Asmodee has taken a page out of the Pokemon playbook with its latest addition to the Star Wars: Unlimited TCG catalog. Intro Battle Hoth is a standalone experience geared toward new players of the official Star Wars trading card game. It's very similar in concept to Pokemon TCG: Battle Academy and Disney Lorcana: Gateway. The fast-paced spin on Star Wars: Unlimited is available now for $20.

"It's something I think Valve does not get anywhere near enough criticism about," Hall told Eurogamer. "I'm honestly disgusted with gambling mechanics in...

Call of Duty has spent the better part of three decades as one of the biggest video game franchises, and much of that is thanks to the popularity of its recurring Zombies mode, which has been a major part of the series ever since 2008's Call of Duty: World at War. Since then, the mode has appeared in 13 Call of Duty games, including this year's upcoming Black Ops 7, launching November 7 on console and PC. To celebrate its enduring popularity, Call of Duty Zombies is getting its own dedicated...

Final Fantasy Tactics has returned after 28 years to phenomenal critical acclaim in The Ivalice Chronicles, with fans both old and new reveling in the improved gameplay and actor performances that weren’t possible in 1997. As Yasumi Matsuno, the creator of the original game, wrote in a moving Twitter post, Tactics comes to players in a time much like when the original was released--a time fraught with “inequality and division” that may leave many feeling “robbed of hope.” While Tactics is a...

Video game crossovers and collabs are nothing new, but in many cases, they are predictable. That is not the case with the latest gaming crossover, as 2K has announced that Borderlands 4 is invading PGA Tour 2K25. These two franchises having the same owner is about all they have in common.
Season 4 of PGA Tour 2K25 will include a "Mayhem on the Greens" event that brings Borderlands to the golf sim. "Mayhem on the green incoming!!" Borderlands developer Gearbox said.

It's been three years since God of War: Ragnarok was released, and if there's a follow-up game on the horizon then Sony's done a good job keeping it under wraps. It seems like a safe bet that there will eventually be another God of War game, and if there is, Christopher Judge wants it to take place in Egypt.
Judge--who first rose to fame for starring in Stargate SG-1 as Teal'c--has voiced Kratos since God of War in 2018. The original games set Kratos against the Greek pantheon of gods...

Microsoft revolutionized online multiplayer in the console space with Xbox Live in 2002. And ever since then, playing games online has come at a cost for Xbox owners. But that might not be the case going forward with the next-gen Xbox system, according to a new report.
