Through its many sequels, the Dynasty Warriors series has taken players back in time to the historical battlefields of China and, well, let them all out brawl. Now players are getting the chance to hack-and-slash using their smartphones in Dynasty Warriors: Unleashed, the series' first mobile game. Get a look in the trailer below:
The game lets you play as one of the 48 characters from the console series and embark on quests. Like in previous games, these quests involve your character using their powerful, larger-than-life weapons to conquer hordes of enemies on the battlefield. Players will also use strategy to promote generals, build armies, and unlock additional characters. The game's different modes include:
Conquest Mode - Challenge one or multiple players in the campaign
Skirmish - Battle in real-time with up to four players
Boss Fights - Skip straight to the boss fights, by yourself or in co-op mode
Dynasty Warriors: Unleashed also features a variety of multiplayer modes, including cooperative play and real-time PvP matches like Raid Mode, where you steal fragments from your opponents, and War Supply, where you occupy mines and gather resources to beat other players.
The game also promises "detailed, stylized graphics [that] keep the central focus on the action, running smoothly even as dozens of enemy units fill the screen." It is now available as a free download on iOS and on Android (with many in-game purchases of items and currency available).
The next superhero to get her own movie will be Batgirl, and there's reportedly some major talent set to helm the project.
Joss Whedon is "nearing a deal" to serve as the film's writer, director, and producer, according to a new report by Variety. The move would see Whedon going from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, where he wrote and directed The Avengers and Avengers: Age of Ultron, to working on a DC property.
In addition to his work on the Avengers films, Whedon is also known as the creator of TV shows such as Firefly, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Agents of SHIELD.
Variety states this only came together in the last month, and as such, no other producers are attached at this point. It would be DC's second standalone female superhero movie, following the upcoming Wonder Woman, which releases in June. DC is also at work on a Gotham City Sirens movie starring a number of female supervillains.
HBO has released a new trailer for Game of Thrones Season 7, ahead of the acclaimed series' return on July 16. The video features Daenerys Targaryen in the Iron Islands, which makes sense given her allegiance with the Greyjoys at the end of Season 6. Cersei Lannister, meanwhile, takes a seat on the Iron Throne, likely filling the power vacuum left after the explosive end to the previous season. Finally, Jon Snow looks to be in Winterfell, brooding as always.
The trailer ends by pulling out of the Night's King eye, showing that the White Walkers will play a big role in the upcoming season. HBO also included a tag alongside the video that reads, "Fear is for the winter."
When Game of Thrones Season 7 begins in July, GameSpot of Thrones--GameSpot's companion show--will also return. You can get caught up on the last season of GameSpot of Thrones on YouTube here.
Today's news confirmed an open beta is coming to all platforms this summer, with those who preorder getting in first. The game itself then launches on September 8. Although Destiny wasn't available on PC, the sequel has been confirmed for the platform alongside the expected Xbox One and PS4 versions.
Here's the basic premise of the game, as described by Bungie: "Humanity's last safe city has fallen to an overwhelming invasion force led by Ghaul, the imposing commander of the brutal Red Legion. He has stripped the city's Guardians of their power, and forced the survivors to flee. You will venture to mysterious, unexplored worlds of our solar system to discover an arsenal of weapons and devastating new combat abilities. To defeat the Red Legion and confront Ghaul, you must reunite humanity's scattered heroes, stand together, and fight back to reclaim our home."
Today's trailer doesn't feature any gameplay; that will be coming as part of a livestream scheduled for May 18.
Destiny 2 will have a season pass called the Expansion Pass that includes "Expansion I and Expansion II, offering brand new story missions, cooperative activities, competitive multiplayer, and a wealth of new weapons, armor, and gear."
The description stating that competitive multiplayer--and not competitive multiplayer maps--are included makes it sound as if Crucible isn't included in the base game. That might very well be a typo, but we've followed up with Activision to clarify and will report back when we know more.
Besides the base game, there will be several different special editions. A Digital Deluxe Edition comes with a Legendary sword, emote, and Cabal-themed emblem. The Limited Edition comes with the game, a steelbook case, the Expansion Pass, and various physical and digital bonuses. The Collector's Edition (pictured in the gallery above) comes with all of that plus additional physical bonuses, including a messenger bag/backpack combo and a solar-powered USB charger.

Planescape: Torment is getting remastered for the ages: the classic role-playing game will be re-released on April 11 with improved gameplay, a better soundtrack, and 4K resolution. You can get a look at the brand new trailer above.
The game was released in 1999 to critical acclaim. Since then, it's garnered many lifelong fans and taken its place among the best RPGs of all time (GameSpot even named it one of the 'Greatest Games of All Time'). Beamdog, the publisher behind the new Enhanced Edition, has partnered with Planescape: Torment's original lead designer Chris Avellone. Together, they've curated a series of gameplay updates, bug fixes, and enhancements. Here's what's new in the remaster:
New interface rebuilt for 4K resolution
No loading times between areas
A remastered musical score
A whole host of gameplay tweaks. Including quickloot, the ability to zoom, a floating combat log, and support for widescreen
The ability to turn off these new features, if you're looking to relive 1999 and play the game in a more authentic form.
Planescape: Torment's story follows an immortal being known as "The Nameless One." Much of the game's lore comes from the Dungeons & Dragons universe, while the unorthodox plot takes players on a journey to uncover the being's lost memories and figure why they cannot die.
"The game told a very unusual story with plenty of twists and turns," wrote GameSpot's Andrew Park in 2006.
"Unlike in most other fantasy games, you weren't a handsome hero in shining armor looking to save the world; you were a grotesque character in a hostile and bizarre place just trying to find out who you really were. Because so much of the character's story came from your own choices and interpretations, you would eventually make the Nameless One's story your own."
Planescape: Torment will cost US $19.99 when it's released. iOS and Android releases are coming soon too.
After the release of a teaser image and trailer earlier this week, Destiny 2 has gotten its official reveal trailer.
It shows returning characters Zavala and Cayde talking about the loss of Earth's Last City, intermixing humor and an inspirational speech. (Ikora Rey makes a brief appearance, too.) Check it out above.
Bungie also announced the game's release date (September 8) and a lot more. You can read all about that here. A livestream on May 18 will show the first gameplay.
Atlus has provided a rundown on all of the DLC that will be rolled for Persona 5 in the coming weeks, and while none of it appears to be meaningful, game-changing stuff, there is a lot of it.
We already knew about much of the DLC, but this new schedule highlights even more. The most exciting additions remain crossover content, such as the Persona 3 and Persona 4 packs that add outfits and battle music from those games.
There are crossovers with other Atlus games as well, including Shin Megami Tensei IV and Catherine. Besides the free stuff, prices range from $3 to $7. You certainly won't be left lacking ways to throw extra money at the RPG.
In addition to everything below, Atlus will release a number of character-specific theme and avatar sets for PS4 throughout April that cost $2 each. Character-specific PS3 themes will also be released for $1 each.

Telltale Games today released the first trailer for its Guardians of the Galaxy series, which premieres in April with the first of five episodes.
The trailer shows off main characters Star-Lord, Gamora, Drax, Rocket, and Groot going on an all-new adventure separate from the film series. The story picks up with the Guardians finding "an artifact of unspeakable power" that an evil force wants to claim for her own.
Episode 1, Tangled Up In Blue, premieres on April 18, with the remaining four to follow. The first episode costs $5, while there will be a $30 physical disc version (providing access to the first episode and the further four as they're released) available starting on May 2 in North America.
Here is the voice cast for Telltale's Guardians of the Galaxy series:
As for the Guardians of the Galaxy movie franchise, the upcoming sequel, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, comes out in May. A new trailer debuted recently, and you can check out our breakdown here.
The latest trailer for Injustice 2 has been released, and this one puts the spotlight on the bad guys, revealing two new ones in the process.
Four of the game's villains are featured in the video (above), each of which gets some time to show off what they can do. While Gorilla Grodd and Bane are not new, we also get to see Scarecrow and Captain Cold, who are new additions to the roster.
Captain Cold, as you'd expect, freezes enemies, slides around on ice, and generally lives up to his (let's be honest, very silly) name. Scarecrow looks like a monster, swinging around a chain with a hook on the end that he uses to throw opponents around the level.
Also in the video are some Super moves, including one where Scarecrow becomes a giant in the background of the level.
A new poster for the action-packed spy sequel Kingsman 2: The Golden Circle has been released. It was widely expected that Colin Firth would return for the second movie, and this poster confirms that he will be back as veteran agent Harry Hart. Check it out below:
The movie will see Taron Egerton play young spy Gary "Eggsy" Unwin once more, with Mark Strong and Edward Holcroft also set to return. The impressive supporting cast also includes Channing Tatum, Julianne Moore, Jeff Bridges, Halle Berry, Vinnie Jones, and Elton John.
Kingsman 2 is directed by Matthew Vaughn. The first movie, also directed by Vaughn, was released in 2014 and ended up as one of the year's biggest surprise hits, making $414 million worldwide.
In a recent interview with Collider, Egerton hinted at what fans could expect form the new movie. "It's f***ing mental," he said. "But it's what people like and it's what Matthew is good at. It's not for the faint of heart, but it's awesome. It's bigger and it feels more ambitious, really.
"There are more characters, the world is explored in more detail. This weird version of reality where these spies exist is kind of explored more. I know Matthew's announced a lot about the fact that we discover a sister organization based in America called the Statesman. They're richer than us, they've got cool s**t."
Kingsman: The Golden Circle hits cinemas on September 29, 2017.

The Nintendo Switch's lineup of digital games grows a bit further today in the US with the system's third new game of the week.
Today's release is the classic game Metal Slug. It comes as part of the ACA NeoGeo series, of which there are now nine on the eShop--including another game from the franchise, Metal Slug 3. You can pick up any of the NeoGeo games, including Metal Slug, for $8 (£6.29) from the eShop.
This is the third new game of the week on the eShop. Unlike Metal Slug, which is a port of an existing game, the other two were completely new: Has-Been Heroes and Snake Pass. Each of those costs $20 (or £16 for Snake Pass; the former hasn't been released in the UK yet).
The closed beta for Quake Champions is just a week away, developer id Software has announced.
It kicks off next Thursday, April 6, with "an initial group of testers." There's no indication of how big that pool of people will be, but more will be added "over time." If you haven't already, you can still sign up for the beta here.
Id also unveiled another of the game's characters (or champions, as it calls them): Anarki, who returns from Quake III Arena, where he was an Arena Lord and playable character. He still has his signature hoverboard, and he's among Champions' fastest characters.
His active ability is Health Injection, which allows him to heal himself (but not others). His passive ability is Hoverboard Air Control, which allows him to turn more sharply in mid-air than other characters. He also gains speed as he strafe-jumps. You can get a look at him in the video above.
We check out the new titans and more in the newest DLC Colony Reborn for Titanfall 2.
