Hello from id Software! This is Hugo Martin, game director on Doom: The Dark Ages, releasing May 15 on PlayStation 5—it’s right around the corner, I can’t believe it. If you’ve been following along, you already know that Doom: The Dark Ages is a premium single-player campaign featuring three core pillars of engagement: story, combat,…
I’ve been living on a beta version of Dune: Awakening’s Arrakis for the last couple weeks, and despite the game being just over a month away from launch, there were some pretty big limitations on how much I could settle into desert life. Only low-level crafting was available, and just three of the first map’s…
If a Dune game has a rite of passage, surely it’s being swallowed by a sandworm. It happened to me about 10 hours into the Dune: Awakening beta and it took me quite a while to recover, because there was no chance of running back to collect my dropped gear like you can when you…

It looks like the first two games in Human Entertainment’s horror-themed adventure series Twilight Syndrome are about to get a fan translation, judging from a set of tweets from the fan translator blamerobots. Twilight Syndrome: Tansaku-hen and Twilight Syndrome: Kyūmei-hen were a group…
Now, I did not expect Oblivion to be the game that brought my Nvidia RTX 5090 to its knees in 2025, but that’s kinda what Oblivion Remastered has done. When I first checked over the system requirements my initial thoughts were ‘oh, that’s nice, it’s not a resource hog that will devour every space CUDA…
Clearly not ready to roll. Yesterday saw the flood gates open for a whole bunch of Nintendo pre-orders across the US, including a first chance to pick up the new Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Sage amiibo. We’ve been excited to get our hands on these initial fab four since they were revealed in the…
