It's been a bit since Bayonetta has had any time in the spotlight. 2022's Bayonetta 3 released to pretty good reception (although did earn ire for its depiction of the witch herself), but all's been quiet on the Umbral front since. With creator Hideki Kamiya having left PlatinumGames in 2023, it seemed even more unlikely for the series to continue. A ray of hope appeared in an unexpected place, though: Stellar Blade. That game's Switch 2 port, due for release next month, will feature four new co...

Microsoft is set to drop OneDrive support for iOS 18 and iPadOS 18, which will remove the cloud storage app's compatibility with several older iPhones and one iPad model. The loss of support for iOS 18 will impact the iPhone XR, iPhone XS, and iPhone XS Max, because these devices can't be updated to iOS 26. Likewise, the seventh-generation iPad will be left behind when Microsoft raises the app's minimum requirement to iPadOS 26. OneDrive 18.12.1 is the final version to support iOS 18 and iPadOS ...

As a first-party Xbox title, Gears of War: E-Day is under pressure to look good and run well on Xbox consoles.

Apple appears to be rolling out a new logo for Apple Music in its upcoming set of software updates. The logo has been spotted in both macOS 27.2 beta 3 and iOS 27.2 beta 3, and it's identical to the one that Apple used in its Apple Music Hall announcement last month. When Apple used the logo in the venue's press materials and on its new official website, it wasn't clear if this was a one-off branding exclusive to the hall. All the evidence now points to it being the company's official new logo f...

The end of the beginning. There was a lot of hype and excitement in the lead-up to 2019's Kingdom Hearts 3. It promised to finally conclude the Dark Seeker Saga that had kicked off way back on the PS2 in 2002. Expectations were sky-high and the final product didn't quite stick the landing, but it did manage to deliver plenty of that sincere Kingdom Hearts magic that kept us invested since the beginning. Now that it's finally come to Switch 2 with a proper native port — no Cloud Versions here — I...

For British people who were actively playing games in the late 80s and/or retro enthusiasts looking back at that period of the industry, the name Dizzy might ring a bell (it doesn’t for me, but what can I tell you, I’m 24). A prolific platformer series starring a bipedal egg, it spanned formats from the ZX Spectrum to the NES and Game Gear, and managed sixteen(!?) releases between 1987 and 1992 - before slowing significantly past the millenium. Still, that hasn’t stopped its creators, the Oliver...

Yesterday we reported that Apple tripled the number of iCloud Mail aliases users can create, from three to nine. But it turns out that's not the only email-related limit Apple has raised. The company has also bumped the number of iCloud Custom Domains users can set up with iCloud+, from three to 10. If you subscribe to iCloud+, you can use a domain name you already own for your iCloud Mail address. So instead of [email protected], your address can be [email protected]. You can also buy a new...

Street Fighter IV, the game that basically revived the fighting game genre back in 2009 and gave birth (not literally) to a new subset of players lovingly referred to as ‘09ers’, saw its final iteration in 2014’s Ultra Street Fighter IV. While it wasn’t the most perfectly balanced game, it’s remembered fondly by its players and is viewed by many as the last vestige of ‘honest Street Fighter’. It’s also burdened with being limited to delay-based netcode rather than the more modern and more stable...

Who doesn't love a good top-down ARPG; a solid dungeon-crawler with visceral action and real punchy combat that sticks in your teeth like toffee? Aside from Diablo and Path of Exile, there aren't as many out there as I'd like. But Tarae: The Unbound, from South Korean studio Boundary and publisher Krafton, might help change that. I had a chance to get my hands on an early version during this year's Gamescom, and while it's far from finished, what I played of it showed real promise.
