In a year one might argue is huge for video games, 2018 seemed to have quite a few surprises and game trailer reveals. From E3 bringing us the likes of The Elder Scrolls VI, Cyberpunk 2077, Beyond Good & Evil 2, Ghost of Tsushima, The Last of Us Part 2, and much much more –

Earlier today, Treyarch began teasing that something new would be coming to Call of Duty: Black Ops 4’s Blackout mode with a new update that stopped zombies from spawning in the world. Now, the developer has spilled the beans about what else the update does and it’s not looking good for the Level 3 armor. According to
Developer Matt Thorson announced that Celeste has sold over 500,000 copies in 2018, thanking the players and mentioning that work is being done on, “some farewell Celeste levels,” that are, “very hard.” This is the first major milestone announced in terms of sales, as it launched in January of this year. The platformer was renown
If you work at any company for a lengthy period of time, a lot of times employers will give out certain gifts to commemorate a work anniversary. When I was younger, I remember that my dad used to come home sometimes with odd little things like a plaque or even a wristwatch that his employer
Every time the black bars letterboxed the screen during Red Dead Redemption 2, I knew that the “video game” portion of this experience was on hold. I couldn’t help but feel frustrated that Rockstar (and the game’s writers) were plopping a movie in front of me instead. It is relatively obvious that Rockstar’s recent games
Gears for Breakfast have announced that their title A Hat in Time has reached the 1 million copies sold milestone this morning. The “cute-as-heck” 3D platformer released on PC and Mac in October of 2017 and came to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One a little later on December 6, 2017. A Hat in Time is
Alongside the arrival of update 1.05 a week ago in Red Dead Redemption 2, Rockstar Games announced that those who have played the Red Dead Online beta between launch and December 20 would soon be receiving a few goodies.

As 2018 comes to a close, DualShockers and our staff are reflecting on this year’s batch of games and what were their personal highlights within the last year.

If you’re a fan of both Blackout in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 then things might be getting a little bit interesting for you in the upcoming days. Today, Treyarch began teasing…well, we don’t really know what, but it has something to do with the game’s battle royale mode and more specifically, the undead that spawn
Thunder Lotus, the developers behind Jotun, released Sundered for PC and PS4 last July. While DualShockers loved this Metroidvania with procedurally generated environments, it flew somewhat under the radar. Today, Thunder Lotus has brought the game into the limelight once more today with the release of Sundered: Eldritch Edition for Nintendo Switch and Xbox One
As it has now become custom every Friday, the Japanese wing of Capcom has once again released a new slate of mini-trailers today for next month’s release of Resident Evil 2. Much like last week’s slate of video’s that mainly focused on the Birkin family, today’s new series all fall in line with a central theme
Epic Games’ Battle Royale shooter Fortnite entered Season Seven the other week and brought with it a huge clump of snow and ice with a bad-ass Santa looking bloke.

Square Enix published today three new Japanese commercials for Kingdom Hearts III. All three commercials are around 20 seconds long and focus on a different aspect of the game.

Crackdown 3 is Microsoft’s next major first-party release in the early portion of 2019, but despite releasing in a little under two months, we still haven’t seen much gameplay footage of the title. Well luckily, that today has finally changed. Courtesy of IGN, a new slate of gameplay footage for Crackdown 3 was today released and it
During EA’s recent earnings call back in October, the publisher teased that developer Respawn Entertainment had something else planned for 2019 other than just that of the forthcoming Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. This led many, including myself, to believe that that studio was almost surely also working the next installment in Respawn’s shooter franchise Titanfall. Well,
As 2018 comes to a close, DualShockers and our staff are reflecting on this year’s batch of games and what were their personal highlights within the last year. Unlike the official Game of the Year 2018 awards for DualShockers, there are little-to-no-rules on our individual Top 10 posts. For instance, any game — not just
As you may recall, Ubisoft teased a For Honor announcement yesterday that was related to the popular Assassin’s Creed series. Today, Ubisoft Montreal pulled back the curtain to reveal that For Honor and Assassin’s Creed will, in fact, be crossing over in a new event. Aptly titled For the Creed, this event runs from today
The hit animated short series Sonic Mania Adventures has a new Holiday Special episode. Sega has released the episode on YouTube today. You may watch the cute short below.

The relationship between Thunder Lotus goes back to the studio’s first game, Jotun, which actually released on Wii U before any other console.

Scarecrow Studios, who is a Barcelona-based indie developer, has unveiled a very special season’s greeting message for all of their excited fans as they count down the months until its release in mid-2019. The point and click adventure looks really pleasing to the eye as well as an inviting and charming story about the adventures
Usually you’ll find in my reviews that if a game has solid gameplay mechanics, then I’ll more than likely be a fan of it. While there are far more factors that make up a quality gaming experience other than the gameplay alone, it’s often one the biggest ones when it comes to my own personal
Last week, when Treyarch revealed that custom games would be coming to Blackout, the developer also confirmed that camos and variants would finally be available to use in the battle royale mode after David Vonderhaar hinted at it a while back. Now, a day after Tuesday’s major content update, players can now do just that

Today, the official
I consider 2018 to be one of the best years for gaming in recent memory, even when compared to the lofty heights of 2017. No matter what genre you are a fan of, there was likely a great game for you to enjoy. I played a ton of games this year, both for review and
Having keyboard and mouse support on the Xbox One is strange, especially for a PC player. We’ve all seen the competitive edge that the characters, punctuation, and digits can give players when competing against controllers in cross-play games like Fortnite. It shouldn’t be a surprise though that Xbox is now supporting Keyboard and Mouse since you
This Friday, the Magnate of the Gong update for Sundered will be releasing for PC and PS4 alongside Sundered: Eldritch Edition for Nintendo Switch and Xbox One.
