Apple this week detailed a broad set of improvements to Liquid Glass, the translucent design language it introduced last year, spanning readability, personalization, sidebar behavior, and app icons. Announced at the WWDC 2026 keynote and elaborated on further at the Platforms State of the Union, the changes address feedback that followed last year's rollout by making adjustments to the underlying foundations of how Liquid Glass is constructed. At the core of the updates is a tuning of how the ma...

Apple this week unveiled macOS 27 Golden Gate, and the upcoming software update hints at the rumored "MacBook Ultra" in at least three ways.

Gears of War: E-Day showed off incredibly well during last Sunday's Xbox Games Showcase. The show opened with a meaty first look at gameplay, before we were later treated to a much deeper dive into the upcoming prequel in a dedicated Direct.

You can really tell that Gears of War: E-Day developer, The Coalition, wants the upcoming third-person shooter to be enjoyed by more than just Gears diehards. In last Sunday's developer Direct, the studio recalled the decision to start development from an empty hard drive.

The post Fable: How We Built the Living Population appeared first on XBOX Wire.

"Coming through!". When I first booted up the Switch 2 Edition of Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition, something almost immediately felt very wrong. The visuals, while certainly crisp, were upscaled in a way that meant almost all textures had this sort of blurry, smeary effect, especially environmental details, but also within character faces at certain distances. The issue was greatly exacerbated during movement which, as you'd imagine, happens the vast majority of the time.

It wouldn't be a Fable preview if I wasn't at least a little bit wary of encouraging you to get your hopes up. But, forgive me, I'm going to. I've seen a good half hour of continuous gameplay and, although it comes with plenty of caveats, it really was fantastic. Playground Games' Fable reboot looks to be silly, crass, British, beautiful, systemic, and maybe a little overambitious. In other words it looks like Fable. Indeed few things are more Fable than promising the Moon, after all - 1,000 uni...

In all the excitement surrounding the announcement of Capcom's long-awaited Resident Evil Code Veronica remake last week, it was pretty easy to miss the fact its do-over has had a bit of a name change. And if you've been wondering why that might be, the publisher has now explained the reason it's newly monikered Resident Evil Veronica is 'Code Veronica' no more.

When Microsoft revealed that Halo: Campaign Evolved last year, I balked at its claim that this would be "a faithful yet modernised remake of Halo: Combat Evolved's campaign". How could it be? It's made in Unreal Engine 5, very few of the original team is left at what is now Halo Studios, and the devs dared to tinker with the controls. I made my views very clear. I even cited examples from the very minds that made the original game when Bungie was but a fledgling studio with dreams of grandeur; i...

If you saw Resident Evil Veronica's announcement trailer during last week's Summer Game Fest, you might reasonably assume it'll be continuing the modern series' forays into first-person horror. However, Capcom has now confirmed its Code Veronica remake is hewing more closely to the original, and will once again be played from a classic third-person perspective.

Activision has confirmed that Call of Duty’s Ricochet anti-cheat was recently updated to close a security flaw following community concerns.

Signed and sealed.

But he thinks the team is doing a "good job" moving it further away from BioWare's sci-fi romp.

4K Muramasa? Sold! With such a crammed Nintendo Direct, there was far too much to give every single announcement in the June showcase its own post (check out our round-up for the full rundown). However, we didn't want to skip highlighting this gem that popped up: Vanillaware's Muramasa is returning in the form of Muramasa: Revenant Blades. Scheduled for "Early 2027" on both Switch 1 and 2, this will be an overhaul for Wii's Muramasa: The Demon Blade, a brilliant 2D action RPG from 2009. Or more ...
