Sweet liberty, the Illuminate are moving an entire wormhole across Helldivers 2’s galaxy map to slam dunk it into Super Earth like a basketball

Oh, sweet liberty above—so, you know that big space hole that Helldivers 2 players accidentally tore open back in June of last year? Firstly, stop giggling at the phrase ‘big space hole’, it’s undemocratic. Secondly, I officially rescind my advice to stop worrying about it, because the Illuminate are, uh, moving it. Towards Super Earth….

Marvel Rivals devs conducted ‘exhaustive research’ to come up with the game’s roster of heroes and abilities so it could live up to ‘exceptionally high player expectations’

I used to go to every single midnight showing of an MCU film, but after Avengers: Endgame, that dedication slowly waned as I found it impossible to enjoy the films on offer with the same enthusiasm that I used to. I thought I might just be tired of superheroes in general, but it wasn’t until…

Hi-Rez will only be giving ‘minor updates’ to Smite and Paladins now it’s laying off around 70 employees, but don’t worry, Smite 2 is the ‘primary focus of the newly streamlined operations’

Hi-Rez, who some of us on staff haven’t exactly forgiven for slowly dropping Tribes: Ascend way back when, has more or less proven that time is a flat circle by doing almost the exact same thing with its current games, Smite and Paladins.

Vanished for a year, early access dev returns to announce a crisis taught them ‘videogames ain’t it’ and end development on ‘singleplayer EVE’ they’ve been making since 2019

I’ve always had a soft spot for Astrox Imperium, an early access game that first hit Steam all the way back in 2019, and that aimed to be, in the words of every other review on its page, a “singleplayer EVE Online“. You have a ship, a universe, and all the dreams you can fill…
