Fable developer Playground Games seems to have its priorities in order: its reimagining of fantasy world Albion is full of beautiful scenery, the tone remains goofy, and there are choices to make that leave an impact on the people around you. More important than all that, though, is that Albion’s citizens are each unique, and…
I like it when a game has a beginning, middle, and end—I’m old fashioned like that—so I tend to avoid a roguelike unless it looks really, truly special. Upcoming stealth-immersive-platform-brawler-prank sim DreadBound fits the bill. From its first trailer, DreadBound looks to be taking a page from the likes of Dark Messiah of Might &…
If I was to put this in pro wrestling terms, I would say the Triple Threat match has become a surprise Fatal Four-Way, and if you don’t know what I’m talking about, I mean that Remedy Entertainment says Alan Wake 2 would not exist without Epic Publishing. Does that clear things up for you? Okay,…

Former PC Gamer writers have gone on to do amazing things: Pen Star Wars movies, sell millions of extremely good videogames, and, maybe, save the internet? I exaggerate slightly, but tech writer Corbin Davenport released a tool last week called Just the Browser that offers the faintest glimmer of light in this AI abyss we…
Boldly I will log onto the internet today and admit I am boring. I’ve never installed Wicked Whims. The notorious adult content addon is one of the biggest Sims 4 mods out there, quickly updated after every official patch as fans lament they can’t bear to play without it. It sure feels like everyone but…
Nothing irritates me quite like getting my heart set on an in-game cosmetic only to learn it’s from some marketing campaign I missed ages ago, but fortunately, that’s not the case with Enshrouded Twitch Drops. While the survival crafting RPG offers incentives for tuning into livestreams of Embervale, you aren’t totally screwed out of that…
It seems that troubles at Payday 3 developer Starbreeze have not abated, as multiple employees have reported on LinkedIn that the company has imposed another round of layoffs. The cuts come just three months after a previous round of layoffs, and the transfer of Payday 2 to another developer so Starbreeze can focus its efforts…
After years of near-silence, Playground Games popped up twice during today’s Developer Direct showcase: The first time to show off Forza Horizon 6 and the second (and what we’re here to talk about now) to finally give us a good look at Fable, its reboot of the famed RPG series.
