Video Games offer their players boundless escapism, and while that’s sometimes in the form of a really compelling linear story, there’s a special place in our hearts for a big open world you can easily get lost in. To that end, we’ve put together a list of our favorite open worlds in gaming. It’s worth noting that this isn’t a list of IGN’s Best Open-World Games™, but rather our favorite worlds in and of themselves - whether they’re made up of miles of untamed wilderness, countless blocks of urban sprawl or fall somewhere in-between, these are the top 10 video game open worlds. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/07/09/the-best-open-worlds-of-all-time"] You can check out the video above, click through the gallery below or scroll down the page for the full list.

A sealed copy of Super Mario Bros. for the NES just sold for $114,000 USD, which is now the world record for the sale of a single game. Kotaku's Chris Kohler Tweeted out the news for this Super Mario Bros. copy that was sold on Heritage Auctions, which you can see below. This copy of Super Mario Bros., which was released in 1985 as a launch title for the NES, features a carboard hangtab, which "were originally used on the US test market copies of black box games, back before plastic was used to seal each game." These carboard hangtabs were only in production for a few months, a short time for a game that has gone on to sell over 40 million copies since its release. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/01/30/top-10-console-launch-games-ever"] In 2019, another copy of Super Mario Bros. sold for $100,150 USD, making it the world-record holder until this new sale, which is actually a newer printing than the previous one. We did a deep-dive into why t

Of all the ‘90s games to revive, Shadow Warrior was a pretty bizarre choice. It was a cult classic at best – fun, but more or less a Duke Nukem 3D clone but with culturally insensitive jokes. But developer Flying Wild Hog pulled it off, as the 2013 return and 2016 sequel both showed that first-person shooters could still be over-the-top fun and funny at the same time – without any inappropriate dialogue. For the new Lo Wang’s third go-around in Shadow Warrior 3, the open world and the co-op are gone, with the focus instead on Wang himself. “When we were reviving the IP, there were certain ingredients that we needed in order to make it faithful to the original,” lead gameplay designer Pawel Kowalewski told me. “[But now], for Shadow Warrior 3, we wanted to go back to our roots and make a game that’s focused on a linear single player campaign that’s filled with over-the-top action from the opening credits.” That was clearly on display in the 17-minute gameplay demo I saw.

Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout will arrive for PS4 and PC on August 4. Announced at Devolver Direct, we got another look at the neon-hued 60-player minigame battler, and saw how big its selection of un lockable costumes and wild events would be. Pre-order the game on Steam, and you'll also get an exclusive Gordon Freeman Half-Life outfit (complete with the now  weirdly fashionable headcrab hat ).

Devolver Digital has released Devolverland Expo, a miniature first-person game that includes trailers for games shown off in today's Devolver Direct broadcast. Out now for free on Steam, Devolverland Expo takes you through a ruined convention hall filled with aggressive robots, and offers missions, puzzles and items to find along the way. Ultimately, your goal is to grab Devolver swag from game booths - while watching trailers for upcoming Devolver games along the way. The trailer also looks as though it's covered in Steam codes - it might be worth freeze-framing and grabbing one of those if you can.

If players wish to change their gender in World of Warcraft, they would have to purchase the $15 USD Appearance Change from the Blizzard store. With World of Warcraft: Shadowlands, Blizzard will be dropping this fee entirely. Executive producer John Hight spoke to Eurogamer and explained the decision and how players will now be able to change their gender at a barber shop for free in Shadowlands. "A long time ago, we had the ability for players to go in - it was actually a paid service - and change their character. Much of that is now in the barber shop in the game," Hight said. "And as we were adding things up in Shadowlands, we realised, 'Gosh the only way you can change your gender in World of Warcraft is to go through this paid service.' And we felt like that's not the right message." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/07/08/world-of-warcraft-shadowlands-developer-update"] "Unfortunately we can't fix that right now but

EA has announced that EA Sports UFC 4 will be released on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on August 14, 2020, and Israel Adesanya and Jorge Masvidal will be the global cover stars. In EA Sports UFC 4, players will be able to go from an unknown amateur to a UFC superstar in the new career mode, experience "the origins of combat sports in two all-new environments," and battle others in new Blitz Battles and Online World Championships. UFC 4 promises more authentic fights with "fluid clinch-to-strike combinations that offer more responsive stand-up gameplay, and overhauled takedown and ground mechanics to deliver more control in those key phases of the fight."

Following the delay of Crysis Remastered's release date and trailer premiere due to mixed reactions to leaked footage, Crytek has announced that Crysis Remastered for Switch will still be released on July 23, 2020. The news was revealed on Twitter by the official Crysis account which said "Dear fans, you may have seen our last update about the Crysis Remastered release, and we have good news for you. We can confirm that Crysis will still  be coming to Nintendo Switch on July 23rd!" There is still no word on the release date for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, or PC.

Destroy All Humans will release July 28 for PS4, Xbox One, Stadia, and PC. A remake of the 2005 original, this new edition will put you in the shoes of an alien named Crypto-137 as you wreak havoc on puny Earthlings during an invasion set in the 1950s. Your goals are to harvest human DNA, destroy the US government, and generally cause as much destruction as possible. But you don't have to wait to secure a copy for yourself. And in fact, if you want one of the decidedly awesome-looking special editions, you should probably lock in your preorder now (you can always cancel it later if you change your mind).

New World, Amazon's upcoming MMO, has been delayed from its August 25, 2020, release date to Spring 2021. New World's studio director Rich Lawrence wrote a letter to the New World community saying that "we don't make the decision lightly, and we have urgency about getting the game to you as quickly as possible at the best quality -- with some additions that will make the experience even better." This delay will also move the final Beta test to Spring 2021. However, those who have either participated in the Alpha, signed up for the Beta, and/or pre-ordered New World will get a chance to play "the full game of New World - in its current state, for a limited period of time starting on August 25th." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/06/15/new-world-brings-unique-new-elements-to-mmos"] This decision, according to Lawrence, was made following feedback over the last several months from New World's Alpha audience and the team wants t

Over the July 4th weekend, Destiny 2 had a massive number of active players in its PVP modes, specifically Iron Banner. Even on the last day of the event, 15% of everybody playing were in Iron Banner, and on July 1st, 728k of the total 1.18 million players were enjoying PVP.  That's twice the amount of people playing Strikes, Nightfall, Raids, or Gambit. For comparison, if we look back at July of 2019, the PVP population was 289k, less than half of what it is today. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=destiny-2-season-of-arrivals&captions=true"] What’s spurred this drastic increase in PVP participation? That’s not clear. A recent change on the PVP front is the removal of skill-based matchmaking on June 10th and, while the Reddit community claimed this was a huge success bringing in a “record” number of players, the real numbers (source: Warmind.io ) show that, while the unique player count increased ~6.9% during the most recen

Wonder Woman 1984 will see the return of Gal Gadot's super-heroine, and joining her will be Kristen Wiig as Barbara Ann Minerva, aka Cheetah, one of Wonder Woman's oldest and most nefarious foes. As of now, it remains unclear exactly how Wiig's character will become Cheetah in the film, or even if she will be the main villain in the film, given that  Pedro Pascal is also co-starring as DC Comics bad guy Maxwell Lord . Now that we've gotten our first look at Wiig in her full Cheetah costume , here's everything you need to know about Cheetah and the various women who have held that title in DC's comics.

Since Marvel Games reorganized several years ago, it’s been on a mission to pair the right developers with the right Marvel properties. And from Insomniac’s Marvel’s Spider-Man to Team Ninja’s Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 to Camouflaj’s Marvel’s Iron Man and more, that track record has proven largely successful. Marvel is hoping to continue that trend with Marvel’s Avengers and Tomb Raider developer Crystal Dynamics, an ambitious third-person action-adventure featuring both a single-player campaign and an expanding live-service multiplayer suite incorporating a growing roster of Marvel heroes. It’s no small undertaking, especially as Marvel’s Avengers will now bridge the cross-generational gap with PS5 and Xbox Series X versions on the way in addition to its PS4 and Xbox One launches in September. But in speaking with Crystal’s Shaun Escayg and Marvel Games’ Bill Rosemann, it’s clear that that ambition stems from both a shared love of the source material, an eagerness to tell a fresh, mo

Phil Spencer has played down the idea that Xbox Series X games will be held back from their full potential by having to be playable on Xbox One , pointing to the success of PC games at working across wide ranges of hardware power as evidence. Speaking to GamesIndustry , the Xbox boss called the idea of games being held back "a meme that gets created by people who are too caught up in device competition." Instead, Spencer points to the PC market, where games that are regularly touted as the most advanced versions across all platforms can also be played on lower-powered hardware: "I just look at Windows", Spencer explained. "It's almost certain if the developer is building a Windows version of their game, then the most powerful and highest fidelity version is the PC version. You can even see that with some of our first-party console games going to PC, even from our competitors, that the richest version is the PC version. Yet the PC ecosystem is the most dive

Far Cry 6 has leaked due to a PlayStation Store Hong Kong listing , confirming Giancarlo Esposito as the game's villain, and providing a suggested release date of February 18, 2021. The game will also seemingly receive a free PS4-PS5 upgrade. According to the description in the listing, the game's plot is staged on the island of Yara, "the largest Far Cry playground to date" and "a tropical paradise frozen in time" (which sounds something like a Cuban setting). Giancarlo Esposito's character is seemingly called Anton Castillo and serves as the dictator of the island. The young chap in the image below is his son, Diego, who is "following in his bloody footsteps" as he attempts to restore his nation back to its former glory.

Various Xbox Game Studios leaders like Tim Schaefer and Brian Fargo revealed more about what it means to join up and become an Xbox first-party studio. In the case of Double Fine, joining the Xbox stable meant being able to put back boss fights into Psychonauts 2, which were previously cut due to budget shortages. In a new interview with GamesIndustry.biz , several studio heads now working under the Xbox Game Studios umbrella shared the experience of being acquired by Xbox. Xbox Game Studios boss Matt Booty prefers a method of acquisition called “Limited integration” or “unplugged studios” where developers can remain as they are while Xbox provides “financial firepower and support of the larger business.” Double Fine boss Tim Schafer shared what this meant for Psychonauts 2 and how “With Psychonauts 2, we could see the end of our budget coming up, and so we had cut a lot of stuff… We had cut our boss fights.” [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSl

Sony has acquired a minority interest in Epic with a strategic investment of $250 million. The minority stake will mean that Sony and Epic will be able to collaborate more closely together in areas of games, entertainment, and technology. “Epic’s powerful technology in areas such as graphics places them at the forefront of game engine development with Unreal Engine and other innovations. There’s no better example of this than the revolutionary entertainment experience Fortnite,” Sony president and CEO Kenichiro Yoshida said in a statement.
