Last week, Sony Interactive Entertainment president Jim Ryan confirmed that more of their first-party exclusives would be coming to PC. In the past couple of days, Sony have confirmed that they are restructuring Sony Japan Studio, with many developers leaving while others are absorbed into other teams. So, maybe Sony don’t realise that Japan Studio’s

Hu Tao is the spooky 77th director of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, presiding over all manner of funeral services in Liyue, and she’s coming to Genshin Impact soon. Hu Tao is a polearm wielder and pyro element, so she’ll likely take over a spot in your crew that’s currently being filled by Diluc or Xiangling. Of

Arkane’s next FPS game Deathloop looks absoltuely rad. Their new murder sandbox seems like Dishonored meets Hitman, and that’s certainly no accident. Its made by Dishonored’s developers, sure, but Arkane now say they’re bringing “quite a few” of the supernatural abilities that you’ll remember to Deathloop. If you thought you’d spotted some familiar skills in

Ghost of Tsushima was visually stunning and had a story that made me completely rethink how I saw the samurai genre. With its open-world beauty and incredible multiplayer post-launch add-ons, this game feels like it was built with PC in mind.  I’ve run through the story of Tsushima twice now on PlayStation and adored everything

Stonefly the eye-catching new project from Flight School Studios, makers behind the 2019 indie title Creature in the Well. The game blends two disparate yet inherently fun elements, armored mech suits and giant bugs, to create a neat looking adventure coming this summer.  Stonefly centers Annika, a young but brilliant inventor who is on a

Fortnite’s newest season, Zero Point, is uniting some of the greatest hunters in movies, games, and comic books for an epic battle royale showdown. This event kicked off with The Mandalorian and his child companion leaping through a dimensional rift, and almost every week after has brought new hunters like the Terminator, Predator, and this

A few hours ago I wrote about the System Shock remake, and noted in passing that Deathloop doesn’t look much like an immersive sim versus Arkane’s previous games. And then, suddenly, here’s a new trailer of Deathloop where it looks wonderfully, thrillingly, like Arkane’s other games. Sneaking, stabbing, oodles of style, and for the first

Krafton, Inc has revealed the next step for the PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds franchise with PUBG: New State. Developed by the PUBG Studio, New State aims to recreate the original battle royale experience and evolve it into a new, futuristic adventure for both new and veteran players on both iOS and Android platforms.  PUBG: New State is the

In total, 48 million players have used a controller for a game on Steam at some point. Valve have shared that and other big numbers in their breakdown on some new Steamworks tools that help developers see the type and prevalence of controller use for their games. For us routine controller users, that could mean

I have not played Valheim yet, but it would be better in first-person – because all games are better in first-person. Thankfully there is now a mod that crams the survival game’s usual third-person camera into the player’s skull.

The Mass Effect trilogy remains one of the most incredible stories in gaming. The journey as Commander Shepard began with the first game, and from there, gamers were enthralled (but not indoctrinated) by the tale of uniting a galaxy at any cost. Ahead of the release of Mass Effect Legendary Edition, we sat down with character and

Hot off the heels of a canned remake of Goldeneye 007 getting leaked online comes another abandoned Rare project back from the digital graveyard. This time it’s Dinosaur Planet, an unreleased N64 game that eventually turned into Star Fox Adventures for GameCube. Although it’s not the first time fans have seen footage of the lost

It may be all heavy metal and shotguns and space demons but no no, this isn’t Doom. Jupiter Hell is the distinctly not-Doom turn-based roguelike that’s been in early access for a year and a half. It’s nearly reached the end of a run, but there’s always a new run after, isn’t there? Jupiter Hell

Modbox is a multiplayer game creation sandbox. OpenAI GPT-3 is a tool that generates human-like text. Replica is a tool that generates human-like voice acting. Combine these three things, as Modbox developer Lee Vermeulen did, and you get: given the brush off by shouty NPCs you can have conversations with, in VR, with your real

I hadn’t heard of Voyage until just a few hours ago, which seems like a waste. I could have spent months or years looking forward to this game, and instead it’s here already, available to buy and looking beautiful. Voyage is an about two people wordlessly exploring a series of hand-painted landscapes, solving puzzles and

Fortnite has been embracing crossover character skins for ages now, and two big names are about to join the cast! More information is dropping tomorrow evening at 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time via official Epic channels, but for now we’ve got a spiffy new reveal trailer showcasing Ryu and Chun-Li from the Street Fighter franchise. After Master Chief, Kratos, and

After years of rumours and wishes, Blizzard have announced a remaster of the wonderful Diablo II is coming this year. Just as I was heaping scorn on a BlizzCon fuelled primarily by nostalgia, they announced Diablo II: Resurrected and tbh I’m flipping my tits over here. Hell yeah. They’ve redone it with new 3D art

While the recent news that Overwatch 2 isn’t expected to launch this year hit just a bit ago, BlizzConline gave players a peek behind the scenes to development and more. In a long presentation that you can check out online, key figures behind the game walk players through a smattering of updates, including two new maps

Remember when it was announced that Vicarious Visions was headed over to the Blizzard side of things? Well, this is what they’re working on! At BlizzCon today, Diablo II: Resurrected was announced, and it’s coming this year. While this is big news by itself, the game is also coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S,

The demo has returned! Between the limited-time abundance of the quarterly Steam games festival, the spread of standalone ‘Prologue’ releases, and just straightforwardly available demos on Steam game pages, it seems clear that it’s not a fad. Thank heck? Here’s the latest game to have a demo: Rustler, a topdown medieval action game that frequently

People Can Fly delayed Outriders’ release to April 1, but softened that blow by announcing a rather large demo for fans to check out starting on February 25. That’s just a few days away, so the developer took to Twitter (first spotted by Eurogamer) to give excited players the rundown on what to expect from the

The Nintendo’s Switch library just keeps growing. During a recent Nintendo Direct announcement reel, Nintendo revealed that several fan-favorite titles from yesteryear are making their way over to Nintendo’s beloved console/handheld. Here’s a quick breakdown of what’s coming to a Switch near you soon. Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout – “Participate in a variety of obstacle courses

Viking survival game Valheim is having quite a moment. The early access adventure has managed to sell over 2 million copies in its first two weeks, which means over 2 million vikings finding and reporting bugs. Valheim released a new patch today to solve a few such issues including vanishing tombstones and deadly phantom hearths.

Are you ready to take mid lane with your favorite characters… in an anime series? Valve’s Dota is getting a Netflix series starting on March 25! We’re excited to announce a brand-new anime series exploring the Dota universe like never before. As fellow fans of Dota and its passionate global community, we look forward to sharing

City Of The Shroud’s developers hoped that the strategy-RPG’s players would shape the game’s continuing story, with each new chapter taking into account the cumulative decisions of the playerbase during the chapter before. As it turns out, the players have shaped the story by not buying the game. After launching in 2018 to “non-existant sales”,

The giant overhaul mod that creates a new RPG within Skyrim‘s engine now has its own Special Edition upgrade. Enderal‘s creators have moved on to a new project, but fans of the mod have created a version that will work with Skyrim Special Edition if you’re avoiding going back to oldrim for your modding needs.

Pokémon’s 25th anniversary, which happens at the end of this month, is starting to rev up. While most announcements aren’t expected until Pokémon Day on February 27, we’re starting to see some of the announcements and partnerships trickle out ahead of time. We already knew that Katy Perry and Post Malone were joining the celebration, but

Disc Room is a nice videogame. It’s a topdown dodge ’em up in which you must dash between spinning blades to survive long enough to unlock new rooms. It’s made by a group of developers including Jan Willem Nijman and Kitty Calis, who previously worked together on Minit. Nijman has been keeping a Twitter thread

Everyone has had their productivity ruined at some point by GeoGuessr, and now it’s about to happen again. You can think of City Guesser as a kind of sequel, where streetview images from Google Maps have been replaced by videos taken while walking through city streets. The question, and the compulsion, remains the same: can

Resident Evil Village is giving us Tall Vampire Lady thirst and the return of Ethan Winters and now that the memes have died down a little bit about the former, Capcom is talking a little more about the decision to bring the latter back in style.  With Village continuing where Resident Evil 7 left off,
