Today, Blundell confirmed the news on a Twitch stream hosted by another member of the Dark Outlaw Games team, JCbackfire.”We have to respect confidentiality so we can’t go into every gory detail,” Blundell said during the stream, as highlighted by Kotaku. Neither dev revealed much about the project, but JCbackfire did confirm that it was not a live service game.Despite promises for extensive live service games, Sony seems to have been backing away from…

The Asus ROG Strix XG27UCG, one of the dual-mode gaming monitor pioneers, has hit its lowest-ever price
High-resolution monitors have become a lot cheaper over recent years, in contrast to a most internal component types, which are currently in a race to see who can plunge us into financial destitution the fastest. It wasn’t that long ago that the 4K, 160Hz, 27in panel of the Asus ROG Strix XG27UCG would put it out of reach for anyone who didn’t have access to a sovereign wealth fund, yet here it is, discounted to just £319 / $299. That’s only about half what it would cost to buy a new graphics card capable of actually running 4K games.
First trailer for HBO's new Harry Potter TV series feels nothing like the films, and that's a good thing
Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone | Official Teaser | HBO Max – YouTube Watch On The first HBO Harry Potter trailer is here, and it’s nothing like the beloved film franchise… and we promise that’s a good thing.In the trailer, which you can watch above, we meet a sad, bullied Harry Potter who gets his hair crudely chopped off by Petunia Dursley… and it looks like, rather than jump right into his adventures at Hogwarts, we’re going to spend a bit more time in his hellish existence in the muggle realm at the hands of his aunt and uncle…
I was the untitled goose in Big Walk, the balmy new open world co-op puzzler from House House
House House were kind enough to keep a video of my hands-on session with Big Walk, filmed by one of the participating PRs. Generally, a full video of a preview event including player audio is a lifesaver for a journalist, struggling to keep notes while pushing buttons. But in this case, I don’t want to watch the Big Walk video, because then I would hear what the other players were saying when I wasn’t there. You see, I fell down a cliff midway through Big Walk, and spent the night floundering about in the ocean. Eventually, a developer armed with…

Coexist with a capricious, rusty moon in Amberspire, the new isometric city-builder from the creator of The Banished Vault
I am shocked to discover that this is the first time we’ve written about Amberspire, the new sci-fi city builder from Nic Tringali, developer of starfaring monastic strategy game The Banished Vault. Shocked, I tell you! It’s set on a gas giant moon, looks a bit like isometric Sable, features dice with arcane symbols, and challenges you to “cohabit” with an ecology of ooze, silica and rust, rather than turning everything into a mall. It’s the kind of speculative fiction racket an eco-vibing hipster like myself goes crackers over, and here I am announcing Amberspire to you with the release…
“How much have I spent on League of Legends?” Words that have, no doubt, crossed your mind at some point, then been hastily batted away as you realize you probably don’t want to know. An RP bundle here, a skin there: it all starts to mount up, especially if you’re planning on picking up some of the MOBA’s more costly items. If you’re looking for some free psychic damage, we’ve got you covered – especially since Riot removed the easy way to check how much cash you’ve sunk into its game. Perhaps that was a good thing. As you’re likely…
