Он предполагает повышение зарплат и защиту от необоснованных увольнений.

Он уже обсуждал её с актёрами, и они не против, но конкретных планов нет.

Журналист Bloomberg Джейсон Шрайер выяснил у своих источников подробности об отмене игры про Чёрную пантеру от EA и закрытии студии Cliffhanger, которая её разрабатывала.

Выбрали главное.

Игра выйдет с субтитрами на русском языке, а 2 июня в Steam появится демоверсия.

В середине мая разработчики Stellar Blade сообщили, что обсуждают возвращение игры в продажу в странах без PSN.

Судя по всему, студии Shift Up удалось этого добиться.

Авторы шоу показали вступительные титры, в которых можно увидеть обновлённую рисовку.

Выгодно пополнить Steam можно на DTF — комиссия составляет чуть более 8%.

Деньги поступают на счёт в течение нескольких минут.

Одна установка — для восьми камер, которую можно нести самому, другая — для десяти камер, а третья — уже для 20.

Я редко говорю подобное, но во второй половине фильма есть потрясающий момент, снятый с помощью 20 камер — вы сразу поймёте, что это именно он.

Сцена довольно жёсткая, но при этом смотрится великолепно, полностью раскрывая придуманную нами «технологию».

Уже при монтаже можно выбрать различные варианты — классическую однокамерную перспективу или же монтировать сцену так, будто ты ходишь вокруг происходящих событий, перематывая время вперёд или назад для нужного эффекта.

А так как это хоррор, мы используем подобный подход только в самых жестоких сценах, чтобы усилить напряжение и э…

На мероприятии покажут геймплей игры и пообщаются с гостями.

Компания F6, которая занимается разработкой технологий для борьбы с киберпреступлениями, и «Бюллетень кинопрокатчика» подготовили список самых популярных картин апреля у российских «пиратов».

Топ составлен по количеству нелегальных копий, обнаруженных в сети.

Том доходит до предела.

До настоящего предела возможного, и меня это ужасает.

Я работал с ним над несколькими «Миссиями невыполнима», и для человека моей специальности подготовка машин и трюков для Круза — самый стрессовый опыт.

Мне кажется, что он первым бы сказал: «Не, этого я делать не собираюсь».

Сроков, однако, пока не дают.

На днях таким сообщением поделился инсайдер eXtas1s.

XboxВ сеть попали фото двух версий ROG Ally 2 — на одной из них есть кнопка с логотипом

Разработчики не до конца уверены в причинах.

Та самая сцена с купанием ГеральтаВы наверняка помните открывающую сцену третьего «Ведьмака», в которой игроку показывают Геральта из Ривии, откисающего в бадье.

Одна из самых длинных переписок по почте в истории компании была вот о чём: насколько сильно нужно раздеть Геральта в той сцене с ванной.

Проблемы НовиградаВ CDPR гордились, что смогли выпустить The Witcher 3 на консолях, и «что в неё там можно было играть».

Напомним, до релиза третьей части о ведьмачьей франшизе знали гораздо меньше людей, чем сейчас.

Незнакомые с серией люди наверняка могли подумать, что для полного погружения необходимо пройти две предыдущие игры, и в итоге могли отказаться от покупки.

Студия MercurySteam работает аж с 2002 года и выпустила множество разноплановых и заметных игр — среди них Scrapland, Clive Barker’s Jericho, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, Metroid: Samus Returns и не только.

И не просто противостоять — он уверен, что королева ведёт страну к гибели, и решает убить её.

Хотя для меня долгое время сюжет спасало даже не это, а яркие персонажи.

А это прямо влияет и на запасы выносливости, и на то, сколько нам придётся тратить ресурсов на ремонт.

Бить не в глаз, а в… зелёноеЕщё одна ключевая особенность Blades of Fire — боевая система, которая вынуждает на ходу менять оружие.

У SEGA есть серия симуляторов футбольного менеджмента SakaTsuku , однако за пределами Японии она выходила только один раз.

Уже скоро компания выкатит её на Западе вновь — анонсирована SEGA Football Club Champions 2025.

SEGA Football Club Champions 2025 будет распространяться по условно-бесплатной модели.

Благодаря лицензии Международной федерации ассоциаций профессиональных футболистов (FIFPro) у SEGA Football Club Champions 2025 откроется доступ к базе с 10 000 настоящих футболистов.

Международный релиз SEGA Football Club Champions 2025 состоится до конца 2025 года на ПК (Steam), PlayStation и мобильных устройствах.

Electronic Arts отменила игру про Чёрную Пантеру и закрыла ответственную за неё студию Cliffhanger Games.

Об отмене игры и закрытии студииШрайер отметил, что в марте тайтл успел пройти так называемый «гейт» — этап производства, в рамках которого руководители оценивают ход разработки и решают, продолжать ли её.

Тем не менее, боссы EA были недовольны, что спустя четыре года «Чёрная Пантера» всё ещё не покинула фазу препродакшена.

В это число вошли Respawn, а также Marvel’s Black Panther.

В это число вошли некоторые игры , а такжеПочему Cliffhanger Games так долго не могла перевести игру на следующий этап разработки?

Пару месяцев назад на презентации Future Games Show разработчики из TaleWorlds Entertainment анонсировали дополнение War Sails для Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord.

До сих пор релиз DLC был намечен на 17 июня, однако авторы посчитали необходимым отложить запуск до ранней осени.

Мы с нетерпением ждём, когда каждый из вас отправится в плавание в War Sails, грядущем дополнении для Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord.

В настоящее время команда работает над пересмотренным графиком, и мы планируем сообщить вам точную дату выхода дополнения в ближайшие недели.

Издательство Electronic Arts недавно распустило компанию Cliffhanger Games и отменило её проект — экшен о Чёрной Пантере.

В Сети возник слух, якобы EA собирается закрыть ещё и студию Codemasters.

В среду, 28 мая, инсайдер eXtas1s заявил, что в EA грядёт ещё одна серия увольнений, которая затронет около 400 человек.

В рамках сокращения издатель якобы избавится от Codemasters и переведёт часть её сотрудников в другие подразделения, которые занимаются франшизами F1 и Need for Speed.

Как бы то ни было, дела у Codemasters идут неважно.

Анонсированная демоверсия Stellar Blade прибыла на ПК немного раньше заявленного.

Вместе с тем разработчики добились успеха в переговорах с Sony — они убедили издателя снять региональные ограничения в странах без PSN, но, к сожалению, в России тайтл так и остался недоступным.

К слову, это первый случай, когда Sony согласилась пойти на уступки и возобновить продажи в странах без PSN.

Что касается привязки учётной записи, то эта функция по-прежнему будет присутствовать в релизной версии игры в качестве опции, за которую предусмотрен бонус в виде дополнительного костюма.

Stellar Blade поселится на ПК (Steam, Epic Games Store) 12 июня одновременно с релизом DLC-кроссовера с Goddess of Victory: …

В декабре 2021 года сотрудники Ubisoft объявили о производстве ремейка оригинальной Splinter Cell, и с тех пор проект так и не получил полноценного трейлера.

По крайней мере, на это намекают сами разработчики.

На официальной страничке Ubisoft в экс-твиттере появился лаконичный пост с хэштегом Splinter Cell и прикреплённым изображением головы Сэма Фишера.

Компания не стала раскрывать каких-либо деталей, так что геймерам остаётся лишь ждать дальнейшего развития событий.

Предполагается, что Ubisoft покажет трейлер Splinter Cell Remake во время шоу Summer Game Fest, которое стартует 7 июня в 01:00 по Москве.

С началом июня стартует серия крупных игровых презентаций, в рамках которых геймеры ожидают всевозможные анонсы на ближайший год.

В преддверии мероприятий Sony и Kojima Productions анонсировали отдельный показ Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, который пройдёт 8 июня в 05:00 по Москве в Лос-Анджелесском театре Orpheum.

Эта презентация — первая часть запланированного мирового турне по Death Stranding 2.

Заявлена демонстрация новых геймплейных кадров, а также панельная дискуссия со специальными гостями и разработчиками, включая самого Хидео Кодзиму (Hideo Kojima).

Релиз Death Stranding 2: On The Beach состоится 26 июня эксклюзивно для PlayStation 5.

Несмотря на не самый впечатляющий стартовый рейтинг, Elden Ring: Nightreign всё же смогла привлечь обширную аудиторию с самого старта — менее чем за сутки игра разошлась общим тиражом в 2 миллиона копий.

Общее количество проданных по всему миру копий кооперативной Elden Ring: Nightreign превысило 2 миллиона.

FromSoftwareТем временем пиковый онлайн Elden Ring: Nightreign в Steam задержался на отметке 313 593 игрока, что почти в три раза ниже, чем у оригинальной Elden Ring.

За первый день тайтл получил свыше 10 тысяч отзывов в магазине Valve, из которых положительными являются только 65 %.

Elden Ring: Nightreign доступна на ПК (Steam), PlayStation и Xbox с русской локализацией текста.

На сей раз актуальные проблемы коснулись британского коллектива Playtonic, известного в первую очередь по дилогии Yooka-Laylee.

Печальное сообщение от всех нас в PlaytonicЭто одно из тех посланий, которые мы никогда не хотели писать.

Они помогли сформировать нашу студию, наши игры и нашу культуру, и мы невероятно гордимся тем, что построили вместе с ними.

Это не просто трудный момент, это период глубоких изменений в том, как создаются и финансируются игры.

Если вы читаете это и ищете новых сотрудников, мы не можем не сказать несколько слов в пользу наших уходящих товарищей.

В рамках празднования десятилетия The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt коллектив CD Projekt RED готовит небольшой подарок для фанатов игры.

До конца 2025-го «Ведьмак 3» получит ещё один патч, который и внедрит поддержку модов, доступных одновременно на ПК, PlayStation 5 и Xbox Series.

Чтобы обеспечить доступ к кросс-платформенным модификациям, необходимо привязать учётную запись mod.io к аккаунту в сети CD Projekt RED.

Разработчики предупредили, что на консолях получится запустить не все модификации из-за правил платформодержателей, регулирующих контент.

Напомним, в честь круглой даты CD Projekt RED уже какое-то время делится интересной статистикой The Witcher 3, а также публикует другие материалы.

Студия FusionPlay и издательство Team17 выпустили на РС, PlayStation 5 и Nintendo Switch ролевое рыболовное приключение Nice Day for Fishing.

Студия Frontier Developments выпустила очередное, пятое обновление к симулятору парка развлечений Planet Coaster 2.

CD Projekt Red уже долгое время рассказывает о процессе разработки «Ведьмак 3: Дикая Охота», и создатели самого важного для студии проекта делятся воспоминаниями.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 — бесспорно, сильный кандидат на звание Игры года, а уж награды за арт и дизайн игре уж точно положены.

Студия CD Projekt Red продолжает делиться воспоминаниями о процессе разработки своей главной игры — «Ведьмак 3: Дикая Охота».

Sega объявила, что выпустит свою серию футбольных менеджеров SakaTsuku, или Pro Soccer Club o Tsukurou, на Западе.

Поклонников управления командами ждёт Football Club Champions 2025 — условно-бесплатная игра, которая выйдет на РС, PlayStation, iOS и Android.

Не так давно Sega и Sports Interactive объявили об отмене Football Manager 25, вместо этого переключившись на следующий проект.

Football Club Champions 2025 теперь представляется как игра «на базе Football Manager», хотя и неизвестно, станет ли она заменой классической серии или же компенсацией за отменённый проект.

Последний месяц весны прошёл очень активно: вышло множество хороших игр, в том числе и независимых проектов от наших соотечественников.

Компания Netmarble объявила, что ролевой приключенческий боевик с открытым миром The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin выйдет в этом году на PC, PlayStation 5, iOS и Android.

Страница игры уже появилась в Steam и PlayStation Store.

The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin — новое приключение в мире популярной классической манги «Семь смертных грехов».

Нас ждёт путешествие по фантастическому миру Британии, в ходе которого мы узнаем совершенно новую историю.

Её героем станет принц Тристан из Королевства Лионес, сын Мелиодаса и Элизабет, главных героев манги.

Одним из причин недовольства игроков новым творением студии FromSoftware стало отсутствие «дуэтов» в Elden Ring Nightreign. Игра позволяет отправиться в приключения или в одиночку, или втроём.

Ubisoft, похоже, готовится вновь напомнить о ремейке Splinter Cell, о котором почти ничего не было слышно с момента анонса в 2021 году.

Codemasters и Electronic Arts объявили о релизе спортивного гоночного симулятора EA Sports F1 25.

Игра появилась на РС, PlayStation 5 и Xbox Series, заплатить за неё придётся 60 долларов.

Официальная игра мирового чемпионата 2025 FIA Formula One готовит нам роль владельца собственной команды «Формулы 1» в обновлённом режиме My Team.

В нём мы сможем создавать собственные истории, уделяя время как процветанию самой команды, так и судьбам её гонщиков.

PlayStation и студия ShiftUp объявили, что на РС уже вышла бесплатная демоверсия приключенческого ролевого слэшера Stellar Blade.

Онлайновый кооперативный хоррор R.E.P.O. вышел в ранний доступ в конце февраля 2025 года и быстро стал популярным.

Подошёл к концу четвёртый ежегодный конкурс разработчиков игр ИГРОПРОМ. Мероприятие стало начальным этапом для основной выставки, которая пройдёт этой осенью.

Во что поиграть на смартфоне. Карточные хиты прошлого и будущего, юбилейный квеструм с тортиком и не толькоМай на смартфонах оказался урожайным на карточные игры. Но не только рогалики радуют глаз — в этом месяце вышли атмосферные квесты, милые головоломки и даже серьёзные мрачные RPG. А ещё — проекты, которые серьёзными назвать сложно, но именно это и делает их особенными.

Разработчики Ovis Loop приглашают на тестирование. «Рогалик» похож на Dead Cells, но с оригинальной боевой системойЕсли игра требует постоянных повторных попыток для прогресса, важна удобная и увлекательная боевая система. Именно поэтому Dead Cells и другие рогалики, такие как Hades 2, Returnal и Rogue Legacy 2, стали популярными. В Ovis Loop такой же подход — здесь сражения выглядят свежо.

Обычно такие правки делают для мультиплеера, но здесь затронули однопользовательскую часть, а именно дробовик Super Shotgun. Его эффективность против Hell Knight и некоторых бронированных врагов снизили.

The next Phasmophobia update, Chronicle, is due out next month with a newly revealed June 24th release date, and developer Kinetic Games have offered up some details on what it calls one of the game's "biggest updates" so far.

The key addition with this update is the arrival of sound evidence, which as you can probably guess is a new haunting paranormal proof type that you'll acquire by using the newly added sound recorder.

Developer Rebellion Developments revealed a first look at Atomfall's first DLC expansion yesterday.

Titled Wicked Isle, it unsurprisingly brings you to an island called Midsummer Island that is, in fact, a bit wicked, but like, in the bad way, not in the something a teen in the 2000s would say about something they like kind of way.

Specifically it'll have a bit more of a folk horror vibe to it, which I'm certainly into conceptually.

You know, the typical kind of things you find on a creepy island.

There's a release date for the expansion too: June 3rd, just a few days away at the time of writing.

Yesterday, ZeniMax Workers United-CWA, the union made up of more than 300 quality assurance workers at Microsoft via its subsidiary ZeniMax Media, reached a tentative contract agreement with Microsoft.

The union was formed back in 2022, and has been bargaining with Microsoft in the intervening years since.

Last month, the union was preparing to potentially strike against Microsoft, but now it seems like this may be avoided.

The press release notes that the agreement would also include an agreement made in 2023 in relation to how AI is used in the workplace.

If things continue to go well for ZeniMax Workers United-CWA, perhaps we'll see wins at other unions further down the line.

This time, it was cancelling Marvel's Black Panther, alongside shutting down the two year old studio that was making it, Cliffhanger Games.

For starters, according to the report, the announcement came as a shock to Cliffhanger staff.

Monolith's beloved (and patented) Nemesis System was apparently going to be the basis of a new system in Black Panther expanding on those ideas.

This included things like being able to play as T’Challa, Killmonger and Shuri, all of which would be competing for the Black Panther role.

You can see the similarities to the Nemesis System.

Elden Ring Nightreign is, to the surprise of no one, off to a bit of a flying start (even if not everyone is completely in love with it just yet).

The power of modding always comes through however, as despite only launching yesterday, there's already a seamless co-op mod that allows for duos.

Aptly titled Seamless Co-op (Nightreign), those of you that have previously indulged in a bit of seamless co-op in other FromSoftware Soulslikes won't be surprised to hear that it comes from none other than Yui.

Yooka-Laylee developers Playtonic are laying off staff across their operations, as they wrestle with what they call “a period of profound change in how games are created and financed”.

Falling interest in the genre of mascot platformer Playtonic are best known for?

Either way, the outcome is that a bunch of artists, game designers, narrative designers, producers and UI or UX people are now looking for work.

This, at least, is the increasingly worn-out elevator summary I woozily mutter to myself as I try to scroll to the bottom of our layoffs feed.

I’d like Playtonic to say more about why these layoffs were necessary.

JDM: Japanese Drift Master review A tough but strong contender in a growing niche of racing games focused on skidding round corners - but this time with some light sushi delivery.

JDM: Japanese Drift Master requires a different mentality to most other racing games.

Of course, this means that the full title of the racing game in question is technically: "Japanese Domestic Market: Japanese Drift Master".

It's a clumsy story, shoe-hornedly delivered in the exact way racing game stories often are.

But even so, I'm left with the impression of a racing game punching far above its weight and landing an impressive number of blows.

Developer FuturLab shared an update earlier today saying that "the time has come to reach our final destination for PowerWash Simulator."

The update is already available too, and it's completely free, so you'll just need to update your game when you're feeling the need to clean.

", I would like to say that it's okay when things end sometimes, but also, PowerWash Simulator 2 was announced a couple of months ago, so that'll be why the first one is winding down.

To be a person that looks forward to video games and DLC for video games is to also be a person that must do so knowing that, at this point in time, they are likely to be delayed.

As a result, we're in a situation where, earlier today, developer TaleWorlds Entertainment announced that Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord's first bit of DLC, War Sails, has been delayed.

War Sails, if you could tell by the name, is all about going out on a lovely little sailing trip.

Well, maybe not lovely, it's more about doing trade or fighting enemies, but you get what I mean.

You'll be able to board enemy ships while out on the open sea, and a Viking-inspired faction is being introduced with this expansion too.

Arrowhead just added new enemies, like the Impaler!

In past patches, seeing new threats emerge organically on the battlefield was a thrill.

Helldivers 2 is also in a somewhat unique situation; since propaganda from our in-game superiors is such a core part of the setting, it makes sense to have the game actively gaslight players about new enemies and updates.

As Helldivers 2 continues, I hope Arrowhead doesn’t shift to sharing upcoming surprises in blog posts and promotional materials.

I want to be absolutely shocked as these new enemies show up and turn my poor Helldiver into chunky salsa; it keeps things fresh.

The developers of Stalker 2, GSC Game World, released a massive 35-minute video to YouTube on Monday teasing the upcoming sequel of their beloved open-world shooter franchise.

In it, the Ukrainian team described how they leaned heavily into the authenticity of the experience.

That authenticity applies to the game’s real-world setting around the Chornobyl nuclear power plant.

STALKER 2 was originally expected on Sept. 5, but was delayed to Nov. 20.

The final game will be available on PC and Xbox Series X, where it will be included as part of the Xbox Game Pass program and available to all subscribers the day of its release.

At this point, I think we can safely assume that nobody is going to spend their hard-earned money on tickets to see the Borderlands movie.

The reviews from fans and critics have been absolutely scathing, and frankly, I think we all deserved better.

If you’d like to experience what is still the best version of Borderlands, you can currently pick up the Borderlands Collection: Pandora’s Box from Steam for just $37.12.

Baldur’s Gate 3 won the premier award for narrative excellence in sci-fiction and fantasy media on Sunday.

Baldur’s Gate 3 is the second video game to win the newly created category at the annual Hugo Awards.

The organization attempted to create an award for Best Interactive Video Game in 2006 but didn’t receive enough nominations.

That makes Baldur’s Gate 3 only the second game to win the award.

Baldur’s Gate 3 has already won the Game of the Year Award at five major video game award ceremonies: the Golden Joystick Awards, The Game Awards, the D.I.C.E.

Netflix wanted to be in on the One Piece business — so much so that not only are they just doing live-action One Piece (with season 2 currently in production), they’re also working with Wit Studio to remake the One Piece anime.

The One Piece, said forthcoming anime that was first announced in December last year, would be running concurrently with the still airing One Piece anime.

One Piece now means something different than One Piece then, and a new anime could add a bit of polish to those first chapters.

The original Deus Ex its sequel Deus Ex 2: Invisible War remain some of the most influential titles in gaming, using the first person shooter genre as a canvas and painting over it an intriguing world of conspiracies and larger questions about what it means for technology to become an extension of humanity.

Those core tenets continued in the more modern sequels, 2011’s Deus Ex: Human Revolution and 2013’s Deus Ex: Mankind Divided.

All four games are excellent in their own right, and all are on sale for over 80% off each.

And there’s no better way to get ready than by throwing on a few horror movies just as the sun starts setting a little earlier.

Every month we pick out a few of the best horror movies that Netflix currently has to offer.

It’s also one of the most violent, creepiest, and most disturbing horror movies of the last decade, which certainly makes it worth a look.

All of this makes The Wailing a staggering, ridiculously ambitious horror movie, and unlike just about any other movie ever made.

Cave diving is dangerous enough under the best circumstances, but as you might expect, this particular group of caves is absolutely full of very scary sharks.

And there can be no doubt about the source of the creative energy and good vibes: World of Warcraft Classic.

This was quickly masked the following year when World of Warcraft Classic drove a huge spike in popularity which was sustained by the pandemic gaming boom in 2020.

When he was speaking in March 2024, World of Warcraft subscriber numbers were higher than they had been at Dragonflight’s launch, and climbing.

But it was Classic updates, starting in August 2023, that prompted Hight’s graph to start trending upward.

There are currently no less than five ways to play WoW Classic: the original game, the Cataclysm expansion, Season of Discovery, and two Hardcore variants.

Krafton, the publisher behind PUBG: Battlegrounds and The Callisto Protocol, has acquired Tango Gameworks, the studio responsible for The Evil Within games and Hi-Fi Rush.

Tango was shuttered by Microsoft and ZeniMax Media in May, but the talent who formed the Tokyo-based studio will be integrated into Krafton, which now owns the rights to Hi-Fi Rush.

Hi-Fi Rush is available on PlayStation 5, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X.

Tango Gameworks became part of Xbox’s stable of studios when ZeniMax was acquired by Microsoft in 2021.

The studio found great critical success with Hi-Fi Rush in 2023.

Polygon: Was there a game soundtrack or song that inspired you to pursue creating game music?

In “Interrogation” [from Lorelei], I used the theme from “Woman on the Other Side”, another song from Lorelei and the Laser Eyes.

It was also inspired partly by Angelo Badalamenti’s walking baselines and slow jazzy drums in “Audrey’s Dance” from Twin Peaks.

Is there anything else I should know about your approach to composing video game music?

It’s like an extension of the video game universe.

Few things are better than settling down with a good book, but sometimes the settling is easier said than done.

For all those times, there’s no better place to turn than audiobooks.

All these options making picking your next audiobook a bit of a chore, but don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.

The dramatized audiobooks for A Court of Thorns and Roses are probably the most popular option — they’re cast with different voice actors for each character, and the audio-engineered foley sounds help you envision the scenes as they happen.

It’s a delicious listen even if you don’t have the right setting, of course.

It’s easy to see the similarities between The Legend of Zelda games and many FromSoftware games.

Polygon: Was there a game soundtrack or song that inspired you to pursue creating game music?

Yuka Kitamura: Having spent my childhood and growing up with video games in the 1990s and 2000s, there are many masterpieces that have influenced me.

The desire to play the main theme of my favorite video game title of all time, The Legend of Zelda, on the piano motivated me to learn piano during my childhood.

“We aim to release two more Witcher games after Polaris, creating a new AAA RPG trilogy,” CD Projekt Red said in 2022.

CD Projekt hasn’t announced a final title, gameplay details, or a release date for the fourth mainline entry in The Witcher.

Here’s everything we do know about the new Witcher saga.

The School of the LynxThe one very visible clue that CD Projekt Red has offered about its new Witcher saga is artwork of a medallion buried in snow.

Or, at the very least, CD Projekt wants to downplay the possibility that there’s any sort of exclusivity going on.

Anyone who’s played A Short Hike knows the soundtrack makes up a hefty percentage of the experience.

And as it turns out, that soundtrack would probably never have happened if composer Mark Sparling hadn’t played The Binding of Isaac in college.

But at the "heart" of the Chronicle update is the debut of the all-new Sound evidence.

It's this new evidence type that's necessitated a Journal upgrade, too.

Image credit: Kinetic Games"Chronicle will also introduce a revamped media quality system," Kinetic teased.

"The first evidence capture of any media type will be marked as 'Unique', granting extra cash and XP rewards at the end of each contract.

Any subsequent captures of the same evidence type will be classed as 'Duplicates', offering smaller rewards.

The Communications Workers of America (CWA) says it has reached a "historic tentative contract agreement" with ZeniMax Media staff at Microsoft.

In a statement, the union calls the deal a "first for the video game industry", and revealed it had been negotiating for a first contract for "nearly two years".

"QA workers from across the country continue to lead the charge for industry-wide change," said Page Branson, Senior II QA Tester and ZeniMax Workers United-CWA bargaining committee member.

This is a monumental victory for all current video game workers and for those that come after."

Nacon, new custodians of the WRC series, has gotten into the sim racing game with a new direct drive racing wheel and accessories under RevoSim branding it announced last year.

The wheel base itself has 9Nm of torque, which is a touch more than the Turtle Beach VelocityOne Race's 7.2Nm, although slightly behind the Logitech Pro Racing Wheel's 11nm of force.

The force feedback was strong and informative, picking out the nuances of a rally stage with its hidden dips and crests, while pedal inputs were strong, although there was perhaps a little too much weight to the force feedback for my liking.

General build quality from my initial impressions also seems excellent for the price point Nacon …

It's a decision that would have major repercussions for the rest of The Witcher series at CD Projekt Red.

CD Projekt Red had introduced the Wild Hunt in The Witcher 2 so it made sense.

CD Projekt Red didn't know when it made the original Witcher 3 game that this villager would turn into anyone special.

Curiously, CD Projekt Red wasn't invited to help, which was odd given executive producer Tomek Baginski was well known to CD Projekt Red, having directed the intro cinematics for all three Witcher video games.

Here we are a decade later, then, looking forward to another Witcher game by CD Projekt Red.

He actually did, briefly, but the game's community disliked it so much CD Projekt Red panicked and changed it back.

The year was 2010 and CD Projekt Red was ready to debut its brand new Witcher game, The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, to the world.

Also, I love that there's a studio like Hazelight dedicating itself to making co-op games - not just games that can be played in co-op but games that require it.

I am playing the demo very happily and I suspect I'll replay it many times before the final game is out.

Kojima Productions really is determined to make sure we don't forget Death Stranding 2 is almost upon us.

Alongside a musical world tour, a themed PlayStation 5 controller, plus all that chatter about a Death Stranding movie and anime, the studio has now confirmed it'll be streaming a Death Stranding 2 panel event next month.

And thus enter Geoff Keighley, who'll be hosting the Death Stranding 2: On the Beach Game Premiere event at Los Angeles' Orpheum Theatre, with best pal and Death Standing creator Hideo Kojima in attendance too.

Elden Ring Nightreign will receive another patch next week to make improvements for solo players.

Next week, patch 1.02 will be released, adding an automatic revival effect once per Nightlord battle for solo expeditions.

Indeed, many players have criticised the studio - known for its single-player games - for creating a multiplayer game, although solo play is an option.

"FromSoftware's multiplayer spin-off is an exhilarating rush and a celebration of the studio's prior achievements Souls veterans will devour," I wrote in our Elden Ring Nightreign review.

British post-apocalyptic action game Atomfall will receive its first story expansion next week, adding an entirely new island to explore.

Titled Wicked Isle, the expansion draws on the folk horror elements of the base game with its Midsummer Island setting.

It adds new characters, skills, weapons, and even new endings.

The expansion will be released on 3rd June.

Atomfall released back in March and was quickly described as a British Fallout.

Playtonic, the developer behind the Yooka-Laylee series, has confirmed layoffs at the studio.

Есть разные модели, с помощью которых можно сегментировать игровую индустрию.

Одна из наиболее уникальных в своей простоте принадлежит бывшему руководителю Nexon.

Рассмотрим ее подробно, а также поговорим о том, как издатели и инвесторы часто ошибочно оценивают свои ресурсы и экспертизу.

FromSoftware объявила о первом достижении Elden Ring Nightreign.

Менее чем за сутки кооперативная новинка разошлась тиражом в 2 млн копий по всему миру.

Отметим, что Elden Ring Nightreign только в Steam смогла привлечь 313 тысяч одновременных игроков, став второй по популярности игрой FromSoftware на площадке сразу после оригинальной Elden Ring.

Elden Ring в свое время стала огромным хитом.

Месяц назад разработчики объявили, что количество проданных копий Elden Ring достигло 30 млн.

В начале мая стало известно о победе Epic Games над Apple в апелляционном суде в США: корпорации запретили взимать комиссию с платежей, идущих вне App Store.

Аналитик Aldora Йост ван Дрюнен (Joost van Dreunen) считает, что теперь Apple может обдумывать ряд стратегий для снижения ущерба.

Дело в том, что Unity принадлежат различные монетизационные инструменты, а на ее движке работает более 70% мобильных игр.

Однако даже так, если сделка и в самом деле состоится, покупка Unity станет самой дорогой в истории Apple.

В любом случае, сама Apple об интересе к Unity публично ничего не говорила, и все вышеперечисленное — не больше, чем предположения Дрюнена.

Atomic HeartО том, что в Mundfish действует специальная инициатива под названием Mundfish Powerhouse, в сети заметили еще в феврале.

Однако публично о запуске программы Mundfish объявила только вчера одновременно с анонсом о достижении Atomic Heart планки в 10 млн игроков.

По словам главы Mundfish Роберта Багратуни, идея о запуске Mundfish Powerhouse назревала давно.

«Уже довольно долгое время к нам обращаются студии и инвесторы с просьбой о поддержке, поэтому мы решили заняться этим официально.

Mundfish Powerhouse будет сотрудничать только с теми проектами, в которых мы видим серьезный потенциал.

Компания Scopely объявила о закрытии сделки с авторами Pokémon GO.

Начиная с 29 мая 2025-го теперь уже бывшее игровое подразделение Niantic официально входит в ее состав.

Приобретение Niantic Games стоило Scopely 3,5 млрд долларов.

Благодаря сделке компания получила не только Pokémon GO, но и такие игры, как Pikmin Bloom и Monster Hunter Now, а также приложения Campfire и Wayfarer.

В той части Niantic, которая не была продана Scopely, на фоне последовавших структурных изменений начались массовые сокращения.

В ночь на 30 мая на ПК и консолях состоялся релиз Elden Ring Nightreign — кооперативного спин-оффа Elden Ring.

Elden Ring NightreignСогласно данным сервиса SteamDB, новинка FromSoftware смогла привлечь больше одновременных игроков в Steam, чем вся серия Dark Souls.

Топ игр FromSoftware по онлайну в SteamТем не менее не все игроки довольны Elden Ring Nightreign.

Сейчас две трети отзывов на Steam-версию Elden Ring Nightreign написаны на английском языке.

Ранее аналитики Alinea Analytics подсчитали, что Elden Ring Nightreign подошла к релизу с 2,5 млн вишлистов в Steam.

Atomic Heart преодолела рубеж в 10 млн игроков по всему миру, сообщает студия Mundfish.

Atomic HeartРазработчики не стали уточнять, сколько человек купили Atomic Heart, а сколько предпочли воспользоваться подпиской Game Pass, в которой игра долгое время была доступна.

В прошлый раз Mundfish раскрывала аудиторию Atomic Heart в марте 2023-го.

Тогда говорилось, что в шутер за три дебютные недели сыграли 5 млн человек.

В частности, в 2023 году компания назвала Atomic Heart своим самым громким релизом по итогам года.

На прошлой неделе стукнуло два месяца с релиза симулятора декоратора Urban Jungle от разработчиков из Якутии.

Urban JungleЗа два месяца пользователи Steam купили Urban Jungle 20 тысяч раз.

Добавим, что, согласно сервису Steam Scout, подавляющее большинство отзывов на Urban Jungle написаны на английском языке — 61%.

Сервис Gamalytic пишет о диапазоне от 105,8 тысяч долларов до 221,8 тысяч долларов при продажах в 11,2-23,6 тысяч копий.

В любом случае, для дебютной игры от студии из трех человек, которая изначально задумывалась как пет-проект, Urban Jungle показала неплохие результаты.

Отсюда и выросла логичная тенденция: разработчики стали смотреть не в сторону мобильного рынка, а в сторону ПК.

Так что, по моим оценкам, от 300 до 700 проектов точно есть.

Также иногда встречаются аутсорс-менеджеры, но в большинстве случаев роли строго распределены.

В последнее время периодически сталкиваюсь с мнением, что в игровой индустрии хорошие игры никому не нужны.

Значит ли это, что единственный способ заработать для инди сейчас — это быть оригинальным и уметь в BD?

Разработчики и издатели игр могут создавать в Steam так называемые домашние страницы — персонализированные витрины с перечнем их тайтлов, последними новостями и прочей важной информацией.

Чтобы командам было проще и эффективнее работать с подобными страницами, Valve выпустила небольшое обновление.

Основных нововведения три:▫️если раньше разработчикам и издателям надо было проделать целый ряд действий для привязки страницы новой игры с их домашней страницей, теперь это происходит по нажатию пары кнопок.

Cliffhanger Games успела проработать относительно недолго.

Главной задачей Cliffhanger Games была разработка ААА-экшена от третьего лица про Черную Пантеру — в результате закрытия студии игру отменили.

Также Миле написала, что одновременно с закрытием Cliffhanger Games прошли увольнения в центральном и мобильном подразделениях EA.

Как предполагает IGN, в этот раз компания рассталась не с таким большим количеством специалистов, как в конце апреля, — тогда СМИ писали о 300-400 уволенных.

Попавшим под сокращение EA предложила устроиться на другие должности в компании, но неясно, скольким сотрудникам удастся это сделать, а скольким — нет.

Группа компаний CD PROJEKT выпустила финансовый отчет за первый квартал 2025-го, продлившийся с января по март.

Она рассказала о падении доходов, продажах игр и своем пайплайне.

Следить за массовым всплеском интереса к Star Wars: Battlefront II интересно даже вне контекста.

Star Wars: Battlefront IIКогда 4 мая онлайн Star Wars: Battlefront II в Steam превысил 5500 тысяч одновременных пользователей (CCU), многие не придали этому значения.

За последние пару недель Steam-версия игры несколько раз обновила свои предыдущие рекорды и в итоге 26 мая добралась до отметки в 18 635 CCU.

Это примерно в 1,7 раз больше предыдущего пика в 10,4 тысячи CCU, который был взят в январе 2021 года.

График пикового онлайна Star Wars: Battlefront II в SteamСтоит отметить, что цифры выше не особо показательны.

Вчера компания Kepler Interactive похвасталась успехами Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 — за 33 дня французскую JRPG купили 3,3 млн раз.

SifuСогласно документу, тираж Sifu составляет более 4 млн проданных копий.

На достижение планки в 2 млн копий у Sifu ушло еще чуть больше года.

Примерно столько же времени ей понадобилось, чтобы добраться до 3 млн копий.

Судя по этой динамике, разойтись тиражом в еще один миллион копий Sifu могла примерно к февралю/апрелю 2025-го.

За апрель 2025-го мобильная головоломка Candy Crush Saga заработала 108,25 млн долларов в виде чистой IAP-выручки, следует из данных AppMagic.

Candy Crush SagaСтоит сразу оговорится, что мы не знаем всю динамику выручки Candy Crush Saga.

В любом случае, у Candy Crush Saga выдался второй лучший месяц как минимум за десятилетие.

Для сравнения: в феврале чистая IAP-выручка Candy Crush Saga составляла 87,17 млн долларов, а в марте она была равна 102,25 млн долларов.

Арагон не стал комментировать апрельский всплеск выручки Candy Crush Saga, но отметил рост скачиваний игры.

PlaySafe ID has raised $1.12 million in a pre-seed funding round led by Early Game Ventures.

PlaySafe ID issues players with a "verified, anonymous, and game-agnostic digital ID" to prove that a user "is real and hasn't been caught cheating or being inappropriate to children".

Early Game Ventures managing partner Cristian Munteanu added: "We believe PlaySafe ID is building the trust later for gaming – and beyond.

"In a world where AI and anonymity are eroding safety and fairness, PlaySafe ID restores balance with identity, transparency, and accountability.

Once a gamer is verified through PlaySafe ID, that identity becomes portable across games, platforms, and genres."

We have plans to add multiplayer, [and] we have plans to make a full open world.

The dream from the building side is to allow players the opportunity to create their own multiplayer open world games with ease.

Once you've built a couple of hundred of these, you've built your own open world game.

In the interim, we also have an open world free roam game that spans from when MindsEye finishes to the launch of the open world multiplayer game.

All of these stories interconnect in a fairly unique and original way, which I think players like these days.

Following the success of Amazon Prime's Fallout series, daily active users were 225% higher for Fallout 3 and Fallout 4 in the weeks following the show's premiere last April.

Sensor Tower found that sales of Fallout 3 and Fallout 4 rose 125% and 410% respectively, as both games dropped in price during the week of the show's premiere.

The series boosted DAUs for mobile spin-off Fallout Shelter, too, which increased by 77% while in-app purchases revenue jumped 150%.

It found that DAUs for The Last of Us Part 1 and Part 2 rose 40% following the premiere of the show's second season on April 13, 2025.

Atomic Heart developer Mundfish Studio has launched a publishing initiative called Mundfish Powerhouse.

Powerhouse aims to support aspiring developers by providing investment, resources, and expertise.

It also intends to be involved in the early-stages of development to "maximise the chances" of a studio "achieving a breakthrough".

"For quite some time, studios and investors have been approaching us seeking support," said Mundfish CEO Robert Bagratuni (via Analog Stick Gaming).

Aside from establishing Powerhouse, Mundfish also announced that Atomic Heart has surpassed ten million players since its launch in February 2023.

CD Projekt Red has published its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2025, reporting a small decrease in sales and net profits during its first quarter.

Sales were relatively flat compared to the same period last year, decreasing 0.17% from PLN 226.7 million ($60.3 million) the previous year to PLN 226.3 million ($60.2 million).

So, you may be wondering if you can strike out on your own in Elden Ring Nightreign.

Let’s get this out of the way first: Yes, Elden Ring Nightreign offers the option for solo play.

Elden Ring Nightreign is already pretty damn challenging when running with a group of three other folks.

And since some classes are much better for solo play than others, it can be even more frustrating to go it alone for someone who prefers to play one of the support-focused classes.

Elden Ring Nightreign is designed from the ground up to be played with others, after all.

In Elden Ring Nightreign, you’ll face off against difficult bosses called Nightlords.

If you reach the top of Mountaintop, you’ll earn a passive buff that will greatly increase your frost resistance as well as increase your damage against dragons.

There is another breath attack where Caligo will stand on its hind legs and breathe fog directly down in front of it.

AdvertisementIn a variation of this attack, Caligo will summon a gigantic sheet of ice to come crashing down into the ground.

Timing your expedition with the Mountaintop event will make the fight significantly easier, so make sure you get every advantage you can.

A few days later, on May 22, he said he didn’t intend to sound like an asshole.

Well, the fact that it’s landing on Switch 2 next week alongside the console itself, in a version that looks mighty impressive for running on handheld hardware.

Last year it was turning a 1,700-death-filled Elden Ring marathon into the gaming event of the season.

In 2025 it was a riff on reality TV and Hogwarts called Streamer University that crammed a bunch of streamers into a dorm and let the algorithm-fueled drama unfold.

A great report by Vulture interviewed some of the participants and offers an incisive recap of the entire spectacle.

“The whole floor smelled like wild fumes, mysterious funk,” Groves told Vulture.

Streamer University’s valedictorian was Tylil James, a rising star with a big following that’s still only a fraction of Cenat’s.

The Epic Game Store is currently giving away two PC games that are both very good, but also extremely different.

And then, you can snag Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, a strange but fun Borderlands spin-off, for the low price of zero dollars.

Thankfully, during each week of the sale, Epic is giving out free PC games.

Wonderlands is a fantasy-themed Borderlands spin-off featuring melee weapons, magic, and a big overworld map.

The Steam reviews for Elden Ring Nightreign are littered with the same request: duos.

Fortunately, it took one modder less than 24 hours to provide a workaround for that.

All players need is to both have the mod downloaded on PC and then invite one another to a match as they normally would.

It’s also free, though the modder is taking donations for their service to the community at their Patreon.

In the meantime, despite the heroic mod support on PC, duos remains out of reach for console players who will have no choice but to git gud or git friends.

Doom The Dark Ages is an interesting little beast.

It’s still Doom at heart, in the vein of the last two games.

But the vibe is just so very different, and not just because of the medieval setting.

It’s the Army of Darkness of Doom games, if you follow.

That goes double for the music, and while there’s, uh, obvious reasons for that.

Cooperation is the name of the game in Elden Ring Nightreign, so it’s good to know how to communicate well with your party to help one another succeed.

There's a lot of speculation about what the new Nintendo Switch 2 console, due to debut next week in stores globally, can achieve in terms of system performance.

However, speaking to Koei Tecmo in an interview about the launch title NOBUNAGA’S AMBITION: Awakening Complete Edition, we learned that the Japanese team tried to run the game at 4K resolution and 60FPS but had to scale down to just 1080P@30FPS.

Here's what game producer and director Michi Ryu told Wccftech:We are not using NVIDIA DLSS.

Being able to have this level of graphics in a portable format is a major point to be enjoyed by players.

The Nintendo Switch 2 launches on Thursday, June 5.

Unlike the Pro 395, the Pro 385 is significantly weaker in the CPU department but is fairly strong when it comes to the integrated graphics.

Nonetheless, coming to the CPU itself, the Ryzen AI Max Pro 385 is used on an HP ZBook Ultra G1a 14-inch mobile workstation laptop.

What's more important is that we can finally see cheaper alternatives to Ryzen AI Max Pro 395-based devices, offering excellent iGPU performance.

Being able to offer up to 50 NPU TOPS and over 100 TOPS of AI performance overall, the Ryzen AI Max Pro 385 can be a solid option for AI workloads as well.

In the intervening days, the US - China trade war largely receded from the market's legendary myopic view, until today that is.

Well, according to the Wall Street Journal, China's intransigence on rare earth metals is the casus belli here.

Apparently, the US had demanded during the Geneva meetings with the Chinese delegation that the Asian giant promptly resume its rare earth exports to the US.

As we covered in a previous post, rare earth metals are used in an entire gamut of industries, including in the production of magnets for electric motors.

While the US can certainly establish its own rare earth domain, it would likely require the better part of a decade.

That adage is proven true time and time again in Elden Ring Nightreign, the latest game from the merciless game design wizards at FromSoftware.

A lot of the familiarity is due to the fact that the environments, weapons, and combat look and feel a lot like Elden Ring.

It’s obviously much, much more detailed than that, so we’ll leave it to you to read the Elden Ring Nightreign: Answering 20 Burning Questions feature we wrote earlier this year while we focus on something more important.

Take a Few Minutes to Get AcclimatedAs mentioned above, there are a number of new gameplay mechanics introduced in Elden Ring Nightreign that might take longtime players some time to get used to.

The Roundtable…

The Wicked Isle is an entirely new area for players to explore in Atomfall, accessible by boat from the village of Wyndham.

When developing the Wicked Isle, there were two real-world locations that acted as key inspirations.

However, I’m most excited to see how people interact with the new abilities that the Wicked Isle brings.

The response from the community to Atomfall has been incredible and we cannot wait for players to experience Wicked Isle.

Available from June 3, the Wicked Isle Story Expansion Pack can be bought separately and is also included in the Atomfall Deluxe Edition and Atomfall Deluxe Upgrade.

If you defeat your opponent, you can win a card to integrate into your deck and win souls that can be used in the main game for powerful attacks.

We thought of this as “maximizing the minigame.” What if a player wanted to play Cryptmaster entirely for Whatever?

You’d deal more damage and get more effects off but you could spend entire turns missing your needed letters.

With so many new cards, we also brought a new place to play Whatever and meet new characters to play with.

Whatever…direction you choose, you’re sure to find new challenges in the Cryptmaster Anniversary Update, out now on Xbox.

Developed by Red Soul Games, Post Trauma is a survival horror game that takes a deep dive into the human psyche.

In Post Trauma, players control Roman (Togo Igawa), a tormented train conductor who awakes to find himself in a surreal dimension following a terrible panic attack.

The intent is to create a truly special, unforgettable horror experience fuelled by pure passion and incredible talent.

This first-person puzzle horror game drops you into an old, abandoned animation studio where something has clearly gone very, very wrong.

Whether you enjoy horror games or are simply looking for something unique and memorable, Bendy will be there… possibly even right behind you.

Welcome To Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza PlaceThe atmosphere of Five Nights At Freddy’s is an integral part of its horror, and it was imperative that the Level Design team captured that in their recreation of Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza Place.

Each class has a unique Passive Ability, a Character Skill, and an Ultimate Art.

But don’t sweat the choice too much — if one class just isn’t gelling for you, you can swap class anytime between expeditions.

The Guardian’s ultimate skill, Wings of Salvation, not only looks cool and hurts a large area of foes, it can also help revive near-death teammates within the range of its impact.

But Raider’s also got a softer, supportive side: his Ultimate Art creates a tombstone that serves as a safe perch for long-range attackers and boosts their power.

After years of sweat, love, and relentless passion, we’re proud to reveal the first official gameplay teaser of our upcoming narrative adventure game, Mukti.

Built for the big screenOn PlayStation 5, Mukti is designed to fully harness the power of Sony’s hardware.

Why wishlist mattersAs an indie studio from India, every wishlist counts.

It tells the world, especially platforms and publishers, that there’s a growing hunger for Indian stories told through high-quality, console-level games.

It pushes boundaries and opens doors, not just for Mukti, but for a whole generation of Indian developers.

The game that really stood out to me, however, was He Who Watches, a gravity-defying "dungeon puzzler" that's most easily summarised as Legend of Grimrock meets Portal.

But it replaces the RPG elements of traditional dungeon crawlers with 3D spatial puzzling.

So instead of shooting your bow at monsters, you'll shoot it at switches to open doors, and at 3D blocks to pull them around on a magical chain.

There are two key elements to He Who Watches' puzzling.

There's no firm release date for He Who Watches yet, but the trailer confirms that it will launch sometime in the autumn.

The Wicked Isle DLC adds a whole new offshore region to Atomfall's map.

Despite being in the sea, Midsummer Island is somehow closer to the Windscale plant than much of Atomfall's vanilla map.

But perhaps Wicked Isle can flesh them out a bit in the DLC.

Either way, I'm more interested in the new story threads Wicked Isle adds.

Wicked Isle arrives on June 3, and will cost $20 (£15) when it does.

It's difficult to think of games whose soundtrack had a bigger impact on an entire generation than the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series.

It's coming full circle now because Bodyjar is back in Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 + 4 and we're touring with Bodyjar this summer."

It was first included on Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam, a departure from the Pro Skater and Underground titles.

Now it's being featured in a main Pro Skater soundtrack for the first time.

With everything Y2K coming back in fashion again, perhaps a whole new generation of kids are about to fall in love with punk music through videogames.

Souls YouTuber Ongbal, known for their singularly stylish, often flawless play in Dark Souls, Elden Ring, and especially Sekiro, is back for Elden Ring Nightreign.

One day after sharing their first solo run of the three-person co-op game, Ongbal posted their first solo victory against Nightreign's final boss.

Being a Sekiro enthusiast who often opts for katana builds in other Souls games, Ongbal naturally favors the Executor in Nightreign.

Executor Solo VS Final Boss (Elden Ring Nightreign) - YouTube Watch OnNightreign's final boss, Heolstor, starts out in a sluggish, "oooh I'm just a decrepit tragic king don't hurt me" mode reminiscent of Vendrick from Dark Souls 2.

First reported by Eurogamer, FromSoftware has acknowledged long matchmaking times for Elden Ring Nightreign despite having 2 million players and counting.

The studio's initial suggested fixes are not particularly helpful, especially on PC, and the best solution right now is really just queueing with a full team of three.

In an initial tweet about matchmaking, FromSoft suggested restarting the matchmaking process if it's taking too long⁠—I and the commenters on Twitter thread can tell you right now, that hasn't helped.

Nightfarers, If you encounter issues finding other players when launching an expedition in #ELDENRING #NIGHTREIGN, please try restarting the matchmaking process.

I'm not a multiplayer guy either, so the co-op centric nature of Elden Ring Nightreign was a hurdle that I thought would surely protect me from accumulating a sleep deprivation debuff.

If Elden Ring or Bloodborne is Fromsoft in a dimly lit, chic ambience, Nightreign is the studio under the harsh fluorescent glare of a DMV built in 1992.

Take the fact that certain bosses are immune to affinity effects like bleed or frostbite⁠—that's just something you come to accept in Dark Souls or Elden Ring.

I've always believed Planet Coaster 2 to be a better game than it's typically given credit for.

But one issue I have with the sequel, and indeed, the series in general is that your park visitors are a bit dull.

Well, update 5 for Planet Coaster 2 adds a bit of that in, sprinkling a criminal fraternity among your visitors.

The patch brings back the sci-fi theme from the original Planet Coaster, letting you dress up rides and pools in glorious retrofuturism.

Whether you liked the game already or not, it certainly seems like Planet Coaster 2 is on the right track.

My favourite type of video game can be summarised as "something has gone wrong in space".

And wow, does Dandelion Void understand the meaning of the word "horrible".

From this simple concept, The Swapper produces some delightfully brain-tangling puzzles, and a story that probes the question of personal identity with discomforting acuity.

Over the last week or so, Facepalm has been steadily uploading a sequence of updates to The Swapper's beta-build, culminating in the game's first proper Steam update in 11 years.

"The original purpose of this release was addressing bit rot that had accumulated over the years," writes Facepalm in a Steam blog.

"But we couldn't resist including some visual, aural and input adjustments that make the game feel a bit smoother."

Aside from these quality-of-life additions, The Swapper is now Steam Deck verified.

Inspired by Wing Commander and X-Wing, Alliance Peacefighter brings a story-driven space sim to PC VR next week.

Created by Manchester-based studio Urban Logic Games, Alliance Peacefighter previously appeared in February's Steam Next Fest with a now removed demo.

Alliance Peacefighter gives you full control over the ship's power and shield distribution, and it's a hybrid game built for flatscreen and VR.

Presently, Alliance Peacefighter is only coming to Steam, and that doesn't look set to change unless the game's successful.

Asked in a YouTube comment if the upcoming space sim would also reach Quest, Urban Logic Games replied, “PC VR only for now I'm afraid.

Eight years after Nibre’s MotherVR mod put basic VR support in Alien: Isolation, a different modder is attempting to complete the job with a full overhaul.

Now in 2025, the GRAND- MotherVR mod by JayP has been publicly released on the Flat2VR discord server.

GRAND-MotherVR transforms Alien: Isolation into an even more nail biting experience than ever before, capturing the claustrophobic tension of Sevastopol station and adding newfound fidelity.

Once this was done, the game started normally and I was finally on my way back to Sevastopol station.

The graphics overhaul also amplifies the game's dark and creepy aesthetic and adds something to the already atmospheric nature that exists inside S…

Bono: Stories of Surrender, the first-ever feature-length Apple Immersive Video, is out now on Apple Vision Pro.

0:00 / 2:06 1×At 1 hour 26 minutes, the documentary dwarfs the previous longest Apple Immersive Video, the 16-minute short film Submerged released back in October.

The Apple Immersive Video format is 180-degree video with 8K per-eye resolution, 90FPS, stereoscopic 3D, high dynamic range (HDR), and spatial audio.

What Vision Pro owners hope will come next is livestreamed Apple Immersive Video, broadcasting sporting events and concerts in real-time.

That's something that NextVR, the startup that Apple acquired to develop Apple Immersive Video, was doing almost a decade ago - but no…

There, customers can demo Quest 3 and Quest 3S, as well as Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses.

The biggest driver for the retail rollout is thought to be Ray-Ban Meta Glasses however, which are built in partnership with French-Italian eyewear conglomerate EssilorLuxottica.

Ray-Ban Meta Glasses, which pack in cameras for photos and video, as well as onboard Meta AI assistant and off-ear speakers, are already available in a number of styles and lens configurations, although that’s likely set to change.

Google showed off its own pair of smart glasses on stage at Google I/O earlier this month, announcing it’s partnering with eyewear companies Warby Parker and Gentle Monster to release multiple versions…

Out of Sight VR takes this train of thought to its inevitable conclusion.

As far as horror goes, Out of Sight VR is squarely within the “atmospheric” category.

Comfort Out of Sight VR has a handful of comfort features, though some of them aren't immediately obvious what they do.

Out of Sight VR - Final VerdictThough it's in Early Access for now, Out of Sight VR is still a complete game that takes about three hours or so for a complete playthrough.

Stay tuned for our final impressions later this year, once Flat2VR Studios feels confident that Out of Sight VR is ready for its final 1.0 release.

As a rapidly growing startup, Oculus attracted the attention of Meta (at the time Facebook), which acquired the company in 2014 for more than $2 billion.

Luckey continued in VR under Meta’s roof for several years but was eventually pushed out of the company due to backlash over his politics.

After leaving Meta, Luckey went on to found Anduril, a tech-defense startup which itself went on to achieve a multi-billion valuation.

Unsurprisingly, given Luckey’s background, Anduril itself has been developing XR tech alongside more traditional military products like drones and sensors.

Initially headed by Microsoft, Anduril has purportedly taken a leading role over project, and has now tapped Meta t…

Anduril is teaming up with Meta to build XR products for US and allied militaries, starting with the EagleEye AR/VR helmet.

Anduril is a defense company founded by Palmer Luckey in 2017 after he was fired from Oculus by Facebook.

Just a few years ago, the idea of Palmer Luckey working with Meta again would have been almost unthinkable.

A few days before Bosworth's apology, Mark Zuckerberg personally invited Palmer Luckey to demo the Orion prototype.

“Our national security benefits enormously from American industry bringing these technologies to life.”“I am glad to be working with Meta once again.” said Palmer Luckey.

Badminton Time VR, a multiplayer arcade sports game, confirmed a PlayStation VR2 release date next month.

Developed by Belgian studio Fishing Cactus, Badminton Time VR is a family-friendly multiplayer sports game that initially released as a flatscreen title on Nintendo Switch.

Previously launched on Quest last November, co-publishers Decathlon and Perp Games confirmed the VR edition is now heading to PlayStation VR2 on June 17.

Alongside a more realistic mode focused purely on the titular racket sport, Badminton Time VR features an arcade mode too.

Badminton Time VR reaches PlayStation VR2 digitally on June 17, followed by a physical edition on July 11.

Phasmophobia will overhaul the VR co-op horror game's evidence collection system in next month's 'Chronicle' update.

The next major Phasmophobia update on its 2025 roadmap, Kinetic Games confirmed that 'Chronicle' arrives on June 24.

That adds a new 'Sound' evidence category to detect audio cues during ghost events, Spirit Box responses and Paranormal Sounds, alongside a three-tiered Sound Recorder.

Other changes coming alongside Chronicle will see next month's update introduce a reworked levelling and progression system.

Phasmophobia's Chronicle update launches on June 24, and the base game is out now on Steam and PlayStation VR2.

So it should come as no surprise that Capcom has a presence at Expo 2025 in Osaka with Monster Hunter Bridge, a special XR technological showcase utilizing the mega-hit franchise.

This fueled development on the Pokémon GO-esque Monster Hunter Now that took the hunter experience into the real world via AR, or their limited-time free roam VR experiences at Universal Studios Japan.

Monster Hunter Bridge is designed in the vein of these experiences, with the intent to create something only possible within a dedicated immersive space such as this.

Monster Hunter Bridge has its limitations.

Is it worth going to the world’s fair and traveling to Expo 2025 specifically to see Monster Hunter Bridge?

Soon you’ll be able to play the real deal on Quest and Pico headsets though thanks to an unofficial port from modding group Team Beef.

It’s also being paired with the multiplatform client developed by Velaron, Team Beef says.

The port will feature cross-play and “easy sever creation directly from inside VR,” Team Beef says, noting that they’re additionally aiming to support full 6DoF motion controls as well.

The Counter-Strike 1.6 VR port is said to release in early access “very soon” to supporters of the Team Beef Patreon.

In the meantime, the modding team released a short teaser of an early prototype, which notably doesn’t feature 6DoF motion controls.

Don't Move is a 'test your nerves' PC VR game from a solo developer, and a Steam demo is now available.

Developed by Spectacular-Ocular, Don't Move challenges you to stay perfectly still, regardless of what comes towards you.

The upcoming game is a solo project by Tim Wildgoose, who also works full-time as the head of manufacturing at Lucasfilm across various Star Wars projects.

Wildgoose states he works under the name Spectacular-Ocular in his spare time for both VR and 2D games, calling Don't Move a passion project of his.

Don't Move doesn't have a confirmed PC VR release date yet, but the Steam demo is available now.
