In case you’ve committed undemocratic heresy and had your Super Earth broadcasts turned off, let me illuminate (heh) the situation for you—the Illuminate are here in Helldivers 2, and boy howdy are they pissed off. In a recent interview with us here at PC Gamer, Arrowhead Games’ CCO Johan Pilestedt promised that the Illuminate would…
As you would expect for its tenth anniversary, The Game Awards was absolutely packed. We got a new Witcher reveal, an Elden Ring spinoff, the Illuminate in Helldivers 2, a first look at Borderlands 4, new stuff from gen Design and Naughty Dog, Swen Vincke telling it like it is, and a whole bunch more—if…
CD Projekt has officially revealed The Witcher 4 with a cinematic trailer showing the new protagonist (but old series mainstay) Ciri intervening as a village maiden is sent off to sacrifice. Geralt’s adopted daughter is the new main character, a decision CDPR says was already on the cards during the development of Wild Hunt, and…
Look, forgive me, all right? It’s Friday afternoon as I write this, and I know I’ve picked a silly image to go with an article on what is quite an important topic. But Meta has called its new AI-generated video watermarking tool the Video Seal, and sometimes the header image picks itself. Let’s get down…
Ahhh that’s more like it. Watching that Witcher 4 trailer reminded me of what matters to me in an RPG: the NPCs have pockmarked faces and broccoli noses, and the whole thing looks like it smells of manure, burned wood, and fermented cabbage. Its grimy world is a breath of fresh, briney air after the…
Get jiggies with it. Back in 2021, modder Mark Kurko revealed a first look at his monster project, ‘BK Nostalgia 64‘. This love letter to the N64 and Banjo-Kazooie (whodathunkit with a title like that?) was originally slated for a Christmas 2024 release, though through a variety of complications, the modder has decided to push…
Sony’s alien-invasion co-op shooter is on a hot streak at the moment, to the point where we’re just about ready to forgive them for the rollercoaster they took us on when they didn’t, and then did, and then didn’t, force PC players to link their Steam accounts to PlayStation Network to play it (though they…
Fantasian Neo Dimension launched December 5 on PS5 and PS4. This Mistwalker RPG features the creative work of two industry icons, both legends in the genre. First, there’s composer Nobuo Uematsu, who has lent his talents to the game’s score, the last full game soundtrack he’ll produce solo, capping off an incredible 30-plus years of…
I am suffering, dear reader, from a Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice deficiency. Despite having a massive impact on the industry at large, with soulslikes copy-catting more mechanics from Sekiro than their namesake, snagging timed blocks and posture staggers, FromSoftware chose to stick to what it knew. It has officially been more than five years since…
With a few generations of AIO liquid coolers under its belt, Be Quiet! has done pretty well in balancing cooling, aesthetics, noise and price, usually focussing on low noise and RGB-less designs. As RGB lighting has become more popular, though, it’s had to relent and add it to their coolers even if it’s done so…
