The Witcher 4 doesn’t have a release date yet, although it’s a safe assumption that it remains a long way off. The real optimists out there might be hoping that it’ll be out sometime before the end of 2026—that’s nearly two years away, after all—but I’m sorry to say that CD Projekt threw a bucket…
In Dwarf Fortress, aquifers are a scourge. They’re layers of subterranean, water-bearing rock that continually, endlessly leak when breached by dwarven miners. They can be managed and even exploited with careful construction, but in my experience, their main utility is proving that—no matter how competent at Dwarf Fortress I might get—I’m only one overlooked, unsealed…
Spend enough time running errands and beating up thugs in the Like a Dragon (née Yakuza) series, and you’ll likely be able to find your way around Tokyo’s real-life red light district, Kabukichō—that’s how close to the real thing Sega got with its fictional recreation of Kamurochō. Over some 20 years of games Sega has…
I like Pacific Drive an awful lot—87 hours into it so far, so says Steam—but there’s one thing about it that’s always kind of irritated me: The lack of a mid-run save feature. I’m hardly alone in that feeling, as a quick dig through Reddit or the Steam forums will reveal, but the good news…
After leaving the company in 2019, former Blizzard CEO Mike Morhaime announced in 2020 that he’d founded Dreamhaven, a new game publisher seeking to “reimagine the studio model.” In 2024, Secret Door—the first of Dreamhaven’s two in-house studios staffed by Blizzard veterans—revealed Sunderfolk, a tabletop-inspired tactical RPG. Today, in a showcase presented by The Game…
Less than a month ago, the Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 modding community was turning everyone in the game into perfectly round balls of flesh. But fashions change quickly in the medieval world. Fat is out and thin is in, courtesy of this mod that transforms every KCD 2 character into an actual skeleton. “Here’s a…
The last couple of months have been packed with massive games. Monster Hunter Wilds, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Split Fiction, and Fragpunk have all proved enormously popular with players, and let’s not forget the leftfield indie smash that is REPO. But which of these games has the fattest stacks this week—which of…
Even if you haven’t yet played Nate Purkeypile’s most recent game, “heavy metal horror” hunting game The Axis Unseen, you’ve probably played at least one of his games at some point. Purkeypile, founder of Just Purkey Games, worked on BloodRayne 2, Aeon Flux, and Metroid Prime 3, then spent a full 14 years at Bethesda…
One running joke that has always alarmed my friends is how nice I think a Fallout apocalypse would be. Not on ground zero, mind, I’m talking about getting to sleep for 100 years (which I could really use right about now) in a cryovat, to then wake up and get to explore a new untamed…
Assassin’s Creed Shadows is doing very well. Incredibly well. You wouldn’t believe how well it’s doing. But despite it all, it’s not doing quite as well as AC Valhalla did back in November 2020—Shadows is the second-biggest launch in the series’ long history, not the first. But per an internal Ubisoft email seen by IGN,…
