Nintendo is experimenting with an increased price for their upcoming summer blockbuster, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, pricing it at the next-gen price of $69.99. Nintendo also clarified that it doesn’t plan to price all their upcoming games at this price, but that Tears of the Kingdom’s content and innovation is deserving of that price.

Many retailers have already tried offering some discounts on the game, but GameStop’s current trade-in offer might be the game’s best one yet. GameStop is currently running a promotion until May 20th, letting people trade in two eligible games toward Tears of the Kingdom, and purchase the game for only $20, giving a guaranteed $50 toward the new game.

GameStop laid out an entire list of games that are eligible toward the trade-in, with many of them being relatively new, but there are plenty of older games that are eligible too, even the original Breath of the Wild. It’s important to note that if the trade-in value exceeds $50, the remainder of that trade-in credit can’t be put toward Tears of the Kingdom, and will instead be put on a gift card that can be used on future purchases toward a different game.

It seems as though fans will soon be treated to the official reveal of the next Mortal Kombat game. Mortal Kombat co-creator Ed Boon took to Twitter with the question “Does anyone know what time it is?” with a video of a clock counting up and then the seconds hand skipping over the number 12.

This wasn’t the first time fans heard of another game in the long-running, extremely violent fighting game franchise. In fact, Mortal Kombat 12’s existence was revealed rather unceremoniously through a Warner Bros. financial call, where the game was name dropped and revealing that it will release in 2023. While it’s unclear when the game will be unveiled, it’s possible that it could make its first appearance during Summer Game Fest, which kicks off on June 8th and will be hosted by Geoff Keighley. Alternatively, Netherrealm could go rogue and host their own announcement. One thing’s for sure, fans most likely won’t have to wait that long to find out.

Developer Team Cherry has announced that the highly anticipated Hollow Knight: Silksong has been delayed once again. The game was initially set to release sometime in the first half of 2023 but that is no longer the case according to team cherry’s Matthew Griffin.

Silksong will act as a sequel to the critically acclaimed Hollow Knight, and was initially announced in February 2019. It was also initially planned for a PC and Switch release only, but since then Team Cherry has expanded that release to include both PlayStation and Xbox as well, with the latter also getting the game on Game Pass. Team Cherry explained that the game has gotten quite big, but haven’t provided a new release window.

Last summer, we got our first official look at Hogwarts Legacy. The RPG set in the Harry Potter universe looks to be incredibly promising but we’re going to have to wait longer than expected.

“We would like to thank fans from around the world on the tremendous reaction to the announcement of Hogwarts Legacy from our Portkey Games label. Creating the best possible experience for all of the Wizarding World and gaming fans is paramount to us so we are giving the game all the time it needs,” reads a statement. The highly-anticipated next-gen RPG will now release sometime in 2022.

Hogwarts Legacy is being developed by Just Cause developer Avalanche and will not feature Potter himself. The game is set hundreds of years prior to the arrival of Harry Potter and allows you to be whatever kind of wizard you wish. You can be evil or good, explore the grounds of Hogwarts, and see all the iconic sights to the Wizarding World. Before its reveal in 2020, the game leaked years prior with some footage.

The game will be entirely single-player and hopefully fulfil the fantasies of many Harry Potter fans.

“Your character is a student who holds the key to an ancient secret that threatens to tear the wizarding world apart. You have received a late acceptance to the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and soon discover that you are no ordinary student: you possess an unusual ability to perceive and master Ancient Magic. Only you can decide if you will protect this secret for the good of all, or yield to the temptation of more sinister magic,” reads an official description of the game.

Hogwarts Legacy looks to be quite promising so hopefully the delay will make it all worth it. Hogwarts Legacy will release on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, PS5, and PC.

Today, it was revealed that Ubisoft would be helming a brand-new Star Wars game. The game is in early development and won’t be able to be released until at least 2023 due to EA’s exclusivity contract with Disney. Given this news, many wondered if EA was done with the series entirely.

This is not the case, EA has confirmed they have more Star Wars games coming. We’ll likely get to see the series started under EA, Jedi: Fallen Order, conclude properly in a sequel or two. There’s also an extremely high chance EA will continue to develop Battlefront games and who knows, maybe we’ll see more than that from them.


This all likely means that Disney has decided to not pick any singular publisher for Star Wars like they did in 2013. This could result in more regular titles for the franchise as well as a diverse line-up. As mentioned, Ubisoft is already hard at work on an open-world Star Wars from the team behind The Division.

In related news, Lucasfilm Games has given Bethesda the greenlight on a brand new Indiana Jones game. MachineGames, the team behind Wolfenstein, will helm the currently untitled game. Due to Bethesda recently being acquired by Microsoft, there’s a chance the Indy game becomes an Xbox/PC exclusive but nothing is confirmed. There are next to no specifics about any of these future titles but the future is bright.

Could the recently revived Lucasfilm Games usher in a new era of classic Star Wars titles? Perhaps a 1313 revival, Force Unleashed 3, or KOTOR 3? Maybe, just maybe. We’ll likely hear plenty more about the franchise in the coming months and years.

PS5 Exclusive Returnal talks combat, Glorious Sci-Fi frenzy ensues https://www.gamezone.com/news/ps5-exclusive-returnal-talks-combat-glorious-sci-fi-frenzy-ensues/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=ps5-exclusive-returnal-talks-combat-glorious-sci-fi-frenzy-ensues https://www.gamezone.com/news/ps5-exclusive-returnal-talks-combat-glorious-sci-fi-frenzy-ensues/#respond Wed, 13 Jan 2021 15:10:10 +0000 https://www.gamezone.com/?p=308049 Housemarque shared lots of new details about their upcoming PS5 game Returnal.

Housemarque shared lots of new details about their upcoming PS5 game Returnal. Today, we learn more about the game’s combat and progression. Thankfully, we also get a nice new trailer as well. You can enjoy it here!

Despite being a PlayStation 5 exclusive, there is simply not enough talk about Returnal. A real shame, since with Housemarque, true legends of the action genre are at the helm.

The Finnish studio is well-known for awesome arcade action with titles like Resogun, Super Stardust Delta, and many more. But Returnal looks to be the studio’s most ambitious project to date. After years of spending time in the 2D and 2.5D space, Housemarque finally goes full 3D.

The matter of fact is that this shift makes Returnal instantly is more appealing to many more gamers. That doesn’t mean it lacks in action or beautiful effects. On top of that, the game also features an interesting science-fiction story that seamlessly combines roguelike elements into its story.

Each death restarts a time loop. But Returnal features a clever progression system that lets you keep some upgrades across runs. The more you play, the better upgrades you receive.

But none of that matters if the actual gameplay is any good. And Returnal promises the entire package here. You can get a nice overview of the types of weapons both in the new trailer and detailed PlayStation Blog post.

As expected, a range of futuristic weapons is available. But the brilliant part here is that combat doesn’t revolve entirely around projectiles. Many weapons also have unique mechanics and secondary modes. Combined, they add an extra layer of depth to the combat.

Rounding the package are alien artifacts and items that give the player additional bonuses. Both active and passive. Overall, Returnal is a highly promising title that should be on every PS5 owner’s radar when it launches this May 19th.

Lucasfilm Games confirms Open-World Star Wars handled by Ubisoft https://www.gamezone.com/news/lucasfilm-games-confirms-open-world-star-wars-handled-by-ubisoft/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=lucasfilm-games-confirms-open-world-star-wars-handled-by-ubisoft https://www.gamezone.com/news/lucasfilm-games-confirms-open-world-star-wars-handled-by-ubisoft/#respond Wed, 13 Jan 2021 14:26:40 +0000 https://www.gamezone.com/?p=308047 Huge news concerning the future of Star Wars games just broke out.

Huge news concerning the future of Star Wars games just broke out. Newly revived Lucasfilm Games reveals that Ubisoft is currently creating an open-world title set in the Star Wars universe. This marks the first time in many years that a company outside of Electronic Arts gets to play with the iconic IP.

The Division 2
Massive Entertainment from The Division fame is at the helm

The hits keep coming after yesterday’s reveal of a new Indiana Jones game. Today, Wired reports that Disney and Lucasfilm Games have big ambitions for the Star Wars franchise in the gaming world. And one key aspect of achieving that is to grow beyond the bounds of Electronic Arts.

Back in 2013, Disney and Electronic Arts made a multi-year deal that gave EA the exclusive game right for all things Star Wars. The result was a mixed bag. While the Battlefront series rose from its ashes, it failed to live up to expectations. Mainly because of excessive microtransactions.

EA just recently started to fulfill its promise with great single-player Star Wars games. We’re of course talking about Jedi: Fallen Order and Squadrons. Nonetheless, both in quantity and quality, EA failed to satisfy fans.

Disney announced just earlier this week the revival of the legendary Lucasfilm Games division. An iconic brand that is responsible for many of the best games of the 90s. Today, we learn that Disney has a lot more planned.

Ubisoft’s Massive Entertainment is working on a full-fledged open-world Star Wars game. You’ll best know Massive for The Division games. Hence, the pedigree for good open-world action games is there. We also learn that the same capable Snowdrop Engine used in The Division will be used.

While we know the developer of this elusive new Star Wars title, Lucasfilm Games hasn’t shared any other details yet. But one thing is for certain as of today. The days of Star Wars fans being at the mercy of EA to deliver great games is over.

Lucasfilm Games also states that there is ‘room for others’ when it comes to licensed Star Wars games. It looks like we can look forward to more studios creating games set in a galaxy far far away.

GTA 5 is probably the biggest game of all-time. It has sold over 135 million copies and is the most profitable entertainment product. Needless to say, the majority of gamers have experienced Rockstar’s open world crime game. Even if you haven’t, you’re probably familiar with one of the most iconic scenes from the game.

The second mission in GTA 5 sees Franklin returning home with Lamar when the two get in a comical argument. The low blows and delivery of Lamar’s lines have led to the scene getting memed to death, especially with mods. Players have added characters like Arthur Morgan, Kermit, Spongebob, and many, many more to roast Franklin.

After seeing the recent trend, GTA 5 actors Shawn Fonteno (Franklin) and Slink Johnson (Lamar) re-enacted the scene in real life. It’s perfect, it’s beautiful, and we couldn’t ask for anything better.

GTA 5 will be getting a re-release for Xbox Series X and PS5 later this year. The new remaster will carry various enhancements and exclusive content.

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is over a one year old but if you need a reason to play it again (or for the first time), Respawn has you covered. A brand new PS5 and Xbox Series update has been released, adding 60FPS and new resolution options.

The update will create a silky smooth Jedi experience. You can view the specifics below.

Xbox Series S

  • Framerate has been increased to 60 FPS (up from 45 FPS)

Xbox Series X Performance mode

  • Framerate has been increased to 60 FPS
  • Dynamic resolution added in the range of 1080p to 1440p

Xbox Series X Normal mode (non-performance mode)

  • Postprocessing has been increased to 4K
  • Dynamic resolution in the range of 1512p to 2160p

PlayStation 5

  • Framerate has been increased to 60 FPS (up from 45 FPS)
  • Postprocessing increased to 1440p
  • Dynamic resolution has been disabled and the game is rendering at 1200p (up from 810-1080p)

We recently wrote about the state of Star Wars games, noting that Jedi: Fallen Order was a highlight but the rest have been disappointing. Shortly after this, Disney announced they were reviving the Lucasfilm Games brand with a focus on things like Star Wars games. The first new game announced under the banner wasn’t a Star Wars game but instead an Indiana Jones game from Bethesda.

It’s unclear if Respawn will make a sequel to Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order right now. A recent job listing seemed to imply they’re currently working on a brand new unannounced IP.

Indiana Jones is one of the most iconic characters in fiction. His fedora, whip, and unbeatable charm make him a character we love, all these years later. The character will be making a leap to the modern era of video games thanks to Bethesda and MachineGames.

The developer behind the recent Wolfenstein games will lead the charge on this game, which includes an original story. The new Indiana Jones game comes as part of a new push from Lucasfilm Games to work with top-industry talent on brand new games. While most people assumed this would start with Star Wars games, the Indiana Jones game comes as a giant surprise.

“We’re developing a new Indiana Jones video game! As huge fans of the franchise, it’s a tremendous honor for us to create a brand-new Indiana Jones game with a completely original story. We’re very excited and can’t wait to share more in the future,” reads a tweet from MachineGames.

Todd Howard will be an executive producer on the new Indy title as well. Microsoft acquired Bethesda in 2020 with the deal set to officially complete in 2021. It’s highly likely Indiana Jones will be exclusive to Xbox or at the very least be a part of Game Pass on day one.

Similarly, IO Interactive also announced that they’ll be doing an original James Bond game following Hitman 3.

The game has no release date right now. A fifth Indy film is also in the works from director James Mangold (Logan, Ford v Ferrari). Harrison Ford is set to reprise his role in the film.
