World of Warcraft‘s latest patch, 12.0.5, was a bit of a doozy—flooded with bugs from small irritants to busted classes, head-scratching design decisions, and raid-scuppering glitches.

Atari has made some exciting acquisitions over the last few years, including the likes of Digital Eclipse and Nightdive Studios, but it looks like it isn’t through yet.

In the month since Archetype Entertainment gave us our first look at its sci-fi RPG Exodus, there’s been a drip-feed of teasers showcasing gunfights, the exploration of alien worlds, stealth and a man looking out of his balcony.

Bird-wise, you can befriend anything from a common variety Sparrow, to a legendary Phoenix, but first you’ll have to…
In what’s looking to be The Year of Linux (TM) as well as the year of the RAMpocalypse and future market uncertainty, it’s perhaps not surprising that some would try to get their hands on a solid, performant, and most importantly modular and upgradeable laptop that plays well with Linux.

“Coordinated execution is the key to victory”. I certainly didn’t have this on my 2026 bingo card, but Sunsoft is reviving its 1998 PS1 action adventure title Hard Edge (also known as T.R.A.G.: Tactical Rescue Assault Group – Mission of Mercy) as a tactical card battler. Hard Edge – War Zone has been confirmed for…

Go on, tell us. Since the launch of the Switch 2 last June, Ubisoft has supported Nintendo’s new hybrid platform with Star Wars Outlaws and Assassin’s Creed Shadows.
