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 […]

Crucially, the originally-named Bicycle Mod for GTA IV isn’t a daft model swap. Those familiar with […]

I didn’t think it was possible for Doom to become more accessible than it already is. Id Software’s omnipresent FPS is playable on every device imaginable, from pianos to printers to even gut bacteria, while Nightdive released a delicious double-barrelled overhaul of Doom + Doom 2 last year, which exists on top of the fact […]

The days of doubt are past us. Larian Studios is officially that girl, the debutante with a stacked dance card who nary an RPG-liker would commit the social gaffe of insulting in public. With all that adoration comes the freedom to do as you please, and for Larian that’s returning from the megabucks success of […]

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 […]

The Game Awards ended on an odd note last night. Instead of a big, exclamation-point ‘one more thing!’—the prophesied return of Gabe Newell, striding onto center stage with three fingers held high—host Geoff Keighley closed the show with a reveal of a brand new game from an unknown studio: A PvP raid shooter called Highguard.

The announcement that the next RPG from Baldur’s Gate 3 developer Larian is a new title in the Divinity series didn’t come as a huge surprise. We knew Baldur’s Gate 4 wasn’t on the cards, and a few days ago a trademark filing gave it away. Ultimately, this is a world that Larian has spent […]

We had an inkling that Arc Raiders was going to be good when it released, following a massively successful beta, but I don’t think anyone could’ve predicted it’d achieve this kind of success.

It only took 21 years, but finally we’re getting a new Knights of the Old Republic game in Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic. While this title appears to be very early in development, judging by the cinematic trailer revealed at the Game Awards and no mention of a release window, it is quite […]
Read MoreStar Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2 is an unfinished game. Impressively unfinished, really. So unfinished that it doesn’t so much have a final level as it does an idea for one that you just kind of percolate through until you hit credits. I can’t blame Obsidian; the studio had an incredibly short time […]
Read MoreIt is 2019: Larian is announcing its new RPG, Baldur’s Gate 3. The studio releases a short, cinematic teaser with an emphasis on body horror—the ceremorphosis of an unwitting guard rendered in horrible, gory detail.

It’s official, Total War: Warhammer 40k is real, and at some point in the next few years, we’ll be dropping into the Imperium of Man to fight and conquer our way across the stars.

One of the biggest mysteries in Arc Raiders, even preceding its full release, has been how matchmaking works.

Geoff Keighley flytipped a statue in the desert, Larian made some cryptic tweets, there was a brief period where lots of people were saying The Elder Scrolls 6 and Half-Life 3 for some reason, and now it’s all over.
