As the opener to an annual tech event, it’s pretty hard to beat showing off what The Witcher 4 will look and run like in actual gameplay, but that’s exactly what Epic and CD Projekt Red did for the former’s keynote speech, State of Unreal 2025. We all knew it was coming, of course, but…
Cow nibble. Mario Kart World‘s expanded roster is a wonderful thing, but it also brings up more than a few questions. If Bone Fish is behind the wheel, do all creatures in the Mario universe have sentient skeletons? How can the likes of Goomba, Cheep Cheep and Dolphin drive without any real limbs to speak…
Just over a year after the release of its debut game Tales of Kenzera: Zau, Surgent Studios has unveiled its next project, and I don’t know what I expected but it definitely wasn’t this. Dead Take is a first-person psychological horror game the studio says “will peel back the entertainment industry’s glittering facade to expose…
The Elder Scrolls Online just had a huge patch drop yesterday—titled Seasons of the Worm Cult, this new update marks the start of a few key changes to the MMO, alongside a nice helping of content for current or returning players to sink their newly subclassed mitts into. Subclassing, which I had a look at…
“Why send a train to invite us to a black hole?” This mystery sets the stage for Destiny 2: The Edge of Fate, Bungie’s upcoming expansion to the FPS looter shooter launching July 19. Guardians receive an invite to new planetoid Kepler via a time-displaced train car, seemingly from modern-day Earth. Kepler is precariously held…
It’s hard to think of a time in the decade since Destiny launched when the next expansion wasn’t make or break. As the first major release since last year’s The Final Shape, which did the improbable job of landing the game’s sprawling narrative successfully, this year’s The Edge of Fate expansion has the unenviable job…
The chocolate box of exotic gear that comes with a new Destiny 2 expansion is always one of the biggest reasons to log back in. With The Edge of Fate expansion, which launches on July 15, the slate of new supercharged weapons and unique armour pieces feels particularly fresh—including one item, Melas Panoplia, which enables…
Hurtling around pipes as an electrified Morph Ball doesn’t immediately scream Destiny 2 to me. Even so, I don’t mind the heaping of Metroid that Bungie has stirred into the mix for next month’s The Edge of Fate expansion. It’s weird, sure, but most importantly it feels like something fresh. The Edge of Fate (Image…
The 2025 State of Unreal gave us some long-awaited updates on the tech powering The Witcher 4, and while I was picking my jaw up from the floor, something new found its way onto my screen—a bizarre animated alien rendered from a webcam feed in real time. Epic’s new updates to MetaHuman, its suite of…
Epic Games has been showing off its latest Unreal 5.6 game engine. While it’s full of technical innovations and new graphical and physics features, the main takeaway is that the latest version of arguably the most important video game engine is all about performance. Indeed, Epic’s Senior Director of Framework Engineering Julien Marchand says the…
