A game that continues to review well by players, with it hitting a good sales milestone not long after launch, The Spell Brigade from Bolt Blaster Games has a big update out now with a brand new character.

The Humble Games Showcase 2025 just recently went live and with it we have some new game announcements and trailers. So here's what you might have missed to keep you up to date.

Get ready for Tanuki Kabuki. We had a great time with the stunning metroidvania Bō: Path of the Teal Lotus when it launched on Switch last year and now, it seems, the adventure is set to get even bigger. Announced during yesterday's Humble Games Showcase 2025, developer Squid Shock Studios shared an all-new trailer for the metroidvania, showcasing its upcoming 'Tanuki Kabuki' DLC. This one is set to arrive on Steam at some point in 2025, with a Switch release to be announced "at a later date", a...

Assassin’s Creed Shadows will in fact be compatible with the Steam Deck, Ubisoft say, despite a previous tech Q&A on the sneaky-stabby ninja sim declaring point-blank that it won’t. Announced on whatever the fuck Twitter is these days, the confirmation that Shadows will play nice with the Deck comes as a pleasant surprise – even without that prior naysaying, games with a GTX 1070 listed among the minimum specs typically don’t cope too well on the handheld’s frugal hardware.

Apple's upcoming iPhone 17 Pro models are expected to feature a significant design overhaul, and a new image apparently taken on an assembly line for the unreleased devices appears to confirm the biggest rumored change. Render of an iPhone 17 Pro model shared by Jon Prosser The iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max are rumored to adopt a horizontal camera bar reminiscent of Google's Pixel series, and this bar is expected to span the width of the device's back, housing the triangular triple-camera ...

Parents shouldn't let their children play Roblox if they are worried about their kids' safety in-game, Roblox boss Dave Baszucki has said.

With the launch of the desktop Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 reportedly imminent, several new retail leaks now suggest that the first gaming laptops with laptop-grade RTX 5060 GPUs could be ready to launch in early May. This would be an important launch one for gamers, as we’d expect these laptops to be budget-friendly when they launch in the US. Nvidia uses the same naming structure for both its laptop and desktop GPUs, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re equal in performance, and you will...

Batman voice actor Kevin Conroy will star posthumously in Netflix's Devil May Cry anime series.

When you make your way out of the cabin in the woods at the end of a production cycle, what happens next? With the release of Slay The Princess: The Pristine Cut DLC, I asked Black Tabby Games developers Tony Howard-Aris and Abby Howard about the game's past and present, as well as the future of Black Tabby Games, and even some very important lore about the Voices.

In a surprise turnaround after previously stating the Steam Deck would not be supported for Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Ubisoft have now said it actually will be.

Switch 2 release when? Ahead of Nintendo's Switch 2 Direct next month, the rumour about Bethesda's 2006 action-RPG The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion getting a "remake" has popped up once again. After leaked evidence dating back to 2023, the latest update suggests it could be arriving "sooner" than fans think. This information comes from the podcaster 'NateTheHate' with VGC also claiming the remake could be here "as soon as next month":

The physical Switch version is out this month. The cute social sim Hello Kitty Island Adventure arrived on the Switch earlier this year and was well-received, even if it did borrow a fair bit from certain powerhouse games within the genre. It seems the hard work has paid off for Sunblink, with the team announcing the title has now surpassed 500,000 sales across Switch and PC in just 30 days. Sales will likely be bolstered with the upcoming physical Deluxe Edition.

Daring Fireball's John Gruber today shared some strongly-worded comments about Apple's delayed personalized Siri features. Gruber is a well-known Apple pundit who has been writing about the company for more than two decades. In a blog post titled "Something Is Rotten in the State of Cupertino," Gruber said Apple's credibility has been "damaged" by the delay:Keynote by keynote, product by product, feature by feature, year after year after year, Apple went from a company that you couldn't believe ...

The game will close within 30 days, and refunds will be granted on purchases made after the launch of season 1.

Arriving later this month. The Picross experts at Jupiter have this week announced a new crossover release officially titled Picross S Doraemon & F Characters Edition. It will be launching for the Switch eShop in Japan later this month on 27th March 2025. Here's a rough translated description of what you can expect from this upcoming eShop release:

And some surprises... Humble Game Showcase 2025 aired earlier before and as usual, there were a bunch of Switch-related game announcements. We've even got some DLC - so here's a quick recap in case you didn't catch the show:

Meta has notched an early victory in its attempt to halt a surprise tell-all memoir from a former policy executive turned whistleblower. An arbitrator has sided with the social media company, saying that the book’s author should stop selling and publicizing the book, which went on sale earlier this week. The drama stems from Careless People, a new book by Sarah Wynn-Williams, a former policy official at Facebook who Meta says was fired in 2017. Described by its publisher as an “explosive insider...

The studio is working with Valve on classification.

The race to grow your civilization, discover new technologies, and defend your interests is at the heart of any good 4X game, and now in Ara History Untold, that can all culminate in the nation-destroying push of a big red button. As the already excellent strategy game continues to improve and get even bigger and better, its new 1.3 update brings a load of new gameplay options - including the ability to fire nuclear missiles at rival civilizations.

Google is pushing back on a bill that would make Utah the first state in the US to have a law requiring app stores to conduct age verification of their users. The company has formally requested the state's governor to veto the bill, passed by the state legislature last week, as it urges states to consider a different approach to app safety. In a blog post from Google public policy director Kareem Ghanem, the company said the Utah law poses “real privacy and safety risks” and that states shouldn’...

Ubisoft has some good news for Steam Deck owners looking to sink into Assassin's Creed Shadows later this month: after previously saying the game wouldn't be compatible with Valve's gaming handheld, it's now done a bit of a U-turn.

We’ve all seen plenty of new and long-running live service games meet their end over the last couple of years. Some were maybe too rough around the edges, too samey, too thin on the ground with content. However, even those that’ve offered up slick gameplay and novel concepts haven’t been safe from the chopping block, and that sadly now includes Spectre Divide. A 3v3 tactical shooter that, despite some early struggles, did a lot of things right, Spectre Divide will be shutting down within the nex...

The CS:GO mod Classic Offensive hasn't come back to life, but it's not dead, either.

When it goes live, iOS 18.4 will allow some users to set a default navigation app other than Apple Maps. The software of choice can be set from the Settings app by going to Apps, then to Default Apps, then to Navigation. This way, users can opt for a program like Google Maps or Waze to be automatically opened when you're getting directions. This sounds like a useful update that lots of iPhone owners would appreciate. But not all of them will be able to take advantage. Default navigation choice w...

Bethesda's long-rumoured The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion remake is reportedly due to be formally unveiled very soon, with signs pointing to a possible release before June.

When you look at the 2025 videogame rumor mill, there’s one project that’s cropped up a lot so far - a remake of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion. The beloved entry in the fantasy RPG series definitely feels like a prime contender for a modernized glow up, but Bethesda is yet to officially announce that it even exists. However, there’s been so many separate pieces of evidence pointing towards an Oblivion remake that it seems almost certain, and some fresh reports claim that it may arrive as early a...

There's a lot of buzz around Inzoi, the upcoming Sims-like from developer Krafton - partly because it's a promising new contender in a genre that's so far been dominated by a single series, and partly because it's a bit of a looker. And if you were wondering exactly what sort of PC you'll be needing in order to crank Inzoi up to the max, those details have now been revealed - alongside a video showing how the game'll look at different tiers.

When new iPhone models come out, Sebastiaan de With, the developer behind the popular Halide camera app, does a deep dive into the new camera technology. Last month, Apple released the iPhone 16e with an all-new standalone 48-megapixel camera, and de With checked it out to see how it compares to the cameras in Apple's flagship iPhone 16 models. On paper, the ‌iPhone 16e‌, the ‌iPhone 16‌, and the iPhone 16 Pro seem to have the same main camera, described as a 48-megapixel Fusion camera that's ab...

Intel has a new leader at the helm, hoping to change course after a challenging period for the chipmaker. The company announced today that Lip-Bu Tan will serve as its new CEO effective March 18.
