4A Games has said previously that Metro Exodus will be more open than the previous games in the Metro series, but it won’t be a completely open world like that of Stalker. For one thing, individual levels in Exodus will be much larger than anything seen in the previous games. The biggest outdoor level in Last Light was roughly “200 meters to 100 meters,” Prokhorov said,. That means everything from weapons, attachments, and other loot, to “frozen stories” that reveal more about the game world and

Devil May Cry 5 is real, it stars Nero, and it’s coming in spring 2019. Don’t worry, the teaser ended with a quick appearance from original Devil May Cry protagonist Dante as well. But still, nice of Microsoft to give Nero and friends a great big stage to do their debut on, right? Oh, and one last thing: despite the fact that Microsoft now owns Ninja Theory, which developed DmC: Devil May Cry, Devil May Cry 5 is being built internally at Capcom. We’ll just have to wait and see what Ninja Theory

One of the biggest “wow” moments at this year’s E3 came at the tail end of the Bethesda press event, when it finally, officially confirmed that The Elder Scrolls 6 is in development. We don’t even know which region of Tamriel it will be set in (though we’ve been speculating a bit). Hines said Bethesda was expecting that some gamers would “freak out a little bit” when they learned that Bethesda’s next big game, Fallout 76, is an online experience. We are going to do a game that’s just single-play

This was one of our big wishlist items for CS:GO in 2018, and I’m happy to report that it’s pretty darn good. Admittedly, the bar has been set pretty low for Panorama, as the existing CS:GO interface is nothing to write home about. Fortunately, those days appear to be behind us, as the Panorama update is a complete overhaul that replaces virtually every UI asset. Surely there are more fruitful bits of information this screen real estate could be used for in CS:GO. It’s a breath of fresh air to s

Moto G6 and Moto Z3 Play are coming to Amazon Prime on June 29 with a $50 discount, which makes these already-affordable Android phones an even better deal. Thanks to their Prime Exclusive status, the two phones will be cheaper next week – $189 for the Moto G6 and $449 for the Moto Z3 Play. The new Moto phones join the LG G6+ and Moto X as tempting Amazon-backed smartphones. On the Moto G6, Alexa is available by double pressing the power button. With the Moto Z3 Play, Alexa integration will be a

Facebook’s new AI assistant , M, can now translate your Messenger conversations from Spanish to English, or vice versa, with the tap of a finger. Facebook first debuted M Translations back at the F8 2018 Conference in May, but only in the Marketplace. Sellers and chatbots can use M Translations to connect with more customers in foreign nations. Facebook claims that it has plans to launch M Translations in other languages and countries, but hasn’t given any timetable on when or where that could h

Fallout 76’s futuristic West Virginia is littered with nuclear missiles that players can use however they see fit. To some, that sounds like a humorous bit of chaos, but many Fallout fans are worried about what those nukes could do to their experience. In a recent interview with Swedish games site FZ, Bethesda marketing VP Pete Hines addressed these and other fears regarding player-controlled nukes. It’s reassuring that when another player does launch a nuke, you’re given time to evacuate the ta

With Fortnite Season 5 just a few weeks away, the time to finish any remaining challenges is nearly up. Week 8’s challenges ask you to search between a bear, crater, and a refrigerator shipment to find some Battle Stars, and while you can feel free to wander around on your own, we’ve already found out exactly where to go. It’s just southeast of Retail Row on a small patch of dirt. I recommend landing at the house south of the marked location to pick up a weapon in case anyone tries to get the ju

Pokemon Quest was announced for Nintendo Switch last month, but next week the free-to-play action game finally makes it onto mobile devices too. “This new Pokemon title, developed by Game Freak, lets players explore the island of Tumblecube with their team of cute, cube-shaped characters known as Pokexel,” said Shigeru Ohmori, director at Game Freak, when the game was announced. With the simple touch-screen controls, Pokemon Quest is a game that Pokemon fans of all ages can pick up and play.” Th

She explained to SFX that she sees fight scenes – you might remember her recent bust-up with Charlize Theron in Atomic Blonde – like a dance. “I always treat fight scenes like choreography – thinking of it as dance choreography was the best way of learning for me,” she says. “But they’re different because one is very much trying to survive, while the other is trying to express something. The movie also stars Sterling K. Brown, Jeff Goldblum, Jenny Slate, and Jodie Foster as ‘the Nurse’ who runs

For me, all-star games are fun to watch because they enable a break from much of the hyper-competitive seriousness that permeates pro sports: You’d never see Larry Walker turn his helmet around to face Randy Johnson, for instance, or watch Patrick Kane and John Scott not-fight following a goal in a “real” game. I hope to see something similar happen in the Overwatch League All-Star Game, which will feature the league’s top players doing their thing in a two-day special event set for August. 12 p

I came back from that feast of games with a lot of playtime under my belt, so I’m ready to go over what I think were the best, most interesting, and most promising games games of the convention.

Definitely my candidate for most surprising game of show, cooperative card game The Mind may just be my new favorite “number

Much like hobbits returning to the shire, The Lord of the Rings: Living Card Game will make it into Early Access before the first leaves of autumn fall: August 28, 2018. A digital adaptation inspired by Fantasy Flight Games’ cooperative card game of the same name, the game has players battling through a series of narrative stories to foil Sauron’s plans either solo or with a co-op partner.

Fallout 76 will be the first game in the post-nuclear role-playing series to let players launch their own full-scale nuclear weapons at will… but what does that mean for when you’re actually in the game? Will no player-made settlement be safe from atomic hellfire in the Fallout 76 PvP scene? I mean, about Fallout 76, not about the actual thought of nuclear war, which remains f#@$ing abhorrent and terrifying. Here are the quick bullet points about how Fallout 76 nukes work, with more detail from
