Since any Cyno build demands the spotlight at all times, your best bet for Cyno teams involves characters whose elemental abilities stay on the field even after they leave. The helpful thing about Cyno being the driving force of any party he’s in is that it makes building a F2P team even easier as well. You can get the same effect as his elemental team without being at the mercy of the gacha system....
The Division 2’s Warlords of New York expansion launch begins today, even though the official release date is March 3. The timing depends on your platform and region, so let’s break it down. The Division 2 servers have gone down this morning for maintenance across all platforms. This downtime is necessary to deploy update 8.1, which includes Warlords of New York content as well as the changes to gear, crafting, meta and more....
Ubisoft has revealed a few final details about The Division 2’s Episode 3. The DLC launches in February, and it’s adding New York’s Coney Island as a new location. Coney Island arrives alongside The Cleaners, the enemy faction from the first game. The Cleaners are the flamethrower-toting maniacs. You’ll be able to explore the island as part of two main missions. Year 1 Pass owners will also have access to two Classified Assignments, as per usual....

If you haven’t seen a whole lot about The Elder Scrolls: Blades before, you can check out the official launch trailer for Nintendo Switch below. According to an official press release, the Nintendo Switch launch supports cross-platform play, as well as cross-progression. If you’ve already racked up a load of progress on mobile, you can easily transfer said progress by linking your Bethesda....
Epic has revealed several key stats and data points generated by the Epic Games Store over the course of 2020. Similar to 2019’s year-in-review, the company highlighted total players, monthly active users, customer spending and so on. Initially, the numbers look good, with growth in every area. In 2020, the Epic Store had over 160 million customers, up from 108 million the year before. In December alone, Epic recorded over 56 million monthly active users....
The annual show promises game reveals, release dates, and updates on currently announced titles. But, the show is also about handing out awards, and this year the coveted Game of the Year Award features three big hitters going head-to-head, a lovely debut, and two other rather great games. Nominees for GOTY are God of war Ragnarok, Elden Ring, A Plague Tale: Requiem, Horizon Forbidden West, Xenoblade Chronicles 3, and Stray....
You’ll once again be able to try out some unreleased titles thanks to The Game Awards. Taking to Twitter, show organiser Geoff Keighley said that The Game Festival was returning, providing “playable first-look demos” for “upcoming games.” This originally debuted at last year’s show; 12 demos were made available on Steam for a 48-hour period. This time around, it looks like players on a variety of platforms – PC, console, mobile and mixed reality – will be able to take part in this event....
Earlier this week (November 18) Gematsu spotted that Korea’s Game Rating and Administration Committee has given Tears of the Kingdom a 12+ rating. While there’s obviously going to be a good chunk of work to be done in the lead up to the game’s release this May, the game being rated is probably a good sign it’s on track to not be delayed any more than it has been. While Google’s translation is a bit rough, the rating board described the latest Zelda title as a “role-playing game for Nintendo Switch in which the stage of the adventure to find Zelda expands into the sky....
Unreal Engine 5 has impressed before, of course, a demo shown off to highlight what is possible on PS5, turned heads over a year ago, but The Matrix Awakens is different in that you (it’s on the PlayStation store and Xbox store right now) can play it. It’s not a complete game, by any means, but there’s an on-rails shooting sequence that takes place from within the backseat of a speeding car, then a city to wander, fly, or drive around....
The Mortal Kombat movie has had a turbulent few months. The film’s future has felt uncertain this year as it contended with the coronavirus pandemic. While initially slated for January, it was pushed back indefinitely as Warner Bros. tried to figure out what to do with it. It seems that fears it might be some way off were somewhat unfounded though. The film has now gotten its release date – April 16, 2021....
Over the last week or so, the Nier community has truly kicked into gear over a mystery surrounding a video clip shared by a member on the game’s subreddit showing an area that had never been seen before. This clip surged in popularity when it was shared by video game hacker Lance McDonald, leading many to question how it was possible. The answer? It was all essentially a PR stunt from three modders unveiling some impressive new tools....
We’ve collated some of the best options just below, but for now it’s worth mentioning that this deal won’t be going on forever (obviously). The plan seems to be to have it run until just before Christmas on 22nd and 23rd December, depending on location, perhaps to help people have a little bit more fun in the long winter nights. Or maybe just to vacuum up whatever money isn’t being spent on gifts; either is possible....
The game, first announced at Tokyo Game Show 2021, had an unofficial Reddit now swamped with final posts, screenshots of characters, and a pinned thank you message to the hundreds of fans present there. We reached out to some of them to hear their stories, and get some insight into how they spent their last day with Square Enix’s doomed battle royale. “I have always been a fan of Final Fantasy, 7 included, but I can’t quite put my finger on why I was attracted to this game,” writes Richard, an American streamer who jumped into The First Soldier when it launched November 17, 2021....
Xbox is celebrating its 20th anniversary in a number of ways, but maybe the unexpected one is a restock of the Xbox Wireless Headset. It’s likely a coincidence, but if you’re in the US, Walmart has had a big restock of the popular headset, with the $99.99 accessory staying in stock for multiple hours at this point. Considering previous stock since its launch only lasting a few minutes at most, it’s safe to say that the retailer has a huge restock....
Yes, there are now 1008 Pokemon running about the place thanks to the release of Generation 9 in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, which added 103 new Pokemon. It also added new moves, bringing the total to 898, and 31 new abilities bringing the total to 298 (thanks, Bulbapedia). You can look over a comprehensive list of the new Pokemon added with Scarlet and Violet through this handy list from IGN....

What is the Hori Split Pad Pro? It’s a replacement for Joy-Cons that offers a more controller-like experience on the go. The Switch’s standard Joy-Cons don’t have the same grip as the average controller or even the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller. So, the Hori Split Pad Pro helps lessen any drawbacks players might experience because of smooth, slippery Joy-Cons. The Hori Split Pad Pro isn’t some knockoff. It’s officially licensed by Nintendo, though the company itself didn’t create them....
Temtem is a popular indie catch ’em up founded upon the same kind of creature-taming from illustrious series such as Pokemon. However, its story at launch was only a taste of what’s to come - now, seven months later, players who finished the first few sections are finally getting the opportunity to dive headfirst into brand new narrative content. “It’s been a long wait, but finally, tomorrow Kisiwa will open its doors to all Tamers,” reads an official Crema blog post....

Ubisoft announced TrackMania at the Grand League Finals in Lyon, France, and it’s a remake of 2006’s TrackMania Nations. The remake will include a season campaign and daily track selections, along with new track-creation options such as new surfaces and special blocks. There will also be a Grand League and Open Grand League held two times a year. Not much else was revealed about the game, but we expect that to change before its May 5 release....
