaps the info we’ve learned so far, like how the game will adapt the Grand Magic Games tournament arc and the Tartaros arc, along with some original stories. We also see all the characters
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
10 years ago today, the original Bayonetta was released in Japan by PlatinumGames and SEGA. It became a benchmark release for not only PlatinumGames’ titles but the action genre as a whole.

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.

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
The Japanese government announced on October 29 the various personalities who will be rewarded with the 2019 Order of Culture, along with the Persons of Cultural Merit.

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
For well over three decades, The Legend of Zelda series has sparked our imaginations thanks to its endless sense of adventure and epic stories. Though each game has featured familiar elements retelling the story of the Hero of Time, each game has brought its own unique elements to that story, and perhaps no other game has
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.

In recent years, Zoink Games has put out many intriguing titles recently like Fe, Stick It To The Man, Flipping Death, and Ghost Giant.

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.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild released in March 2017 on the Wii U and Nintendo Switch to critical acclaim. Many critics called it one of the greatest video games of all time with Jose Otero of IGN describing it as “a masterclass in open-world design”. Almost a year and a half later, gamers
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. Series Producer Terada recently slimmed down a lot. He appeared on stream with a
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. Seeing what happened with Super Robot Wars V‘s Switch and Steam ports, the game’s Asian English versions will definitely launch the same day. However, just like Super Robot Wars V
