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…
Prime Video’s God of War TV show has cast Max Parker as Heimdall, the Watchman of Asgard.The upcoming live-action series, based on the wildly popular video game franchise of the same name, follows Kratos as he tries to teach his son Atreus to be a better god, while Atreus tries to teach his father how to be a better human.Per Deadline, Heimdall, who is one of the sons of Odin, is “unappreciated by his father and underestimated by the rest of the family, and as a result is constantly looking for ways to improve his position in the hierarchy and…
January 21, 2026: 11:26am PT: Epic Games’ VFX supervisor has responded to Verbinski’s claims, stating that “it’s inaccurate for anyone in the industry to claim that one tool is to blame for some erroneously perceived issues with the state of VFX and CGI.” Unreal Engine 5 remains one of the most controversial topics in PC gaming. 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…

The winds were in favor for Starfield to be another generational RPG from the genre titans at Bethesda – industry maestro Todd Howard was in charge, it had an enormous budget with most estimates tripling that of Skyrim’s, and the developers had more time to work on it than any previous Bethesda title – but there’s no denying that its legacy pales in comparison to games like Skyrim, Oblivion, and Morrowind.Former Bethesda loremaster and Skyrim co-lead designer Kurt Kuhlmann, who was around until about the time Starfield released, says that’s because Bethesda Game Studios simply got too big for lead…
It’s no secret that Steam dwarfs the Epic Games Store when it comes to the amount of purchases and the number of active users. Epic’s never been shy of that fact. The company’s CEO, Tim Sweeney, has been equally unshy about criticizing some of Valve’s practices. Now, in the process of acknowledging how making a game free on EGS for a week increases sales on other platforms, including Steam, Sweeney appears to have taken a rather fierce jab at Valve boss Gabe Newell. This all began last week following comments made by David Oshry, the CEO of New Blood Interactive.…
’90s kids, it’s time to pour yourselves a champagne glass full of the finest orange soda, because Nickelodeon superstars Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell have a new movie in the works, and it’s even weirder than their usual hilarious absurdity – because they’re meeting Frankenstein (or more accurately, Frankenstein’s monster).Kenan and Kel announced the movie themselves while Mitchell was filling in as a guest host on Good Sports, Thompson’s podcast which is usually co-hosted by Kevin Hart. As one might imagine, the film is simply titled Kenan and Kel Meet Frankenstein, and that is also the entire plot.”Delivery drivers Kenan…
One of the big focuses of Razer’s slew of gaming gear announcements from the recent CES tech trade show was its use of AI. From an AI gaming headset to AI game assistants and AI game development tools, it covered a wide variety of approaches to using the new technology. Now, in a recent interview, the company’s CEO claims that gamers should be celebrating the potential role of AI in game development. As a maker of some of the best gaming mice, keyboards, laptops, and more, Razer is certainly well placed to make a judgment call on how AI is…
In player discussions of free loadouts in Arc Raiders, which are treated as an essential mechanic by some people and the devil incarnate by others, two solutions to this perceived scourge are often proposed. Developer Embark could guarantee that players using free loadouts spawn late into active raids, or the devs could offer exclusive raids with a minimum gear value to weed out the dreaded frees. I discussed the feedback on late spawns in Arc Raiders with design lead Virgil Watkins, and I also wanted to get his take on the idea of premium or high-value raids that function like…
As much as single-player solitude’s a big reason why I love getting lost in The Witcher 3, running around its world with a small crew of mates also seems like it’d be a nice time. A good thing it is then that a new mod for the decade old RPG allows it to host online multiplayer sessions with several players running amok at once.
