Bloober Team’s been on something of a roll recently. The Silent Hill 2 remake was a hit, it’s got a Silent Hill 1 remake and an interesting-looking sci-fi survival horror game in the works, and its new horror label is working on an isometric adaptation of the Eisner-nominated comic book I Hate This Place. Not…
July was an ugly month for Subnautica 2 and developer Unknown Worlds. In the course of fewer than 30 days, the studio’s leadership was gutted, the anticipated early access release was delayed, harsh words were exchanged, and a lawsuit was filed. The dispute turns largely on whether or not Subnautica 2 is ready for early…

Some studios got the memo: Helldivers 2 launched at $40, for instance, and Dune 2 and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33…
Unless you take curation of your social feeds very seriously, the tidal wave of AI slop images and videos has felt nigh inescapable. More worrying still is how often this crashing tide serves to highlight which of our loved ones struggle to discern AI-generated content from all the slop made by human hands. Even worse…
Amazon Q, the company’s AI coding assistant, reportedly exposed almost one million users to a potential system wipe, and the hacker who did it claims to have exposed the ‘security theatre’ at the heart of Amazon’s system. As reported by Techspot, Amazon Q has an open-source GitHub repository for its code, and this is what…
Rematch is great—I’ve already sunk about 40 hours into the thing and have no intention of stopping anytime soon. Just one small problem, though: the desync issues are still rough.
