Pro ‘Fortnite’ player sues FaZe Clan over ‘oppressive’ team contract

[ad_1] The lawsuit further accuses FaZe of threatening the “health, safety and welfare” of players like Tenney. He was reportedly pushed into living in one of the group’s LA homes alongside other young celebs, and was encouraged to both drink alcohol while underage as well as gamble. He also ended up with a permanent injury […]

‘Overwatch’ third anniversary event kicks off May 21st

[ad_1] Blizzard is holding its third Overwatch anniversary event on May 21st, and this year the focus appears to be on welcoming in as many as people as possible. The occasion will revive many seasonal cosmetics, Arcade brawls, emotes and skins, but it’ll also include a week-long free trial (until May 28th) to give you […]

‘Call of Duty’ shake-up may see ‘Black Ops 5’ arrive in 2020

[ad_1] This would also be a “cross-gen” game that releases on the next-generation PlayStation and Xbox consoles alongside the PS4 and Xbox One. This year’s game, expected to be a return to Modern Warfare, might include a free-to-play element like Fortnite or Apex Legends. That’s tentative, according to the rumor, so you might not want […]

Ubisoft delays ‘Skull and Bones’ until at least mid-2020

[ad_1] That’s a long time to wait for a game that was first unveiled in 2017. This latest delay might be easier to understand than the last, however. Ubisoft’s main competitor, Sea of Thieves, struggled in part because there wasn’t much to do at first — it took months of updates before the game had […]

‘World of Warcraft Classic’ debuts on August 26th

[ad_1] As expected, the game is a touched-up version of the original massively multiplayer game in its most refined form, around the “Drums of War” update from August 2006. That means no world-altering expansions or other major game mechanics that have appeared since then. While you’ll lose some of the creature comforts of the up-to-date […]

Crowdfunded ‘Outer Wilds’ drops Steam for Epic Store exclusivity

[ad_1] Not surprisingly, some backers are upset. The timed exclusive has been likened to a “bait and switch” or even false advertising — players expected a Steam release and now won’t get it until months later at best. Some have said they’ll seek refunds, while others are more concerned about the implications of releasing the […]

‘Rage 2’ will receive at least two paid add-ons after launch

[ad_1] Thankfully, you won’t have to pay extra to get something. Weapon skins, world events, challenges and new rides (the Mech you see above, plus the One-Wheeler) are all slated to be available throughout 2019. You’ll have a reason to keep playing even if you blaze through main story, then. The question is whether or […]

‘Apex Legends’ is coming to mobile devices

[ad_1] The game will also come to China, echoing another Epic strategy. EA might need the expansion. It revealed that its year-over-year profits dipped sharply in the first quarter of 2019 despite Apex‘s debut. That’s not completely surprising. While EA’s other big game of the season (Anthem) did sell well early on, it didn’t really […]

Microsoft teases ‘Minecraft’ AR for your phone

[ad_1] Microsoft has something big in store for Minecraft fans. The company used the start of Build 2019 to offer a teaser for an augmented reality Minecraft experience for phones. The clip doesn’t say much about what the experience entails, although it’s safe to say you won’t be building entire virtual worlds in your neighborhood […]

Playing ‘Pokémon’ as a kid may have rewired your brain

[ad_1] Scientists already knew that humans have specific areas of the brain used to recognize faces, words, numbers and even celebrities like Jennifer Aniston, Bill Clinton and Kobe Bryant. Those areas of the brain are often in the same place for large groups of people. A recent study by Harvard Medical School found that for […]
