Today, after 10 expansions, three episodes, 30 seasons, and almost nine years, Bungie announced that Destiny 2’s live service development is coming to an end on June 9, 2026. It isn’t surprising news: To the culture at large, Destiny 2 has become less of a game in earnest and more of a measuring stick for…
I’m 44 years old, and my first-ever PC was my dad’s hand-me-down ZX Spectrum. I’m not sure of the first game I played, but the first one I remember is Horace Goes Skiing. The humble Speccy kicked off the hobby of a lifetime: my habits may have changed over the years, but gaming has been…
Rockstar parent Take-Two Interactive has been adamant that the November 19 release date for Grand Theft Auto 6 is on track, but doubts have lingered: The game has already been delayed twice, after all. But at this point it looks solid: With just six months to go, Take-Two reaffirmed the date in today’s FY2026 financial…
I love the convenience of Steam, particularly in this era of gigabit downloads, cloud saves, and being able to resume a desktop gaming session from the couch on my Steam Deck. But sometimes I stumble across an image from the Old Days so potent it knocks me back in my chair and makes me think,…
Destiny 2 is over. Bungie announced today that its last “live service” update is coming in June, after which Bungie will move on to other projects it has “incubating.” Fans are naturally upset, though not entirely caught off guard: The mood is rueful and a bit resigned, with plenty of gallows humor and speculation about…
Former BioWare developers launching their own studios may not be the biggest news of all time—lots of them have done it, to varying degrees of success—but the premise of the debut project in the works at Studio Reset has me intrigued: It’s “a neon-noir supernatural mystery game set in a stylized Canadian cityscape.” It’s not…
Like a toothy, grinning leviathan prowling the depths, waiting for unsuspecting explorers to come toodling along in hopelessly delicate, defenseless mini-subs Subnautica 2 continues its reign of terror: Unknown Worlds announced today that the game has now surpassed 4 million sales in less that one week. The latest sales milestone comes after Subnautica 2 pushed…
It’s the true end of an era, as Bungie has announced that Destiny 2’s “live service content update” on June 9 will be its last. “While our love for Destiny 2 has not changed,” the studio wrote in today’s shocking announcement, “it has become clear that after The Final Shape, we have reached the time…
Bad news, gang: war is dawning. Four. Uh, I mean there were a bunch of Dawn of War 4-related announcements at Warhammer Skulls, including the game’s release date. The game will hit on September 17 this year, unless you forked out for the whizzbang Commander Edition, in which case you get it three days earlier…
I’ll keep this brief: I played some Boltgun 2 and I’m still buzzing about it. It’s extremely similar to the first Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun, but more and different. It could be a perfect sequel. I already consider the original Boltgun a nearly perfect throwback FPS (or boomer shooter if you prefer) for the way it…
