It’s been three years since the release of Mafia 3, and the series has seemingly been dormant ever since. Despite being 2K Games’ fastest selling title at the time, beating out even the likes of Borderlands, the publisher has remained silent about the franchise’s future ever since, making it appear incredibly unlikely that a sequel would ever appear. However, some recently discovered trademarks could suggest that not only is a Mafia 4 in the works, but a remaster of Mafia 2 as well....

The baffling trend of official Nintendo ASMR videos is continuing unabated, only this time it’s Charmander and Chespin from the Pokémon franchise who are creating weird noises for the people wearing headphones. ASMR stands for autonomous sensory meridian response, and it refers to the sensation that people feel on their skin in response to certain sounds - such as whispering or tapping on a hollow surface. These sensations are often best experienced while wearing headphones....

As spotted by Gematsu, the big N managed to shift a whopping 6.86 million units of hardware and 49.81 million units of software just in the three months ending September 2020, boosted no doubt by releases like Super Mario 3D All-Stars which managed to sell 5....

Only hours ahead of the No Man’s Sky launch a rather crude copyright takedown of No Man’s Sky videos on YouTube forced both Sony and developer Hello Games to go on the charm offensive in order to manage fan anger at the situation. The issue arose after Sony targeted a number of YouTube videos which leaked footage of No Man’s Sky ahead of release, only it turned out that many videos which featured no leaked footage were also taken offline....

Playing an early demo for OlliOlli World for the first time feels a lot like entering a kind of zany cartoon wonderland, which is precisely what developer Roll7 is aiming for. The third installment of the skateboarding franchise stands worlds apart (no pun intended) from its predecessors with its 3D graphics, bright colors, and cast of characters. According to Roll7 co-CEO and co-founder Tom Hegarty, the studio wanted to diverge from the traditional super-tough gameplay that defined previous OlliOlli games and present a skateboarding game that’s more approachable for more casual players like me....

When you’re Nintendo, creator of some of the most beloved games of all time that are just bursting with playful innovation, wonder, and creativity, you might expect that to be reflected in the building where the magic all happens. Sure, maybe it’s not Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory or even Google’s gimmicky offices that exude a cringey big-kid energy, but you wouldn’t think Shigeru Miyamoto, or all the other creative minds of Nintendo EPD, would spend their day-to-day in a giant corporate concrete block, which another developer I spoke to jokingly referred to as, “the place where dreams go to die”....

I know about as much about One Piece as I do about Dragon Ball Z, which is to say that I know a few character names and some of the rough basics. Obviously, then, I’m exactly the right person to look at One Piece: Burning Blood‘s newly launched PC version. Alas, this is a step back from Bandai Namco’s most recent PC port, the rather well-treated God Eater 2: Rage Burst....

Many of Overwatch’s heroes come with a distinct and interesting backstory, but few are as unique and rich as Zenyatta. This robotic Buddhist-inspired healer represents a sort of peaceful, harmonious core amongst a turbulent, conflicted, and often violent history that makes up the game’s lore. The Omnic has a tale that’s both inspirational and slightly tragic; though his grounded, wise ways keep his spirits lifted. Zen plays the role of a unifier and means of support with his abilities to heal, which translates within the society of Overwatch itself....

A recent report released by veteran games industry researchers Super Data reveals a shifting trend in consumer spending within the video games industry. While in-game console purchases are down, mobile-game purchases are on the rise. Most PC revenue (85%) and nearly half of console revenue (48%) originated from in-game purchases in 2018, but now it has only been the mobile segment of the market that has seen increases in spending over the past two years....

[Midnight Rant is a new Game Rant feature brewed in the the darkest moments of the evening, and served appropriately during the midnight hour (where horrible rants belong).] Today’s rant focuses on the various Natal rumors that arose today, stating the curious camera contraption will ring up $150 at the register. As most of you likely did, I shrugged and moved on, but just recently I came upon an upsetting article at Technologizer....

Today, during the celebrations for Minecraft Live, Microsoft and Mojang provided news about Minecraft Dungeons.
