Bandai Namco is making sure the servers can take the strain, while players are downloading benchmark software to see how well their gaming rigs can run Blue Protocol.

Mortal Kombat 12got a verylow-key announcementlast month during a Warner Bros. Discovery earnings call. Still nothing on what to expect from the game from NetherRealm, but if you thought it might get some sort ofThe Last Of Uscrossover after Mortal Komat 2 appeared in the show, Ed Boon has got some bad news. Well, at least for Ellie fans. Actually, Ellie fans might be glad to see Boon’s reaction to a suggestion she appears in Mortal Kombat....

Thanks toGeorge R. R. Martin,Elden Ringhas a comprehensive history that we see snippets of in-game as we traverse the ruins of several bygone eras. This means there’s a lot to unpack before we even set foot in The Lands Between, but given that most of it is inferred through dialogue and item descriptions that are easily missed, it can be hard to pinpoint when exactly certain events took place. So, one fan has put together a complete timeline....

There’s a reason Everything Everywhere All at Once dominated awards season, including yesterday’sOscars, where it won seven awards out of its 11 nominations. Since its initial muted premiere at SXSW, it has gathered more and more steam through word of mouth almost entirely, leading to it being the most awarded film of all time, far surpassing the previous record-holder, Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. This word of mouth is not just casual recommendations, but enthusiastic, loud, public declarations of genius....

Another fed its people subliminal messages while dividing them into two factions, red and blue, leading to a violent civil war. And one had a faulty door that wouldn’t close properly. But as it turns out, this wasn’t just some sick corporate joke before the end of the world, but a carefully constructed plan....

Final Fantasy 16will be a very differentFinal Fantasyexperience from anything that has come before it. One of the leading reasons for that is the decision to step away from turn-based combat. As for what those of you who will miss that have to blame for the drastic change in style, look no further thanGrand Theft Auto. Producer Naoki Yoshida spoke withGame Informer(thanks,TrueTrophies) about the decision to move away from turn-based combat....

Final Fantasy 16is drawing closer, and as part of the final round ofpreviewsandinterviewswe’ve seen producer Naoki Yoshida whip out some takes. Known as the saviour of once maligned MMORPGFinal Fantasy 14, Yoshida taking the wheel on a single player entry was viewed with ample excitement from fans, representing both a return to the series’ roots and a much-needed departure after a decade of mixed results bySquare Enix. I agree with most of Yoshida’s observations, and empathise with the pressure he felt being known as the ‘MMO guy’ suddenly needing to prove himself in a different environment despite past successes....

Earlier this month saw Bard groups acrossFinal Fantasy 14working together tocreate a concert like no otheras they raised funds for those affected by the Turkey and Syria earthquakes. The community group FFXIV Bards & Bands was the incredible team behind Eorzea Rescue, which saw over 30 bands performing to raise awareness and get people donating. The original goal of raising $1,000 was smashed on the very first day, prompting FFXIV Bards & Bands to increase it to $3,000, and even this they sailed past by raising a total of $3,600 by the end of the event....
