Another year, another opportunity to do some ghost busting. Phasmophobia is still trucking along all these years on, and now its devs have outlined a roadmap for the year ahead, providing a few teasing details as to what you can expect, including that long awaited 1.0 launch. Before that, at some point in Q1 the horror game will receive a player character overhaul update. This one will allow you to deck at your ghost hunter with an array of free cosmetics, for starters, but it also introduces some new character models with “fine-tuned animations” being added for things…
Lost Ark gave me a real surprise when Amazon Games brought it across from Korea to a global audience. With ARPG combat reminiscent of Diablo, but a structure that quickly reveals its hand as more of an MMORPG, it’s a strange fusion that starts slow but kept me plugging along, thanks to its rewarding combat. Then suddenly the story kicked in, and I was hooked. Unfortunately, its immense endgame grind has long proved a stumbling block for me (and many others), but today’s Lost Ark update’s progression rework has me hopeful I could actually make a return for its rampaging…

Blizzard says this is the first “fully connected annual storyline” in Overwatch history, with worldbuilding, events, hero launches, and art direction centred around the…
Nintendo kicked off 2026 with huge updates for popular games that launched years ago on the original Switch. Animal Crossing: New Horizons’ transformative 3.0 update added a new hotel feature that brings offshore strangers to your island as tourists and juiced up visuals on Switch 2, while Splatoon’s unexpectedly meaty 11.0.0 update made some major gameplay changes, like the new Flow Aura mechanic for kill streaks and health bars displaying approximate HP for allies and opponents.During Nintendo’s latest investor presentation, president Shuntaro Furukawa explained the company’s philosophy on releasing such big updates for legacy Switch titles. It’s worth noting that…
Yapyap stands apart from other “friendslop” horror extraction games by giving you plenty of firepower to begin with. Airpower, anyway. You and up to four mates are the boggle-eyed, flap-jawed minions of an enormous, moon-masked wizard. You’ve been summoned to wreak havoc on a rival wizard’s procedurally generated tower. Over the course of three nights per round, you must smash as many fixtures as you can to fill up your quota of Chaos – tapestries, crates, paintings, statues, anything that isn’t nailed down. For this purpose, you are handed a range of magical artefacts. Some of the…
How does the factions system work in Marathon? Tau Ceti IV is known as UESC territory, but that hasn’t stopped rival factions from trying to claim the colony for themselves. Each faction wants to rule Tau Ceti for different reasons, and the contracts they give you reflect their plans for the colony. The factions in Marathon are essentially quest givers, so you don’t need to worry about having to permanently pick a side in the multiplayer game. By helping out the six competing factions, you can take on contracts that reward you with upgrades to help construct the best builds…
This year’s Grammy Award for the best video game soundtrack celebrated some excellent OSTs – but notably, the list of nominees did not include Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Even this year’s winner is having a hard time believing that Sandfall’s game didn’t make the cut.Austin Wintory, best known as the composer on Journey, won the 2026 Grammy Award for Best Score Soundtrack for Video Games and Other Interactive Media thanks to his work on the wonderful hoverboarding indie adventure Sword of the Sea. As Wintory explains in a new YouTube video, he got the news about his win through “shaky…
Ashes Of Creation developers laid off during the reported closure of Intrepid Studios will not receive their final paychecks and other compensation they’re due, according to one of the departing team members.
16.2 hours. That’s what my Nioh 3 demo playtime states, and despite not even launching just yet, it’s got me with a demonic-drenched hook, line, and sinker. A ridiculous amount of mechanics and items to unlock gives the new Team Ninja game a good shot at being the best soulslike around for building your character, but the looter-style elements also give you that push to grind more. It’s a game I’m happily paying full price for, but if you’re lucky, well, you could get it for $1 / £1. I’m incredibly biased about this series, but I have every reason…
Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa says there are still no plans to increase the price of Switch 2 due to the increasing cost of memory, at least at this time.The rapidly increasing cost of RAM – mainly attributed to AI data centres buying up huge quantities of it, making supplies scarce – has become an issue in numerous markets, with some warning that it will have a knock-on effect on the cost of any devices that make use of it.Furukawa has spoken about the situation before and was asked for an update on his thoughts during a Q&A session following the…
