Seeing Xbox Game Studios greet me when I boot up a game on PS5 still takes some getting used to, but damn if it isn’t a welcome sight. Following in the footsteps of Forza Horizon 5 and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle in 2025, Avowed is no longer an Xbox exclusive thanks to its release on PS5 today. And just like Playground’s racer and MachineGames globetrotting adventure, I couldn’t be happier about the fact that more players are going to be able to discover Obsidian’s colorful, Pillars of Eternity-tinged fantasy.After all, I was head-over-heels for the Living Lands this…
The development team behind EA Sports FC uses an AI recreation of at least one of its commentators to record some of the game’s lines, it’s been revealed.Guy Mowbray has been one of the game’s commentators since EA Sports FC 24, and has explained the process in a new interview with the BBC.Mowbray explained that the act of recording commentary for a large sports game with constantly updated players means it’s “part of my weekly routine, pretty much every week from November all the way through to the start of July”.The article notes that the most repetitive task Mowbray has…
It’s no secret that the Magic community is divided on Universes Beyond sets, so I was hesitant going into a press briefing for MTG Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. A level of care and attention to detail is always evident in releases like Final Fantasy or Lord of the Rings, but with the sheer avalanche of UB crossovers heading our way in 2026, it’s hard not to be nervous about quantity overwhelming quality at this point.While I’m still leery of there being more Universes Beyond Magic sets than original IP this year, hearing from the MTG Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles designers…
RimWorld is a strange, beautiful gem of a game. Masquerading as a colony simulation experience, as you survive a daunting alien world, it’s also arguably a story generator. For every haunting night that you barely see the next day, you’ll also have a situation where your elderly colonist gets instantly wiped out by a meteor that decided to land exactly where he was. Or perhaps you slap a T. rex into learning its place in the world. Either way, it’s an absolutely chaotic experience that rarely goes on offer, especially its DLC, yet they’re all cheaper than ever with Fanatical’s…
Martin Scorsese has directed 29 feature films, including some that are consistently ranked among the best movies ever made. Now, he’s taking the leap into A Galaxy Far, Far Away by joining the cast of upcoming Star Wars movie The Mandalorian & Grogu as a four-armed monkey looking food vendor who has an encounter with Pedro Pascal’s Din Djaron, the eponymous Mandalorian.The scene is featured in the latest trailer for The Mandalorian & Grogu, with many viewers noticing Scrosese’s recognizable voice as the actor behind the scenes. The casting was then confirmed on social media by the official Star Wars…
Some of what makes the success of Mewgenics – a game that blew through its creators’ expectations and became the biggest roguelike in Steam history – so gratifying is the feel-good nature of its story. It’s the result of two long-time collaborators reuniting on an idea lost and rediscovered over the course of 15 years, eventually releasing to rapturous critical and commercial success. But, set back by cancellation and copyright complexities, the road to its release has not always been smooth – not least because its creators didn’t know what to do with it once they got it back.”When we…
LittleBigPlanet offers one of the coziest aesthetics in all of gaming, with adorable knitted Sackboys running around as Stephen Fry encourages you to to embrace the creative spirit that binds humanity together. It might come as some surprise, then, to learn that the game’s original creative director, Mark Healey, finds the modern cozy gaming trend pretty dull.”There’s a lot of people that like cozy games – I think they became really popular during COVID, actually – but I find them incredibly boring,” Healey explained in an interview with The Game Business. “I can understand the appeal of them, but I’m…
I’ve been spending a lot of time fixating on little things in my Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly remake demo. When I’m done unlocking cursed doors as protagonist Mio, feeling sick as I meet an abandoned doll’s shark-eye stare, or tripping around wraiths in my ballet flats, I quietly observe the dusty prettiness of the Japanese countryside developer Koei Tecmo built for its remake, due March 12. It’s impossible to not notice the new, starlight glimmer of the red butterfly that guides me to my next task, the fragile lace on my camisole, and other evidence of directors Makoto Shibata…
In another classic meditation on the concept of can vs. should, the streamer who made her name beating Elden Ring using her mind has once again made incredibly unconventional use of her Master’s degree in psychology. Content creator PerriKaryal is back with by far her most dangerous experiment yet: a custom controller rigged to her literal head that apparently controls her actual real-life bodily movement to a degree.As reported by PC Gamer, PerriKaryal’s latest stunt involved hacking her own brain’s balance system using a technique called galvanic vestibular stimulation. In a genuinely frightening TikTok video, the streamer attached nodes originating…
The future for Highguard does not look bright. Developer Wildlight went through mass layoffs barely two weeks after launch, and if the game can stage a comeback at this point, it’ll be something beyond a miracle. Today, however, a bizarre twist in the Highguard saga has emerged, as a new report suggests Chinese megapublisher Tencent financially backed the game.Tencent’s TiMi Studio Group, which makes games including Pokemon Unite and Delta Force, “was the undisclosed lead financial backer” behind Wildlight, according to Game File. Exact details of the arrangement, including the amount of funding, when or if it ended, and why…
