Stunlock Studios has announced the release date for V Rising update 1.1, also known as Invaders of Oakveil, and it's arriving in April.

Ever wondered why Pokémon Legends: Z-A is called that? There are a few notable coincidences already - Zygarde is likely to be the key mascot of this entry, with the previous game's being Arceus; and the mysterious character AZ, pronounced as "A, Z" returns here in a seemingly promintent role also - but now we have another explanation, via a new, seemingly quite important feature announced today, as part of the game's surprise appearance in the Nintendo Direct.

inZOI is set to enter its early access period on Friday, March 28, and according to information posted to the FAQ in the game's Discord server, it will run on the Steam Deck, but likely without Valve certification. After the positive news that inZOI would be removing Denuvo ahead of its early access launch, it's now been stated that the game "runs fine" on the best handheld gaming PC, even though you'll need to adjust some settings.

"This wasn't a passing of the torch."

It's been a while since Engadget has highlighted a Humble Bundle, but the latest one is just too good to ignore. The Dice and Destiny collection brings together six incredible RPGs in support of CARE, an NGO that fights hunger and poverty globally. For about $15, you get Broken Roads, Citizen Sleeper, Disco Elysium, Pillars of Eternity, Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire, Roadwarden and a coupon for 15 percent off of Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector.  Having played most of the games in this bund...

Ahhhh we want it. Nintendo has unveiled the official box art for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, and folks, it's a beauty. Showcasing Samus wielding her new psychic abilities and flanked by what we assume are friendly indigenous creatures, it's got a distinctly purple tone to it, and we absolutely love it. Samus is also rocking a gem in her helmet which we reckon is probably the source of her new powers.

Alan Wake 2 and The Outlast Trials keep this spring spooky without murdering your wallet.

Coming into 2025, I've found myself reading more books. From graphic novels to non-fiction anthologies, I've been bitten by the bookworm this year and can't quite seem to shake its influence. Having spent hours on mystery games like Strange Horticulture and, of course, Vampire: The Masquerade's Shadows of New York and its sister, Coteries, Your House felt like the logical next step. From Patrones and Escondites' bizarre press releases to the promise of "a story you can play," and "a game that yo...

WhatsApp can now be selected as the default calling and messaging app on iPhone, if users so wish (via WABetaInfo). A change in the latest version of WhatsApp available on the App Store (v25.8.74) causes the Meta-owned encrypted chat platform to now show up in the Messaging and Calling options list in iOS Settings ➝ Apps ➝ Default Apps. Apple introduced a way for users to select their preferred default apps for iPhone in iOS 18.2. Apple initially said that the feature would be coming to the Euro...

Beyond expectations..? Well folks, Nintendo's surprise Direct Presentation has come and gone, which means our attention has once again shifted back to the upcoming Switch 2 blowout next week. Before that, however, it's time to look back and reflect on what we've seen. Nintendo unveiled two initiatives in the form of 'Virtual Game Cards' and 'Nintendo Today'. The former is a way for Switch owners to move digital games between different systems in addition to lending titles out to family or friend...

The post The Return of Raidou: Atlus’ Upcoming Action RPG Remaster appeared first on Xbox Wire.

Stardew Valley publishers and Starbound developers Chucklefish have conjured up the first proper trailer for Witchbrook, the magic school life sim some have called “isometric Little Witch Academia”, and other, more English people “a reworking of The Worst Witch books”. Me, I’m going with “isometric Kiki’s Delivery Service”, given that there appear to be delivery missions and also, you do get to fly on broomsticks. I italicised that “do” in honour of Alice Bee (RPS in peace), who threatened in 20...

The design of Apple's Vision Pro has been overtly replicated by a new headset from Chinese smartphone maker Vivo. In the months following Apple's announcement of the Vision Pro, several companies revealed or teased similar devices, including Samsung, which announced in 2024 that it was working on an Android-based XR headset in collaboration with Google and Qualcomm. Now, at the 2025 Boao Forum for Asia, Vivo unveiled its first mixed reality headset, called the "Vivo Vision." Observers were quick...

Starting this fall, it will offer banking services. Those with a Gold subscription will have access to Robinhood Banking, billed as a private banking offering with individual and joint checking and savings accounts as well as luxury benefits on offer.

It's been revealed as a new faction for Warhammer: The Old World, Games Workshop's revival of Warhammer Fantasy.

I ain't afraid of no ghost. ATLUS popped up at today's Nintendo Direct showcase to reveal RAIDOU Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army, an updated take on the second entry in the PS2 supernatural RPG series 'Devil Summoner'. This remaster will be arriving on the Nintendo hybrid on 19th June 2025, with pre-orders going live on the Switch eShop today.

Nintendo may well be releasing its Switch successor sometime this year, but even so, we now know of one game still coming to the company's OG hybrid console in 2026.

In a surprise announcement during Thursday’s Nintendo Direct, Nintendo revealed a major change to the way digital game purchases will be handled. From now on, digital Switch games will become Virtual Game Cards that can be swapped back and forth between consoles, and even borrowed by family members. For players with multiple Switch consoles, Virtual...

Nintendo held a new Nintendo Direct presentation focused on the original Switch today, and we've got everything revealed during that show right here.

Nintendo is cutting out the middle man (us). In Thursday's Nintendo Direct presentation, the company announced its new smartphone app, Nintendo Today!, that will provide daily updates on games, characters and events. These tidbits might show up as videos, comic strips or quick break downs.  The app also has an animated calendar that is customizable to themes from some of Nintendo's biggest titles, like The Legend of Zelda, Super Mario and Animal Crossing. Plus, it will include a schedule of even...

Today’s Nintendo Direct provided a surprising bit of software news. The company just announced something called Virtual Game Card, which is a way to make playing and sharing downloaded titles more convenient. As the name suggests, this system creates a digital simulacrum of a physical game card. This means that multi-Switch households will easily be able to start a game on one console and transfer to another without any real hassle. Nintendo says they want to make digital games as easy to use as...

I could play this all day. After Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge, it was only a matter of time before Tribute and Dotemu assembled once again on another project, and assemble they have. Marvel: Cosmic Invasion is a retro-inspired beat 'em up that will see Earth's mightiest heroes get the Shredder's Revenge treatment later this year. And it looks wicked.

Nintendo announced a new app as part of this afternoon's Nintendo Direct presentation.

It wasn’t long ago that Arma Reforger was regarded as the unlovable misfire spin-off, an experiment that long-time fans of Bohemia’s realistic milsim series didn’t take seriously. Caught between Arma 3 and Arma 4, Reforger had its exponents, but seemed doomed to relative obscurity. But now, that’s all changed. After a whirlwind comeback in January and February, Arma Reforger is still enjoying a Steam renaissance, with impressive player numbers and some notable plaudits. Gray Zone Warfare, Escape...

The current-generation Nintendo Switch got an official send-off today in a Nintendo Direct featuring tons of announcements for the console. In a 30-minute presentation, we got to hear about a new Rhythm Heaven game, a new Tomodachi Life, some updates on Metroid Prime 4: Beyond and Pokemon Legends: Z-A, and more. Meanwhile, Nintendo’s Switch successor,...

Light, the company behind a pair of minimalist handsets, just released the Light Phone III. This is the perfect device for those who are tired of modern smartphones, with their easy access to doomscrolling and their abundance of wonky AI tools.  The Light Phone III features a sleek black-and-white OLED display, which is a new design element. The previous models included e-paper screens. The big draw, however, is not what this phone has but what it doesn’t have. There are no third-party apps. The...

With so many games available at our fingertips — or in our backlogs — it’s sometimes hard to know what games are worth our time. Figuring out where to spend our precious free time can feel daunting, especially with more things vying for our attention. And if you’re busy with jobs, family, or other obligations,...

I'm not going to be asking AI for fashion advice. Ever.

Nintendo’s newest Nintendo Direct comes at a strange time — less than a week before the company is set to lift the veil on Switch 2 and the next generation of Nintendo software. Thursday’s Nintendo Direct was all about games coming to the original Switch, which may feel ancient in 2025, but with more than 150...

Living the dream... we guess. Well, it's one that has been rumoured for a while (not as much as some games, we'll admit), but Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream, a new entry in the slice-of-life Mii series has been announced for the Switch's 2026 lineup. It looks... well, like a Tomodachi Life game. We saw a group of little Miis going about their daily lives, dancing, dreaming, chilling out and... passing wind? Yep, sounds about right. The trailer was also home to a particularly haunting giant Mii...

Nintendo has unveiled a new feature for Switch and Switch 2 that'll let players share their digital games with another console or Family Group members in the same way they might swap a physical cartridge. It's called Virtual Game Card and it's initially launching for Switch 1 in "late April".

The upcoming iOS 18.4 update for the iPhone adds an Ambient Music feature to Control Center.
