Nintendo has no shortage of franchises that have broken past the barrier of video games and have become a staple of pop culture in their own right, and next to Super Mario Bros, that’s no clearer than with The Legend of Zelda. Originally released in Japan on February 21, 1986, for the Famicom, Zelda caught…
The fighting game community has always been an inherently grassroots scene, which means more than a few eyebrows were raised last year when Saudi Arabian-owned megacity project Qiddiya acquired Evo co-owner RTS. It was still sharing the load alongside Indian esports org NODWIN—which had relieved Sony of its co-ownership in September last year—but that is…
World of Warcraft: Midnight is a singular expansion in the game’s 20+ year lifespan, in that it’ll be the first of its kind to not feature combat addons after Blizzard took an axe to them in its pre-patch.

Check out these custom builds from StudWorks. Ridge Racer Type 4 is, for many people, the shining apex of Namco’s legendary arcade racing series.

Over on YouTube, publisher Raw Fury has released “90 Minutes of Esoteric Ebb Music | A Lazy Day in Norvik,” a chill arrangement of the upcoming fantasy RPG’s soundtrack. The kicker is that it’s kinda spectacular, and very distinct from Esoteric Ebb’s primary inspiration, Disco Elysium. With Disco, we got the dreamy indie rock of…
