Baldur’s Gate 3 actor Neil Newbon, who plays Astarion in the hit 2023 RPG, is once again making it very clear he doesn’t want generative AI anywhere near his video games.Of course, Newbon has never been shy to share his feelings on AI, having previously said it “sucks,” “doesn’t work very well,” and “sounds crap” alongside other more expletive-laden repudiations.During the finale of his 126-part YouTube video series in which he played through the entire game, Newbon once again ripped into the prospect of generative AI being used in video game development, specifically because when amazing games like Baldur’s Gate…
As we sink ever deeper into a squelching mire of memory shortages, price gouging, and abandonment in favour of AI fantasy farms, there is one word above all that game-playing PC owners should keep front and centre in our doomscroll-addled brains: “relatively.”
In (kind of) the immortal words of K-Pop Demon Hunters: “fit check for my D&D era.” Yes, that headline is very real: Wizards of the Coast has partnered with Epic Games to bring its iconic fantasy world to Fortnite, adding five new islands inspired by D&D, built by Fortnite creators. If you’ve ever wondered what the Yawning Portal would look like in Epic’s battle royale game, this collab has you covered, and I won’t lie, it’s inspired me to brush the dust off of my Spacefarer Ariana Grande skin. As mentioned, these new Fortnite islands have been brought to life…

Luke Cage actor Mike Colter is ready to join the MCU, as he and the vigilante have “unfinished business.””Listen, I will say this, I’ve had conversations… and I’ll leave it at that,” Colter said on the On That Note Podcast (via IGN). “Because when it wrapped… y’know I loved playing Luke Cage but I love acting and doing different things. So I just was like, ‘I’ll do something else.’ I love the fans and I love that world. And it’s been years now. So now, I’m doing other projects, but now I think to myself ‘I have some unfinished business…
Rubato is “an experimental, 2D physics-based take on the collect-a-thon genre”, according to developer dconn, which doesn’t really do justice to the below trailer full of screaming skulls and Mode 7 first-person driving bits and fleeting Minecraft references and PS1-era dancefloors. I guess I’m too used to the watering down of “experimental” as a descriptor. The blurb doesn’t even communicate that you play as a frog. Seemingly. Fortunately, there is a demo. Please watch the trailer while I go play it.
I remember when The Witcher 3 first clicked for me. It was my third attempt to crack the game, so I switched the difficulty down to medium (thank goodness we don’t have a comments section), completely ignored the alchemy mechanics, and just experienced it as a story-first action game. I quickly fell in love with The Continent, the characters (not Dandelion), and the environmental storytelling, and haven’t looked back since. However, not all of my friends have followed me into Geralt’s boots. Thankfully, a new multiplayer mod might be the perfect way for me to introduce them to the grumpy…

2026 is prepped to be one of Disney Lorcana’s most exciting since its debut in 2023. The Core Constructed format is popping off more and more with each passing set, and, of course, this year will also see the long-awaited arrival of Pixar to the game.Before that, there’s still one name missing. We’ve had plenty of Disney Channel cartoons grace Lorcana with Gargoyles being the latest in last year’s Whispers In The Well, but its biggest star has been absent until now. Darkwing Duck and his nemesis Negaduck will finally be swinging into one of the best card games in…
Marathon’s franchise art director Joseph Cross left Bungie in December, shortly after the Destiny developers announced a March 2026 release window for the sci-fi shooter reboot. Now, he’s talking about what it was like to work on the game, which has a fair bit of lingering negative press to contend with – extended delays, mass studio layoffs and restructuring, repeated accusations of plagiarism, money troubles owing to Bungie’s ailing shooter Destiny 2, and apathy about blockbuster live service games at large, epitomised by the cancelling of Sony’s once-touted Concord. Many would agree that nu-Marathon’s art is its strongest suite, accusations…
