When EA teased in June that it was bringing back its popular college basketball franchise, some wondered when they might actually get something to play. As it turns out, it's not going to be anytime soon, which is not much of a surprise.
EA Sports executive Sean O'Brien told USA Today that EA is "up for the challenge" of building a new college basketball game. Currently, the company is "in the process of trying to figure out how that could come together."
While it's still very early days...

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce announced their engagement on August 26, and it was one of the biggest stories on the internet that day. Many big brands hopped on the train to try to drive engagement and awareness for their own franchises, and this included some video game companies.
The Halo account posted an image of Halo's Buck and Veronica Dare, with the same caption that Swift used in her announcement, "Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married."

Helldivers 2 is putting up huge numbers at the moment, partially thanks to a major collaboration with Halo--but one of the iconic Halo weapons in the ODST Warbond is causing the game to crash. Here's what we know about the bug and how to avoid it.
The bug has been detailed under known issues in Helldivers 2's Discord, and concerns the ODST MA5C Assault Rifle. "When on the bridge, if all players equip this weapon from the armory and then the host leaves it will cause your game to crash," the...
Path of Exile 2's next update The Third Edict is set to add a whole new act, region, and plenty of other new content to the game--but it's the new asynchronous trading system that really has players excited. Grinding Gear Games has shown off the system's new in-game market browser, just days out from the update drop.
GGG explains in the video that the in-game trade browser wasn't quite ready to be shown off when the studio did its initial content drop for The Third Edict, but it's now ready...
In case you needed any more confirmation that Criterion is now all in on Battlefield, the Burnout creator and long-time Need For Speed custodian is now officially branded as "A Battlefield Studio"--leaving the future of the Need For Speed franchise in question.
As spotted by The Gamer, a user from the Need For Speed subreddit spotted Criterion's new official subtitle on EA's website, where "A Battlefield Studio" now appears under the usual studio logo. Members of the subreddit are...

It's been an extremely eventful start to Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4, with Epic already pulling this season's medallions from circulation for being too overpowered and ridiculous after two weeks of backlash. Fortunately, Fortnite is always introducing new ways of being absurd and over-the-top, and this week's update is proof of that, as it added two very silly new vehicles: the Roly-Poly bug, and Hammerhead Choppas.
The Roly-Polys are extremely easy to find since they're just lying on the...
The Mesa update in Peak introduced the Scout Cannon, and with it, the infamous cannon glitch. As the name implies, the Scout Cannon allows players to shoot themselves a great distance. The glitch, however, makes it possible to skip entire areas altogether, potentially getting to the peak without dropping a sweat.
The glitch was discovered shortly after the Mesa update, which introduced the namesake biome. The developers acknowledged it in patch 1.25.a, and applied some changes to the game...
Finding the Scoutmaster in Peak is a tough endeavor for multiple reasons. It requires patience, playing the game in an odd way, and most of all, the fortitude to go face-to-face with a horrifying enemy.
The Mentorship Badge achievement requires you to have a one-on-one encounter with the Scoutmaster, who might sound familiar, as he's the instructor who has penned the guidebook you find at the start of a run. If you're wondering where to find the Scoutmaster in Peak to unlock the badge...
For the first time since 2021, new installments in the Call of Duty and Battlefield franchises are releasing in the same year, and this has prompted the inevitable comparisons between the two long-running multiplayer first-person shooter franchises to resurface.
Early impressions of Battlefield 6 from its open beta suggest that Electronic Arts and Battlefield Studios have a hit on their hands, but Battlefield 6 is unlikely to dethrone Call of Duty this year, even if the sentiment around...
Sometimes, malicious actors infiltrate the security systems of the biggest gaming companies on the planet, take information from those servers, and spread it throughout the Internet. Other times, a company pushes the wrong button, and a piece of news gets revealed before the company planned to do so. Today, Riot Games made the latter oopsie, and we now know the ninth playable character in 2XKO is Blitzcrank, the hulking automaton from Zaun.
The official Riot Games website officially updated...
Earlier this year, former Dallas Mavericks player Luka Dončić was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers as part of a blockbuster deal. Now, Dončić has lined up a new deal of his own by guest starring in the Overwatch universe as his alter ego, Sharpshooter 77.
Blizzard has announced that Dončić's presence in Overwatch 2 will be represented with a 77 loot box giveaway, a golden basketball weapon charm emblazoned with his jersey number, a spray, and a player title for Sharpshooter 77. Overwatch 2...
In an unexpected statement today, Activision made a dramatic announcement that Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 will no longer allow players to transfer any Black Ops 6 characters, weapons, or skins to Black Ops 7. Many are taking this as a sign that Activision doesn't want Black Ops 7 to be overrun with the wacky skins that Call of Duty has become known for against a backdrop where competitor Battlefield 6 will only include "grounded" cosmetics.
In a blog post, Activision said it is aware of the...
In 2021, Marvel Studios attempted to expand the reach of the MCU with an adaptation of Eternals, a lesser-known group of immortal heroes. Kumail Nanjiani was cast as Kingo alongside Angelina Jolie, Gemma Chan, Salma Hayek, Barry Keoghan, and more. Eternals didn't earn enough to merit a sequel, and Nanjiani has revealed that he had a deal for a video game and a theme park attraction that never came to pass.
"I signed on for six movies, you know," said Nanjiani during his appearance on Mike...
Activision has made a key announcement about the Carry Forward program for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, and that is that it's no longer happening.
"Operators, Operator Skins, and Weapons from Black Ops 6 will no longer carry forward into Black Ops 7," Activision said. "Black Ops 7 needs to feel authentic to Call of Duty and its setting. That is why Black Ops 6 Operator and Weapon content will not carry forward to Black Ops 7."
"This change applies only to Black Ops 7. Call of Duty: Warzone...
EA has announced the official date for the early-access release of Skate, which will start on September 16 for PC, PlayStation, and Xbox players.
Fifteen years have passed since the release of the last game in the Skate series, 2010's Skate 3. After a lengthy hiatus, EA originally announced the Skate reboot back in 2021, this time as a free-to-play live-service game designed to attract both series veterans and newcomers.
While details on Skate remained under wraps during its early...
Every item in Peak serves an important purpose. Some are vital survival tools, aiding your injuries or keeping your tummy full to keep you climbing for longer. Others can jeopardize an entire expedition in an instant. Depending on who you're playing with, the latter can be dangerous--there's always that one player who won't hesitate to create a TikTok-worthy moment.
Here's the trick with items in Peak: While the game tells you its name, it doesn't actually explain what an item does. Some...
