Sandworm-riding isn’t part of Dune: Awakening, at launch, anyway. As creative director Joel Bylos told Eurogamer last year, Funcom looked into it but decided the technical cost was too steep and “it needs a purpose.” In the movies, sandworms are ridden through the otherwise impassable southern sandstorms and used to attack Arrakeen. You don’t do…
Neverwinter Nights 2 returns. During the PC Gaming Show earlier on, the team at Aspyr lifted the lid on an enhanced edition of Obsidian Entertainment’s 2006 fantasy RPG Dungeons & Dragons: Neverwinter Nights 2. Following the release of the original game’s enhanced release on the eShop in 2019, the sequel’s new version will be releasing…
The elite of the tech industry are unrivaled in their ability to stand on a stage and earnestly pitch you something you’ve seen before as stunning, groundbreaking, unprecedented. This is an important skill, because much as history repeats itself on a grand scale, design trends repeat on a cycle of 10 or 20 years or…
The “endless cat breeding RPG” Mewgenics showed up at the PC Gaming Show yesterday with another bizarre trailer and a new release date: Instead of arriving in 2025 as planned, it’s now set to arrive on February 10, 2026. And there’s actually a pretty good reason for the delay. “Dude, listen. Launching in Nov–Dec is…
Dark Souls players spent months trying to figure out if the pendant that’s in your inventory when you start the game unlocked something secret. Even though it’s literally labeled “useless,” people were convinced there had to be more to it. It turned out to be just a joke, but you can’t blame anyone for being…
While you spend the first few hours of Dune: Awakening avoiding the open sand unless absolutely necessary, the game starts giving you reasons to brave the desert and risk becoming worm food after you complete a few quests. Buried treasure is one of the biggest draws of the sand, but the game does a poor…
Arrakis is a harsh and unforgiving place, but that doesn’t mean you can’t carve out a small corner of the sands and create a nice little home for yourself. Building a base in Dune: Awakening is the key to surviving the sands, but there are a few additional restrictions to keep in mind compared to…
Excited about Death Stranding 2: On the Beach? So am I, and so I offer one piece of advice to you: don’t bother watching last night’s premiere event, which was held in LA’s Orpheum Theatre, hosted by Kojima’s best bud Geoff Keighley, and featured various Death Stranding 2 actors and creatives coming on-stage to talk…
In some ways, 007 First Light looks like an easy step sideways for IO Interactive. Agent 47 is basically Bond anyway, minus the hair, turbocharged sex drive, and occasional witty (or groan-worthy) quips, right? So just add those things and you’re halfway finished. Except as the studio explained in an exclusive interview with PC Gamer,…
If you paid attention during the PC Gaming Show 2025, you’ll have spotted the illustrious Frankie Ward and myself building a gaming PC during the stream. That wasn’t merely a prop, it’s the real deal, and it could be yours. Yeah, yours. This is no machine for mere casuals. We’ve teamed up with AMD, GIGABYTE…
