Destruction-focused free-to-play shooter The Finals has seen "lower than expected" performance according to publisher Nexon, contributing to a shortfall in its forecast revenue. The Finals seemed to get off to a strong start when it surprise-launched in December last year - its 5v5 action proving popular enough that its developer, Nexon subsidiary Embark Studios, quickly found itself scrambling to deal with an influx of cheaters. A hacker-themed second season of... Read more ›

The first thing you'll likely notice about Dread Delusion is that it's hideous, albeit artfully so; a queasy nightmare of blocky textures and shimmering, lurching geometry that builds its world around the low-poly constraints of 90s and early 2000s gaming - Bethesda's Morrowind being an obvious touchstone - to woozily disorientating effect. Its oppressive sky is the colour of a bruise, its grass the colour vomit, and its assorted flora,... Read more ›

Bethesda is known for its glitchy releases. In fact, in the run up to Amazon's TV adaptation of Fallout, showrunner Graham Wagner even reminisced about a bug he came across while playing The Elder Scrolls 2: Daggerfall, stating that adding 'glitches' into a then-hypothetical second season of the show was "definitely on [his] mind as a concept".But, even the studio's less recent-releases are still faced with the age-old Bethesda bug...

The games industry is in a worrying state of flux right now. Beloved and storied studios are being shut down left, right and centre; others are having their teams gutted from the inside out. It's hard to know which games and teams will even still be around next month, let alone in a year's time, and it must be daunting in the extreme for new, independent developers trying to make...
