Extremely good King's Field-style RPG Queen's Domain - or is it a Metroid Prime homage? Or a stealth Morrowind-up? We hacks simply cannot decide - has received its first proper patch, adding a hitherto "missing" throwing weapon, the Grave Knife, alongside a bunch of quality-of-life fixes...
SAG-AFTRA has introduced a video game agreement for pre-funding pitches, allowing creators to use professional actors earlier in development.

I do not wish to "rule the streets" of Megacity West, dear creators of Airframe Ultra . I wish to be ravished by them, rubbing my face against the rusty corrugated metal of the shipping containers, and savouring the acid blue waters of the bay. I do not want to "become the one thing with freedom...
It can be difficult keeping track of the various comings and goings in the games industry, which is why we compile them in semi-regular round-ups.

And so we are back in Pywel: the super-sized and often super-pretty realm where the deserts are blood-red, the grass is a lurid shade of green, and Kliff and his merry gang of Greymanes seem to be pissed all the time. Yet what's this? Peace seems to have broken out across the region, which means...
Yesterday, Nier: Automata received a new patch on Steam, adding more language support to the title - it can now be played with Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese options - but this new update also, somehow, inflated the file size of the game on PC from about 50GB to 366GB. D'oh!...
A documentary detailing the history of beloved Mass Effect studio BioWare is releasing next year, and will cover last month's shock closure of the studio, following the private acquisition of owner EA.

It's only been two weeks since we last heard Warren Spector sound off about EA's sudden decision to close BioWare , following the publisher's acquisition by Saudi Arabia's PIF and venture capitalist concerns. But now, the storied developer is back and - apparently - angrier than ever.

It's been a good year for Nintendo: between Star Fox - the N64 classic with a dazzling facelift on Switch 2 - and the newly-launched and utterly fantastic Ocarina of Time remake, the platform holder is having a good run. And that's before you get to the likes of Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave...

It feels like every single week for the past few years has been the infinitely quotable 30 Rock quote on repeat. That feeling struck particularly last month when EA decided to shut down the iconic Mass Effect and Dragon Age developer BioWare. That obviously resulted in the cancellation of Mass...
Sometimes, you come across a game and instantly know it's for the sickos. Today that is Ablahshikar, a "turn-based salvage-survival CRPG adrift on the Candle Sea" where you rip out the organs of enemy warships to "rebuild your vessel into a doomed chimera," that is out now in early access. To be...
Lord almighty, video games take a while to make, 'ey? Especially if you're just one person working on it by yourself. Such is the case with Faraway, out today, an arcade game that reminds me of the early days of PS3 indies "about a shooting star that creates constellations to stay alive," all...
Another day, another opportunity for some horsing around! I'm being literal here, to be clear, as a new update for The Legend of Khiimori dropped yesterday. It's called The Mongolian Expanse, opening up the map a whole lot more and making a sweep of other additions to the game.
No doubt eager as peas to help pay off EA's billions in debt , battle royale shooter Apex Legends is set to run another of its intellectual propertytastic crossover events. This one, starting on November 10th, stars Godzilla, of Godzilla Minus Zero, Godzilla vs. Kong, Godzilla (1954), Godzilla...
