It's the end of the year and as we look one more time back into 2019 to reflect on our lives, we include those times we were thoroughly entertained. Be it with friends and family, or flying solo, video games have always held our sway in one form or another. I mean, that’s why you’re here, right?
There have been so many great games this year, but we want to focus on those that we cherished the most.
Battlefield V, the upcoming World War 2 epic from DICE and EA, just held an open beta this past weekend, allowing eager fans to finally wrap their mitts around some digital weapons of yesteryear and play out the epic battles from history that are destined to eternally be retold. We took part in the battle and sunk our teeth into modes like Grand Operations and Conquest to see if this sequel could be the best yet.
Star Wars Battlefront II adds a feature-length campaign to the shooter’s suite of multiplayer offerings, telling the story of elite Imperial commando Iden Versio in the months following the Empire’s defeat at the Battle of Endor. The plot isn’t one that will simply into the background of the Star Wars universe, either, as it fills in some pretty essential pieces that help bridge the gap between Episode VI, Return of the Jedi, and Episode VII, The Force Awakens. We’re going to run down five of the most pertinent details here, so you’ll be all prepared for your next viewing of The Force Awakens.
We're very happy to announce that one of our newest wikis is for the upcoming game from Respawn Entertainment, Titanfall! The Titanfall Wiki is ready and waiting for the community to have a hand in making it as amazing as the story behind Titanfall's developer.
Respawn has an extensive history in the gaming industry. A long road and several hardships later, they now has a team of talented, humble people who are passionate about making fun games for the sake of it. Titanfall itself is just as impressive. AI is loaded into Microsoft's cloud, which will promise a smoother experience for pilots controlling their mechs and hacking into NPCs to fight for them. Titanfall will be released for both Xbox One and Windows 8.
Interested in becoming involved with the Titanfall Wiki? All of our wikis are created for and by the community. Anyone who wishes to contribute to the wiki is welcome to do so! Please see the help page to get started!
As Dawngate begins its closed beta test with patch four this weekend, we are pleased to highlight the Dawngate Wiki! While it is a relatively new wiki, the community has taken to it by storm with updates, expanded content, and information as soon as its made available by developer Waystone Games.
Instead of Dawngate being just another MOBA, Waystone wants to focus on making the genre more accessible to new players, while giving it a familiar feel to those more experienced with MOBAs. Waystone also believes in fostering a positive environment, as well as a collaboration with players, which includes constant gameplay streams on their channel. They also have open discussions regarding beta with the entire community and not just those who are participating in beta. Lastly, Dawngate introduces meaningful lore that creates an evolving story which unfolds during gameplay.
Dawngate also gives players Spirit Wells, which are capturable economy driven objectives. Spirit Wells spawn workers to gather vim, the in-game currency, for the controlling team. These workers can be farmed and killed off, though, allowing the non-controlling team to disrupt economy flow. Spirit Wells are contested objectives, which means that the the other team can take over and assume control!
Be sure to sign up for beta and then check out what the community is doing with the wiki! Like all of the wikis on Gamepedia, the Dawngate Wiki is created for and by the community. Everyone is welcome to participate! Not sure where to start? Head over to the help page for tips on contributing and editing!
