Dragon Age: Dreadwolf will pick up on the events of Dragon Age: Inquisition as it will bring back a former companion and love interest, Solas, as the titular Dread Wolf. Unfortunately, Solas’ return isn’t worth celebrating as he will serve as the antagonist of the next game. This confirms an earlier tease back in 2018 when Solas, still voiced by Gareth David-Lloyd, said, “So, you have found me at least....

However, it appears that EA is also working with Disney on one of its other more popular properties. Specifically, Marvel.

EA added that many of the studios under its umbrella are working on exciting games and that it will reveal them in due time....
What kind of games is Epic Games Store giving away now? For the better part of the past two years, the Epic Games Store has made it a point to give away games constantly. Sure, not all of them are noteworthy, but a free game is a free game. However, Epic just upped the ante for the holiday season by giving a new game every day, starting with Shenmue III. But, you’d have to be fast....
Case in point, the Entertainment Software Rating Board, otherwise more commonly known as the ESRB. For as long as we can remember, the ESRB and its equivalents from around the globe, have confirmed the existence of games long before they were announced by their respective developers or publishers. In recent weeks, such games include Castlevania Advance Collection, the PS5 version of The Medium, and id Software’s Project 2021B. Now, it seems like the ESRB has leaked a big one: Ghost of Tsushima: Director’s Cut....
McGregor last portrayed Luke and Anakin Skywalker’s mentor on the big screen in 2005. However, fans still remember him for his masterful portrayal of the legendary Jedi Master.

Although Disney has not confirmed a release date for the Star Wars spin-off yet, McGregor just confirmed that filming for the series has wrapped up....

What Is Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout? Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout was one of the biggest and most successful games of 2020. This colorful battle royale game is heavily inspired by the wackiness of the Japanese game show Takeshi’s Castle and the classic British game show “It’s a Knockout”. The game starts with 60 participants, who are eliminated as the game progresses in different stages and game styles, until one remains and is crowned the winner....
Fall Guys was released last August 4, 2020, but only to limited platforms, being PC and the PlayStation 4. During this time, Mediatonic has released several updates of the game which included seasons and in-game events that share characteristics with other games’ “battle passes”. As of today, Fall Guys has been updated to version 3.5 which has spiced up the game by adding 40 variations of existing levels and a whole new level as well as introducing the digital ticker, Fall Feed....
After formally unveiling Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and revealing that it is headed to Steam, the controversial publisher came bearing bad news: the new Call of Duty title will cost $70 when it arrives on PC. With the announcement, Modern Warfare 2 now joins Square Enix’s Final Fantasy VII Remake (an Epic Games Store exclusive) as the only AAA PC games to sell for $70. The rest of the market still follows the decades-old $60 price point....
The accomplished director’s choice to adapt only the first half of the book was a risky one where pandemic conditions made the success of the movie - and thus the possibility of the second part - uncertain. Luckily, audiences flocked to the production both in theatres and streaming platforms, so the continuation recieved the green light. One side effect of adapting half the book is that Villeneuve had to decide on where to split the story, and what elements to leave out....
Wrath of the Druids dropped on May 13, taking players on an adventure throughout Ireland with a conflict against the Children of Danu cult front and center. Unfortunately, those who were expecting the DLC to further the overarching story of the base game were left disappointed. Specifically, it did not tie to The Hidden Ones, which are essentially the precursors to the brotherhood of the Assassins. Because of this, fans hoped that the next DLC would change things....
To make matters worse, the Federal Trade Commission has moved to sue Microsoft in an attempt to block its acquisition of Activision Blizzard. The commissioners voted 3-1 in favor of taking legal action against Microsoft. Republican Commissioner Christine S. Wilson was the sole commissioner voting against the action. The FTC said that the deal is illegal since it would give Microsoft “the ability and increased incentive to withhold or degrade Activision’s content in ways that substantially lessen competition—including competition on product quality, price, and innovation....
After being absent from the MCU and other live-action adaptations based on the popular Marvel comic books since 2019 following his death a year earlier, Stan Lee is coming back to the big screen. The Hollywood Reporter reports that Marvel Studios has signed a 20-year deal with Stan Lee Universe, Lee’s company that he founded before he passed away in 2018. This newly-inked agreement will give Marvel Studios, and in turn, Disney, permission to license Stan Lee’s name and likeness for “future feature films and television products, as well as Disney theme parks, various ’experiences’ and merchandising....
If it’s any consolation, Sony did give God of War fans something to chew on for a while. After giving the sequel a name and a trailer at last year’s State of Play event, Sony released God of War to the PC, much to the delight of fans. Still, gamers can’t help but wonder if God of War: Ragnarok will be delayed for the second year in a row. But, if the recent reports are to go by, Kratos’ eventual showdown with Thor and team-up with Tyr won’t be delayed at all - it will be here within the next four months....
Who could have guessed? Announced on the Newswire with some really stylish pieces of remixed artwork used to promote the games back in the day, this official acknowledgement of the remasters doesn’t actually reveal a whole lot of new information - though a few tidbits did come to light. October also marks the 20th anniversary of GTA 3, which is the event this whole release is centered around. This marked the beginning of the 3D era, which really led to the franchise taking off and cementing itself as a mainstream pillar of the gaming medium....
Is Rockstar ever going to announce GTA VI? At this point, we don’t know what’s more amazing. The fact that it’s been 8 years since Rockstar Games released GTA 5 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 or that it has been 8 years since a new GTA game was released. Although we suppose that the latter is less amazing and more disappointing. Rockstar is currently under heavy fire from fans....
What are critics saying about Halo Infinite’s campaign? Audiences have already had a chance to play Halo Infinite’s free-to-play multiplayer campaign for a while, so in terms of gameplay, the single-player campaign won’t come with that many surprises.

Reviewers are describing Halo Infinite’s single-player campaign as a return to form for the franchise while remaining accessible for beginners....
