Bluehole, the developer behind PC-gaming sensation PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds ( PUBG ), has launched the site for its upcoming MMORPG title, **Ascent: Infinite Realm ** . The studio has set high expectations for itself with the runaway success of PUBG, which has consistently been among Twitch’s most-streamed and most-watched games since its early-access release last Ma
The largest city in the region, Los Leones features ample shopping, a skyline filled with new construction, and a glorious, golden-hued City Center. Players should secure high vantage points by exploring the numerous construction sites, and loot for gear in the cavernous, abandoned commercial buildings.

Bluehole seems to have an especially broad demographic in mind with Ascent: Infinite Realm . The trailer practically shouts that there’s something here for everyone: Dragons to hunt, flying aircrafts to pilot (and destroy), properties and communities to build, and more. It’ll be up to Bluehole, though, to ensure that it doesn’t spread itself too thin; that each element is sufficiently fleshed-out to warrant the repeated revisiting that maintains successful online games. Lightning struck once with pubg beginner guide — it remains to be seen whether it’ll strike ag
For the unaware, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds or PUBG as it’s also referred to as, is the king of the battle royale genre, a game type where 100 players drop into a massive open environment and must loot, shoot, and survive. Players can play solo, with a friend, or in a squad of four as they collect gear, weapons, and armor and attempt to outlast the opposition any way they can as the map gradually forces players into increasingly confined spa

Host and longtime video game journalist Geoff Keighley has outdone himself again for the The Game Awards 2017, a live event that promises to be bigger than any game awards program before it. And you can watch it all online, easily, and for free! 102 games and individuals have been nominated for this year’s awards, and some categories are voted on by YOU, the ga
The core concept transfers to the Xbox version, where players still play on 100-person servers and parachute in on the same main map (called Erangel). Currently the Xbox version is strictly third-person (players can change their perspective in-game though), and the gear and vehicles are the same. This version also already has the much anticipated vaulting/climbing mechanics (yes, this is a thing in 2017 we have to get excited about) and a pair of new weap
Even with the millions of copies that PUBG has sold, the untapped console market is huge, with over 60 million PS4s sold, as well as over 33 million Xbox Ones. Of course, some console owners play on multiple platforms or just aren’t interested in the battle royale genre, but with 93 million potential players, odds are that Fortnite: Battle Royale will be successful. On top of the user base, it is free-to-play and players are not required to own the original Fortnite game released earlier this y
It is a smart move by Epic Games to release Fortnite: Battle Royale before PUBG can get to consoles. It gives console owners the ability to play a battle royale game for free, and since the original Fortnite has received a pretty positive reception, fans familiar with the franchise name will be more willing to pick it

Just last week in Fortnite , Epic Games “accidentally” allowed cross-platform multiplayer between PS4 and Xbox One users, but then patched out the feature since it isn’t allowed by both Microsoft and Sony. Microsoft has been very open to cross-platform play, with the most recent example being that Minecraft players on Xbox One can play with those on PC and even Nintendo Switch. Sony, however, has refused to allow all cross-platform play except for PS4 and PC users. If Sony changes its mind, the community for Fortnite and Fortnite: Battle Royale could be h
All the nominees were selected by members of the Academy’s peer panels, with one panel for each award category. Each panel is composed of “industry experts” (mostly game developers or representatives of publishers), and the winners will be determined via a confidential voting proc
