When Konami revealed back in February that it’s finally making a new Castlevania, the teaser trailer’s art and color palette was so reminiscent of the Netflix anime series that it seemed possible the game was actually using the show’s designs, or at least had gotten a little love from the folks at Powerhouse Animation. In…
Aaand relax. Having fought the first three bosses, slain a familiar parade of public domain monsters, and enjoyed many a crack of Castlevania’s new whip, I can confirm that Evil Empire hasn’t followed up The Rogue Prince of Persia with its first bad game. If you’ve been longing for this series to confidently get back…
While I spent much of 2025 obsessed with Blue Prince, PC Gamer’s ‘best design’ GOTY award winner, it wasn’t the only killer puzzle game to release near the beginning of last year. The Roottrees are Dead, a game mostly spent sitting at a computer (yours, and also a virtual one) sussing out what happened to…
I was pretty excited when I read about Marathon’s Vault Breaker PvE mode in June: I like shooting things, and I love the Marathon aesthetic, but the grind of extraction shooters just isn’t my thing.

In a rare reversal of live service demise, a beloved but “dead” live service FPS will not shut down, but instead receive custom server support that ensures it’ll be playable forever. Long live Deceive Inc. The story of Deceive Inc. played out like countless other live service games. The PvP Hitman-like shooter launched to good…
Thanks to his lead role in Christopher Nolan’s adaptation of The Odyssey, which hits theaters this week, a Matt Damon skin has come to Fortnite. The news led us to wonder if Damon had ever appeared in a videogame before. No, as far as I can tell, but he did get close-ish when he was…
We got our yearly ‘KOTOR remake is still alive’ assurance back in March, but they must be making some real progress over there at Saber Interactive because here’s a fresh one: Newly-minted chief business officer Steve Allison said in a recent post that “hopefully” the long-overdue remake will be out in, uhh, 2028. The statement…
A man who was found liable for multiple high-profile hacks including a major leak of Grand Theft Auto 6 footage in 2022 has reportedly been released from the secure hospital where he’d been held since 2023, and is now in prison awaiting a retrial. Arion Kurtaj, who was 18 at the time, was found by…
