Using Ascendancies, you may personalize them even more while improving their endgame potential. Ahead of the launch of the early access, the developers have discussed key details about all 12 Ascendancies that will be available immediately....

The Apex Legends Global Series might replace the Dropship with a point-of-interest (POI) draft in Split 2, and pro players can’t reach a consensus on how to feel about the new potential feature. During a scrimmage with hisnew teammatesZero and Genburten, Imperialhal claimed, “ALGS has just forced us to play on a random draft POI system in a competitive lobby, probably the worst change ever made in Apex history.” The pro player added that the rest of the league was against the change, but that didn’t make an impact....

Although there were a lot of good contenders in ourXbox nominee list, only one could emerge victorious. The winner for Destructoid’s best Xbox game of 2024 goes toLike a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, a worthy sequel that anyYakuzafan would enjoy. If there’s one thing I learned as aLike a Dragon/Yakuzafan, it’s that these games are never condensed to a singular genre.

So far the next content drop is looking pretty great, as evidenced by our exclusive card reveal, the Xivkyn Banelord. So the Banelord is a high-costed card, but it comes with the powers to back it up. First up a 1-7 statline isn’t bad, especially when the Daedric beast is so defensive-minded and has the guard keyword (which forces enemies to attack it, similar to taunt in other card games)....

There are some subtle differences between the crafting system ofPath of Exile 2and that of the first game, and anointing an item has undergone a noticeable change. If you’ve spent a fair few hours in the early access, you must have noticed that there are lots of currency types, and all of them have their key functions. Distilled Emotions are a completely new type, at least to my knowledge, and they can be used to anoint amulets to make them more powerful with the help of passive skills....
