It’s pretty incredible that Hytale launched into early access today. It’s a miracle it even exists at all, really: games canceled by major studios typically vanish forever. Remember Blizzard’s survival game Odyssey that was canceled after nearly eight years in development? Poof. Gone, tragically leaving behind nothing more than a handful of leaked screenshots. So…
Creator Consumer Softproducts is back, folks, with a creatively upsetting and extremely intriguing idea for another hybrid FPS and Immersive Sim: Psycho Patrol R, a game that has you as a mech-piloting cop with some kind of almost-surely-upsetting superpowers. Like Cruelty Squad, this is an immersive sim, and will emphasize “a wide variety of routes…
These days, a typical Google Search feels like an obstacle course. Type out ‘upcoming PC games 2026‘ and your gaze has to swerve around a chunky AI overview which recycles the work of human writers in a bid to kneecap efforts to click away from Google. It’s a bleak state of affairs for what was…

Return to island life next week. The Switch 2 preparations continue on Nintendo’s end, with the Japanese video game giant today rolling out not only a firmware but also a new update for Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

The company appears to have confused copyright & trademark law. Last month, Hyperfocus Games, the Scottish studio behind the upcoming wrestling video game Ultra Power Wrestling stated in a video update that it had successfully acquired a pair of trademarks for the WCW/NWO Revenge and WWF No Mercy developer AKI and that it was planning…
Peach In Spaaaace. We are mere days away from the long-awaited arrival of Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 on Switch (at least, the second one has been long-awaited). The new bundle arrives on 2nd October, and the reviews have started rolling in. Our very own Ollie Reynolds put virtual pen to virtual…
