Leave it to trademark filings to publicly utter the name of a new videogame before anyone else: The next Kingdom Come will almost surely be called Kingdom Come Salvation. Huzzah. That’s according to an official trademark filing by Warhorse Studios itself with the EUIPO—first spotted by PhraseMaker—issued on July 23. Had the owners of the…
Bad news for anyone looking forward to playing the new Tomb Raider game Catalyst next year: It’s not going to be out until the year after that. Word of the delay came from Amazon Gaming chief Jeffrey Gattis during an interview with The Game Business. Talking about Amazon’s game investment strategy, Gattis said the company…
Saudi Arabia’s proposed $55 billion acquisition of Electronic Arts has cleared one potentially significant hurdle, as the European Commission says it will not oppose the buyout. “The European Commission has approved, under the EU Merger Regulation, the acquisition of sole control of Electronic Arts Inc. of the US by the Public Investment Fund (‘PIF’) of…
The RAMpocalypse, and more specifically the obscene price inflation it’s driven, sucks for just about everyone with an interest in gaming. But one person it maybe doesn’t suck for is Amazon Gaming boss Jeffrey Gattis, who said in a recent interview with The Game Business that high hardware prices could be good for Luna, the…
“You forgot to say please”. I’m old enough to recall when VHS tapes were the main means of getting my big-screen entertainment at home – long before DVDs, Blu-Rays and digital streaming came along.

With System Link & online play, wheel support, widescreen, and more. Fans of Sega racing games, take note: a brand-new way to experience the legendary developer’s 1995 arcade classic, Sega Rally Championship, has just arrived. If you’re a regular reader, you may remember last week we covered the release of developer Wanszai’s PC, Xbox 360,…

Available from 3rd August as the first character in the Year 4 roadmap, Yasmine utilises a karambit to get “up close and personal” to the opponents with some agile combos…

I enjoy playing Mortal Kombat with my equally bad friends, but as soon as I’m up against someone who knows their shit, I’m fumbling over the controls. Unsurprisingly, it’s not all too fun getting your ass whooped and feeling like there’s little you…
Minecraft has been out a whole 17 years now, which makes me feel very old as I played it as a teenager when it launched, using (I believe) an AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition and 9600 GT. Oh how times have changed. Now, Microsoft has updated its system requirements to 16 GB of…
