Highguard will "permanently shut down" next week after "one final game update," dev confirms: "We have not been able to build a sustainable player base"
Highguard is dead, everyone. Wildlight has announced that it’s “permanently” shutting down the short-lived hero shooter next week on Thursday, March 12.”Today we’re sharing difficult news. We have made the decision to permanently shut down Highguard on March 12,” reads an article from the official Highguard Twitter account. “Since launch, more than 2 million players stepped into Highguard’s world.

For that, we are deeply grateful.”Despite the passion and hard work of our team, we have not been able to build a sustainable player base to support the…
Bandai Namco teaser gives JRPG fans real hope for a new Tales game as Elden Ring 2 holdouts put their clown makeup on
Bandai Namco is teasing a “new RPG reveal” for later this week, and I’m going to let the FromSoftware fans down right now: this is almost certainly not Elden Ring 2, or any other follow-up to the open-world RPG, no matter how much you might want that to be the case. There are a few other possibilities for the game’s identity, but none more likely than the long-awaited next entry in the Tales series.”A serenity soon to be disturbed,” reads a blurb accompanying the teaser. A follow-up tweet promises that this is “a new RPG from Bandai Namco Entertainment,” to…
Nicolas Cage says he wanted to play his 1930s superhero detective in Spider-Noir like a "spider pretending to be a person"
Executive producers and Spider-Verse writing duo Phil Lord and Chris Miller say Nicolas Cage had a pretty specific idea as to how he wanted to portray Spider-Noir in the upcoming Prime Video series.”That trailer is great. They did a wonderful job. He’s amazing,” Lord told Collider. “He had this great idea, which was, ‘I want to play this like a spider pretending to be a person.'” As silly as this might sound on the surface, Cage is one of the best actors of quite possibly all time (and I mean this wholeheartedly)… so we get where he’s coming from, and…
Helldivers 2 CEO seemingly accepts fans' $1,000 challenge to play on the nastiest difficulty, but it might already be backfiring: "Quite a few rupture strain a**holes"
Arrowhead CEO Shams Jorjani is undertaking what might be the greatest challenge on Super Earth: try not to embarrass yourself in front of your friends. Discord posts suggest the Helldivers 2 studio lead has hesitantly accepted one fan’s $1,000 wager to play the game on the maximum, Super Helldive difficulty for the sake of proving its “balance.”In a Reddit post, which has collected over 26,000 upvotes in four days, a player requested that Arrowhead “upload a video of 4 of their developers playing an entire operation on Oshaune on difficulty 10 and completing all objectives on all three missions on…

Fallout New Vegas hopes dead again as potential remake studio says loading screen tease was just "a BTS look at our company meeting": "Pardon us as we retreat back into our vault"
Fallout New Vegas remaster hopefuls are once again experiencing the perils of getting excited over an internet rumor, as the latest theory has been shut down by the very studio at the center of it.ICYMI, hopes for a Fallout New Vegas were artificially elevated yet again this week when Iron Galaxy Studios, the folks behind Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 and, more pertinently, the Nintendo Switch and VR editions of Skyrim and Fallout 4 VR, shared a post to LinkedIn about its “February company meeting,” in which the New Vegas loading screen can be seen. Of course, that…
Arc Raiders once again nerfs generous blueprint drop rates, but its hurricanes are still worth braving
Arc Raiders’ first patch since its mammoth Shrouded Sky update has arrived, and while it’s (predictably) much smaller, there are a few interesting tweaks and fixes under the extraction shooter’s hood. The most notable is that Embark Studios is nerfing the drop rates of blueprints after the new Hurricane map condition became a very lucrative way to farm them, and it feels like history is repeating itself. Cast your mind back to the multiplayer game’s Cold Snap update. In its first few days, Arc Raiders players could fairly reliably extract from Cold Snap runs with plenty of blueprints in tow.…
"Every AAA single player game since Bioshock is basically the same collection of fetch quests," says ex-Square Enix suit, while Roblox games evolve "as fast as Tiktok trends" and create "overnight millionaires"
The future of video game development is in game-creating platforms like Roblox, reckons Jacob Navok, former director of business at Square Enix and current CEO of Genvid, “the studio-grade AI production platform for film, TV, and branded video.”Being at the top of a company explicitly specializing in generative AI for entertainment, it’s unsurprising that Navok has repeatedly painted a picture of a future in which the total merging of game development and gen-AI is inevitable. This is the man who made headlines for saying things like “Gen-Z loves AI slop,” “AI is a one-in-a-generation change in the entire digital order,” and…
This is Overwatch's "comeback," says Blizzard, as Season 1's player stats beats the game's launch weekend's
There was a world in which Marvel Rivals eclipsed Overwatch. NetEase’s comic-styled hero shooter came out of the gate sprinting, blowing past Blizzard’s seminal FPS game and cementing itself as the next new thing. But, for all the time I plowed into Marvel Rivals, it never had the same feel. While its destruction systems and vibrant art style are unique in themselves, it didn’t have the soul that Overwatch did despite its ties to a franchise so dear to my heart. I think we were all secretly praying that Blizzard would someday ‘fix’ Overwatch; while the PvE dream felt doomed…
Yellowjackets enters production on its fourth and final season with a cryptic, cannibalistic teaser that hints at long-awaited answers
Yellowjackets has officially entered production on its fourth and final season with a typically cryptic teaser that calls back to the fateful moment at the end of season 3 in the flashback timeline, in which the stranded soccer team finally reaches a means of escape from the wilderness back to society.The teaser, posted on the official Yellowjackets social media, also shows some quick, violent flashes of the teen versions of the main cast, along with the message “The Final Call,” referring to the shots of poor, dead Natalie calling for help on a satellite radio, with a response finally coming…
