Lockhart meanwhile is the more affordable iteration of the new hardware. The rumours follow reports that the new Xbox family would be codenamed Scarlet, and would ship in two variations: a regular telly box and a cloud-based version....

Along with this approval, CADE did touch on the more high-profile elements of this proposed acquisition, including Activision’s Call of Duty franchise - a franchise which has recently felt like it’s been caught up in a custody battle between Xbox and PlayStation....

Speaking to CVG, Infinity Ward community manager Robert Bowling has said that despite competition from Bad Company 2, and the upcoming Medal of Honor and new Call of Duty, he doesn’t believe Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 will lose its grip at the top of the online play charts. “I certainly don’t see any signs of it,” said Bowling when asked if Modern Warfare 2 could lose its online dominance....

Believe it or not, Young Xehanort is one of the easiest data battles in Limit Cut, the new super boss mode in Kingdom Hearts III Re:Mind. His portal is the first you encounter on the left side of the room and likely the first challenge players will try. Even though he’s one of the easier fights, players who have just completed Kingdom Hearts 3 on either Normal or Proud difficulty may be in for a bit of shock at just how difficult these Limit Cut fights are....

When Masahiro Sakurai first drew a couple of stumpy arms, big feet and blushing cheeks on a little pink blob, he was answering a call within Nintendo to make a game for everyone; a game, like the adorable Kirby himself, with no hard edges, where those who found Mario a mite too masochistic might find refuge. Ever since then Kirby has presented a refreshingly casual brand of adventure, serving breezy platformers where there’s never even the threat of falling off a ledge; you can just puff yourself up with air and float away....

The arena dodge ball game Knockout City will be free to play once Season 6 goes live later this spring. To celebrate, developer Velan Studios is knocking out Electronic Arts as the game’s publisher. Okay, not really. But the studio is set to soon begin self-publishing the game, which should happen not long after the launch of Season 6. “From the day we founded our studio, we’ve worked to deliver revolutionary new game experiences to you, our amazing community of players,” Velan wrote in an update....

League of Legends will soon launch a brand new Star Guardian event, and today Riot Games released a new animated trailer. The event starts on July 14 promising “a star-studded music collab, new stellar skins, Nilah’s epic arrival, out-of-this-world event experiences, and more.” If you’re wondering about Nilah, she’s a new character revealed back in June.

A trailer has been released for Vampyr, the new game from Life is Strange developer DONTNOD Entertainment, that confirms it’s coming to PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 in November 2017. A new trailer from publisher Focus Home Interactive has just a little of what we can expect from the forthcoming action-RPG where you play as a vampire doctor named Jonathan Reid. Accompanied by Ida Maria’s scrawling vocals on Maria, this flyby of 1918 London shows people biting others in the neck, as blood-sucking vampires are wont to do....

Nintendo didn’t kill Luigi last week after all, but it appears his ‘death’ may have actually hinted at something a little bigger. Specifically, fans reckon they’ve uncovered a currently unannounced Super Smash Bros. Ultimate game mode called Spirits. Cast your minds back to the Nintendo Direct event. Yes, Luigi got clobbered by the Grim Reaper, but we were also shown Ultimate’s main menu with one of the game modes blurred out....

With Magic: The Gathering Arena, Wizards of the Coast has undoubtedly taken the digital MTG experience to an entirely new level. Not only has MTGA made drafting and playing Standard in Magic: The Gathering more accessible than ever, it has also brought an exciting new visual element to the game. However, one area where Magic Arena falters is that it is only available for PC, but fortunately for those looking to play Magic: The Gathering Arena on Android devices, there is a workaround to this problem....

This Manifest review contains spoilers. Manifest Season 2 Episode 11 On the surface, this week’s Manifest episode appears to be all about mending relationships. Zeke reconciles with his dad, Michaela and Jared put their past behind them, and Ben renews his trust in the callings. Like the phoenix from TJ’s vision, their faith rises from the ashes of doubt and mistrust, and from that thematic standpoint, “Unaccompanied Minors” is successful. The counterpoint to that theme, however, lies in the increasing dread surrounding the three shadows and Saanvi’s loss of hospital privileges, and we’re no closer to a death date solution or a response to the Major’s scrutiny than we were before....

The surprisingly excellent Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle may be getting more paid DLC early next year, but rather than being contented with that developer Ubisoft has today announced its intention to bring local versus multiplayer to the game in a free bonus update tomorrow. The mode will allow for players to either share a pair of JoyCon controllers or use two Pro Controllers to take each other on on the battlefields, choosing three characters from a pool of eight to make up their squads, each with their own preset loadouts....

Marvel’s Avengers is closing in on its September 4, 2020 launch date.
