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…
Lethal Company is a hard act to follow. A multiplayer hit so singular that it defined a whole subgenre of chaotic multiplayer survival job simulators, with REPO being the biggest recently. So what’s solo creator Zeekerss doing next? Clearly not letting the fame and money go to his head. He’s returning to finish an old…
It’s always a privilege speaking to the creative minds behind a game you’ve spent thousands of hours playing, in no small part because you get the chance to ask them questions about changes you think the community will be concerned about. That was the case a couple of weeks ago when, after playing a preview…
Yesterday brought our first proper look at The Witcher 4, thanks to a highly impressive tech demo, and the Ciri-led sequel is now CDPR’s next big thing. PCG’s Josh Wolens recently sat down with several of the studio’s core figures to discuss the series’ past and future and, with this happening around The Witcher 3’s…
For as long as mankind has gazed up at the stars, it has been seized by a dream: to journey out there, into the void, to stand eye-to-eye with God, to slip the surly bonds of Earth, venture into space, and establish responsible local government. No Man’s Sky’s latest in a frankly unbelievable line of…
We recently sat down with both CD Projekt Red and Epic to find out a little bit more about that, well, epic Witcher 4 tech demo and what the new Unreal Engine 5.6 brings to game development. The main takeaway is that their collaboration won’t just make Witcher 4 an incredible open-world experience. It looks…
