After a period of quiet and a few small updates , Ubisoft has unveiled a massive update coming today to Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced. This is the game's last major patch and it includes some long-requested features. Read more

Layoffs have reportedly hit Sucker Punch, the PlayStation-owned studio behind the Sly Cooper series, Infamous and last year's Ghost of Yotei . Read more
The nights are drawing in, which can only mean one thing: more bed. But also the impending frights and sights of All Hallow's Eve. Yes, the season of good fear is upon us again, summoning visions of cardboard box robot costumes and other, more devilish things. Read more
One of Control and Control Resonant's most memorable stylistic choices is how The Board - an alien entity whose true nature is a mystery, and whose morals and motivations are never made clear - communicates with the player. Read more
Xbox has extended Arkane Lyon's consultation period by around a month, as the search for a new owner continues. If one isn't found, the studio will likely be shut down. Read more
One of the days last week was October 23rd. It's the date in the Fallout universe when the bombs dropped and has morphed into a time for yearly community happenings plus, in Bethesda's case, usually some marketing. Sometimes, modders behind long-running projects time up…
I don't much go for PowerWash Simulator -likes, but there is something appealingly unwholesome about a game in which you have to wipe the dust off an entire moon. Using a toothbrush. True, you can upgrade to beefier hoovering equipment in Moon Sweepers by cashing in shipments of…
Even before Onimusha: Way of the Sword came out, the topic of enemy and encounter difficulty was a contentious one. The pre-launch demo had players divided; Dom found the combat exciting and challenging, likening it to the Nioh series , whereas I thought it was a little too…
I've been tricked. Deep within the fine print of the Health and Safety and Wild Eldritch Creature Control License Edwin convinced me to apply for is a stipulation that I alternate shifts of Maw care with him. I've unwittingly signed up to cleaning the beast's cage out once a…
Grab your nearest forklift operator and make sure they're sitting down. Shenmue 3 : Enhanced Edition has been delayed to 2027 in order to, as publisher Inin Games puts it, "get everything right". Read more
One of my favourite hobbies is digging up older pieces of gaming tech or software know-how and asking myself: "man, what would the world have been like, if every GPU were made out of Gorgonzola?" Or less silly words to that effect. Nostalgia aside, it's useful to revisit…
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 is officially out for all players, and its extraction shooter mode DMZ is looking to be particularly popular. And unsurprisingly, the mode's popularity has brought a longstanding player request back in the spotlight: many DMZ players have been…
I wasn't around to witness the golden age of Martial Arts cinema, but there are moments in Phantom Blade Zero that make me feel as though I've tumbled through a crack in time onto the set of a kung fu film. There's one particular encounter that sticks in my mind. Approaching a…
A petition created to save BioWare's well-loved sci-fi RPG, Mass Effect , has topped 187,000 signatures. Read more
The Call of Duty movie will explore "the cost of war" and probably won't be as graphically violent as director Peter Berg's upcoming Netflix film, The Mosquito Bowl. Read more
A24's live-action Elden Ring movie is reportedly set to cost almost $200 million, making it the most expensive film the studio has ever made. Read more
Last night, I sat down with a greasy pizza and a few bottles of beer and braced myself for 10 episodes of heartbreak. Cyberpunk: Edgerunners' second season is out, and it follows in the footsteps of Studio Trigger's beloved, and tragic, debut . My expectations were way off. Read…
You know, I think at this point in my life there is a non-zero chance I will die before anyone is able to settle comfortably on what defines an immersive sim. I'm not going to even try to! The idea is too annoying and I'm sure someone will disagree with some aspect of it. And if…
PlayStation Asia has reportedly leaked details of an unannounced update coming to Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl , 2.1, next week. Read more
Since launch back in May of this year, life sim Paralives appears to have been trucking along nicely, with the dev team offering up fairly regular updates with all sorts of tweaks big and small. Certainly confidence-inspiring for an early access game, especially one as…
Ah, come on, it was fine. Better than fine. We can argue for another fourteen years about whether BioWare should have redone the ending or not, but Mass Effect 3 was really a compendium of endings, a ludicrously ambitious wrapping-up of dozens of plot threads, character arcs,…
Prime Video's Fallout reality competition, Fallout Shelter : The Experiment, will premiere on 13th January 2027. Read more
After months of umming ahhing over paint colours, covering our living room wall in little swatches of testers, we've finally got exasperated with the entire process selected Cherry Caramel. I would be clearing out the living room to start painting today, but, honestly, after the…
Hello, it is me, your regular weekend host Mertie and I am here once again to guide you gently into Saturday with our usual feature What We've Been Playing, where we write a little about the games we've been, yes, playing. This week, Bertie - before fleeing for a well-deserved…
Legendary Nintendo developer Shigeru Miyamoto - who led development on classic games such as Super Mario 64 and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - has argued that the rise of generative AI tools won't necessarily replace human talent. Read more
A deal between Netflix and Xbox has supposedly fallen through because of one minor quibble: Netflix wanted to adapt the console maker's games for $500m, not $800m. Read more
After getting caught up in Xbox CEO Asha Sharma's devastating layoffs and cuts earlier this year, Arkane Lyon - the beloved immersive sim studio behind the likes of Dishonored and Deathloop - reportedly only has until November to find a buyer. If the search fails, it will be…
In one of the happier endings to occur in games this week, impossibly enormous resource management sim Factorio has just released its last-ever major update – version 2.1 – on its stable branch. As previously heads-upped by developers Wube Software, 2.1 doesn’t make any big new…
Open world ecosatire Future? No Thanks! has been updated to remove some AI-generated voices, after lead developer Paolo "Molleindustria" Pedercini belatedly disclosed his usage of the technology earlier this week. He's also offering to refund people over Paypal or Venmo if they…
After EA's sudden shutdown of developer BioWare , upcoming crossover items themed around Mass Effect appear to have been removed from Battlefield 6 . Read more
Last week, Creative Assembly and Sega pulled Total War: Shogun 2's remastered Complete Edition from Steam , after an avalanche of complaints about technical problems and some AI-generated art. Now, Total War vice president Roger Collum has written a personal apology, while…
Modern Warfare 4's DMZ extraction shooter mode has only been out for two days - and only for those who pre-ordered the game - but already players are up in arms over a particular trait that allows competitors to revive themselves after being killed. Read more
Update: A Microsoft rep has told PC Gamer that the company have "extended the consultation period by one additional month as we explore options, including finding a partner to support [Arkane] through the development work still ahead." "This is a defined extension," they added,…
It's been 19 years since the release of Half-Life 2 : Episode 2, and yet the ceaseless clamour for a Valve game with a number '3' in its title continues. And following a swell of reports suggesting Half-Life 3 isn't just real, its development is well underway, a Valve developer…
Chinese action game Phantom Blade Zero already appears to be outperforming massive games like Gears of War: E-Day and Control Resonant on Steam, despite still being days from release. Read more
Arrowhead Game Studios will only make a Helldivers 3 if it's lightyears apart in style from Helldivers 2 , or if Helldivers 2's playercount falls through the floor. This is my takeaway, at least, from a recent chat with Johan Pilestedt, chief creative officer, in which Pilestedt…
Wake up. There's Half-Life 3 chatter occurring again. This time because, about an hour into a panel about sounds in video games, a Valve composer has uttered three eyebrow-raising letters. HLX. In an industry rife with acronyms, what's so special about this one? Well, it's a…
Breaking up established game development teams in favour of "AAA veteran" start-ups and "magic bean" technologies is like "setting fire to millions of dollars of property and equipment", in the words of Star Trek Online executive producer Thomas Marrone. He thinks it's "wildly…
It was only ever going to be a matter of time, but I'm still surprised just how quickly Cyberpunk 2077 modders have taken pistol dual wielding mechanic the RPG's Edgerunners 2 update has just added in, and opened it up to include any gun Night City has to offer. Yep, twinning…
Virtue and a Sledgehammer looks like a satisfying game. There is perhaps no more wonderfully chunky and impact frame friendly a weapon than the reliable sledgehammer, and when put into a game with a description like, "Most people resort to therapy. But you chose the brave…
Yesterday, only a couple of months after EA went private after having been acquired by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, equity firm Silver Lake, and Jared Kushner's Affinity, it was announced that BioWare are being shut down , with development on their next Mass Effect…
I'm going to park my feelings of unease at the fact that it's somehow already been a year since Dispatch came out, as developer AdHoc Studio have revealed some pretty neat sounding additions to the game to commemorate its first anniversary. Well, if you have the deluxe edition…
Masahiro Sakurai has spoken about the pitfalls of generative AI use in game development, saying that while he believes the technology will result in a surge of unoriginal video games, human creativity - such as that shown by designers like Ico's Fumito Ueda - can't be…
Oof. I expected this day to come but the news has left me winded nonetheless; BioWare, the creator of so many beloved role-playing series and games - Mass Effect , Dragon Age, Baldur's Gate , Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic - has been closed. EA decided it had no place…
Life... is strength. The gears of this world are tuned for a quick death. Doomity-doom-doom! We is all doooooo-oooomed! The Guardian says for me to be cheerful, and to not repeat what he says all the... oh. I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favourite store on the Citadel.…
I just love me a megastructure, I do. I'm not entirely sure why, to be honest. My best guess is that growing up in a major city with concrete pillars looming over me higher into the sky than I care to take notice of, perhaps even threatening me, left me with a sense of awe…
Multiple games - including Final Fantasy 14 and Umamusume: Pretty Derby - have faced outages and other issues following this week's discovery of a serious PHP vulnerability. Read more
19 years after buying Bioware, Electronic Arts have closed the veteran RPG developer . But as saddening as this is, bringing an end to series such as Dragon Age and Mass Effect , EA have never had an easy relationship with the studio. Looking through old interviews with…
Marvel's Wolverine may not have had the best critical reception , but that clearly didn't discourage consumers. The action-adventure from Marvel's Spider-Man studio Insomniac has topped US video game sales in September, despite releasing exactly halfway through the month. Read…
