Hello! We’re going to start the year off with a handful of pieces looking forward to 2022. Sometimes we’ll be looking at trends we’ve spotted or themes that will probably be continuing to define things in games for a while. Sometimes we’ll just be thinking about things we’ve enjoyed and where they could lead. Have a lovely new year all! So, dilemma: the next-gen patch for Cyberpunk 2077 is nearly here - like, really nearly actually here after all this time....
Loop Hero is a pleasant break from the norm, by quite a margin too. Lo-Fi, 8-Bit games like Loop Hero always have a certain level of nostalgia involved even if you haven’t played those types of games before. And while the world moves onto high-end graphics, games like Loop Hero provide a nice boost of some much-needed feel-good factor. However, Loop Hero goes even further to break apart from this norm to form a niche of its own....

MASSIVE SPOILERS FOR AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR AHEAD! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

Well, Marvel seems to have a made a concentrated effort in the past couple of years to rectify that mistake. Beginning with Michael Keaton’s Vulture in Spider-Man: Homecoming and continuing all the way to their latest record-breaking smash hit with Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War, Marvel has been on a villain roll lately....

Meltan, the mysterious Pokémon that we only saw for the first time a few months ago, will soon make its debut in the anime’s TV series. When it comes to TV shows and video games, things tend to go in phases, especially when it comes to those intended for children. We would guess that most, if not all of you reading this, have reminisced about how much better kids’ TV was when you were little....
Thanks to extensive negotiations between the two companies, Marvel Studios and Sony have now finally reached an agreement to complete one more Spider-Man film to mark a trilogy kicked off by 2017’s Spider-Man: Homecoming.

This comes weeks after the initial devastating report that Sony and Marvel Studios had not come to a deal and that Spider-Man wouldn’t appear in the MCU for the foreseeable future....
The last few years haven’t exactly been kind to GameStop. With some major changes in the industry as streaming services begin to take off and the constant threat of online stores with deep discounts, it’s difficult for a brick and mortar video game retailer to stay afloat… Even when it comes to one that is a major nationwide franchise. GameStop isn’t going down without a fight though. Despite another year of major loses and tons of GameStop stores closing, the company is looking to rebrand some of their stores and breath fresh life into the chain....
Valheim on Steam has broken records worldwide and is steadily rising up in popularity. It deserves all of this success because this game has everything that a Viking game lover wants – bosses, building structures, hunting for more resources and even heading out in the Longship. What’s more, you can do all this while playing along with your friends. Even though this game is in early access on PC at the time of writing, many players are curious to know – Is Valheim coming to PS5?...
Developer Turn 10 has announced that Forza Horizon 2 is rapidly approaching ’end of life’ status, which means the racer and all its accompanying DLC will be removed from the Xbox Store next month. Forza Horizon 2 will no longer be available to purchase from September 30, four years to the day since the game was first released on Xbox One and Xbox 360 in the US. Fortunately, the decision won’t affect those of you who already have the game — you’ll still be able to play it as normal....
Cyberpunk 2077, the long-awaited sci-RPG from CD Projekt RED, has a pretty good chance of showing its face at E3 in June, the developer has teased. Well, okay, it hasn’t explicitly stated it’s bringing the game to the Los Angeles games bash, but unless it’s secretly working on The Witcher 4, we can’t really imagine what else its mysterious RPG could be. And yes, that’s all we know: The company is showcasing an RPG at E3....
For many Harry Potter fans, the world of the boy wizard represents a safe space, a place where people stand up against injustice and call out abuses of power. This is why the casting of Johnny Depp, an alleged domestic abuser, as Grindelwald in the Fantastic Beasts film franchise, has upset so many. Rowling’s previous lack of response to the concerns, which first surfaced following Depp’s surprise cameo in the first Fantastic Beasts film, as well as her policy of blocking Twitter users who asked her about it via the social media platform, has been unacceptable to many Harry Potter fans....
PlayStation Studios has announced that Haven Studios is now an official first party studio for the company. Herman Hulst formally welcomed Raymond and her new team to the Blue brand today on the PlayStation Blog. Perhaps expectedly, he revealed the deal had been something on the cards since the announcement of their first game. That was revealed last year as a new, PlayStation exclusive AAA multiplayer IP. Raymond herself gave a statement on the announcement....
Over the course of its 20 year history, RuneScape has seen all sorts of different outfits come and go. The community even has a term for looking stylish in game, “Fashionscape.” Graphical updates over the years have seen some of the old iconic looks fall out of favor, but developer Jagex wants to bring them back. It’s even giving players the opportunity to nominate the retro cosmetics they want back in RuneScape....
Justice League, the gonzo DC flagship book that burst out of Dark Nights: Metal and Justice League: No Justice, is about a year in now, and this week’s first Annual marks an inflection point heading into its next arcs. As nuts as it has been – and make no mistake about it, the Annual alone has Starman, the Green Lantern Corps, Thanagar and the New Gods teaming up – we had to ask writers Scott Snyder and James Tynion III how they were going to top it in year two....
It appears that the K-Pop band BTS, currently one of the most popular bands in the world, has used an audio sample of Twitch streamer Greekgodx in one of its songs without the streamer’s permission. It’s a pretty big allegation for the group, which could lead to a legal battle depending on how both parties choose to proceed. In one of BTS’ new songs, “UGH!,” someone can be heard screaming “let’s go!...
The long-awaited Kingdom Hearts 3: ReMind expansion is finally out for PS4, with the hopes of tying up the loose ends and cliffhangers scattered throughout the base game’s finale. Sora ventures out to reverse time and restore Kairi’s heart from her tragic loss during Kingdom Hearts 3’s ending. Initially announced in June last year, Kingdom Hearts 3: ReMind is the first paid DLC for Kingdom Hearts 3, which is also a first for the series as a whole excluding the extra content found in the “Final Mix” versions of the Kingdom Hearts 1....
We’ll come right out and say it: Xigbar is an S.O.B. His ranged attacks are constant yet spaced out enough that missing a block will often get you stun locked to death even if you have Withstand Combo and Leaf Bracer equipped (which you always should, anyway). Before you rage quit and declare yourself the worst Kingdom Hearts player on the planet, take a look at our handy guide to besting Organization XIII’s resident sharpshooter....
Knockout City has seen a lot of success since its launch back in May, and EA is ready to capitalize on its popularity. Knockout City developers Velan Studios prepared a new 2021 roadmap, laying down their plans to keep the game action-packed and sweaty throughout the rest of the year. For good reason, too. With over five million players during its free trial launch, Knockout City opted to extend its free trial to account for the popularity....
