Future tense should be avoided when referring to subjects appearing in upcoming media; as trailers and screenshots show said subjects to have already been incorporated into and are thus ''presently'' in the game, present tense must be used. | |||

When referring to real-life events as references, avoid using adjectives and adverbs describing how long ago they occurred (e.g. ''"In a recent interview..."''). What you add to an article may stay there for a long time, so citing an interview that is "recent" now won't be "recent" later. (This also saves the trouble of having to go back later and change the wording.) Instead, add the exact or approximate date the event occurred if possible. | When referring to real-life events as references, avoid using adjectives and adverbs describing how long ago they occurred (e.g. ''"In a recent interview..."'').

Tying into the previous section regarding future tense, a game may be referred to as "upcoming" in its article's lead paragraph, as this is the simplest way to state that the game has not been released yet, on top of it being more visible and easy to update than an obscure sentence on a particular page. | |||
