The Masters Tournament, the emerald jewel in the crown of professional golf, begins this week. That’s a statement I’m reasonably confident about, but not totally, because I know almost nothing about professional golf. But not completely nothing. I know that in J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth, it was invented by hobbits.  Oh, you may be thinking, is...

The post Elder Scrolls Online Direct – Get a First Look at Seasons of the Worm Cult appeared first on Xbox Wire.

There's a whole bunch of games set in space that let you duke it out in dogfights, form strategies around entire fleets, terraform planets, all often pretty violent acts. So, I found it very funny to see X4: Foundations at the Triple-I showcase today, which received a trailer for its upcoming Diplomacy update which is literally about just talking things out. Seriously, when it says that it's introducing diplomacy it means it, as when it arrives you'll be able to send diplomats to negotiate and f...

"Not going ahead."

“Chicken jockey,” take a step back — it’s time for the official music video of “Steve’s Lava Chicken” to have a moment in the Minecraft movie spotlight. And by “official music video,” we mean “The Warner Bros. folks have released a 50-second clip from A Minecraft Movie and comically labeled it as an official music...

My first look at Possessor(s)' gameplay was very promising.

On the heels of Razer pausing direct laptop sales in the US (thanks to those on-again, off-again, yet still very much on for China tariffs), the company has officially launched its remote game streaming app. Razer PC Remote Play, which the company rolled out in beta at CES 2025, is now officially available for iOS and Android. Razer may be a bit late to the party here, and its app is hardly the only way to stream your PC games to other devices. (For example, Steam's version has offered similar f...

Ahead of the Marathon gameplay reveal on April 12, developer Bungie has promised that folks on non-PlayStation platforms won’t need a PlayStation Network account to play. “Marathon will not require a PlayStation Account for players on PC and Xbox,” Bungie said in a post to the game’s official Discord channel Wednesday afternoon. The announcement prompted...

Panic has set a date for when it will share more about the second season of Playdate games. The company is hosting a Playdate Update event on April 17, at 1PM ET / 10AM PT where it plans to cover the developers participating in the season, how you can pre-order it and how much it'll cost. The Playdate's season structure was one of the main things that made the tiny handheld unique when it was first released. Every week for 12 weeks you receive two new games automatically downloaded to your Playd...

Our picks for the best eShop games from March on Switch 1. Hello, hello, we're here — nothing at all happened last week, right? We didn't miss anything? Okay, you might have noticed, but things got a lil' hectic last week, hence why our regularly scheduled eShop Selects is a bit later than normal. This are changing in the world of Nintendo, and soon, we'll have plenty more eShop exclusives come the Switch 2.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is functionally similar to its predecessor. Sure, the detachable controllers can now each be used as a mouse (on your pants, no less), the screen is bigger, the hardware is more powerful and there's a built-in mic for voice chat. But otherwise the company isn't rocking the boat too much. At least not outside of its business model, as it may be preparing to sell the console at a loss. For most countries, President Donald Trump has paused the harshest tariffs that he announce...

FakeFish, the devs behind the cosmic/ survival horror co-op game Barotrauma, have just revealed their next game at the Triple-i showcase, Frostrail. It's another cosmic horror co-op game, albeit with an incredibly different vibe. Where Barotrauma has you trundling through a submarine, Frostrail opens things up a bit, putting you in an icy, apocalyptic looking setting where you have your own train to get you from place to place.

Vampire Survivors has had a few crossovers in its time since releasing in 2022, like with Among Us, Contra of all series, and the one that felt like an inevitability, Castlevania. The game's latest collab was just announced at this year's Triple-I showcase, and personally it's a bit of a head scratcher: Square Enix's SaGa series. Referred to as the Emerald Diorama update, specifically because of the most recent entry in the series Emerald Beyond, it was introduced with another lovely animated se...

Vampire Survivors already has an eyewatering number of playable characters, and now it's teaming up with a classic JRPG series to add several more to its roster - plus, it’s also adding some chicken-themed mayhem. The best part is that both of these updates are completely free.

Void/Breaker, from the maker of The Entropy Centre, pits you against an army of robots controlled by an all-seeing AI.

Amazon is currently offering a great opportunity to stock up on some of our favorite board games for less. Right now, if you add two games participating in the sale to your cart, Amazon will knock 50% off one that’s of equal or lesser value. And that’s after the sales price — many of our...

DoorDash has started robot deliveries in Los Angeles and Chicago. This is thanks to a partnership with the company Coco Robotics. Eligible customers will be able to receive sidewalk deliveries sourced from over 600 participating merchants. Coco robots have been making deliveries for DoorDash in Helsinki since late last year through its international sub-brand Wolt. DoorDash says that Coco robots completed over 100,000 deliveries during this initial pilot phase. Robots take humans out of the deli...

Usada Pekora is one of the biggest Vtubers in the world, but even she can’t withstand the might of Nintendo. According to a report from Automaton, Nintendo recently contacted Cover Corporation, owner of the Vtuber talent agency Hololive Japan, over concerns Pekora may have used a hacked Pokémon Emerald cartridge during a March 29 broadcast....

Announced just now at the Triple-I Initiative, Ikuma - The Frozen Compass is a wintry 3D action adventure in which a tenacious young buck and his dog get stranded on an Arctic island. The key thing to know is that it's a co-op game, a co-op splitscreen game, if you please, which means that you and your friends must decide, right now, which of you will play the dog. This game is described as "a powerful story of love, loss, and endurance", which doesn't bode brilliantly for the dog, so whoever do...

The Alters is a big tonal swerve for 11 bit. This War of Mine is about as grave as survival games get, following the arduous day-in, day-out of civilians trying to stay alive during the siege of Sarajevo. Frostpunk and its sequel are that much more fantastical, but still grounded in a kind of gruelling minutiae - Frostpunk 2 especially is all about grinding out small victories with little resources. But now The Alters launch date has been confirmed, and the super-stylized, could-be rival to hits...

If I was ever offered the opportunity to clone myself, I'd quite quickly say "no thank you, there's one too many of me in this world already." However, in The Alters, the needs must, as it sees its protagonist needing to create clones of himself (the titular "Alters") so that he can escape a hostile planet he's crash-landed on. It's a little bit crafty, a little bit management gamey, and as revealed during its latest trailer during the Triple-I showcase, it now has a release date of June 13th, 2...

Even a decade after it launched, the original Endless Legend is one of the best 4X games around. Developer Amplitude Studios didn’t just craft a truly special fantasy and sci-fi universe, it also put on a masterclass in strategy design. While the influences of Age of Wonders and Civilization are clear, the colorful factions and their individual territories put a unique twist on the genre. Now, Endless Legend 2 is closer than ever, as we finally have an imminent launch window.

Who can resist a round-up, eh? And was more than enough to love about tonight's Triple-i Initiative showcase, which returned for its second year with a quivering heap of indie-focused announcements and reveals. We got a release date for 11 Bit Studio's fascinating The Alters, and one for SloClap's football game Rematch - and that's alongside news updates for the likes of Katana Zero, Deep Rock Galactic, Endless Legends 2, X4: Foundations, Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era, V Rising, and more. S...

Slocap’s next game Rematch will be available on June 19. It’ll cost $30 and will be playable on PC, Xbox Series X/S and PS5. The announcement was made at the The Triple-i Initiative indie showcase. Rematch is a soccer title, which may seem surprising for the company that made the brawlers Sifu and Absolver. However, it looks to be an arcade-focused affair instead of a serious sim. There are both 5v5 and 4v4 matches and the action looks fast-paced. There are no fouls, offsides or anything like th...

What’s the biggest challenge that you face in Manor Lords? Maybe resources are running low and winter is on the way, or perhaps you want to expand further outward but don’t have the cash and people power. The economy might sink. Your citizens could turn on you. But at least you can sleep at night confident that your burgeoning medieval township won’t be ransacked by a gigantic horde of monsters. Not so in Super Fantasy Kingdom, the new city builder published by Hooded Horse that mixes municipal ...

Here at Naughty Dog, we have some exciting news to share with The Last of Us fans, whether you’ve been with us since its debut in 2013 or are just wanting to jump into the games now. We wanted to celebrate our studio, the series, and you, the fans, by making it easier than ever...

While there are plenty of great co-op shooters out there, Deep Rock Galactic has always felt unique thanks to its humorous tone, visual identity, and fully destructible environments. While not exactly a full sequel, Deep Rock Galactic Rogue Core takes the DRG experience and gives it a roguelike twist, and it's highly anticipated. Well, very soon, a few lucky souls will be able to try it out for the first time, because developer Ghost Ship Games has revealed that a closed alpha is on the way. It’...

Today in 'game pitches that would keep you reading a novel if they were the first line' is Neverway, a horror RPG with life sim bits from Coldblood Inc. Burnt out from years working a dead-end job, Fiona (and I'll quote this directly because it's the blasé single sentence that did it for me) "starts over on a farm and becomes the immortal herald of a dead god". Lovely stuff. Cucumbers. Carrots. Cthulhu. City slickers will say it's fake, but we've seen the punchline to this whole cosmic joke, squ...

I was all primed to ignore Void/Breaker forever based on it being pitched to me as a roguelite FPS in which you "escape an endless cycle" and "craft infinite weapon variants" in order to "forge deadly synergies". I joke, I joke. There is, of course, no way of ignoring the roguelike and/or roguelite genre in this, the year 2025. We are all caught in the endless cycle of roguelike or roguelite releases, doomed to forge synergy after synergy until whatever software our universe is secretly running ...

Black Mirror’s strain of science fiction is known primarily for three things: a bleak tone, twist endings, and a point to make about the current moment.  How creator Charlie Brooker checks those boxes isn’t always unpredictable; with a freshly released seventh season on Netflix, Black Mirror fans certainly know there’s something coming, and part of...

The Alters - the upcoming survival game from the This War of Mine team 11 bit Studios - has landed itself a release date.

At long last, Askiisoft says "everything has started to come together" on the DLC.
