The voice artist behind The Witcher 3's Yennefer of Vengerberg has told Eurogamer that she doesn't know yet if her character will return in CD Projekt's in-development The Witcher 4.

Several AMD CPUs are going for absurdly low prices right now, and the latest one to drop into bargain territory is the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X. Originally launched in August 2024 for $279, this six-core gaming CPU is currently going for just $185 on Amazon, by far its lowest ever price since launch. This saves you over $100 on the original MSRP, and makes an upgrade to AMD’s latest Zen 5 CPU architecture much more tempting. This AMD CPU got off to a difficult start when it first launched, thanks to it...

XDefiant executive producer Mark Rubin says developers like Activision are too focused on making the most money, instead of designing a good game that players naturally gravitate towards. Rubin says games like Call of Duty, which they've previously worked on, strategically keep hold of players by focusing on engagement tactics over quality material. Ubisoft’s failed multiplayer FPS was positioned as a rival to CoD, but after struggling to gain popularity, it was taken off stores by the Assassin’...

The A Minecraft Movie team is leaning in - or trying to counteract - the viral rowdy cinema behaviour memes by introducing sing-along 'Block Party Edition' screenings.

It's hard to imagine why, in the first instance, Sony ever greenlit Days Gone. With a sequel to The Last of Us already on its slate, the PlayStation machine pumped millions upon millions into a second zombie series featuring a protagonist in mourning. Another game about a world torn between the terror of life out in the wilds, and the servitude of existence in a camp.

Kaiserpunk has a lot of ambition. As well as a city-builder and pseudo factory sim, it’s also a WWI-inflected grand strategy game, combining the close-up management of Cities Skylines 2 with the world-conquering scale of Crusader Kings and Civ 7. Considering everything that it’s trying to pull together, Kaiserpunk already works incredibly well. But it could be better. After a tricky Steam launch and some frank player feedback, developer Overseer has just released a major new update. If you bounc...

Valve released another small stable Steam update for Desktop and Steam Deck, bringing in some pretty essential fixes for both platforms.

From Daedalic Entertainment and the team at Flatter Than Earth, Once Upon a Puppet is a grand adventure eight years in the making and a powerful production worth a resounding round of applause. Meet Nieve, an ambitious Weaver and Puppeteer unceremoniously exiled to the Understage by her melancholy king. With her magically bound puppet, Drev, dangling by the strings of her glove, this dramatic duo is ready to do whatever it takes to get the endlessly curious actor back to entertaining an audience...

A few years ago I found an old hardback tome of Solitaire rulesets on a garden wall. It was a bright, unambiguously pleasant day and I remember thinking 'oh, that's the wotsit that inspired those regency thingamajigs'. So I took it home and tried my hand at a few variations, then forgot about the book entirely. After reading about Occlude, I can only wish my discovery had been more ominous, more foreboding. Why couldn't I have found the book in a secret cellar, its hastily painted-over entrance ...

Ex-Zodiac is a 3D on-rails shooter made in the spirit of the classic Starfox, it's currently in Early Access with Linux support and a major update just released.

With coins pricing at around $90,000 the math just doesn't add up.

The inspiration is obvious to anyone who has seen classic Disney cartoons on this one and I'm all for it. MOUSE: P.I. For Hire looks like a lot of fun and the latest trailer shows off more weapons.

It's still a very scary week to be an Intel employee.

The law's designed to keep other countries one node behind Taiwan at all times.

With a world inspired by the lore and iconic concept albums of the metal music band Voivod, the latest retro-inspired game from Chaosmonger Studio is live on Kickstarter.

The GOG Preservation Program has expanded once again. After recently adding a re-release of Breath of Fire IV for PC, GOG are now keeping multiple classic Star Wars games up to date.

For anyone hoping to play Delta Force on Desktop Linux, the developer Team Jade has given a pretty clear no. That's despite it working on Steam Deck due to the anti-cheat they've used.

Infinity Nikki has now launched on Steam to suck away more of your time. It works on Steam Deck with Proton but the anti-cheat is blocking it working on Desktop Linux.

One of my all-time favourite game series! The XCOM Complete Humble Bundle is an absolutely fantastic deal filled with some brilliant strategy games.

No, not that one. Donkey Kong Bananza looks as if it could be filled with all sorts of DK (and Mario) lore from across the decades, and now a new video on the Nintendo Today! mobile app may have teased another detail. New footage showing off DK's various facial animations is backed by what appears to be the Rambi theme music, which dates back to the N64 outing Donkey Kong 64. There's been no official announcement about DK's buddy returning in his new outing just yet, but there's mounting evidenc...

Abra, the psi Pokémon from Kanto, can be found in the wild in Pokémon Go. Yes, Abra can be shiny in Pokémon Go! If you already have a shiny Abra (or its evolutions), you may have participated in Abra Community Day in April 2020. The first few evolutions have only a slight difference when shiny,...

Here are the games readers are most excited about. The famous Japanese video game outlet Famitsu regularly releases a list of its readership's "most wanted" games, and in the latest April update, it's added Nintendo Switch 2 exclusives for the first time based on the latest round of votes. In the top 30 "most wanted" games, Mario Kart World was in 12th place, with Donkey Kong Bananza in 23rd spot and Masahiro Sakurai's new game Kirby Air Riders following in 25th place. Taking out the top spot fo...

Dark Souls 2's cut hermit crab proves that FromSoft's love affair with angry crustaceans goes way back.

The return of actor Keith Szarabajka (Erandur in Skyrim, Joshua Graham in New Vegas) for Newblivion was a particular treat for me.

No docking. The Switch 2 is getting a new dock and if you have been wondering whether you'll be able to use your original Switch with it, apparently not. According to a listing on Nintendo's Japanese website (via Nintendo Everything), the original Switch systems can't be used with the Switch 2 docking station. This includes the Switch, Switch Lite and Switch OLED devices.

Available for $249.99. As we've discovered in recent weeks, multiple third-party Switch 2 games will be sold as "Game-Key Cards". Nintendo explains on its website how these cards are "different" from regular physical game cards as they don't contain the full game and act as a 'key' to download the game onto your system via the internet.

Dune: Awakening's building interface is a bit clunky, too.

"I’m sure eBay will be very happy hearing about this". The Nintendo Switch 2 may be on the horizon, but millions of original Switch consoles remain in active use—and that means there's still demand for accessories such as the Joy-Con Charging Grip. Sadly, picking up one of these accessories comes with some serious risks; examples of counterfeit grips have been reported online. Along with the obvious potential dangers that fake and unregulated electronics bring with them, it would seem that these...

On April 28, 2003, Apple introduced the iTunes Store, its iconic digital marketplace for downloading music. 22 years later, most of us don't purchase songs and albums individually anymore, and the iTunes Store doesn't exist as it once did, but played a major role in Apple history. Early Years When it launched, the iTunes Store was only for the Mac, but it expanded to Windows PCs before the end of 2003. It was a one-stop shop for music that could be loaded onto an iPod, and Apple CEO Steve Jobs i...

OG Oblivion: Eight stacks of Skooma zoomies (Skoomies). Oblivion Remastered: 22.

Developer Larian Studios has officially bid a fond farewell to Baldur's Gate 3 following April's massive Update 8 patch, and with the team now focusing on the future, company boss Swen Vincke has shared a little more on why it ultimately decided against releasing a paid DLC expansion for the acclaimed RPG, calling it the "boring" option.

Wholesome Direct, an annual showcase of cute and cozy games, is returning on Saturday, June 7 at 12PM ET / 9AM PT.

While there’s still a huge appetite for competitive PvP shooters, we’re really in a golden age of co-op PvE experiences. Already you can play the likes of Helldivers 2, Space Marine 2, and Deep Rock Galactic, and the likes of Killing Floor 3 and FBC Firebreak will soon join the party.
