The organisers of Australian independent games showcase Parallels have rejected accusations of "prejudice" and say they've received "violent threats", after a Jewish developer had her sponsorship of the event refunded. The developer in question is Wren Brier, creative director…

Following EA's decision to shut down BioWare , the game that would've been the fifth entry in the Mass Effect series is being dumped out of an airlock, never to become a finished article that'll reach players hands as its creators envisioned. The larger tragedy is, of course,…

A beefy new Cyberpunk 2077 update arrives tomorrow, October 22nd, fresh on the heels of the second series of the Cyberpunk Edgerunners anime which dropped earlier this week. It's dubbed update 2.5 and delivers an Edgerunners 2-themed quest alongside a heap of other additions.…

You know when you follow someone into the elevator and when they turn around to face the doors, you choose to stand still and instead meet their eyes? No, of course you don't. Everyone knows that when you're in a lift you don't under any circumstances face other people in the…
One of the most memorable demos I played at Gamescom Latam 2026 was that of Talaka , a watercoloured 2D action-roguelike that - like many games at the São Paulo-based show – leaned deeply into Brazilian culture and mythology. In this case, it's something of a side-scrolling…
Who doesn't love a big swing, a bold new direction, especially when so many video game publishers seem increasingly determined to walk the safest route? While Stranger Than Heaven might look familiar at first glance - particularly if you're a fan of Like a Dragon developer RGG's…
Infinity Ward opened up early access to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4's DMZ extraction mode overnight , meaning anyone who has pre-ordered a copy can now play the game's campaign as well as DMZ. And while early reactions to DMZ are fairly positive, there's one issue in…
Over the weekend, Swedish reports revealed that Samson studio Liquid Swords have gone bankrupt less than a year after releasing their debut crimebrawler. Founder and former Just Cause lead Christofer Sundberg subsequently confirmed that Liquid Swords are headed for closure.…
Right, let's get one important thing out of the way first: I've played a fair bit more of Dawn of War 4 's main campaign, after my initial impressions of a single mission last year , and I think it is very good . The action is as screen-filling as ever, the Orks are a delight,…
I may have set my expectations for Dawn of War 4 too high, but it's a series that, to my mind, never retreads the same ground. It's therefore been disappointing to feel, having played it across two its campaigns that this long-awaited sequel may have taken too few risks - or…
Prominent capital-p Political game developer and left-wing academic Paolo "Molleindustria" Pedercini has revealed that he used generative AI tools for aspects of recent ecosocialist satire Future? No Thanks! . According to Pedercini, "a tiny fraction of its code was written with…
I, for my sins, enjoy parry mechanics. I use 'parry slop' lovingly as a shorthand to refer to action games I want to play which feature parrying as a predominant mechanic. I am also a Call of Duty campaign enjoyer, and those games rarely feature any melee combat, let alone…
Microsoft has revealed the second batch of games coming to Xbox Game Pass this month, and there are few genuine corkers, including the console debuts of The Séance of Blake Manor and Mouthwashing , and the addition of Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade - which only arrived on…
Subnautica 2 has begun its "voyage to Early Access 2.0", developer Unknown Worlds has said, with the revelation of a new update containing the "scariest" region they've ever made for the underwater game. Delightful. Read more
Physical disc-based copies of Resident Evil: Requiem on PlayStation consoles may have been more popular than all versions of the game on Xbox, a new report has found, while unearthing a trove of other statistics about physical sales. Read more
Bracingly moist open world survival game Subnautica 2 is embarking on the "voyage to early access 2.0" - this being developer Unknown Worlds' excitable term for the next round of updates, which will include a new region, creature, and Tadpole chassis, plus some tweaks for…
And lo, mushrooms! This is what I imagine an old timey tour guide might say while on a hiking trail, but we aren't on one of those, so get that wonderful fungi image out of your brain. No, today is the day that Mycopunk has arrived into 1.0, an online co-op looter shooter about…
How's your autumn going? Mine's fine so far, I've switched back to hot beverages, as much as every cell in my being screams to ask for ice. But I reckon that sounds better than the autumn Mortal Shell 2 is having, given the name of the Soulslike's next seasonal update: Rotten…
A former long-time Call of Duty developer has called out Activision executives profiteering from the re-release of games like Black Ops 1 and 2, whereas the developers who contributed "blood, sweat, and tears" to make them gained nothing. Read more
Despite being a lover of the King of the Monsters, I was unfortunately too young to experience Pipeworks Software's Godzilla trilogy of 3D kaiju-fighters back its PS2/Gamecube-era heyday (there was a PS2 in the house as a young child, but I also had no agency to ask for games or…
Star Wars: Galactic Racer has been fucking everywhere recently, seemingly both due to its actual quality as a game and also due to vast swathes of people falling in love with little mole guy Biddy Blas . The success of Fuse Games' Galactic Racer follows on from the similarly…
I'm strongly of the opinion that loot boxes , gacha mechanics and whatever other form of gambling remains present in games is a scourge that ought to be wiped out. Absolutely no game is better for having gacha mechanics in it, only worse. The normalisation of gambling through…
Helldivers will be switching up its anti-cheat, as developer Arrowhead Game Studios has admitted that its Gameguard cheat policy "wasn't as effective as it could have been." Read more
One of my very favourite things to do in Switch Sports Resort isn't, technically, a sport at all. I can't get enough of Prop Plane's free-play mode, taking to the skies, and watching Wuhu Island do its thing below. Swing past the art museum or the shopping precinct and you'll…
I think the most memorable bit of brilliance in the otherwise flawed diamond that is Final Fantasy 16 is the way it handles legacy. There are moments where Clive and his recalcitrant band of revolutionaries rage against the way of the world: they burn down cities, depose…
The Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 campaign is currently available in early access , and if you're among the many who pre-ordered a copy in order to play it before launch, you've likely noticed a locked difficulty setting that's harder, even, than Realism. Read more
Umamusume: Pretty Derby has turned out to be one of the most popular games in the world, partly due to being a gacha game and partly due to making pretty girls out of very real Japanese racehorses (which introduces a unique mourning when the real horse passes away and the anime…
PEGI, the European video game age rating agency, has started raising the age ratings of digital games that feature loot boxes to 16. The rollout of this new, stricter approach, is expected to occur throughout October. Read more
UPDATE 21ST OCTOBER: This update has now been detailed by CD Projekt Red, and it's a big one , bringing dual-wielding, customisable cyberware, cross-platform mod support and more. Read more
Red Dead Redemption 2's infamous animated horse testicles , which are realistic enough to contract in cold weather and expand again in the warmth, were apparently not a feature mandated by Rockstar. As iconic as they've become - a symbol of extraordinary detail in the game -…
Following its 1.0 release last July, Half Life-esque sci-fi survival game Abiotic Factor has been having a pretty good run of post-early access updates. That run of is set to continue through to 2027, as developers Deep Field have announced the game's year two roadmap including…

Bungie surprised players last month by announcing its intention to bring back Destiny 2 campaigns and other additions taken out of the game over the years. When that 'unvaulting' plan was initially announced, Bungie didn't share any specifics, nor a timeline as to when we can…
You might remember 2021's Umurangi Generation , developed by Māori studio Origame Digital. It placed its focus on its first-person photography system as much as its very direct anti-colonial and anti-neoliberal criticism, stemming partly from the Australian government's…
Helldivers 2 , a game that still appears to be missing in action from Steam here in the UK, is switching anti-cheat software. Developers Arrowhead are keen to tighten up security and crack down on the use of cheat mods that can influence the bug-slaying experience of folks…
The developers of Umamusume: Pretty Derby have announced a sudden cancellation of an upcoming LA concert, laying the blame on an inability to receive the proper visas despite exploring "every possible option". Read more
