Blackfrost: The Long Dark 2 is in development and will hit early access in 2026. The announcement came during the 2024 The Game Awards, with a gorgeous trailer showing a considerably more varied color palette than what we saw in the brilliant original. Better still, this instalment will add co-op. While that early access launch…
The first game revealed at The Game Awards tonight is Ninja Gaiden: Deathbound, which marks the series’ return to its 2D platformer roots and the first entry in the series since 2014’s poorly received spin-off Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z. Ragebound has an impressive pedigree: Blasphemous creators The Game Kitchen is developing in conjunction with Teenage…
It’s the end of the year, so of course thoughts are going to start moving on towards the future, to what’s coming down the pipe for the next go around the local shining celestial body. But we are also at the end of one whole generation of graphics cards and have just seen the very…

Barrett says in his suit that the companies engaged in the “brazen scheme” to avoid paying him more…
Old-timey extraction shooter Hunt: Showdown (or Hunt: Showdown 1896, to use its more formal name as of the 2.0 update) is not something we’d reasonably describe as a ‘normie’ shooter. Creepy hoarder bosses who throw balls of barbed wire at you, giant beetles that you can use as exploding drones, and a commitment to slow,…
Path of Exile 2 hit early access last Friday, and although I’m sure it will be weeks or even months before the community hammers out the finely tuned killing machines that will form the top meta, we’ve got some early contenders. I spent most of my weekend tinkering around with a fire Chronomancer and learning…
