Bonjour, evildoers. Today’s Triple-i Initiative showcase promised us some Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse news, and we got a little bit of that during today’s presentation. In the short new trailer up top, featuring commentary from Motion Twin — the lead developer on Konami’s revival, who also created Dead Cells — we got a look at some…
Everybody in the Europa Universalis community has spent the last four months worked up about the (admittedly hilarious) glitches that have plagued EU5 since its release, but the real problem with the game is much deeper. I’m an EU4 veteran with 1,700 hours and a world conquest under my belt, and I can attest that…
Despite the first trailer for Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse looking very much like a classic exploration-focused platformer, the involvement of Dead Cells developer Evil Empire had some folks going into a “Oh god, I hope it’s not a roguelike” panic.

I played nearly 50 hours of Graveyard Keeper in 2018 and its grim take on a Stardew Valley life sim turned me into one of the most evil characters I’ve ever played. As the caretaker of the dead, I quickly came to view human body parts as just another crafting resource to be harvested for…
Upcoming hero shooter Last Flag was a sponsor of last year’s PC Gaming Show: Most Wanted, and we spent a day with brothers Dan and Mac Reynolds talking about the game and how it came to be.

That hype,…
XGunzilla Games, the developer of the NFT battle royale Off the Grid and, more recently, resurrector of Game Informer, is facing multiple allegations that it has failed to pay some of its staff, in some cases for months. Gunzilla CEO Vlad Korolev acknowledged the claims in a message posted to X, writing, “to not disrupt…
We’ve all heard about that “dark Stardew Valley” horror farm sim right? No, I wasn’t talking about—no, not that one either. Hold on, how many horror farm sims are in development right now? I thought it was just one, maybe two, but I just learned about three more not-so-cozy horror-ish farm sims during today’s Triple-I…
A new Intel driver dropped a couple of days ago, and to the surprise of some Reddit users, it’s allowing them to play Crimson Desert. A game that was previously unable to run on Arc graphics cards and integrated GPUs. There’s no explicit note about support for Crimson Desert in the driver update, 32.0.101.8629 WHQL,…
In our upcoming genre-bending simulator, The Lift, players step into the shoes of a handyman and attempt to renovate an abandoned research facility riddled with the supernatural. We at Fantastic Signals have been working on this game for four years, and we’re excited to finally bring it to the PlayStation community. I’m Ivan Slovtsov, studio…
