Brigador Killers’ demo has one of my new favorite videogame tutorials: You control a giant rolling pinball of a mech as it rolls down a long corridor, a ghostly computer voice urging you on. “YOUR PEOPLE KILLED FOR PROFIT,” it declares. “TAKE WHAT THEY TOOK FROM YOU.” You’re then let loose in a bustling city…

The last few times Square Enix has unveiled the name of a new Final Fantasy 14 expansion, I’ve wondered whether the team plans to stick to its love for a good compound word. As it turns out, the answer is “yes” every time: Heavensward, Stormblood, Shadowbringers, Endwalker, Dawntrail, and now the upcoming Evercold. But as…
Instructure, the company behind cloud-based learning management system Canvas, has suffered a massive data breach. Ransomware group ShinyHunters has since claimed responsibility for the attack, alleging that it has exfiltrated data tied to 280 million teachers, school staff, and students.

Resident Evil Requiem has received a new bonus mode in a free update, and by golly it’s fabulous. It also has a great name: Leon Must Die Forever.
