Bungie finally called Destiny the "M" word for the first time ever.

Bungie said that they were going to talk about the "next chapter of Destiny 2" today and talk they did. They even said that they are going to push Destiny 2 into becoming more of an MMO. Yes, they actually said the big "M" word publicly when talking about Destiny 2! That's a huge deal! Today's livestream not only confirmed today's earlier leaks, but announced so much more. Let's just dig right into it all.

Destiny 2: Shadowkeep is the next expansion for Destiny 2. It will...

This is assuming the rumors are true...

It looks like Destiny 2 will be making some significant changes in the months ahead. According to an early leak, or a rumor, or whatever you want to call it, Destiny 2 is making the move to free-to-play. Engadget apparently put their article up well ahead of schedule this morning that details the coming changes.

The article, since pulled from public sight, was read and given a nice "CliffsNotes version" over on the Destiny subreddit.

In short, Destiny 2 will be going F2P on all platforms. It will be renamed...

It's almost time to get medieval on some fools.

Come June 4, you and your friends can hop into the open beta for the medieval themed MMO called Conqueror's Blade. You are free to join in on some 15 vs. 15 siege battles, try out a variety of era-appropriate weapons, create your own character, and more.

The game at release will be a free-to-play affair with all of the stuff that usually comes with something like that. That also includes things like a Founder's Pack. Those that own the Founder's Pack, priced starting at $59.99 (USD), will get to play a whole week earlier...

Steambirds Alliance is a new, and unusual, title in development from Spryfox. The game sounds like very little else out there in the fact that it will be free-to-play, support up to 60 players in a game, and it's a co-op focused bullet-hell shooter. Like, you'll usually get games that have maybe one or two of those elements thrown together, but not all of them. They're also saying it's got some MMORPG elements included along with a heavy dose of customization.

The overall theme of the game is a battle between birds and cats. You and up to 60 other players try to take down...

Valve just released a new update for Counter-Strike: Global OFfensive today that should provide a nice boost to performance for some players. Included in today's update is an optional command line switch that can reduce CPU usage by up to 40%.

Don't forget that Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is a free-to-play game available on Steam. You can bump yourself up to "CS:GO Prime" status for about $15.

Here are the full list of changes in today's update. ...

In a world where Tetris 99 exists, nothing in the world of battle royale surprises me anymore. Case in point: Today, En Mass Entertainment announced that there is a crossover event between TERA, an action oriented MMORPG, and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, the popular battle royale game not called Fortnite or Apex Legends.

This collab will run for an entire month beginning on March 5 for the PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. This event will find Tera players "dropping-in and engaging PUBG-style BAMs." I don't know what a "BAM" is.

Questions about the "true" future of the Titanfall franchise were raised beginning this past weekend when we first caught wind of Apex Legends, the latest game from Respawn Entertainment and the latest title to be set in the Titanfall universe. One of the biggest questions was whether or not Apex Legends, a newly released and free-to-play battle royale title, was a phoenix rising from the ashes of Titanfall 3 or if Titanfall 3 was still coming.

Sadly, it's not great news. Respawn Entertainment confirmed that Apex Legends is all there is right now for Titanfall fans....

This weekend's rumor of a free-to-play Titanfall branded battle royale game sure picked up traction in a hurry. It first seemed to originate from a YouTube channel with a less than stellar reputation. However, since then it seems that other sources are now coming forth to say that "yes, there is actually some merit to this rumor."

Apparently, a free-to-play Titanfall battle royale game will be released this Monday. The release will happen on PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 at the same time. It will be released alongside a small media blitz from a handful of influencers...

In the spirit of just throwing a lot at a wall and seeing what works, Indie studio O'ol Blue Inc. has readied the release of their new free-to-play game, MINImax Tinyverse, for Steam Early Access today. It's got elements of competitive PvP. It's got 3D visuals. It's free-to-play. It's part strategy. It's part brawler. It's also a God-game. I'm pretty sure at this point, the only thing it doesn't do is make you pasta.




If you'd like, you can always find out more information at the MINImax Tinyverse website....

Valve just rolled out one of the biggest updates for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. It may not be the largest in terms of file size, but in terms of scope? Yeah, it's pretty big for a game like Counter-Strike. "What could it possibly be," you wonder?

It's battle royale.

Of course it's battle royale. This mode has been rumored for a while and now it's finally here. The new mode is called "Danger Zone" and along with this new mode comes some additional surprising news. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is now a free-to-play game. In addition, everyone that owned the game before today's move to being a F2P title have been granted Prime Status from Valve. Given that Prime Status was being used as a tool to play in an environment relatively free from cheaters and smurfs, your gameplay experiences over the next few weeks may suck until VAC d...

Bethesda's upcoming free-to-play mobile title, The Elder Scrolls: Blades was set to be released this Fall. Instead, the studio has officially announced today that the game will not be released until some time in 2019. Things don't really seem to be going well for Bethesda this week, eh?

Given that we are now less than a month away from Winter kicking off, time was getting cut a little close to meet that "Fall" promise. The official word of the delay came via the official Elder Scrolls Twitter account.

You know what? After the state that Fallout 76 was released in, perhaps it's best...
