A new trailer for Final Fantasy XVI was released during today’s PlayStation State of Play, and it revealed a whole lot of war, turmoil, and primals.  It also gave us extended looks at gameplay and a summer 2023 release window, which might come as a surprise considering producer Naoki Yoshida said in April that FF

A very merry Pride month to all, and what better way to celebrate than by putting some money in queer developers’ pockets and getting more than 500 games (and zines and other such goodies) in return? There’s a bit of everything in here, from a bird-run grocery store to a meditation on the decay and

Now that the calendar has shifted from May to June, Pride month has officially kicked off. In support of LGBTQIA+ communities, Microsoft will be donating money to charity, selling a new controller design, and more to celebrate. Starting on June 9, the faceplate design you see above will be available in the Xbox Design Lab as a customization option through the

Intel’s 12th-gen motherboards are getting cheaper, which is handy if you’re planning a new build around one of Intel’s excellent 12100, 12400F or 12600F CPUs for gaming. One of the best deals we’ve spotted is for the Asus Prime B660M-A WiFi D4, which launched at £197 and is now down to £86 at CCL in

Summer Game Fest kicks off on June 9, and host Geoff Keighley has unveiled the full list of game publishers and studios participating in the event.  This year’s #SummerGameFest will feature events, activities and updates for fans from more than 30 partners, with more to be announced.

Here we have another AOC gaming monitor, except it’s not just by AOC, but by posh car makers Porsche? It’s the Porsche Design AOC Agon Pro PD32M, a premium 4K / 144Hz beast of a display, and is in fact the second hardware collaboration between these unlikely bedfellows. It’s also far more ambitious (and expensive)

If you’ve ever wondered if people in the world of Star Wars play sports that don’t involve racing repulsorcrafts, we now know that they play at least one: Blitzball.  No, you didn’t misread that – it says Blitzball, you know, the underwater hockey-like sport played by Tidus, Wakka, and others in Final Fantasy X. That’s

Megacorp Embracer Group has announced that they are building a games archive, to preserve games culture and save it for the future. The project is in the early stages, but they’ve already got 50,000 games and consoles stored up waiting to be catalogued.

Fast Four Word is a clever idea. It’s a Wordle-like in which you begin with a four-letter starting word and must enter a new word which changes just a single letter. So if the starting word is AHEM, as it was yesterday, you could change the first letter and enter THEM. From there, you have

Nintendo has revealed a sneak peek at an upcoming music track from Splatoon 3. Nintendo describes “Sea Me Now” by in-universe band Front Roe as having “a melodious, punkish sound” that has been “swimming up the charts in Splatville lately.” True to the description, the track veers closer to what we had in the first

Video Gameography is on hiatus this week, but in the interim, we’d like to announce the next season officially.  Season six of Video Gameography will chronicle one of the most stylish franchises around: Devil May Cry. Its 20+ year history began after series creator Hideki Kaimya attempted to create an installment of another legendary Capcom series, and

Warner Bros. Montreal has altered Batgirl’s biography in Gotham Knights following backlash about the game’s explanation for her paralysis recovery. Batgirl AKA Barbara Gordon is one of Gotham Knights’ four playable characters alongside Nightwing, Robin, and Red Hood in a story that sees the Bat family defending Gotham after Bruce Wayne’s death. In the 1988

My favourite kind of Humble Bundle isn’t a collection of games, most of which I’ll never get round to playing. It’s a bundle of a single game I like with lots and lots of discounted DLC. Enter the Cities Skylines Colossal Collection, which offers up Cities: Skylines, 9 expansions and 21 add-ons for £16.22/$20/€18.95.

Mojang have revealed that Minecraft’s first major update of 2022, 1.19 The Wild, will arrive on June 7th to zhuzh up the game’s wildlife and biomes. There’ll also be some new aggressive mobs to contend with if you choose to venture down into the dark underground.

The Callisto Protocol is one of the most anticipated horror games in years and happens to be our June cover story. One of the project’s more intriguing aspects was that it canonically took place in the same universe as popular battle royale PUBG: Battlegrounds, albeit in the distant future and on another planet. As of

Sony Interactive Entertainment boss Jim Ryan has revealed that the company expects around 30% of their PlayStation games to be released on PC by 2025.

It’s shaping up to be a great weekend for people who like getting lost in a galaxy far, far away.

Obi-Wan will also join the fight in Fortnite tomorrow night. And

As promised, Hitman 3 now has ray tracing support, added in a new patch alongside Nvidia DLSS and AMD FSR 1.0 upscaling capabilities. It’s no lightweight implementation either, combining both ray traced reflections and sun shadows that can really spruce up the game’s already-gleaming murder sandboxes. It’ll please shiny floor enthusiast Katharine, put it that
