This Halloween, dozens of corpses were scattered throughout a massive arena where 64 players dueled to the death in World of Warcraft Classic Hardcore’s deadliest tournament: the OTK Network’s Hardcore Mak’gora Event. The competition had WoW Classic players spend October leveling up new characters before battling each other to the death (permadeath, since this is…
Somehow it’s already November, which means a lot of games that were planning a 2023 release have to start publicly admitting, well, it just ain’t gonna happen. We’ve seen a bit of that already. The Alone in the Dark reboot planned for October 2023 is now aiming for January 2024. Strategy city builder Manor Lords…
November has entered the chat, which means it’s time to start thinking about the Modern Warfare 3 launch date. This year’s Call of Duty is a direct sequel to last year’s MW2, following Captain Price and Task Force 141 back into the fray. There’s also the year’s multiplayer mode launch to look forward to after…
When Bethesda announced back in June that it was partnering with AMD on Starfield, eager fans were not happy. There was almost immediate speculation that the deal meant Starfield would launch without support for Nvidia’s DLSS tech—and for once, the internet was right. Modders brought DLSS and frame generation to Starfield in relatively short order,…
Though we’d known for some time that Disney Dreamlight Valley had plans to incorporate multiplayer in its cozy social sim, Gameloft has been quite tight-lipped on the details—until now. In its digital showcase today, Dreamlight Valley unveiled all sorts of updates coming to the game over the next year: a first game expansion, lots more…
Atari has announced it has reached an agreement to buy Digital Eclipse, a studio based in Emeryville, California that specialises in “digital restoration of classic games.” The move follows Atari’s acquisition of Nightdive Studios in May this year, another studio with a retro focus that most recently developed the System Shock remake, and is all…
It’s hardly a surprise. Wario’s new voice actor for WarioWare: Move It! seems to have been confirmed and the answer is just as we all expected. Yes, it looks like the new voice of Mario and Luigi, Kevin Afghani, is also voicing Wario — at least, that is the most obvious conclusion having taken a…
Cities: Skylines 2 released in a less than ideal state, and most of the talk around the game has centred around how Colossal Order intends to fix various issues with the game’s performance. Now, the studio has resumed its weekly “CO Word of the Week” feature—last sighted in 2018—to keep players updated on its progress….
Mario! Wario! Pokémon DLC! We’re very much at the business end of the year now, with plenty of top games heading our way and tempting us into a holiday purchase. We’ve been busy rounding up our usual selection of games headed to retail in the coming weeks, including some highlights picked by us as well…
If there’s one thing I’ve learned from my time on the internet, it’s that you never, ever challenge a speedrunner. They live for challenges. Baldur’s Gate 3 is so open-ended it nudges into immersive sim territory—which means that its speedrun tactics have been suitably hare-brained, and runner Mae has been at the centre of them…
