Fortnite's The Big Bang event has officially arrived and it served as not only an epic dimension-hopping adventure that featured a performance by Eminem, but it introduced new LEGO, Rocket League-like racing, and Guitar Hero/Rock Band-like music games headed to Fortnite. The event began when a meteor struck the map and collided with The Zero Point. This opened up a tear in space and time that took you and everything else around you through multiple realities or dimensions. You enter a LEGO Fortnite world where you and your team become LEGO characters and tour the world on a glider. In it, you see LEGO people building, a monstrous dragon attacking a castle, a bustling town, and so much more. Everything is made out of LEGO and the terrain is gorgeous. The ray tracing effects are in full effect and create a mesmerizing glow and it made us with we could stay longer. Luckily, this was actually a tease for the upcoming LEGO Fortnite survival crafting game headed to Fortnite on Dece

In an extensive interview with Windows Central , Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer spoke on a variety of topics, including one area players have been asking for some improvements for some time: Xbox Achievements. The interview, which covered a variety of subjects from the potential revival of older franchises like Banjo-Kazooie , to the lack of plans to bring Game Pass to third-party platforms , briefly touched upon achievements when Spencer described Xbox's numerous roadmaps for the future. "There's a hardware roadmap, there's a service roadmap, maybe there's even a roadmap for improvements to Xbox achievements, which I know is something that you and many others care about," Spencer said. Achievements were one of Microsoft's flagship ideas during the Xbox 360 generation, but haven't gotten much love in the way of improvements in quite some time - something players have commented about online in months and years past. "Maybe there's eve

There are quite a few Cyber Monday deals still going strong today, especially over at Amazon. Right now, you can still save on select PS5 console bundle deals. In particular, the PS5 Spider-Man 2 Slim Bundle and the PS5 Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 Slim Bundle . These bundles have been a big hit over Black Friday and Cyber Monday, so you'll want to grab them quick before they're gone! PS5 Console Bundle Deals at Amazon You can still get 11% off the PS5 Spider-Man 2 Slim Bundle and the PS5 Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 Slim Bundle. These would normally set you back $559.99, but they're each available for $499.00, so well worth picking up if you've been hoping to get your hands on a new PS5 Slim console. They've been very popular this year for holiday shopping, so you'll want to pick these up before they're out of stock. You can also get the digital edition of the PS5 Slim console right now, which we've listed below, though it's not for sale

In a livestream today developer Grinding Gear Games made a slew of announcements, including a first look at a new playable class in its upcoming ARPG Path of Exile 2: the mercenary. The long-awaited sequel, which announced way back in 2019, is still a ways away from its closed beta kicking off in June of next year, but in the meantime a steady stream of reasons to get excited have come our way, including IGN's hands-on time with the druid class a few months ago. The class revealed today though, dubbed the mercenary, is in a league all its own. Armed with a slew of crossbows, including those capable of sniping from across the map, peppering enemies with elemental effects at close-range, or even blasting away hoardes with fully-automatic payloads, the mercenary converts the ARPG experience into something resembling a twinstick shooter. Compared to the rather expected hack-and-slash approach of the warrior and the druid, the mercenary's shameless shooting is quite a depart

A proper Grand Theft Auto 6 reveal is on the horizon , but that isn’t stopping Rockstar Games from adding a groundbreaking feature to Grand Theft Auto Online: animals. The GTA and Red Dead Redemption maker announced its plans to bring furry creatures to its long-running open-world multiplayer experience in a post on its website . There is, however, a caveat, as animals are only coming to players on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S – not PC. Players have long questioned the absence of animals in GTA Online, especially considering the base GTA 5 experience featured animals upon its release in 2013. Even if PC players are excluded, it’s a major change that some players are trying to wrap their heads around. GTA 5 has been out for a decade, so why now? Oh, thats tbh very cool, but why not earlier for example with the expanded and enhanced version? xD — KokaCube (@kokacube) November 30, 2023 Rockstar wrote in its official release, "As we continue to take further advantage o

Xbox Cyber Monday deals are dwindling, and time and some of the best deals are running out. Our favorites at the moment include the Xbox Series S - Starter Bundle (including three months of Xbox Game Pass) for just $249 at Walmart. Additionally, the Xbox Series X is still on sale at Amazon for $449. But, that's not all, so make sure you take some time to dig into the rest of the deals we've found for you just below. Rival console PlayStation's Cyber Monday deals are pretty fantastic as well, so there's never been a better time to be a gamer looking for a deal. TL:DR - Best Post-Xbox Cyber Monday Deals Shortcuts Xbox Console Deals Xbox Controller Deals Xbox Game Deals Xbox Game Pass Deals Xbox SSD and Accessory Deals Where to Find Xbox Deals on Black Friday Black Friday Shopping Tips Cyber Monday: Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S Deals The Xbox Series X is still $50 off its regular price, and this is likely your last chance to score a deal this year.

Just one day after the launch of Season of the Wish, Bungie has removed a $15 "starter pack" microtransaction for Destiny 2 that quickly became the subject of criticism and backlash over pay-to-win concerns. Over the years, Bungie's monetization model for their long-running live-service shooter has increasingly relied on DLC and numerous microtransaction channels to support its game, but when players noticed a new "starter pack" added to the store yesterday, many voiced concern that the company had gone too far. How is this microtransaction different from the numerous paid offerings of years past? Well, importantly, it contains powerful guns and in-game materials that can take hours of playtime to earn normally, and while Destiny has flirted with pay-to-win elements in the past, this was the first time they'd very clearly gone beyond cosmetic and time-saving mechanics into the world of pay-to-win. Among the concerned voices was popular Destiny content

This is the best year ever for Xbox Cyber Monday deals , from the best Cyber Monday Xbox console deals we've ever seen, to the lowest-prices on Xbox Cyber Monday controller deals , ever. That's on top of all the Black Friday deals on Xbox games, too. The Xbox Series X comes with 1TB built-in storage, and the base-model Xbox Series S comes with 512GB. With modern games taking up more and more room (looking at you Call of Duty), that built-in storage tends to fill up fast, especially on the Series S. Thankfully, this Black Friday and Cyber Monday stretch has Xbox storage deals to help you easily double the storage of your Xbox Series X. Best Black Friday Xbox 1TB Storage Card Deal Unlike the PlayStation 5, which accepts any compatible SSD so long as you're not afraid to crack open the case of your console, the Xbox Series X and Series S uses a memory-card system with high-speed storage that plugs into the back. The WD_Black 1TB Xbox expansion card adapts the speed of

It’s a heck of a time, running through an abandoned bunker in the dark with nothing but a hazmat suit on your back and three of your closest buds at your side. Oh wait, that’s not your closest bud at all – it’s a grotesque, white-eyed monster eating their corpse and using their body like a puppet. Welcome to Lethal Company, a co-op survival horror game that’s all about digging deep into the (procedurally-generated and largely haunted) crevasses of exoplanetary human history for loot, which your party of up to four companions will need to figure out how to safely transport back to your ship and eventually sell to your eldritch bosses at the end of each round. This is a simple but highly enjoyable premise, and thankfully, there’s enough chaos decking the halls of its current early access version to sink an entire weekend into its depths without realizing you’ve done so. But, even with such a riveting loop and plenty of monsters to make it satisfyingly treacherous, Lethal Company does st

During Capcom's special Dragon's Dogma 2 showcase yesterday, we not only learned the release date for the hotly anticipated sequel action role-playing game, but we also learned it will be the company's first $70 game. The PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Steam standard editions of the game are all listed at $70 USD, with the deluxe edition being priced at $80. Over the last three years, video game publishers and companies have slowly been adapting the "Triple A" video price bump from $60 to $70 . Up until now, Capcom has abstained from selling games with this new price point with the release of titles like Street Fighter 6 . Now, it's looking like the company will finally test the waters with the release of Dragon's Dogma 2 on March 26, 2024. This news comes months after Capcom president Haruhiro Tsujimoto revealed that he thought the price of video games were "too low" while speaking at the Tokyo Game Show in September. During the event, Tsujimo

Amazon in the UK has dropped Forspoken on PlayStation 5 to just £9.99 (see here) . This is a huge £50 drop from the original £59.99 RRP, and a reasonably good deal in the post-Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales. We did already see this deal a couple of weeks back , but the stock didn't last too long, so not many of us got the opportunity to pick the game up at such a discount. But, with the deal now available again, we're recommending taking advantage of it ASAP to avoid disappointment. Considering the popularity of the offer last time, we're predicting this deal to expire again incredibly quickly. But, also let us know in the comments your thoughts on whether Forspoken is now worth buying for £10. For more UK deal updates, be sure to follow @IGNUKDeals on Twitter/X. We gave Forspoken a 6/10 in our review , but there are some fans who still consider it to be an underrated hidden gem on the PS5. This is what our reviewer had this to say about the game when it first l

In the months since The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom's release, I thought maybe we'd seen it all. From a perpetual flight machine to classic cars to satellite laser cannons , Zelda fans have used TOTK's wildly customizable crafting mechanics to unleash both their creativity and their chaos . But one fan and film buff, going by @sumoguri2323 on X/Twitter, has created a whole Godzilla film entirely within Tears of the Kingdom, and it's genuinely a sight to behold. You can watch the brief but epic short film below (or click here if the embed isn't working for you). 神事 #ゼルダの伝説 #TearsOfTheKingdom #Zelda #ゴジラ pic.twitter.com/cukf2fbCrq — スモグリ (@sumoguri2323) November 23, 2023 The thoughtfully crafted and edited video is complete with music and sound effects, and sees Lurelin Village contending with what I'm going to call Zonai Zilla. The iconic kaiju is recreated using Zonai materials and devices and the Ultrahand ability, and is seen marching

Capcom just brought its latest Dragon’s Dogma 2 Showcase to a close, but it still made sure to show off towering new enemies like Talos, a new vocation in the form of the Trickster, and more immersive RPG gameplay. It was a short presentation that had its show stolen almost immediately when Capcom began to introduce fearsome foes like Talos, a giant statue capable of destroying its surrounding environment. It appears players can take Talos out by climbing around its body and striking weak points Shadow of the Colossus-style. Talos is proof that Dragon’s Dogma 2 is bringing a gigantic scale to the series, but that’s not the only thing that’s new. While the world may appear similar to the original adventure, Producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi says the sequel’s story takes place in “a parallel world.” As the Arisen, players will find themselves caught between the struggle of two kingdoms: Vermund and Battahl. Meanwhile, Dragon’s Dogma 2 Director Hideaki Itsuno introduced us to one of th

Zombies can be fun to mow down, but they also run the risk of being one of the least interesting monster enemy types around: a slow, lumbering, decaying husk that’s better off buried than occupying our attention. If nothing else, The Walking Dead: Destinies , based off the otherwise fantastic early seasons of the TV show, succeeds in embodying all their worst qualities. In its ugly, shuffling attempts to stand tall even while looking like rotting husk of a game from the Xbox 360 days, Destinies deserves neither your attention nor access to your wallet – and we would be better off if this boring mess had stayed buried in the past, from which it seems to have exhumed its broken mechanics. While it earns a small amount of credit for at least attempting to play with plots that diverge from the TV show, little else is done to elevate it above the muck of banal design, awful character models, and the laughable sense that this is barely a rough draft of a game. Longtime fans of the TV show

This expansion card also offers the same speed as the internal SSD, meaning you'll still get the same fast load speeds, a

This article contains spoilers for the story of Insomniac’s Spider-Man 2. Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 players have found yet another glitch that lets them patrol the streets of New York City as Venom - but it involves a certain amount of risk, so those looking to exploit the glitch should proceed with caution. If you haven’t been keeping up with the community carnage that’s ensued since Insomniac Games’ sequel launched for PlayStation 5 last month, then you should know that a dedicated few have been working to find ways to play as Marvel’s iconic symbiote. They had succeeded before, but Insomniac was quick to patch the exploit . Now, someone has discovered a new way to take the Lethal Protector outside of the limited arena players are given a little more than halfway through the campaign. Reddit user UnderTheHood778 shared footage of them controlling Venom as he jumps over and around the city’s skyscrapers. This new version of the Venom glitch actually offers a bit more than previous

The developer of the hotly anticipated Silent Hill 2 remake has taken the unusual step of appealing for patience as calls for gameplay from eager fans intensify. After months of rumour and speculation, Konami announced the Silent Hill 2 remake as part of its Silent Hill Transmission event in October 2022. During the event, Konami showcased a three-minute trailer that provided a look at the famously foggy town in 4K. In addition to providing glimpses of Pyramid Head and other notable elements from the original game, the trailer confirmed that Bloober Team, the Polish studio best known for horror games Layers of Fear and The Medium, had been signed to handle development. But we’ve not seen anything more of the game in the year since, leaving fans to feed on scraps of information gleaned from interviews . And following the launch of the heavily criticised interactive streaming series Silent Hill: Ascension , and confusion over what sounded like the inclusion of a "special o
