A possible social media ban for children in the UK could be expanded to games, the government’s online safety minister has suggested. Speaking to The Sunday Times (via Game Developer) Kanishka Narayan said that a ban on social media for teenagers—which is being considered by the UK following a social media ban being implemented in…
At today’s Summer Game Fest showcase, we learned that a pair of new Cuphead games are in development. One is a “hand-animated” successor to the original 2017 sidescroller, which emulates golden age cartoons. The other is retro in a different way: “an 8-bit action platformer named Mighty Cuphead Adventure.” The really notable thing about Mighty…
The Wolf Among Us was one of Telltale’s most loved games, and when the studio returned to life under new management in 2019, one of the first things it did was announce that The Wolf Among Us 2 is happening. And then we waited, and waited, and waited some more: A 2024 promise that yes,…
One of the most puzzling trailers from today’s Summer Game Fest was the one for Haex, the debut game from developer Dead Astronauts. It opens with some pretty normal-looking guns pointed at some pretty normal-looking sci-fi monsters, but my mind keeps coming back to that cube. That damn cube. It looks like a Rubik’s cube…
N Plus Infinity Times Two is the newly announced follow-up to Metanet’s beloved N++. The latter had a killer soundtrack, especially for those among us who scour Hardwax and Boomkat daily for blink-and-you’ll-miss-it vinyl pressings of austere techno. In a medium where many studios opt for chiptune or generic filmic string orchestras, it was a…
GOG has apologized for a “Slavic adventure” newsletter sent out today that featured a number of very distinct Nazi runes in its subject line. To be clear, this is not a misunderstanding, or images that look kind of alike, or a misinterpretation of an ambiguous situation: That’s a Sonnenrad, a kolovrat, and the extremely unmistakable…
As a fan of fishing in games, my ears perked up at the sound of a rod and reel during Summer Games Fest. It was the trailer for Last Harbor, where the fishing quickly turned from a peaceful pastime to a struggle for survival. That’s because this isn’t just a fishing game, it’s a co-op…
At today’s Summer Game Fest, one reveal in particular had me leaning forward with great interest: a follow-up to Guild Wars 2, a game I have well over a thousand hours in. It’s where I experienced one of my most treasured MMO thrills ever: completing the mapwide boss encounter Dragon’s Stand for the first time….
A sequel to horny action game Stellar Blade was announced at Summer Game Fest, and my first reaction upon seeing it was that I’m not sure GPU is up to the task. That futuristic city looks cool, but phew, even the trailer seems to struggle in moments. I don’t know if I’d be able to…
More than a decade after the release of one of the best action platformers ever made, N Plus Infinity Times Two is the next ninja parkour movement sim from Canada’s Metanet Software. If you love N++ I know what you’re probably thinking: decade old or not, that game has over 4,000 levels, and it got…
