It’s been a long time since we last saw an Elder Scrolls or Fallout game from Bethesda. Fallout 4 is now 11 years old, while it’s been nearly 15 years since Skyrim—the same timeframe between that game and the release of Daggerfall in 1996. It’s wild that two of gaming’s most popular series have been…
Mark Rosewater sure does wear a lot of superhero T-shirts. Magic: The Gathering’s head designer and lead on its Marvel Super Heroes expansion specifically is usually seen in interviews and on stage with a comic-book T under his flannel, and apparently called dibs on a Marvel set back when the Universes Beyond concept was first…
You’re forgiven if you’d forgotten about Star Wars: Eclipse. After being revealed with a flashy cinematic trailer in 2021, all we heard about Quantic Dreams’ Star Wars game was the briefest of mentions in a blog post by studio founder and CEO David Cage last year, in which he said, “Of course, development of Star…
Amid Star Wars Zero Company’s gameplay and release date reveal at the 2026 Summer Game Fest, it somehow slipped by me that the squad tactics game from XCOM veterans also got an official price tag: $50. What year is it, 2005? Not only is this what Firaxis charged for XCOM: Enemy Unknown in 2012, it’s…
In a new episode of Nightdive’s Deep Dive podcast, host Locke Vincent, producer Daniel Grayshon, and studio head Stephen Kick got into some of the more granular details of Thief: The Dark Project Remastered, including that they brought on an original Looking Glass artist, Daniel Thron, to help revamp Thief’s cutscenes. “We have one of…
Palworld just keeps moving. It’s postured to more or less shrug off its prominent legal battle with Nintendo, and it’s reaching that glorious threshold any survival-craft game hopes to eventually cross: actually being done. Or if not done, complete enough to call it version 1.0 when it finally releases July 10. It seems like it…
Once you’ve lost a few thousand hours to a MOBA, it’s easy to forget how hard it was to learn. A game like League of Legends has well over a hundred playable characters, all sorts of items and jungle monsters, and even the basics can be fussy. One of the most crucial is the zen…
Terminally Online (Image credit: Future) This is Terminally Online: PC Gamer’s very own MMO column. Every other week, I’ll be sharing my thoughts on the genre, interviewing fellow MMO-heads like me, taking a deep-dive into mechanics we’ve all taken for granted, and, occasionally, bringing in guest writers to talk about their MMO of choice. One…
It’s been established that Doom can run on produce, but porting wizardry doesn’t start and end with blasting cacodemons on increasingly ludicrous hardware setups. It’s sometimes the simple things that stick out most, like this web browser port of Half-Life 2. Not as silly as potatoes, but impressive all the same. It’s got some kinks—my…
Grinding Gear Games is on a roll. Despite announcing that the most recent expansion to Path of Exile 2 would be its last update before it leaves early access later this year, the patches keep coming. Earlier this week, the developer surprised everyone with a whole new box of toys to play with: an entire…
