The Saudi-led acquisition of Electronic Arts is meeting with more friction in the US House of Congress. 46 lawmakers have signed a letter calling on the Federal Trade Commission to investigate the debt-financed $55 billion deal for signs that it could be damaging for workers and anti-competitive to the point of breaking US anti-trust law. As passed along by Game Developer, the letter has been organised by Labor Caucus co-chairs Steven Horsford, Debbie Dingell, Mark Pocan, and Donald Norcross – the Labor Caucus being a group of over 120 members of Congress focused on “advancing the needs of working people…
While I’ve played a fair amount of Call of Duty Warzone in my time, I’ve never really felt compelled to get stuck into its ranked experience. I’ve dabbled in ranked Apex Legends and Fortnite in the past, but Warzone took so long to establish its competitive scene that I really never cared for it. However, I could be tempted by some of the changes coming to Warzone Season 2, which Raven Software says mark a “new chapter” for the battle royale game. The big difference in Warzone Season 2 is that the traditional, large-map ranked mode will be replaced with…

Sine Fine is a “hard sci-fi” space exploration game from the avid stargazers at Vindemiatrix Collective, a developer based across western Europe. It is certainly hard to get your head around, but also, very promising. The premise is that you’re a lonely, functionally immortal AI, seeking a new home for some meagre frozen embryos in the wake of humanity’s extinction. Labouring across eons, you’ll send out probes to nearby systems and build outposts and communication networks.
I should be numb to it by now, but I’m still constantly surprised by some of the Fortnite crossovers that get announced. Many just make sense – the mini season themed around The Simpsons was great. Others just fry my brain a little – I mean, The Office? Really? However, I do quite enjoy seeing some of gaming’s most iconic characters battling it out on the same ridiculous island. Solid Snake. Master Chief. Geralt of Riva. Soon, they’ll be joined by one Kliff MacDuff, the terrifically named lead of upcoming fantasy game Crimson Desert. That’s right, the grizzled member of…

As Blizzard gears up for the first new Overwatch 2 season of 2026, game director Aaron Keller takes a moment to dig into some of the biggest community talking points right now. At the top of his list are discussions about misplaced challenger ranks, event rewards, and Blizzard’s intent to support the continued popularity of Open Queue. Also included are adjustments to the recently reworked aim assist system, which Keller says the team “would have rolled out a lot differently” given a second chance. In December, the Overwatch 2 team rolled out a new overhaul to player ranks called the…
