66 members of The Game Awards Future Class, a program intended to honor people “who represent the bright, bold, and inclusive future for video games,” and hundreds of others involved with the videogame industry have signed an open letter calling for a statement acknowledging the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza during The Game Awards show…
There’s more bad news out of struggling gaming conglomerate Embracer: The company has confirmed that approximately 50 employees are being laid off from Chorus developer Fishlabs, and is also reportedly looking at closing TimeSplitters studio Free Radical Design completely. Fishlabs is best known for the well-received “sentient starfighter” sim Chorus, but it’s also had a…
I suppose it was only a matter of time before Taskmaster got its own VR game. The game show, in case you’re unfamiliar with it, is about giving celebrities and comedians increasingly absurd tasks to fulfil—with very few clues on how to get those tasks done.

The Emerald Mark of Mastery in World of Warcraft is rewarded for completing the achievement, Dragonflight Season 3 Master.

Our superchiefintendo Dave pointed me to this one and well, you can’t deny that it’s definitely a thing. What you’ve got is a wireless headset that’s been modded to sport a…
Disney Lorcana’s sure been interesting to follow. Aside from the big, dramatic lawsuit where the words “the legal equivalent of alchemy” were used in a courtroom, it’s also picked up some pretty good steam as a competitive card game. Which shouldn’t be a surprise, really: When you see an Elsa card going up on eBay…
Well, where to start? In the long list of bizarre product branding tie-ins there have been some notable releases that have made us shake our heads in disbelief, but this one may just take the dunked biscuit. Yorkshire Tea, maker of teabags and tea-related paraphernalia in the UK, has added two new additions to its…
Critical Role is pretty much the biggest livestreamed D&D campaign, by sheer popularity and volume alone. Starting halfway through the group’s home game in 2015, to call the game’s rise to popularity ‘meteoric’ is an understatement.
