Bioware's Anthem could be getting a new look sometime around the Spring or Summer technical design, director Brenon Holmes has hinted.

In the latest post on the Battlefield 1 blog, EA teases more information on the upcoming expansion for Battlefield 1, Apocalypse And then they promptly don't deliver That said, we do know what is left to come for Battlefield 1: Turning Tides, which includes a new trial, access to new areas for base game owners, a whole new campaign for[...]

Rumours of a HD remaster or rerelease of Burnout Paradise have continued to gain pace as a new listing has been found. A few weeks back, word of a possible Burnout Paradise HD remaster reached the internet, sending fans of the decade old game into a bit of a tizzy The game is well loved still to this day,[...]

It's genuinely really funny and if you haven't seen it, for sure check it out. The mod only works in the arcade mode, and the title can get a bit finicky about being online with mods, so only mess around with it in there That being said, it's a good little makeover It looks great, and[...]

As 2018 starts to kick into gear, let's take a look at the biggest, baddest games that are coming our way Last time we looked specifically at the biggest indie games to watch out for — this time it's all about the high-budget big-publisher AAA titles. Red Dead Redemption 2 by Rockstar Games is the long-awaited[...]

Up until now, though, getting them on PC was quite hard as the DLC wasn't sold on Steam or Origin specifically. That has now changed though as you can now buy bundles containing the DLC on the Origin store Sadly though, you can't pick each DLC up individually, and they are also pretty pricey The Mass[...]

This meant that friends couldn't mess around in the open world together, only able to do races with one another. Thankfully, it's now been announced that the feature is coming, although it is not certain when it will launch It was revealed in a tweet on the official account, saying: Online Free Roam coming 2018, Happy New[...]

This year we were running "improbable but true" stories, and this one was just too good for us to put down During the last few days of March, former Dragon Age series creative director Mike Laidlaw tweeted that Dragon Age 4 was "not a thing." That's right Not a thing But if it were…. Last night on Twitter, Dragon Age series[...]

Battlefield: Bad Company has been added to EA Access, the publisher's subscription-based library. The 2008 fan favorite has found its way into the EA vaults, meaning if you are a subscriber to the service all you need to do is log in and download the title If you aren't, you can pay $4.99 a month or[...]

It's going to be the biggest film this year no doubt, and it's already had a lot of good word of mouth (not that it needed it) It's now making its jump to the video game space, too, with a substantial update currently rolling out in Star Wars: Battlefront II. The Last Jedi patch is bringing[...]

The Game Awards always seem to have 'that' moment every year That one moment where something goes wrong or someone says something unpolished or something happens that will be shared around on social media the next day There are no second guesses for what that moment was this year. When promoting A Way Out, director Josef Fares went[...]

Quite often you will hear people asking for the next in the series, but it hasn't yet come in the ensuing 7 years since the release of the last one, Bad Company 2. Well, if you believe one AlmightyDaq (via MP1st.com) then that wait might be coming to its end The YouTuber does come with some credibility to his name[...]

First off, the game's director Josef Fares transcended the Gane Awards by going on a crazy rant about games, microtransactions, art, EA and what he thought about the Oscars all within the space of 90 seconds It was as magical and endearing as it was scattershot and incoherent. However, the game just got another bit of[...]

The Star Wars Battlefront II microstransactions story has run on and on, and over the last few days, it seems to have lost just a little bit of steam As people begin picking over the wreckage of this story, perhaps we will get more honest reflection and change Or perhaps we won't The cards[...]

So, this is clever, albeit (probably) illegal. Saturday night, streamer AJ Lester managed to broadcast the entire UFC 218 pay-per-view on Twitch The way he did it? He pretended he was playing the fight. Image courtesy of EA The stream is timely with UFC 3 beta live over the weekend, and the streamer capitalised on the beta and pay-per-view overlapping[...]

credit//EA EA DICE have just released the patch notes for Star Wars Battlefront II Patch 1.03, which they say covers issues they found as they wrapped up development Why they're just getting those patched now is obvious EA DICE have had much larger problems on their hands That said, the fixes in 1.03 are pretty darn necessary. To[...]

At this point, saying that this 'story keeps rambling on' feels insufficient because it really does seems it isn't going anywhere. As I posted earlier, EA justified selling power altering microtransactions in Star Wars Battlefront 2 by saying that purchases around customisable content would break the canon of the universe Well, as if in response, it[...]

Well, to add to that, EA CFO Blake Jorgensen has come out and said that despite the controversy and that the company is listening to the community, it does not intend to change strategy on microtransactions. Speaking at the Credit Suisse Annual Technology, Media and Telecom Conference (via GI.biz), Jorgensen said: "We're not giving up on the notion[...]

With the loot box controversy dominating the conversation around EA at the moment, you'd be forgiven for forgetting about the Visceral Games shutdown a few weeks ago The gist was that EA closed down Visceral, which was working on an Amy Hennig Star Wars game The outfacing explanation seemed to suggest it was because the game was a[...]

That's why now might be a great chance to dive in. If you hold a subscription to EA Access, that just became a lot easier too Announced on Twitter, the Deluxe version of the game has been added to the EA Access vault on both PC and Xbox One This means if you are a part[...]

EA has been in trouble lately with the fallout over Star Wars: Battlefront II loot boxes causing a couple countries and the state of Hawaii to consider restricting games with loot boxes as forms of gambling While the ESRB has already disagreed with that opinion, the trouble over Battlefront seems to have sparked players of other EA[...]

If you liked the look of the team, be it from the game or the book Battlefront II: Inferno Squad (which I've heard alright things about), you could be about to drop $400 for the ultimate bit of merchandise. Costume and prop maker Anovos is offering a helmet adorned with the markings of Inferno Squad, and it[...]

Yesterday, Democratic State Representative from Hawaii Chris Lee held a press conference to explain that the state of Hawaii will be investigating legislation to ban games like EA's Star Wars: Battlefront II from being played by young children, both in Hawaii and possibly pursuing it on a national scale. Belgium also declared today that the government[...]
