Between getting beaten up by blister head zombies and running for dear life from The Girl, I spent a great deal of time, perhaps too much time, trying to figure out how the hell I could solve The Final Puzzle in Resident Evil Requiem. After hours and hours of staring at a bunch of numbers…
Visiting developer Rebel Wolves in Warsaw earlier this month, one of the first things that greeted me was its slogan, painted in big letters on the wall: “A studio born out of love for RPGs.” Its first game, The Blood of Dawnwalker, certainly fits the bill—a hugely ambitious sandbox in which half-human, half-vampire Coen must…
Ever since its first announcement in January last year, The Blood of Dawnwalker has looked extremely promising. An ambitious RPG from former The Witcher 3 devs is always going to catch our eye here at PC Gamer, and its vampiric twist—by day you’re a normal human, by night you’re a supernatural bloodsucker, and your approach…
There’s an excited energy at Rebel Wolves’ Warsaw studio. For the first time since Gamescom 2025, the development team is showing off an extended live demo of its vampire-laden, open-world RPG, The Blood of Dawnwalker, as it nears release on PS5 September 3. Play Video Within minutes of the extensive presentation it’s easy to see…
Rightward Sword or A Left to the Past? The Zelda series has a passionate and devoted fanbase. Over the years, timelines have been debated, settled, shaken up, or outright ignored. Storylines have been contested, shredded apart, put on a pedestal. But nothing, not even recovering the Triforce, is more important than making sure Link is…
Resident Evil Requiem offered up two protagonists, two ways of playing its horror game, and two perspectives, with the choice to switch between first and third person at any point throughout the game players could finally decide just how scary they wanted to make things. If I’m honest, I reluctantly did my first playthrough as…
Patch 7.5 for Final Fantasy 14 landed today, and with it a strange appearance in the inventories for some players: an adorable otter backpack that reminds me of those weird Loungefly bags that seem to permeate every pop culture store in the UK. It wasn’t mentioned in the patch notes, and stuff randomly appearing without…
Much of the die space of modern GPUs is given over to functionality that’s not part of the traditional rendering pipeline. Sometimes, that feels like a bit of a waste. Which is why Microsoft’s new Shader Model 6.10 preview, announced yesterday, could be mostly good news. It’s making matrix math part of the official DirectX…
In the last few years, I’ve found myself asking ‘What are webcams for?’ The obvious answer is meetings and online social gatherings, but I wonder how many use their ever-expanding feature set for anything more. Yololiv shoves DSLR-quality 4K capture into its relatively small YoloCam S3, and I’m more torn on it than I thought…
Riven Tides is Arc Raiders‘ biggest update yet, and it brings yet another player project for you to work through. This time, it’s the Avian Alarm project, which sees you employing a bunch of birds to monitor seismic activity and atmospheric changes in Speranza. Like previous player projects, you’ll need to scrounge up a bunch…
