But with how long most triple-A (and even double-AA) video games take to make nowadays and how absurdly huge the possible wins are, it comes as no surprise it’s taking a bit of time to partially retreat from a model that’s grown

Sorry, fans of the live-action Halo TV series, which proved a bit controversial at time, but did end up winning a fair few folks over.

Hello. Remember Splitgate? Well, its sequel, Splitgate 2, has just been revealed and is set to arrive in 2025. If you missed the boat on the original, it was a pretty big thing for a hot minute a few years ago, thanks to being a fun shooter with gameplay that pretty much answered any questions

People who don’t really get it wonder why the seemingly minor modifications couldn’t have been added in an update, while die-hards, importing their tribalistic fan culture from real-life football perhaps, agonise over each new face and feature. I am definitely one

Marvel has dropped a new trailer for Deadpool & Wolverine, and it certainly seems like there’ll be more than one of the merc with a mouth to expect. It’s not a secret that the upcoming third Deadpool film is set to be a multiversal story, as the whole concept is that the Time Variance Authority,

Sorry, Crash Bandicoot fans, it seems like a fifth game was in the works, but was cancelled somewhere along the line.

Do you remember when Elden Ring was first announced? That beautiful moment back during E3 2019, when FromSoftware — at that point riding the high of Dark Souls‘ and Bloodborne‘s acclaim — presented a fresh spin on its signature hardcore fantasy RPG formula.

The director of Cyberpunk 2077’s sequel was apparently convinced he was getting fired right up to being asked to lead the follow-up. Cyberpunk 2077 lead quest designer Pawel Sasko is currently set to direct the controversial RPG’s as-of-yet untitled sequel, an obviously big task that surely comes with on stresses (we all remember the state
