After nearly two years of waiting and a leak that blew the surprise, Bethesda has finally made it official: Oblivion Remastered is real, and will be formally unveiled on April 22.

I'm a comic book nut, but I stay away from Marvel Rivals to keep my blood pressure in check. I do love the radical, supremely over-the-top character designs that NetEase landed on for Marvel's coterie of costumed heroes, though. You might be surprised to learn that the game used to be even more stylized—so much so that finding a hero before a match was borderline obnoxious.In the debut for a...
Nearly a week after a major hack forced it offline, the notorious imageboard 4chan remains inaccessible, and there's a growing feeling that it's going to stay that way—and that maybe it's not so bad.Founded in 2003, 4chan is—or was—something of a waypoint for a particular part of online subculture: Basic, unrefined, unmoderated, and almost entirely anonymous, which is what made it so notorious. Vice called it "the internet’s favorite hotspot...

In response, a former Concord developer made a post on the Marathon subreddit asking people to give it a chance. “Concord failed...

We learned that it's a hero-based extraction shooter with abilities, economy, and a handful of maps in the vein of Escape From Tarkov. We know it's got weapon mods that should tickle the brains of Destiny buildcrafters, and Bungie also shared details on proximity chat, solo play, and cosmetics (it'll have them).Weirdly, one important...
Weekend box office reporting is a seminal part of entertainment media. In recent years alone, it has served as everything from a checkup on the general health of movie theaters to a litmus test for each new Marvel film. But recently, box office reporting has gotten a little weird: All the earnings are being reported in terms of budgets and profitability. This used to be language reserved for obvious box...

Hero perks in standard Quickplay and Competitive let you tweak hero abilities through a handful of upgrade choices.

We're in a golden age of ARPGs if you haven't been paying attention, but that doesn't make them any easier to balance. Since its launch, Diablo 4 has been criticized for its awfully gentle take on the Burning Hells; and though smacking loot pinatas until they stop moving doesn't have to be all that hard to be fun, lead live game designer Colin Finer is ready to kick things up...
