Paramount’s acquisition of Warner Bros. and its changing model has Star Trek fans wondering what will happen to the beloved sci-fi franchise in the future. Thankfully, according to Star Trek producers Trevor Roth and Rod Roddenberry (son of Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry), Paramount has Star Trek’s best interests at heart.”Our hope is that the new leadership understands or appreciates what we appreciate about Star Trek: that it is a wonderful piece of entertainment, that it can go beyond entertaining and talk about important issues to us today, and make people think, and allow for the intelligence of our audience…
Years ago I was lost in the Shaded Woods, a foggy forest full of moaning trees. I didn’t have enough health to fight the invisible backstabbing murder ghosts, and every time I ran away from the spooky sound of their footsteps, I got lost in the fog all over again. That’s when a hacker invaded and injected me with hundreds of cursed swords, corrupting my save file and dooming Dark Souls 2 to crash over and over. It was deep magic, more powerful than any game system or lore, overwhelming the code itself. To uncurse myself, I’d…

The latest Marathon update looks like it will mean an easier time. UESC enemies have been made weaker, the frequency with which they chuck EMP grenades has been reduced, and free loadouts now come with even more ammo. Yet, after spending an hour over lunch being killed repeatedly in Maintenance on Dire Marsh, I can confirm that Marathon has not become a cakewalk.
Today, Fortnite is one of the biggest and best battle royale games, an open-world Lego adventure, a spiritual successor to Guitar Hero, and a massive canvas for players to create whatever the heck they want. But before all of that, it was a co-op PvE survival shooter. Save the World, as the mode came to be known, was the launchpad for everything Fortnite became, but it’s been mostly forgotten, living life as a niche, premium experience. However, nine years later, Epic Games clearly sees some renewed potential in Save the World – either that, or it just feels super guilty…
It’s impossible to divorce Marathon from the context surrounding its development.In July 2024, merely a month after Bungie culminated years of narrative in Destiny 2 with The Final Shape, 220 staff were laid off. As the studio continued development on the longstanding shooter, the attention on Marathon — an extraction shooter set in the same universe as the studio’s namesake series from the late 90s — has been mired in complications.This precedent, one that spans layoffs, management changes, and a significant delay, is reflected in the version of Marathon that launched last week. It’s a shooter with a graceful visual…
When it comes to game development, small changes can make a big difference, like the parrying sound in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Timing was a bit of a problem earlier on in Sandfall Entertainment’s multi-award winning epic RPG, but the sound design team were able to help remedy the situation, as Olivier Penchenier, the technical and sound designer, explained during a talk at GDC 2026 attended by GamesRadar+.”We realized that parrying was not easy for the player,” he says. “So Guillaume [Broche, director] asked me if something could help the player to get good timing on the attack. I didn’t…
