When we first started working on Death Howl, if you had told me we were building an “open world, soulslike deckbuilder,” I would have looked at you with a fair bit of confusion. It sounds like a recipe made out of components that don’t naturally fit together. Yet, as we prepare to bring the journey…
Winter roadmap reveals all. Assassin’s Creed Shadows arrived as an almost complete package on Switch 2 at the end of last year. The only content missing from this portable version was the Claws of Awaji expansion — which had landed on other systems back in September — for which Ubisoft provided a vague ‘coming later…
NetEase’s tumultuous relationship with its own western studios shows no sign of abating, as action-adventure studio Anchor Point declares it’s parting ways with the corporation and going independent. The shift was announced by Anchor Point CEO (and former lead designer on Remedy’s Control) Paul Ehreth on LinkedIn (via Game Developer). “We will be transitioning to…
Is it just me, or does it feel like everything is just about to spiral out of control with this AI-memory-boom-chatbot-slop-crisis thing?

Have you herd the wonderfoal word of HORSE. In the magazine business, the back page is where you’d find all the weird goofs that we couldn’t fit in anywhere else. Some may call it “filler”; we prefer “a whole page to make terrible jokes that are tangentially related to the content of the mag”. We…
The fight against the gorilla inexplicably piloting a boat was the moment Sea of Remnants got me. I’ve never played a gacha game so bizarre and committed to creating a world so much different than most of the other popular games in the genre. But for as much as it ditches the anime conventions and…
Microsoft Edge: many a PC Gamer knows it as a stepping stone between them and their actual browser of choice—no matter how much the software pleads with you to reconsider. But rather than simply dismissing this as looking a bit desperate, the Browser Choice Alliance argues this is just one instance of ‘deceptive tactics‘ by…
Overwatch‘s story is a bit all over the place; there’s no denying it. Nearly a decade on from the launch of the first game, we’re still more or less where we began—Winston’s recalling old agents—only, finally, there’s an actual villain: Vendetta’s Talon.

If you didn’t know that, then you likely also don’t know that, in those two cursed years, Motorola showed off a password pill you swallow as a form of password authentication. Yeah, 2013 was weird.
