The Khronos Group is a collaboration between nearly 200 companies, working together to produce various APIs for computing. Its most famous software, such as OpenGL, WebGL, and Vulkan, are all about graphics but for the past few years the consortium has been working on doing the same for video. It’s just announced that Vulkan Video,…
Larian Studios might have blown everyone away with Baldur’s Gate 3, but the colossal success of its fantasy RPG didn’t come out of nowhere. BG3 was built on the shoulders of Larian’s previous game, Divinity: Original Sin 2, a fantastic RPG in its own right, and one you can currently grab for a fraction of…
Well that’s just peachy. The journey through Pokémon Scarlet & Violet isn’t over just yet. The Pokémon Company has announced that it will release a free epilogue for the game on 11th January 2024. With The Teal Mask, which launched in September, and last week’s The Indigo Disk, we thought the story to this Paldean…
I’ve been a Bethesda fan for decades, by which I mean I consider Morrowind my favourite game of all time and I’ve gotten progressively crankier about everything released thereafter, so perhaps it’s inevitable that the dull thud Starfield made when it released has made me start thinking about the studio, its past, and its future….
I’m no stranger to the highs and lows of live service gaming. As a nine-year Destiny veteran, I’ve seen how pretty much every conceivable crisis plays out. Servers going down for days at a time. Disastrous balance changes that leave the community in chaos. Tone deaf developer statements that get walked back days later. What…

Robert Jones, Print Editor: Nightdive Studios absolutely knocked it out of the park with the System Shock remake, somehow achieving the near impossible balancing act of…
Strange, for a game all about language… Soapbox features enable our individual writers and contributors to voice their opinions on hot topics and random stuff they’ve been chewing over. Today, Jim sings (or should that be ‘chants’?) the praises of one of his GOTY picks… Let me make something clear right from the jump: Chants…
A new remastered app is expected to launch next Spring. Earlier today, Capcom announced that it will officially be delisting the 2010 iOS port of Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective in preparation for the release of a new app in 2024 based on the current remaster available for Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One, and Steam. Released…
Remnant 2’s first DLC dropped a short while ago—and it’s a pretty good romp. It adds a whole new area to explore, a new class, and some new gear to grab—it also enhances Losomn as a whole, since having the DLC lets its areas and bosses crop up during your randomised runs of the main…
