I’m not really a big fan of survival games, but occasionally one will grab me. Subnautica is probably the best example—I went into it with modest expectations and it quickly became one of the most compelling games I’d played in years. I have my fingers crossed for a similar experience with The Last Caretaker, an…
Bad news, gang: war is dawning. Four. Uh, I mean there were a bunch of Dawn of War 4-related announcements at Warhammer Skulls, including the game’s release date. The game will hit on September 17 this year, unless you forked out for the whizzbang Commander Edition, in which case you get it three days earlier…

What did I just watch..? Fortnite has seemingly become the go-to place for crossovers, with everyone from Solid Snake to Mariah Carey making an appearance in the online game. Its latest trailer teases the Chapter 6 Finale Event, and it’s an unsettling realisation of its crossover ambitions, showcasing Godzilla, King Kong, Homer Simpson, and Kill…
Coming to all platforms in 2025. Retroware has revealed that it is working on a Castlevania-style title called The Transylvania Adventure of Simon Quest, and it’s coming to all major platforms next year. Clearly inspired by Castlevania 2: Simon’s Quest, the game boasts a NES-like aesthetic, right down to the fact that the main sprite…

Between the handheld heavy ordnance, the on-demand gunship bombing runs, and the orbital artillery bombardments, Helldivers operations tend to run very loud. The next Helldivers 2 warbond, however, offers a more subtle alternative to Super Earth’s standard ballistic bombast. Called Redacted Regiment, the warbond is stuffed with suppressed weaponry and diversionary deployables for Helldivers who’ve…
