When a trailer for Midnight Murder Club, a lights-out multiplayer party shooter, aired at The Game Awards last December, I clocked the developer logo immediately. It was Velan Studios, the folks behind the dodgeball brawler Knockout City. That game was excellent, but like so many live service games that cultivate a modest audience, it died…
Have you seen the video of the guy who, as Reddit put it, “got folded by an elephant” that’s been going around Instagram? If so, well, whoops, that wasn’t supposed to happen: Meta says an unexpected deluge of blood, guts, animal abuse, and dead bodies that recently turned Instagram feeds into a gory horror show…
As I write this on Friday, more than 1.3 million people are actively playing Monster Hunter Wilds on Steam. So far only around 13,000—or 1%—have stopped playing long enough to review it, but those who have are largely frustrated.

We’re now just one month away from the early access launch of Krafton’s life sim Inzoi. Its game director Hyungjun “Kjun” Kim has been pretty forthcoming about its features already, but there’s still more to come on that front. Inzoi Studio will host a global showcase on March 19, just a couple weeks ahead of…
