The tutorial for new extraction shooter Arc Raiders is short and to the point. In just a few minutes it teaches you the basics of moving and shooting, looting, and learning the hard way what happens when you make too much noise in a PvPvE game: either a robot or another player is going to…
Back in August, PCG’s Lincoln Carpenter reported on one of modern life’s little issues, in this case double-checking that machine translation tools are accurate. Turin-based developer Paolo Nicoletti released a demo for his game The Crazy Hyper-Dungeon Chronicles on Japanese Steam after using machine tools to translate the text: and ended up listing the game…
Apparently a single month of alpha testing was enough for Blizzard to transition World of Warcraft’s next expansion into a beta. Starting next month, WoW: Midnight will enter its next phase of testing as it nears its suspected release date early next year. Midnight alpha testing started at the beginning of October and brought with…
I keep a pretty close eye on all the games Hollywood is turning into movies, and I’m well aware that just because a development deal is struck doesn’t mean a film will ever get made. Take the Just Cause movie, which was announced way back in 2011 and still hasn’t materialized, or the Beyond Good…
Out today on Switch and Switch 2. Square Enix has dropped a day one patch for Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake, which is out now on Switch and Switch 2. The patch is a pretty small one, admittedly, but it does make a few small tweaks — adding in a few more voice…
Repo’s Monster Update—that’s literally what it’s called, unless you want to roll with the far more snooze-inducing v0.3.0—is now live on Steam. As promised it’s a big one, with new upgrades, valuables, rooms to explore, and enemies to deal with—and, as PC Gamer’s very own Repo man Lincoln Carter is especially excited about, “butt physics.”…
It looks like Hyper Light studio Heart Machine may have suffered another round of layoffs, as multiple employees are reporting on social media (via Game Developer) that they’ve been let go. The reported job losses come just three weeks after a previous round of layoffs that saw more than a dozen people put out of…
A critical hit. Famitsu‘s weekly software and hardware sales charts have dropped, and the king is still on top, as expected. Pokémon Legends: Z-A tops the charts for the second week in a row, with the Switch 1 version selling a further 195,849 copies, while the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition shifts a further 71,991. Both…
I don’t usually jump into multiplayer shooters to get wrapped up in storylines or lore implications, but Arc Raiders has had that effect on me in the small bursts I’ve played. The extraction shooter makes a strong impression as you step into its post-future, ’70s-tinged sci-fi Italy. Arc Raiders has a unique conceit for a…
Fellowship, the co-op game where you get to endlessly run MMO-style dungeons, didn’t have the smoothest launch a few weeks ago. As things tend to go for online games these days, the servers buckled under the weight of people trying to log in and queue up. Things have settled now and the game is holding…
