Sadly, I must report that Edwin has once again been eaten by the Maw. I want to say it was through some devious ruse but, reader, it was not. As Edwin worked the gaps between the Maw’s canines with the 8-foot toothpick, one of the Maw’s smaller tentacles slipped behind our news editor and tapped him on the shoulder. Edwin turned his head. It was only for a moment, but it was all that was needed to gobble him up. Not to worry, Edwin will surely have worked his way out of one of the Maw’s orifices (orifici?) and be…
EA says that Battlefield Studios, the coalition of studios behind Battlefield 6, will undergo “changes” that will seemingly lead to layoffs. To compete with the huge resource power of the series’ biggest rival, Call of Duty, EA merged former Battlefield developers DICE and Ripple Effect together with Motive Studios (Dead Space remake, Star Wars Battlefront 2) and Criterion Games (Burnout, Need For Speed Most Wanted) to make Battlefield 6. This quartet became known as Battlefield Studios, and each separate team focuses on different elements of the experience. Initially, this multi-studio plan appeared to have worked brilliantly. Battlefield 6 was a…
American McGee says the spiritual successor to his Alice series will connect to its storyline in some way.Back in 2023, McGee told fans to stop asking him about a new Alice game after the game designer claimed that EA had quashed his plans to make a third title in the cult series.In December 2025, however, McGee announced on X that he was working on a game based on his Plushie Dreadfuls line of plush rabbits, and that it would be a “spiritual successor” to Alice which would connect to its story in some way.In a new interview with GamesRadar, McGee…
Whether Sony wants to call it PS5 Surge pricing or “dynamic”, it’ll get the same petty response from me if digital game trends spotted by PSPrices ring true. It honestly wouldn’t take much for me to pack up my new-gen systems and pitch up the company’s original best retro console contender instead, and I reckon fans should just pick up a PS1 again as an extremely cathartic protest.While I could describe Sony’s suspected surge pricing as the company threatening me with a good time, I am actually PS5 games enjoyer. I’d naturally prefer it if one of the last-standing console…
Battlefield 6 was “the biggest launch in franchise history”, EA told us back in October – indeed, it was the best-selling game in the US in 2025… so now it’s time to lay off an unspecified number of those who made it, with cuts reportedly taking place across Criterion, Dice, Ripple Effect, and Motive Studios, though none of these studios face outright closure. “We’ve made select changes within our Battlefield organization to better align our teams around what matters most to our community,” a spokesperson has confirmed to IGN, who broke the above story. “Battlefield remains one of our biggest…

The perpetual chase toward perfect game balance in Helldivers 2 isn’t the job of any one person or team, but rather a “team effort” involving the studio, says one of the game’s support devs.”There’s no balance team,” says Arrowhead staffer B Vitamin on Discord (via Helldivers Now on Twitter). “It’s all a team effort between several people and roles because ‘balance team’ has let to some pretty unfair assumptions to be made.”I can absolutely understand why Arrowhead wouldn’t want anyone on the team to bear the massive burden of responsibility when it comes to balancing Helldivers 2. With the game’s…
