Screenshot Saturday Sundays! We’re the last stop on the road to another working week – so why not stay a while, rest your legs, and soak up some of our lovely selection of screenshots, vids and gifs?

Doom Eternal‘s upcoming DLC might take place in the immediate wake of the base campaign, but that doesn’t mean you’ll need to have actually played it. Arriving this October, Id Software this weekend confirmed that you’ll be able to pick up the first bit of two-part romp The Ancient Gods without having actually bought the

Yesterday we got an extended look at Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, but news about Insomniac’s exciting action/platformer continues to trickle out. In an interview with Famitsu, Insomniac revealed that its upcoming PS5 game features a performance mode that boosts the framerate from 30fps to 60fps. Naturally this performance mode comes with a hit to visual quality, which haven’t
Lo and behold, just a few weeks after I finally broke down and got myself a ship cat, Sea Of Thieves have released a new developer update confirming that they’ll be adding dogs to the high seas as well. Rare say that other updates are coming in September as well, and that monthly updates with
During Gamescom 2020, Sony provided an extended look at Insomniac’s upcoming action/platformer Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart.

Insomniac’s use
Today’s Gamescom Opening Night presentation offered a look at a new Destiny 2: Beyond Light trailer. And while the video showcases a wealth of great action and shooting, the big takeaways were closer looks at the three new subclasses coming to the game, each of which uses Stasis, the new Darkness-infused power source that is
Unknown 9: Awakening is a newly-announced action-adventure game from Reflector Entertainment that already has an extended universe oven fresh and ready to go. All we have of the game right now is a teaser trailer, so we have no idea how it’ll actually play when it’s out. We do know that the protagonist is Hoona,
Final Fantasy was a popular name even back in the late ’80s and early ’90s, and it was sometimes applied to games that weren’t technically part of the Final Fantasy series in order to catch the attention of a wider audience in North America. One such example is Final Fantasy Legend on Game Boy, which
Ever since I squeezed my face into David Braben’s Rift hole (humblebrag), I’ve been a VR convert. I’ve moved house three times since then, and each time I’ve managed to tether up some sort of VR system, from the pokiest of rooms to my reasonably spacious home office. That last one is not a humblebrag,
Microsoft today pulled the curtain back on three new one-of-a-kind Xbox One consoles, all to help celebrate the impending arrival of Wonder Woman 1984.

Epic Games have successfully scored a temporary restraining order to stop Apple’s plan to terminate their developer accounts on Friday, a move that would’ve stopped them from continuing to support Unreal Engine on Mac and iOS.

Developer Dead Mage and publisher 11 Bit Studios have partnered with Humane Society International to raise funds for our animal friends. All proceeds from the new Paws and Claws DLC for Children of Morta goes to the Humane Society. The DLC adds a new animal shelter system to the Bergsons’ family home that a variety
Nowadays, I’m a Skyrim watcher and not a Skyrim doer. I used to be a doer, but that involved more than just installing the game. I’d start modding, and I wouldn’t stop. Couldn’t stop. I’d spend more time looking for lore appropriate coin distribution than shouting at dragons. Eventually, something would break, and I’d uninstall
During the DC FanDome announce-o-rama last night, the creators of the Batman: Arkham series announced Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League. They call this a “genre-bending action-adventure shooter”, sending a bunch of DC Comics villains to kill their mightiest heroes.

It was a big day for Suicide Squad at DC FanDome, a day-long livestream filled with reveals of upcoming games, comics, movies, and more. The Suicide Squad fun began with a behind-the-scenes look at James Gunn’s upcoming film. Later in the day we were shown the first trailer for Rocksteady Studios’ Suicide Squad: Kill the
Gotham Knights may have plenty of connecting points to the Arkham series of games in terms of gameplay and visuals, but the story will be something new. Developer WB Montreal tells Comic Book that Gotham Knights will go in its own direction and is “not connected to the Arkham series.” Following today’s presentation WB Games
Looks like your favorite procedurally generated democratic sports betting simulator may be stepping back up to the plate. The Grand Siesta is coming to an end, it seems.

Earth’s mightiest heroes today come crawling down your Internet pipe, offering everyone a free slice of Marvel’s Avengers in an open beta weekend. The idea of a superhero game that’s some sort of live service action-RPG with loot is a bit weird, so I’m curious. The beta start is staggered across the world, opening up
With Marvel’s Avengers rapidly approaching launch, Marvel and Crystal Dynamics have released a new video detailing the major threats players will face when the game launches. Unlike Hydra, which uses military might and covert operations to accomplish its goals, or Thanos, who uses sheer force of will and mystical means to achieve his missions, A.I.M.
Last year, you voted the Logitech G502 as your favourite gaming mouse of all time, and it’s on sale today here in the UK, dropping from its usual price of around £60 (which has been more like £80 in recent months) down to a positively bargain-tastic £38. I’ll take five! That’s not the only great
Earlier this month, developer Treyarch Studios tweeted confirmation that it was working with Raven Software on a new title. Though rumors suggested that the game was Call of Duty: Black Ops – Cold War, that wasn’t official at the time. Today, it is.

The rad roguelikelike hack ‘n’ slash action-RPG Hades will leave early access in autumn, developers Supergiant Games say, alongside the launch of a newly-announced Nintendo Switch version.
