Epic Games has reached a proposed settlement with a former contractor who it accused in March of being notorious Fortnite leaker AdiraFN. The agreement will see the defendant permanently barred from “possessing, accessing, using, or disclosing any of Epic’s confidential or trade secret information,” or helping anyone else do the same. Epic filed the action…
Ahead of Carcass Clad’s reveal at last month’s PC Gaming Show, I had the chance to speak to Wrong Organ devs Jeffrey Tomec and Dave van Egdom about the studio’s follow-up to its breakout hit, Mouthwashing. Carcass Clad is a very different sort of game, but with familiar themes and atmosphere. The bulk of our…
XA couple weeks after its early access launch, things are going mostly pretty well for the steampunk-mechs-in-the-desert game Sand: Raiders of Sophie. An update that rolled out on July 2 caused some surprise headaches and had to be rolled back, which isn’t great, but on the brighter side the game looks to be a legitimate…
Nexus: The Jupiter Incident is a “tactical fleet simulator,” which basically means it’s a sci-fi strategy game with real-time combat set in the cold black void of (Tim Curry voice) space. It’s quite well regarded—PC Gamer magazine gave it an 83% review score in April 2005, according to Metacritic—but, as you can tell by that…
Before Black Myth: Wukong or Phantom Blade: Zero, there was The Scroll of Taiwu, a Chinese indie game that attracted millions of players since it debuted in early access on Steam in 2018. Now, eight years later, it has hit 1.0, marking the end of a long journey that started before Chinese-developed games became all…
“MY WIFE WOULD DIVORCE ME ON THE SPOT”. Since Commodore International rose from the ashes of the once-great computer firm, we’ve seen the superb C64 Ultimate hit the market – an FPGA-based recreation of the iconic 8-bit home computer which ticked pretty much every box. However, it’s fair to say that the company’s follow-up product…
It’s hard to imagine now, but Cyberpunk 2077 was an unmitigated disaster when it launched back in 2020. The PC version wasn’t too bad, relatively speaking, but the console version was so wretched that Sony literally kicked it off the PlayStation Store. It was so far gone that several months after launch, with CD Projekt…
On July 1, Fenris Creations (formerly CCP) completed the full open source release of its in-house Carbon Engine, the tech behind long-running MMO EVE Online and early access space survival game EVE Frontier. The Carbon Engine’s repositories are available now on GitHub. It’s an impressive, surprising move in a time when proprietary game engines are…
The Sims 4 is a noisy game, especially once you’ve piled on a few expansion packs. You’re constantly fielding stray notifications and unsolicited calls from acquaintances asking you for advice, and before you know it you’ve soiled your pants and bowling night is ruined. Thankfully, the headlining note in a recent Sims 4 patch is…
We’re in the endgame now for Grand Theft Auto 6, and with just 139 days to go players are beginning to scrimp and save for its anticipated release—if they haven’t pre-ordered the standard or controversial ultimate edition already. We’ve seen some resourceful players utilise Bing and Microsoft Rewards to get an impressive discount, but that’s…
