If Arc Raiders showed the world what an extraction shooter is, Marathon demonstrates, in unambiguous fashion, what extractions shooters are about. Whatever anomalous conditions coalesced to make Embark's game so oddly affable (at least in solos), they are entirely absent among the abandoned megastructures of Tau Ceti IV. The phrase "Don't shoot!" would have any seasoned Shell runner cackling in your face, were it not for the fact that those... Read more ›

Fortnite maker Epic Games has had a rough start to the year, with Fortnite's players dropping noticeably, and now over 1,000 jobs being cut as a result. Now, there's talk of entertainment giant Disney looking to buy the company. Read more Read more ›

There may be a glimmer of hope for the ongoing video game industry payment processor crisis, which has thrown the livelihoods of creatives worldwide into question. This potential rescue is coming from an interesting place too. Not untraceable crypto currency, nor EU legislation, but a strong warning by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Read more Read more ›

I don't know about you, dear reader, but much like Eurogamer's Matt Wales, I can't stop playing Pokémon Pokopia. It's my favourite Nintendo first-party release in a bit, and its breadth and depth is simply astounding. Now, following its financial success, post-launch plans are beginning to ramp up, and the first big collaboration is with... IKEA. Read more Read more ›

Famous leaker Nate the Hate (who has a pretty solid track record) has been making waves for the past few days after supposedly revealing much of Nintendo's big plans for 2026 and early 2027, but his latest podcast episode had one more interesting update worth examining - and it's about the current status of the long-awaited Final Fantasy 9 remake.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie finally arrives tomorrow, 1st April, and box office tracking is already looking out of this world. With a five-day weekend ahead of it across the US, Canada, and other international territories enjoying Easter holidays this week, it was easy to see it as the go-to family movie of the early spring season - and fresh data suggests it could be bigger than many expected.

I currently spend more of my time playing games on my PlayStation Portal than I do on my actual PlayStation 5. I'm sure that wasn't Sony's end goal with the mighty little peripheral, but either way, the powers that be are keeping me nestled nicely inside their little ecosystem. I've taken the Portal to other partners' houses, I've played it on the bus, I often kick back and play some... Read more ›

It's safe to say Crimson Desert is a success with 3 million copies sold (so far) and substantial patches coming in hot. But it's hard to fix a narrative and quest structure that was described as "fatally undercooked" by Lewis Gordon in Eurogamer's own review. Now, we've learned the voice behind "stoic" protagonist Kliff, Alec Newman (Cyberpunk 2077), was as confused by its nature as many players. Read more Read more ›

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie opens this week, so that means most of its all-star cast is on the marketing trail and talking to the press. One would expect chatter to be limited to the next big Nintendo adaptation, but things tend to go off the rails, especially if Jack Black is involved... Read more Read more ›

It's not an exaggeration to say Undertale is one of the most influential indie games ever made, and last year's Deltarune quickly became a huge success for developer Toby Fox, too. There's one small problem that's slowly become bigger than anyone anticipated, though: to this date, both RPGs are still missing localization beyond Japanese. Read more Read more ›

After a frustrating drought of native Nintendo Switch 2 ports (with some special exceptions) during the console's first six months, reportedly due to the lack of development kits going out to developers, more studios have begun to release their darlings on the hybrid console recently. It came as no surprise, then, to hear the charming and well-crafted Kena: Bridge of Spirits was making the jump to Switch 2 on 26th... Read more ›
