Square Enix has just released its financial results for the first three quarters of the financial year (i.e. April 2024 through to the end of December), among which is an impressive uptick in merch sales (thanks, GR+). And the hand-rubbing executives have no problem giving credit where credit’s due: It’s “mainly driven by strong sales…
Rumours point to a brand new whip-cracking game. Konami’s beloved Castlevania series is back in the headlines at the moment — season 2 of Castlevania: Nocturne dropped on Netflix a few weeks ago (and, spoilers, it’s very good). But the rumour mill is running, and it’s pointing towards a brand new Castlevania game. Yesterday, Chinese-based…
The second Monster Hunter Wilds beta is here and open to all, but if you played the first beta in late 2024 there’s not a whole lot for you to do this time around. As explained in detail in our beta overview above, Capcom didn’t update this beta build of the game with significant changes…
In a new interview with Bloomberg, Balatro creator LocalThunk revealed some new details about the chaotic poker roguelike’s major gameplay update coming later this year. Now titled update 1.1, publisher Playstack first revealed that more Balatro would be headed our way in 2025 back in August. The famously secretive and anonymous LocalThunk was reluctant to…
MultiVersus may be saying “That’s all folks!” one last time at the end of May, but that doesn’t mean it’s going down without a fight. In fact, it may have just used its dying breath to actually rally a small group of players to come to its defence with its fifth and final season implementing…
Stuck in Miiverse. It probably says something about the system that the question ‘y cant metroid crawl?’ is one of the most memorable nostalgia nuggets from the Wii U era. Don’t get me wrong – while the initial messaging was poor, the GamePad’s killer apps never really arrived, and the system itself was slow and…
The publisher has posted a new blog post, paying tribute to influential British developer. Team17 has paid tribute to its late co-founder Martyn Brown in a recent blog post over on its website. Martyn Brown passed away last December, aged 58, prompting an immediate outpouring of tributes from those who had grown up playing and…
The good news out of Warner Bros. Games, according to a new Bloomberg report, is that after the flop of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, Rocksteady Studios is looking to make a new singleplayer Batman game. The bad news, however, is pretty much everything else. It’s been a rough year for Warner. Hogwarts Legacy…
The Nvidia RTX 5080 has been a much-maligned graphics card since its launch. It is a smaller, more power-hungry GPU than its Ada predecessor, and doesn’t really offer a whole lot more silicon than the RTX 4080 Super. Yes, it’s ostensibly the same price, but is only delivering around 15% higher frame rates at 4K,…
Cross-media bar! Radial menu! Spirals! One of the biggest criticisms we, and indeed the Zelda community at large, had with Echoes of Wisdom was its awful UI design for the echoes. It’s a rare blip in what is otherwise an exceptionally well-crafted Zelda title in which you’re presented with a single row of echo abilities…
