Animal Crossing: New Horizons fans are a little disappointed about Slumber Islands' building limitations: "Everything is exactly the same as changing my own island"
Animal Crossing: New Horizon’s 3.0 update and Nintendo Switch 2 Edition are both out, putting a smile on the faces of villagers everywhere who feared the game had long been abandoned. But the new content isn’t a total slam dunk as some fans aren’t too smitten with the Slumber Islands.Slumber Islands are essentially a freeform sandbox or ‘creative mode’ for Animal Crossing: New Horizons, introduced in this week’s free 3.0 update, letting players freely decorate an empty island stuck in an alternative dreamworld. You can’t take or use up any resources while in the Slumber Islands, either, so fixing them…
Amazon’s colonial fantasy MMO New World (latterly rebranded New World: Aeternum) is no longer available for purchase as of yesterday, and will be taken offline for good from 31st July 2027, the publishers have announced. The news follows the release of the game’s final major update back in October, amid mass layoffs at Amazon.
Rust director makes a public '25 million' offer to buy axed Amazon MMO New World, because "games should never die"
The clock on New World: Aeternum is officially ticking, with developer Amazon Games announcing that there’s just one year left before its ambitious MMORPG is taken offline forever. But there’s potentially a small spark of hope; Alistair McFarlane, COO and director of Rust dev Facepunch Studios, has made a public statement to Amazon Games suggesting he’d be prepared to pay ’25 million’ for the rights. Amazon announced in October 2025 that it was halting plans to make anything new for New World: Aeternum moving forward. Despite achieving one of the biggest Steam peaks we’ve ever seen when it launched, it’s…
AMD says it's working with board partners to fight GPU price hikes, but I'm still worried about RAM shortage ramifications
Graphics card prices are clearly set to be a biggie in 2026, but AMD says it’s ready to fight increased Radeon GPU costs. While the PC gaming giant seems to have a battle plan that includes working with manufacturers to manage the economics and supply of DRAM, I am still concerned that RAMageddon will disrupt MSRPs.In a conversation with Gizmodo during CES 2026, AMD provides reassurance regarding the GPU pricing situation. “We have very strategic partnerships over many, many years with all the DRAM manufacturers to make sure that both the amount of supply that we need and the economics…
Further testing seems to confirm Monster Hunter Wilds DLC performance improvement theory, to an extent
I think we all want it to be true that the Monster Hunter Wilds’ infamously limp PC performance can be blamed upon, as was reported yesterday, an overzealous DLC checking process gumming up what might overwise be a perfectly fine-running beastfight game. Partly because it just sounds funny. Willing but frustrated graphics elves running about, harangued to distraction by a hairstyle add-on overseer nagging for licenses, like a Daily Telegraph reader demanding to know why you aren’t wearing a poppy on November 3rd. The best part? All evidence suggests it genuinely is true – albeit only to varying degrees, and…
2026 marks the 25th anniversary of Animal Crossing, and with the new update for Animal Crossing: New Horizons also having just been released, now is the perfect time to test your Nintendo knowledge.While we wait for news of a new game featuring Tom Nook asking for more Bells to be added to the upcoming Switch 2 games roster, this ultimate Animal Crossing quiz is going to put your villager brains to use. Here we’ve gone through all the mainline games in the franchise so far (sorry, Pocket Camp players) and gathered some questions that will make even the most seasoned…
Capcom have released a new 13 minute Resident Evil Requiem gameplay showcase, with commentary from director Koshi Nakanishi. About 20% of it is Leon Kennedy kicking zombies in the noggin, doing Wickian dodge-shoots, or chopping torsos with a chainsaw or hatchet (the latter a subweapon that needs periodic resharpening). Another 20% consists of new, stealth-oriented character Grace creeping through ornate chambers in first person; being the “cold bath” to Leon’s “hot sauna”, she doesn’t have serious fighting skills, but she does have a ‘pinch hitter’ handcannon for those times when skulking behind tableware won’t cut the mustard. There’s talk…
After three years of waiting, Terraria 1.4.5 finally has a release date, and it's going to completely transform the game
Some things simply feel impossible. GTA 6. No cheaters in online videogames. World peace. Terraria 1.4.5. Three years in the making, the now-colossal update finally has a release date, and we don’t have to wait much longer. With a changelog the length of my arm and a list of ‘miscellaneous features’ that just keeps on going, there’s a lot to look forward to. Initially slated to launch in 2023, Terraria 1.4.5 has grown, and grown, and grown. While it likely marks the end of significant development for Re-Logic’s sandbox game, it adds everything from NPC housing changes to nippy little…
The first full images of Lego’s Ocarina of Time ‘Final Battle’ set with Link vs Ganondorf have been leaked
The first images of Lego’s upcoming The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time set have been leaked.Nintendo teased a new Lego set based on The Legend of Zelda back in October, showing a Lego version of Link looking up, as a large shadow looms over him. A Lego version of Zelda is also standing in the background, out of focus. Link is accompanied by Navi, all but confirming the set to be from Ocarina of Time.While the teaser didn’t explicitly state what the set was at the time, it lent more weight to a previous claim by Lego leaker Brick…
28 Years Later: The Bone Temple is in cinemas now and stirring up quite the critical buzz. Many fans, who have already seen the film, are calling it the equal of – or even better – than the previous movie. It has also opened to a near perfect Rotten Tomatoes score. But what about the next chapter in the trilogy?The third 28 Years Later film was confirmed to be going ahead back in December 2025, with Cillian Murphy in talks to reprise the role of Jim from the original movie. Anyone who has already seen the new film will have…
