Metal Gear Solid creator and Death Stranding director Hideo Kojima and Metal Gear Solid publisher Konami parted ways with each other back in 2015 and since then, there hasn’t been a mainline entry in the famed MGS series (although there was the not-so-great Metal Gear Survive in 2018).  While there’s no reason to believe Kojima

In a recent article with The New Yorker, Naughty Dog’s co-president, Neil Druckmann, and The Last of Us’ HBO series showrunner, Craig Mazin, discuss the evolution of video games.

The team at THQ Nordic have had to conceded that the Fatesworn expansion for the riveting Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning on Nintendo Switch won’t be released this year and will instead be delayed until 2023. The team says that despite their best efforts, the expansion just isn’t ready yet on the Nintendo Switch system and

We’ve played plenty of games that are in love with hulking great kaiju. Rampage, Dawn of the Monsters and War of the Monsters spring immediately to mind. But Godzilla, Kong, Ultraman and the rest – at least to our memory – have never been airlifted into a turn-based strategy game. Which is a wonder, because

Details on Dragon’s Dogma 2 have been unfortunately thin. Luckily, the game’s director, Hideaki Itsuno, has a status update in a statement to Japanese magazine Famitsu, stating that development is “moving along well.” The last time we heard anything substantial about the sequel to Capcom’s open-world fantasy adventure was in June, when Itsuno and other

The year 2022 is almost over, but it feels like just yesterday that we were hyping our most-anticipated games, most of which are now in the rearview mirror. While 2023 is sure to deliver even more incredible experiences, we can’t move on before looking back at what defined this last year in gaming. From in-game

Back in 2017, Rakuen was a pixel art, combat-free RPG which mixed serious themes with cute, fantasy characters and songs. We adored it. Now its developer Laura Shigihara has announced a new game, Mr. Saitou, which she describes as “the next installment in the Rakuen universe.” You can find the announcement trailer below.

Microsoft’s road to acquire Activision Blizzard has been a rocky one, to say the least. The most recent (and significant) roadblock comes from the American Federal Trade Commission (FTC), which filed a lawsuit a few weeks ago to prevent the deal from going through. Now, Microsoft has fired back with a response, saying the FTC

Image: Emile Holba While there are often discussions around the merits of gaming as an artform, we perhaps talk less about examples of games helping to inspire other contemporary art. Yet as years pass it’s an inevitability, as the role of games in the lives of millions has transformed since the mid- to late-’80s. We’re

Nintendo has partnered with clothing manufacturer Editmode to create real clothing based on the in-game clothes which Inklings and Octolings wear in the popular Splatoon 3 video game.

If you put half of the Sega Mega Drive back catalogue into a blender, you’d get Roar of Revenge. There’s some Golden Axe, Altered Beast, Castlevania: Bloodlines, Onslaught, Ghouls’N Ghosts and even Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in there, all chopped up to make a retro smoothie.  SEEP and Ratalaika Games have really leaned into the

There is no denying that Elden Ring is the best game of 2022. That’s my pick, by the way. I actually think anybody who picks anything else needs to give their head a wobble (though I respect their opinion, of course, and suggest aspirin for the bumped head). Alex on why Elden Ring is a

It is finally here, the game I have waited what seems like a lifetime for – Alphadia Neo from KEMCO.  Normally I would bang on about how this is another retro-styled JRPG, from the kings of retro-styled JRPG’s and so on and so forth, but because of one little addition, this is now the greatest

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has just been released for the seventeenth time and I think it’s time that society at large accepted that it’s just not a particularly good open world RPG.
