While Blizzard had to rewrite World of Warcraft's engine to add housing to Midnight, your Xal’atath feet shrines make it worth it.

Elon Musk says SpaceX has shifted its near-term priorities from Mars settlement plans to building what he called a “self-growing city on the Moon,” arguing the lunar target is faster and more achievable. In a post on X, Musk claims the company could complete this in less than 10 years, while doing the same on Mars would take over 20 years. This marks a major shift for the aerospace company, as Musk points out that the logistics of first completing a proof of concept on the moon are easier with r...

A demo of Sad Cat Studios' cyberpunk platformer Replaced has been announced.

Hey PlayStation Blog readers, ever hear the story of the FBI Space-Time Police Special Agent Romeo, who takes down space-time criminals in search of his lost girlfriend? No? Well, you’ll be able to find out when Romeo is a Dead Man launches on February 11!  We’ve uploaded one final trailer for you all today featuring...

Sad Cat Studios' long-awaited debut feels more post-apocalyptic, with the gameplay failing to live up to its stylish art and music

Discord is the latest company looking to bolster its child safety (again). Starting in March, all users will have a "teen-appropriate experience" by default. Unlocking adult content and age-gated spaces will require a (usually one-time) verification process. The platform's big safety update encompasses communication settings, restricted access to age-gated spaces and content filtering. Users who aren't verified as adults will see blurred sensitive content. In addition, age-restricted channels, s...

The post Interview: An Inside Look Behind the Chaos of Romeo is A Dead Man appeared first on Xbox Wire.

Oh my goodness, there are so many things I want to tell you about Replaced. I want to tell you about its side-scrolling action, I want to tell you about its cyberpunk landscapes, I want to tell you about its flying cars and the corrupt corporation leading this dystopian world. But, you all know - at least on a surface level - about that already. It's in the trailers, and I can say from playing the first few hours, it's all in the game as well. And, it's great, as I have hoped it would be ever si...

Hail to the King, baby!

Sony will hold a State of Play stream on Feb. 12 that will cover first- and third-party games and last for an hour. Here's how to watch.

It's been a while since the last State of Play, which gave us our first proper look at Insomniac's brutal Wolverine game and started to nail down the final details on Saros, the new sci-fi roguelite from Housemarque. Now, we finally know when the next big stream from Sony is happening.

Sony has announced a new State of Play presentation for this week, and it'll be brimming with new announcements from first-party and third-party studios alike.

Apple's next-generation AirPods Pro will feature cameras to see around a user, according to the leaker and prototype collector known as "Kosutami." In a new post on X, Kosutami said that the next AirPods Pro will be able to see around the wearer, presumably via cameras in each earbud. Supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said that the 2026 AirPods Pro will feature a "more significant" hardware upgrade in the form at least one tiny infrared camera. He previously said AirPods with infrared cameras co...

In 2021, Ferrari and its parent company Exor announced a multi-year creative partnership with LoveFrom, the design firm co-founded by Apple's former design chief Jony Ive and fellow designer Marc Newson. Now, in an event held at the Transamerica Pyramid, not far from LoveFrom's studio in San Francisco, Ferrari has shared the first results of that collab by unveiling the interior and interface of its first fully electric car, named "Luce" (Italian for "light"). In a writeup over at PRNDL, automot...

Last year I covered the demo for Void War, robotically describing it as FTL meets Warhammer 40,000, because that is what it is, and sometimes, you have to call a Spade Marine a Spade Marine (I did enjoy the demo, as flagrantly combinatory as the game may be).

Tune in live this Thursday for 60+ minutes of news, gameplay updates, and announcements from game studios across the globe. February’s State of Play will spotlight eye-catching third-party and indie games headed to PS5, along with the latest from teams at PlayStation Studios. State of Play broadcasts live February 12 at 2pm PT / 5pm...

Keza MacDonald's new book Super Nintendo explores how Eiji Aonuma and Hidemaro Fujibayashi brought the series into its most ambitious era yet

Since Apple finally put its mysterious and long-suffering Project Titan out to pasture, we've wondered what a Jony Ive-designed Apple Car might have looked like. Today, we might have a clue. This, though, is no Apple Car. It's the Ferrari Luce ("light" in Italian), the actual name for the EV formerly known as Elettrica, and I'm fresh from getting a walkthrough of the thing from Sir Ive himself. At a glance things look like you might have expected, but there are a few surprises here. While Ferrar...

The KDE developers are working towards the first Beta release of KDE Linux, their own home-grown immutable operating system

Today, in news no one could've predicted: Toyota has been quietly working on a game engine of its own, but the end goal isn't what you'd expect.

I can't point to a single thing New Vegas's protagonist actually did.

It's the first Strix Halo handheld with an internal battery (and it's got a huge one at that).

Sources from different countries and different companies suggest this is happening, and y'know what, I don't doubt it.

Anyone can cook.

The EU could take "interim measures" against WhatsApp as it investigates AI providers' access to the app. On Monday, the EU's regulatory arm announced its "preliminary view" that Meta, WhatsApp's parent company, violated antitrust laws by blocking third-party AI assistants from operating on WhatsApp.  The European Commission's is concerned that Meta's actions will limit competitors from entering the AI assistant market. "We must protect effective competition in this vibrant field, which means we...

Ho-oh my. TIME Magazine is getting in on Pokémon's 30th anniversary with a trio of Special Edition covers. Available now via Amazon (US), the 96-page mag is available in three unique flavours, offering up covers featuring Luigi and Ho-Oh, Mega Charizard, and Rayquaza. We have to admit, it's quite interesting that none of them showcase any Pokémon from Red and Blue, but then we have to remind ourselves that it's a celebration of the entire media franchise, not just the original games.

Linus Torvalds announced Linux kernel 6.19 is officially out now and then next is planned to be the big 7.0 release

Late last year, horror game Horses was denied a release on Steam and the Epic Games Store. Both Valve and Epic judged that Santa Ragione's surreal work violated their rules regarding adult content, while the studio have asserted the the game "uses challenging, unconventional material to encourage discussion" rather than sexually titillate. Now, an interview given by one of the Epic Store's executives has reignited the war of words between the storefront and Santa Rangione, with the latter accusi...

Happy this week all! Peeling back the curtains, I discern traces of blue advancing through sallow clouds, a hint of stray sunshine gracing the soggy leaves in the drive. All signs point to the onset of spring, but I will not be fooled. This is a classic Maw stratagem to waylay vitamin D deficient news editors. The creature is trying to tempt me into the open so that it can shower me in digestive juices (what you in the normal world are pleased to call “rain”).
