Remedy has offered new details about the upcoming AWE expansion in its latest livestream, but one of the coolest announcements to emerge from that video on the status of the game is what is coming in the free August update. Remedy revealed that it’s responding to complaints about long checkpoints and difficulty overall with a

There was a bit of mumblin’ and grumblin’ when long-awaited Spelunky 2 got a PS4 release date announced without mention of a PC date. The bad news is there’s still no date. The good news is that Mossmouth have given their goals for a timeframe and hey—it’s soon! Spelunky 2 may be emerging on PC

Apex Legends Season 6, Boosted, is poised to strike on August 18 with a slew of new content. The biggest addition is a new legend, Rampart. She’s a big shooter, a fight club smart talker who loves bubble gum, apparently. She’s clearly here to win games and chew bubble gum. There’s a new battle pass to

Even in the midst of some devastating restructuring and layoffs at Warner Bros. and DC in recent days, the company is still moving forward with a big fan event called the DC FanDome, scheduled for next weekend. An array of DC properties are getting the spotlight treatment, with new looks at everything from Wonder Woman

My most played mobile game, and hopefully soon yours too Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time. As a devout pluviophile and a lover (and creator) of abstract digital landscapes, there are very few moments that bring me as much pleasure and serenity

Ready to die a bunch of times and take new bodies for a spin? Choose the shell (they’re kinda like classes) that’s right for your playstyle when Mortal Shell launches on August 18 digitally on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC. But wait, you already knew that part. Mortal Shell is also getting a physical release

Everyone loves a good distillery tour, right? Gawk at the big barrels, sample the products and all. Not so much in the latest update to Dead Cells, which adds an area called the Derelict Distillery. In this house of horrors the barrels explode and the products are death—your death specifically. The new update is out

The next generation of games looks great, doesn’t it? Mundfish’s Atomic Heart is planned to arrive on Xbox One, Xbox Series X, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC, and now we’ve got a gameplay trailer to dissect and analyze. Atomic Heart takes place in the Soviet Union in an alternate reality, and things get… well,

Still never got round to calling it “Twitcher” Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time. I almost forgot how much everyone raved about The Witcher 2. RPS founder-turned-fugitive Jim Rossignol said in his The Witcher 2 review that “This is one of the

After spending time in Ghost Recon Breakpoint, operative Sam Fisher is bringing his iconic brand of stealth to Rainbow Six Siege as Specialist Zero. He will be introduced within the Operation: Shadow Legacy update, which we’ll learn more about this Sunday at 1 p.m. CT during Siege’s North American Mini Major Finals on Twitch. You

She is a pirate! Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time. Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse was the first Shantae game I felt compelled to give a proper chance. I’d played the previous two games for a few minutes each, and while they were

On the latest Night City Wire stream, we got more details on the types of guns and tools that will be at our disposal in Cyberpunk 2077. As we learned previously, there are three distinct types: power, tech, and smart. Power weapons allow your bullets to ricochet off surfaces; tech use electromagnetic power, giving you the

A speed runner’s dream Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time. If I wasn’t writing about games, I likely would never have heard of Futurlab’s Velocity. It was a top down shooter that had a unique hook: what if your space ship could

Are you ready to stop a vampire invasion? How about take on some really big, really rowdy werewolves? The Dark Heart of Skyrim marches on with the upcoming Stonethorn. The DLC dungeon pack includes a wealth of content as you bring the heat to the ancient bastion of Castle Thorn and take on a vampire

Feeling the need for speed on this toasty Saturday afternoon? It might not be the newest car in the garage, but Codemasters are giving away F1 2018 over on the Humble Store all weekend.

Guerrilla’s Horizon Zero Dawn arrives on both the Epic Games Store and Steam today, giving PC players a shot to experience Aloy’s open-world adventure in the lands of robo-dinosaurs. PlayStation’s last exclusive to head to the PC scene, Death Stranding, came with a smattering of upgrades and enhancements. We’ll have to see how Horizon plays on

QuakeCon At Home is live this weekend on Twitch, though it really should be called BethFest when you look at the schedule. The event has moved wholly online thanks to the Covid-19 pandemic, and the rescheduled celebration of id’s and Bethesda’s games has an intriguing schedule. Here are a few of the highlights. A warning:

After completing work on the Batman: Arkham series of games in 2016 (the last game being Arkham VR), developer Rocksteady Studios has quietly worked on its next project, which has been rumored to be everything from a Superman project to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The latest rumors circulating are that the Rocksteady is working on

The good news? Spelunky 2 comes out next month! Hooray! The bad news is that, in all likelihood, the spelunkin’ sequel’s release will be exclusive to Sony’s PlayStation tellybox. Boo, hiss, and all that rubbish. But while a PC release date remains as elusive as an eggplant, we can still enjoy a deeper dive into

Pokémon’s new seven-episode animated-short series has finally reached its conclusion today with the release of the final entry, “Sky.” The series launched in January through the Pokémon TV app and the official Pokémon YouTube channel, exploring the dreams, ambitions, and struggles residents face in Pokémon Sword & Shield’s Galar region. While these episodes are shorter

I threw a spear at the first person to harm an ant. They were warned. But the lag meant I kept missing and it just got a bit embarassing, so we retrieved the spears and went back to scouting for dewdrops. Grounded‘s multiplayer has captured something special. Even after several hours (which flew by for

Nintendo Switch has experienced success as a home for new first-party smash hits since day one, but Nintendo has further bolstered the library with games from the past, particularly from Nintendo’s most recent console, the Wii U. Today, Nintendo announced the next Wii U game coming forward to Switch: Pikmin 3. Pikmin 3 Deluxe brings

Why did the game developer cross the road? To make a living, probably, but after traversing dozens of mobile highways it’s about time to look to the stars. Announced earlier today, Tombstar sees Crossy Road developer Andy Sum team up with designer Marcus Grambau in ditching the sidewalk to pick up a sci-fi six-shooter sometime

Ready to dress your little bean up like fast food and grab another player just as they try to complete a critical jump? It might be time for Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout, which lands today on PlayStation 4 and PC (And it’s free on PlayStation Plus!). The party game battle royale pits you against 59

Mondays are for hoping your new graphics card arrives, seen as your old one got burgled last week. I’m fine! It’s fine! Burglar: caught. Videogames: written about. Here’s the best writing from the last week. For UpperCut, Grace Curtis spoiled Life Sim games forever. She’s managed to describe the listlessness that crept into my Stardew

We know Xbox One’s controllers and peripherals will be compatible with Xbox Series X, but what about PlayStation 4 accessories on PlayStation 5? Sony’s answers are all over the map, but they make sense. The standard DualShock 4 controller that many of us use for PlayStation 4 gaming will work with PlayStation 5, but only

Screenshot Saturday Sundays! It’s been an absolutely roasting weekend, folks, so let’s chill out in the shade and crack open a refreshing can of work-in-progress screenshots, videos and ice-cold gifs. This week: cross-dimensional translation, precarious hangouts, neon zombie raves and (not quite) pong. Yes, I said Pong. Our first game’s no looker in the traditional

Warframe‘s gone and infested an entire moon with creepy crawlies for its Heart Of Deimos expansion. Shown properly for the first time during today’s Waframe fan event livestream, the expansion also includes other cool stuff, like customisable Warframe powers and a huge new open world area. But I’m more interested in the pair of gigantic

Hot on the heels of a dormant, long-overdue-for-a-sequel Ubisoft video game franchise getting a Netflix series in Splinter Cell, another IP from the Ubisoft stable fans have been waiting a long time to continue playing in is making the leap to the digital-streaming service. Beyond Good & Evil, the cult classic 2003 title, is receiving

As promised, BioWare are starting to publish updates as they rethink their not-so-well-received online sci-fi shooter Anthem. Today’s update specifically talks about their goals for the loot system, which they want to be more reliable and respect a player’s time. It doesn’t sound like anything is set in stone yet, so this will definitely be
