Xbox is under fire yet again. It’s teasing layoffs as part of a “reset”, reportedly closing Double Fine, Ninja Theory, and more, and it can’t present a coherent plan—all just days after unveiling upcoming games at its Xbox Games Showcase. Rightfully, Xbox has been criticised by industry figures in response, including a former PlayStation exec….
But not for the reason you might think. There have been many potential Unreal Engine 5 reimaginings of classic games shared on YouTube over the years. However, I’d argue that few have achieved the level of fame that the fan developer Giuseppe Macula’s (CryZENx) remake of the N64 title Ocarina of Time has. Ever since…
Guild Wars 3‘s on the horizon—and as part of that release, developer ArenaNet got a little nostalgic in a news post last week. It shared a healthy handful of details on its incoming MMO, including an aim to fix something that shook PCG’s own Lauren Morton off the second game. It also shared an interesting…

The show itself is still a way off, but we’ve finally seen the official art…
“What it will become is the next challenge”. With origins that go as far back as 1981, Richard Garriott’s Ultima series is one of the most famous in the world of RPGs – which makes the fact that we haven’t had a proper, mainline game since 1999 all the more puzzling. The name is currently…
Every Monday morning I scroll through the previous week’s new games on Steam. I’ve always enjoyed doing this. It can surface niche gems I might otherwise not have found, and it’s also useful for detecting new trends in their infancy. But if I’m perfectly honest, the reason I’ve always loved to browse through Steam’s raw…
Sjoerd De Jong, an Unreal Engine expert from its early days who joined Epic Games full-time in 2014—first as “lead evangelist” and most recently as the senior director of an unannounced project—has left the company, he revealed last week in a LinkedIn post. “After 27 years of Unreal Engine, and 12 years at Epic Games…
Morrowind, the gloomiest and mushroomiest of all the Elder Scrolls games, is getting on in years—and it was never the most polished game in town, even upon its release a whopping 24 years ago. If you’re sick of those rough edges, you need look no further than OpenMW, a fanmade open-source engine which makes the…
Obsidian Entertainment, developer of Fallout: New Vegas, Avowed, and The Outer Worlds, is being sued in a class action lawsuit that alleges it “engaged in a systematic pattern of wage and hour violations under the California Labor Code and Industrial Welfare Commission (‘IWC’) Wage Orders.” As reported by GamesRadar, the case has been ongoing since…
