Age of Empires 2 is eternal. Like Half-Life, Fallout, Doom, and Deus Ex, it remains one of the foundational pillars that holds PC gaming aloft. Originally released in 1999, the best AoE game in history - and one of the greatest RTS games of all time - is still going strong a quarter of a century later. It always looked great, but the Definitive Edition makes it shine even brighter. With regular tweaks, upgrades, enhancements, and new material, the revised version of Age of Empires 2 remains the ...

It might be one of the pioneers of the survival game boom, but Rust isn’t resting on its laurels. Facepunch Studios' open-world multiplayer game is still routinely found in the Steam top ten to this day, where it thrives even in the face of continued Ark and Valheim updates along with newcomers such as Enshrouded and Once Human. Now, a new chapter is about to begin. Following the recent Primitive overhaul, it’s time to head to a completely fresh region, as the Rust Jungle update transports us to...

What are the new Azure Latch codes? Becoming the ultimate egoist takes far more than a few fancy tricks, though it doesn’t hurt to have Kaiser or Rin’s playstyles in your locker. Of course, you’ll need the cash to roll for them. In Azure Latch, you take to the Blue Lock pitch and showcase your soccer game skills to become the cream of the Roblox crop. At first, you’ll be another one of Ego’s unpolished gems, but with sheer grit, determination, and a few handy codes, you’ll make it as Japan’s num...

Marvel Rivals Season 2 begins today, which means it’s time to jam another syringe into the scarred and bleeding flanks of the Great Marvelbeast and extract a fresh superhero. This season kicks off with Emma Frost, a Vanguard hero with very large hams and a couple of strings to her bow. By default, she fights as a midranged psychic, casting beams, damage-multiplying orbs and crystalline shields. Switch to her diamond form, however, and she becomes a tanky brawler with the ability to grab and slam...

The hook of Exquisite Corpses — a huge new collaboration from 10 heavy-hitting horror comics creators — is that the citizens of Oak Valley, Maine, must band together when the richest families in America drop 12 of “the deadliest people in the world” into their town for a one-night-only, last-man-standing free-for-all to the death. But...

WhatsApp just rolled out a dozen new features. Most of these are small, but they add up to a fairly substantial software update. Let’s go over some of the more notable additions. Chats now allow for tappable reactions, which is basically like adding a thumbs up to someone else’s reaction. Group chats feature an indicator that lets users know how many people are actually online. This will be right underneath the group name. Solo conversations now offer the ability to create an event, complete wit...

As a teenager, Bradley Rothenberg was obsessed with CAD: computer-aided design software. Before he turned 30, Rothenberg channeled that interest into building a startup, nTop, which today offers product developers — across vastly different industries — fast, highly iterative tools that help them model and create innovative, often deeply unorthodox designs. One of Rothenberg’s key Read Article

Hello everyone! We just released Title Update 1.0.2 which added some key improvements to the PS5 Pro version of Assassin’s Creed Shadows, including the addition of PSSR support and the inclusion of ray traced reflections for Balanced mode. To celebrate, we wanted to give you deeper insight into the work done to bring this version...

Launch sequence initiated. The big talking point out of last week's Switch 2 Direct hasn't been the system deep dive, the Donkey Kong reveal, or the weird little camera; it's mainly been about Nintendo's approach to pricing. The messaging was non-existent in the Direct itself, but in the minutes and hours after it ended, we learnt that games would reach up to £75/$80 (in the case of Mario Kart World) and the system alone would set us back £395.99 / $449.99. While not unexpected, that's still a l...

Mafia: The Old Country will release on August 8th, but shut your yap and don't tell anyone, because developers Hangar 13 and publishers 2K Games appear to have revealed this early by accident. You didn't hear any of this from me. I ain't a rat. I'm not interested in things that don't concern me.

It's not a race.

It's a topsy-turvy time for tech pricing.

Open-world survival-crafter Enshrouded has hit a new sales milestone, and Keen Games has detailed the game's upcoming sixth update as well.

Once upon a time I only played triple-A games. Devil May Cry, Dragon Age, Mortal Kombat; all amazing franchises in their own rights, each of which defined my childhood in many different ways. But, since I began working in this industry - and at PCGamesN specifically - I've fallen in love with indie games, happily casting aside big open-world, narrative-driven triple-A games for gems like Animal Well, Indika, and, now, Promise Mascot Agency. Easily one of the weirdest games I've ever encountered,...

Following a big early access launch in 2024, Gray Zone Warfare is currently preparing for its next major update. The hardcore, realistic FPS offers an open-world island to explore, presenting a challenger to the likes of Escape From Tarkov and Exfil with a more persistent experience rather than extraction-focused rounds. Developer Madfinger Games recently restructured its roadmap towards full release, and now it’s unveiled a sizable cache of weapons, attachments, armor, and more that will be arr...

Your iPhone has multiple touch and gesture capabilities that can enhance how you interact with apps. Some, like pinch and zoom, are well known enough to be considered second nature, but others are less obvious, like the one we're about to explain. Two-Finger Drag to Select Items If you have apps where you habitually tap on each individual item in a list to select them – emails in your Mail inbox, for example – it's time to dial in some efficiency and embrace this faster method. This gestural fea...

"Like, 'we're gonna have 20% more ray tracing'. Okay?"

The Pump Room is a room in Blue Prince that can control the water flow around the Mt. Holly estate. By accessing the control panel and pumps inside the Pump Room, you can fill and drain water sources like the pool and kitchen. However, controlling the water flow is a puzzle in itself. Similar to...

"Hate scalpers on eBay? Report them.". We already know that, of course, scalpers are attempting to spoil the Switch 2 party — which must be particularly frustrating to US consumers who can't even pre-order the console right now. But fans are pushing back against extortionate listings, and rightly so. IGN reports that some people are heading to online auction sites and reporting some of the most expensive listings. Simply by searching on eBay for Nintendo Switch 2, you can find listings for the c...

There's a whole lot of space dwarf action going on lately. Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor now has a release date for the 1.0 release and we have new footage on the upcoming Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core too.

When Nintendo launched the Switch 2, it also revealed that it was going release upgraded versions of several existing Switch games, including both Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. It also revealed that games for the upcoming console will cost you more than what you're usually paying for games now. If you were hoping that the $70 price tag for the upgraded Breath of the Wild will at least include its DLC Expansion Pack, though, you're unfortunately out of luck. The co...

The post Next Week on Xbox: New Games for April 14 to 18 appeared first on Xbox Wire.

Up until recently, the only Black Mirror episode I’ve watched in full was “San Junipero,” where two queer women find unexpected love in a simulation and decide to remain there together. It’s famously known as one of the only Black Mirror episodes with a happy ending. I don’t think I’m the only person out there...

Nintendo opened their Switch 2 Direct with Mario Kart World, a wide-open racer that arrives some 11 years after the last mainline series entry. As the Switch 2's premier launch title, it carries huge expectations. What can we learn about the game and its tech from what's been revealed so far?
