Are you more of a supervan wrecker or a bone stock maniac? Can you be best described as a British couch racing champion, or is your calling more in the realms of Finnish folk? These are the sorts of questions you’ll have to pose to yourself whenever you fire up Wreckfest 2’s still-in-the works career mode, which devs Bugbear Entertainment have just laid out a bunch of plans for.
I’ve been wondering when the Deadlock hero pool would get its first true summoner, and newcomer Graves (no, not that one, League of Legends fans) seemed at first glance like she might fill the role. However, the stylish necromancer isn’t quite what I was expecting, feeling a lot closer to Dota 2’s Undying than Chen or Lycan, and more of a more of a Malzahar than a Yorick or Naafiri. With that said, her kit still feels very good to use, and I can see myself putting quite a few hours into figuring out how to get the most from…
The creative director of Ubisoft’s long-in-development Beyond Good & Evil 2 has spoken for the first time since the company’s ‘major reset’, reassuring that development of the game is progressing.Last week, the Assassin’s Creed publisher announced a significant organizational restructuring, which will see its development teams split into autonomous ‘creative houses’.One of those ‘houses’ was confirmed to include BG&E2, the game that’s now been in development in some form for nearly 20 years.Its inclusion came as a surprise to some, since Ubisoft had seemingly been somewhat ruthless with the decision to cancel six games, including the remake of Prince of Persia: The Sands…
Don’t expect Cyberpunk 2 to suddenly feature elaborate cinematic cutscenes or shift into third-person, as creative director Igor Sarzyński prefers the immersion of first-person cutscenes.Over on Bluesky, Sarzyński posts some screenshots from the development of the first game’s Phantom Liberty expansion, saying “gotta admit setting up cutscenes in this game would be extremely pleasant (coz everything looks mindblowingly amazing) but in the end I value our uninterrupted immersion more.”However, one user isn’t entirely a fan, saying the choice to stick to first-person limited gamers who prefer third-person viewpoints, and that they disagree with the idea that experiencing a world from…
Turtle Beach Burst II Pro specs: Connectivity: 2.4Hz wireless, Bluetooth, USB-C Weight: 57g Battery life: 40 hours (2.4GHz), 150 hours (Bluetooth) DPI range: 50-30,000 Buttons: 8 Price: From £120 / $140 The Turtle Beach Burst II Pro’s raison d’être is to bung a Valorant esportist’s Christmas list of premium features into an ultra-lightweight gaming mouse; a class of peripheral that’s more accustomed to jettisoning luxuries than hoarding them. Thus we have a desk rat that weighs 57g, less than half of the apparently immortal Logitech G502 Hero, while packing pleasantly clicky optical switches and an 8K polling sensor – meaning…
A new Hytale update has hit the sandbox game’s pre-release build, and despite word from studio founder Simon Collins-Laflamme that it would be a quieter week, there are plenty of additions to be excited about. Terraria 1.4.5 might have dragged me away from Hypixel Studios’ rapidly evolving Minecraft challenger, but the necromancy buffs are pulling me back in. There’s also some reassurance that your Hytale username is locked in and won’t be stolen by other players, no matter how high-profile they might be. Hypixel recently announced that it would be changing the way it rolls out Hytale updates, with regular…
Nintendo has commented on why Dispatch has been censored on Nintendo Switch platforms.Earlier this week, Dispatch, the episodic narrative adventure game by AdHoc Studio – set up by veteran developers from Telltale Games, Ubisoft, and Night School Studio –was released on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2.However, shortly after the game’s release, fans noticed that the Nintendo Switch version includes permanent censorship not present in other versions.Dispatch features some scenes of nudity, where breasts and penises are visible. In some instances, like one moment very early into the game, these are used for comedic effect, rather than in a sexual…

Just a week or so after he made an indirect dig at Valve boss Gabe Newell, Epic Games’ CEO Tim Sweeney is once again firing criticism in Steam’s direction. Reacting to discussions around a recent class action lawsuit against Valve, which claims UK residents have been left over $897 million / £656 million out of pocket by purchasing games on Steam, Sweeney has described the platform’s commission rate as a “30% junk fee.” Epic Games has already embarrassed Google and forced change at Apple with its high-profile antitrust lawsuits, which fought for their respective storefronts to permit third-party payment systems…
