Xbox’s upcoming showcase will visit the “legendary” team. The Pokémon developer Game Freak recently released the DLC Mega Dimension, so what’s it up to beyond this? In case you missed it when it was revealed last year, the studio has a new action RPG Beast of Reincarnation in the pipeline. In an update this week,…
It’s happening again. You’ve ignored your body’s alarms and pushed yourself well beyond the threshold of exhaustion. It’s Monday, or maybe Thursday, but who’s keeping track anymore? Your body moves independently from thought—either unconcerned or incapable of addressing the growing detachment—and you repeat the same, torturous daily routine with a mechanical ease. You’re not physically…
We all save scummed in Baldur’s Gate 3—except, apparently, for my friend Jack and coworker Morgan Park. They both accidentally killed everyone at the Last Light Inn and just kept trucking. As part of Larian’s big Divinity AMA on Reddit, the game’s writing director, Adam Smith, revealed how the studio is factoring players’ save scumming…
League of Legends looks unrecognizable in 2025 when compared to its cartoonier, humbler 2009 incarnation. And yet, while Summoner’s Rift has been dotted with all sorts of new jungle monsters, balance tweaks, and visual overhauls, the actual map has changed only slightly. Occasionally a different mode is introduced with a new map, but those rarely…
Not that there was much doubt, but now it’s confirmed, and it’s good news for Larian fans. Borislav Slavov, the creator of the Baldur’s Gate 3 and Divinity: Original Sin 2 soundtracks, is composing the music for the studio’s next game, Divinity. “We wouldn’t be able to stop him even if we wanted to,” Larian…
Does your choice of fashion say something about your behavior in Arc Raiders? As I pore over this “Raider Outfit Danger Scale” created by Reddit user abeetabee and marvel at its anecdotal accuracy, it’s hard to argue there isn’t a correlation. Some threads just scream “this guy is totally going to shoot me when I…
It’s not enough to slay thousands of monsters simply for the fun of it. What if all that bloodshed was to show off how much better you are at it than the rest of them? After years of asking for it, Diablo 4 players are finally getting leaderboards—and a new mode to go with them—in…
I feel like Bill Murray in Groundhog Day because the year was 2022 when I first watched EA tease the “next generation Sims game” with the codename Project Rene. Two years later it said “actually that’s not the Sims 5 though” and spent another year being weird and silent before finally admitting today that yeah,…
Remember that Divinity reveal trailer at The Game Awards? It was a banger, alright, from the puke-eating pigs to the orgy in front of the guys getting burned to death Wicker Man-style and then the big finish, where everyone dies horrifically—except the pig, which I thought was a nice touch. It is dark, to put…
I’m going to hold your hand when I say this: Project Rene is a mobile game. When EA first teased the next Sims game, we understandably thought the pretty new lighting engine shots it showed off meant we were looking at The Sims 5. After a couple agonizing years of leaks, silence, rumors, and speculation,…
