The new trailer for Remedy’s co-op FPS features explosive pink goop and flying desk chairs, so it’s still looking like the silliest thing they’ve made

There’s a guy in FBC: Firebreak‘s newest trailer getting absolutely pummeled—a highlight reel shows him electrocuting himself, going blind in a blizzard of sticky notes, going blind in an actual blizzard, and screaming “I’M PINK!” as he combusts in a pile of explosive pink sludge. It seems like a pretty standard day of work, though,…

Rebellion’s CEO says ‘it looks like we want to do more Atomfall’ but it will depend on whether the studio can ‘find the resources to do it’

Rebellion’s open world shooter Atomfall released in March among some stiff competition, landing in the same month as Hazelight’s cooperative hit Split Fiction and a week after the massively popular Assassin’s Creed Shadows.

Painkiller’s new weapons trailer gives us a good look at the reboot’s guns, and I’m delighted to see that its iconic stake launcher still skewers enemies to walls

I was excited when the Painkiller reboot was formally revealed back in March, but also apprehensive. Anshar Studios’ revival of People Can Fly’s 2004 shooter looks exactly how I imagined a modern take on the game would. But it also has a co-operative emphasis, and I’m uncertain how this will mix with the series’ brutal…

After a disastrous recent update and a flurry of attempts to fix it, Path of Exile 2’s next patch will bring ‘two highly sought after improvements’

Path of Exile 2‘s recent 0.2.0 update did not go down well with players.
