Telltale are ready to release their first new game since their sort-of revival, in collaboration with fellow adventure game experts Deck Nine. Episodic adventure The Expanse: A Telltale Series will debut on July 27th with its first episode, with four more episodes dropping every two weeks – hopefully keeping those water cooler conversations alive. The

After co-creator Ed Boon teased Mortal Kombat 12 news last week, we have confirmation that a formal reveal will happen tomorrow, May 18. A new tweet from the official Mortal Kombat reads “Tomorrow is a new dawn” and contains a teaser styled after the previous video, featuring a clock hand that skips past 12 and strikes 1, followed

Whoooo we’re officially in the double-digits gang! We’ve somehow managed to make it to episode 10 of Indiescovery without going completely feral and wrecking the joint. I say that, but this week’s episode is a little, shall we say, unhinged? Rebecca, Liam, and Rachel hadn’t really had a proper chat all week so there’s a

During a developer livestream today, Blizzard revealed its roadmap for the coming months. The roadmap, which was presented by game director Aaron Keller and executive producer Jared Neuss, details what is coming during Season 5, 6, 7, and beyond.

Five years after competitive multiplayer mech shooter Hawken shut down, a new game will invite us back to stomp around in its scrappy mechs.

Following an “in-depth” investigation, the European Commission has approved Microsoft’s proposed acquisition of Activision-Blizzard. The investigation began last November, with the commission citing Microsoft’s potential expansion into the cloud gaming market as a primary concern.

The up-and-coming farmlife indie Roots Of Pacha has been pulled from Steam, following a dispute “over the rights” of the game between developer Soda Den and publisher Crytivo. The game is a prehistoric take on Stardew Valley’s crop-growing, dungeon-exploring, people-romancing formula. Its PAX East demo caught our eye earlier this year, and the full release

Samsung’s 870 Qvo SSD is one of the best options for high-capacity solid state storage, with a simple 2.5-inch form factor that doesn’t take up a valuable M.2 or PCIe slot and a fast-enough SATA connection. While performance is good, at up to 550MB/s for reads and a little less for writes, the real benefit

AMD’s RX 6950 XT has been enjoying a surprising revival as of late, as precipitous price drops have positioned it as a cheaper competitor to Nvidia’s new RTX 4070 GPU that offers better performance in rasterised titles – by a significant ~20% margin, too. Today, the RX 6950 XT has dropped below the £600 mark

Early access shooter Hrot channels the wicked energy of Quake and Dusk with a booming shotgun, fast movement, and wobbly weapon models. Old-school inspirations covered in a Soviet coat of paint that’s so oppressive, it borders on horror. Two of Hrot’s episodes are out now, but the shooter is leaving early access with a third

After playing the the demo at last year’s PAX West, then playing the same demo again at this year’s PAX East, and then playing it a third time from the comfort of my own home as part of this year’s LudoNarraCon, I think I’m slightly obsessed with Demonschool. I’ve had a blast beating up supernatural

We know Mortal Kombat 12 is apparently coming sometime this year, and Ed Boon is stoking the fires of excitement by seemingly teasing an impending announcement. In a Warner Bros. Discovery earnings call in February, CEO David Zaslav told investors that Mortal Kombat 12 was planned for release this year. Initially, Boon didn’t confirm or

Her return triggers a flood of childhood memories,

A Plague Tale: Requiem is a gorgeous game, but if you’d rather experience Amica and Huge de Rune’s dark journey at a higher framerate, a new update adds a few tweaks, including a performance mode for consoles.

Team Cherry has delayed Hollow Knight: Silksong.  The last we heard, Silksong was due out in the first half of 2023 but last night, Team Cherry delayed the game without offering up a new window.  “We had planned to release in the 1st half of 2023, but development is still continuing,” Team Cherry marketing and
