Guild Wars - that series of popular massively-multiplayer online role-playing games - is named after three legendary in-universe battles, which are foundational to its story. However, two games in and 20 years later, we've still never actually seen one of these battles ourselves. And that doesn't look to be changing with Guild Wars 3. Read more Read more ›

Wuxia-inspired action game Phantom Blade Zero is arguably one of the most anticipated games of 2026, but no game is as anticipated as Grand Theft Auto 6, as the many calendar shuffles to avoid November have shown. So it was particularly surprising to see Phantom Blade Zero given a release date during June's State of Play showcase that moved it closer to Rockstar's game than most are willing to get....

Few games have a history as turbulent as that of 1666: Amsterdam. This is the project Patrice Désilets - the founding director of the Assassin's Creed series - fought Ubisoft for. It was the project that was in development there in some form 13 years ago, until Ubisoft decided to shelve 1666 - as it was known then - and suspend Désilets, prompting a legal battle that he eventually won...

It didn't much of this year's Summer Game Fest to realise that, in racing to escape the orbit of GTA 6, the games industry has created a new problem: a September 2026 so packed with releases that it's going to take some dedication - not to mention time and money - for players to get through even a fraction of them all. So it was only a matter of time... Read more ›

It's been six years since PlayStation nuked its forums, taking with it one of video gaming's most legendary communities - a team of dedicated secret-hunters convinced Fumito Ueda's Shadow of the Colossus held one last mystery, and who invested almost a decade trying to find it. And now, speaking to Eurogamer following the reveal of his latest game Gen Atlas, Ueda has shared his thoughts on the fascination his acclaimed... Read more ›

I am not a Tomb Raider expert - my memories go about as far back as playing the bulk of the original and its sequel at a friend's house, aged something like seven to 10 years old, and attempting to break free of the same demo disc level for a few too many hours on end. But what I've always taken from my fuzzy recollections of late-90s Lara is that... Read more ›

Hidetaka "Swery" Suehiro's oddball roguelike Hotel Barcelona didn't impress us when it dropped last year, but there was something charming and earnest about it. But months later - and many updates later - Swery and White Owl appear to have turned opinion around. Read more Read more ›

If you saw Resident Evil Veronica's announcement trailer during last week's Summer Game Fest, you might reasonably assume it'll be continuing the modern series' forays into first-person horror. However, Capcom has now confirmed its Code Veronica remake is hewing more closely to the original, and will once again be played from a classic third-person perspective. Read more Read more ›

In all the excitement surrounding the announcement of Capcom's long-awaited Resident Evil Code Veronica remake last week, it was pretty easy to miss the fact its do-over has had a bit of a name change. And if you've been wondering why that might be, the publisher has now explained the reason it's newly monikered Resident Evil Veronica is 'Code Veronica' no more. Read more Read more ›

When Microsoft revealed that Halo: Campaign Evolved last year, I balked at its claim that this would be "a faithful yet modernised remake of Halo: Combat Evolved's campaign". How could it be? It's made in Unreal Engine 5, very few of the original team is left at what is now Halo Studios, and the devs dared to tinker with the controls. I made my views very clear. I even cited...

It wouldn't be a Fable preview if I wasn't at least a little bit wary of encouraging you to get your hopes up. But, forgive me, I'm going to. I've seen a good half hour of continuous gameplay and, although it comes with plenty of caveats, it really was fantastic. Playground Games' Fable reboot looks to be silly, crass, British, beautiful, systemic, and maybe a little overambitious. In other words... Read more ›

This year's Summer Game Fest was packed full of plenty of great reveals, but for my money, Guild Wars 3 was one of the biggest bombshells. There had been whisperings of its existence, a few stray job postings here and there, but to actually see it on the big stage was a huge deal to all lovers of MMOs. Read more Read more ›
