At the recent EVE Fanfest, PC Gamer had the opportunity to sit down with CCP CEO Hilmar Veigar Pétursson, who since the company’s founding has been something of a presiding spirit over EVE Online.

There’s been an awful lot of sometimes-cool, sometimes-odd crossovers in Call of Duty: Warzone 2—corrupt superheroes, Nicki Minaj, a bulletproof dog named Merlin who rides around on your belt—but this is my favorite: The super-shotgun from Doom 2, which will be added to the game as part of the Doom bundle that’s coming in October….
The WW2 shooter United 1944 struck me as a potentially interesting twist on the genre when I first heard about it back in March. Shooting enemies and capturing control points are mixed with exploration, scavenging, and crafting: You start the game “literally with nothing,” and must dig up resources and plans so you can assemble…
This isn’t quite the way I imagined an early access game about being a shopkeeper would begin, but long before I rang up my first customer threw rocks at cardboard cutouts of cowboys, dodged lasers fired by hippo statues, and survived a shootout with a crowd of evil thugs sent after me by a ruthless…

Last year, CD Projekt announced that its next Witcher game and other games going forward—including Cyberpunk’s sequel, codename Orion—will be developed with Unreal Engine 5. In a recent interview with Cyberpunk 2077 director…
More than six years after it was first teased, Legacy, the ironically-titled new game from once-legendary designer Peter Molyneux, finally has a release date. The blockchain-based business simulator developed by Molyneux’s 22 Cans studio is set to go live on October 26. “Legacy will be seamlessly integrated with GalaChain, providing smooth and secure gameplay backed…
If you think FLAC is the audiophile’s friend when it comes to lossless music files, a large language model (LLM) has news for you, as it’s now laying claim to compression as part of AI’s growing realm of influence, too. A study titled “Language Modeling Is Compression” (via ArsTechnica) discusses a finding about an LLM…
As reported by VGC, the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam was recently swarmed by scalpers, looking to make a quick buck off Pikachu and his cute grey hat during a limited-time event. “Go on a Pokémon Adventure along Van Gogh’s paintings,” the website for the museum describes in a description for an event celebrating the…
There are quite a lot of things we never could have predicted might happen in the near future back in 2019.
