For The King 2 is an adorable turn-based RPG with up to four player co-op that’s a perfect way to fill the void left after finishing Baldur’s Gate 3, and developer IronOak Games has revealed exactly when you can play it. With the For The King 2 release date set for November on Steam, it won’t be long until you can take on the tyrannical Queen Rosomon for yourself.

Payday 3 has had a rather rocky start, with server issues plaguing its launch leaving many unable to play the always-online heist shooter. Now, another rock has made its way onto that already bumpy road, with developer Starbreeze announcing it has chosen to delay its upcoming patch. This patch was initially meant to be released yesterday, 5th October, and address "200+ QoL-improvements for all platforms". However, the developer has pushed it back until an unspecified time in mid-October. This, t...

A new update for Armored Core 6 has been released, making a huge number of balance changes. The game was patched a couple of weeks back but, as anticipated, this new patch is aimed at PvP and makes changes to the majority of weapons - including the game's best. Yes, I'm talking about the Songbirds and Zimmerman.

This week on the Eurogamer Newscast, we discuss the topic of video game industry layoffs, something that seems to be rarely out of the headlines over the past few weeks and months. Layoffs are nothing new, of course, but this year in particular feels like a particularly tough time, at companies big and small. From tech giants such as Microsoft and Epic Games down to development studios such as Telltale Games, the bad news just keeps on coming. We discussed the job losses at Creative Assembly las...

Climbing is one of the great joys of video games. It's one of the things I am always looking out for. It felt like it was a rarity in games until something like Crackdown came along. I was a long way through Crackdown before I realised that it wasn't really about shooting people or driving cars - its purest pleasures involved navigating the game's complex interlocking 3D world. For years I described it as a platform game, until I had a chat with John from Digital Foundry, who argued that if it w...

I'll level with you: for a good long while I absolutely despised The Lamplighters League; approximately one half of it is clumsy, clunky, often deeply annoying, and dubiously conceived. For all that, though, I've become oddly quite fond of its weird mishmash of real-time stealth and heavily XCOM-inspired turn-based action, even if I'm not entirely sure it ever entirely rises above its litany of flaws. But first, welcome to an alternate-history 1930s, where the suits are sharp, the dames are toug...

Clear your plans for the weekend, as Proton 8.0-4 is now officially available bringing improved game support for Steam Deck and normal desktop Linux. Here's all the latest on what's changed.

While OLED reins supreme when it comes to high contrast gaming monitors, the next best tech is displays with multi-zone backlights. However, it's a market that's been a little quiet of late. That was until, the announcement that Cooler Master is planning on releasing the Tempest GP2711, a new 27-inch Mini LED gaming monitor.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 recently dropped on Steam this week and in our opinion it's an incredible game, with Valve fixing up the multiplayer now in Proton Hotfix.

When Activision announced Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile in 2022, the developer said it was planning to release the game sometime this year, shortly after Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II became available. Now, Activision has published a trailer for the mobile title, with the revelation that it's coming out sometime in the spring of 2024 instead. It has no specific launch date yet, but those interested can already pre-order from Google Play or the App Store.  Warzone Mobile is a battle royale exper...

Following boldly in the wake of The Thing, The Terror and, errrr, the experimental artist Ellie Ga, who spent months drawing and sketching aboard a drifting icelocked research vessel, Black Salt and Team 17's Lovecraftian fishing sim Dredge is heading to the Arctic in its first DLC pack, The Pale Reach. Batten down the hatches and check out the trailer.

Hello! Welcome back to our regular feature where we write a little bit about some of the games we've found ourselves playing over the last few days. This time: pizzas, songs, and witches. If you fancy catching up on some of the older editions of What We've Been Playing, here's our archive. I love this whole cosy game movement - games that aren't too taxing but sound nice and feel nice. They're the game equivalent of lo-fi beats to chill to, if that means anything to you, and I am all for them.

Sigh... In what has increasingly proved to be a turbulent year for the video game industry, with layoffs reported at studios such as Epic Games, Crystal Dynamics, and Team17, the latest to add to the pile is Telltale Games. The first indication of trouble came via a post from former Telltale cinematic artist Jonah Huang, who stated that the studio had laid off "most of" the team in early September before stating that he is unable to comment on the current state of The Wolf Among Us 2, the sequel...

Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) has warned around 6,800 current and former employees that their personal data was accessed via a data breach, according to a letter seen by Bleeping Computer. The nature of the personal information stolen by hackers was redacted, but the company stated that a file transfer app called MOVEit was the source of the breach. It's the second report of an attack on Sony's operations within the last two weeks. A ransomware group called CL0P claimed credit for the att...

Today Bandai Namco revealed three more characters that will be palatable in its 2v2 anime fighting action game Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash.

Instagram might let you share Stories only with specific groups of friends in the future. During a broadcast on his page, Instagram head Adam Mosseri has revealed that the social media app has started testing the ability to share Stories to multiple audience lists. The app already has a "Close Friends" feature, which gives you the ability to add certain friends to a list and to share Stories to that group of people only. It gives you a bit of privacy on the social network, especially if you have...

Who will win? The annual Minecraft event 'Minecraft Live' is returning on 15th October and once again there'll be a new mob announced. The catch is there are three mobs and only one of them will be added to the game. The winner depends on the amount of community votes each mob gets. This year the mobs include the Crab, Armadillo and Penguin. Here's a bit about each one, along with a look:

Go on, tell us. Back in August, Nintendo announced it would be releasing a new 'Mario Red Edition' Switch OLED for $349.99 / £309.99.

With Minecraft Live coming soon, the annual Mob Vote is also ready to go with the introduction of the third competitor for a place in the game, the Penguin. 

Keep one good eye on the credits of Loki this week, just like Odin.

Can we get an eShop demo now? As we get closer to the release of Super Mario Bros. Wonder later this month, it seems Nintendo has started to roll out demos of the game at multiple retailers across the US. You should be able to play this demo at the Switch kiosks located in stores like Target, Walmart and GameStop. Below is a glimpse of the Target one, which you can see in motion on YouTube.

Today Telltale Series has confirmed that it has laid off a number of employees, while the games currently in development remain in the pipeline for the time being.

It's "23.5 GB" according to an official update. After years of classification board leaks, Borderlands 3 has finally arrived on the Nintendo Switch today. It's being delivered in the form of the Ultimate Edition, which comes with all previously released DLC. There's apparently been some confusion online about this version's file size and now the official Borderlands social media account has chimed in with the "exact breakdown" - explaining why the physical packaging referencing the game being "6...

"Hats on cats (and dogs)". The Stardew Valley creator Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone has recently shared quite a lot of details about the next update, and his latest post on social media showcases "hats on cats (and dogs)" in the popular farming and lifestyle sim. Yes, as you can see below, it seems you'll be able to put all sorts of different hats on your furry friends in Version 1.6:

Telltale Games, the resurrected studio behind the likes of The Expanse: A Telltale Series and the upcoming The Wolf Among Us 2, has confirmed layoffs at the studio, after a former employee shared a message on social media claiming "most of" his team had been let go last month. News of layoffs at Telltale began circulating after cinematic artist Jonah Huang - who's worked at the studio in both its current and original incarnation, which closed down in 2018 - claimed the studio "laid most of us of...

"We are so back," declared streamers as they bunny hopped around corners.

Stardew Valley occupies my heart, mind, and soul still, years following its initial release. ConcernedApe created one of the greatest games I've ever had the pleasure of playing, and it's about farming. The solo developer obviously has a maxed-out power level enabling him to make tending to a virtual farm so addictive, and it looks like fellow game devs would agree. Whitney 'Cenx' Spinks, co-creator of Terraria, responded to ConcernedApe's recent 1.6 update teaser in the most wholesome way ever.

Earlier today, former Telltale Games cinematic artist Jonah Huang revealed on Twitter that he had been laid off from the studio in early September. In his tweet, he writes that "Telltale laid most of us off in early September," and that the layoffs occurred weeks after the company acquired U.K.-based studio, Flavourworks, which developed Erica. This is a sore subject, but I feel it necessary to add to the gaming layoff news: Telltale laid most of us off early September. Status of TWAU2, I can't ...
