‘I think we all want that’: Razer CEO claims players are in favour of AI tools in game development

Zootopia 2 has a surprise Moana crossover as director reveals the sequel-teasing feather was borrowed from a major character in the Disney movie
It looks like Zootopia 2 and Moana have something in common after all as an animator behind the new sequel reveals that the sequel “borrowed” an item from the Disney princess movie.During the Zootopia 2 post-credits scene, we see a single feather fall beside Judy Hopps’ carrot-shaped pen, all but confirming that birds exist in the Zootopia universe. However, it sounds like the feather was a pretty last-minute addition, as the animators had to borrow it from another Disney movie altogether.”A little trivia about this image. For this moment, we didn’t have time to build a bird, so the shadow…
Real-time tactics game Strategos is out now in early access with some clever communication and morale systems
Historical real-time tactics game Strategos is out in early access today, boasting over 120 factions and 250 units based on “the major and minor powers of the ancient Mediterranean”, according to developers Strategos Games. If you are a brazen tomfool, you might summarise it as Total War without the sprawling campaign map element. If you are an excessively brazen tomfool – brazen to the point that a formation of Greek Hoplites would use you as cover while manouvering around some pesky Achaemenid Persian archers – you might also say that “Strategos” sounds like a spiky brand of cereal, rich in…
Marathon is enjoying some unexpected Ws, with pre-orders flying on Steam and a cast that exposes Arc Raiders' big weakness
In the last couple of weeks, my excitement for Marathon has only grown, as has my confidence that Bungie’s extraction shooter will be around for the long-haul. A project I was previously concerned about is now right up near the top of my most anticipated games for this year, and it seems that swing is being felt far more widely. Following Bungie’s confirmation of the Marathon release date, and pre-orders going live, you’ll now find the FPS game sitting in the top five best-selling games on Steam, according to Valve’s Top Sellers chart. Plus, its reveal of a stacked cast…

"Not everyone" is in Avengers: Doomsday, as three Marvel actors reveal they'll be watching from the sidelines
If you want to believe them, three Marvel actors have revealed they won’t be returning in Avengers: Doomsday – despite the vast majority of the MCU being on board for the mega-crossover.After being asked by Graham Norton on his talkshow about whether they would be appearing in “the new fancy” Marvel movie alongside seemingly everyone else, Martin Freeman – who plays Everett Ross in multiple Black Panther movies – replied, “Apparently not. Not everyone.”Freeman was sitting alongside B-15 actor Wumni Mosaku, who jokingly said Norton’s assertion that “most people are in” was “rude.” You may like To top off the…
Cyberpunk 2077 VR mod flatlines, after CD Projekt file DMCA strike and request its creator drop their paywall
A mod providing VR support for Cyberpunk 2077 is no more, after CD Projekt issued a takedown notice they claim hinged on them not being happy that the mod’s creator had stuck it behind a paywall. In response, modder Luke Ross has accused the company of being all about making money.
Shadoweave Scraps in Hytale are a vital resource for making any cobolt gear. But, like just about everything in the game, it’s up to you to try and work out where you can get it. This is harder to find than say copper in Hytale which you can just mine as, unless you get lucky and walk in the right direction and attack the right enemy, it could be a while before you find what you need. Once you know what you’re looking for, and where, it’s just a case of being tough enough to get it, so here’s what…
Seeing Leon's finishers in Resident Evil Requiem has pushed me to replay the series' most misunderstood title
I’ve loaded into Resident Evil 6 and have no clue what I’m doing. The timestamp on my save file tells me that I left off about halfway through Leon’s first campaign mission, shortly after I picked it up on sale in 2024. Two years later, I’m traversing a zombie-studded train tunnel while my female co-star Helena barks “roger” at me when I interact with stuff, and each zombie seems to… melt when it dies?As one of the less popular games in the Resident Evil timeline, Capcom’s 2012 action shooter is definitely an outlier. Neither a critical nor commercial darling, I…
The SteelSeries Game Buds have returned to their holiday deal price, but they won't stay this low for long
I got my first pair of SteelSeries Arctis Game Buds last year, and they turned me into an earbuds convert. It wasn’t just the fact that they take up far less room in my backpack than my favorite headset, or that they negate any fiddly Bluetooth pairing with my Switch 2 or Steam Deck OLED, but that they manage to pack in a fantastic, travel-friendly sound despite their tiny size.Ever since falling hard for these buds, I try to recommend them to just about everyone I know, but their full $199.99 MSRP makes those conversations a tad awkward. Fortunately for…
