The departure of Hideo Kojima from Konami saw the publisher react, initially at least, like a spurned lover. There was an ill-advised attempt to remove the creator’s name from certain packaging, followed-up by the even more ill-advised spinoff Metal Gear Survive, before things went quiet and, for years and years, Konami did nothing with the…
Your wish is granted. For several years, it felt like if you’ve played one of Omega Force’s famed Musou action games, you’ve played them all. It seems the team took note of this souring sentiment, however, resulting in more nuanced takes on the formula in more recent titles such as Fire Emblem: Three Hopes and…
A yellow kimono. A damaged lacquered hat. The Ghost mask with its kintsugi effect. More than a simple garment, Atsu’s outfit from Ghost of Yōtei’s trailers and artwork has quickly become iconic.

Kate Gray reviewed the Switch 1 version and said, “It’s beautiful, it’s robust, it’s got multiplayer, it’s…

In a recent blog post from Pokémon GO developer Niantic, the company has laid out its plans for what it calls a ‘Large Geospatial Model’, an AI that fills in the blanks for geographical locations that haven’t been physically captured in person.

On August 18, an unidentified person or group going by the name “Cyberleek” began sharing what appeared to be Grand Theft Auto 6 gameplay clips on the internet. The internet was naturally skeptical, but the footage was hard to fault: It looked authentic, showing mundane GTA 6 gameplay featuring its male protagonist, Jason. In one…
Us old-school rogue-likers are eating good. It feels like we’ve barely had time to digest the fantastic ‘final’ version of Caves Of Qud (there’s more coming, of course), and already we’ve got another massive indie roguelike passion project to dive into. Approaching Infinity by micro-indie outfit Ibology has been in development for over twelve years…
