    What Planet of the Apes: Last Frontier Means for the Future of the Franchise


    Image source: Planet of the Apes: Last Frontier via Facebook

    BioWare Re-Confirms New Dragon Age but Delays Anthem

    BioWare says that they are still working on a new Dragon Age game. I'm sure many fans have been a bit afraid about the fate of the franchise ever since the tepid response to Mass Effect: Andromeda.

It just happened to be panned by both critics and consumers alike, mainly due to its multitude of bugs, somewhat boring story, and poor mission design. Today's confirmation of more Dragon Age came from M...
