“a love letter to the PS2 classics”. As part of today’s Future Games Show, Fireshine Games has revealed a Switch 2 version of Duskfade, a 3D action-platformer that looks back to the PS2 for inspiration. The game was revealed with a 2026 release date months ago on other platforms, but it’s now got a 13th…
Asymmetrical PvP is all the rage these days, especially among licensed horror games for some reason—a new 3v1 Saw game just got revealed yesterday—but what if I want to pick up my knife and carve up some innocent people without the social pressures of online competition? I never thought I’d say this, but Michael Myers…
Exodus, the sci-fi action RPG in development at Archetype Entertainment, dropped an extended gameplay video today at the Future Games Show. It delivers the most up-close look at the game yet—and for better or worse, it’s not shaking the allegations that it looks a lot like Mass Effect. The hero in Exodus is Jun Aslan,…
At the Future Games Show today, Vampire Survivors creator Luca Galante talked about making more Vampire Survivors spin-offs—noting the success of Vampire Crawlers as a motivator—which he’s calling “Survivatons.” It’s a “stupid” name that is “short for survive-a-ton,” the masked Poncle head said in the interview. We can expect a Survivaton to be like Vampire…
Gothic is no walk in the park, and the remake didn’t move the needle on that too much—PC Gamer weekend editor Jody Macgregor called it “an RPG for people who think Daggerfall was the last good Bethesda game” in his review. One thing the remake did overhaul was the lockpicking system, though players are still…
Wardogs, we learned from the new trailer that dropped during today’s Future Games Show, is not a battle royale. It is also not an extraction shooter. So… what is it? The video does eventually get to that part: It’s an “all-out warfare” FPS for up to 100 players. The trailer looks pretty straightforward as these…
Another month goes by, another highly-anticipated survival game is poised for a big launch. But Solarpunk, which has over 1.2 million wishlists on Steam, has issued a warning to players before they buy it on June 8: make sure you know what you’re actually getting. “Is Solarpunk for you?” developer Cyberwave asked in a post…
Wake up, Sleeper. We’ve seen enough ‘Nintendo Switch 2 Editions’ now that the promise of a replay doesn’t get us quite as excited as it did a year ago. When it’s one of our absolute favourites from last year, however, with so many branching paths that a replay feels completely warranted, then yes, we’ll get…
Who’s that behind the mask? SFB Games, the studio behind Snipperclips and Crow Country, popped up in the SGF Story Rich Showcase to reveal that it has another murder mystery in store for Switch 1 & 2. The Mermaid’s Mask is the sequel to 2019’s excellent Tangle Tower, and it’ll arrive on the eShop on…
Terminally Online (Image credit: Future) This is Terminally Online: PC Gamer’s very own MMO column. Every other week, I’ll be sharing my thoughts on the genre, interviewing fellow MMO-heads like me, taking a deep-dive into mechanics we’ve all taken for granted, and, occasionally, bringing in guest writers to talk about their MMO of choice. As…
