Battleworld, in the original Secret Wars comic books, was a patchwork planet that had been smushed together by a cosmic entity called The Beyonder. As it was built from chunks of other planets, wandering every couple miles was like entering a completely new biome. (It even contained a chunk of downtown Denver.) In MMO shooter…
All I know about the Onimusha series is that they were beloved action games from a time when I was too young and dumb to play them. After watching the new trailer for Onimusha: Way of the Sword, just premiered at Summer Game Fest, I now know I have some catching up to do. The…
Our development teams at Round8 and Team Nough are thrilled to celebrate the surprise launch of Lies of P: Overture, available today on PS4 and PS5. Overture is a prequel DLC expansion to Lies of P, transporting our puppet hero to the city of Krat as tragedy looms. On the brink of the Puppet Frenzy…
I noticed earlier this week that there was a studio I hadn’t heard of among the Summer Game Fest partners, Raw Power Games, which said it was building a “vast medieval sandbox.” Sure enough, we got a glimpse of that game, called Chronicles: Medieval, at Geoff Keighley’s showcase today. With the caveat that trailers don’t…
I never watched the Game of Thrones series on HBO because, frankly, I get my fill of political awfulness from the real world in which I live. But even without being immersed in the scene, I was surprised how quickly everyone stopped talking about it: It was like the last season rolled and everyone immediately…
At today’s Summer Game Fest showcase, Sega brought a new trailer for Sonic Racing: Crossworlds, its latest kart racer starring hedgehogs and their various friends who, despite being extremely fast as their whole deal, still apparently need cars sometimes. The trailer, which you can watch embedded above, isn’t just the latest look at Crossworlds gameplay:…
At today’s Summer Game Fest, Square Enix joined the celebration of Geoff Keighley’s birthday [Editor’s note: It’s not his birthday] by revealing Killer Inn, a “murder mystery action game” of social deduction in the vein of Mafia, Town of Salem, and Among Us. Except, like, with a couple of e-girls in there. The “asymmetrical team…
In a short time, Arc Raiders has gone from under the radar, to on my radar, to darn near the top of my most anticipated games of 2025. That’s all thanks to its recent tech test, which was so dang fun that it made the (coincidentally timed) Marathon alpha look bad. We have two games…
Put another feather in Troy Baker’s already finely plumed cap: The famed voice actor is taking the lead role of Jack Pepper in the upcoming Mickey’s got a heater FPS Mouse: PI for Hire, set to release later this year. Baker has 435 credits across 254 games, according to Mobygames, which is kind of ridiculous,…
I’m a big souls guy—and I generally make an effort to play a variety of soulslike spinoffs, especially since they’ve gotten pretty good, lately. Lies of P, Lords of the Fallen, Remnant 2, Nine Sols—we’ve had some rather solid offerings. Alas, I never got a chance to try out Mortal Shell. Luckily, there’s a kickass…
