As seen in this Empire campaign Creative Assembly is giving us another glimpse at the particulars ofTotal War: Warhammer. Just like theGreenskins walkthroughbefore it, this video drops us partway into a campaign, albeit with the Empire. It’s seven minutes long, but that feels like no time at all for a game of this scope. Aside from theLegendary Lords, who are taken directly from lore, you’ll have the option to rename all of your characters....
According to EA’s head of international publishing, Gerhard Florin, we would all be better off with one unified gaming platform — as opposed to the multitude of consoles and handhelds that currently vie for our attention. Speaking with the BBC, he envisions just that in as little as 15 years. How so? Well taking into consideration that set-top boxes are continually improving and that steaming HDTV streams and Internet is already happening — it’s just a matter of time before the one barrier that’s caused division among gamers is removed: multiple platforms....
Cult of the Lamb’snext big update sees itcrossing overwith the indie megahitDon’t Starve Together. It’s a great fit in many ways. Both games include adark-yet-cute aesthetic, and they both have an art style that depicts 2D objects in a flat, 3D world. The main thing to know is that in order to access the new content, you’ll need to recruit Webber, who was a playable character inDon’t Starve. To get Webber, you’ll need to kill spiders in your base....
Yes, the apostrophe is supposed to be there SNK really went into overkill with their fighting titles in the ’90s. Don’t get me wrong, I loveSamurai ShodownandFatal Furyet al, withKing of Fightersbeing in my top five franchises of all time, but the developer/publisher’s love affair with one-on-one fighters led to the company ripping itself off time and again with titles that are barely memorable today Case in point,Ninja Master’s,which has been re-released by the comprehensive retro-fans at Hamster....
There will be several concert dates and times, in case it gets a bit crowded Fortnitehas hosted several big-name stars inside the game in the past, and the next headliner is a pretty big deal. Ariana Grande is coming toFortniteto headline the Rift Tour. Because things can get a bit hectic when a bigFortniteevent happens, and Ariana Grande’s in-game appearance is likely to draw even more folks in who might be lapsed or even brand-newFortniteplayers, there will be five showtimes....
The team always knew the naval elements of ACIII would do really well WhileAssassin’s Creed IIIteased it with only a cinematic, you will actually be boarding other ships in real time inAssassin’s Creed IV. A basic example I was told is that players will see a ship, weaken it with an attack, then command the crew to throw hooks onto their target in order to drag the ships together. From there you can board it, continue your attack, and take what you want....
Black Myth: Wukongwas one of the biggest video games of 2024and many gamers around the world are still enjoying it today, more than 5 months after its initial release. However, this game is still only available on PlayStation 5 and PC, with no Xbox Series X/S release date in sight. The weirdest part is that Game Science delayed the Xbox version ofBlack Myth: Wukongback in June 2024, andMicrosoft even commented on the matter....
Skate in the name of the law Tony Hawk’s Pro Skaterhas no shortage of secret characters across its many games. Spider-Man can be unlocked inTHPS2. Daisy, modeled after porn star Jenna Jameson, can be unlocked inTHPS3. Thelist is long and fascinating, but none of the secret characters are more iconic than Officer Dick. Officer Dick, more Paul Blart than RoboCop, is the policeman who is an unlockable skater in the first fourTony Hawkgames....
July 12, 2025 for Europe Plan to welcome in death alongside spring blooms next year asDark Souls IIfinally has a solid release date. We learned at a pre-Tokyo Game Show press event that the follow-up to one of this generation’s biggest ball busters comes on July 04, 2025 in North America and June 29, 2025 in Europe. Namco Bandai told us that a PC release will come shortly after. A Collector’s Edition and a Black Armor Edition are also slated for launch forDark Souls II....
‘Zach, this reminds me of a film’ Deadly Premonition 2is back again with another obtuse, progress-gating quest. Here’s how to snag some anaconda skins and pressed white guara. Why is it obtuse, you may ask? Well, this is one of the few missions in the game that doesn’t provide objective markers. If you look closely, however, the phrase “park” is written on the mission description itself.That park is actually right next to the church, where you’ll find anaconda skins littered about the ground randomly....
Junkrat, Orisa, Roadhog, and Widowmaker Deathmatch has come toOverwatch. With today’s update, you’ll be able to find free-for-all and Team Deathmatch in the Arcade along with a new map,Château Guillard, designed just for Deathmatch.

This entire week, we have covered our most anticipated 2012 games for the360,PS3,Wii, andPC. Now it’s time for Tony Ponce and I to enter the hardcore, baby-making world of portables. With the Nintendo DS going out with a bang and the 3DS just starting to find its footing, 2012 is going to be an exciting year for Nintendo handhelds! As much as we love our Nintendo DSes, we are really looking forward to what 3DS games will be releasing in the future....
Yeah, this took some recovering The UK, it exists and Destructoid now has writers there. Great British Pounds. Eastenders. Steptoe and Son. The Destructoid UK Podcast (DestrUKtoid). So, this episode of DestrUKtoid really should have gone up last week. Pre E3 schedules and some major technical issues meant this episode almost didn’t see the light of day. Fear not, we did some technical wizardry and managed to recover the episode. Excuse the poor audio quality at times, you’ll have a new episode tomorrow too which should make up for it....
