Humankind 2 was announced today at Gamescom’s Opening Night Live showcase, and I have to admit that I was among those who raised an eyebrow at the announcement trailer and wondered: Is this AI generated? A number of commenters speculated that it was. Nope, says the studio. “The Humankind 2 live-action announcement trailer was filmed…
The latest trailer for Metro 2039 tried to get a scare out of me with its radiation-sickened bugs and monsters jumping at the screen, but the spookiest thing about it is how gosh darn good it looks. I’m not talking specifically about the gameplay, which this trailer does show more of—gun customization, mask wiping, stealth…
It brings me no joy to admit this, but recently I’ve begun thinking that I’m finally nearing my fill of ARPGs. I’ve gotten a lot of great years out of clicking a mouse button and exploding full screens of skeletons, but the prospect doesn’t quite spark joy like it used to. Or at least that’s…

Bad news: The RAMpocalypse apparently continues unabated, forcing novel experimentation with alternate forms of computer memory not rendered wholly unaffordable by AI datacenters. Namely, rat computers. This believable projection of…
“Oh yea, that’s the good stuff,” I said as a hipfired a gnasher and atomized a locust drone, raining monster bits all over Marcus Fenix’s stoic mug. We’re in the midst of a singleplayer shooter drought and I’m happy that Gears of War: E-Day is here to replenish the well. I recently got access to…
CD Projekt Red showed up to close out Gamescom Opening Night Live with two big announcements: a first look at The Witcher 3’s final expansion, Songs of the Past, and a surprise “Remastered” patch coming to the base game on September 29. If you’re just hearing about this now, yes, The Witcher 3 is getting…
Launching September 4 for PlayStation 5, Onimusha: Way of the Sword brings players to early Edo-period Kyoto, a historic capital under siege by monstrous fiends known as Genma. Players step into the shoes of Miyamoto Musashi, who unleashes supernatural Oni powers in an action-packed swordplay saga. Striking a bold impression as the protagonist, Musashi’s face…
What a Revelation! As expected, Naoki Hamaguchi popped up at the end of gamescom Opening Night Live 2026 to give us another look at Final Fantasy VII Revelation. The third and final part of the ‘Remake Trilogy’ will launch simultaneously on all platforms (including Switch 2) at some point in Spring 2027 — which, when…
