Microsoft is going through another big ‘reset’, which is a nice way of saying culling, as it reportedly prepares to cut major games and studios as part of reassessing its videogame investments. But amid all the carnage, Hideo Kojima’s OD is apparently unscathed. According to IGN, a source familiar with Microsoft’s plans implied the upcoming…
Valve, you cheeky bunch. It wasn’t enough to stand out by doubling down on touchpads, going all in on gyro, and sporting TMR joysticks: the new Steam Controller also has an Easter egg. As discovered by user RF3D19 on Reddit this week, the $99 gamepad is capable of expressing panic. When suddenly dropped, the device…

Remedy’s latest annual report contains, among a great many other things, a very brief new look at Condor, the codename for the multiplayer spinoff game based on Control. Condor was announced in 2021 as a four-player PvE game set in the very strange world of Control. At the time, it was being developed in partnership…
We don’t really need more Baldur’s Gate 3, given how vast and replayable Larian Studios’ RPG already is. That said, I’d never say no to more adventures within Larian’s highly flexible adaptation of the Forgotten Realms. And while Larian itself has sworn off expanding BG3 any further, the modding community is still plugging away with…
It takes all ports. Since its launch, Switch 2 has quickly followed in its predecessor’s footsteps, attracting impressive ports from other consoles which belie the modest power of its mobile chipset. It’s a massive jump up from Switch 1, but we’re still talking about a tablet smaller than the average paperback, and it’s mightily impressive…
Things aren’t looking so hot for Funcom’s sci-fi desert survival MMO Dune: Awakening. After the strongest launch in the Norwegian studio’s history, Funcom announced layoffs at the start of October, citing a shift from “development to long-term operation” as well as an upcoming console launch as the reasons for restructuring.
