I hope you like warlocks. Well, if you’re someone who regularly delves into Diablo, I hope you at the very least don’t detest warlocks with all of your hellish heart. Because yesterday evening’s Diablo 30th anniversary shindig was rather heavy on warlocks, with the class coming to not just Diablo 4’s next expansion, but also Diablo 2 and Diablo Immortal. Meanwhile, Diablo 2: Resurrected has moseyed on over to Steam.

PUBG company Krafton, which has its hands in all kinds of games through various deals and subsidiaries, snuck a jumpscare into today’s PlayStation State of Play live showcase. Krafton Montreal Studio announced open-world action RPG Project Windless, which seems to play like a Dynasty Warriors game but is in the neighborhood of Eastern fantasy works like Black Myth: Wukong, and all I can think about is its protagonist: a giant chicken man.In a PlayStation Blog post, Krafton Montreal says Project Windless has been in the works “for years” already and is coming to PS5. It’s set in the Korean fantasy…

Like all white, middle-class Londoners, I subsist on a diet comprised mainly of salted caramel and katsu curry. It appears Grasshopper Manufacture, makers of maximalist action adventure Romeo is a Dead Man, appreciate that delightful marriage of rice, breadcrumbs, and carroty sauce as well. Our lad Romeo can gather up katsu ingredients before delivering them to his waiting mum, who’ll turn them into one of ten mouth-watering, buff-applying curries. But can those recipes nourish us, fleshy humans of IRL make, with the same benefits? To find out, I prepped, cooked, and taste-tested all ten of Romeo’s mum’s katsu creations in…

A new Terraria update has just landed that strips any confusion out of the secret seeds added in the massive Bigger and Boulder patch. Terraria 1.4.5.5 also brings back the ability to toggle back to the old-style crafting menu if you prefer it, and even more crucially adds several new toggles and keybindings for features such as dashing. That’s right; the days of double-tap dashing yourself into danger in the sandbox game are finally at an end. Re-Logic has a tendency to keep poking small but substantial new features into its post-update Terraria patch notes, and the aftermath of Bigger…

If you’re a big Resident Evil fan and you watched the new Requiem trailer from today’s PlayStation State of Play, you were probably shouting at the screen and pointing at what appears to be recurring character Sherry Birkin, which is definitely super exciting, but I also noticed something different closer to the beginning of the trailer: the Licker zombie, I’m convinced.Everyone knows Lickers start out as zombies, right? According to official Capcom lore, they’re infected with the same T-Virus as regular zombies, but their condition has progressed into something far worse due to a secondary mutation caused by excessive eating…

WARNING: Major story spoliers for Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties, as well as the original Yakuza 3, lie ahead. It’s natural to spend a lot of time thinking about what games could have been, had different decisions been made. Whether the change is preferable to the reality often doesn’t come into it, the fantasy of another possible world is the draw. Despite that, few studios choose to make major shifts – at least as far as the main stories of those games go – when they remake their previous games. This won’t necessarily be a philosophical decision: the remaster…

Control Resonant is high on my personal wishlist, so confirmation that it’s keeping gen-AI assets out of the process is music to my ears. Jesse Faden’s trek through the Oldest House ended up as my favorite Remedy game, and while spinoff FBC Firebreak didn’t make the splash the developer was hoping for, the sequel looks to be a serious contender in 2026. During the latest Remedy earnings briefing, interim CEO Markus Mäki and CFO Santtu Kallionpää discuss the action game’s development, Remedy’s new boss, and the general feelings on AI tools at the studio. Control Resonant is, in all but…
