The developers behind AdventureQuest Worlds have been talking about a modern upgrade of the Flash-based MMORPG for over a decade – you know, for about as long as Flash has been irrelevant. The game’s been locked in a custom launcher for ages now, and the devs are finally building a modern port for PC and mobile. Judging by the massive success of their Kickstarter, I’d say the audience is along for the ride.AdventureQuest Worlds: Infinity aims to rebuild the MMO in Unity, so it can be distributed on Steam, iOS, and Android. Existing accounts will transfer over, and the devs…
I’m not very good at Blighted, I quickly determine while darting through a mountainous region in a co-op session during GDC 2026. I mistime more than half my dodges, and it takes what feels like a long time to reach the boss in large part because I keep getting my head kicked in by various enemies we – me and one of the developers – encounter across the psychedelic landscape. And yet it still draws me in, making me want to keep going rather than throw in the towel.”Blighted is a Metroidvania action RPG,” says Graham Smith, co-founder of Drinkbox…

These documents come courtesy of excellent YouTuber Norman Caruso, who you might know better as…
Crimson Desert is clawing its way back from its fairly controversial launch, proving itself an unambiguous critical and commercial success after two weeks of meaningful updates and improvements.Pearl Abyss dropped its new open-world RPG on March 19 to largely positive critical reviews but “Mixed” user reviews on Steam, with widespread criticism going toward its story and controls. There were also some early controversies around most of its mounts not being permanent, but Pearl Abyss quickly addressed both of those issues by adding five new permanent mounts and removing and apologizing for the AI art thing. Even more crucially, it’s been…

InZOI director Hyungjun ‘Kjun’ Kim says that he is proud to see fellow Korean developers succeed, but also reckons that Asian game developers still have lots to learn from the West.His comments, made during a private Q&A session at Krafton’s InZOI Studio in Seoul attended by GamesRadar+, come after being asked about the success of Crimson Desert – made by Pearl Abyss, which is also based in South Korea – and differences between the Western and Asian games industries.”I’m always really proud of Korean developers,” Kim said via a translator, adding that their success is reassuring for him: “I also…
Undead Labs has finally confirmed that a State of Decay 3 playtest is on the way, and I’m starting to feel the buzz again.

There are plenty of puzzles in Resident Evil 2: Remake that might stop you in your tracks, and I know the Drug Testing Lab’s Dispersal Cartridge puzzle did it for me.After unlocking the equipment in the Drug Testing Lab via the Greenhouse Control Room code found on the bottom of the DNA Helix Trophy, you must complete a puzzle where you have to fill a tube with only the correct amount of liquid for the Dispersal Cartridge. The correct amount is marked with a red ring on the left-most tube, and you’ll have to swap liquids between the tubes in…
A movie pulling in a perfect, 100% Rotten Tomatoes score is a rare thing these days. As rare, you might say, as finding a mythical sea creature bobbing off a Floridian marina – and yet, with Mermaid, Fallout star Johnny Pemberton manages to do both.Written and directed by Tyler Cornack, the surreal horror-comedy is reminiscent of a slice-of-life Sean Baker flick, as it drops us into the world of Doug Nelson, a drug-addled dude who works at a neon-lit bar that’s essentially a strip club meets Seaworld. He knows all there is to know about salt-water fish. Humans? Well, they’re…
