Dreamhaven, the company unveiled in 2020 by Blizzard co-founder Mike Morhaime, has something new(ish) in the works, a “tactics roguelike game” for 1-4 players called Shadowstone that’s set to launch later this year. Shadowstone is being developed by Secret Door, the team behind the 2025 tactics RPG Sunderfolk, and you may notice a certain similarity…
Warning: Spoilers for Fallout Season 2 Episode 8! Reactions to the final episode of Fallout Season 2 have been a bit mixed. Some fans enjoyed it, some didn’t, and others (myself included) liked it but wished it did a little less table-setting for Season 3 and resolved a bit more of the threads from Season…
Bethesda veteran and Skyrim lead designer Bruce Nesmith has done a new interview with PressBoxPR going over his considerable time at the studio: among the topics addressed are why Bethesda shouldn’t switch to Unreal Engine, Todd Howard’s “seagulling” habits, and one bit of deep cut lore that had PCG’s Joshua Wolens despairing. Nesmith is asked…
The next Sims 4 expansion, Royalty & Legacy, launches next week and the details we’ve seen so far are all to do with family legacy and scandals.

A rough pre-release led into an even worse launch: Player counts on Steam were microscopic, layoffs…
“I think there are people who have trouble connecting with cute characters”. There are plenty of notable things about 4PGP, which launches on Switch and Switch 2 today – the iconic (but unlicensed) 1990s F1 cars, the 120Hz visuals (on Switch 2) and the four-player split-screen mode – but I have to admit that, as…

The last thing I expected Blizzard to do was to change the name of Overwatch 2 back to just “Overwatch” four years after it came out. But as announced during the recent Spotlight video, that is exactly what Blizzard’s doing. Most of the sequel’s life has been about earning that 2, so why change it…
When I flew down to Blizzard HQ last week to see what the Overwatch 2 team had been cooking for the last few years, I expected a couple of new heroes and an animated cinematic. What I saw was way more than I ever could’ve imagined, to the point the words “soft reboot” came to…
