A new statement from the head of Rust developer Facepunch Studios has once again sparked hopes that canceled Amazon MMO New World could have a route to salvation. After jokingly making an offer for the rights to the MMORPG, Alistair McFarlane has now revealed that he’s signing a non-disclosure agreement with an “unnamed company” and won’t be talking about “anything related” to the party in question for the foreseeable future. New World players are convinced their game is the most likely possible candidate, although McFarlane cautions that it’s “just conversations” and that people should “have low expectations” for now. McFarlane…

Climbing is all the rage these days. Scaling seemingly insurmountable heights has been a core instinct of gamers everywhere for years, whether intentional in the likes of Assassin’s Creed, Grow Home, and Jusant, or the freeform hill-hopping of Skyrim. In 2025, Peak transformed the activity into a ridiculous co-operative adventure. Now, new indie game Cairn takes things in a rather different direction, opting for a much more personal, atmospheric, and contemplative approach to its mountainous challenges, and it’s already proving a big winner. Cairn comes from French studio The Game Bakers, known best for sci-fi slasher Furi and romantic space…

Desperate to get his groove back, the struggling creative makes a deal with a demonic force to churn out stories that will put him back on top. Naturally, the bargain comes at a cost,…
What does Arc Raiders have that Escape From Tarkov doesn’t? The answer that first comes to mind will likely be different for everyone, from its much higher focus on co-operative play to the presence of titanic robot enemies. But Battlestate’s iconic extraction FPS, which had a huge influence in making the genre what it is today, has also been missing one of the most beloved parts of Arc Raiders: ducks. Well, that’s all about to change now, and it’s thanks to a collaboration with its most unlikely ‘rival.’ Both sides had been teasing it in recent weeks, but now the…
The cute new life sim Heartopia is about to get devastatingly cuter with a My Little Pony collaboration planned to begin this Valentine’s Day, February 14. The crossover event promises puzzles and a new pet costume all sweeter than a box of truffles, but some Heartopia players might want developer XD to do better than that. It would be nice if XD could stand outside their bedroom with a boombox announcing it’s breaking up with AI-generated content, for example.The Steam description for Heartopia’s PC port has some fans suddenly feeling betrayed. The whimsical multiplayer game apparently uses AI-generated content “in…
Gravel-gargling, steering wheel specialist Vin Diesel has given fans of Fast and Furious the update they’ve been waiting for this weekend. After being left on an explosive cliffhanger that seemingly saw the death (pfft) of half his family and the return of both Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) and Gisele (Gal Gadot) in Fast X, the action star took to Instagram to finally reveal when we’d be reuniting with Dom and what’s left of his crew, as well as the movie’s title.“No one said the road would be easy… but it’s ours,” wrote Diesel in that was accompanied by the image of…
