Project Sirius, the Witcher spinoff game that was announced in October 2022 and has struggled ever since, has a new lead writer: Former Bungie senior narrative designer and narrative lead Kwan Perng, who comes to the role after four years of helping to shape the post-launch world of Destiny 2. Perng announced his new gig…
You almost certainly know actor Troy Baker for at least one of his game roles over the past decade. Joel in The Last of Us. Indiana Jones in the Great Circle. The Joker. And if you follow games you’re nearly as likely to know the work of composer Austin Wintory, who’s behind the award-winning music…
Fully motion-captured performance for games “was in its infancy at the time, when I got the job,” remembers Matt Ryan, who starred as swashbuckler Edward Kenway in 2013’s Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag. Forms of motion capture have been used to make games for decades, of course: in the 1980s Prince of Persia creator Jordan Mechner…
While Windows has represented my go-to operating system more often than not, that doesn’t mean I especially like using it. Microsoft appears to be all too aware of begrudging use cases such as my own, as it’s recently committed to making all things Windows 11 ‘better‘. Most recently, it’s Windows’ drivers that are enjoying a…
Paralives is finally right around the corner—it’s launching into early access on May 25 following last year’s delay. As that day quickly approaches, Paralives Studio is well and truly dangling the carrot in front of us with a nine-minute video showcasing some of the bits we can expect.

Tom Kane, the prolific voice actor with credits across Star Wars, the Lord of the Rings, Batman, and plenty else besides, has died aged 64, his talent agency reports. You have almost certainly encountered Tom Kane’s work before, if not in the 100+ videogames he appeared in, then in any number of movies or TV…
Biomods are effectively your skills in Subnautica 2. Some are active effects, like dashing to avoid predators or producing a jolt of electricity, but most of them are passive buffs that go a long way in making life under the waves easier. You’ll have access to only a handful of Biomods at the start of…
International police organisation Interpol has announced the arrest of 201 individuals as part of “Operation Ramz“, a multinational effort to target phishing operations, malware threats, and “cyber scams” in the Middle East and North Africa region. The “first of its kind” operation involved the participation of 13 countries and resulted in the seizure of 53…
If you’re trying to fix the Power Plant in Subnautica 2, you’ve likely realised that you need to power up the area in order to access the Observatory—that big tower near the Alien Ruins. This is your big story objective in early access, and actually concludes the narrative so far when you do get inside,…
Though I have a lot to say about it from a technical perspective, I don’t think I have that much to say about the Razer Kiyo V2. That’s because, after testing tons of 4K webcams, it’s pretty middling. Its quality is worse than the more expensive DLSR-like Yolocam S3 but better than the value-oriented Obsbot…
