I often think about what XCOM 3 might look like, and ponder if we’ll ever actually see it. At least there have been plenty of other excellent strategy games inspired by the iconic alien-battling series to fill that void, and another I’ve been eagerly awaiting the full release of is the ambitious Terra Invicta. While developer Pavonis Interactive is most well-known for making the beloved XCOM Long War mod, its new game escalates proceedings out of the realm of individual skirmishes and launches it into the stars in true grand strategy fashion. Terra Invicta 1.0 is finally here, and there…
Blizzard will likely reveal a StarCraft first-person shooter, understood to be in development, at BlizzCon later this year.That’s according to a new report from Windows Central, which claims that StarCtraft is likely to headline the September event, alongside new expansions for Diablo IV and World of Warcraft.The existence of an in-development StarCraft shooter was first reported last year, in Bloomberg journalist Jason Schreier’s book Play Nice: The Rise, Fall, and Future of Blizzard Entertainment.According to the book, the project is being led by Ex-Far Cry boss Dan Hay, who left Ubisoft in 2021 after a decade at its Montreal studio, where he…
After Morrowind and Oblivion, the difficulties Bethesda had in pivoting to sci-fi for Fallout 3 are well-documented. But one major thorn in the studio’s side proved to be one of the apocalyptic RPG’s most iconic features.Speaking to Edge magazine, lead artist Istvan Pely says that the move from the fantasy of Oblivion to the science fiction of Fallout 3 “was a big pivot.” The studio “had to prove that we could pull off a totally different genre, the opposite of fantasy.” Fallout 3 remained “very much an RPG,” but that could make for an unenviable situation for the player.”We had…
If there were ever a dead horse that didn’t need so much flogging, it might be the Life is Strange series. Undeniably beloved by many, it has fallen victim to that whole franchising thing, having received an entry only in 2024 via Life is Strange: Double Exposure, a sequel game that was perhaps a little bit too messy. And here we are, in 2026, with PEGI potentially spoiling the reveal of a new entry in the series subtitled Reunion. Spoilers ahead for the game! You can see as such on the official PEGI ratings board website by simply…
Whether it’s the burning embers of a full-scale rebellion, attempting to survive a dangerous island controlled by thugs and pirates, or dealing with post-apocalyptic America, the Far Cry series offers some incredible FPS action that few games can recreate. From the reinvention of the formula with Far Cry 3 all the way to the latest entry with Far Cry 6, there’s no shortage of open-world enjoyment here, and you can play seven of the games for just $1 / £1 – that’s a deal you can’t find elsewhere. I’ve talked about my issues with Far Cry 6 before, but in…
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle studio, Machine Games, is planning a third Wolfenstein game, it’s claimed.That’s according to separate reports from Windows Central and Kotaku, the former of which claims that the Sweden-based Bethesda studio is also working on “a Rainbow Six Siege-like multiplayer title”.Machine Games released its last game, the critically-acclaimed Indiana Jones, at the tail end of 2024. Its last Wolfenstein game, the co-op title Youngblood, came out in 2019.A new entry would make sense for Bethesda, considering it was recently confirmed that a Wolfenstein live-action series is in development at Amazon, following the huge success of…
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33’s director admits that the team “made it a little bit too easy to get overpowered,” but says it’s classic PS1 RPGs like Final Fantasy 10 that are to blame.Speaking with Edge magazine, Clair Obscur director Guillaume Broche is asked whether the ability to get overleveled ahead of the game’s final boss was intentional. In response, he says that “the vision” was to have a structure similar to PS1 RPGs, “where the last disc, which is for us the last act, is very open-ended, and you can go directly to the final boss or you can do…

For long-running MMOs, finding a way to make all your old, current, and future content easy to decipher and accessible can be a bit of a minefield. What is or isn’t tied to a subscription? Do I have to fork out extra for certain DLC expansions, activities, or features? What can newcomers access for free? It can be one of the biggest stumbling blocks, especially if you’ve been running for more than a decade like The Elder Scrolls Online. To make things more accessible and less confusing, ESO is transforming with its new Seasons. Now, Zenimax Online Studios has fully…
You know what South Park feels like to me? It feels like randomly waking up in the middle of the night, looking around your bedroom as you think “cripes, it’s still not morning yet?” A feeling of waiting for the inevitable, the end, or the beginning. Not so much the contents of the show, none of that needs all that much thought, more so its very existence, which is now apparently transplanting itself into Fortnite. This latest collab came with, much like collabs with The Simpsons, Family Guy etc., a trailer that kicks off with an animation set…
