Nintendo continues to slowly update its big Switch 2 launch game, this time with an update adding team races to Mario Kart World’s most chaotic mode.The 1.5.0 update drifted into the kart racer earlier today, and the headlining feature is that Nintendo “added team races to Knockout Tour when playing in a room during ‘Online Play’ and ‘Wireless Play.'”The rules remain largely the same as team races in other Mario Kart World modes, with team members adding to a shared score based on their placement at the end of the race while the highest-scoring team nabs the trophy.

With their latest Fallout modathon having wrapped up at the close of last year, mod-hosting site Nexus Mods have decided to try something new with their latest event designed to supercharge mod creation around a specific game or theme. Rather than asking folks to submit fresh individual mods like usual, the modathon that’s about to kick off is all about putting together chunky multi-mod lists which can overhaul a game in one fell swoop. These user-assembled modlists, dubbed Collections, are a feature Nexus Mods have been pushing for a number of years now, so it’s not surprising they’re now serving…

With the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake leading a lineup of six canceled games at Ubisoft, the internal studio responsible for the game put out a statement reiterating the news and commiserating with disappointed players.”We want to share this with you directly,” the X/Twitter post begins. “We’ve made the difficult decision to stop development on Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake. We know this is deeply disappointing. The game carries enormous meaning for fans and for the teams who worked on it.”While the project had real potential, we weren’t able to reach the level of…

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has now won more Game of the Year awards than any other game ever, according to a very organized member of the ResetEra forum. The turn-based strategy game has proved to be something beyond a smash hit, bringing what some may see as a niche genre well into the mainstream. Elden Ring held the previous GOTY crown for quite some time, and by quite some margin, with a total of 429 Game of the Year awards being doled out to the open-world souls game. Third in the list is The Last of Us Part 2, with…

While its cutting-edge toolset can certainly help to enhance realism, perceived performance issues and a general feeling that lots of UE5 games look distractingly similar hasn’t endeared most gamers to the tech. It’s reductive to say there’s one homogenous UE5 look, but from Avowed to…
