Discord has announced that, in March 2026, it will begin rolling out what it calls “teen-by-default settings” for everyone worldwide, requiring all users to complete an age verification process to avoid restrictions on content, settings, and communication. That process will require you to either scan your face or submit your government-issued ID. While Discord says…
Romeo Is a Dead Man, which launches this week, is a dizzying mismash of styles: 3D graphics, 2D animation, comic book cutscenes, 8- and 16-bit minigames, and more, intentionally jarring as it swaps from one to the next. Romeo’s hack-and-slash action is a lot more familiar. It’s similar enough to producer Suda51’s No More Heroes…
Remedy Entertainment’s new CEO is Jean-Charles Gaudechon, a former Electronic Arts and CCP Games executive who most recently headed up a couple of sports betting platforms. Gaudechon is not a name you likely recognize from his time at EA or CCP, but Remedy said he “held senior executive positions with full P&L responsibility” at both…
Instead of hunting the monsters, you’ll get to become the monsters in the Roblox adventure game Creatures of Sonaria. The roster is filled with kaiju-like critters to collect and power up, but customization is where it’s really at as Sonaria lets you paint and detail all of your big beasties.

He barely comes up to waist height when standing next to the towering tank Abrams, and if he crouches, he’s about the size of one of the breakable gold jars that decorate the map. He’s adorable! He’s also sneaky and…
“Eugh,” we said, back in 2025 when Discord began “an experiment” in which some users were asked to scan their faces or IDs in order to verify that they were old enough to access sensitive content. But experiments, generally speaking, are tests, and tests, generally speaking, are something you do in pursuit of a particular…
Being set in the Warcraft universe lets Hearthstone’s developers do pretty much whatever they want with familiar moments in its history, so its next expansion puts a dark spin on a critical time in World of Warcraft. Hearthstone: Cataclysm is what would’ve happened if the big evil dragon, Deathwing, took over WoW in 2010 and…
If you want to make god laugh, tell him your plans. If you want to make Gabe Newell laugh, tell him your planned 1.0 launch date. Good news: that second one’s getting easier, because Steam has implemented a new feature that lets early access devs slap that date right there on the store page. But,…
With Intel’s Nova Lake desktop CPUs expected to land later this year, we have finally got our first major leak of the motherboard chipsets to support them. The big takeaway is that they aren’t all that different from the previous generation, but there now appear to be three of interest for prospective gamers. Leaker Jaykihn…
