Warhorse reveals Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 players have killed 5.4 million enemies while drunk, and I’m just surprised that number isn’t higher because Drinking is the best skill

It’s been a full 365 days since Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 came out, and to celebrate the occasion, Warhorse is partaking in the time-honored game dev tradition of sharing peculiar or funny stats about how people played it. The infographic, painted in the RPG’s signature medieval gothic art style, starts with a big number: our…

7 years after it was pulled from Steam, Poker Night at the Inventory is coming back in March, and yes, so are the free Team Fortress 2 unlockables

Poker Night at the Inventory was, for a very brief time, kind of a phenom in the world of videogames. A relatively early Telltale release, it was a poker game starring four big-at-the-videogame characters: Max from Sam and Max, Strong Bad’s Homestar Runner, the needs-no-introduction Heavy, and Tycho from the Penny Arcade webcomic. It was…

Mike Morhaime’s Dreamhaven continues to look for a hit, this time with a ‘run-based’ spin-off of Sunderfolk without the phone controls

Dreamhaven, the company unveiled in 2020 by Blizzard co-founder Mike Morhaime, has something new(ish) in the works, a “tactics roguelike game” for 1-4 players called Shadowstone that’s set to launch later this year. Shadowstone is being developed by Secret Door, the team behind the 2025 tactics RPG Sunderfolk, and you may notice a certain similarity…

Of course there’s a tiny Bridgerton reference in The Sims Royalty & Legacy expansion because it’s basically a Lady Whistledown simulation

The next Sims 4 expansion, Royalty & Legacy, launches next week and the details we’ve seen so far are all to do with family legacy and scandals.

MindsEye was one of the most catastrophic game launches of 2025 but the studio refuses to quit: Its ‘most significant post-launch update’ is now live and an expansion is coming later this year

I use the word “catastrophic” quite a lot—it’s one of those things that just happens when you write about videogames for a living—but there are few games more deserving of the term than MindsEye, one of 2025’s biggest flops. A rough pre-release led into an even worse launch: Player counts on Steam were microscopic, layoffs…

Overwatch 2 drops the 2 and goes back to being Overwatch as Blizzard launches its biggest update ever next week: ‘We want to gain players’ confidence, we want them to have trust in the game’

The last thing I expected Blizzard to do was to change the name of Overwatch 2 back to just “Overwatch” four years after it came out. But as announced during the recent Spotlight video, that is exactly what Blizzard’s doing. Most of the sequel’s life has been about earning that 2, so why change it…

Documents detailing technical aspects of what’s thought to be its next-gen Zen 6 CPUs have been posted on AMD’s website. The most significant covers AMD’s adoption of Intel’s so-called ‘FRED’ interrupt handling.
