Just two weeks on from the complete shutdown of Turtle WoW, the fan-run private server network for World of Warcraft, its creators have made a decision about what’s next – and it’s a big one. “This isn’t the end of our journey together, but rather the beginning of a new one,” the group of developers confirms. They’re forging a new studio together, Moonwhisper Games, which will be building a new MMORPG of its very own. While that’s inherently a very scary prospect, the team says it’s “under no illusion” about the challenges that lie ahead. “Over the past few weeks,…
Bioware veteran and a former long-time producer on the Dragon Age series, Mark Darrah, reckons the struggling video game industry could borrow a thing or two from the way movies make money.In a recent video posted to his own channel, Darrah compared the way both industries go to market. Movies normally make the bulk of their revenue in theatres when people purchase tickets, but they also extend their commercial life by hitting ancillary markets like DVD sales, digital pay-per-view, or streaming services. Not to mention the product placement that sometimes makes their road to profitability a bit easier. Games aren’t…
The Sunday Papers is our weekly roundup of great writing about (mostly) videogames from across the web. Sundays are for stumbling upon a ruined church, squirrelled away among the hawthorns behind a currently active church in the neighbourhood. I was flabbergasted – I’ve walked past that churchyard a thousand times without noticing. In this case, I just happened to take a different route around the cemetery. The old church is roofless and barred, but I managed to thrust my phone through a grill and take pictures of a peaked mausoleum, squat in the middle of the transept crossing, together with…
New Path of Exile 2 patch notes have landed, as GGG drops a hotfix aimed at ensuring you don’t run out of Waystones in the endgame. As the most important item to keep progressing across the Atlas map, it’s critical that you’re able to keep your stock replenished, and being forced to drop down tiers because you aren’t getting enough at your current rank can be a real momentum killer. Specifically, Grinding Gear Games is looking “to alleviate concerns about sustain of Waystones from map bosses, specifically when playing in higher tiers.” You’ll want to take note of these changes…
The countdown to Avengers: Doomsday is on, and directors Joe and Anthony Russo’s latest cryptic Instagram tease has us scratching our heads. But the smart money is on something Doctor Doom-related.Unlike previous cryptic Russo Bros posts, which we thought could be hinting at an Avengers Vs X-Men plot in Doomsday, this one is simply a solid green color swatch. Check it out below. Naturally, that brings to mind Doctor Doom, who is famously clad in green. Though the shade seems a little different from what we saw of Doom’s cloak in the Fantastic Four: First Steps post-credits scene. Has Doom…
Last week, Arrowhead Game Studios announced it was getting serious (again) about finally fixing Helldivers 2’s long-standing technical issues with an update focused on stability, latency reduction, and the implementation of upscaling features. The developer has made good on that promise today with a big new patch.”As the fight for Managed Democracy rages on, Super Earth’s finest engineers have been hard at work making every drop into hostile territory smoother,” the studio writes in its latest blog post. “Together with our friends at Nixxes Software, we’ve deployed an update with improvements across PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. From upscaling technologies and…
The Way isn’t just a nifty catchphrase. For Din Djarin and his fellow Mandalorians, it’s a way of life that adds ‘never showing your face to an enemy’ to its list of many rules and regulations.Pedro Pascal’s Mandalorian has already broken that creed on multiple – albeit necessary – occasions, but The Mandalorian and Grogu movie has unmasked the Star Wars character for longer than at any point in Din’s prior history across three seasons on Disney Plus.As per numbers crunched by Star Wars Holocron, Din Djarin is unmasked for 270 seconds in The Mandalorian and Grogu. By comparison, The…

Marvel star Tom Holland has revealed he wants to mentor the next Spider-Man, just like his MCU co-star Robert Downey Jr. did for him.”For whoever’s next, whether that is a Miles Morales or a Spider-Gwen or a Spider-Woman or something like that, I would love to be a part of setting up the next chapter,” Holland told Empire magazine. “Whatever that looks like, I don’t know. But if I could do what Downey did for me, then I would be so content swinging off into the sunset.”Holland made his MCU debut in Captain America: Civil War, which saw Downey Jr.’s…
Following Amazon MGM studio’s new Nicolas Cage-starrer Spider-Noir hitting Prime Video earlier this week, reports have been swirling online surrounding the Spider-Man show’s suspected huge budget, which has left fans of fellow Amazon series The Boys pretty confused.According to 3DVF, Amazon committed almost $400 million to Spider-Noir. Now, it is not clear where this number has come from, as neither Amazon nor Sony Pictures Television has confirmed a budget. However, back in 2024, Puck News reported that Spider-Noir’s budget was part of the reason why filmmaking duo Phil Lord and Christopher Miller ended up having a falling out with the…
