Final Fantasy 14 is one of the most successful MMOs chugging along right now, but what if it wasn’t an MMO at all? Final Fantasy 14 director and producer Naoki ‘Yoshi-P’ Yoshida has toyed with the idea of a single-player spin-off because some series fans apparently won’t give online games the time of day.During a Q&A panel attended by GamesRadar+ at Final Fantasy 14 Fan Festival 2026, the beloved game director was asked about the possibility of a single-player game set in FF14’s world, possibly following side characters or a different period of time.”Yes, I have thought about it,” Yoshi-P…
The gift of Guild Wars Reforged just keeps on giving. That is, if you’re the type to fixate on naming your fantasy roleplay characters something super-specific – or love to find creative ways to link your name to something that’ll make grown adults chuckle like Beavis and Butthead. It’s a good time to be an immature idiot, let me tell you! Speaking of endlessly quotable 90s cartoon characters, that’s exactly the focus of the latest Guild Wars Reforged update. Well, it’s my focus with this week’s Guild Wars update. Are these things weekly? I’ve had next to no time to…
The game industry changed with the launch of Grand Theft Auto 3 in 2001. It certainly wasn’t the first game with adult content, but its astronomical success helped prove there was a giant audience out there for mature titles. Many major publishers were suddenly a lot more willing to make games that the ESRB would likely slap with an M rating, but there was one notable exception: Nintendo.”The games industry is broader than ever, and there are many different ways to produce a game these days,” Shigeru Miyamoto said in a 2003 interview with the Swedish Superplay Magazine. That interview…
Welp, the game Assassin’s Creed Hexe may have been a few months ago probably won’t be the game it will be. Back in February, the still quite mysterious Hexe lost its creative director, Clint Hocking. Now it appears that the game has also lost its game director, Benoit Richer. This is based on a recent post from Richer shared to his personal LinkedIn, where he announced that he has started at a new studio. “This is the beginning of a new chapter: I’m joining Servo Games as Game Director!” reads the post. “An indie studio of industry veterans,…
Turns out Star Citizen isn’t the only multiplayer space adventure struggling to ship a first-person shooter mode. Elite Dangerous – the space game that erroneously convinced me that we’d all be gaming in VR every day nearly a decade ago – just delayed its new Operations mode. Again. And if the last gameplay sneak peek was any indication of the experience we almost had this month, I’m shocked the announcement wasn’t made earlier. According to a particularly livid fan on the Elite Dangerous subreddit two months ago, the game’s new Operations co-op mode was originally slated to launch in Late…
Final Fantasy 14’s director Naoki Yoshida – affectionately dubbed Yoshi-P by fans – can’t see the MMO coming to an end anytime soon, with or without him.When asked about where the mammoth MMO is headed in the next 10 years, during a Fan Festival Q&A panel attended by GamesRadar+, Yoshi-P said the question brings to mind “some sort of end point, and I can’t really imagine [Final Fantasy 14] coming to an end,” via a translator.”Well, I guess it is kind of like my goal to keep [FF14] going,” he adds. “So maybe that, I think, would be my goal.”…
It is happening again. By that I mean Final Fantasy 14 is getting a new expansion, once again ensuring my timeline will be flooded with thousands of screenshots of tall bunny women and regular sized cat boys. It’s called Evercold this time around, seemingly bringing about a cold snap to Eorzea, if the lengthy teaser trailer is anything to go by. The new overarching storyline started with the previous expansion, Dawntrail, has a name now too: the Godless Realms Saga. Sounds cosy! There were a lot of other changes and additions announced too, so bear with me here.…
Upcoming expansion FF14 Evercold is about to introduce a completely new way to play every job in the game, and for a lot of them the difference is significant. ‘Evolved Mode’ transforms each of the game’s 21 classes into a fresh form, designed to feel streamlined, more flexible, and with more individual personality. However, you don’t have to use it. If you like the way things are right now, ‘Reborn Mode’ will keep the classic style that you know and love, and it’ll continue to be supported, remaining equally viable for completing everything the MMORPG throws your way. During a…
The first two achievements I unlock in god game Masters of Albion are very telling. The first is awarded for throwing a worker over 25 meters with my deity’s disembodied hand. An accident, I promise – even godhood comes with growing pains. The second achievement is for ordering my village’s factory to stuff its pies with rats. What can I say? Buy cheap, get cheap.Over the years, the god game genre has ceded territory to a flourishing sim scene. But there’s significant overlap. In Masters of Albion your initial goal is to raise a small village from neglect, restoring its…
This will sound like a leading statement coming from an obvious Arc Raiders fan: the cozy game boom annoys me a tiny bit. Outwardly cute, rhythmic, and familiar sims and RPGs dominate the space, though not without reason. They can be compelling, comforting, and deeply fun. But the cozy genre is loosely defined, and any game could be cozy to you. Elden Ring is one of my cozy games. I can play it when I want a moreish challenge but don’t want to be challenged. For weeks, my cozy game has been Slay the Spire 2 on increasingly brutal Ascension…
