Ver.1.03.03 is releasing soon. Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly for the Switch 2 will be getting its second update at some point in the near future. On the official game page, Koei Tecmo has announced the second update Version 1.0.3.03 will be "released soon" for Nintendo's new hybrid platform. This follows Version 1.03.02 earlier this month, which contained all sorts of adjustments.

"It wasn't this '90s cyberpunk Johnny Mnemonic cheese fest that everybody reveled in at that time."

"Thank you for playing". Bethesda's free-to-play mobile title The Elder Scrolls: Blades will be shutting down later this year across all platforms including the Switch eShop.

Some bugs have been fixed too.

Video games, or more so the people who play them, I suppose, have this annoying thing where they assign a genre name as an insult. I don't want to reignite the discourse around JRPG as a term, but it certainly was used in quite a derisive and othering manner in its earlier years. The term walking sim was used more as a point of ironic degradation, even though it was perfectly apt in many ways. Then there's Eurojank, a sort of real but not technically real genre that describes ambitious but imper...

By sickos, for sickos.

The mystery of what you should price your game is one that I am sure will continue to remain mostly unsolved. There's just no right answer, and to make matters worse, there's currencies other than your own to consider. On Steam there have been plenty of occasions where regional pricing differences haven't gone down well, primarily due to games costing too much based on local wages. However, a new Steam update should now make it easier for devs to set better regional prices.

"Hopefully people are just [going to say] 'a great game is a great game,' and look at it from that perspective."

A new trailer has given us our best look yet at the upcoming The Ghost in the Shell anime. While it might not tell us all that much about the direction the show will go in plot-wise, it sure is aesthetically pleasing, with a throwback art style that looks a lot more like the original manga than we've seen with other adaptations. The series will be released on Prime Video this July.  The Ghost in the Shell is being produced by Science Saru. The studio hasn't revealed much about its story, only no...

It sounds like Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 developer Warhorse Studios' future projects won't be translated entirely by human hands. Earlier today, a Reddit post was shared to the game's subreddit from Max Hejtmánek, a Czech to English translator and editor on the developer's most recent game, where he claimed that yesterday, March 27th, he was laid off "in favour of using AI for all translations going forward."

Prolific former Valve writer, Chet Faliszek, has hit out at Epic Games founder Tim Sweeney, asking why anyone at Epic "should work hard" when staff have no agency and "the recent 1,000 job cuts didn't come because of shareholder pressure".

Another highly-anticipated RPG has been spotted with its hands in the generative AI jar.

Austria is the latest country to prepare a social media ban for its children, but it's going even further than others by including anyone under 14. In a press release, the Austrian government said it has introduced a comprehensive catalogue of measures meant to shield minors from the harms of social media. According to the press release, an official bill will be introduced by the end of June. Andreas Babler, a vice chancellor and leader of the Social Democratic Party of Austria, said the governm...

Them's fighting words.

A translator who worked on Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 claims Warhorse Studios will use AI for translations going forward

The problem with playtesting is that it is impossible to predict every last thing any given person may do once a game is out in the wild. It's an imperfect science where you do the best you can in the moment. I imagine a live service game like Arc Raiders to be extra difficult, given how many playstyles need to be accounted for. And based on a recent interview, it sounds like some of the team at Embark took an approach that involved a randomiser determining their own playstyle from day to day to...

In America, a court has determined that Meta and YouTube knowingly created an addictive product, which ended up harming a user, and in the UK, a new social media ban is being considered. VPNs are starting to look more appealing by the second.

Imagine a world with ever-so-slightly fewer cyberpunk games. Welcome to 2012.

President Donald Trump may have a tendency to put his name on everything, but his administration decided to go with the more authoritative The White House App for his latest pursuit. Now available on the App Store and Google Play store, the official White House App claims to gives Americans "a direct line to the White House." From the press release, the app provides "unfiltered, real-time upgrades straight from the source." In more practical terms, the White House App is a one-stop shop for offi...

In the end, it never made it to PC.

Ivy Road, the studio formed by talent behind games like The Stanley Parable, Gone Home, and Minecraft, is closing down.

Is it a slap on the wrist if you can't feel it?

A former developer at Warhorse Studios alleges he was fired from his translator role yesterday and will be replaced by AI.

Wanderstop's developer is shutting down, showing that even indie studios are harshly impacted by the video game industry's current problems.

Fullmetal Alchemist's creator ushers us into a world brimming with supernatural intrigue.

How many bugs is too many?

It's been a little over a year since the release of Wanderstop, the debut game of Ivy Road, itself a studio made up of Stanley Parable, Gone Home, and Minecraft talent. Since then, the developer has been trying to find funding for its next game, Engine Angel, but in January announced that this had been unsuccessful, with layoffs taking place as a result. Now, the studio has announced that it is, unfortunately, shutting down.

Two new models of Meta Ray-Ban AI glasses are on the way, and they're going to be catered towards those who use prescription lenses, according to a Bloomberg report. While these are supposed to be announced next week, Bloomberg noted that these won't be a "new generation" of Meta's smart glasses. You can already add prescription lenses to Meta Ray-Ban's AI glasses, but the upcoming models will come in rectangular and rounded styles and will be sold through traditional prescription eyewear channe...

Borderlands 4 Story Pack 1, Mad Ellie and the Vault of the Damned, comes alongside new Vault Hunter C4SH, but its asking price is too high.

From a mobster to a big-game hunter, Bob Odenkirk's Mr. Show characters prove he's played even bigger badasses than Hutch "Nobody" Mansell.

The first crewed mission of NASA's Artemis moon program may take off in a matter of days, with a launch window that opens on April 1, and as preparations are underway for that, the space agency is refocusing its plan to establish a human presence on the moon. NASA announced major changes to its approach for moon landings that are expected to play out over the coming years, including axing its plan to build an orbiting station called Gateway. Read on to learn more about the agency’s new vision fo...

Hey baby, I think I want to carry you. A lot of arcade controllers tend to lean more towards function over form, sacrificing attractive aesthetics for something that simply works as intended. But what if you could have both? That’s exactly what accessory manufacturer Brook has attempted to do with its Fighter Starburst, a leverless controller that’s as nice to look at as it is to use. It’s got a pretty hefty price tag to boot, but if you’re after something that looks and feels premium, then this...
