Streaming legend Tyler “Ninja” Blevins caused shockwaves in the streaming community recently when he moved from Twitch, where he had over 14 million followers, to start all over again on Microsoft’s Mixer platform. While many called Ninja a “sell-out” for making the move, a recent interview with Ninja’s manager and wife, Jessica Blevins, revealed more of the story. It seems the reasons for the move include a feeling that Twitch “did not listen” and the platform becoming “pretty toxic....

Those who sail the high seas in search of 3DS games might be in for choppy waters. Nintendo just released a firmware update for the handheld that beefs up its ability to detect when a game is pirated. Apparently this measure is quite robust, with Nintendo hacking communities and even one of the foremost 3DS dataminers weighing in on how difficult it will be to crack. The new anti-piracy features were announced by ScriesM, a well-known hacker in the Nintendo fandom....

Almost two and a half years after Nioh surprised action RPG fans, Nioh 2 looks to continue the trend. Team Ninja is attending the Tokyo Game show 2019 convention and brought a new Nioh 2 trailer.

In Onward Pixar imagines a world where magic and fantasy have been supplanted by the mundane and suburban. But if you squint, there is still some of that old sorcery hidden between the cracks. It’s almost ironic then that the movie’s setup is also a perfect metaphor for its faults and virtues. For there is little of that precious Pixar magic here, but Onward can still summon the stuff where it counts—and when it does it turns an otherwise ho-hum animated family movie into something irresistible....

This opens up a lot of fun and exciting new forms of play, built upon the beloved foundation of its predecessor....

Ori and the Will of the Wisps. And now we know when we can find out just how awesome it will be....

For all its colorful characters and engaging worldbuilding, Overwatch is a little light on canon — fans have had to piece together the game’s history and lore from cryptic tweets and in-game clues like voice lines and map design. Thankfully, the development team has regularly partnered with writers and illustrators to publish short comics that have expanded the game’s worldbuilding and given fans new insight into their favorite Overwatch heroes....

It feels like eons ago that Blizzard surprised us all with an announcement on a sequel to Overwatch. In fact, Overwatch 2 was only revealed just over a year ago, that’s how long 2020 has felt. Anyhow, we’ve not heard much on the title since, but it looks like the info drought may be coming to a close. In a development update video that primarily focuses on updates for Overwatch, Blizzard briefly touches on the sequel....

Xbox boss Phil Spencer has made Microsoft’s plainest promise yet around the future of Call of Duty on PlayStation platforms. Speaking to the Same Brain Youtube channel, Spencer pledged to keep releasing Call of Duty games on Sony’s consoles “as long as there’s a PlayStation out there to ship to”. The future of Call of Duty on PlayStation has become a contentious topic for regulators such as the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), which is currently scrutinising Microsoft’s planned $68n takeover of COD publisher Activision Blizzard....

You’ll soon be able to play Minecraft on your phone. As long as you live in certain countries, that is. Mojang announced at Minecon that the early access of Minecraft Earth will start rolling out in October. Which is exciting, except we don’t really know much more than that.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Call of Duty: Warzone 2 have both been out for a short while. However, in that time, both games have proven to be major successes in terms of sales and player counts for developer Infinity Ward and publisher Activision Blizzard. This is in spite of the fact that there have been numerous bugs and glitches affecting these games. One of these is the money glitch, which is letting Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 players quickly earn huge sums of in-game money during a match....

This article contains spoilers for the Motherland: Fort Salem finale. It’s a good thing that Motherland: Fort Salem has already been renewed for season 2 because last night’s finale left fans with a lot of questions and the fates of many characters uncertain.
