I am eager to dive into Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment both for fun and for review (keep an eye out for that soon!) this weekend. I generally like musou games. I have reviewed quite a few during my time here at Game Informer, including at least one Dynasty Warriors, the first Hyrule Warriors, and both of the Dragon Quest Heroes games. I also reviewed the second Fire Emblem Warriors game for GameSpot during my time there. I am mainly just eager to be back in the world of Tears of the Kingdom, even if it’s a spinoff. I will…

It’s November 7, N7 Day, a day BioWare and its community of fans celebrate the developer’s sci-fi RPG series, Mass Effect. Sometimes, we get big updates; other times, small teases of things to come. This year, BioWare is using N7 day to announce that Amazon’s Mass Effect TV adaptation will be a “brand-new story” set after the events of the original Mass Effect trilogy, meaning Commander Shepard likely won’t be involved. BioWare also gave a minor update on its in-development untitled Mass Effect game, which amounts to: still working on it.  “The next Mass Effect game is in development, and EA…

Every day in 2025, Google processes over nine billion searches, with 46 per cent carrying local intent. Yet thousands of verified businesses languish on page two of the map pack because their review count stalls below the magic threshold of ten. Google’s own algorithm now dedicates 15 per cent of local-pack weight to review signals—quantity, velocity, star rating, and keyword-rich text—making fresh feedback the single fastest way to leapfrog silent rivals. The credibility gap is brutal. Profiles with fewer than ten reviews trigger an invisible penalty; Sterling Sky’s 2025 case study showed businesses jumping rankings the moment they hit double…

One of the most exciting superhero games on the horizon is Marvel 1943: The Rise of Hydra. Set during World War II, it shows Captain America crossing paths with an early Black Panther (Azurri, T’Challa’s grandfather) to stop the villainous Marvel faction Hydra. While we were excited to play it early next year, we’ve now learned that won’t be the case, as it’s been delayed indefinitely.The news came via a post on developer Skydance’s social media, which announces that the delay will push the game “beyond early 2026,” but doesn’t clarify anything more than that. It could come later next…

Grand Theft Auto is one of the most successful franchises in the history of gaming, so it’s only natural that people are eager to see the newest entry. “Eager” is putting it mildly, however, due to the fact that it’s been 12 years since the series’ last entry and developer Rockstar’s most recent game, Red Dead Redemption 2, came out seven years ago. When the game’s second trailer dropped, it took the internet by storm, and currently has over 137 million views, but was accompanied by a delay into May 2026. Today we learned it would be delayed even further. Grand…

Pokémon Legends: Z-A launched last month on October 16, with the promise of the previously announced Mega Dimension DLC on the way. In a new trailer released today, developer Game Freak has revealed Mega Dimension will launch on December 10, and it will feature a new Hyperspace Lumiose to explore, Pokémon exceeding Level 100, and more. In the Mega Dimension DLC, trainers will revisit Lumiose as spatial distortions begin to form around the city, according to a press release from Nintendo. “Donut chef Ansha and her companion, the Mythical Pokémon Hoopa, will guide players as they explore the mysterious dimension known…

One of the biggest eyebrow raisers for the upcoming Resident Evil Requiem was the surname of its protagonist, Grace Ashcroft. That’s because she’s the daughter of Alyssa Ashcroft, an investigative reporter and oft-forgotten character who last appeared in the equally overlooked Resident Evil Outbreak. For the many unfamiliar RE fans, this begs the question: Who the heck is Alyssa Ashcroft, and why has she suddenly become a big deal? To prepare for the next mainline Resident Evil game, we’re going to answer this tantalizing question. Resident Evil Outbreak launched for the PlayStation 2 in North America on March 30, 2004. Set…

Dispatch, the episodic superhero narrative adventure, has been a critical success since the launch of its first two episodes on October 22. This positive word of mouth seems to be working, as developer AdHoc Studios has announced it has sold over 1 million copies of Dispatch within its first 10 days of launch.The game, which stars Breaking Bad’s Aaron Paul as a down-on-his-luck former superhero working as a dispatcher for reformed supervillains, is created by former Telltale Games writers and sports a similar choice-driven narrative-focused format. Dispatch is an eight-episode adventure, with Episodes 5 and 6 dropping today (and every…

Unbeatable is an anime-inspired “arcade-flawless” rhythm game that was set to launch tomorrow, on November 6, on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC via Steam. However, developer D-Cell Games has delayed Unbeatable to next month, just hours before the game’s launch, citing a progression-blocking bug that it says must be fixed before release. “Unbeatable was supposed to come out tomorrow,” the announcement on the game’s Steam page reads. “That’s a scary sentence. Here’s a worse one: Unbeatable will now release on December 9. I hate that I have to say this. There’s no way to apologize for it that feels…
