What is the meaning of Reanimal’s ending? The ending to Reanimal’s story is largely up to interpretation, but there is fun to be had trawling through all the theories out there. The story toys with many themes, but it does revolve around the girl and the nightmarish creature we finally see at the end of the game: the sheep. There’s also a secret ending you can unlock by interacting with all five coffins found throughout the game. Here’s what to expect from both endings, though only read on if you’re happy to know what happens at the end of Reanimal,…

The whole reason The Witcher 2 goes off in a decidedly more political direction is because someone high up at developer CD Projekt Red wanted the first Witcher to have one more final ending cutscene and chose to have one made without much involvement from the studio’s narrative team, according to original lead story designer Artur Ganszyniec.Ganszyniec recently wrapped up his first playthrough of the original Witcher in about 20 years on YouTube, a 26-video series that yielded all sorts of interesting development insights, and the latest video sheds new light on how the game’s final cutscene came to be.We…

I think that with a game like Crimson Desert, you’d be well within your right to have an eyebrow pre-raised considering its online, sort of free-to-play (depending on where you live) predecessor Black Desert Online regarding the like of microtransactions. I know I certainly have! At a glance Crimson Desert certainly looks like it could fall into similar pitfalls if only based on vibes alone. However! Developer Pearl Abyss would quite like you to know that, in that regard at least, you have nothing to worry about. Speaking on the Dropped Frames show (ta, Okami13_), marketing director at…

Want to know about the new Overwatch skins? Blizzard has been dabbling with limited-time collaborations over the past few years, introducing skins, highlight intros, and more, partnering up with some of the biggest brands out there. From famous anime and manga series to the world of Hello Kitty and Friends, you never quite know what the developer’s next big collaboration will be. These limited-time collaborations in Overwatch only ever appear for a few weeks before disappearing, sometimes for several months at a time, and in most cases, they’re yet to show up a second time in the free PC game.…

The first Legend of Zelda is about to turn 40, and as someone who owns many of the best retro consoles, new and old, I’ve got plenty of ways to revisit Hyrule. Gatekeepers will tell you that the only real way to play is on an NES, and purists will suggest even getting hold of a Nintendo Famicom Disc System to play the original. Yet, while I do have that add-on sitting pretty under Ninty’s Japanese console, I keep finding myself using the Game and Watch from five years ago.This isn’t my first rodeo speaking about the Zelda Game and…

Video game updates are an incredibly funny thing, mostly because I come from a time where they weren’t a thing at all, apart from the odd second printing that patched some things here and there. Which is why my humerus has been particularly tickled by the news that a new Assassin’s Creed Shadows has arrived today that, amongst a couple of other things, add in the ability to simply let you jump. Yes, that’s right, you can finally make like the red (or green) plumber and leap into the air with the press of a button. It’s actually…

There’s something special about MMOs. Unlike other multiplayer titles, they consistently create that sense of community; that feeling of homeliness. Final Fantasy 14 does it the best: I’ve spent many a day whiling away the hours chilling and chatting in Limsa Lominsa, and when I was a little sprout (new characters have a green plant icon next to their names, hence ‘sprout’) I had random players approach me offering tips and tricks, and in one instance, a pretty cool mount. That organic mixing of people doesn’t happen in other games – you jump on League of Legends with your pre-established…

Nearly a year has passed since Bethesda Game Studios released its long-awaited remake, The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered, but the RPG’s players are still engaging in their usual shenanigans – like, uh, trying to steal a certain set of armor.A fan known online as “Scylax_Vitarrn” first made rounds online after taking to Reddit with a series of hilarious threads in which they follow a guard dubbed “Pally” and hope to snag the Imperial Watch Armor for themselves. It’s been quite some time since their first post, which went up a whopping 10 months ago now, but Scylax_Vitarrn is still…

Last June, Jagex – the developers of medieval MMO Runescape – found themselves at odds with players after deciding not to create any new content for Pride Month. Disputed internally at the studio before the discussion then leaked online, the decision appeared to be a retreat in the face of a world turning on minority groups. Following up in September, Games Industry asked Jagex CEO Jon Bellamy if he stood by the call to simply re-run existing Pride-themed quests and events. “Ultimately, my job is governance and protection as much as anything else, and so sometimes those kinds of harsh…
