Nearly 50 talented artists recently joined together to create an amazing mural in tribute to the late Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama. Earlier this month, fans of anime and gaming alike were saddened by the heartbreaking news that Toriyama had passed away from acute subdural hematoma at age 68. Dragon Ball itself has spawned countless video games, but Akira Toriyama also had a hand in creating legendary titles like Chrono Trigger and the Dragon Quest series, and numerous other franchises like Sonic the Hedgehog have drawn influence from his work.

Blizzard Entertainment is making some significant changes to Overwatch 2, starting with unlocking every new hero in its roster.

In what's quite the shake up for Overwatch 2, Blizzard have announced that starting with Season 10, all of its heroes will be unlocked for all players. And this includes all new heroes going forwards, too, so the next hero Venture will unlock immediately for everyone when the latest season drops. Otherwise, there's changes to unlocking premium skins, earning premium coins, and some tidbits on what we can expect from Season 11.

Blizzard has revealed big changes to Overwatch 2, changes from how the game has been operating from the very beginning.

Blizzard’s Overwatch 2 will see its heroes becoming free for all players in Season 10. Overwatch Coins will also be earnable from the Battle Pass instead of weekly challenges, and a new Mythic Shop allows players to unlock past and present skins at their leisure. But what about the new game mode, Clash?

Blizzard is finally making it easier to unlock new heroes in Overwatch 2. This is big news, as players regularly complain about how difficult it is to obtain new characters in the live-service shooter. Currently, people get new heroes by paying for and grinding through a battle pass, buying them outright or waiting until they become available as a reward for winning a certain number of games. That changes with the forthcoming season 10, as the company will make new and old heroes available for free to all players.

Blizzard is overhauling the way it introduces new heroes into Overwatch 2 starting in Season 10, by making them free and immediately available to all players instead of locking them behind the game's premium battle pass or a progression grind, as was previously the case.

Blizzard has teased the introduction of new maps to Overwatch 2 along with changes for existing ones. When Overwatch 2 launched, it introduced the new Push game mode, complete with its own maps. Plenty more new maps have been added to the game since launch.

Tekken 8 players are getting really sick of newcomer Azucena talking about coffee all the time, as it's pretty much the only part of her personality we've been let in on.

The bar for the fighting game genre has been uppercut to astronomical heights in recent years. Exceptional one-on-one combat remains the primary bullet point, but other series have complimented their packages with robust suites of destinations, from cinematic story campaigns to comprehensive training dojos. Although Tekken 8’s fighting remains a treat thanks to some neat tweaks to its strong formula, the rest of the package, while respectable, falls short of some of its contemporaries.

It’s been almost 30 years since Lara Croft took her first snowy steps in the mountains of Peru. In about 30 days, PlayStation players will get to re-experience Lara’s first three globe-trotting adventures, with a fresh look and feel in Tomb Raider I-III Remastered on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. 

With less than two weeks before Tekken 8's launch, Bandai Namco revealed its first DLC character, a returning Eddy Gordo. Tekken 8's base roster has a healthy mix of newcomers and returning fighters from across its history. Some of Tekken 8's new characters have been fairly popular thanks to their stylish looks or unique fighting styles. These include the series' first Peruvian fighter, Azucena, a weapon-wielding Frenchman named Victor Chevalier, and a mysterious illegitimate member of the Mishima bloodline, Reina.

Tekken 8 is the next entry in one of gaming's longest-running storylines, with the Mishima family's successional feud stretching back three whole decades, but the series is still introducing all-new fighters after all this time. 

In September 2023, the eccentric, larger-than-life folks cast for Season 10 of reality TV show 90 Day Fiancé were revealed. Among them was now-30-year-old Kentucky resident Clayton, matched with 26-year-old Anali of Peru. While it wasn't immediately obvious, it's since become abundantly clear that Clayton is a hardcore Old School RuneScape player – a 20,000-hour type of hardcore player. The MMO's community pounced on the news back in November, and after a new episode which aired on January 7, Clayton's story has once again become a legendary meme factory.

Tekken 8’s final launch roster has been confirmed with the addition of newcomer Reina, one of three brand-new fighters coming in Tekken 8. She may have a very important role in its story, because she appears to be yet another illegitimate child of series jerk Heihachi Mishima, quite possibly the worst dad in fighting game history.

There are some things we know about solar storms. First is that they strike the Earth near the polar region, due to the magnetic field lines of our planet. We also know that this is why auroras are primarily seen in the high latitude regions, as due to high concentrations of charged particles in the atmosphere, oxygen and nitrogen get ionized and create these fantastic colors. As the charged particles move down south, the charged particles dissipate and auroras are not visible. However, the solar storm strike on the night of November 5 and early morning of November 6 might well have created history after sparking auroras as far south as the equator itself.

This year is shaping up to have a killer line-up of fighting games between the launches of Mortal Kombat 1 and Street Fighter 6, but unfortunately, Tekken 8 won’t be completing the holy trinity as it just got a new release date: January 26th 2024. Not too far away from 2023’s punch-a-thon, though, and to tide us over, publisher Bandai Namco dropped a brand new trailer at Gamescom’s Opening Night Live. Bears, arcades, and lots of kicking down below.

Bandai Namco’s Tekken 8 is confirmed to appear at Gamescom Opening Night Live tonight, and with its recent age rating in South Korea, a release date could be announced. However, it seems that may have already leaked, courtesy of @ALumia_Italia on Twitter, which follows the Xbox Store’s backend.

The gaming community is already known to be an impatient lot, but it doesn’t help that developers sometimes tease games for a long period without a clue as to when they will come out. For example, Tekken 8 has been doing tests and trailer releases for new/returning characters. Still, Bandai Namco refuses to give a release date or even a window for a potential release. However, eagle-eyed fans have noted that a rating for the game from Korea could be a sign that this may change soon. After all, you can’t rate a game that isn’t near completion, right?

The Invasion is ongoing in Overwatch 2, with players in the hero shooter taking on the forces of Null Sector in new story missions (assuming they paid the $15). For everyone involved in PvP, there’s a new hero in town – Illari, the last Child of the Sun. A new Origin Story is available, highlighting her tragic past. Check it out below.

Overwatch 2’s latest season, Invasion, is now live and marks the title’s exit from “early access” (Blizzard’s words, not mine). Along with three PvE story missions, it features the new Flashpoint PvP mode, a new Premium Battle Pass, a limited-time PvE event, and Illari, the latest Support hero. Check out her abilities in the trailer below.

Overwatch 2: Invasion, Blizzard’s biggest update yet for the free-to-play game, launches... right now (the content should have unlocked within the last hour) but before you jump in, here’s some final info about the update. Invasion offers up a trio of PvE story missions (which are being sold at a $15 premium price tag), the support Hero Illari, the new Flashpoint mode, Hero Mastery missions, Hero Progression system, and more.

Overwatch 2 season 6 starts Aug. 10, bringing a new support hero, new maps, and the long-awaited arrival of new story content for Blizzard’s free-to-play hero shooter. It’s a big content drop, with some of it free, and some of it requiring a purchase.

A new hero comes to Overwatch 2 with season 6: Illari, the game’s new support class character who hails from Peru and uses solar-powered abilities. She’s the 10th support class character, and she brings a straightforward kit of abilities to the Overwatch roster. Illari’s kit has a low skill ceiling that should be great for Overwatch 2 newcomers, or existing players who want to try out a healer.

Overwatch 2's has a second railgun character now, but instead of a DPS like Sojourn, she's a support who harnesses the power of the sun.

The big Overwatch 2: Invasion season kicks off in just a couple days, and Blizzard has dropped a new overview trailer, providing a peek at some new features they haven’t detailed publicly yet. The big reveal is Illari, the game’s new sun-themed Peruvian support hero. We see her bringing the fight aggressively with a large rifle and a sun-powered ability that seems to propel her into the air, but, again, she’s a support hero, so we know some healing abilities are also part of her kit. Look for more info on her when Invasion launches in a couple of days. For now, you can check out the new Overwatch 2: Invasion trailer, below.

Overwatch 2’s next hero, Illari, arrives Aug. 10 alongside one of Blizzard Entertainment’s biggest updates to the free-to-play shooter, a content drop called Invasion. A new look at Overwatch 2: Invasion gives fans a first taste of Illari in action; she’s a support hero of Peruvian origin, and she’s armed with a massive solar-powered gunblade and a unique ability to heal her teammates.

EVO 2023 has come and gone over the weekend and there was some new revealed for Tekken 8. Unfortunately, that news is not a release date as that has yet to be given for the title. However, a returning fighter and a brand new fighter were revealed, as only returning fighters have been announced so far. Harada and Michael Murray would make these announcements on stage during the EVO 2023 event. These two additions also go along with the addition of fighter Claudio Serafino that was added just a few weeks ago. These two gameplay trailers also show off some unannounced stage locations, and some of these really bring out the detail of the Unreal Engine 5.

EVO 2023 was over the weekend, and as you can imagine, it was one of the biggest gaming events around, with a massive crowd of fans eagerly awaiting all the great action that was to occur. But as those same fans know, the show was also in the prime position to drop some information on future titles that would make their EVO debut. One such title was Tekken 8.

Azucena is an all-new character in the series, while Raven returns from Tekken 6. In this article, we will dive into the design of Azucena and Raven, as well as a behind-the-scenes look.

EVO 2023 had some good news for Tekken 8 fans as it was revealed that Raven will be returning for this latest entry alongside a new fighter named Azucena the Peruvian coffee queen.

Transformers producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura knows how to roll the dice. During a tenure as an executive at Warner Bros. Pictures, he snatched up the film rights to Harry Potter and threw an exorbitant budget at two indie filmmakers to make something called — checks notes — “The Matrix.” When he went independent in the 2000s, di Bonaventura lured none other than Michael Bay to take the long-gestating Transformers over the finish line. Cut to 16 years and seven sequels later, and the producer is still gambling on the robots in disguise.
