League of Legends has drawn countless players to its diverse fanbase over the years. Not all of them are there for its competitive play or even Riot's flagship game itself, as the Runeterra canon encompasses various forms of media.  Fans can now officially consider Arcane, the League of Legends-inspired animated series on Netflix, a part of that canon too, as a developer from Riot Games has confirmed this to be the case.

Charles Martinet’s successor is voice actor and ‘big nerd’ Kevin Afghani.

"Thanks to Nintendo for inviting me into the Flower Kingdom!". Mario's new voice actor in Super Mario Bros. Wonder has publicly shared his thanks on social media. The new voice has been revealed to be Kevin Afghani, whose most famous role to date is that of Arnold in Genshin Impact, an event-exclusive NPC. Afghani has confirmed that he is playing both Mario and Luigi in Wonder.

Nintendo revealed in August that longtime Mario voice actor Charles Martinet would no longer be voicing Mario. Amongst speculation of a different voice actor for Mario in Super Mario Bros. Wonder trailers, Nintendo also announced Martinet was not jumpman's voice in the game, leaving fans to wonder who the new voice is. After months of internet sleuthing, guesswork, and more, Nintendo has confirmed that Genshin Impact voice actor Kevin Afghani is the new voice of Mario.  "The voice actor's name i...

Microsoft and 343 Industries announced that the next update to Halo Infinite would include an AI toolkit for Forge. Today, they explained why it's so important. 

One of the biggest unanswered questions regarding Microsoft's $67.8 billion purchase of Activision Blizzard concerned the role of Bobby Kotick at the company. Now that the deal is finally complete and the publisher is officially a part of Microsoft, the future of the Activision Blizzard CEO is a little clearer. In a memo to employees, Kotick wrote that he is "fully committed to helping with the transition." He'll remain at the helm "through the end of 2023" and he'll report to Microsoft Gaming C...

NASA’s Psyche spacecraft has blasted off and begun a six-year, 2.2-billion-mile journey to a peculiar asteroid. Astronomers have speculated that the space rock, also named Psyche, was once the partial core of a small planet in the early days of the Solar System. The seemingly iron- and nickel-rich asteroid may hold clues to the formation of planets, including our own. On Friday, the uncrewed Psyche spacecraft lifted off at 10:19AM ET aboard a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket at Kennedy Space Center in...

Counter-Strike 2 has finally arrived after years of fan anticipation, replacing Valve's previous entry, the ever-beloved Counter-Strike Global Offensive. Since CS2 launched, Valve has worked hard to release steady updates addressing any in-game bugs and issues. While most problems are minor or easily resolved, some can prove more difficult to address and may even result in permanent VAC  bans.

Oh, what a beautiful morning!

In relocating its setting to the Hawaiian island of O'ahu, developer Ubisoft Ivory Tower finds the perfect virtual playground for its latest open-world racer, The Crew Motorfest. Between the paradise coastline, its mountain ranges, the bustle of downtown Honolulu and even its temples, there's no shortage of variety, and the new backdrop is a welcome gear change from the continental US setting of The Crew 1 and 2. Reviewing Motorfest's performance on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Series S, it'...

Play before you pay.

Grotty fantasy Soulslike Lords of the Fallen - which I have been cautiously looking forward to, despite Ed's efforts to temper my expectations - is getting its chainmail-wearing arse kicked by Steam players. It seems to be selling well, squatting at third on the platform's global top seller charts by revenue, but the user review consensus tells a different story. There are 1,320 reviews at the time of writing, and they are Mostly Negative, which is quite the showing for a game's first day on sal...

We here at PCGamesN love strategy games. It’s a genre that’s long been synonymous with PC Gaming, from RTS games like StarCraft and Command & Conquer to turn-based games like XCOM and Civilization 6; from the small-scale tactics of Commandos and Marvel’s Midnight Suns to the most vast grand strategy of Crusader Kings 3 or Total War Warhammer 3. With plenty of excellent Steam Next Fest demos available right now as part of the Valve celebration, we’ve put our greatest minds to the task of finding ...

It can be easy to forget just how much research goes into making each new entry to the Total War series, especially with over two decades of the historical strategy games released to date. While many players are more concerned with the design of a new Total War’s battlefield tactics and strategic possibilities, a release like this month’s Total War: Pharaoh requires its creators to spend just as much effort digging into the history of its setting as any other aspect of the game’s creation.

We knew Netflix’s Squid Game reality show was coming sometime in November, and now we have an exact premiere date of November 22. This puts the release just in time for Thanksgiving, so you can celebrate the holiday by watching a reality show adaptation of a dystopian drama that shined a light on the brutal horrors of late-stage capitalism. Heartwarming fun! Squid Game: The Challenge is a 10-episode series that features over 450 contestants competing in events inspired by the TV show, in additio...

The next-generation 24-inch iMac will likely be available with M2 and M2 Pro chip options, Thunderbolt 4 ports, Wi-Fi 6E support, and Bluetooth 5.3 support, according to a report today from Japanese blog Mac Otakara. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman has repeatedly claimed that the next 24-inch iMac will be equipped with the M3 chip, so it's unclear if the information reported today is accurate. It is possible that Apple's plans have changed, but no other sources have indicated that the iMac will be updat...

It’s hard to imagine that anyone in the world was demanding a hybrid Corvette, but those crazy engineers at Chevrolet went and did it anyway. Meet the 2024 Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray, but if you’re already angry at the concept, you shouldn't be. The hybrid drive here isn’t to raise the efficiency of perhaps America’s most iconic sports car. Oh no. It’s only here to make it faster. 0 to 60 in 2.5 seconds and a quarter-mile in 10.5 fast. The electric motor up front adds 160 horsepower to the 495 tha...

The Biden administration has selected the recipients of its funding for the seven regional “hydrogen hubs,” or clean hydrogen producers. All regions will receive funds from a $7 billion investment made available through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. The hubs are collectively expected to produce more than three million metric tons of clean hydrogen per year and help put the US on track to produce 50 million metric tons of clean hydrogen fuel by 2050. The initiative is a crucial step towards ...
