Epic Games Store general manager Steve Allison says the new batch of gift-with-purchase Fortnite collabs are inspired by Team Fortress 2.Epic Games has previously offered goodies in Fortnite with the purchase of games on its store – most notably, in 2023, those who purchased Alan Wake 2 on the Epic Games Store received the man himself in Fortnite. However, Epic’s gifting efforts seem to be ramping up in 2026, and players can already anticipate a Resident Evil: Requiem collaboration (giving players a Grace Ashcroft skin) and a Crimson Desert collaboration (giving players a Kliff skin).Posting about the Kliff skin on…
It may be nostalgia talking, but I’ve a real soft spot for visuals inspired by the original PlayStation, when developers were just learning how to harness 3D. Vital Shell is a mecha love letter to those halcyon days, pitting you against swarms of enemies in your oversized (yet very cute) robot suit, and it’s making real waves on Steam.The game’s setup is simple: once you pick your mech, you drop into an area and start blasting through everything that gets in your way. Gradually, you come face to face with the boss, whom you’ve to out-maneuver and take down.It’s quick…
Stop us if you’ve heard this one before. After assuring that he was content with the torch being passed to a new generation of creatives bringing a different Spider-Man to the screen, director of the Tobey Maguire-led trilogy, Sam Raimi, appears to have had a change of heart.During an interview with the Associated Press about his new film, Send Help, Raimi was asked whether there really was no chance of him returning to give the wall-crawling menace he brought to the screen a fourth attempt. The only concern for Raimi, however, is how that could affect another webhead on the…
Plenty of indie games riffing on Paper Mario’s craftsy style and turn-based, timing-sensitive combat have come out in the last few years, but Escape from Ever After is a rare one that seems to have landed on what made the Nintendo series so great.The paper cutout-styled RPG launched earlier this month, on January 23, to stellar Steam reviews. At the time of writing, Escape from Ever After’s Steam rating sits at a comfy ‘Very Positive’ rating with 97% of all user reviews giving it a recommend.”Best Paper Mario since Thousand Year Door, easily stands alongside Bug Fables as one of…
Crafting a world that begs to be explored is a tricky thing to do, especially when the world is kind of sucky, doubly so when it’s woven mostly through words with only supplementary imagery to provide a broader context. Yet Citizen Sleeper’s is one I’m often thinking about because amongst all the grand sci-fi concepts is a grounded sense of reality that you’ll always find in the best of the cyberpunk genre. And here I am, a year on from the second game’s release, tempted to return once more, but this time in a form based on its tabletop…

Since then, the 37-year-old hasn’t participated in any UFC events, so the rematch marks his return to the spotlight.

There are not enough games in the world where it feels like the initial concept was born from the thought, “wouldn’t it be funny if…” I’m no fool, I know this is because developing a video game is akin to getting hit by a car, miraculously coming away from it unscathed, only to be hit by six more cars as you continue your journey. In any case, this is still how I would like to imagine Trust Me, I Nailed It was born, a turn-based strategy game where you have to make cool video edits of some warrior to…
Skyrim’s lead designer and former Bethesda veteran Bruce Nesmith has chimed in on what he wants to see from Mass Effect 5 (or whatever name the next Mass Effect game ends up with) and – surprise, surprise – he thinks BioWare could do well by ripping a few pages out of the Bethesda playbook.”I would hope that they would try to just take their lore and make a modern game of it,” Nesmith says in an interview with Press Box PR. “One of the knocks on Mass Effect that I would have is that they always felt like they were…

Superhero workplace dramedy Dispatch, from the former TellTale developers at Adhoc Studios, has caught flack for launching on Switch and Switch 2 with mandatory censorship not present in other versions of the adventure game. But the devs have now responded, claiming that they’re looking to address some of the censorship with Nintendo’s help and they too thought they would’ve been able to get away with what CD Projekt Red has.While some early buyers have been getting refunds on the port, Adhoc explained that it’s been so quiet since launch “because we’ve been trying to make sure we’re being good partners…
