Farcana is developed by Abu Dhabi-based studio Dizzaract, the largest game studio in the region.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's director was 'starving for new turn-based RPGs,' and figured if he wanted them, there would be others out there who'd want to play his game

A new trailer shows off the co-op roguelite’s gunplay chops and teases an upcoming demo.

As March draws to a close and Linux 6.14 nears release, now is a good time to provide you all with our first major progress update since taking the lead on the project. Going forward, we hope to keep these updates in sync with upstream kernel releases. We feel that this is a natural cadence given the focus on upstreaming, with enough time between posts for noteworthy downstream changes to accumulate.

The max level cap in Assassin’s Creed Shadows is so high you might not even need to worry about it. In general, your level determines the equipment you can use, the in addition to the rating of your base stats, like health. The weapons and armor you find — plus the enemies you run into —...

Tonight's Future Games Show obviously wasn't about any one game or studio in particular, but funnily enough, it did open and close with games from (technically) one developer. The show started things off with a look at Lost Rift, a supernatural, survival, PvPvE extraction game - that's a lot of things - from People Can Fly. In case you were wondering, this is what became of Project Victoria which was shelved only three months ago. Weirdly enough, the show then ended with the series that put PCF ...

Across 2024 and the early months of 2025, Apple refreshed all of its Macs with next-generation M4 chips, with the exception of the M4 Pro. The M4 Pro is still waiting for an update, but it is supposed to get an overhaul later this year. M-Series Chip The current version of the Mac Pro can be purchased with Apple's M2 Ultra chip, which came out in June 2023. It might seem logical for the ‌Mac Pro‌ to get the equivalent M4 chip, the M4 Ultra, but it turns out Apple might not have an M4 Ultra in th...

If you've found yourself pondering the time-travel terrors teased in Bloober Team's Cronos: The New Dawn reveal trailer last October, you might be intrigued to hear the Silent Hill 2 Remake studio has now shared further details in a new developer diary. That's alongside the reveal of I Hate This Place - an open-world survival horror game it's publishing later this year.

Nightdive Studios' long-in-the-works System Shock 2 remaster finally has a release date, and it's coming to PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, and PC on 26th June.

It’s called thalassophobia, the fear of deep and large bodies of water. Subnautica has it - it looks pretty, sure, and there are a lot of marvels below the ocean’s surface, but when your sensors start blinking and a Leviathan is closing in, well, that’s about as frightening as games can get. Soma, the occasionally overlooked horror classic from Amnesia’s Frictional has it, too, those awful moments when you’re wandering the sea floor in total darkness. Take that enormous sense of isolation, vulne...

Slender: The Arrival VR by developer Blue Isle Studios is the unholy union of a horror phenomenon and an innovative gaming peripheral. Together, they deliver a holistic horror experience to players looking for a game that can shake them to their core.  On May 13, Slender: The Arrival VR will utilize the platform-defining features and...

Naturally, when you play a city-builder or a strategy game, you expect pressure. In Civilization 7, you oversee the entirety of human history. Manor Lords puts you in charge of a burgeoning but fragile Middle Ages township, while Stellaris taks you with safeguarding the galaxy. But how about something a little more…peaceful? City Tales: Medieval Era is a builder with a cozy twist. Nevertheless, it has some majorly detailed mechanics. And now, it’s also got an early-access release date.

It's been more than 20 years since Painkiller, the horror FPS game from Bulletstorm and Outriders creator People Can Fly, first came out. Players who loved its blend of demonic menace and fast-paced shooting have been able to find plenty to enjoy in games from the intervening years, like 2016's Doom and its sequel Doom Eternal, or Metal: Hellsinger and Devil Daggers. But there's nothing likely to scratch the exact same itch quite as well as a brand-new announcement made earlier tonight: A surpri...

I don't know if you can destroy mankind's wretched ambition with cannonballs, but I'm certainly going to try.

Apple has been accused of false advertising and unfair competition for delaying the Siri Apple Intelligence features that it promoted when launching iOS 18 and the iPhone 16 models, reports Axios. The suit targets Apple ads that showed off ‌Siri‌ features that were unavailable, and claims that Apple cultivated “a clear and reasonable consumer expectation that these transformative features would be available upon the iPhone’s release,” while also driving “unprecedented excitement” that convinced ...

The long-awaited remaster finally has a release date, and a new mode that the game’s own director is struggling to get through.

Zagg this week announced the launch of several hubs designed for the iPad and Mac, providing new options for connecting peripherals to Apple's devices. The iPad-friendly 6-Port Media Hub features an integrated tablet stand, a set of simple-to-use media buttons for controlling video and music playback, and multiple ports. It includes an HDMI port that supports a 4K 60Hz display, a USB-C port with 100W passthrough charging, a USB-A port that supports 10Gb/s transfer speeds, an SD card reader, a mi...

You’ll need to find Imai Sokyu during the “Searching Sakai” quest in Assassin’s Creed Shadow. It’s one of the main story missions where you’re trying to discover the identity of a the Golden Teppo. Imai Sokyu has a direct connection to Oda Nobunaga and might be the help you need to proceed with your plans....

“Dress for Success” is a key quest in taking down the Golden Teppo, one of your first main story targets in Assassin’s Creed Shadows. It’s available after completing “Searching Sakai.” In it, you’ll need to help a kosode maker retrieve her silk so that you can get a new garment for a tea ceremony, but...

Bloober Team is taking its horror game cred into a new direction with the launch of publisher Broken Mirror Games. This "co-development label" is collaborating with Rock Square Thunder, an indie outfit founded by ex-Bloober devs, for a new open-world survival horror game called I Hate This Place. It's scheduled for release in the final quarter of 2025 on PC, PlayStation, Xbox Series S/X and Nintendo Switch. The source material for this adaptation is a comic book series of the same title from Sky...

There’s something really exciting about FBC: Firebreak, Remedy’s take on cooperative, online first-person shooters. I’ve been trying to pinpoint a specific wow factor since attending the game’s developer-led demonstration last week, but I’ve concluded it’s a combination of multiple cool features blended perfectly together. FBC: Firebreak is set in the sterile headquarters of the Federal Bureau of Control and it features Remedy’s trademark dark surrealism, but it’s also infused with a healthy dos...

The post FBC: Firebreak Isn’t Just Reimagining Control – It’s Reimagining Modern Co-Op Shooters appeared first on Xbox Wire.

After Bloober Team’s excellent Silent Hill 2 remake, I’m willing to give the developer the benefit of the doubt when it comes to its brand of horror games. It certainly helps that its next effort, Cronos: The New Dawn, looks incredible and is giving off gory Dead Space vibes. Cronos: The New Dawn co-directors Wojciech...

FBC: Firebreak - Remedy's three-player co-op first person shooter based within Control's Oldest House - is set to release this summer, and now the team has given us a fresh look at the upcoming game.

"You should expect the unexpected from Remedy!"

It's been five years since Mount and Blade Bannerlord launched. In the time since, the strategy and action RPG hybrid has remained one of the best choices for players looking to blend the management aspects of medieval games like Crusader Kings 3 or Manor Lords with the more direct action of Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 or Chivalry 2. Now, in a surprising new announcement, creator TaleWorlds Entertainment has just revealed a massive new DLC for Bannerlord: The Viking-inspired War Sails.

The latest addition to the demon-killing FPS series looks the part, but it makes some pretty big changes too.

Hi everyone, I’m Julius Fondem, Community Manager here at Remedy Entertainment. Today I’m very excited, jazzed even, to talk to you about a brand-new feature in our upcoming game FBC: Firebreak – Altered Augments. If you’re not familiar with FBC: Firebreak, it’s a cooperative first-person shooter for three players set within a mysterious federal agency...

Remedy Entertainment is no stranger to unconventional ballistics. The Finnish game developer is well known for its eclectic, boundary-pushing approach to third-person shooters with titles such as Max Payne, Alan Wake, Quantum Break, and Control. But a co-op first-person shooter where you fight, among other threats, a sentient swarm of Post-it notes? That’s a new...

A co-op FPS set in the reality-bending universe of Control? It sounds like a great concept, but I had my reservations about FBC Firebreak when it was first revealed. We’ve seen a lot of multiplayer spinoffs of single-player diamonds that have been mediocre at best, and flops at worst. If you’re PlayStation, you’ll cancel most of them before they even get out the door. As a result, I treat any game like FBC Firebreak with apprehension. However, after learning more details from Remedy and watching...

The season 2 finale of popular Apple TV+ series Severance is set to air tonight, with the episode going live at 6:00 p.m. Pacific Time or 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Episode 10 of season 2 will have the longest runtime of any episode so far, coming in at 76 minutes. Tonight's season finale will wrap up the season 2 storyline and provide some insight into just what the Macrodata Refinement department does and what "Cold Harbor" really is. A brief teaser for episode that Apple shared on social media h...

Following the introduction of the iPhone 16e, new iPads and Macs, and some new accessories over the past month, what will Apple's next product announcement be? Based on rumors, a second-generation AirTag item tracker is likely next up. Last year, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reported that a new AirTag would be released around the middle of 2025. More recently, a leaker known as Kosutami claimed that Apple plans to release a new AirTag in May or June this year. Both of those timeframes suggest that th...

Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord, is coming up to three years now, but at the Future Games Show this evening, all these years on, developer TaleWorlds Entertainment announced that the strategy action game will be getting its first bit of DLC, War Sails. If you can't gather from the name, featured image above, and trailer below, the DLC is all about boats; sailing 'em, fighting with 'em, trading with 'em, you name it, these boats can do it (within reason).
