In many ways, fatalities are the very essence of Mortal Kombat. Bloody to the extreme, so vicious that they’re actually hilarious and that little extra dig in the ribs when you’ve beaten a friend and you want to rub your victory in their face. So how does a game like Mortal Kombat 11, which already features Baraka literally ripping the face off of an opponent, come up with those pugilistic punctuation points?

In the latest Bungie blog, Destiny franchise director Luke Smith penned a letter on the game and it’s “bright future”. “In the short-term, we're continuing to build the content we’ve promised for the Annual Pass,” Smith wrote.

There are still those who are willing to get up at the crack of dusk and boot up their console to find him for you.

The third time is not the charm in Ride 3.

In a new developer diary, Ubisoft Massive detailed just how Dark Zones are going to change in The Division 2as players return to that PvPvE sandbox in pursuit of some contaminated but powerful gear.

Beyond the character customisation and Fatal Blows that serve as last gasp efforts to even the odds, Mortal Kombat 11 looks a lot more…strategic. That’s not design by accident either, as NetherRealm’s focus on the latest sequel was to scale back on the ruthless aggression of previous games and focus more on redefining that which makes fighting games so special: Space control.

Look, if you need a summary of Days Gone, here’s a quickie: Imagine the stealth of Hitman meets the action of Max Payne only you’re not an unstoppable bullet sponge and you live in a world that’s almost as hellbent on murdering you as the continent of Australia is.

Unless I’m mistaken, we’ve never seen Rangers suit up and knock the stuffing out of Rita’s goons and each other on home consoles. Coming in April, Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid aims to address that deficit in spandex-clad pugilism.
