The Sunday Papers
Sundays are for waking up covered in sand. The roof of your house is missing. A small man stands in the emptied bed of a dump truck. "You know, everybody's always asking about Elder Scrolls 6," he says. "You know, everybody's always asking about Elder Scrolls 6," he repeats. "You know...
Echoes of Mirror's Edge, Dishonored and a dream set in Italy I once had can be found in Boars in Rome, an expressive parkour platformer set in dystopian Rome
Years ago, I had this dream where I was parkouring through a greatly sunken version of Venice, no doubt sourced from the many hours I put into Assassin's Creed 2 as a teen who should have been studying for their GCSEs a lot more than they were. It's stuck with me after all this time mostly...
County of Fortune, now out in early access, is a medieval city builder that asks, why limit yourself to just one city?
I know what you want. The humble city builder isn't enough for you any more, is it? You need a cities builder, you can't just stop at one, but you don't want to build up an entirely different city on a new save file. If it were up to you, they'd all be on the same map, a motorway's worth of a...

"This trailer is my way of saying goodbye": Have a listen to the Mass Effect 5 score that could have been, courtesy of one of the original games' composers
By this point I'm probably safe in assuming that you all know EA are shutting down BioWare , and that Mass Effect 5 has been cancelled in turn. You may have also seen that an internal trailer for Mass Effect 5, or Universe as it was seemingly going to be called, was leaked not long after the...

Path of Exile 2's 1.0 version is out this year after all, arriving in December with a full campaign, two neat new classes, and more
About a year ago, the devs behind Path of Exile 2 delayed the game's 1.0 release to an unspecified point in time, only offering the hope that it wouldn't slip into 2027 (doing much the same about half a year later). But there's good news: it won't! As the action RPG now has a 1.0 release date...
"I feel that sense of responsibility more acutely": After BioWare's closure, the makers of a new Mass Effect 3 co-op remaster mod look to carry their legacy
It appears I was premature in suggesting that the closure of BioWare might quickly spell an end for Mass Effect 3 's strangely good , preposterously enduring co-op mode. I reinstalled and logged on just last week, and easily found a series of packed lobbies. Still, it was always regrettable that...
After Star Wars Zero Company dev Bit Reactor brought back an unspecified number of furloughed devs, some of those who weren't have seemingly been laid off
Early last month, Star Wars Zero Company developer Bit Reactor brought back a number of developers who had been furloughed before the game launched in August. At the time they did not specify how many devs were returning to the studio, with a separate report claiming more than half had become...

What are we all playing this weekend?
This is the last empty weekend before I go on holiday for a frankly indulgent three weeks. As such, it will likely be spent either remembering all the things my partner and I've not organised for the time we're away or racing to clear through the pile of things I've already remembered I've not...

Bringing Bloodborne back is tricky because "there's a lot of involved rights associated," according to former PlayStation boss
Every year, Bloodborne fans pray for the birth of another game set in FromSoftware's Lovecraftian world. Every year, we're no closer to a Bloodborne 2 or even a Bloodborne Remastered. But why? PlayStation's former head honcho, Shawn Layden, blames it on the tricky situation of rights ownership.

Elections signal cultural shifts that no creative industry can dare to ignore | Opinion
There is a perfectly logical way in which you can look at an election result - even a truly seismic election result - and say that it is largely irrelevant to the business decision-making of the games industry. Elections do not change your customer demographics; all of Washington or Westminster...
