I always find it a bit odd when people make comparisons like "new game is the next game you really love" because you're most likely setting yourself up for some kind of disappointment. Atomfall was the most recent game to fall victim to such a framing, with many dubbing it as British Fallout, which it didn't end up being, nor was it likely intended to be. Thus, alongside some other issues, it's had a general reception of "yeah, it's not bad", which in a world of sequels upon sequels isn't always...

The developer of Rime and Gylt is being split up and sold in parts.

Celebrating the gloriously terrible PC gaming setups of r/shittybattlestations.

Spoilers for “Lux.” It’s an interesting time to be a long-running science fantasy media property in the streaming TV age. Star Trek is in the grip of an existential crisis as it (wrongly) fears it’s too old-aged to be relevant. Star Wars became a battlefield in the culture war and, to duck all future bad faith criticism, gave us The Rise of Skywalker. And then there’s Doctor Who, which is somehow managing to plough a 62-year furrow and still fill it with original ideas. Don’t believe me? This we...

A NASA spacecraft will make a close approach to an asteroid in the main belt on Sunday afternoon, in the second of several asteroid flybys planned for its 12-year mission to study remnants of the early solar system. The Lucy spacecraft will be 596 miles (960 km) from asteroid Donaldjohanson — named after the paleoanthropologist who discovered the “Lucy” hominin fossil — at the closest point of its pass, which will occur at 1:51PM ET, according to NASA. Lucy will use three instruments to capture ...

Look, here's the thing. I'm no narc, but when it comes to online games, you probably shouldn't cheat. Do what you want in single-player games! But in the multiplayer space you're there to have a nice time with everybody, you know? And as it turns out in the case of Monster Hunter Wilds, things can end pretty badly for you (I promise this isn't a Mafia-style threat). The official Monster Hunter Twitter account shared a post yesterday announcing that Capcom have "confirmed the unauthorized modific...

It's Star Wars Celebration right now, which as I gather is about celebrating giant balls of gas fighting one another. Sorry, I'm being told that it's actually about some multimedia franchise that has so much going on it's impossible to keep track of? Doesn't sound right to me, but I'll have to trust it. Arguably the biggest Star Warsy game announcement of the weekend is the first trailer for the Star Wars meets XCOM game Star Wars Zero Company, but it wasn't the only one. Turns out last year's S...

An icon of 2000s gaming wants us to know that it's still being used in big games, even if SSDs mean hardly anyone has time to show its logo anymore.

It looks like Assassin's Creed Shadows is coming to Nintendo Switch 2.

Monster Hunter Wilds has a cheater problem. Now that Capcom has launched Title Update 1, some players are altering files to put themselves at the top of leaderboards or massively inflate the rewards you can obtain from quests, and it’s making the game harder for everyone. Luckily for us, however, Capcom is quick on the draw and already advising you how to get around playing with cheaters, but these data modified quests are proving to be a major issue.

We've all known it's coming for a long while now, three years in fact, but Star Wars Zero Company got a proper reveal today. In case you aren't sure which one this was meant to be, it's the strategy one from Respawn and Bit Reactor, led by former XCOM devs. For the most part the announcement trailer is just a CGI cutscene, you've been round this rodeo before, you know how these things go. Though, it does end with a smidge of gameplay and yeah, it really does just look like Star Wars by way of XC...

Ryan Coogler, the Academy Award-nominated director of Creed and Black Panther, hasn’t been shy at all about citing the various inspirations behind his new horror thriller Sinners. In the weeks leading up to the film’s premiere, Coogler has been making the rounds along the press circuit, drumming up excitement and talking at length about the...

Dying Light 1: Stay Human's Patch 22 - the spring update - is now live, improving co-op, offering "creative control" over Villedor's looks, and introducing new rewards in Tower Raid.

The specifics of the claim are contested, but the ability to precisely stimulate the retina with lasers is cool whether or not it's really a 'new color.'

Star Wars Outlaws' next story update is coming on 15th May, 2025.

Close call for the dedicated community.

Collector's items no more.

If you’ve been sitting on the fence with regards to playing Skull and Bones, now’s the perfect time to try it. Not only has Ubisoft outlined colossal Year 2 plans that aim to completely revitalize the ailing pirate game, but the developer is even running a free weekend right now, too. With Assassin’s Creed Shadows hopefully marking Ubisoft’s new string of successes, Skull and Bones looks like it could follow suit. Besides, I can never argue with the chance to play a videogame for free.

I love a themed gaming PC build, because nailing the brief can be tricky, but when it's done right, it can often look incredible. Thankfully, this The Last of Us build manages to hit the spot, turning an otherwise standard Hyte Y70 Touch PC case into a design that immediately invokes all of the apocalyptic energy of the iconic game series, with powerful specs underpinning it, too. This gaming PC build is a showstopper, but it hasn’t reinvented the wheel with DIY components. The Hyte Y70 Touch ca...

Nintendo has already confirmed an increase on accessory prices. The price of Switch 2 accessories in the US has officially been adjusted by Nintendo "due to changes in market conditions" and there are now claims this could impact amiibo next.

When Polygon had a chance to video-chat with Doctor Who stars Ncuti Gatwa and Varada Sethu in advance of the new season, there was an experience that leapt out as their favorite: filming the animated sequences for this Saturday’s episode. Not recording — filming.  “Shooting the animation was very fun,” Gatwa said, “because it was...

Jekyll and hide.

Free faller. Falling. It hurts, right? We’ve all tripped up over nothing while walking and scraped our knees, or tripped up the stairs and landed face-first. It’s not fun. It’s embarrassing, it's painful, and it stands as a persistent reminder that I am the most clumsy of human beings. There’s a reason we can't jump off of buildings and cliffs and live to tell the tale – we’re just flesh and bone. That’s what video games are here for, then. They allow us to do the impossible, the unthinkable, an...

Go back 30 or 40 years, and video game cover art had some clear issues. It didn’t always follow precise style guides. It was frequently made in a vacuum by someone who had no idea what the game looked like. It relied on limited concept art, data, and technology. And it often sold a fantasy...

As one of the major titles to emerge from Microsoft's acquisition of Bethesda, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle proved a critical hit on Xbox Series X, S and PC in late 2024 - and now, four months later, it arrives on PlayStation 5 consoles. To cut to the chase, this translation to PS5 and PS5 Pro is a success all round. It compares well to Series X in particular, with developer MachineGames realising an authentic take on the Indiana Jones films using its Motor engine - a customised branch of ...

EA and Lucasfilm shared first look at Star Wars Zero Company, a new single-player strategy game set in the Star Wars universe, at Star Wars Celebration in Japan. The game was originally announced in 2022 as one of three new Star Wars titles being developed or co-developed by Respawn Entertainment, the studio behind Jedi: Fallen Order and Jedi: Survivor, including a new first person shooter and another entry in the Jedi series. There isn't a firm release date yet, but Star Wars Zero Company will ...

Could another Ubisoft game be on the way? Ubisoft was already been rumoured to bring multiple titles to the Switch 2, so what else might we see beyond Star Wars Outlaws?

Destruction has always set Battlefield apart from the competition. Whether it’s skyscrapers tumbling from up above, house walls being obliterated, or gigantic zeppelins scattered across the front line, your ability to quite literally level the playing field is core to the multiplayer game’s experience. This is why destruction is a key part of EA’s ongoing testing for the next game in the series, and a new update from the team shows how the mechanic is being evolved for the future.

But the work continues.

Tempest Rising, a real-time strategy game that's being called a "spiritual successor" and an homage to Command & Conquer, is now available to everyone. It was supposed to be released on April 24, but according to its developers, it was "unexpectedly made available" on April 17 for all players who pre-ordered the game. Instead of pulling it back, they've decided that the best and most seamless solution was to just release it a week early.  The game was developed by Danish studio Slipgate Ironwork...

Launching this August. Publisher Saber Interactive and developer Twirlbound have unleashed a new trailer for the upcoming 3D adventure game The Knightling, scheduled to launch on Nintendo Switch on 28th August 2025. If you've not got this one on your wishlist yet, then we'd recommend at least keeping a close eye on it as we approach the release date. It looks lovely. There's undeniably some Zelda influence in there, and we love how the protagonist's sheild can be used for close-range combat, lon...

This week saw rumor updates on the iPhone 17 Pro and next-generation Vision Pro, while a minor iOS 18.4.1 update delivered not just security fixes but also a fix for some CarPlay issues. We also looked ahead at what else is in Apple's pipeline for the rest of 2025 and even the 20th-anniversary iPhone coming in 2027, so read on below for all the details on these stories and more! iPhone 17 Pro Launching Later This Year With These 12 New Features Rumors about Apple's next-generation flagship iPhon...

There’s a lot of exciting new releases hitting theaters within the next month. Aside from Sinners, the new horror thriller from Black Panther director Ryan Coogler and starring Michael B. Jordan, we’ve got The Legend of Ochi, David Cronenberg’s The Shrouds, Thunderbolts*, and more. But if you’re looking for some great sci-fi to watch from...
