World of Warcraft: Midnight will be doing something very dramatic—slowly, steadily, but dramatic nonetheless. After 20 years of working in complete concert, Blizzard will be removing most of its AddOn creator’s access to its combat API, meaning AddOns like WeakAuras will no longer function. In place of that, it’ll be adding its own increasingly-comprehensive suite…

World of Warcraft: Midnight just received a massive deep dive on its official channels. It’s mostly an assemblage of information already out there, such as the new Demon Hunter Spec, the game’s new zones, the transmog updates, and the upcoming Prey feature—which as a difficulty sicko with precious few mates that have raid-accessible schedules? I’m…

In the latest proof that ‘job security’ is simply not a thing in the videogame industry, Funcom says the survival MMO Dune: Awakening, which launched to great success earlier this year, is “the biggest release we’ve had in our 32-year long history of making great games.” And so now it’s laying off employees. “[Dune] has…

I’m a huge fan of all things Miku Hatsune. From the many Miku figurines taking over my desk to all of the rhythm games I shall simply never get good at, there’s something about the twin-tailed virtual idol that simply sparks joy for me. What definitely does not spark joy, though, is the idea of…

I’m a sucker for a cleverly-designed object. I’m also a sucker for a good budget gaming microphone, and the HyperX SoloCast 2 manages to be both of those things at once. At $60/£50, it’s priced in the same sort of territory as some of the cheap and nasty models you’ll find in the listings of…

In a move which my immense sense of grievance and narcissism can only interpret as a slight against me personally, the first DLC for mega-mod Fallout: London released barely an hour after I wrote a news piece yesterday chatting about it. Called Rabbit and Pork, it’s the first of three planned DLCs for the mod…

The new thing being launched by Ubisoft and Tencent to take control of Ubi’s biggest games now has a name: It’s called Vantage Studios, and it’s a “creative house” that will take responsibility for the future of Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry, and Rainbow Six properties. Vantage Studios is made up of “thousands of experienced…

Turns out there are downsides to feeding your likeness into an AI-powered text-to-video generator. One totally predictable drawback is the userbase wrestling away control of your likeness to create deepfakes of your digital double doing crimes.
