As is often the case when a console manufacturer touts upcoming a third-party game for its new system, whether the title is exclusive or not can be confusing. In the case of Vampire The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 from Paradox Interactive (developed by Hardsuit Labs), the game – which was showcased in yesterday’s Inside Xbox presentation for

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, GungHo has announced that it is delaying the release of Switch brawler Ninjala from its original release date of May 27 until June 24. Below you can hear the news direct from the development team, and for more on the game, check out Brian’s enthusiastic preview. [Source: Ninjala official

I would not characterise Assassin’s Creed Valhalla‘s new gameplay trailer as being chock full of gameplay. Being real: it is clearly mostly cinematic sequences made in the game engine, i.e. they are all scenes that we may encounter during the course of playing the game, and on that basis we can’t have ’em under the

While Inside Xbox, Microsoft’s in-house streaming show hosted by some of Xbox’s most well-known developers and community-facing employees, always brings with it new looks at games coming to Xbox consoles, today’s was perhaps the biggest episode yet. With Xbox Series X on the horizon and set to launch later this year, Microsoft gave Xbox fans

Welcome to the year of cyberpunk in which all games must have futuristic tech. Dark Light is another of the sort, though it’s calling itself a cyberpunk apocalypse instead of yer usual neon-splattered corporate dystopia. The Dark Souls and Metroid-inspired action game will have you hacking and shooting up invisible baddies when it launches in

You’re probably aware of the historically-rooted strategy series Total War, a franchise known for combining city-building and nation expansion with gigantic real-time battles. Until recently, the series played close to pure history for its inspiration, but has lately taken new directions into complete fantasy with the Total War: Warhammer titles and a more embellished take on reality

For the next two weeks, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege is swapping out hostages and bombs for safeboxes full of… well it doesn’t actually say what they’re full of. I imagine it’s money, or gold, or something that old-timey English gangsters like, because it’s all part of the Grand Larceny event, inspired by 1920s British

Star Wars Day always brings several surprises. I suspected we’d get a tease for The Mandalorian‘s second season today, but instead got something even better: news that Taika Waititi is directing a new Star Wars film! We also learned a new Disney+ Star Wars series is on the way from Leslye Headland. We don’t know

After the official soundtrack for Doom Eternal was released on April 18th to Collector’s Edition owners, players quickly noticed that something sounded off. It turned out that there was a marked difference between the tracks Eternal’s composer Mick Gorden had mixed himself and those done internally by Id Software. At the time, it was unclear

The sea’s a pretty messed up place, ain’t it? A vast, practically-bottom expanse of mother nature’s weirdest and deadliest experiments, piled in together and told to work it all out themselves. A short, pay-what-you-want release from devs Maceo Bob Mair and Nicolás Delgado, Swallow The Sea (available on Itch) captures that horror by following a

There are a hell of a lot of Warhammer games out there. But while we’ve got grimdark trash and genre-defining classics, there have been very few games set in Games Workshop’s newest setting. The Old World’s been dead a long time – and with few exceptions, nobody’s taken a real crack at Warhammer: Age Of

The organizers behind the Evolution Championship Series (Evo) have announced that its 2020 event is canceled due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Evo 2020 was originally scheduled to take place July 31 to August 2 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nev. Instead of a physical event, the Evo team is creating

According to an update given to GameIndustry.biz today, the leaker(s) responsible for the massive The Last of Us Part II leaks did not come from Sony or Naughty Dog.  This goes against many of the internet rumors, Reddit threads, and forum chatter swirling around the leaks. Sony’s statement to GameIndustry.biz confirms that they have identified the primary

May 4 is right around the corner, and that’s a big deal for Star Wars fans. May 4 is “May the 4th be with you,” and it usually means we get new Star Wars merchandise to buy and perhaps even a sneak peek at what is coming next for Star Wars movies and television series.

A young girl approaches you with her pick of the plague rats. A bartender asks what it’s like, y’know, drinking blood. That you died six months ago is barely a passing concern in Nighthawks. After a successful Kickstarter closed in 2018, the vampire RPG from Wadjet Eye and RPS chum Richard Cobbett has resurfaced once

Developer The Outsiders, a Stockholm-based indie studio founded by former Payday 2 and Battlefield talent, has announced it is halting development on Darkborn, the dark fantasy title it initially announced as Project Wight. Just over a year ago, the studio shared gameplay footage where you play as a Grendel-like monster capable of brutalizing those who would

Anyone else have a sticky note of games they’ve got an eye on called “Stardew but…”? Just me? Alright, well here’s a Stardew but stone age game just announced called Roots Of Pacha. Even I grow slightly weary of pastoral anywheresville so I quite like seeing the farm and life sim trend breaking ground in

Dungeon Defenders: Awakened is leaving the Steam early access program and launching into full release on May 28. With official launch comes a ton of new content, including game modes, bosses, stages, and gear. Players can face off against the Ancient Dragon and Goblin Mech for the first time, select new difficulty levels, and collect

Unlike the Oculus Rift S, the Oculus Quest doesn’t technically need a PC in order to play VR games. Instead, it’s a standalone VR headset that you can play completely wire-free without having a great big gaming PC at your disposal. Naturally, this means it’s not quite as powerful as a PC-based headset, and the

Stellaris: Console Edition (Check out our review of the PC title here!) is getting a hefty chunk of DLC in 2020. The first arrives on May 12, the Synthetic Dawn Story Pack. In this DLC, you start the game as the Machine Empire, a society of robots and attempt to control the galaxy via AI-dominance.

Developer: Saber Interactive Publisher: Focus Home Interactive Release: April 28th On: Windows From: Epic Games Store For: £35, $40, €40 I took my Chevy to the levee, but the levee wasn’t dry. That’s the problem all over Black River, actually: a recent flood has rendered the soil sodden enough to swallow a car whole. Days

Patrick’s Parabox is too smart for me. Granted, regular Sokoban is often too smart for me, but thanks to a very simple concept, Patrick Traynor’s recursive boxes are creating mazes within mazes – tiles that transcend dimensions as my headache turns into a full-blown migraine. While he’s not ready to unleash his Paraboxes onto the

If there are two things you probably shouldn’t be sick of going into SnowRunner, it’s trucks and snow. They’re sort of essential parts of the chilly Spintires: MudRunner follow-up, right? But if you do get tired of ’em after heading into Saber Interactive’s frosty truck sim, fret not. When it launches next week, SnowRunner should

Heads up, story-liking folks. Narrative game celebration LudoNarraCon is kicking off its weekend of game developer panels and game demos today. Story games big and small are offering up demos, sales, and some insight into how they’re created. You’ll be able to catch livestreams and talks from today through Monday, April 27th. “Fans of weird

During an investor call on yesterday, the WWE confirmed that this year’s installment of 2K Games’ WWE 2K franchise is not happening. Taking a year off might be a good thing; WWE 2K20 (pictured above) had various technical issues that left many fans disappointed. This also came after 2K Games split with longtime developer Yuke’s, handing the

Sega and developer Creative Assembly are offering the classic Total War: Shogun 2 as a free Steam download Monday, April 27 (6:00pm BST/noon central) until Friday, May 1 (same time). Once you download the title, it is yours to keep. During a similar timeframe (April 27-May 4), Creative Assembly is holding a Steam sale of other

Nintendo has acknowledged the breach of approximately 160,000 Nintendo Network IDs earlier this month, resulting in the possible exposure of some users’ personal data such as their nickname, date of birth, and email. As a result, Nintendo has disabled the ability to login to Nintendo accounts via a Nintendo Network ID for the time being.

With Fortnite, you never know what to expect next. Thanos could appear in the world out of the blue or the entire game could be rendered unplayable because it was sucked into a black hole. Developer Epic Games has worked wonders with its events, often surprising players with them when they least expect to have

Bad hours, shady bosses. The gig economy’s tough enough as-is, without the risk of dropping a package off the side of a ten-mile-high balcony. Released today, Cloudpunk lets you traipse around a stunning voxel cityscape, making deliveries and solving mysteries like some sorta flying Deliveroo driver-turned-detective. Let’s just hope you’re getting a bonus for all

Update: 4/22/2020 Valve has issued a statement regarding the leak, saying they are investigating things but that they currently have no reason for players to be alarmed or to discontinue play of the titles in question.
