In the final days of our pre-Switch 2 world, Nintendo is trying to rethink how sharing games works. The biggest announcement from the company's latest Direct was its upcoming Virtual Game Cards feature, a new approach to sharing digital games that improves on the company's current system, but still carries limitations that keep it from feeling truly modern. Virtual Game Cards attempt to make digital games as easy to share as physical ones. That starts with the company visually representing games...

Games Workshop recently held their AdeptiCon 2025 Preview event, announcing several products across their ongoing tabletop miniature franchises.

Shadow Labyrinth, an utterly bonkers riff on Pac-Man and sidescrolling Metroidvania games, will hit digital store shelves on July 18. It’ll be available for Nintendo Switch, PC via Steam, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. The game casts players as Swordsman No. 8 as he befriends a yellow orb called Puck. For the gaming historians out there, Puck-Man was the original name for Pac-Man. The gameplay involves switching from the classic sword-wielding hero to Puck, with the latter able to crawl on walls and (...

At this year’s AdeptiCon, the massive wargaming event that takes place in Milwaukee each year, Games Workshop took the opportunity of a mass audience to reveal new miniatures and updates to Warhammer 40,ooo. This year, the Space Wolves are getting some love. The Space Wolves are one of the loyalist Space Marines chapters, known for...

Ubisoft is continuing its efforts to course-correct after several challenging years. Today, the video game company announced that it will launch a subsidiary centered around three of its most familiar franchises: Assassin's Creed, Far Cry and Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six. The as-yet-unnamed subsidiary will fold in the teams working on those three series, including Ubisoft studios in Montréal, Quebec, Sherbrooke, Saguenay, Barcelona and Sofia. This new business will receive an investment of €1.16 bil...

Tencent will be a minority shareholder in the new venture, which is expected to be completed by the end of 2025.

Dunktastic! Developer Badgerhammer Games and publisher Playtonic Friends have announced that Dunk Dunk, the ridiculous arcade basketball game, will dribble onto the Switch on 8th May 2025. Featuring cameos from titles like Yooka-Laylee, Overcooked, Elsie, Demon Turf, and more, Dunk Dunk looks to be the perfect game to boot up with a few mates, a beer or two, and some tasty snacks. The premise is simple: you and up to three other players will need to compete to see who can achieve the most slam d...

A freelance writer in the old west. That's a point-and-click protagonist if I've ever heard one.

With a huge price premium over MSRP models, I'm struggling to see why you'd spend so much on this RTX 5070 Ti Eagle OC Ice.

I’ve been wondering the last few weeks whether the huge hype and focus on Verdansk’s return to Warzone next week would result in a weaker offering for multiplayer and Zombies content for Black Ops 6 Season 3. What a fool I was to doubt the almighty content machine that is Call of Duty. Yes, everyone (myself included) is losing their minds over Verdansk’s revival, and Warzone mania is rife, but Black Ops 6 is shaping up to have another solid season, and that includes the all new Zombies map, Shat...

Meta has spent the last few years remaking Facebook’s main feed into a “discovery engine” that primarily serves up recommended content from pages, groups and accounts users don’t already follow. But while the company has said the change is necessary to compete with TikTok, it’s also frustrated Facebook users who miss seeing posts from people they actually know. Now, Meta is trying to remedy this with a revamped “Friends” section of the app that will only show posts and content related to your Fa...

When there's as big a brand as Disney, that has enough money to just kind of throw whatever at the wall and see what sticks, eventually you wind up with something that might make you scratch your head a bit. Today, that thing is Disney Villains Cursed Café, a visual novel where you serve a bevy of potions to various Disney baddies, announced earlier today as part of the final Nintendo Direct for the OG Switch (but yes, it is on PC too - in fact it's already out on Steam).

Nearly 30 late arrivals. The March 2025 Nintendo Direct came as a surprise ahead of the Switch 2-specific presentation on 2nd April, but it delivered 30 minutes of game news for Switch 1, plus a couple of peripheral announcements. Below is the full Nintendo Direct March 2025 video, plus every game announcement with a trailer, a date, and a link to our coverage.

Attention, fellow Ghoul Hunters! Welcome to the Zone. Or shall I say: welcome to your final demise? Because according to my studies, only one in a hundred Ghoul Hunters will survive in the Zone!

It’s time to check back in with Sins of a Solar Empire 2, as a major update touches down in the space 4X game, alongside a new expansion that will put your skills to the test in a range of high-stakes missions. As the Paths to Power DLC launches, developer Stardock has reintroduced the original’s population mechanic to the 2024 strategy game, alongside new units, planet types, and a dramatic balance pass.

Lies of P is arguably the best Soulslike not developed by subgenre architect FromSoftware, and the reimagined Pinocchio story further won over players with an absolutely wild post-credits tease. But director Ji-won Choi recently said the upcoming Overture expansion won’t expand on that surprise cameo. “Please stay tuned for additional announcements in the future,” Choi...

I’ve worked on a lot of really cool things in my career. There’s Diablo 4, Overwatch 2, and, at the moment, Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2. All of these things, however, existed before I started working in videogames - they’re all decades in the making, and I rocked up at the final hurdle (the most exciting part, of course). But over the past couple of years, I’ve watched Warframe 1999 go from a five-minute teaser trailer to a fully realized questline, spanning two colossal patches packe...

AMD's Ryzen AI Max APUs may soon appear in desktop PCs, according to CEO Lisa Su. The big appeal of the mobile processor is its ability to deliver graphical performance that rivals some modern GPUs, but without needing a separate graphics card. In fact, the integrated GPU in the top Halo Strix chip has more stream processors and a newer architecture than the chip residing in the PS5. Strix Halo is a mobile CPU architecture with so much power in its integrated GPU that it can even outperform the ...

Crowns in Monster Hunter Wilds is something completionists will want to be tracking down.

Naughty Dog's Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet won't launch before 2027, according to one of gaming's more credible distributors of gossip and speculation. That's fine, because they haven't announced the sci-fi action-adventure for PC yet. Here's the reveal trailer again, in case you missed it.

More than a decade after debuting on the iPhone in 2014, the Monument Valley series is making its way to Switch consoles. On Thursday, Nintendo announced Monument Valley and Monument Valley 2 would hit the eShop on April 15, with Monument Valley 3, the most recent entry in the series, arriving sometime this summer.   This isn't the first time Monument Valley and Monument Valley 2 have been available outside of mobile devices.
