Read moreThe Lego Super Mario Peach’s Castle Expansion Set is down to its lowest price ever ahead of Black Friday. Both Amazon and Walmart are offering the sprawling set for just $69 (was $130), though it’s unclear how long the deal will stick around. The set works with the interactive Lego Super Mario Adventures Starter Set–which is also on sale for $40 (was $50), so consider snagging them both ahead of the busy shopping holiday.
Keep in mind that, while this Peach’s Castle Set comes with tons of cool features and makes a great playset, it doesn’t actually include a Peach figure. For that, you’ll want…
Read moreDiablo 4’s seventh seasonal update, Season of Witchcraft, arrives on January 21 and will give players a whole new set of fan-favorite powers from an old Diablo class to experiment with.
Many of the new 25 Witchcraft Powers are taken almost directly from abilities used by Diablo 3’s Witch Doctor. The class hasn’t made its way to Diablo 4 officially just yet, but Blizzard isn’t being shy about paying homage to the frog-slinging mystic. Powers like Firebat Servants, various Hexes, Poison Frog Servants, Soul Harvest, and Piranhado are all taken from the Witch Doctor’s Diablo 3 playbook and will be usable by any class.
To earn those Witchcraft Powers and others, players will need to aid a coven underneath the Tree of Whispers by completing new Whisper bounties…
Read moreOne of the strangest debates in video gaming has been around the use of yellow paint to signal interactive objects in an environment. Star Wars Outlaws does have this accessibility feature, but developer Ubisoft Massive will also let you turn it off, in case the thought of seeing a dash of signposting paint in a galaxy far (far!) away runs counter to your sense of immersion.
Players can choose Explorer Mode in Star Wars Outlaws, an option that turns off the “guiding color on core navigational elements” in the world around you (via PC Gamer). Essentially, this mutes the visual language that guides players toward interactive parts of the environment and collectibles. While this does make Star Wars Outlaws less video-gamey, the mode can potentially make navigating levels more of a ch…

Days before his Netflix action film Red Notice premieres, Dwayne Johnson is looking at how he can change his future productions in light of the tragic death of Halyna Hutchins on the set of the Alec Baldwin film Rust. The actor-producer has pledged to never again use real guns on projects produced by his company Seven Bucks Productions, Variety reports.
“First of all, I was heartbroken,” Johnson said to Variety at the premiere for Red Notice. “We lost a life. My heart goes out to her family and everybody on set. I’ve known Alec, too, for a very long time.

Read moreAlthough he stepped down from his position as Chairman of Sony Interactive Entertainment in 2019, Shawn Layden hasn’t been shy about sharing his views about the future of the gaming industry. And the former PlayStation boss believes that that the ongoing conflict of rival consoles between Sony and Microsoft should come to a close.
During an interview with Eurogamer, Layden likens the PlayStation and Xbox competition to the format wars between VHS and Sony’s Betamax decades earlier, which was won by the former before both formats became obsolete.
“With Xbox versus PlayStation, the Ali versus Frazier fight… Frankly, we have to start interrogating what the purpose is of a proprietary console, and whether that can continue to be true,” said Layden. “When you have competing for…
Read moreAMC Networks interim CEO Matt Blank said the company has “no plans” for ad-supported tiers for its streaming services, which include Shudder, Acorn TV, and AMC+. Deadline was first to report on Blank’s comments, which were part of AMC’s quarterly conference call with analysts.
Blank’s most provocative statement on the topic came when he seemingly threw shade against other streaming services, like Netflix–without mentioning them by name. Amid huge losses in subscribers and results allegedly negatively impacted by password-sharing, Netflix in late April came around to the idea of offering an ad-based model to turn things around. Said Blank, “It’s funny when you hear one other large player having trouble… all of a sudden an ad tier is going to solve all problems? We don’…
Read moreEarly in its development, New World was a multiplayer title more focused on crafting and survival. Eventually, the game morphed into the MMORPG that it is today Come from Sports betting site VPbet . In a new developer update, Amazon states that it’s time for New World to lose some of those holdover survival game systems that are creating friction and preventing players from fully enjoying what the game has to offer.
“We think there are numerous things getting in the way of people playing the game that they want to play,” New World creative director David Verfaillie said. “Fast travel, mutation orbs, storage, a lot of things differently making it difficult for people to experience the game they want. Th…
