What's that coming over the hill? Rounding out Dragon Quest's 40th anniversary showcase, we got our very first peek at the next entry in the Dragon Quest monsters spin-off series: The Withered World. The teaser was admittedly pretty light on details. We saw a bunch of monsters, two young protagonists and... that's about it. It was all accompanied by a vague "Coming Soon" message, though Yuji Horii noted, "we hope to release before XII".

The next installment of the Dragon Quest series looks far sunnier and brighter than the previous look we had back in 2021

First footage revealed! Yosuke Saito and Yuji Horii from Square Enix have revealed the new title for Dragon Quest XII after confirming that development was completely reset following multiple hurdles. The new title is Dragon Quest XII: Beyond Dreams. As a reminder, the old sub-title was Flames of Fate, with a much darker and oppressive logo.

Blimey, Hello Games sure are building up No Man's Sky into a game that just has a bit of everything aren't they? The Swarm Update has warped in

Giving a little Grace.

Shaken, stirred, who cares? Just properly support all GPUs, please, not just some of them.

Hello, No Man’s Sky turns 10 in August, and we feel very lucky that we still get the chance to work on it every day. What we love about sci-fi, and about No Man’s Sky, is that it can be a canvas for so many ideas. Our last update introduced Pokemon-style pet battling, which players...

No Man’s Sky The Swarm splits players into three factions, with the most proficient hive-busters etching their names in the history books.

Mina the Hollower nails its assignment as a throwback to classic Zelda games, but it's so much more than a nostalgia act.

Even if you're not particularly up on your No Man's Sky lore, you'll likely have at least heard mention of the World of Glass, a kind of archival afterlife linked to the exploratory sci-fi game's ill-fated simulation. And in its latest update, Swarm, something fearsome is breaking through from that other realm - so it's time to band together and fight back.

The Legend of Mina. Since its release in 2014, Shovel Knight has been a gift that keeps on giving. Groundbreaking for its hugely successful crowdfunding campaign, it also helped usher in a glorious era of throwback platforming gems like Sabotage Studio’s The Messenger. Yacht Club Games has spent years expanding the Shovel-verse while developing its next project in parallel. Now that follow-up is finally here, and with Mina the Hollower, the studio is moving beyond Mario-like platforming to explo...

My favourite moment in The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening happens in a library. You're wandering between the stacks, trying to learn more about this strange island you've washed up on, when you spy a book that's hidden up high, stuck at the top of a book shelf, and well out of range of your grasping hands.

The post No Man’s Sky: The Swarm – Unite Against a New Galactic Threat in This Free Update appeared first on XBOX Wire.

It's the Death Star! Well, sort of. It's a big robo-eye invading the galaxy with a swarm of killer drones, as No Man's Sky goes a bit Helldivers 2-ish in its latest update. Dubbed The Swarm, it'll see folks filed away from their not quite Pokemon battles to join three factions who'll need to work together in ship battles to fend off a big Robo-eye with a space station-scorching laser.

Dive back in this September. Sqaure Enix has revealed the debut trailer for DRAGON QUEST XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age - Definitive Edition (holy moly, these Switch 2 titles really are something, huh), launching on 26th September 2026. The game was previously rated earlier this year, so this announcement doesn't come as a massive surprise. The version will come packed with neat new features, including new story chapters, the ability to switch between 3D and 2D modes, and toggles to prioritise v...

After a decade's rest, The Witcher 3 returns with a new expansion called Songs of the Past coming next year for fans of the seminal RPG starring Geralt of Rivia

Long arm on the lawn. Jackbox Games has announced My Arms Are Longer Now for the Switch 1 & 2, developed by Melbourne-based studio Toot Games. Scheduled to release on PC this year, a console launch is currently planned to follow in 2027. Blending absurd comedy with puzzle solving and stealth mechanics, it looks like a cross between the excellent Thank Goodness You're Here and Untitled Goose Game.

And it's beans on toast for lunch again for me.

Eyes up, dungeon delvers! Or down, rather. Some bright spark has remade Looking Glass classic Ultima Underworld: The Stygian Abyss in the Unity engine with new 3D models and sound effects, plus controller support. Ultima Underworld, often cited as the original first-person 3D RPG! Ultima Underworld, also considered a primordial specimen of the immersive sim! Ultima Underworld, which has influenced everything from Bioshock to Tomb Raider! Ultima Underworld, which... some appropriately rousing fou...

A fresh Deadlock update has redesigned its new-look Soul Urn mechanics, after the initial redesign proved too much of a chaotic factor.

While The Witcher 4 is still being made, we're getting an additional chapter for The Witcher 3.

Pokémon Winds and Waves will no doubt be huge when the two games launch on Nintendo Switch 2 in 2027, but Pokémon is thriving regardless of what's going on in the mainline series. Legends: Z-A had a killer debut last year, and you don't need us to remind you Pokopia has been huge, too. It all adds up, and the latest update straight from The Pokémon Company is staggering.

Silver-haired fox of an RPG The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is officially getting a new expansion, ten years after Blood and Wine and over eleven since the base game launch. It’s called Songs of the Past, it’s being co-developed between CD Projekt Red and The Witcher 1 Remake devs Fool’s Theory, and its coming in 2027 – potentially the same trip round t’Sun as The Witcher 4.

Erin Brockovich has launched a new project to give people 'a platform to speak up and voice concerns about AI data centers.'

In it for the long haul?

I think I'll need to start a GoFundMe.

As Rockstar gear up to release GTA 6 (at least on consoles), spare a thought for Red Dead Online. The multiplayer element of Red Dead Redemption 2 had its steady flow of major update-carrying stagecoaches stopped all the way back in 2022, with its makers explicitly citing a desire to shift those development resources over to that next entry in the stealy wheels series. There've been a few moments in the years since when Red Dead Online has looked a bit like it might bounce back to prominence, bu...
