It’s been a month, which is an eternity in internet time If, for whatever reason, you’re interested inFFXIV Endwalker‘s story beats, but haven’t played it yet (whether it’s on your list, you’re making your way toEndwalkerthrough previous expansions, or you couldn’t buy it): watch out. Square Enix just lifted the soft “Endwalker spoiler ban”they put in place since launch. As a bit of background,Square Enix straight-up asked the community at large to not spoilEndwalker....

The next time you visit one of the Souplantation’s109 family-friendly locationsmake sure to tell your server that Mr. Destructoid sent you to save 10 percent on your meal. Ok, so we actually can’t actually guarantee that they’ll give you a discount, but considering the huge plug Chad gave them during the Destructoid PAX panel they should definitely think about it. Rare doesn’t want to make anotherViva Pinataright away, EA is acting suspicious by giving away free stuff, and Nick loses a match of arm wrestling (although I hear his opponent cheats)....

One of the stars of the most recent story update for Warframe, the mysterious Stalker, has a famously cool set of weapons (Dread, Despair and Hate). Right now you’re able to get the entire set as part of the ‘What Stalker?’ weapon pack for 800 platinum. The Stalker’s famous bow, Dread, is probably the most well-known of his loadout and looks extremely awesome on any Warframe. Here’s how to craft aWarframebuild around it....

Mechazod Fun times! Blizzard has brought back aHearthstoneTavern Brawl event from November that features two players battling one AI opponent — Mechazod. It’s a hastily crafted form of co-op, in that the UI is basically the same and there’s no added quality of life features, but the functionality is there, and it works. I really hope Blizzard implements this gametype down the line. I would easily replay every adventure again on Heroic mode just to storm through them with a friend....

Just as predicted Look, I’m going to try and not be smug about this… butI was right. A few weeks ago,Wildstar was pulled from the shelves in Australia, leading to speculation it might be going free to play orGuild Wars­-style buy to play (which, for the record, is a ridiculous phrase and we need to come up with another one for describing that sort of model.) Well guess what just showed up in the Steam database?...

When it comes to board games, there’s a wide variety of themes to pick from, and something to entertain you whatever your mood. If you’re looking to get bogged down trying to escape from captivity, then you can’t do better than a prison escape board game. The first prison escape board game that instantly comes to my mind is “Prison Break”, based on the hit TV show of the same name, which aired between 2006 and 2017....

CD Projekt Red, the developer ofCyberpunk 2077, hasannouncedthe studio will be partnering with Anonymous Content to produce a live-action “project” set in theCyberpunk 2077universe. Anonymous Content is most known for producing works such asTrue DetectiveandMr. Robot, but its catalog is overflowing with series such asSaint X,Shantaram, andThe Last Days of Ptolemy Grey. It is currently unknown what form thislive-actionCyberpunkstory would take, but considering CD Projekt Red is working closely with Anonymous Content Studios’ head of television Garret Kemble, director of development Ryan Schwartz, and CCO David Levine, it would make sense to be a series, rather than a film on the big screen....

Nintendo held a live stream presentation forTobidase Dobatsu no Mori(roughly translated asAnimal Crossing: Jump Out) yesterday, and the sheer amount of hotAnimal Crossingfacts that blasted our faces wereunprecedented. Anyone who’s followed theAnimal Crossingseries from the start knows that the series is all about minutia, and that includes the amount of changes that are made from game to game. This new title for the 3DS continues that trend, though there a few new editions that seem like quantum leaps into the future, at least byAnimal Crossingstandards....

Here comes the fuzz It’s not too often we see a major publisher humbled. With the announcement ofBattlefield Hardlinelast year, EA and Visceral Games were ready to release another entry in the epic and grandiose Battlefield series. But soon after, they decided to hold off, and push the rather ambitious title back to 2015. After taking in its criticisms and lumps from the original beta release, they figured this was one one title they didn’t want to botch....

‘When the time is right’ There has been a steady buzz about the possibilities of majorDiablonews at BlizzCon 2018. That’s largely because there’s a panel called “Diablo: What’s Next?” which is set to take place immediately after the opening keynote. That seems like a prime spot for Blizzard to elaborate on a huge reveal. Maybe not, though. Blizzard has posted aBlizzCon updateessentially asking that fans don’t get too excited aboutDiablo. The developer confirms that there are multipleDiabloprojects in the works, and that it’ll reveal them “when the time is right....
