All The Best Video Game Trailers of 2020

While the Ruined King's rampage may ultimately not touch every single lore character mentioned in the past, this plotline that unfolds during Season 11 will set the standard for arcane Bilgewater many years to come. With years of foreshadowing finally coming to a head, Viego's story is truly the greatest undertaking that Riot Games has done for League of Legends

The gameplay answered some of that, but mainly it let fans know how Spider-Man: Miles Morales would play differently than 2018's Marvel's Spider-Man . Miles Morales is Spider-Man, but he is his own unique Spider-Man. He comes with his own style and flair, his own personality, his own backstory, and his own convictions. All of this was on display in the gameplay trailer for Spider-Man Miles Mora

Yi's Alpha Strike allows him to attack multiple targets while also making him untargetable, and when he uses his ultimate, his Alpha Strike refreshes after every kill or assist. Thanks to Duskblades' passive, Yi can also go invisible for 1.5 seconds after each takedown, which gives his Alpha Strike enough time to re

Looking at something like Team Fortress 2, that game's turret is like a bunker. If you put it down and have enough supplies, the opposing team can't get past it unless you have like, 18 people throwing their bodies at it, and the turret is killing people left and right. It's a very different experience than the turret we shipped in Valorant. What we always found most exciting about the turret is this feeling of setting up a crossfire of your own. Sorta like, "OK, somebody is going to attack this chokepoint, my turret [is] on the right-hand side, and I'll hold the left-hand side." So when they try to push through, the turret shoots first, and I can shoot them while they're distracted. Distraction was the concept. Not a turret that instantly and autonomously takes enemies down to zero hea

** Max Grossman: ** It was very much a gameplay-first situation, and the fantasy of Killjoy being this young, hotshot German engineer came after the fact. Many of our characters went that same way. We tend to start with gameplay mechanics first, especially since the game was in development for a very long time. Killjoy is one of the oldest characters in the whole roster, and she went through quite a few different iterations before we got to the final one. We test a toolkit first and experiment with varying ideas of gameplay. Or at least what we think is going to work. Then, during that initial prototyping, we try to figure out what "theme" appeals to that gameplay fant

The idea changes helped to cull a lot of items that just weren't finding a purpose anymore. Niche items are important to the game, as building items to increase effectiveness against specific strategies is nice. However, Serpent's Fang is a bit too niche and not very gold effici

The lone DCEU movie coming out in 2021 is James Gunn's The Suicide Squad . Gunn's take on Task Force X has been described as neither a sequel to the 2016 Suicide Squad or a reboot. The R-rated film will be something of both, it appears, as it includes familiar and new characters. Returning characters include Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie), Rick Flag (Joel Kinnaman), Captain Boomerang (Jai Courtney), and Amanda Waller (Viola Davis). Some of the new faces that appear in The Suicide Squad are Bloodsport (Idris Elba) and Peacemaker (John Cena). The Suicide Squad is coming out in theaters and on HBO Max on August 6, 2

Regarding how you're spending time, in League Of Legends, 80% of the time you're using different abilities that are all unique to your hero. In Valorant, 80% of your time is with your gun out, which is not unique to your character. So there's a much smaller portion of time that you're using the distinct Agent abilities. From that perspective, I think it gives us constraints, but not too m

The second entry in the Sony Pictures Universe of Marvel Characters will come in 2021 with Morbius . The film stars Jared Leto as Morbius the Living Vampire and is scheduled for a theatrical release on March 19, 2021. Morbius is an origin story for the Spider-Man anti-hero and was originally supposed to be released in 2020. Directed by Daniel Espinosa ( Life ), the film also stars Matt Smith, Jared Harris, and Adria Arjona. It also features a cameo from Michael Keaton's Vulture, who previously appeared in Spider-Man: Homecomi

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate just celebrated its two-year anniversary . Leading up to the release of the game, Nintendo's crossover fighting game had some absolutely epic trailers, including the glorious reveal trailer showcasing the Inklings getting their first taste of Smash Bros. action. Since then, the remarkable reveal trailers have continued to shock and amaze. Whether it was the nostalgic reveal of Banjo and Kazooie or the shocking first look at Joker, Nintendo often puts together exciting trailers to showcase which fighter is joining the bout. But the most recent reveal may be the best
