Stable unicorns. Company president George Kamitani wasn’t kidding when he teased that the studio’s next project was “one of Vanillaware’s biggest productions” last year.

I wouldn’t call myself a big platformer buff, per se, but I do like to partake on occasion—I simply cannot resist the allure of kicking back with a controller and collecting something.

What might have happened if I’d dedicated all my energies to pumping the bellows in the direction of its lukewarm response at launch, persuading…

While the regular skill manuals appear to be random, the actual ability manuals have fixed locations, so you can track them down whenever you want. Below, I’ve included manual locations for all the Swordmastery…
Slated. It’s that time of year when video game anniversary enthusiasts can enjoy the birthday of a significant game or console nearly every day of the week. It’s the turn of Pokémon X & Y which turns 10 today (look out for a feature on that coming up a little later), but it’s also a…
Matt Firor, president of ZeniMax Online Studios and game director of The Elder Scrolls Online, has announced that he is leaving the company. “After more than 18 years leading ZeniMax Online Studios, I’ll be stepping away later this month,” says a message attributed to Firor on the official TESO X account. “The studio and The…
