I be a poor journo. Newly come from the official Ubisoft music YouTube channel. I spend my life in jeopardy. Of a publisher suddenly turning around and saying that a sudden mass reupload of Black Flag’s sea shanties was in fact just a case of behind-the-scenes issues, rather than another harbinger of a remake announcement. Tp be fair, it did follow many reports about the badly kept secret that is the Black Flag remake and a PEGI rating that sure looks like it’s for such a game.
As if Treyarch hadn’t already packed enough variations of the Zombies formula into Black Ops 7, it looks like even more modes are on the way. While I and countless other Zombies fans are always happy to see new round-based maps arrive, there may soon be an overwhelming amount of ways to play them. In celebration of 115 Day, Treyarch has revealed what’s on the horizon for next month’s Black Ops 7 Season 2 update, and while its lips are sealed on the new round-based map, it’s spilt the beans on several new modes. The first sees two of Black…

We knew it was happening, and now we have a date: Amazon’s New World is being shut down on January 31, 2027. As people lament the fantasy MMO’s demise, Alistair McFarlane, the chief operations officer and company director of Facepunch Studios, the company behind Rust and Garry’s Mod, appears to be trying to organize some form of preservation for the dying game.He made his apparent bid on Twitter. “$25 million, final offer,” he states, tagging Amazon Game Studios. He adds in a separate tweet: “Games should never die.” He’s right about that, regardless of how serious this bid is –…
I continue to have a soft spot for Soulframe, the new, sort-of-early access fantasy RPG from Warframe developers Digital Extremes, despite the fact that the lore writing is often wyrd to the point of giving me a concussion. Especially when it creeps into studio press announcements. For example, here is a snippet from the developer’s summary of Soulframey doings in the year 2025: “Together, we stepped into sap-dreams and freed Bromius from rotting roots. We Bestitched with a certain witch and crept into the crypts of The Circade.” …Right then! I expect you shall be tending to your ravens…
Nvidia GPU supply in 2026 seemingly just took another hit, as according to a new leak, delivery of its GPUs to its graphics card production partners “has been cut down 15%-20%.” What’s more, the same source suggests there will be “no new product in 2026,” seemingly confirming the cancelation or very long delay of the RTX 50 Super series. Along with other reports that the RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5060 Ti 16GB have been canceled, it paints a depressing picture for the graphics card market this year. This demoralizing Nvidia leak strongly suggests that anyone lucky enough to grab…

Animal Crossing: New Horizon’s 3.0 update and Nintendo Switch 2 Edition are both out, putting a smile on the faces of villagers everywhere who feared the game had long been abandoned. But the new content isn’t a total slam dunk as some fans aren’t too smitten with the Slumber Islands.Slumber Islands are essentially a freeform sandbox or ‘creative mode’ for Animal Crossing: New Horizons, introduced in this week’s free 3.0 update, letting players freely decorate an empty island stuck in an alternative dreamworld. You can’t take or use up any resources while in the Slumber Islands, either, so fixing them…
Amazon’s colonial fantasy MMO New World (latterly rebranded New World: Aeternum) is no longer available for purchase as of yesterday, and will be taken offline for good from 31st July 2027, the publishers have announced. The news follows the release of the game’s final major update back in October, amid mass layoffs at Amazon.
The clock on New World: Aeternum is officially ticking, with developer Amazon Games announcing that there’s just one year left before its ambitious MMORPG is taken offline forever. But there’s potentially a small spark of hope; Alistair McFarlane, COO and director of Rust dev Facepunch Studios, has made a public statement to Amazon Games suggesting he’d be prepared to pay ’25 million’ for the rights. Amazon announced in October 2025 that it was halting plans to make anything new for New World: Aeternum moving forward. Despite achieving one of the biggest Steam peaks we’ve ever seen when it launched, it’s…
