It no longer matters whether you believe RPGs should have more romance in them or less; the tender bonds between gamer and NPC have broken their containment in worlds virtual. At a recent event held by Sega celebrating the Like a Dragon series’ 20th anniversary, a woman who goes by lala_nyan0617 on X donned a […]

Somewhere between the most saccharine dream and the gaudiest nightmare, there is Eternity Egg, a game that looks a bit like Cruelty Squad vomited on a promotional render for Nights Into Dreams. Taking after ’90s CG imagery like those Bryce 3D renders⁠—you’ll recognize the visuals if not the name⁠—its characters look to be assembled out […]

We got a look at the new face of Tomb Raider at The Game Awards last night. Two of them, in fact: A remake of the original called Legacy of Atlantis and an all-new adventure entitled Tomb Raider: Catalyst. But what about the new voice? That will be provided by Alix Wilton Regan, who will […]

It was a tough Thursday for IO Interactive and ol’ Jimmy B, as the reveal of 007 First Light’s first villain, played by singer Lenny Kravitz, leaked ahead of its intended drop during The Game Awards. Sometimes the contents of these things can’t be contained by YouTube scheduling tools or, in the case of Kravitz’s […]

Control 2, or as it’s now called, Control Resonant, has finally been revealed with a release window—courtesy of a trailer shown during the 2025 Game Awards. After its initial announcement from Remedy in 2022, we’ve been patiently waiting for any sort of update on its development, and it’s finally here. The surprise announcement was spoiled […]

ACE COMBAT 8: WINGS OF THEVE Announcement Trailer – YouTube Watch On Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve was announced at The Game Awards today, and I know at least a couple people who are probably vibrating. If you’re wondering what the heck a “Theve” is, it’s the capital of The Federation of Central Usea […]

CONTROL Resonant – Announcement Trailer | The Game Awards 2025 – YouTube Watch On When it comes to developer Remedy, you should always expect the unexpected.

WARLOCK – Teaser Trailer – YouTube Watch On As revealed in a teaser trailer soundtracked by Tool in The Game Awards, Invoke Studios—one of Wizards of the Coasts’ internal videogame developers—is working on a new Dungeons & Dragons videogame called Warlock. And no, it’s not going to be anything like Baldur’s Gate 3. “We’re making […]

It’s been a long, hard road for Monster Hunter Wilds, but hopefully things will get a little lighter when its free Title Update 4 arrives next week on December 16. In a video published earlier today, Capcom outlined the additions coming in the final major Wilds update, including the returning elder dragon Gogmazios, new weapon […]

An official remaster of the brilliant, groundbreaking immersive sim Deus Ex was announced a few months ago, with a release date of February 5, 2026. But with that date now less than two months away, and fans decidedly unhappy about the whole thing, developer Aspyr has opted for a delay to some unspecified new date. […]

What do Telly Savalas, Christopher Walken, Sean Bean, Yaphet Kotto, Sophie Marceau, Donald Pleasance, and Lenny Kravitz all have in common? They’re all Bond villains—or at least, they will be: A leaked trailer has revealed that Kravitz will be the face, hair, and spectacularly chiselled abs of Bawma, an elusive target a criminal mastermind in […]

As we all should, I salute the modders who devote their time, effort, and attention to bug fixes, quality of life, and general playability. But as pure as those souls are, my favorite kind of modder is less good samaritan and more mad wizard: those who mold a game’s clay into new, terrifying shapes simply […]

Our rundown of what to expect from this year’s edition of The Game Awards includes a brief note about a supposed leak of a trailer for Shenmue 4, shared by a YouTube account with eight (now 12) subscribers. Is it really a leak, or just an elaborate fake? It’s looking like the latter, as Ys […]

There’s already so much to do in Hades 2 that after 100+ hours I haven’t seen it all. (Voice and Vanity is the one prophecy I still need to complete, I’ll get there.) If you, however, have run out of things to do, then here’s some good news: you can replay all of the original […]

The Yakuza series has spawned well over a dozen games since it debuted in 2005, and I haven’t included any of the substantial remasters in that figure. As prolific as Ryu Ga Gotoku is, they’re also remarkably consistent: the same bonkers mix of melodrama and absurd humour is threaded through every one of these games, […]

IO Interactive recently celebrated the 25th anniversary of its flagship series Hitman, which has certainly been on a journey. Agent 47’s beautiful, barcoded bald head has become one of the industry’s icons, with the series’ growth into its own identity truly impressive: from the early days where it was a more traditional 3D action game […]

Our hard drives get bigger, but so do the games. In 2025, we are beset by filesizes run amok. Time was, I’d consider a 30 GB game to be an unfathomable imposition on my C drive. How young and naive I was—as we speak, multiple games north of 100, even 200 GB are manspreading across […]

The departure of Hideo Kojima from Konami saw the publisher react, initially at least, like a spurned lover. There was an ill-advised attempt to remove the creator’s name from certain packaging, followed-up by the even more ill-advised spinoff Metal Gear Survive, before things went quiet and, for years and years, Konami did nothing with the […]

PC Gamer Australian editor Shaun Prescott hates Styx, the diminutive goblin “asshole,” but he quite likes the Styx videogames, and so he was suitably pleased when Cyanide and Nacon announced earlier this year that a third game in the series, Styx: Blades of Greed, was set to arrive later in 2025. But now it’s December, […]
