I’m in. I intone the words with a sense of victory as I navigate the file directory using only shell commands—a feat that might have impressed the occasional adolescent maybe two decades ago. But then, the camera pans out to reveal a PDF document… inside a Chrome browser… running on Windows. Yes, this is Linux…
Doug Cockle, voice of Geralt of Rivia in CD Projekt Red’s trilogy of Witcher games, has returned to his role this week in Netflix’s animated movie adaptation Sirens of the Deep. He told me that getting into Geralt’s voice is like “slipping into a warm bath” but also like a muscle he’s done a lot…
Every McCloud has a silver lining. Our fingers are crossed that Switch 2 will usher in a brave new era for Star Fox — come on, it’s been almost 10 years — but, if McCloud & co. are still otherwise engaged, at least we know that one of the series’ imitators will be making an…
The Subnautica 2 community drifted into shark-infested waters recently, as developer Unknown Worlds cautioned players about “fraudulent links” to a supposed playtest being sent out to fans and community members on Steam. Reported by GamesRadar, the Subnautica 2 developer first sounded the alarm on X, posting that it had “been made aware” fake links to…
Bizarre, quite frankly. Former Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick has been speaking about his time in the video game industry recently, and while he’s quick to recall that GoldenEye on Wii almost didn’t have guns in it, he struggles to recall the name of one of the UK’s most respected (and now defunct) game studios…
There’s probably a few holdouts somewhere, but for the most part, it seems like we’ve all come to accept Beamdog’s “enhanced” versions of D&D classics like Baldur’s Gate 1 and 2, Planescape: Torment, Icewind Dale, and Neverwinter Nights 1 as those games’ go-to editions. But there are a couple of classics still missing from the…
Big Brother is watching… You really don’t need us to tell you that a new Jeff Minter game is coming. You know a Jeff Minter game when you see a Jeff Minter game. That said, yes, a new Jeff Minter game is coming. I, Robot is a new psychedelic reimagining of the 1984 arcade classic…
Elden Ring Nightreign, a new co-op adventure set within the Elden Ring universe, comes to PS5 and PS4 on May 30. Elden Ring Nightreign is an all-new standalone adventure by FromSoftware that thrusts players into co-op multiplayer PvE combat to take on the creeping night and the dangers within. We recently got the chance to…
Elden Ring Nightreign clicked the moment I hit level 2. My squad had just dropped into Nightreign’s remixed version of Limgrave. Unlike in every other Souls game, I didn’t have to create a character or weigh the options of starting equipment. I was a bird man named Guardian, and all I really had to know…
Well here’s a nice surprise: Elden Ring Nightreign’s official release date is May 30, a good chunk earlier in the year than I would’ve guessed when FromSoftware announced it in December. Coinciding with a bunch of new Nightreign hands-on impressions, Bandai Namco also shared that the co-op Elden Ring spinoff will cost $40, the same…
