Morty from Rick and Morty, who was set to drop with Season 1, will join the roster roughly a week later, on Aug.

I grew up in a town where some people hated the colour green, because they supported Rangers FC and green was associated with their rivals, Celtic FC. They would smash green traffic lights, green street cabinets, green shop signs… I wonder what their reaction would be to Soccer Story, an “adventure RPG” about playing football-ish

Developer PanicBarn and publisher No More Robots are working on a “comedy open-world RPG” where you save the world with a magic soccer ball. Soccer Story is slated to release later this year for PlayStation and Xbox consoles, Switch, PC, and Stadia. Your role in Soccer Story begins one year after an event called The

How much gaming monitor can you get for £100? Not much, it turns out – but I did spot something unexpected for £10 more: a genuine ultra-wide monitor. Now, it’s not a stunner as far as looks go, and it’s not got the latest specs either. But what it has got is an expansive 25-inch

To this point, Splatoon 3 has drip-fed players with new information about new weapons, music, and even a special Switch OLED model and Pro Controller themed after the highly anticipated family-friendly shooter. However, now that Splatoon 3 is the next major release on the Switch’s release calendar, Nintendo officially opened the flood gates this morning

There are many different kinds of townbuilders these days, but two of the most popular are “it’s a bit like Settlers,” and “it looks a bit like Settlers as a ruse but really it’s about everyone dying of cholera.” Farthest Frontier is the latter: a city management game from the makers of Grim Dawn where

To say that Sonic the Hedgehog 2 was successful would be an understatement. The highest-grossing video game film in U.S. history already had a confirmed threequel in the works, but today we found out exactly when we’ll see Sonic and friends return to the big screen, and it’ll be chillier than usual. The official movie

I don’t spend a ton of time testing gaming laptops these days, but one of my recent favourites was the Zephyrus G14. This laptop is slim and compact, yet sports a brilliant 14-inch 2560×1600 120Hz display, a powerful RX 6700S graphics card and a top-end Ryzen 9 6900HS processor. This is backed with a 1TB

Bandai Namco revealed a big update for Tekken 7 during this weekend’s EVO tournament, which may have also teased the next entry in the long-running series. A trailer running down the Tekken 7 balance update, which arrives on August 17 and introduces balance adjustments and new tactics, concluded on a tantalizing note. A clip of Kazuya’s

Re-Volt is a remote control car racing game released in 1999 to mixed reviews, but 23 years later there’s still a community devoted to it. After a nine year absence, the game has now returned to Steam and GOG. It’s apparently in less than ideal condition, but the community already have fixes for that.

Last week, Steam added support for Nintendo Online classic controllers. What it didn’t have was support for the Nintendo Switch’s default Joy-Con controllers. A beta update has now changed that.

Saturnalia is an upcoming indie survival horror with one of the most interesting visual styles I’ve seen in the genre in a minute.  Developed by Italy-based studio Santa Ragione, Saturnalia is influenced heavily by the folklore of Sardinia, Italy, and inspired by Italian Giallo horror films (typically more horror-esque mystery thrillers). In it, you control

When Sonic Origins arrived on consoles and PC in June, it delivered a four-pack of classic Sonic the Hedgehog games from the ’90s. While the bundle was praised for bringing Sonic 1, Sonic 2, Sonic 3 & Knuckles, and Sonic CD to modern platforms with various gameplay enhancements and other additions, it was also heavily criticized.

Ultimate Audio Bang is RPS’ fortnightly podcast that looks at everything happening in online shooters. On this week’s episode of the Ultimate Audio Bang, we get all nostalgic as we pick our favourite FPS game modes over the years. It’s mainly an excuse for me for me to bring up Gears Of War and it’s

If you’ve been keeping up with what’s happening at Warner Bros., its streaming service HBO Max, and its new partner company by way of a merge, Discovery – collectively, it’s now Warner Bros. Discovery – then you know things have been bleak the past couple of days.  The HBO Max film, Batgirl, a complete movie, has

The developers of Crypt Of The NecroDancer just sneakily announced a followup. It’s called Rift Of The NecroDancer, and it’s a “standalone rhythm game in the NecroDancer universe.” You can watch its surprise reveal below, at the end of the trailer for the newly released Synchrony DLC for Crypt Of The NecroDancer.

Mega Man fans in the west got a surprise treat with the global launch of Mega Man Battle & Fighters on Switch. The game was originally released for the Neo Geo Pocket Color and has never been released outside of Japan until now.  The game was first released in 2000 and serves as a portable

Seasonic is the name when it comes to reliable PC power supplies, so it’s rare to see big discounts – especially on their more affordable models. That trend is reversed at CCL in the UK today though, as their G12 GC-650 power supply has dropped from £68 to £48 as part of CCL’s summer sale.

Nintendo released its latest round of financial results, this time for Quarter 1 of the 2023 Fiscal Year, which accounts for April, May, and June of 2022. In it, the company revealed that the Switch surpassed 111 million units sold but, despite that, overall sales are down.  In terms of hardware, sales are down 22.9%,

The first developer update video of The Last Starship focused on combat, which I thought looked pretty swish. The second developer update video for Introversion’s space-everything game says, hey, this game isn’t about combat, and talks about user-made ships, mining vessels and, in an additional video, early player opinions of the playtest.

Herschel “Guy” Beahm IV, known by most as Dr. Disrespect, helped form a “AAA game studio” with former Call of Duty and Halo developers in December of last year. Dubbed Midnight Society, the studio’s first project was slated to be a multiplayer shooter. More details about it have been released, including word that it’s a

I was going to head in a different direction for my second deals post of the night, but when I spotted this deal on a great mid-range AMD graphics card I knew I had to double-dip on CCL’s excellent summer sale. The British retailer is offering the AMD RX 6700 for £299 when you use

A new Pokémon Presents showcase will be held this week and it will be a video presentation with updates onPokémon apps and games, including Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.  More specifically, this upcoming Pokémon Presents will air at 6 a.m. PT/9 a.m. ET on Aug. 3 – so this Wednesday.

The same video also offered glimpses of six new characters, details of the new enemies players will face in Sumeru, and hints to “ancient secrets buried in the sand.”

I assumed we must have written about The Siege And The Sandfox before, but nope. It therefore falls to me to tell you about this “2D stealth Metroidvania”. Those words alone are enough to get me interested, but there’s a trailer below that shows it in action if you need a little more.

All of the NFL players in Madden NFL 23 have ratings and you can freely look at them on EA’s official site. Is Kenny Pickett ranked high enough at a 68? If you don’t think so, you can call into Madden NFL’s ratings adjustor hotline (at 689-278-3030) to recommend it go up or down. Thousands of

In the age of years-long development cycles, it seems miraculous that Wolfenstein 3D, a game that spawned the modern-day FPS as we know it, was developed by six people in just six months. The story of Wolfenstein 3D’s development makes for a fascinating time capsule of those early days of game development – a milestone

Our brief first look at NBA 2K23’s on-court action shows off the fluidity of play and attention to detail that unfolds even after the whistle is blown. For years, this series has been lauded as a graphical powerhouse, and this teaser sizzles in this way. We’ll have to see how the footage shown breaks down

If you wish modern Fire Emblem was more focused on strategy RPG battles and less focused on perfect teatimes, then Vestaria Saga 2: The Sacred Sword Of Silvanister might be for you. It’s a fantasy turn-based strategy game designed by original Fire Emblem creator Shouzou Kaga with a team of volunteers, and it was released

Today’s Annapurna Showcase brought several platform changes and new-gen updates for many well-received indie games. It also gave us a release date on a particular indie that’s been radio silent for some time.
