Hallo! Monday is a bank holiday for us here in the UK, so we’ll leave you with Alice Bee until the rest of us return on Tuesday (well, aside from those of us taking more time). This is the last big holiday weekend of summer, a traditional time to get out in the countryside or

Drinkbox Studios’ Nobody Saves The World is getting a shot in the arm via a new expansion arriving next month. Dubbed Frozen Heath, this update adds new forms, challenges, and a fresh region to explore.

Team Ninja’s dark fantasy action title Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty impresses in a new gameplay trailer that captures the fast-paced thrills you’d expect from the minds behind Nioh and Ninja Gaiden.  Fans of the studio’s previous action titles should find plenty to love with Wo Long if this video is any indication. Set during the

Yesterday, Sony Interactive Entertainment announced it will increase the price of PlayStation 5 consoles in various non-U.S. territories due to global economic conditions such as inflation. Microsoft then declared later that day that it will not be doing the same with the Xbox Series X/S. Now, Nintendo has chimed in on the matter.  In a statement

Harvestella is Square Enix’s chill life simulation game about farming and crystals. It was announced back in June, but a trunk of new details was released today including a lengthy video demonstration in the middle of Nintendo’s Treehouse livestream at Gamescom. Watch it below, if only to read the delightful vegetable names.

The Case Of The Golden Idol is a detective game in which you explore 2D scenes of grisly murders. As you click around, you’ll discover new words to add to your inventory, which you can then use to fill in your explanation of the crime. How did who get into whose room, which person was

Microsoft’s chief executive officer of gaming and Xbox head Phil Spencer believes games exclusive to a single console will become something we see less of over time.  This news comes from a new interview with Spencer from Bloomberg discussing Microsoft’s in-the-process acquisition of Activision Blizzard, the landscape of console exclusivity, and more. He believes that

Goodness, Gamescom is here already. How did that happen? The yearly German gaming show is back in action, and features the ever-present Geoff Keighley and a smorgasbord of videogame announcements, trailers, updates, and news. There are few better ways to catch a glimpse into some of the biggest upcoming games of 2022 and beyond, and

All in! Games, the publisher behind titles like Ghostrunner and Chernobylite, revealed its first internal studio, Ironbird Creations, during today’s Gamescom Opening Night Live showcase. It also unveiled a 30-second teaser for its first game, Phantom Hellcat, a Nier-inspired hack-and-slash action-adventure game coming to PlayStation/Xbox consoles and PC.  “Break a leg as Jolene, a rebellious young

More than any other citybuilder, Cities: Skylines requires deep engagement with its traffic simulation. You can spend an endless number of (very satisfied) hours tweaking your road network to try to fix traffic jams. The next Cities: Skylines expansion might offer an alternative, however. The Plazas & Promenades DLC, announced today, will allow you to

The Game Awards will return for its 9th annual show this December.  More specifically, The Game Awards 2022 will air live on Thursday, December 8, 2022 and as expected, it will be an in-person live show that’s livestreamed to 40 different digital platforms worldwide, including YouTube, Twitch, Twitter, Facebook, and TikTok Live. The show is

I’ve been following Ooblets since 2016, when it was called Moblets and consisted of some sparse but finely animated GIFs on Twitter. For that reason, and without having played it, it’s great to hear that Ooblets is going to hit 1.0 and exit early access on September 1st. Aw, the Oobs are all grown up.

Slime Rancher 2 has a new setting and new slimes, but otherwise looks to offer the same satisfying collecting and tending as the original. If you’ve been longing to spend all your time tidying up, you’ll be able to do so when it enters early access next month, on September 22nd.

You know what it’s like at the beginning of a new year. You’re all excited about the many tens and hundreds of new video games coming out over the next 12 months, and you go and make a big list of all the ones you’re really looking forward to. We did exactly that back in

MultiVersus was the best-selling game in the U.S. last month, despite being a free-to-play title, due to its premium Founder’s Pack.  The Founder’s Packs for MultiVersus came in three forms: a $39.99 standard edition, a $59.99 Deluxe edition, and a $99.99 Premium edition. These packs could be purchased to grant players things like character tokens

Sega announced the Sega Genesis Mini 2 back in July, giving it an October 27, 2022 release date too. At the time, the company revealed some of the titles packed into the miniature console but now, we have the full list of all 60 games.  For the first time ever, titles from the Sega CD

As expected, the Dragon Ball Adventure creative island is now live in Fortnite, and you can glide your way onto it right now.  Once there, players can explore iconic Dragon Ball locations like Kami’s Palace, Goku’s house, and the Room of Spirit & Time. Plus, players can duke it out in the PvP battle arena,

There was a time in multiplayer first-person shooters when Capture The Flag modes were as ubiquitous as Battle Royales. Also like Battle Royales, it was a mod that was responsible for that ubiquity: Threewave CTF for Quake. Now you can more easily play Threewave CTF again. Bethesda announced during Quakecon today that Threewave Capture The

Blizzard released the third Diablo IV Quarterly Update for 2022. Unlike the last one, which focused on the Necromancer class, today’s is all about seasonal content and the team’s post-launch plans.  The studio says it’s aware fans loved Seasons in Diablo II: Resurrected and Diablo III and have asked for even more seasonal support. Diablo IV will

Thunderbolt graphics card enclosures are one of the coolest bits of kit you can get, I think. Open up this metal box, put a graphics card inside, and suddenly any PC or laptop you connect to it via Thunderbolt gets a substantial upgrade in gaming prowess. These docks used to cost around £200 or £300,

Another one bites the dust. If you haven’t noticed, a number of high-profile delays have occurred in recent weeks, with many upcoming games pushed into next year. Unfortunately, the promising sci-fi platformer Planet of Lana joins that growing hit list. Planet of Lana was first announced at E3 2021 with a 2022 launch window. The game stars

Miniaturised survival game Grounded doesn’t have dedicated servers, but the latest update offered up for public testing contains a new feature that’ll help.

Arcade1Up, the team behind the upcoming Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 arcade cabinet we recently played at EVO 2022, has announced NFL Blitz Legends, a new at-home cabinet that features remasters of three games from the popular franchise.  Those three games are NFL Blitz (first released in 1997), NFL Blitz ‘99 (released in 1998), and NFL

As a non-player, the trailer for Final Fantasy 14’s Patch 6.2, Buried Memory, is indistinguishable from every other patch trailer. There’s enormous boss monsters, several types of void, an incongruous cat creature, Death maybe… Where it differs is that there are also a few glimpses of the Island Sanctuary, FFXIV’s new solo farming content. Watch

Gothic was one of those PC games I dismissed as being for nerds. Me? I was too busy making Half-Life levels and reading Championship Manager fanfic to be interested in some game about mages in a hole. I’ve since realised the errors of my ways, and I quite fancy the chance to correct my previous

If you’ve drooled over the OLED panel in your phone or TV and decided you’d like the same tech for your PC games, you basically have the choice of a single model each from Gigabyte and Alienware. Asus, then, are about to increase the number of OLED gaming monitors on the market by 100%, with

Developer Avalanche and publisher Warner Bros. Interactive have delayed Hogwarts Legacy to next year.  More specifically, Hogwarts Legacy, originally due out sometime this year, will now hit PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on February 10, 2023. The game will make its way to Switch, too, but today’s announcement also

Infinity Ward has released a TikTok (it’s a new world) that shows some of its developers discussing a new map in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 called Farm 18, as reported by Eurogamer.  The map will probably fall into the medium-sized range of Call of Duty maps, and that’s because it’s one part a
