The days of doubt are past us. Larian Studios is officially that girl, the debutante with a stacked dance card who nary an RPG-liker would commit the social gaffe of insulting in public. With all that adoration comes the freedom to do as you please, and for Larian that’s returning from the megabucks success of…
It was a tough Thursday for IO Interactive and ol’ Jimmy B, as the reveal of 007 First Light’s first villain, played by singer Lenny Kravitz, leaked ahead of its intended drop during The Game Awards. Sometimes the contents of these things can’t be contained by YouTube scheduling tools or, in the case of Kravitz’s…

The developers behind Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 prepared thoroughly for Thursday’s Game Awards. In a tweet posted a few hours before the ceremony, they shared a screenshot of two image folders on a Windows desktop: “memes if we win GOTY” and “memes if we don’t win GOTY.” The latter turned out to come in clutch,…

Instead of a big, exclamation-point ‘one more thing!’—the prophesied return of Gabe Newell, striding onto center stage with three fingers held high—host Geoff Keighley closed the show with a reveal of a brand new game from an unknown studio: A PvP raid shooter called Highguard….
In terms of new game announcements, this was one of the most exciting Game Awards we’ve seen in a minute. Divinity and Fate of the Old Republic were the highlights for me, and I’m liking what we’re seeing from Exodus. But there were some notable absences: Studios we haven’t heard from in awhile, announced projects…
There are, as you may have noticed, a lot of videogames nowadays. We’re spoiled by the constant flow of game releases: It would be impossible for me to put any real amount of time into every PC game I was interested in, let alone every game that’s well reviewed or recommended by friends and critics…

The announcement that the next RPG from Baldur’s Gate 3 developer Larian is a new title in the Divinity series didn’t come as a huge surprise. We knew Baldur’s Gate 4 wasn’t on the cards, and a few days ago a trademark filing gave it away. Ultimately, this is a world that Larian has spent…
We had an inkling that Arc Raiders was going to be good when it released, following a massively successful beta, but I don’t think anyone could’ve predicted it’d achieve this kind of success. Following on from over 700,000 concurrents in just one weekend, a streamer civil war, and recently winning best multiplayer game at The…
