Splitgate studio 1047 Games said in March that it was working on something new, and now we know what it is: A “fast-paced 6v6 movement shooter” called Empulse. No, that’s not a typo, it’s literally “Empulse,” reasons for which I assume will be made clear later. For now, 1047’s new game sounds quite a bit…
This week marks the culmination of Civilization 7’s yearlong attempt at a post-launch redemption arc, as Firaxis has released its Test of Time update, a free patch the studio has called an expansion-sized overhaul. Alongside the much-requested option to play as the same civilization between age transitions, Test of Time reworks victory conditions, adds systems…
Valve has moved to dismiss a lawsuit brought by the New York attorney general, Letitia James, in February this year, which argues that “children and adults alike illegally gamble for the chance to win virtual prizes” in Counter-Strike 2.

If you’ve watched any of the pre-Daniel Craig movies, you know what I mean. The womenfolk in the films tend to be treated a bit like furniture from Ikea: Nice to look at…
Paralives Studio has been busy tempering expectations for its life sim in the run up to its early access launch on May 25—the game’s been cooking for close to seven years now, but that certainly does not mean it’s done. And after spending 10 hours with the game, I most definitely understand why the developer…
Well, it’s been a hell of a few weeks for AI interfering with educational ceremonies, after two speakers at separate events (including ex-Google CEO Eric Schmidt) were roundly booed for calling it the future. This instance, though, is slightly different. @nowthisimpact You can hear the outrage. ♬ original sound – NowThis Impact Glendale Community College…
There are all kinds of ways to show gratitude to your parents. It might be weekly calls, monthly visits, or a heartfelt Mother’s Day card. Or, if you’re indie developer Christopher Yabsley, you might honor your mother and the cherished memories you’ve shared by developing Heathen, an upcoming dark fantasy dungeon crawler featuring “a descent…
GitHub, arguably the place for developers to store and share code, has been the target of a cyberattack. The Microsoft-owned platform reported on Tuesday that its internal repositories experienced unauthorised access, although it does not appear to have exposed customer information outside of that. “Our current assessment is that the activity involved exfiltration of GitHub-internal…
