Neil Newbon, the actor behind the devilishly enchanting vampire Astarion in Baldur’s Gate 3, doesn’t want to be typecast in future projects.Newbon was a well-known actor before playing Astarion, having previously played major roles in Resident Evil 3 Remake, Resident Evil Village, and Xenoblade Chronicles 3, but you could argue his major breakout role was in Baldur’s Gate 3. That seems to be Newbon’s perception, anyway, as he says he’s been avoiding roles that are too similar to Astarion.”I’ve definitely avoided a few roles recently not because they were bad projects or anything, just because they, for me, the character—they…
Crimson Desert developer Pearly Abyss has implemented a rather curious change to the new open-world action-adventure game: fat cats, previously aptly called “fat cats,” have had their names changed to “loafy cats.”I leafed through the latest patch notes for Crimson Desert and couldn’t find any mention of this language change, but GamesRadar+ guides editor Joel Franey was able to confirm that, indeed, fat cats are loafy now, not fat. And no, loafy cats aren’t a new feline species added to the game alongside fat cats. That would be too powerful. No, this is complete fat cat erasure. Pearl Abyss even…
Having re-launched Splitgate 2 as Spligate: Arena Reloaded late last year, 1047 Games have now kicked off early work on a new shooter. Details are scarce aside from the fact you’ll be able to move around in it and that 1047 CEO Ian Proulx reckons it should appeal to fans of Titanfall and Call of Duty Blops 3. Oh, and that you can sign-up for to playtest it now.
Teyon has officially announced that a new Hunter: The Reckoning game is in development.Hunter: The Reckoning – Deathwish is set for release in 2027, and is based on the horror tabletop RPG set in the World of Darkness universe (which includes Vampire: The Masquerade), which has players fighting vampires, werewolves, and ghosts in a modern-day setting.“You are in the real world – New York, so real city – and the whole thing is that you’ve been living in a lie,” game director Piotr Łatocha told the official Xbox Wire blog.“As the player, you discover that there is a second world…
Welcome to the weekend! Time once again to kick back and enjoy a good old Netflix binge. As we near the end of the month, the streamer is still putting out great new shows, so we’ve pulled out three of them here to fill your next few days with laughter – and terror!Something Very Bad is Going to Happen leads the pack this week. The new horror series is executive produced by the Duffer Brothers (yes, them of Stranger Things fame), so you know this is going to be interesting. It’s backed up with the final season of Roseanne spin-off…
A new Life is Strange game doesn’t always feel particularly odd given its sort of steady turn into a franchise. The last one was only in 2024 with Life Is Strange: Double Exposure, bringing back the original game’s Max Caulfield. This wasn’t necessarily a welcome return for all, and ended up being somewhat of a mixed bag. And now we come to now with a potentially odd entry, Life is Strange: Reunion, which is out today. As the subtitle suggests, and where the oddness comes in, Reunion reunites Max with the surprising return of Chloe Price. Big spoilers ahead…
I’ve been obsessed with Marathon since it was released. From the slick art direction to the fathoms of lore hidden in obscure and often abstruse menu systems, this truly is a game that rewards you for paying attention. My one nitpick was that Cryo Archive, the first season’s endgame map, was restricted to weekends. As someone with young kids who would prefer to go to the park than sit around watching their dad exfiltrate an alien planet, my weekends are strictly non-gaming time. Thankfully, the new Marathon update has shifted things around so I can finally give Cryo Archive a…
Sega has revealed more information on the upcoming Stranger Than Heaven.Developed by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio – the developer responsible for the Yakuza / Like a Dragon Games – Stranger Than Heaven was originally revealed during The Game Awards in late 2024, under the title Project Century.It was then confirmed in June 2025 that the game’s title would be Stranger Than Heaven, and that it would be set in Japan in 1915, but no further information was given on whether it would be a Yakuza / Like a Dragon spin-off or a completely separate game.Now it has been confirmed that…
The success of Mario and Sonic through the 16-bit wars spawned a massive wave of platformers featuring oddball mascot heroes. Some of them were pretty good, a lot of them were pretty bad, but most of them sat in that awkward space and were simply lost to time. One of the games in that middle category is Zool, which is somehow staging a comeback with assistance from the legendary fan translator Hilltop.Zool was originally developed by British studio Gremlin Graphics for Amiga computers in 1992. As is typical for platformers with that kind of origin, it’s got massive, often meandering…
I’ve already spoken once today about my intrigue around permanency today, so why not keep that train running. Star Wars Zero Company, a strategy game with XCOM in its veins and execution, is continuing on its spiritual predecessors lineage by having the most controversial of all video deaths as a main feature: permadeath. Yes, any alien squadmates you build up and get overly attached to can’t do a Darth Sidious and come back without any explanation. Once they’re dead, they’re dead. But this isn’t a feature that everyone, including narrative lead Aaron Contreras, was happy with. Speaking with…
