Endless Space and Humankind studio Amplitude is marking its 13th birthday, and to celebrate it’s giving out free Steam copies of Endless Legend, its underrated fantasy 4X that apparently released all the way back in 2014. So there’s a Friday morning confrontation with mortality for you. You can pick the game up by heading over…
Tracking down Ancient Civilization Parts in Palworld is a key step in constructing fancy Ancient Tech like the Egg Incubator in your base. You’ve probably just defeated Zoe and Grizzbolt at the Rayne Syndicate Tower—your first proper boss—but despite them giving you Ancient Technology Points, you’ve realised that you also need to find Ancient Civilization…
There’s a helpful hint for today’s Wordle waiting below, just in case you’re struggling to find those key greens and yellows—it happens to all of us from time to time. Need something a little more direct? You’ve got it. The answer to the January 19 (944) Wordle is only a click away. Today turned out…
As videogame marketing clichés go, there may be only one line more overused than “See that mountain? You can go there,” and MachineGames just trotted it out to pitch its new Indiana Jones game, The Great Circle. “In this game, you aren’t just playing as Indy. You are Indiana Jones,” says director Jerk Gustafsson. No…
Avowed’s second big showcase from Obsidian was kind of odd—we still don’t know much about its main story, and the one quest that we’ve seen was rather boilerplate: help a soldier who deserted or make him face “justice.” It feels more like a respectable, middle of the pack quest than the one you use to…

You can’t lie on Miami Beach and get a (radioactive) tan, visit the top of Seattle’s Space Needle, or enjoy the pre-Bethesda…
The last couple of years have seen some blockbusters deals in the games industry. Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard is obviously the biggest of them all, but Sony’s buyout of Bungie is up there too, and even (relatively) smaller deals, like NetEase’s purchase of Quantic Dream or Nacon’s takeover of Daedalic, can’t be overlooked.

Valve recently announced that Steam will allow games made with assistance from generative AI tools so long as it’s disclosed. If game developers tell the truth, we ought to be seeing a lot of disclosures in the near future. In a survey of over 3,000 game developers from the organizers of the Game Developers Conference,…
Here’s one I made earlier: I was searching for Joker enjoyer meats guitarist from Jared Leto’s band. (Image credit: Bungie) I’ve had an article in my drafts titled ‘All MMOs need a barber shop’ for several years now. The likelihood of that piece ever getting finished inched further away this afternoon, with Bungie announcing that—after…
It’s official: Barbarians and sorcerers won’t rule Sanctuary in Diablo 4’s next season, at least not using the same builds that absolutely crushed season 2. On a developer stream today, Blizzard said tomorrow’s patch notes will include fixes to the bugs that fuel the strongest builds in the game, as well as changes that elevate…
