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,…
The Game Awards ended on an odd note last night.

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…
It only took 21 years, but finally we’re getting a new Knights of the Old Republic game in Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic. While this title appears to be very early in development, judging by the cinematic trailer revealed at the Game Awards and no mention of a release window, it is quite…
