For such a simple, straightforward real-world object, ladders have been the bane of game developers' existence since the early days of the industry . And Bethesda's The Elder Scrolls Series is certainly no stranger to that struggle.
Since time immemorial, North American and European publishers have racked their brains over ways to make their games sell in Japan, ancient heartland of mythical beings like Mario, Sonic, and Polaroid Pete. In the late noughties, Microsoft launched a big push to give Japanese youth the Xbox...
Expensive British department store Selfridges has launched a sizeable Grand Theft Auto 6 takeover, completely making-over its Oxford Street London Corner Shop store and offering a considerable line of clothing, which includes an exclusive varsity jacket that costs a bank-melting £2,500...
While its remastered upgrade might have broken cover in late September, The Witcher 3 's extra expansion isn't set to join it until next year. With 2027 still a month and a bit away, a modder's taken it upon themselves to add a few more adventures to Geralt's time in Toussaint, Blood and Wine's...
GTA 6 is due to release on the 19th November on PS5, and Xbox Series X/S, and ahead of the highly-anticipated launch of Rockstar's latest sandbox adventure, people just can't get enough information about the game. To that end, overnight, we saw our latest leak: the game will have 55...

Star Wars Zero Company developer Bit Reactor has laid off an unspecified number of staff, a month after bringing some of its furloughed team back to work.
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...
Ubisoft is reportedly working on two new Assassin's Creed games , and one of them is set in ancient Rome.
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...
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...
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...

The Expanse: Osiris Reborn looks like it's carrying the best bits of Mass Effect forward, and in an encouraging move, the developers have been collaborating with David Gaider.
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...
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.
Former Rockstar Games North technical director Obbe Vermeij believes that the possibility of AI vibe coded ports of Grand Theft Auto 6 could push Rockstar to create an official PC version sooner than you'd expect.

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...
Rockstar Games have released 38 new screenshots of Grand Theft Auto 6 , ahead of its release later this month.
The clue, of course, is right there in the title. Developer Freshly Baked Games' Queen's Domain isn't just a retro-fantasy action RPG played in first-person; it's an explicit homage to King's Field, the long-dormant FromSoftware series that - as the precursor to Demon's Souls, Dark Souls...
