Long waits between mainline entries in a series aren't a new phenomenon, if perhaps a bit more common nowadays due to big games' ballooning development cycles. It took about 23 years for BioWare's Baldur's Gate 2 to be followed up by Larian's Baldur's Gate 3 , though there were a decent amount...
"Stardeus is in an early stage in terms of bulk and complexity, but it's already a pleasant blend of interesting ideas that generate a mostly relaxing vibe," wrote gallant star captain.exe Sin Vega in our 2022 analysis of Rimworld-influenced colony manager Stardeus. "One to watch for sure."...

Eight years ago, I sat at my desk enthralled. Bethesda had just released the first trailer for The Elder Scrolls 6 , a then mysteriously nameless, locationless sequel to one of the biggest games of all time, and I reckoned I'd just found the secrets to both. It was going to be set in the region...
It’s time to see which PS5, PS4, PS VR2, and free-to-play games topped last month’s download charts. In October, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 led the PS5 charts in the US and the EU, and BeamNG.drive landed in the top 3 on both charts. Meanwhile, Hard Bullet dominated the PS VR2 charts. Check out

When Katsuhiro Harada announced his departure from Bandai Namco last December after more than three decades, fighting game fans were left dejected. Many feared the retirement of the driving force behind Tekken would deprive the genre of one its remaining greats, particularly so soon after the...
Star Wars has been back in the news recently because, to cut a long story short, the US alt-right have decided that Darth Vader was actually the good guy . We are not here to indulge such buffoonery. We are here to talk about Fate of the Galaxy, a free unofficial space combat simulator set...
Halo and Destiny composer Marty O'Donnell's political aspirations have hit a roadblock following last night's US mid-term elections. O'Donnell was campaigning for a seat in the US House of Representatives, running as a Republican candidate in Nevada's Third Congressional District, but is...
Raw Power Games, an independent studio comprising veteran developers of The Witcher 3 , Total War: Three Kingdoms , and Crusader Kings III (among others), have called on players for support after losing their funding - an existential threat to both the organisation and to their debut, the...
Nexus Mods, the largest website for finding and downloading PC mods, has revealed new guidelines aimed at properly identifying mods created entirely using gen-AI or those created with AI assistance.
Aha. Here it is . Freshly poked live and right on time . Now, we wait for the inevitable flood of mods, like the ceaseless current of add-ons which still flows into Skyrim .
Space station trading game Probably Stolen - Cyberpunk Shopkeeper Sim has been doing rather well on Steam, attracting over 162,000 concurrent players last night. I've been feeling the urge to fire it up again myself, after my brief launch-day trawl through its quagmire of black market economics...
I have a friend who first played The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time back in the day, when the game was only just released and he was home from university for Christmas. This is objectively the best of all times to play any video game: not Christmas specifically, but dropped out of the regular...
The UK Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has banned mobile ads from developers such as King and Scopely for misleading consumers with non-representative gameplay.
The owners of Nexus Mods have ruled out instituting an outright ban on AI-generated works being uploaded the site, instead opting to expand their current rules on modders disclosing how they've used AI in making their mods. This latest move to address the waves of AI-created or AI-thumbnailed...
Have you ever seen - or read - the wonderful Dungeon Meshi (known in English as 'Delicious in Dungeon')? It's a phenomenal manga series written and illustrated by Ryoko Kui, which was adapted into an anime series produced by Trigger in 2024. Long story short, it's about a group of adventurers in...

Arkane Studios, which spent the last several months in limbo following Xbox's decision to divest itself from the studio, has apparently received buyout offers from several bidders.
Ubisoft is reportedly seeking to acquire Arkane Lyon following an extension of its consultation period with Xbox.
Things are potentially looking up for Arkane, depending on how you feel about Ubisoft (and depending on who actually ends up acquiring them). I mention the Assassin's Creed developer because, reportedly, they're interested in buying the studio from Microsoft, having even made a bid for it. I'll...
You might have seen that for today's grub, Edwin decided to in part feed The Maw with Food Devils, an incredibly salacious, foodie take on Fire Emblem, as it was meant to release today. The only problem is, it's not actually out yet. That might prompt you to call Edwin a rotten liar and march up...
You know, given the whole stealthy element of Thief-like immersive sims, I'm surprised there haven't been more of them with horror elements. There's Gloomwood , sure, but it's not as common as I'd like. That in turn then makes me curious about The Citadel Project, an immersive sim with some...
The concept of fusing an RTS and an FPS always sounds like a fun one, and since 2023 Martin Melichárek has been trying to make a new take on the combination under the watchful eye of DayZ devs Bohemia Interactive through Silica . Today marks the day that Silica leaves early access and...
Well, have you played Atuel? If not, you can do so within the next hour - it's a tiny, free, 25-minute walking sim, albeit one with little actual walking on account of you playing most of it as a river. More of a running sim, really.
For the time being, the world of Frostpunk remains a hypothetical, even if it's one that seems just that little bit more likely than I'd like it to be given who's in charge of the world. But at the very least, there are pockets of hope to be found in Frostpunk 2 , namely with its newly revealed...
Helldivers 2 isn't slowing down any time soon, and according to Edwin's recent interview with Arrowhead CCO Johan Pilestedt, it'll continue to be Arrowhead's main priority for the future. As if Helldivers 2 wasn't full of enough horrors for our brave Super Earth Helldivers to shoot at for the...
