Here he is: Young Bond. Not to be confused with James Bond Jr., the Bond starring in Hitman developer IO Interactive’s 007 First Light is “a young, resourceful, and sometimes reckless new recruit” who ended up in the royal navy after “a grand tour of every major boarding school in Britain.” Wouldn’t you know it—Bond’s…
It’s almost hard to make out what’s even happening in the trailer for Romeo is a Dead Man, a new action game from Suda 51’s studio Grasshopper Manufacture, with all the gore covering the screen. The main guy’s head explodes 20 seconds into the trailer and then he’s turns into a cyborg who tears apart…
I’ve lost track of how many times a Final Fantasy Tactics rumor sent me down a desperate rabbit hole, but those days are no more. During today’s PlayStation event, Square Enix revealed Final Fantasy Tactics The Ivalice Chronicles, a remaster of the classic RPG that includes two distinct versions. Surely we’ll all be normal about…
At Sony’s State of Play showcase today, Koei Tecmo announced Nioh 3, its third Soulslike set in a feudal Japan suffering from as many hostile spirits as it is competing warlords. And in Nioh 3, we’ll be playing as one of the biggest possible figures from the Warring States period: Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of…
At today’s State of Play showcase, Sony started the show with what I immediately described as “a Tetris Effect-ass trailer” as a silhouette of a man walked through a shifting, abstract dimension of EDM beats and lyrics about interconnectedness. Well, I was close: courtesy of Tetris Effect creator Tetsuya Mizuguchi, we’re getting a new Lumines….
Five years ago, Capcom showed off what was at the time one of the very first “next-gen” games for the PlayStation 5: Pragmata, an action game seemingly starring an astronaut and a little girl. Three years ago, it not only wasn’t out yet, but was apparently so far from complete that Capcom felt compelled to…
E3 has been deceased long enough that we don’t even refer to June’s flurry of videogame announcements as “the event formerly known as E3” anymore. Thanks to the march of time and the brand-building acumen of Geoff Keighley, it’s just Summer Game Fest now, referring simultaneously to a live showcase hosted by Keighley, an in-person…
While scanning the list of this year’s Summer Game Fest partners, I noticed an unfamiliar logo—an ‘R’ with a lightning bolt—and traced it to a Danish studio I’d never heard of: Raw Power Games, which says it’s making a “vast medieval sandbox.” We love a medieval sandbox at PC Gamer: Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 recently…
Balatro looks like a game that should be filled with microtransactions: More card backs, weird backgrounds, boosters, whatever—the potential for this stuff is virtually limitless. Yet there are none: No MTX, no season passes, no nothing really, except the Friends of Jimbo “collaboration packs,” and they’re free. Why not? “The honest reason I don’t have…
As was foretold, Deltarune chapters 3 and 4 are now live, and in case there was any doubt, yes, it remains a massively popular game—at this moment, it’s the top-selling game on Steam, and amongst the top-ten most played, too. While the release date was known, having been announced in April (although there was apparently…
