His legacy in the industry is long, and his influence includes the upcoming Star Wars Zero Company. As it turns out, the project got underway when Zampella cold-called a veteran XCOM dev to find out about his dream game.”I’d left Firaxis after about 22 years of working there and making strategy games my whole career,” as Gregory Foertsch, who served as art director on the modern XCOM games, tells PC Gamer. “I knew I wanted to stay…

It doesn’t feel like seven years since DokeV was first announced, but indeed, Crimson Desert studio Pearl Abyss’s open-world Pokemon-like creature-catcher made its debut in 2019. It’s changed forms a lot since then, from MMO to open-world action adventure with K-pop and skating, from a game potentially launching in 2022 to who the heck knows when, and after years of silence that had me convinced DokeV had been reduced to vaporware, it sounds like things might finally be back on track.Talking to South Korean publication Inven at the company’s 17th annual shareholder meeting, CEO Heo Jin-young confirmed the studio’s core…
March 27, 2026: We added three new codes to give you 20 tickets, 10k cash, 20 runes, 30k cash, 25 weapon lucky spins, and 25 gear lucky spins. Three previous codes checked and working. What are the new Anime Final Quest codes? Though we sincerely doubt this is the last anime-inspired mash-up we’ll see on the Roblox platform, given their historic popularity, we’ll admit it’s an eye-catching name. Eyebrow-raising at the very least. And if it’s caught your attention, too, new AFQ codes are sure to be of interest. Rather than being another run-of-the-mill tower defense title, Anime Final Quest is…

Why, it’s a slice-of-life story about a neurodivergent person growing up in the big city HOHO OF COURSE NOT, it’s a game about aliens in which there is a storm that will make you dead, set in another collapsing extra-terrestrial colony full of dependably phat, lived-in 1980s technology.

Slay the Spire 2's 'anti-infinite' balance patch has now itself been patched, much to the relief of some Silent and Necrobinder players

The patch in question isn’t even formally part of the roguelite deckbuilder yet – you have to opt into the Steam beta branch to test it out. But it has sparked a ruckus nonetheless among the Spire Slayers, some of whom attempted to review bomb the game despite Mega Crit’s protestations that…
