In Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2, the player takes on the role of a fledgling vampire in Seattle, who is caught up in the war between the various factions vying for control of the city. The player will choose which clan they will be part of, all of which have their own specific powers and weaknesses. Paradox Interactive has revealed that the second playable clan will be the Brujah - the clan known by names such as the Philosopher-Kings and the Rebels, both of which hint at the proud history of the Brujah and the form they have taken in the modern nights....

PAX East is finally upon us and there are so many outstanding games to check out from developers big and small. Over the next few days attendees will be able to check out over eighty different booths with developers ready to show off their indie games. Here are five great choices to check out, though one should aim to visit every single booth! The Big Con Set in the common background of a 1990s shopping mall, players take on the role of a con artist that needs to scrape together enough money to save the local family video store....

When I reviewed Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 last week, one of my key criticisms was regarding bugged skills. Some of them (like every Drone variant) can cause crashes for your teammates. Others, meanwhile, wouldn’t cause crashes because they’d magically disappear into thin air. You could deploy drones, turrets, portable healing machines, and the like, and they’d evaporate like nothing within a few seconds. These skills were working for the most part prior to the pre-launch update, although problems arose just as the game had a wider launch....

Today Ubisoft hosted the Assassin’s Creed 15th Anniversary Celebration and had quite a few news for fans of the franchise. The latest game of the series, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, is getting a second year of free content including “The Forgotten Saga” in the summer, a new rogue-lite-inspired game mode set in Nifelheim. At the end of the year, we’re getting one last surprise: a free chapter will be added focusing on the last episode of Eivor’s story....

Bless you, hackers, for doing the work that Game Freak should have done. As all of you surely already know, Pokémon Sword & Shield doesn’t have all 900-odd Pokémon in its National Dex. Instead, Game Freak removed nearly half of the game’s back catalog of monsters and ended the 20-year-long tradition of never leaving a Pokémon behind. Nevermind the fact that continuing this tradition made developing a balanced game unfeasible. Nevermind that it would eventually cause Pokémon to have thousands upon thousands of entries that would need to be stored and cataloged in just a few years time, making it virtually impossible even for the most dedicated player to truly “catch them all....

When The Last Ship season 5 premieres on September 9, 2018, its swan song begins, giving the TNT adventure series an advantage: it can raise the stakes as high as they can go and end with the ultimate flourish. In the middle of the action will be Sasha Cooper, played by Bridget Regan, who joined the cast in season three and has become an integral part of the U.S.S. Nathan James’ crew and its elite Vulture team of field operatives....

Warning: contains spoilers for The Flash, Buffy, Angel, Smallville, Agents Of SHIELD, Arrow, Supergirl, Charmed, Legends Of Tomorrow We rely on heroes to represent the best we can be, the heights we can reach and the morals we should hold most dear. But, like all humans (or aliens, or vampires), heroes also do pretty terrible things from time to time, ranging from being mean to their friends to almost causing World War III....

Polish developer Bloober Team has released an extended gameplay trailer for its upcoming psychological horror The Medium, allowing us our longest look yet at the game’s split-reality gameplay. Heroine Marianne as the titular Medium is blessed with several psychic gifts which you as the player must use to overcome threats in both the Spirit World and the Material World. She’ll need those powers as she goes up against the Troy Baker-voiced The Maw who can also travel between realities, where in the real world he’s invisible but also blind and will be hunting you down via its hearing....

Behold the new Rings of Power footage down below: Clocking in at just under one minute long, the new video ushers in an entirely new era of Middle-earth to our small screens. You see, The Rings of Power is actually set thousands of years before the events of The Lord of the Rings. So, it’s fair to say that the Middle-earth we know so well, will be a very different place indeed....

Flower shops and Valentine’s Day have a special link. Dean O’Banion’s floral arrangement was paid off on a cold St. Valentine’s Day in 1929. The garage at 2122 N. Clark St. had no heat. When the cops got there that morning seven guys were on ice. They had been lined up against a whitewashed wall like a firing squad. Almost a hundred bullets from submachine guns, shotguns, and a revolver riddled their bodies....

A new trailer for The Waylanders, showcased during IGN’s Summer of Gaming event, has revealed that the game will be coming to Steam Early Access on June 16th. We’ve only occasionally talked about The Waylanders in the past, but I’ve got fairly high hopes for it. This tactical RPG is set in the Galicia region of Spain during the time of Celtic rule — right up until things go a bit weird and you end up adrift in time, winding up in medieval Spain....

Street Fighter’s iconic warrior Ryu has joined Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS. Fire Emblem’s Roy has also been added to the mix alongside Mother 3’s Lucas as the three latest fighters to join the roster. Ryu’s battle stage from Street Fighter 2, Suzaku Castle, has also been added, as well the return of Dreamland stage from the original Nintendo 64 entry of Smash Bros. The announcement was made by series creator Masahiro Sakurai during a special Smash Bros....

Sports games can start to feel pretty samey after playing a few. In fact, as many major franchises release a new title with each passing year, some of them are pretty much exactly the same as the one that came the year before, and the year before that. Nothing new to offer up other than tweaked graphics and an updated roster. The sports genre isn’t one that needs to be as stagnant as it can often appear on the surface, though....

Sword Art Online: Alicization Lycoris has several missions and sidequests for you to complete.

With the Kickstarter for Nightdive Studios’ System Shock remaster now looking pretty likely – $775K of its $900K target has already been secured – the team has released some updated concepts for the game’s UI and HUD. Sadly these designs won’t be patched into the pre-alpha demo – set to be updated as early as today – but they do provide backers with an idea of the work going on at the studio....

If you love Tales of Arise, the popular JRPG by Bandai Namco will soon get some rather unique merchandise. The Japanese company Itaindo, which is well-known for this kind of product, will release a set of hanko seals portraying the characters from the game. If you don’t know what hanko seals are, they’re small wooden stamps that are still in widespread use in Japan, where they serve as signatures. There have been several efforts to phase them out in favor of actual signature, but they’re still rather deeply embedded in Japanese culture....

Were you a fan of Telltale Games’ Batman series, but dismayed that it contained some color? Well, that hyper-specific niche of an audience now has a reprieve in the form of the “Shadows Edition.” A compilation pack that bundles together both titles, this new re-release follows a similar suit to the “Graphic Black” filter included in Telltale’s Walking Dead series re-release. The main purpose of this new version is to create a darker ambiance to Batman....

With the console release of Terraria 1.4 hopefully just around the corner, here’s a closer look at the best Magic/Mage build available in the newest version of Terraria. The Mage build relies on high mana or max mana regeneration, a wide array of different weapons and accessories, and a playstyle that turns your character into a glass cannon. Getting access to the best mage items is more likely after defeating the Wall of Flesh, but there are still some interesting approaches to take with a mage build Pre-Hardmode....
