In it, Framework founder Nirav Patel says, “I built this company specifically to reset and fix a broken industry”, and claims that mission…
It wouldn’t make “much sense”. Niantic’s mobile hit Pokémon GO is nearing its 10th anniversary and in case you were wondering, it probably won’t be getting a sequel… at least any time soon. Scopely’s president of games Ed Wu (and former SVP of Pokémon GO at Niantic) recently spoke to GamesIndustry.biz about the title’s future…
Ball’s in your court. After The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, it seemed almost inevitable that we’d see a new Hyrule Warriors title. According to a new interview with 4Gamer (thanks, Nintendo Everything), the folks over at both Nintendo and Koei Tecmo thought the same thing, and so it didn’t take long for…
Patrick Söderlund is the founder and CEO of Embark Studios, the maker of Arc Raiders. And Arc Raiders, you may have heard, is something of a hit—well, no, it’s a huge hit, one of the biggest releases of 2025 and enough to give Bungie some serious flop sweat about Marathon. It did so well, in…

Mojang hopes to bring it to “as many devices as possible”. Ahead of the Switch 2’s arrival, developer Mojang has announced Minecraft will be getting a visual graphics upgrade. This was revealed during the latest ‘Minecraft Live’ broadcast for March 2025 and the update is officially titled ‘Vibrant Visuals‘. The footage on display, captured on…
The next World of Warcraft expansion, Midnight, will finally add player housing to the venerable MMO. It arrives December 3 and the early signs are very positive: Blizzard may well have dragged its feet over adding a feature that much of the competition already has but, as PCG’s Harvey Randall points out, it’s also been…
Fair dinkum. As revealed in today’s Nintendo Direct, publisher Krafton is bringing developer James Bendon’s Dinkum to Switch on 9th November. There’s a demo coming on the Switch eShop later today. If you haven’t heard of it (or if the enormous crop of cosy farm-sim-style games has you confused – which would be understandable!), Dinkum…
It’s been a hell of a ride for Highguard, in all the wrong ways, and it crossed an ugly milestone last night when developer Wildlight Entertainment laid off “most of the staff” just 16 days after the game’s release.
