Spry Fox announced its next game, which is "a cooperative village life sim designed to foster friendship, kindness, and community" titled Spirit Crossing. It has an art style that makes me think of a pastel-hued Spirited Away, especially given the presence of moody spectres hanging out in the quaint town setting. The teaser trailer also shows players engaged in classic cozy game activities such as giving gifts, fishing, coasting on hang gliders and riding very floofy critters. In other words: I'...

"...and of course Hollow Knight: Silksong too!"

A recent teaser video has fans buzzing!

Media platform Plex today announced that it is raising prices for the Plex Pass subscription service, marking the first price increase that Plex has introduced in a decade. Starting on April 29, the Plex Pass will cost $6.99 per month or $69.99 per year, with a lifetime purchase option available for $249.99. Right now, the lifetime Plex Pass costs $120, while the monthly option is $4.99 and the annual option is $39.99. Plex says that it needs to raise prices to keep up with rising costs, and tha...

While Anker is known for a broad array of charging accessories, the Anker Prime family features some of the company's most advanced technology and feature sets to deliver a premium experience. I've been testing out a few Anker Prime travel accessories over the past few months, including some of Anker's most compact yet powerful multi-port wall chargers, a multi-port power bank, and a high-end USB-C charging cable to help keep even Apple's most power-hungry products charged up. Anker Prime Wall C...

Pirate games have been making something of a comeback over the last decade or so. One of the most celebrated Assassin's Creed entries is Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag. Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii continues the crime series' tradition of popular spin-offs. And Sea of Thieves has enjoyed ongoing popularity since it launched in 2018. Still, with Skull and Bones marking a disappointing recent attempt at a new multiplayer pirate game, there's plenty of room for competitors. Fortunately, a...

Verizon has announced that it will now support sending text messages via satellite on phones from the Pixel 9 and Galaxy S25 lineup. Both Google and Samsung's current phones support satellite connectivity, but neither has really leveraged the skill outside of the Satellite SOS feature that was added to Android 15. Sending texts via satellite will be available when Pixel 9 and Galaxy S25 phones are "outside the reach of terrestrial cellular networks," Verizon says, and should come with same limit...

"Throughout development we frequently consulted GAME ARTS". With just a month to go before the Lunar Remastered Collection launches, GungHo Online Entertainment America has shared some insight into the upcoming rereleases. Speaking to PlayStation.Blog, GungHo Producer Matthias Pergams says that the team initially struggled to decide what version to base the remasters on — as the games were release for both SEGA-CD and later for the PlayStation (Lunar: Silver Star Story also came to PSP and mobil...

Helldivers 2 creative director Johan Pilestedt has slammed the current spate of video games industry layoffs as "unnecessarily brutal" and said that companies needed to learn lessons to avoid the same painful cycle of "death and rebirth" in future.

"There's a bit of Ark in your AI."

I am pleased (?) to report that Snow White’s atrocious Party City dress isn’t actually the worst costume in Disney’s new live-action remake of its 1937 animated classic Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. That honor belongs to the outfit worn by Jonathan (Andrew Burnap), the new male lead, who’s more like Tangled’s Flynn Rider...

The Smash Bros. director says they should strive to avoid "making Americanized works."

Elio, Pixar’s newest movie coming June 20, is a sci-fi alien adventure about a lonely boy who has the time of his life after he’s abducted by extraterrestrials. Previous teasers have showed off the funky and gorgeous space world, as well as some of the cool alien designs. But in this new trailer, we finally...

Players’ eagerness in the fight for Super Earth begs the question: are we the baddies?

Remember how it felt in Bloodborne when you discovered a shield and learned that it existed purely to shame and humiliate returning Dark Souls players who are over-reliant on blocking? Do you remember reading those awful, judging, fourth-wall-besmirching words, “Shields are nice, but not if they engender passivity”? Well, The Knightling is the opposite of that feeling. It’s a bouncy, breezy open world platformer in which you are a novice chevalier equipped with a circular, gear-toothed shield he...

The second season of HBO’s The Last of Us will include support for American Sign Language when it premieres on Max on April 13, the streaming platform has announced. It will join movies on Max that offer ASL as an option, including Barbie, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, and Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. The Last of...

League of Legends has managed to stay relevant for more than 15 years now thanks, in part, to creator Riot Games' constant work to spin off characters and concepts from the MOBA into new game genres and other media. These have included comics, the animated Arcane TV series, and, of course, games like Ruined King, Teamfight Tactics, Bandle Tale, Song of Nunu, and Legends of Runeterra. And now, in a surprise announcement, League of Legends' client will include a non-Runeterra card battling mini-ga...

Streaming service Plex is raising its prices for the first time in ten years. The company just announced an increase for its premium subscription service Plex Pass, which offers a number of additional features like offline access and themes. The standard service is still free, if you’re looking to set up a simple media server to stream some movies or shows. Plex Pass will soon cost $7 per month, which is an increase of $2 per month. A yearly subscription will come in at $70, a fairly substantial...

There sure are a lot of Monster Hunter Wilds PC mods for Alma, your nerdy sidekick, but none are as good as the one that turns her into a Seikret. You read that right: Someone put the Chocobo knockoff you ride in Alma’s big jacket and gave her glasses. Nexus Modders PB472 and IvoryLagacrus are...

And there's a good chance that it becomes an example of AI improving someone's job, not replacing it.

Shields up this August. Saber Interactive and Twirlbound have announced that the fantasy adventure The Knightling will be making the journey to Switch on 28th August. We originally caught wind of this one last year, when the reveal trailer left us with a sudden hankering to revisit Breath of the Wild. Today's release date trailer does the same again, showcasing all of the field-trotting exploration we'd expect from the Zelda series, with some unique movement-based action thrown in for good measu...

The Thrustmaster SOL-R Flightstick takes the concept of a bulky, desk-invading HOTAS setup and reduces the required space massively, and it does this without major compromise. You still have throttle controls, 44 total inputs, and a Hall Effect joystick, but rather than needing two separate units or one overly wide contraption, it’s all contained within a 196mm x 196mm square that sits comfortably even on the most crowded of desks. The Thrustmaster SOL-R 1 Flightstick is among the best PC contro...

Save big on some premium titles including Chrono Cross, Crisis Core, and more!

At the very least, it's great for the blood circulation in your glutes.

American robins are quite common in North America; their cheerful trills are common tunes sang in neighborhoods and cities. You may hear their songs before you see them yourself, though they’re not necessarily hard to spot either: Their distinct orange bellies make them some of the easiest birds to recognize. I see them everywhere —...

That number is US sales, but it suggests Warhorse's purse is overflowing with groschen.

Android smartphone maker Nothing recently came out with the Phone 3a and Phone 3a Pro, just a little after Apple launched the iPhone 16e. Since Nothing's smartphone is targeting roughly the same group of smartphone buyers as the ‌iPhone 16e‌, we thought we'd do a comparison. Subscribe to the MacRumors YouTube channel for more videos. The ‌iPhone 16e‌ is priced at $599, which is higher than any other budget smartphone that Apple has released to date, while the 3a Pro is quite a bit more affordabl...

It's been a billion years since I played a proper new Front Mission game, and I'm depressed to learn that Square Enix cancelled one in 2022. Titled Front Mission 2089: Borderscape and developed by BlackJack Studio, it was announced for release on iOS and Android but, who knows, might have clanked and rumbled onto PC, the place all good mobile games go when they die. Alas, Square Enix shut the project down a few months after reveal. Now, they're suing BlackJack for releasing a new game that alleg...

Unlock all the skills then make the perfect concoction for a build.

This year's showcase will feature more than 50 games, with world premieres, new trailers, developer interviews, and more.

Assassin's Creed Shadows is a pretty standalone entry in Ubisoft's long-running series, with fewer ties to what's gone before than any other game in recent memory.

A new entry to the Civilization series is always a tricky proposition. As much as players love a fresh take on the long-running strategy staple, changes in design approach and the typical need for months of refinements and add-ons sometimes mean it's better to play an older Civ or a competitor like Against the Storm, Total War: Pharaoh, or Crusader Kings 3, than the latest launch. This seems to be the case with Civilization 7, which only came out a month ago but had fewer players on Steam than 2...

The post GDC 2025: Celebrating Innovation in Gaming and Our Communities appeared first on Xbox Wire.

Talk to me when these numbers actually refer to something.

Continue? After 33 years in the biz, the iconic publication Game Informer closed its doors last August with all of its staff laid off in the process. But now, eight months on, it seems that a comeback may be on the cards. At least, that's what is being teased by a recent video from the outlet. The short clip slowly zooms in on the site's final farewell message — the one you can still find on the now mostly-defunct Game Informer website — as some mysterious synths and chatter happen in the backgr...
