As is always the case between seasons, Epic Games took Fortnite offline early on Friday to perform some maintenance and get the game ready for all the new stuff fans are about to enjoy. While the downtime typically lasts a few hours, Epic has encountered a problem that's forcing it to delay the start of Chapter 5 Season 2."Hey everyone, we encountered an unexpected issue during our maintenance and we need to extend downtime at least 8 additional hours," a post on the Fortnite Status X account reads. "We apologize for…

Fortnite is literally the gift that keeps on giving. With so many updates bringing big changes to the game, I don’t blame anyone that can no longer keep up with the live-service juggernaut. How could you after Epic recently added a full Rocket League spinoff, a recreation of Rock Band, and a Minecraft-like Lego adventure to the mix? For me, though, those can’t completely overshadow the classic Battle Royale playlist that made Fortnite such a hit in the first place — especially since that mode got some great updates…

What?Netflix’s Squid Game reality show The Challenge—a competitive adaptation of Hwang Dong-hyuk’s dystopic, anti-capitalist thriller—has seemed like a terrible idea, even for Netflix, since it was announced. Whoever came away from the show’s gripping tale of desperate people forced to confront their humanity at the childish behest of wealthy elites and thought “well, that was good, but what if it was just the game bits?”Squid Change Color to Hide…

Even if you’re an expert Call of Duty: Warzone player, your performance during any given match can be determined by your landing spot. Get unlucky with your drop spot and your team might wipe right off the bat. Likewise, a less experienced player might do well if they land away from the action. But with so many potential landing spots, it’s not always easy to pick a drop point, especially if you’re unfamiliar with the game. Thankfully, we’ve got you covered with everything you’ll need to know. Here are the best…

Since Call of Duty: Warzone’s release in 2020, Activision has released a number of battle royale maps — some of which have captivated a large audience. Think Verdansk, Rebirth Island, and Fortune’s Keep. Though, with the new version of Warzone (formerly referred to as Warzone 2.0), the maps haven’t garnered the same positive buzz … until now. Alongside the release of Season 4, Activision released the new Vondel map, which takes place in an urban Netherlands city, full of various buildings, a canal, and even a public…

ESports has long been derided as "not a real sport". But now, an Olympic-organised event is being dismissed by competitive gamers as not real eSports. Many long-time backers of big-money digital contests, which are edging their way towards elite-level recognition, are puzzled by the choice of games at the inaugural Olympics Esports Week that kicks off in Singapore on Thursday.Instead of well-established gaming titles, it will feature 10 simulated sports, among them archery, baseball, chess, and taekwondo. Aficionados are…

Specifically, the damage across both weapons has been reduced, making them both less effective in all situations. The news comes from the battle royale game’s latest round of patch notes, which outlines the new changes to the weapons. There are some major implications to those changes, though the updates aren’t as devastating as they might initially…

Six months after its initial release, Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 has evolved tremendously, with many new features added as part of major updates. Despite this, the game still feels slightly unfinished in ways, lacking some of the features that made the original so great. Warzone 2.0 is a complex beast that may steer newcomers away, but if players can learn to master it, the battle royale can be a lot of fun, especially with a team. But with so much competition in the battle royale space, is Warzone 2.0 worth your time…
