As one of the gaming industry’s most treasured oddities, Nier series creator and masked enigma Yoko Taro contends with the fickle patience of a fanbase that’s eager to know what he’s working on next. As reported by 4Gamer (via Automaton), Yoko said during a G-Con 2025 discussion panel with Bayonetta director Hideki Kamiya that—while his…

A Brit who hacked multiple high-profile Twitter / X accounts in 2020, and who was extradited to the US and jailed in 2023, has now been ordered to hand over £4.1 million ($5.4 million) in ill-gotten crypto gains (thanks, BBC). Joseph O’Connor, now 26 years old, hijacked over 130 accounts, including those of Apple, Uber,…

It’s hard to put down the M15 loadout in Black Ops 7, I’ll admit, but if you can, you’ll find what is potentially an even better assault rifle in the AK-27. Plus, since it unlocks at level 4, which is also when you unlock custom classes, you can get cracking with the best BO7 AK-27…

I think most of us would agree that cheating is a scourge upon multiplayer gaming. Anyone who’s seen a blatant wallhacker or obviously-bot-assisted player rampaging their way across the map like Rambo after too much sugar would likely agree that something should be done. Well, Microsoft appears to be doing that something, as it’s laid…

So much of data management feels floaty and ephemeral, with just one misplaced click wrecking untold devastation. ‘Click, click, wait…no, no, no! I didn’t mean to delete the entire folder of fanfic!’ So when it comes to intentional data destruction, there’s something compelling about a dedicated device that acts like it really means it. Enter…

Silent Hill f recently received a big update that adds a casual difficulty, speeds up NG+ runs, and reduces the number of areas where players are forced to engage with combat. The patch seems like a sensible response to some general criticisms of the acclaimed horror revival. But fans of the series are convinced that…

Digging into Escape From Tarkov‘s 1.0 release? In classic Battlestate Games fare, there’s an ultra-rare LEDX that spawns in the tutorial, and if you miss it you’ll need to find a whole extra LEDX later to either upgrade your MedBay to level 3, or hand it in for the late-game quest, Private Clinic. Even if…

Just three days out from Stalker 2’s first birthday (doesn’t time fly?) GSC Game World has released another meaty patch for its unique, ambitious, and at times conflagrating shooter. Patch 1.7 is a doozy—you can tell because it’s one of those patches a developer puts out a video to mark—and it’s out now. There are…

Phasmophobia is one of those unproblematic success stories. It launched in early access with such a well-conceived and executed core experience that I breathlessly proclaimed it “the best ghost game ever made.” In the five years since, developer Kinetic Games has slowly but surely built Phasmophobia into the PC’s definitive spook-buster (to the extent there’s…

Resident Evil Requiem is one of the scariest Resident Evil games I’ve played, and I only got to see a 30-minute demo at Gamescom, so I dread to think about what the rest of the game will be like. That’s due to a very deliberate choice by the developers to try and steer this next…
