Normally a game leaving early access would be cause for celebration, but I daresay that’s not the case for Prologue: Go Wayback! It left early access on Steam today, but it’s also doing so in an unfinished state with no plans for further development. The open world survival game from PlayerUnknown Productions launched into early…
Epic announced several upcoming Fortnite collabs earlier today, including one with Vampire Survivors. But a few hours after the presentation, developer Poncle left a Reddit comment suggesting that it might not happen after all. While the post is brief, Poncle seems to be reacting to a recent video which demonstrates how Epic artists use generative…
It’s been six years since Epic first launched Unreal Engine 5, and at its State of Unreal event in Chicago today (head to 1h 40 mins in the above video) and in a separate blog post, we got our first look at what the next major release will offer to games, film, TV, and more…

It is a “time of both crisis and opportunity” for the games industry, Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney said in his concluding remarks at today’s Unreal Fest address, where the Unreal Engine and Fortnite maker demonstrated new features coming to its development tools.

Yet, as players spend more time in bingo communities, the focus often shifts from winning to the connections formed during the game. Social interactions, laughter, and camaraderie take center stage, whether in local gatherings…
The timeless aesthetics of retro arcades have inspired software developers of modern online casinos and video games for decades, with the nostalgic 8-bit art and cyberpunk palette being found in many modern sites.
