Based on Lee Youngdo’s fantasy series The Bird That Drinks Tears—novels being published in English for the first time this June—Project Windless and its big, beautiful bird berserker will offer an international audience an opportunity to explore a unique and celebrated fiction firsthand. But for creative director and Krafton Montreal studio head Patrik Méthé, Project…

Of all the places I thought AI would knock on the door of, like a grim reaper, I never expected it to be Burger King. Tech, videogames, movies, sure—they’re all about cutting-edge technology, even if it’s misguided and self-destructive—but a fast food chain? As reported by The Verge, Burger King is launching its own AI…

Given the way the AI industry is going these days, the following news probably isn’t a huge surprise. But it’s unnerving all the same. Announced in a new blog post, Anthropic, arguably the sole remaining example among the major AI players that really bigs up its safety responsibilities, has ditched its core commitment to “pause”…

There’s a lot riding on Marathon, potentially even the fate of legendary developer Bungie given the current state of Destiny, which has been carrying the studio’s baton for years. Now it’s time to pass the burden onto Marathon, I guess, while the studio figures out what it’s doing with Destiny going forward. After divisive playtests…

If I can be vulnerable for a moment, I have something I need to get off my chest: I have no idea what Marathon is actually about, but that’s by choice. I am unequivocally in love with its marketing and the fact it gives very little away about what’s actually going on in the world…

It’s not that it’s bad at what it does, more that it’s a deathly-dull spreadsheet editor that I loathe having to stare at for more than five minutes. But lo and indeed behold, because Google says it’s caught Sheets being used in…

As my esteemed colleague Joshua Wolens once wrote, I “never thought I’d die fighting side-by-side with the Pope.” Pope Leo XIV has made AI a key theme of his papacy, and his thoughts on the technology at times could not be clearer: he says it’s “turning people into passive consumers of unthought thoughts”. In a…

The budget wireless gaming headset market is in such a tough spot right now. That’s partly because the mid-range is absolutely knocking it out of the park, and partly because with the word ‘budget’ often comes the denigrative terms ‘cheap’, ‘flimsy’, or ‘yeah, this sounds kinda bad’. Okay, that last one isn’t very snappy, but…

Production of Sony and Amazon MGM’s God of War series seems to be ticking along nicely after starting from scratch back in 2024. Ed Skrein has just been added to the cast. The North London actor will play Baldur, the main antagonist from the 2018 God of War game. As reported by Deadline (via Eurogamer),…

With Warner Bros. deep in the bidding wars, potentially being acquired by Netflix or Paramount, all the discussion has been on the company’s film and TV divisions. In fact, Netflix’s $83 billion deal shockingly “didn’t attribute any value” to Warner Bros. venture into gaming, despite Hogwarts Legacy raking in over 15 million copies sold and…
