In a big departure for the series, the new Fable won’t change your character’s appearance based on your morality. So, you won’t suddenly grow devil horns after attacking a group of innocents and you won’t spawn an angelic halo for your good deeds either, but fans are pretty divided about the feature’s absence.Playground Games’ general manager and founder Ralph Fulton explained to IGN why morality-based character morphing was gone, arguing that in the new game, “there is no objective good and evil.” There’s instead lots of murky gray areas in this updated Albion, not to mention the fact that the…

State of Decay 3 has been fairly quiet since its announcement five years ago, aside from one brief trailer aimed at its zombie-infested open world in 2024, but the head of Xbox Game Studios has given us a small update on how the survival game’s progressing.When we sat down with Xbox Game Studios lead and former Rare boss Craig Duncan to talk about the publisher’s multiplatform strategy and Developer Direct reveals, like the gorgeous deep dive on Fable, we took the chance to ask whether State of Decay 3 would rear its head again this year.”I think the [PR] in…
The first big Europa Universalis 5 update is looking to be just what it needs as developer Paradox Tinto aims to build on a largely excellent foundation to ensure EU5 can truly cement its spot among the best grand strategy games around. The team has had plenty of time to watch a wide audience get to grips with everything on offer, which allows the kind of in-depth, rigorous testing that you can only get once your game is out. Based on this, it’s tackling some key frustrations, including the fine balance of enemy-AI aggression, and the somewhat stale nature of…
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie’s release has been brought forward, with the film now arriving simultaneously in major markets like the US and UK.In a Nintendo Direct published on Sunday, Nintendo and Illumination premiered the latest trailer for the Mario Movie sequel, featuring new characters like Yoshi and Birdo.Hidden at the bottom of a news release was the announcement that the US release date for Galaxy has been brought forward by two days to April 1, 2026.“The Super Mario Galaxy Movie will move from April 3, 2026, to April 1, 2026 in the US and many additional markets globally, and…
Playground Games is doing a lot to adapt classic Fable in modern ways with its upcoming reboot, but that doesn’t mean the Forza Horizon maker is being completely faithful. Classic Fable’s binary good and evil morality has been hugely overhauled, for instance, partly to represent how “morality exists in the world that we live in today.””We talked about how it kind of felt like some games had moved on in a more sophisticated way to discuss morality,” studio general manager Ralph Fulton told GamesRadar+ in a recent interview. “And certainly, when we looked at the world, there’s no objective good,…
No one would question you for being wary of Marathon. Bungie’s upcoming FPS is a soft reboot of its classic series, and after years of Destiny 2 controversies, the developer is between a rock and a hard place. However, Arc Raiders has shown that even casual multiplayer fans can enjoy a good ol’ extraction shooter, and while we have yet to see if Marathon will justify a spot in our best FPS games, you can already get a discount on it before it launches. At least it won’t sting as much if you don’t enjoy it. If there’s anything I…
Xbox’s studios boss has said Microsoft is going to try and be “more consistent” with its PlayStation 5 release strategy going forward.In its continued push towards becoming a multiplatform business, Xbox released six titles for PlayStation 5 in 2025, with more planned for this year.However, it’s been somewhat inconsistent with its release strategy so far, with some games arriving later on PS5, like Indiana Jones and Avowed, while others were released on day one, like Gears of War: Reloaded and The Outer Worlds 2.The inconsistency is set to continue in 2026, with last week’s Xbox Developer Direct confirming Fable as…
As promised earlier this week, a fresh new look at the Mario Bros.’ next big adventure has arrived via Nintendo Direct. What’s on show should be more than enough to get fans feeling giddy over another trip with that adorable plumber that sounds surprisingly like Star-Lord, and who is, coincidentally, heading out into the galaxy himself. Oh, and he’s got a new dinosaur friend.Besides Chris Pratt reprising his role as the legendary hero in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, we’ve also got Anya Taylor-Joy back as Princess Peach, Charlie Day as Luigi, Jack Black as Bowser, Keegan-Michael Key as Toad,…
The 1.0 launch of Escape From Tarkov marked a milestone I’d started to wonder if we’d ever see, almost a decade after one of the most genre-defining extraction shooters first burst onto the scene. But its departure from early access and arrival on Steam was somewhat overshadowed by a rather unlikely contender. Escape From Duckov combined a cheeky naming strategy with a game that, while rather different from its namesake, is actually a remarkably solid PvE survival shooter. But could the two now be about to collide? All signs point to ‘yes.’ Rumors of a collaboration between Escape From Tarkov…
