Boss fights are spectacular in Dragon Age: The Veilguard

Sep 25, 2024, 09:30 Fyra Frost News

Dragons are as fearsome as it gets, but there are even worse threats in Dragon Age The Veilguard.

Despite the initial doubts about the game caused by the significant differences with its predecessors in gameplay mechanics, Dragon Age: The Veilguard is gaining momentum ahead of its launch. BioWare has changed many aspects of the franchise for this game. The lack of an open world to explore in a game that shifts to a mission-based structure opens the door to an experience where narrative gains relevance. Of course, this change doesn't necessarily mean that the...

A new spin-off will surprise the fans of the Yakuza series with the return of Goro Majima as a ruthless pirate.

The Yakuza series has changed quite a bit in recent years, especially with the release of Yakuza Like a Dragon.

However, far from having a negative impact on the series, the release of such a game boosted its popularity....

Sep 20, 2024, 18:32 Fyra Frost News

It looks like Dragon Age: The Veilguard could be BioWare's ticket to redeem itself after the Anthem incident.

The sci-fi game didn't meet the expectations it generated, and the developer gave up on it too fast and left many players quite annoyed in the process....

Nintendo finally takes legal action against Palworld

Sep 20, 2024, 11:00 Fyra Frost

The possible launch of Palworld on PS5 may have been the trigger for Nintendo's counterattack.

When Palworld was released, everyone assumed that Nintendo and The Pokémon Company were going to initiate a lawsuit against Pocketpair. However, months passed and there was no news about any movement from the owners of Pokémon. Not only this was quite surprising because it was pretty obvious that the Pals in Pokectpair's survival video game were "heavily inspired" by some creatures present in Pokémon games, but also because Nintendo has a long history of relentlessly confronting...

The sequel to Frostpunk lines up for a big launch aiming to become one of the best strategy games of 2024.

There were some doubts when the original Frostpunk was released.

While Activision has been adventuring the boons and goods of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 ahead of the upcoming release, Electronic Arts has remained silent about the Battlefield series. Battlefield 2042 is still in action although its final season kicked off earlier this year.

Blizzard boasts impressive earnings with Diablo IV microtransactions

Sep 16, 2024, 16:00 Fyra Frost News

Despite the criticism about many aspects of the game, Blizzard is racking up a lot of cash from Diablo 4 players.

There is nothing new in video game developers and publishers earning a lot of money by selling digital items and services via an in-game shop. The microtransaction model is widely extended and it has proven to be more profitable and compatible with other types of monetization options, like, for example, subscription services on classic MMORPGs. However, some big numbers can still raise some eyebrows, especially when talking about important franchises like Diablo. The latest installment in the popular ARPG series from...

More players than ever decided to give the upcoming Call of Duty shooter a try and the veredict was quite positive.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has not been exempt from controversy ahead of its launch.

However, it does not seem to be such a bad idea from the point of view of those not pre-ordering as they avoid possible spoilers. It's not that the future...

There is no early access for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6

Sep 10, 2024, 21:00 Fyra Frost News

Forget about playing the game ahead of release other than in the beta events organized by Activision.

Early access is a hot theme this summer with many games allowing players to play a few days ahead of the release date just by buying a more expensive edition.
