Less than a week after Crystal Dynamics laid off 17 employees “to better align our current business needs,” Eidos Montreal has announced that it’s letting go of “up to 75” employees, saying it doesn’t currently have sufficient work to justify keeping them around. “Today, we informed our studio staff that we are going to let…
At GDC 2025, I spoke with Tarn Adams, co-creator and lead programmer of Dwarf Fortress, about the past, present, and future of his 23-year procgen masterwork. We talked about how the looming threat of aquifer flooding encapsulates his approach to Dwarf Fortress difficulty and how he’s generally bummed about AI. Towards the end of our…
If you’re a RuneScape lifer who’s ever thought that it might be nice to have some RuneScape in a game that isn’t RuneScape, then Jagex has, maybe, just the thing. RuneScape: Dragonwilds is an open world survival crafting game for 1-4 players that’s set to launch into early access this spring. This isn’t actually the…
A new report in Asia Today (spotted by IGN) says that four different Korean publishers are pitching StarCraft games to Blizzard, in the latest attempt to bring back the iconic RTS franchise.

At an announcement event in sunny Lisbon, Portugal this weekend, I was assured by various company spokespeople that while there’s no perfect monitor for all gamers, AOC hopes to offer “the perfect monitor for YOU” between all of its offerings.

Around this time last year, on the day of the April fool, Palworld made a funny little jest towards the gaming public—what if we do an extremely original joke and say we’re making a visual novel? He he, ho ho, wouldn’t that be a laugh. I can only imagine the meeting that followed where, staring…
As part of the latest Windows Insider Preview build, Microsoft has announced that it’s testing a feature called ‘quick machine recovery’ to prevent widespread outage-related failures. That’ll likely be referring to the CrowdStrike bug then, but Microsoft’s new methodology looks like it might be a promising new way to treat bootlooping nightmares yet to pass….
It won’t have escaped your notice that in recent years, Nvidia has been transitioning away from being ‘just’ a chip designer into a fully-fledged systems integration company. If you want a massive data centre or a host of AI servers, Nvidia will design and build the whole thing for you. And now it seems AMD…
This might be the best fishbowl case on the market right now. That’s a bold statement, I’ll admit, but I’m prepared to back it up. And okay, I suppose it’s probably not a huge surprise, either, given how Lian Li practically invented the entire category to begin with. Its now legendary PC O11 Dynamic was,…
Remember Baldur’s Village, that charming Baldur’s Gate 3 mod for Stardew Valley? It was the one that crammed all the best parts of Larian’s opus in ConcernedApe’s opus, letting you romance Shadowheart and Astarion but, like, on a farm this time. It was a very cool thing that took at least a year to make,…
