It’s been a long wait—over ten years—but our first official look at Grand Theft Auto 6 is nearly here. Rockstar Games will reveal the first trailer for GTA 6 on Tuesday, December 4 on YouTube. We probably shouldn’t be calling it GTA 6, by the way—Rockstar Games hasn’t officially named it that yet, instead calling…
BioWare has dropped a new teaser for Dragon Age: Dreadwolf, offering fans a brief glimpse at some of the realms they’ll travel to in the upcoming RPG—some of them familiar, and some that have never been seen (or even heard of) before. The teaser arrives on Dragon Age Day—imagine the 4 in December 4 as…
Charming pixel art, cute fantasy pirate character designs and a toe-tapping soundtrack (courtesy of prolific synth maestros Fat Bard) can’t entirely carry a game, but they sure help make new Early Access debut Cross Blitz stand out from the rest of the card-battler crowd. A good thing, as without its (deeply) likable aesthetics, it doesn’t…
If you’ve ever thought to yourself that the Payday games are great but they’d be even better if they replaced the guns and bank vaults with swords, spells, and treasure chests, Starbreeze Studios has some oddly-specific good news. Its next big project is a “co-operative multiplayer” game set in the fantasy RPG world of Dungeons…
FromSoftware recently received a gong for Elden Ring at the Japanese PlayStation Partners awards, as part of which producer Yasuhiro Kitao picked up the trophy and said a select few words to the press. The conference was reported on by the publication Game Watch and, as Kitao was speaking in Japanese, this is a lightly…
We lost our way as a society when we stopped making wave-based co-op modes. “Horde mode” (as popularized by Gears of War) became the hot new thing in shooters of the late 2000s, spawning unique interpretations of PvE gauntlets in everything from Left 4 Dead and Call of Duty to Uncharted and even Mass Effect….
A little while before the fifth Patch of Baldur’s Gate 3 came along, I wrote up this news post about a teaser image Larian Studios had shared on Twitter, featuring Withers in a silly little hat warning “fun is mandatory”. I joked about being scared at the time. Little did I know, I was very…
The games industry is on fire. Countless layoffs, anxiety and strife abound. Despite that, 2023 is probably the best year I’ve ever seen for games themselves, with something new and exciting dropping every single day. Forget the award shows, we’re going hipster here—outside of the obvious indie must-haves of the year (such as Pizza Tower…
The latest patch for Baldur’s Gate 3 launched last week—bringing a whole new way to punish yourself along with it: Honour Mode. This permadeath-style challenge tasks you with completing the game before suffering a single party wipe (though you can convert it to a custom game and finish the story if you beef it). As…
The critical success of The Witcher TV series on Netflix has had an industry-wide impact. A Disco Elysium television series was announced in 2020, Netflix’s Cyberpunk 2077 anime from Studio Trigger was a smash, and last week we got the first trailer for Prime Video’s Fallout TV series. Games aren’t just for PCs any more,…
