    Well, it has happened again as another major reveal trailer has already found its way online. this time it isn’t the publisher that accidentally leaked it but The Washington Post that uploaded the trailer for Starfield almost half an hour ahead of the major Xbox and Bethesda panel. It certainly seems to promise a grand space adventure, but we don’t get any clear look at the gameplay. It seems the game will be exclusively on PC and Xbox Series X. It will release on 22nd September of this year.

    The video is currently only available through the Washington Post’s site, which you can check out here.

    E3: Ubisoft Finally Unveils ‘Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora’

    Finally, after a long wait, the brand new Avatar game has been unveiled by Ubisoft. It’ll let you explore the world of Pandora on your own, as the brand new trailer. There is no release date but it is eyeing 2022. We also finally got the title Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, which echoes the vast landscapes showcased in the first trailer. We briefly get a glimpse of playing a Na’vi from a first-person perspective, but we may also get a chance to play as the humans that are invading the world. It’s uncertain if it’ll be a story-driven game or also include multiplayer options, but it seems quite promising from a graphics standpoint alone. Here’s hoping we get more details soon.

  • E3: First Trailer and Gameplay Tease Released for ‘Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope’

    E3: First Trailer and Gameplay Tease Released for ‘Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope’

    We finally got the first trailer for Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, which leaked by accident on Nintendos eShop. We got our first look at the main antagonist, who surprisingly isn’t actually. Lumas and Rabbids fusing together will be the main catalyst for the game’s events. The cinematic trailer is quite promising and it’s still weird seeing Mario holding guns in his hands as he takes down familiar and new foes throughout the game.

     

    Not just that, we also got a brief tease for the game’s upcoming gameplay as well as a look at a brand new world. It seems the strategic gameplay will remain the same It certainly looks like we’re going to have another zany adventure at our hands.

    E3: New ‘Far Cry 6’ Story Trailer And Villain-Focused Season Pass Revealed

    Ubisoft has been hyping up the next entry in their Far Cry franchise. The sixth entry continues the trend to focus a lot on the iconic villain that haunts your journey throughout. This time around, it’ll be Giancarlo Esposito that takes on the role of El Presidente. Most of the trailers focused on the world and gameplay with some minor teases of the story. Now, we finally get a closer look at what the story will be all about and it seems not all is well in the household of the president.

     

    That is not all, as we also got the reveal that the first season pass will put you into the roles of the iconic villains of the past games. It seems we’ll get to re-explore the characters we once hated which includes Vaas, Pagan, and Joseph. The best part however is the return of Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon as part of the season pass.

    Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla has been one of the biggest games in the ongoing franchise. They just recently added the DLC Wrath of the Druids and now just announced the Siege of Paris DLC.

  • E3: New Look at ‘Marvel’s Avengers’ Black Panther Released Ahead of Square Enix Panel

    E3: New Look at ‘Marvel’s Avengers’ Black Panther Released Ahead of Square Enix Panel

    Marvel’s Avengers players have been anxious about the upcoming Square Enix segment from E3. Not only will it finally unveil the long-rumored Guardians of the Galaxy game, but we finally get a closer look at what awaits us in Black Panther’s upcoming expansion. It seems Crystal Dynamics is just as excited as the official German Instagram released a brand new image of the titular hero ahead of tomorrow’s conference. Of course, they are sparse with any details regarding the character, but that will change once the official event starts.

     

    It seems they wanted to integrate more of the purple that the Black Panther film highlighted in the game and the overall design looks amazing. If you look closely, you can even see his symbol on the chest. So far, this might be the best-designed character for Crystal Dynamics’ Avengers game. It‘s uncertain if this is the finished product that started with the concept art leaks from around nine months ago. There is a chance that this original design may turn out to be just one of the many skins that will be released.

    Overall, the design looks great and seems like it combines different elements from the comics and Marvel Cinematic Universe costumes. The mask looks very sleek and the detailing is really nice to add that element of royalty to it. We’ll most likely get a closer look at him in action and what skins he’ll get once he joins the film. Here’s hoping we also get a clear release date alongside an updated roadmap to see what the next half of the year has planned for us.

  • From ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ to ‘Halo: Infinite’: What We Hope to See at E3 2021

    From ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ to ‘Halo: Infinite’: What We Hope to See at E3 2021

    It looks like the first major leak ahead of this year’s E3 gaming event has already found its way online. At this point, it almost seems like a tradition and it is time to look at what we can expect from the next few days. The event will offer us an insight into the future of gaming may it be on any hardware developments and, most excitingly, new games. sadly, Sony once again pulled out of the event but there are many other heavy-weights with some curious plans. The yearly tradition also returns with countless rumors hitting the internet teasing potential projects that may or may not get the spotlight at the event. I thought it’s the perfect time to maybe talk about some things I personally hope to see during the event.

     

    Marvel-ous Showcase

    Black Panther Coming to Marvel's Avengers Game in War for Wakanda - Games Sport Sy

     

    Now, it seems that Marvel is gaining some traction in the gaming world. 2018’s Spider-Man kicked off a new console generation getting to experience the life of our favorite superheroes and it seems like it could be more heading our way. There is a rumor going around that seems to have some validity that the developer of XCOM is preparing a game that explores the Marvel world. Of course, there is also the confirmed Black Panther: War for Wakanda that will get the focus during Marvel’s Avengers entry in the Square Enix panel. Here’s hoping we get other reveals for what the game’s first expansion has in store for us with the king of Wakanda in action. Of course, there is also the potential reveal of Eidos’ long-rumored Guardians of the Galaxy game finally getting revealed. It looks like this year’s E3 is looking marvel-ous already.

     

    Ninten-Do Some Reveals

    The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild 2: Kurzes Update zu Entwicklung & neuen Infos

     

    Now, Nintendo has some major expectations surrounding its upcoming Nintendo Direct. It’ll be the last event of this year’s event, but it may hold some of the biggest surprises. People are still clamoring for a sequel to 2017’s Super Mario Odyssey but there is also the already announced The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild sequel. It seems very likely that the latest Zelda entry will get a lot of attention, but we’re hoping for some surprise reveals. Metroid Prime 4 seems to be stuck in development hell for quite some time. My hopes are also surrounding a potential legacy series making a grand return, may it be Advance Wars or Golden Sun. Though F-Zero deserves a grand return to offer Nintendo some much-needed iconic racing action. Most likely, we’ll see a lot more of Splatoon 3 at the event, but here’s hoping Nintendo surprises us.

     

    Xbox Changing the Gaming Landscape

    Halo Infinite | Xbox

     

    We all know that Xbox’s major showcase will be Halo: Infinite. Its grand return has been highly anticipated since they delayed the game to give it more attention. We might also get some grand reveals, but there is one thing many gamers are keeping a close eye on. Microsoft’s venture into game streaming with Xbox Game Pass has become quite the success story and it’ll be curious to see them expand it in new ways. Eagle-eyed viewers noticed the Nintendo Switch in the background of some Xbox interviews, which has many wondering if it might expand into Nintendo’s latest console. Of course, a personal hope would be the return of Banjo-Kazooie with a new entry or even just a remake of the original two games. We don’t know if Sony has some secret video planned to release during the event, but right now it’s looking good that Xbox might lead the charge into the future of gaming through their streaming offerings.

  • E3: Nintendo Leaks ‘Mario + Rabbids’ Sequel Ahead of Ubisoft Conference

    E3: Nintendo Leaks ‘Mario + Rabbids’ Sequel Ahead of Ubisoft Conference

    It looks like E3 may have started early by accident. Nintendo released the first look of the Mario + Rabbids sequel on their website with the subtitle Sparks of Home. The unlikely crossover game returns as Rayman‘s Rabbids enter the Mushroom Kingdom and spark a bizarre fusion of the two franchises. Strongly inspired by XCOM‘s gameplay style, it mixes Mario’s jump n’ run concept with strategy gameplay. The Italian plumber groups up with cosplaying Rabbids to take on unlikely foes and find out how their worlds collided. The sequel will take that concept out into space, as you’ll be exploring planets throughout the galaxies. Of course, if we are going beyond Earth, a lot of new characters are joining from Super Mario Galaxy, such as the key art teasing a Rabbid Rosalina.

     

     

    The official post also includes a sneak peek of the new worlds that are mentioned on the site, which promise a very colorful and zany adventure like the first one:

     

     

    You’ll once again be facing various bosses that may be familiar to long-time fans of the franchise. There is no release date stated but it seems to be eyeing a 2022 release. Of course, this wasn’t supposed to be readily available yet, as Jason Schreier confirmed it was one of the surprise reveals for the upcoming Ubisoft conference later today.

    https://twitter.com/jasonschreier/status/1403680577258246144

    Hopefully, we’ll get a better look at the game and some tears of what new additions have been added to the gameplay to keep things fresh. It’s still crazy to think that a Super Mario and Rabbids crossover would become popular enough to get a sequel and who knows what else this franchise may offer in the future. Makes you wonder when we get a Zelda + Rabbids game.
