Death Stranding 2: On the Beach finally has a release date — June 26 — and as he is wont to do, writer and director Hideo Kojima revealed this information in a lengthy trailer of a bunch of the game’s cinematics. As the world’s foremost Death Stranding obsessive, I’ve watched through this footage dozens of...

Blizzard has announced the return of BlizzCon, but it's not coming back until September 2026, meaning it will have skipped two years in a row.

My character turned into a dice, DM. Funniest thing I've ever seen.

In recent years, Apple has often released new iPhone color options as a mid-product cycle refresh, but the chances of a similar announcement in 2025 are looking increasingly unlikely. Apple has added new ‌iPhone‌ colors on six occasions in the past, consistently in either the March or April following an ‌iPhone‌'s launch: iPhone 7 and 7 Plus: (PRODUCT)RED (Tuesday, March 21, 2017) iPhone 8 and 8 Plus: (PRODUCT)RED (Monday, April 9, 2018) iPhone 12 and 12 mini: Purple (Tuesday, April 20, 2021) iP...

Chrono Trigger launched on the Super Nintendo on March 11, 1995, making it 30 years old. It’s still a revolutionary role-playing game now for many of the same reasons it was back then: Its time-jumping plot had you forging alliances with robots from the future and people from prehistory (yet it actually made sense), and...

Bandai Namco and Apple have announced that the first new Katamari Damacy game in almost eight years is coming to Apple Arcade next month.

Outlaw Keycards are your way into Fortnite’s Black Market backrooms. In the Black Market backrooms, you’ll gain access to extra chests, items, weapons, and more rewards depending on the level of your keycard, which changes depending on how many Outlaw Keycard quests you complete. Here’s everything you need to know about Outlaw Keycards in Fortnite...

It's been two long years for Hyungjun Kim.

Time for a bit of modernisation. With the upcoming Mesa 25.1 release, Collabora developer Faith Ekstrand announced a big change for NVIDIA GPU users. If you're not using the proprietary NVIDIA driver, that is.

San Diego Studio and MLB The Show add the G.O.A.T.s of baseball history to this year’s roster, totaling over 200 legends* in MLB The Show 25. Hall of Famer Ted Williams highlights a class of unrivaled ballplayers alongside Roger Clemens and Manny Ramirez, and introduces Negro Leagues legends James “Cool Papa” Bell and Wilber “Bullet...

I wish I could say that I’m the type of person who has tried-and-true routines to carry me through all the things that need to be done in a day, but the reality is far from that. As someone with overlapping chronic illnesses trying to juggle a full-time job and a life outside of that, just getting out of bed often feels like a major feat. I’m caught in the tug of war between perpetual exhaustion and lack of motivation, and whether I’m able to cross anything off my to-do list is generally a gambl...

Of all the many events I've attended for PCGamesN, BlizzCon is still the most special. Having played Blizzard games since I was a kid, I'd always wanted to venture out to Anaheim to immerse myself in the worlds I hold so dear. Azeroth, Sanctuary, Overwatch 2's futuristic Earth - my childhood playgrounds brought to vibrant life. But BlizzCon was canceled following the Xbox merger, with its future somewhat uncertain. Today, Blizzard has confirmed that the iconic convention is coming back, but we'l...

Comcast boosts its Xfinity internet speeds at no extra cost for many users each year, and the company is now rolling out the 2025 upgrades. Many subscribers will have double the upload speeds they previously had, and others will see a 50 percent jump. While it's nice to see Comcast upgrading the upload speeds, fiber internet typically allows for matching downloads and uploads. Google Fiber and Verizon Fios, for instance, offer symmetrical (or near-symmetrical) speeds. Comcast's download speeds a...

Desert Island Dekus. As we approach the end of the 'Switch 1' generation (at least, we hope we're approaching the end), we're starting to get all whimsical about the last eight years. In truth, the Switch has brought us some of our favourite games of all time, and the list of certified 10/10 bangers to have landed on the console is enough to keep us occupied for years — something our ever-growing backlogs can attest to. But rather than focus on the sheer mass of brilliance that now lays out befo...

The post BlizzCon Returns In 2026 appeared first on Xbox Wire.

Since its inception, campaigns of Dungeons & Dragons have leveraged the hex-crawl play style. That’s where groups of players venture out into an unforgiving wilderness in search of adventure, only to stumble upon things like camps of brigands, monster lairs, and mysterious ruined keeps filled with magical treasure. Hex crawl is also at the core...

The Clover Craze event is Black Ops 6’s take on a St. Patrick’s Day event. It starts on Thursday, March 13. In Clover Craze, you eliminate enemies in Multiplayer and Zombies or open caches in Warzone to collect clovers and earn rewards like the “Cloverleaf” AMES Assault Rifle blueprint. The event follows a milestone system...

Blizzard's big convention BlizzCon is skipping 2025, but will return in full strength next year.

I'm not all that big on ranking games, truth be told - why would I want to catalogue a piece of art that way? But seeing as you have me at gunpoint (just pretend for me), I'll admit I'd probably put Celeste in my top five. The platforming is tighter than any Mario entry, the art and soundtrack are stellar, and the story really hits home for me too. You can imagine how excited I was when Earthblade, the follow-up from developer Extremely OK Games, was announced, and how upset I was when it was ca...

I'm here for more granular control over battlement placement.

AMD recently released its new FSR 4 upscaling technology alongside its new RDNA 4 gaming GPUs, and modders have already figured out a way to get this new upscaling tech working in just about any game that already has Nvidia DLSS included. AMD FSR 4 requires a Radeon 9000 series GPU, and you can read all about the latest one in our RX 9070 XT review. Not only is it one of the best graphics cards that money can buy, but it is applying some serious pressure on Nvidia amidst that company's ongoing s...

Behaviour Interactive has announced a Dead by Daylight Tokyo Ghoul crossover, with protagonist Ken Kaneki joining the roster next month.

Pseudo full-tower with some insane cooling.

Nissan CEO Makoto Uchida is stepping down on April 1, the company just announced. He will be replaced by acting Chief Planning Officer (CPO) Ivan Espinosa. Uchida has been CEO since 2019 and Espinosa’s promotion will make him the company’s fourth CEO in eight years. Other senior management personnel are also stepping down on April 1, including Chief Brand and Customer Officer Asako Hoshino and Chief Strategy and Corporate Affairs Officer Hideaki Watanabe. This leadership shakeup is happening les...

A story on rails gives Monster Hunter the wrong kind of guidance.

A new Katamari Damacy game has been revealed, which will release exclusively on Apple Arcade.

Spilling the TT. For years, LEGO has found great success in teaming up with third-party studios to develop its tie-in game titles. However, it seems that collaborations with the likes of TT Games, 2K and Epic may soon come to an end, as a LEGO executive has suggested that the company wants to take things in-house in the future. In a recent interview with the Financial Times, LEGO chief exec Niels Christiansen stated that the company is looking to build its digital departments alongside its class...

Looks like we're set for a bunch more interesting game reveals! The Triple-i Initiative gaming showcase has announced a return for 2025 and it's likely another good one.

Intuit QuickBooks today announced Tap to Pay on iPhone for QuickBooks Online customers in the United States, allowing small and mid-market businesses to accept in-person contactless payments without additional hardware. The feature integrates with the QuickBooks mobile and GoPayment iOS apps, enabling businesses to receive payments using only an ‌iPhone‌. Customers can accept contactless credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, and other digital wallets without requiring external devices. Transactions...

Grand yet furtive robot action-adventure Steel Seed will launch on April 10th, developers Storm in a Teacup and publishers ESDigital Games have announced. Not heard of Steel Seed before? You would've if I'd ever written up that demo build I played at last year's Game Developer Conference. I don't know why it's taken me this long to mention the game, given that it contains one of my favourite things in fiction: a machine the size of a world.

Normally, when you think of Dead by Daylight killers, you think of, well, bad guys. There's Dracula from Castlevania, myriad classic horror villains, and various in-universe characters that are desperate to hack The Fog's survivor roster to pieces. It may come as a surprise, then, that Tokyo Ghoul's protagonist, Ken Kaneki, will be the next DBD killer, aptly entitled 'The Ghoul.' Set to put a horror spin on the iconic anime character, he's available right now on the game's PTB.

We've got a feeling the handheld could look rather familiar...

Fans of Tokyo Ghoul rejoice–Ken Kaneki is Dead by Daylight’s latest Killer and comes to PS5 and PS4 on April 2. For anyone new to the world of Tokyo Ghoul, the story takes place in a world where humans and Ghouls coexist. After a terrible accident, the bookish and kind Ken Kaneki receives a life-saving...

Severance is the kind of show that begets speculation. Some fans have theories about the show’s central mysteries (it’s gotta be a cloning thing!); others have strong opinions on various ships (what if Helly and Gemma both leave Mark for each other??). And then there’s me. I’m over here thinking about the seminal work of...

Poor buddy Brann just can't catch a break.
