I was recently visiting friends who have young kids, and like every child on the planet in the year 2026 they love K-Pop Demon Hunters—or at least, most of it. The parents had to fast-forward past “the demon parts,” since they were apparently a bit too scary for at least one member of the under-five…

MORGAN PARK, STAFF WRITER (Image credit: Future) This week: Made progress in Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun, the best throwback FPS I’ve ever played. When a casual FPS enjoyer expresses a preference for a particular feature of Call of Duty, they are unknowingly picking a side. The way soldiers run, how attachments work, the shape of the…
Nightdive VP of business development, Larry Kuperman, has announced his retirement from full-time work in the games industry. Kuperman’s 25-year career in games took him from publisher Stardock to retailer GameStop, but his most defining work was with the preservation specialists at Nightdive. I had the chance to speak with Kuperman about his career and…
French consumer group UFC-Que Choisir, with support from the Stop Killing Games initiative, has filed a lawsuit against Ubisoft over the 2024 shutdown of the racing game The Crew. An announcement on the UFC-Que Choisir (Google translated) says Ubisoft’s decision to close the game and revoke licenses “violated fundamental consumer rights,” and that “players were…
It’s a big day for World of Warcraft secret finders. The final steps of a puzzle that took them over a year to solve have been discovered. Specifically, the 11th and 12th orbs that surround the mysterious Felcycle mount have been lit and the secret is, well, no longer a secret. A little over a…
With its latest patch for Marathon, Bungie has decided that the haunting, derelict expanse of Tau Ceti IV is stressful enough without any adrenaline-crazed acrobats launching themselves across your screen like frenzied, gun-toting cybergibbons. Marathon is now, officially, a No Movement Freak Zone. In its patch notes for Marathon update 1.0.5.2, Bungie says it’s fixed…
This lapsed Arc Raiders player was not ready for the Flashpoint update. I hopped into a Blue Gate match with the new Close Scrutiny condition aiming to have a firsthand encounter with the Vaporizer, the fresh ARC drone unleashed topside. Mistake! The first thing I witnessed upon emerging from spawn was the crimson glow of…
I’ve always been a fan of the idea of Cyberpunk 2077’s ripperdocs and their many counterparts across fictional cyberpunk dystopias. It’s a lovely bit of backwards-working worldbuilding: you want every thug and gangster on the street to have a metal limb and robot eyes because it looks rad, but how do you explain where they’re…
It’s almost time for another Dawntrail-era update, so that means the Final Fantasy 14 Moogle Treasure Trove event is back with a little something to do until patch 7.5 drops on April 28. This time, we’re on the “Hunt for Aphorism” and have new ways to obtain old rewards through alternative (often easier) methods. I’ll…
