Two months Ubisoft’s upcoming improbable trailer dialogue gameTom Clancy Presents (RIP) Rainbow Six: Siegewill miss its October 13 release date, the company announced. The closed beta will still start September 24, but the pushed back release will allow more time for the team to tune based on beta feedback (and make sure that game, you know, works; something of a challenge with online-focused launches). “We felt there are adjustments and improvements we can make, including improving the co-op experience across all game modes, weapon and gadget balancing, as well as menu and interface navigation,” Ubisoft offered in astatement....

The former publisher has stepped forward following Atlus’ announcement, asserting that UTV has “exited from all internal development” for the title. “While we are saddened to no longer be associated with theDragon’s Crownproject, we are very confident that the title is in excellent hands with Atlus,” stated Lokesh Dhar, senior vice president ofUTV Ignition Entertainment....

ForWarframegamers who are chronically online such as me, you may have heard of this “Green Banshee” meme going around, especially in the Subreddit. Where did it start? What exactly is it? We can fill you in on all the details below. What is Green Banshee inWarframe? The Green Banshee meme started after a Reddit user by the name of VaporTowers made a post on r/Warframe regarding a dream they had.

We answer The Question [Every week (usually Mondays), Destructoid will pose topical a question to the community. Answer it if you want!] The games industry seems to be rather fond of remaking the leisure products of yesteryear with fancy, high-definition graphics to bring them into the modern age. Are these releases introducing new audiences to the classics, or just exploiting nostalgia? Does it represent a creative drought within the industry that we see so many of these upgraded releases and so few original IPs?...

Activision is preparing to launchX-Men: Destinyacross North America tomorrow, and has released a trailer today! How’s that for a wacky coincidence? If you’re not in the know,Destinyis an action/RPG from the fine folks at Silicon Knights. you’re able to pick one of three characters and make all sorts of choices with them, hence the game’s name. Reactions have been lukewarm on the game so far, but we should be getting our review copy today or tomorrow and will endeavor to provide a summary soon....

CD Projekt RED reward moment-maker One of the very best moments of yesterday’s E3 opening was the sudden surprise appearance ofJohn Wickactor Keanu Reeves,who took to the stage during Microsoft’s press conference to talk about CD Projekt Red’s awesome-lookingCyberpunk 2077. Upon stating that walking through the day-glo-dangerous streets of the upcoming RPG was “breathtaking”, a random audience member called out to Reeves “You’rebreathtaking!”, which led to a cute moment of awkwardness from the Hollywood star, followed by his declaration that we wereallbreathtaking....

There’s absolutely no shortage of things to do and unlockables to chase after inRisk of Rain 2, but if you’re after the truly game-changing stuff, you need Artifacts. Artifact Codes are unique puzzle-type items strewn across the levels, but you don’t really need to hunt for them. You see,Risk of Rain 2‘s Artifact Codes are fixed and universal, which is to say you may take someone else’s discoveries and go ham with them without doing the legwork yourself....

So you’ve decided you want to be cursed while playingPhasmophobia. Despite being a pretty terrifying horror experience – especially for newcomers – Kinetic Games’ ghost hunting sensation has a heavy focus on detective work and deduction rather than just straight-up scares. Investigate first, piss pants later. That’s my motto (spoiler: it isn’t). The crux of the game is to use your powers of logic to successfully work out who the culprit is....

Final Fantasy 7: Ever Crisisis a wide mixture ofFinal Fantasy 7content. In addition to the original PlayStation game,Ever Crisisalso draws fromCrisis Coreandthe ill-fatedThe First Soldier.

But with this content in the game at launch, what characters will you play as inFinal Fantasy 7: Ever Crisis? As of writing, here are all the main playable characters inFinal Fantasy 7: Ever Crisis...

This is an interesting development Amazon’s started something new and interesting — it’s offering Prime members discounts on some gameswithout explicitly stating that it’s offering discounts on those games. Yeah, it’s weird, but Prime members benefit which they’re certainly not going to complain about. The only indication of this trend is a text box on the item page that says “Members of Amazon Prime qualify for a lower price on this item when shipped and sold by Amazon....

It’s been awhile since we’ve seen theRainbow Sixseries but it’s finally coming back in a big way in 2013 withRainbow 6: Patriots. The next installment is looking to do two very big things;Patriotsis trying to present a story that is echoing the current real world climate, and it wants to take back the “crown of number one online shooter.” It’s all a very tall order, even for a franchise as recognized asRainbow Six....

It’s ninja related Batman: Arkham Originsis no stranger to DLC, and alongside of thelackluster Season Passcomes the announcement of the first storyrelatedadd-on. I use the word “story” lightly, as the game is actually achallenge mappack with a narrative built into it. It’ll follow Bruce Wayne’s trials to become a ninja, while still keeping the challenge arena theme — so thinkBatman Begins. More ancillary DLC has launched today, including the Infinite Earth Skins Pack (with six new costumes for $4....
