There's been some concern surrounding dark fantasy vampire role-playing game The Blood of Dawnwalker and how AI tools were used during its development. Rebel Wolves studio co-founder Konrad Tomsazkiewicz, known for having directed The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, previously said gen-AI tools were used during development, but to test dialogue before it was finalised and actors were employed to record it. You might remember that I talked with Tomaszkiewicz about... Read more ›

What struck me most about the 90-minute presentation of The Blood of Dawnwalker I watched recently, at developer Rebel Wolves' studio in Poland, is how confident this dark fantasy role-playing game is. That's despite being a debut, and amplified by how boldly it embraces difference - and how sophisticated it is in its approach. Read more Read more ›

Following last week's flurry of Xbox news - which included word that new Xbox boss Asha Sharma hasn't yet ruled out the return of exclusive games - Sharma has been discussing the ongoing RAM crisis, acknowledging that memory shortages could lead to a price bump and limited stock where its next-gen console, Project Helix, is concerned.

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 ›

Look, let's be honest, Square Enix is a hard company to get behind right now. Between layoffs, peculiar restructuring plans, and a penchant for chasing the hottest controversial flavour of the month, there are many reasons to be sceptical of one of Japan's biggest publishers in 2026. But, for all the dubious business moves and articles about NFTs, there exists a publisher that looks like the Square Enix we remember... Read more ›

Perhaps the greatest compliment I can give Valve's new Steam Controller is that in the week or so I've been using it, I haven't really thought about it much at all. With its heavily Steam-Deck-inspired design, it improves on the original Steam Controller in almost every way - and it's certainly vastly more convincing as an everyday controller - but the things it does best are specific enough that, even...

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.
