Earlier today, CD Projekt Red presented a Witcher 4 tech demo at Epic’s State of Unreal event, showing off a first look at what the Ciri-centric sequel might look like in motion. And to set aside my professional remove for a moment, I’ll confess that the demo got me. Against my better judgment, I was…
I hope you weren’t too excited about the prospect of private servers for Old School Runescape, because Jagex has announced that Project Zanaris—the OSRS “community servers” initiative announced in 2024—has been paused “indefinitely.” And it sure doesn’t sound like it’ll be restarted, as developers previously working on the project “have been redistributed across Jagex or…
Happy Not-E3 month. We’re officially in that short few weeks of the year where the games industry comes together to announce as much as humanly possible before dispersing to prepare for the same thing next summer. That means our event schedule is unsurprisingly packed, but let’s not lose sight of all the PC game releases…
It’s been just under a decade since the last Metal Gear Solid released (no, I don’t count Survive), and the series is finally making a comeback with a remake of its best game—and the best game ever made, if you ask me. Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is a full remake of 2004’s Metal…
Almost six years after Norman Reedus first picked up that baby in a jar and chucked his urine at goop monsters, Hideo Kojima has returned with Death Stranding 2: On The Beach. While the studio is working on a horror game (OD) and not-Metal Gear (Physint), the follow-up to Kojima Productions’ debut game is the…
Less than six months after laying off an estimated 70 people, Smite 2 developer Hi-Rez Studios has made another round of cuts. But this time, rather than rank-and-file employees, the layoffs are focused on “senior management positions” near the top of the company’s food chain. The layoffs were first reported week by former Hi-Rez designer…
Dune: Awakening is almost here! After a slight delay from a planned May release, Funcom’s new survival MMO set in the Dune universe is now set to launch in June, giving players the chance to build bases, harvest spice, engage in politics and PvP (there’s a difference?), and get swallowed whole by massive sandworms. Dune:…
Slay the Spire 2 is on its way in 2025, marking both the return of the king of roguelike deckbuilders and the definitive end to your free time. I’m so sorry. After entering early access in 2017, Slay the Spire landed itself a reputation as something of an indie masterpiece, and in the process managed…
Less than two months after releasing the open-world survival game RuneScape: Dragonwilds into early access on Steam, Jagex has laid off an unspecified number of employees. The studio says the vast majority of cuts are being made in “non-game development roles,” and won’t have any impact on the future development. The layoffs first came to…
I hadn’t heard of Russian Fishing 4 until PCG’s Wes Fenlon noticed it was weirdly popular on Steam. The game’s been available since 2018, launching on Steam in November 2021, and since then it’s steadily built a considerable audience over time: per SteamDB’s three year charts, it was pulling in around 7,000 concurrent players after…
