PlayStation 5 is on the way, but many of the biggest details have not yet been shared. The PlayStation 5 is launching this year--its release is coming sometime this fall--and now Sony has opened next-generation console's official website. The dedicated landing page doesn't feature many details yet, but it does offer a sign-up for a newsletter and a brief promise of announcements to come, including those concerning some of the major unanswered questions, including the system's exact release date and price. "We've begun to share some of the incredible features you can expect from PlayStation 5, but we're not quite ready to fully unveil the next generation of PlayStation," the page reads.

The Division 2's Big New York Update Is Just What The Game Needs

Finish the fight.        While the original Division took some time to define its world and action-RPG mechanics after its launch, its sequel The Division 2 largely made good on the concept of an open-world looter-shooter. Over the course of its first year, The Division 2's post-launch campaign fleshed out its gameplay and narrative set within a post-collapse Washington D.C, where you faced off against growing enemy factions and amassed more loot. But now, players are in for a return trip to where it all started: New York City.        Set for release on March 3 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC, Warlords of New York is the first major expansion for The Division 2. As a $30 standalone expansion that marks the beginning of Year 2 content, it focuses on a mission to retake the ruins of Manhattan from a cabal of rogue agents. Just before Ubisoft's livestream reveal, we spent some time with a new and improved Division 2 set in an eerie, yet still...

The Last of Us 2 PAX East demo will give players an hour to patrol with Ellie and Dina

(Image credit: Sony / Naughty Dog) The Last of Us 2  PAX East demo is bringing enough game to justify the struggle for a demo booth slot. Naughty Dog  revealed  today that it will bring an hour-long segment of The Last of Us 2 gameplay to the Boston convention: from February 27 to March 1, attendees will be able to try out a section of the game called "Patrol". This is the part of the game where Ellie and her girlfriend Dina head out of their home town of Jackson to clear out infected in the surrounding area - it sounds similar to the slice we got to try in our  The Last of Us 2 hands-on preview . Hour-long public demos for just about any game, let alone one as hotly anticipated as The Last of Us 2, are almost unheard of. It's a cool choice given its deliberate pace and the little bit of story Naughty Dog wants to reveal, though it does mean demo slots will likely be an extremely hot commodity. Your best bet at getting in will be to use the Experience Play...

Apex Legends duos return for this Valentine's Day

(Image credit: EA) Earn double XP with that special someone. Apex Legends duos is returning in a new Valentine’s Day Rendezvous event. You can play the limited time game mode between 11 February to 18 February. Teaming up with that special someone or a random singleton will net you double XP (up to 20k per day) for the duration of the event.  In addition to duos, last year’s “Through the Heart” DMR weapon and “Love of the Game” cosmetic banner will also be returning, at a discounted price to boot. Even more new content will also be arriving in the form of “Love Struck” and “Love Finder” charms. Although Respawn hasn’t confirmed an exact time for the Valentine’s Day Rendezvous event, if previous updates are anything to go by, a 1PM EST / 6PM GMT launch is pretty likely. It's been a busy time for Apex players recently. With the release of  season 4 , Apex Legends has received  a slew of new content , the update to World’s Edge has torn Capitol City...

Transport Fever 2 Review

This sim successfully arrives at its destination, eventually, despite a few leaves on the line. Over the years I’ve shouted a lot of weird stuff at my PC in frustration. My poor black rectangle has been on the receiving end of all manner of cursing, insults, and childish outbursts. None of them, however, have been quite as embarrassing as when I yelled "use my train, you pricks!" at Transport Fever 2. I was trying to modernise Scotland, you see (always a challenge, hohoho! Oh wait I live in Scotland please don’t hurt me). Part of this involved building a passenger train line from the Highland town of Fort William to the burgeoning metropolis that was nineteenth-century Glasgow. I got the line set-up easily enough, but those bloody Highlanders outright refused to use it. It appears the phrase "there can be only one" also refers to the use of post-industrial transportation. Several expensive ghost-trains and one tantrum later, I started to wonder if the pro...

Monster Hunter World: Iceborne Review

A thrilling new adventure, but it's not just the world that's chilling. If you're already a fan and want to know as simply as possible if Iceborne justifies its price tag, then let me put it like this: I had 200 hours in World before this expansion; I've racked up almost another 200 since I started it. So yes, there's a lot of bang for your buck. But if you're at all interested in Monster Hunter beyond a time sink then Iceborne complicates World in both incredibly interesting and deeply disappointing ways. Iceborne is a mix of new monsters, regions, mechanics and a whole new endgame, all geared towards veteran players. For those who dipped their toes in World or didn't see it to the end, Iceborne has almost nothing to offer. Capcom has made this for their dedicated fanbase, and to its credit, managed to offer up not just something that will satisfy the desire for new content, but provide a new structure for the game’s hunts that goes beyond simply...
