Jagex CEO Jon Bellamy—appointed in March—drew fire earlier this year when an anonymous employee accused him of kowtowing to the Trump administration’s assault on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives with a decision to dramatically scale back Pride Month celebrations in RuneScape and Old School RuneScape. Understandably, that decision sparked ire, as did Bellamy’s attempts…

AMD has finally taken the wraps off of its long-awaited RDNA 4 graphics cards, the RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT. And, to be honest, it feels like a long time coming. Details have been thin on the ground after a somewhat chaotic half-reveal during CES 2025, but now we’ve finally received hard details as…

The Witcher 4 and Cyberpunk 2 are still a long way off, but CD Projekt is slowly but surely ramping things up. The company said in its H1 financial report today that the development teams for both game have continued to expand, and that further “gradual growth” is expected by the end of the year….

Despite having oodles of systems, gear, and a large map to explore that might make you think otherwise, the developers are steadfast in avoiding the loaded term….

Claude Code has become one of the modern darlings of the vibe coding revolution, being a terminal-based coding assistant that’s been used for a raft of creative software projects, including a, err, game created by a dog. Unfortunately for Anthropic, the company behind the AI coding whizz, the latest package also included a source map…

Remember when Apex Legends was shadow dropped? It’s a risky move for such a high-profile game to skip all the pre-release marketing hype entirely, but it paid off, and it’s clear why Respawn went that route—”photoreal PvP hero shooter” was an eyeroll-inducing prospect even back in 2019, so letting the game speak for itself short-circuited…
