Like it or loathe it, you can't argue with the success of Crimson Desert. Per a new report, Pearl Abyss' latest action-RPG has sold so well that the developer and publisher has reportedly given every employee a bonus that equates to about $3,400. Read more Read more ›

Marathon's arrival in March hasn't made much of an impact on Arc Raiders' player numbers, but the player sentiment, at least on Steam, isn't exactly where it was a few months ago. That hasn't substantially altered Embark Studios' early 2026 roadmap, however, which culminates with today's Riven Tides update. Read more Read more ›

Back in 1994, Luc Besson released a movie that not only introduced us to Natalie Portman in her feature film debut, but also - it turns out - inspired the name for one of gaming's most iconic characters: Leon Kennedy. That film was Léon: The Professional, and saw actor Jean Reno in the titular role of a milk-loving hitman who takes 12 year old Mathilda (played by Portman) under his... Read more ›

It's been over nine years since Mass Effect: Andromeda tried to kickstart a new era of BioWare's original sci-fi RPG universe, an experiment that ended with pretty poor results.

There is one death in particular in The Last of Us Part 2 that many are still struggling to come to terms with five years on from the game's release. And, it turns out that this death was not only controversial for those of us in The Last of Us' gaming community. Even many developers internally at Naughty Dog - the studio that made the game - questioned this decision.... Read more ›

Supermassive's "party horror" games, as I like to call them, have become a guilty pleasure of mine. This series famously began with Until Dawn in 2015 and peaked with House of Ashes in 2021, if you ask me. (Although I enjoyed the schlocky Quarry in 2022 as well.) It's a series pitched like an interactive horror movie, where you try to shepherd a group of ill-fated characters through a slasher... Read more ›

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia's Rob Mac and Alien: Earth's Noah Hawley are leading the charge, and the latter has now revealed a bit more about his approach to adapting the beloved video game franchise. Spoiler alert: he's not adapting any one game. Read more Read more ›

Late 2024 gave us the long-awaited news that a sequel to 2014's Alien: Isolation was finally entering development. Developer Creative Assembly and publisher Sega have been quiet since then, with most people assuming the game has been slowly going through the early phases of development before production ramps up in earnest. Yesterday, which was Alien Day 2026, things changed. Read more Read more ›

After three long years of rumours, reports, leaks, a couple of official teases, we finally have confirmation that Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed Black Flag remake is real, under the guise of Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced. But it seems Resynced isn't the only Assassin's Creed remake title in development, at least if you believe the chatter from a couple of reliable leakers. Read more Read more ›

The Bootleg Bazaar in Portofiro is a chimera of ex-Soviet bloc organisms that have nestled together in a robust show of scrappy, second-hand capitalism at its finest. It's an entity I have mostly understood from movies and television and books, and a fairly problematic Russian neighbour in college who enjoyed throwing knives at his closet door for fun (I believe he is now married and owns a paper factory).
