In the build-up to Skyblivion’s release Bethesda has been rather normal. It’s not only let the modders carry on with their competing Oblivion remaster without any legal qualms, but has also been quite supportive—handing over Oblivion remaster keys and inviting them over to Bethesda HQ for tea and sweet rolls. The trip actually started as…

If there’s one thing I’ve learnt in my hours with Oblivion Remastered, it’s that Oblivion’s dungeons kind of suck. They’re labyrinthine, exist as one of three types, and when you get to the end of them your grand prize often turns out to be, like, 5 gold and a journeyman retort. And then you have…

Final Fantasy 14 has a technical problem—it’s been ongoing for a few months now, but the jist of it is this: A change to the game’s blacklist system, designed to help reduce stalking, accidentally opened the door for modders to obtain info on every character their targets had, making them more vulnerable than they were…

We live in the age of the remaster. From classics of yesteryear, to games that are only five years old, to games you barely remember releasing the first time, it seems that these days almost anything is ripe to return in shinier, cleaned-up, modernised form. And yet… there are still some conspicuous absences in the…

It can be all too easy to think about the environmental impact of AI in the abstract—especially when OpenAI CEO Sam Altman attempts to minimise ChatGPT’s water usage by throwing fractions out. However, for the citizens of Memphis, Tennessee, it’s a subject that hits so close to home that it simply can’t be ignored. The…

Four years ago, Hidden Path Entertainment—the studio behind the Defense Grid series and the codeveloper of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive—posted a bunch of job listings that revealed it was developing a big-budget open world Dungeons & Dragons game. Bad news came in 2024 when its creative director posted on LinkedIn to reveal the studio had spent…

Two days after releasing another update for Stellaris, Paradox says the pace of patches is going to slow down—not because Stellaris 4.0 is in tip-top shape (it’s not), but because firing out updates so quickly is causing more headaches than its worth. Released in early May alongside the not-very-popular BioGenesis expansion, the 4.0 update was…

With the 5v5 soccer game Rematch now in full release, developer Sloclap has issued an apology for waiting until the last minute to tell fans it would not have crossplay at launch—and promising that the feature is coming as soon as possible. Sloclap had previously confirmed that crossplay was in the plan for Rematch, and…

If you’ve got a name like Dimensius, the Void Lord, you probably don’t like the fact that everyone remembers you as a pretty normal-sized quest boss during World of Warcraft’s 2007 Burning Crusade expansion. You’d want to change that, earn that title of Void Lord, and make them fear you. At about 3,806 feet tall,…
