While we wait for potential remasters of Fallout 3, 4, and New Vegas, Bethesda’s other sci-fi RPG, Starfield, appears to be on the way for the PlayStation 5. Leaked product listings show two versions of the spacefaring adventure, both apparently due to arrive in April.The report originates from Polish outlet PPE, where it’s stated a Starfield port is in the works for release on PS5 on April 7. This same outlet accurately reported when Microsoft Flight Simulator’s PS5 port would arrive, and Oblivion: Remastered physical copies, but got it wrong with a claim GTA 6, so, take it with a…
Get in cover and 10/4 your sit reps, soldier! Battalion developers Bulkhead have revealed a new military sandbox shooter set to arrive in early access at some point this year. It’s called Wardogs and it’ll see matches featuring up to 100 mercenaries mercilessly murder each other in teams, with the reward being a stack of money to spend on upping the ante with their next loadout.
If Blue Prince taught us anything last year, it’s that some of the best games you’ve never played might be sweet, illustrative-style puzzlers from indie developers. If you’ve played Blue Prince and are waiting for something new to take its place, Botany Manor, one of the free Epic games for this week, is a must-try. The first thing that strikes you about Botany Manor is its incredible aesthetic. Taking place inside an English Victorian manor house, your surroundings are inspired by classic, vintage style. Think dark wood, richly colored paint, and sunlight leaking through stained-glass windows. In fact, even the achievement…

Nioh 3 director Masaki Fujita says developer Team Ninja never considered adding difficulty settings to its hardcore Soulslike games.Team Ninja is a developer that is associated with difficulty. Before Dark Souls was around, the studio’s Ninja Gaiden was the game people would use as a shorthand for “this is super hard,” so when the studio got around to making its own Souls-inspired games, they were naturally even harder. The Nioh series is one that I personally find much harder than any of FromSoftware’s proprietary Souls games, but despite that, Team Ninja seems to have a very similar approach to difficulty…
Retro PC game sellers GOG have faced criticism recently for using a piece of artwork made using AI tools to promote their store’s new year sale. The storerunners have since claimed that this banner was a work-in-progress asset which slipped through onto the store by mistake. Now, the platform’s managing director has revealed that the company are “not planning on making absolute statements in either direction” in terms of their future AI use, following the backlash.
When Arc Raiders developer Embark Studios brought us three-team squad shooter The Finals, I couldn’t help but wonder what that dynamic would look like at the large scale of Battlefield 6. To find an answer, you could look to Arma 3’s King of the Hill mod, which has now been turned into a full, standalone game in collaboration with its creators. Wardogs is a 100-player “tactical all-out warfare FPS” that pits three rival armies against one another in a breakaway from the battle royales and extraction shooters of the world. Wardogs comes from developer Bulkhead, back as an independent studio…

My thoughts see-saw between two definitive statements while playing the first three chapters of Planet of Lana 2. I am the cleverest person alive, my internal monologue gloats as I accidentally solve a tricky puzzle with an experimental button mash. I’m dragging a massive rock onto a movable platform, and now all I need to do is get Lana’s cat-like animal pal Mui to raise it. Only, my hands forget how to function for a moment, and I send my beloved pet wandering right into an enemy vision cone. Mui gets sniped on-sight. Lana cries out in horror. I am…
While XCOM 3 remains a pipedream for now, there are an increasing number of tactical RPGs ready to step up to the empty half-cover and take their shot. Among them, Menace is one I’ve had a particularly close eye on for years, and now it’s finally here. Combining all that stats-driven, alien-blasting goodness with a nightmarish, Terminator-style threat, and then rolling in a squad relationship dynamic that feels somewhere between Jagged Alliance and Baldur’s Gate 3, it’s racked up more than 600,000 Steam wishlists. Now, it’s time to take the threat to the eponymous Menace for real. I’ve been waiting…
