Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined is finally here, and I have some sage wisdom for newcomers that I was reminded of thanks to recent comments from producer Takeshi Ichikawa.In a recent Reddit AMA, Ichikawa was asked what his favorite job is from the newly overhauled vocation system, which lets any party member “moonlight” as two vocations at once, and he fell back on a tried-and-true essential: the cleric, or priest as it’s more commonly localized these days.”I’m not particularly skilled at RPGs, so I often put a Cleric in my party,” he said. “With their job traits, they can heal the…
What’s in the Phasmophobia 2026 roadmap? 2025 was far from a quiet year for Phasmophobia. There was a new map, new ghosts, and thrilling seasonal events. Kinetic Games has now revealed its plans for this year, though, and it’s even more chock-full of content than the last. Over five years on from its early access release, Phasmophobia remains one of our favorite horror games on PC. It looks cool, the atmosphere is tense, and the developer has been sure to update tools, mechanics, and more over the years. Among the things that are still desperately awaiting an update, though, is…
Highguard’s first big patch is here, and it seems to be geared mostly toward improving performance, a smart move considering that’s one of the biggest pain points that’s emerged since the controversial shooter’s launch earlier this week.Following a puzzling debut trailer at The Game Awards 2025 that really struggled to distinguish Highguard from the pile of dead live-service shooters rotting behind the curtains – not to mention warrant its position as the show’s big closer – Wildlight’s fairly generic-looking hero shooter launched this week to, you guessed it, pretty bad reviews and lackluster player counts. Naturally, folks have all sorts…
Do you miss the good old days of Diablo, before Blizzard’s hellish clickfest megamorphed into a live service Beezelbub owned and operated by stinky uncle Microsoft? Be upstanding, perhaps, for Darkhaven – a new action RPG from a studio founded by a trio of Diablo 1 and Diablo 2 veterans, who have some questionable notions about weaponising volcanos. Said veterans are Diablo 2 lead character artist Philip Shenk, Diablo 2 programmer/designer/lead Peter Hu, and the original Diablo’s senior designer, art director, and story writer Erich Schaefer. So, actual veterans then, rather than people who sneezed in the presence of some…
Europa Universalis 5 update 1.1 is looking increasingly stacked, and yet Paradox Tinto keeps putting more onto the pile. UI and menu improvements, the return of EU4’s army builder, overhauls to AI aggression and the economic system – you name it, the developer is taking a look at it. But what about actual, tangible additions? Fear not, because content design lead Álvaro J Sanz Martín, known best as ‘Pavia,’ is here to walk us through the new inclusions and adjustments we can expect. In case its ‘Rossbach’ moniker didn’t give it away, a big part of the new Europa Universalis…
The spirit of Garry’s Mod continues to live on – and not just from, y’know, all the people still playing Garry’s Mod in 2026. The Prop Hunt mode that the legendary sandbox helped popularize is now a part of everything from Fortnite to Genshin Impact, and we’ll soon be able to add World of Warcraft to that list. Yes, Blizzard’s MMO is getting its own take on Prop Hunt this year.In WoW, the mode will be called Decor Duel, and in today’s State of Azeroth broadcast, director Ion Hazzikostas was not shy about calling it a “Prop Hunt-inspired event.” It’ll…
A group of tinkerers working on reviving Bioware’s Anthem via private servers following its shutdown earlier this month have now offered more insight into how that project’s going so far. While a video posted last week got hopes up that a return could be relatively imminient, the group say there’s plenty of work to be done yet, with the main potential stubling block being efforts to figure out the quirks of EA’s Frostbite engine.
I’ve been writing about VPNs for almost five years now. Keeping on top of all news related to them helped make me profoundly aware of the threats facing internet privacy from governments and shady individuals alike. I love to champion VPNs as the protectors of individual privacy in an increasingly invasive internet – but deep down, I know the truth. Nothing will motivate people to get a VPN more than protecting their access to porn. From February 2, Pornhub will be inaccessible to everybody in the UK apart from those who have an existing account on the site. This new…
Owlcat Games pushes the RPG genre forward at every turn. By bringing the uncompromising depth of old-school CRPGs to the modern era, it has found success upon success. CRPG devotees consider Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous to be one of the genre’s greatest offerings, while 2023’s Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader captured the scope of Games Workshop’s cutthroat universe with a then-unseen level of faithfulness and ambition.For many fans, though, Owlcat’s best is still to come. Upcoming CRPG Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy looks to build upon Rogue Trader in every way possible, while The Expanse: Osiris Reborn will see Owlcat venture…
Stardew Valley creator Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone has emerged from the giant Easter egg in which he makes games to “debunk a few myths and false assumptions” about Haunted Chocolatier, his forthcoming sticky-fingered life sim. The good news is that he’s been “very productive” lately, though he admits that he “shouldn’t have announced the game so early”, which suggests we’ve a ways to go yet before the first proper Haunted Chocolatier trailer or info blowout.
