Один из самых ярких гейм-дизайнеров индустрии Юсеф Фарес (Joseph Fares) начал тизерить новую игру от Hazelight Studios.

В своём твиттере разработчик поделился фотографией со съёмочной площадки для захвата движений.

Каких-либо других подробностей Фарес не сообщил.

На форуме ResetEra пользователи стали предполагать, что главными героинями проекта станут мать и дочь, а другие в шутку предложили назвать игру It Takes Three.

Прессе понравилась версия 1.0 — средний балл игры достиг 83 на OpenCritic и 84 на Metacritic.

Повествование придаёт смысл вашему исследованию, и это достаточная мотивация двигаться дальше (есть «хорошая» и «плохая» анимированная концовка).

Вас ждёт множество аудиозаписей, но минимальное взаимодействие с неигровыми персонажами и несколько разрозненных кат-сцен с воспоминаниями — это подавляющая часть сюжета Grounded.

Схватка с пауком-ткачом в течение первого часа — это смертный приговор для вас, но с несколькими друзьями справиться с ним вполне реально.

Лишние пары рук делает игру более приятной, как в любом кооперативе, но и более простой.

Три GeForce RTX 4090 Founders Edition с задней панелью, стилизованной под Cyberpunk 2077, достанутся победителям конкурса от CD Projekt RED.

Правда, доставка приза в Россию и несколько других стран может быть затруднительна или невозможна.

Тем не менее запрет на участие в конкурсе это не накладывает.

Игроки должны сделать скриншот в фоторежиме по подсказкам в твиттере Cyberpunk 2077.

Компания уверяет, что RTX 4090 в 2–4 раза быстрее 3090 Ti.

Wild Hearts — охотничья AAA-игра в сеттинге фэнтезийной феодальной Японии от студии Omega Force, которая известна по серии Dynasty Warriors.

Дебютный трейлер представят через пару дней.

Напомним, в разработке Wild Hearts поможет Electronic Arts.

Развлечение выйдет в рамках инициативы EA Originals, под эгидой которой издавались Unravel, Knockout City и It Takes Two.

Других подробностей о Wild Hearts пока нет.

Всё это — в нашей новой подборке.

Вроде бы простенькое дело приводит главного героя как раз в элитный квартал, и всё в итоге оборачивается куда более серьёзными вещами — на кону существование самого города.

И если поначалу всё это может показаться слишком лёгким и однообразным, то чем дальше, тем сложнее и интереснее становится.

И всё помножено на французский шарм и стиль — например, в Broken Pieces нашлось место для лирики и красивых песен, которые постоянно слушает Элиза.

Первые две истории меня не очень впечатлили –предсказуемые сюжетные повороты, обилие штампов вроде попыток напугать нас манекенами, да и с оптимизацией не всё ладно.

Return to Monkey Island не станет заключительной частью франшизы.

Пользователь «Твиттера» спросил у разработчика, можно ли считать Return to Monkey Island финальной главой «Острова Обезьян».

Гилберт ответил коротко: «Вряд ли это конец».

Средняя оценка Return to Monkey Island на OpenCritic — 87/100, а рейтинг одобрения в Steam составляет 93 %.

Теперь им осталось решить, довольны ли они концовкой, — а на это может уйти ещё несколько лет.

22 сентября на ПК (Steam, EGS) и Xbox Series запустилась ранняя версия Slime Rancher 2.

Новый симулятор жизни стартовал очень успешно — ему понадобилось несколько часов, чтобы разойтись тиражом 100 копий.

О достижении сообщил гендиректор студии-разработчика Monomi Park Ник Попович (Nick Popovich):У меня была наивная мечта, что мы сможем продать 100 тысяч копий Slime Rancher 2 за первые 24 часа, если звёзды сойдутся.

Пользователи Steam радушно встретили Slime Rancher 2 — на счету сиквела 6 141 пользовательская рецензия, причём 95 % отзывов — положительные.

Slime Rancher 2 пробудет в раннем доступе не меньше полутора лет.

HBO представила тизер-трейлер сериала по мотивам The Last of Us.

Производством занимаются HBO, Naughty Dog, Sony Pictures Television, PlayStation Productions и Word Games.

Одним из режиссёров является Кантемир Балагов («Теснота», «Дылда»).

Исполнительные продюсеры и сценаристы — Крэйг Мэйзин (Craig Mazin; сценарист сериала «Чернобыль») и Нил Дракманн (Neil Druckmann; творческий руководитель игры The Last of Us).

Премьера сериала состоится на стриминговой площадке HBO Max в 2023-м — похоже, в начале года.

Origins — новая часть серии тактических шутеров, анонсированная ещё в 2019 году.

События Origins развернутся в 1980 году.

Как и прошлые I.G.I., игра представляет собой тактический боевик с видом от первого лица.

Вы сможете проходить задания как скрытно, так и с перестрелками.

Origins была заявлена для ПК, PlayStation 4 и Xbox One, однако в свежем видео среди платформ упомянут только Steam.

Если раньше компания покупала уже существующие студии, то сегодня она объявила о создании первой внутренней команды разработки.

Коллектив базируется в городе Хельсинки (Финляндия).

По словам вице-президента игровых студий Netflix Амира Рахими (Amir Rahimi), финское подразделение будет создавать оригинальные игры без рекламы и микротранзакций.

Релиз дебютного проекта ещё далеко — как отметил Рахими , «создание игры может занять годы».

Напомним, ранее в состав Netflix вошли три игровые студии:

Аналитическая фирма GfK опубликовала чарт физических продаж игр в Великобритании за предыдущую неделю.

Лидером третью неделю подряд остаётся Splatoon 3, несмотря на падение продаж на 44 % по сравнению с предыдущей неделей.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe поднялась с третьего на второе место, хотя продажи снизились на 5 %.

Сильнее всего выросли продажи Grand Theft Auto V (на 21 %, с девятого на пятое место) и LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga (на 43 %, с 18-го на 10 место).

Топ-10 за рабочую неделю, которая закончилась 24 сентября (в скобках — место на предыдущей неделе):

Следующая глава Dead by Daylight будет посвящена сетевому файтингу For Honor от Ubisoft.

Если верить автору утечки, со стартом новой главы в асимметричном хорроре появится карта из «совершенно нового мира».

Напомним, DbD и For Honor уже пересекались — годом ранее в экшене Ubisoft прошёл хэллоуинский ивент, в рамках которого в игру заглянул Охотник.

Убийца под управлением компьютера преследовал игроков в битвах четыре на четыре.

Последний на данный момент кроссовер — с Resident Evil — запустился в Dead by Daylight месяц назад.

В этом году выставка E3 не состоялась, зато её проведут в 2023-м.

15 июня — день и для бизнес-гостей, и для потребителей.

16 июня — день для потребителей.

E3 2023 пройдёт с 13-го по 16 июня в Los Angeles Convention Center.

В 2023-м E3 состоится вживую впервые за четыре года.

Уже завтра игроки классической версии World of Warcraft смогут отправиться в Нордскол и бросить вызов Королю-личу.

И для них Blizzard приготовила особый подарок: ремастер культового синематика Wrath of the Lich King, который многие считают лучшим трейлером в истории компании.

Улучшенная версия сюжетного кинематографического трейлера поддерживает разрешение 4К.

И качество ролика заметно повышено по сравнению с оригиналом, выпущенным в 2008 году.

Ранее этой работой пытались заняться энтузиасты, но у профессионалов вышло лучше.

Разработчики заявили, что гордятся тем, какой отклик получил и получает их проект.

И, чтобы отметить непрестанный интерес к игре, они приготовили подарки для поклонников: обои, гифка и новый арт.

Обои созданы членом сообщества Дэвидом Блаттом из набора артов к игре.

Арт на заставке, опубликованный на странице празднования, также создан представителем сообщества с помощью игрового фоторежима.

An ambitious but overwhelming alien invasion strategy game.

Netflix announced that it has started its own internal game development studio in Helsinki, Finland, but its name hasn't been revealed yet.

14 of the best classic board games, ranging from Go to Scrabble to Power Grid, and many more.

From Agricola to Food Chain Magnate, these are our picks for the best strategy board games.

Toshimichi Mori, the creator of the BlazBlue series, has left Arc System Works after almost 20 years and is looking to potentially create a new game.

While Marvel is introducing many changes to Namor as he makes his MCU debut in Black Panther: World of Wakanda, actor Tenoch Huerta confirms one important element hasn't changed in translation.

New extracts from Alan Rickman's diaries reveal his frustration with the Harry Potter movies, his admiration for Daniel Radcliffe, and more.

Marvel boss Kevin Feige is sharing more about what went into the discussions around Black Panther 2, saying it was simply too soon to recast the role of T'Challa.

The best gaming TV on the market

A while back, I was wondering where all the Steam Deck accessories were.

Valve themselves have the case covered, including a decent hard case with even the cheapest 64GB models, and it’s not difficult to pick up one of the best microSD cards for the Steam Deck.

I therefore turned to the makers and sellers of Etsy, where a kind of indie Steam Deck accessory market has emerged.

Soon, I’d bought (with my own money, you’re welcome ReedPop) a selection of unique, handcrafted, sometimes questionable gadgets and appendages, and promptly packed them onto a train for independent appraisal by a newly minted Steam Deck owner.

For more on wot we think of the Steam Deck itself, you can have a read of my…

A great many new Cyberpunk 2077 mods are adding bits and pieces from Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, the new ultraviolent spin-off anime series.

Cyberpunk 2077 devs CD Projekt Red did officially add a few wee bits of the anime to the game in the Edgerunners Update this month.

Beyond cosplay, modders have whammed more Edgerunners into Cyberpunk 2077.

If you're in the modding mood, the most impressive I've seen is still the Cyberpunk 2077 mod adding flying cars.

Following Edgerunners, Cyberpunk 2077 has seen Cyberunk 2077, with player numbers rise to their highest point since launch.

Longtime Halo support studio Certain Affinity have hinted that they’re working on something “big and new” for the sci-fi series’ most recent, and troubled, entry, Halo Infinite.

Watch on YouTube Halo Infinite's most recent event was The Yappening, which wrapped up on September 20th.

If the project is a battle royale mode then that could potentially help to revive interest in Halo Infinite's live-service offering, which has suffered setbacks and delays.

It’s been rumoured for some time that Certain Affinity was involved in bringing battle royale to the Halo franchise.

The company said at the time that they’d “been entrusted with further evolving Halo Infinite in some new and exciting ways”.

Ex-Labour Party head and leader of the UK parliamentary opposition Jeremy Corbyn was spotted engaging in some quality gaming time over the weekend, taking on the Iron Lady in Doom 2 mod Thatcher’s Techbase.

E3 is back as an in-person event in 2023 and will run from June 13th to 16th, the Entertainment Software Association and ReedPop have announced.

There hasn’t been an in-person E3 since 2019, and just one digital event bearing the E3 name has taken place since then.

The next E3 in-person event’s happening at the Los Angeles Convention Center (LACC), but it’s split into two sections.

They’re called Business Days and Gamer Days.

E3 2023 takes place from June 13th until June 16th at the LACC.

Fans of Yakuza spin-off Judgment and of Japanese actors who’ve been naughty will be pleased to hear that there’s a mod to restore the voice and likeness of Pierre Taki to the game.

Now, the Judgment Pierre Taki Restoration Patch finally brings the scrubbed actor back for the very first time, over here at least.

Modders have essentially ported the PS4 version of Pierre Taki over to the Steam version, which you can find over on NexusMods.

Due to his arrest, Taki’s performance as Olaf in the Japanese version of Kingdom Hearts III was scrapped too – couldn’t they let it go?

The Pierre Taki Restoration Patch is on NexusMods here.

Supernatural adventure sequel Oxenfree II: Lost Signals has seen its release date pushed back again into next year, devs Night School Studio have announced.

Night School thanked people for their patience, and explained the delay was due to the team wanting to make Oxenfree II “the best game it can possibly be”.

Oxenfree II was revealed in April 2021, and is set five years after the events of the first game.

Krafton, Korean publishers PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, have released a "visual concept trailer" for a new game based on Korean epic fantasy novels The Bird That Drinks Tears.

They're still describing the game as "unannounced", but say that the trailer illustrates the "mystical tone" they're aiming for.

The Bird That Drinks Tears is a four volume fantasy series written by Lee Yeongdo, which draws inspiration from Korean mythology.

I don't know much more than that, but I am fully onboard with any fantasy fiction that doesn't draw purely from Western tropes.

Releasing this concept trailer is probably an attempt to draw more talent to the studio, and who knows when or if there will be someth…

Sales are ten a penny these days, but GOG's End Of Summer sale contains several stone cold classics.

You can find all the games on sale here, and the discounts will continue until September 26th.

Of those four I mentioned above, it's Samorost 3 I personally haven't got to.

I loved the first two in Amanita's silent, grasspunk adventure series - as well as several of their other games - but never made time for the trilogy's closer.

There are other Amanita games on offer too, including creepy furniture puzzler Creaks and cute chaos goblin Chuchel.

During Netflix's fan event Tudum, the streaming service announced that their prequel series The Witcher: Blood Origin would launch on Christmas day, and that The Witcher season 3 would release sometime summer 2023.

Manage cookie settingsAnd you'll also find the Blood Origin poster on Twitter.

Blood Origin is a wholly original work, however, and looks to diverge substantially from previously established Witcher lore.

The Witcher: Blood Origin does have a strong cast going for it, however, including Michelle Yeoh and, oddly, Dylan Moran.

I will watch Blood Origin for Dylan Moran just like I will watch Rings Of Power for Lenny Henry.

"Terror Zones" sounds like a Stephen King TV show from the early '00s, but it's not.

Enter Terror Zones.

Once per hour, corruption will seep into a particular area of Diablo 2's world, making the monsters within higher level and the loot received for killing them higher level, too.

On October 6th, Ladder season two will begin, offering a fresh leaderboard for players who want to race to reach level 99.

These charms allow players to break specific monster immunity while they carry one, thus making more character builds viable in more zones - including Terror Zones, obviously.

Oh, I know another one: what are you playing this weekend?

Alice0As you might guess from the iridescent praise in my Hyper Demon review, I am playing this surprise sequel to Devil Daggers.

Flipping outKatharineI'm at EGX this weekend so I've been playing lots of cool new games already.

RebeccaFriday was my first EGX in four years, not to mention my first one attended as staff (my mum is very proud), so this weekend I expect I'll be playing a little game called "recovering from my first convention since the start of the pandemic".

But you, reader dear, what are you playing this weekend?

Everyone's talking about Trombone Champ.

As I play Trombone Champ myself, I come to really appreciate that.

It's a rare rhythm game where playing badly doesn't frustrate or berate me, because the worst-case scenario is making fart noises, and fart noises are funny.

While Trombone Champ does take dexterity to master, especially on fast and complex songs, it broadly wants you to progress without becoming super frustrated.

I must warn that something about Trombone Champ feels completely wrong to my eyes, hands, and brain.

Police in the UK have arrested a 17-year-old in Oxfordshire on suspicion of hacking, and it’s been alleged that it could be connected to the breach at Rockstar Games that led to the recent Grand Theft Auto 6 leaks.

Manage cookie settingsThe GTA 6 leaks first sprang up last weekend, quickly spreading around the Internet.

Rockstar Games later issued a statement confirming the leaks, which they described as a network intrusion by an “unauthorized third party” who had “illegally accessed and downloaded confidential information”.

The GTA devs said they didn’t expect the hack to have any long-term effects on the next game’s development.

There’s still no release date for GTA 6, but you can expect …

World chess champion Magnus Carlsen made a statement on Monday explicitly stating that he believes his opponent, Hans Niemann, cheated during tournament play.

“I believe that Niemann has cheated more — and more recently — than he has publicly admitted,” the statement reads.

pic.twitter.com/KY34DbcjLo — Magnus Carlsen (@MagnusCarlsen) September 26, 2022This chess drama began earlier this month, and has only continued to snowball in recent days.

It began when Niemann, a much lower-ranked competitor, beat Carlsen in a match during the 2022 Sinquefield Cup in St. Louis.

“I believe that cheating in chess is a big deal and an existential threat to the game,” Carlsen’s statement reads.

Craig Mazin and HBO’s The Last of Us looks like it’ll largely stick to the story laid out in developer Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us, taking Joel and Ellie through a fungus-ravaged United States.

But judging from the trailer, there’s at least one major exception: Melanie Lynskey.

She’s playing a character named Kathleen, a “ruthless leader of a revolutionary movement in Kansas City,” an HBO representative told Polygon.

Between Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Jackson, Wyoming, it sounds like Ellie and Joel will also visit Kansas City, Missouri.

At that time, HBO said Sam and Henry were “hiding from a revolutionary movement seeking vengeance,” and it looks like Lynskey’s Kathleen is the ringlead…

Publisher Fantasy Flight Games quickly got a foothold in hobby stores and established a nascent organized play circuit; the game felt like it was poised to become the next big CCG.

Petersen founded Fantasy Flight in 1995.

In 2014 Asmodee, a large multinational corporation with dozens of popular board games under its umbrella, snatched up Fantasy Flight.

Also a veteran of Fantasy Flight Games, he was among the executives in the room when co-creator Richard Garfield (Magic: The Gathering) first pitched a prototype using — what else?

The deck then gets a name and unique art on the back of each card, similarly generated by the same algorithm.

The heroes of Marvel Comics are currently having some trouble with being harshly judged by an unstoppable space-god.

Welcome to Monday Funnies, Polygon’s weekly list of the books that our comics editor enjoyed this past week.

It’s part society pages of superhero lives, part reading recommendations, part “look at this cool art.” There may be some spoilers.

“Which,” the Progenitor said, “apparently, a mailbox cannot do.”I’ve been skimming the pre-End of Spider-Verse anthology issues, Edge of Spider-Verse, pretty hard.

I guess it’s just hard to invent a cool new Spider-Variant these days after so many official and fan-created ones have gone before.

But traditional initiative order can be a little boring.

Combat can be high-stakes, and once you’re locked into a fixed initiative order, that can put some players at a disadvantage.

Developers at Corvus Belli wanted something more exciting for their upcoming game Warcrow Adventures.

“We developed an initiative system for Aristeia, one other game that we published five years ago,” said Alberto Abal, game designer at Corvus Belli.

Like many other new board games, Corvus Belli’s latest effort is driven by an app.

Do you listen to podcasts, binge tv, or watch video game streams while playing video games?

Everyone these days has a smartphone that can watch live streams or play games (or even both at the same time).

That’s the question I tried to answer in my video about video game multitasking.

I also discovered some intriguing trends among multitaskers and categorized the most popular multitasking games that came up in my research.

Netflix newest investment in video games is opening its first internal game development studio from the ground up, built for the streaming giant from the ground up.

The new studio — the fourth games studio owned by Netflix — will be based in Helsinki, Finland, and will bolster Netflix’s efforts to bring “engaging original games” to their hundreds of millions of subscribers around the world, vice president of Netflix’s Game Studios said.

The studio purchased another Helsinki-based studio called Next Games earlier this year, and previously acquired Oxenfree developer Night School Studio and Boss Fight Entertainment.

House of the Dragon’s sixth episode, “The Princess and the Queen,” was a particularly difficult one for almost everybody on the show.

Among these characters was Laena Velaryon, daughter of Corlys Velaryon and Rhaenys Targaryen, and now Daemon Targaryen’s second wife.

Viewers knew Laena best as the 12-year-old girl from episode 2 who spoke to Viserys about dragons before pitching him on marriage (which he politely declined).

Laena and Daemon wound up having two children during the 10-year time jump, and Laena spends most of the sixth episode pregnant with what would be their third.

In Fire & Blood, Laena undergoes a particularly difficult labor before giving birth to a stillborn child, much …

Since then we’ve gotten numerous 3D Mario games, modern 2D “New” Super Mario Bros. games, and even Mario games where you can make other Mario games.

They use a wide variety of game styles in the levels too, with Super Mario World making up 24 courses, Super Mario Bros. 3 making up 14, and the final two courses made in the original Super Mario Bros. style.

HBO will soon have a new post-apocalyptic world as it premiered the first trailer for The Last of Us on Monday.

The network announced the series’ premiere is coming in 2023.

The series is created by Craig Mazin, the creator and writer behind HBO’s Chernobyl.

The series will be led by Game of Thrones breakout stars Pedro Pascal, who will play Joel, and Bella Ramsey, who will play Ellie.

The Last of Us will feature 10 episodes in its first season, and there’s been no official announcement of a second season.

Gudetama the lazy egg is getting their own show on Netflix, and the streaming giant released the first trailer over the weekend as part of the Tudum fan event.

Gudetama: An Eggcellent Adventure will premiere on the streaming service later this year, on Dec. 13.

The trailer sees Gudetama team up with a tiny chick, Shakipiyo, on an adventure to find their mother — although Gudetama is obviously reluctant to do anything at all.

Yuko Hara of the Southern All Stars will sing the Gudetama March theme song for the series.

The show’s IMDB page suggests Gudetama: An Eggcellent Adventure’s first season will run for ten episodes.

Battlefield 2042 Season 2 continues today with the arrival of update 2.1, which most notably reworks the (appropriately named) map Renewal.

Getting around the game will be quicker too - as Battlefield adds the Polaris RZR buggy as an in-world vehicle.

Eurogamer's Battlefield fan Ishraq came away largely impressed by Battlefield 2042's main Season 2 update a month ago.

"Despite my positive impressions of what's to come, Battlefield 2042 is in dire need of more content," he wrote at the time.

Just last week, EA exec Vince Zampella admitted Battlefield 2042 "strayed too far from what Battlefield is" and that its developers didn't spend "enough time iterating on what makes that fun".

Netflix is forming its own in-house game studio, as it seeks to rely less on third-party developers.

The new studio will be based in Helsinki and led by Marko Lastikka as director, formerly of Zynga and EA.

The studio will create "world class" original games without ads or in-app purchases, reports Engadget.

Previously-purchased developers include The Walking Dead mobile developer Next Games (bought back in March) and Oxenfree creator Night School Studio.

Still, Netflix is slowly adding social features to its games service, with game handles now available in games like Into The Breach.

E3 will return as an in-person event next year in June, with three days given over to industry attendees and two days for the general public.

Next year will see the LACC's two main halls divided into separate spaces for industry attendees and those attending as fans - similar to how the various halls are separated at Gamescom.

Over the event's four days, the first three will be open to industry personnel, media, developers and publishers.

The concluding two days (with one day of overlap) will be geared more towards fans meeting developers, content creators and media personalities.

There will also be a "dedicated theatre of content" open for fans to watch.

Certain Affinity, the studio long-rumoured to be building a battle royale mode for Halo Infinite, has offered up a fresh hint of its plans for the project.

The developer - which has assisted with work on the Halo series from as far back as Halo 2 - was reported to be working on a new battle royale mode back in January.

The recently added Patch 6.2 was arguably Final Fantasy 14's most diverse update yet.

In my eyes, the ultimate ideal is not 'playing all the game content' but 'being able to choose what content you want to play'.

23 сентября Минобороны и Минцифры Российской Федерации дали разъяснения о том, касается ли частичная мобилизация IT-специалистов.

Суть разъяснения Минобороны РФ состоит в том, что «освобождаются от призыва некоторые категории граждан, имеющие высшее образование и работающие в ключевых организациях в сфере финансов, IT и СМИ«.

Речь идет не о полном освобождении от мобилизации, а об отсрочкеСудя по формулировкам обращения Минобороны, подразумевается бронирование специалистов.

With more eyes on mobile games than ever before, in-game advertising is also an increasingly important part of mobile growth strategies.

Why in-game advertising is boomingWhen iOS 14 was first announced, average opt-in rate predictions were as low as 5%, but fortunately things are not nearly that dire.

This makes in-game advertising a particularly compelling option for mobile marketers.

Meanwhile, eight mobile games had their biggest ever year in 2021, generating over $1 billion each.

If you don’t already have an in-game advertising strategy in place, now is the time to develop one.

Brian Ayers has died at the age of 42.

The Sega Europe product marketing manager passed away on Friday, September 23 "after a short illness," according to a JustGiving fund for funeral costs.

Ayers was approaching his one-year anniversary at Sega Europe, having previously worked in similar positions at other publishers in a career that stretched over nine years.

Prior to joining Sega, he was senior product marketing manager at Paradox Interactive – a role that followed almost five years as senior brand manager at Capcom.

Stray was the highest selling new release of the past week, landing at No.3 in its debut week.

The City of London Police today announced that they arrested a 17-year-old in Oxfordshire on suspicion of hacking as part of a UK National Cyber Crime Unit investigation.

While the authorities did not specify details of the hack in question, journalist Matthew Keys said a source with knowledge of the matter told him the arrest stemmed from the Rockstar Games hack that led to the GTA 6 leak.

Uber said it was working with the FBI in that case, and Keys reported the FBI was likewise involved in the National Cyber Crime Unit investigation.

The City of London Police said the child remains in custody.

I don't think that's the case wtih video games, but believe that is the appropriate place for gambling.

Gaming and gambling have long been close cousins; pinball machines in particular were outlawed as gambling devices in many cities across North America for decades.

There's usually a wall between the video gaming and the gambling – Konami and Sega have their gambling businesses broken out into separate divisions, for example – but there have also been efforts to erode the barriers between gambling and video games.

But clearly gambling and gambling-like mechanics have taken root in video games, and there's obviously a segment of the audience that welcomes it.

Taken together, these things have provoked a fair bit of discussion about the morals of leaking information and subsequently disseminating that leaked information or reporting on its content.

Public interest can be a reasonable defence for doing underhanded things to obtain information in some circumstances, generally when that information pertains to wrongdoing of some kind.

It actually doesn’t have anything to do with who is annoyed or pissed off at the news being reported – the moral calculus relies instead entirely on the question of public interest.

Is it something the publisher wants to keep hidden, and is its hiding causing harm which reporting upon it might help to alleviate?

Or is …

Valve has launched a new Steam Charts section on its marketplace to give better insight into the best-selling and highest-earning hits.

The new top-selling list is calculated on total revenue of each title, encompassing full-game purchases, DLC sales and in-game transactions.

Steam has had Top Sellers lists for over ten years, but this revamp makes several improvements to how the rankings are decided and shared.

Valve will also update the weekly charts to show the Top 100 best-selling games based on revenue every Monday at 10am PT.

Users can also browse through previous weeks' charts, with the historical archive going all the way back to 2005, when there were only three games available: Hal…

Wired Productions has formally opened Black Razor Records, its new music label.

The video game publisher said that with the music division it intends to "bridge the gap between the video game and music worlds."

Black Razor's first album release will be Arcade Paradise, a four EP from the game of the same name.

"As we are independent, we choose the projects we work on, so our first release combines our favorite things… video games, great music and supporting a video game mental health charity…" said Wired Productions managing director Leo Zullo.

In addition, the company said that all of the Arcade Paradise soundtrack proceeds from Bandcamp will be donated to mental health non-profit, Safe In…

It's been 11 years since the creation of League of Geeks and the Australian studio starting development on its debut title, the very successful Armello.

And seven years after Armello's Early Access launch, League of Geeks is finally ready to unveil a second title.

Instead, League of Geeks has the support of games fund Kowloon Nights, which aligns better with its business model, Kusters says.

We've got everyone from your four-person Untitled Goose Game studio, to Sledgehammer making Call of Duty.

"So that's really what triple-I mean.

Theorycraft Games announced that its raised $50 million in a Series B funding round.

Theorycraft says that the new investment will go towards development of its first title, codenamed Loki and expansion of its workforce.

Additionally, the studio announced that Jon Belliss, who previously served as game director of League of Legends, has joined on.

During the month of May, Andrew Yip was hired by Theorycraft for the role of lead game systems designer.

Last year, Theorycraft secured $37.5 million in Series A funding round.

E3 2023 will start with several press- and industry-only days, after which the doors will open to fans looking to have a good time trying all the latest games.

The convention’s industry attendees will meet from June 13-15, while June 15-16 are the “Gamer Days” for fans.

This is similar to how Gamescom runs, and should help alleviate the miserable congestion that plagued E3 ever since it opened to the public.

Publishers have already been running their own showcase events for years now, and much of the hype cycle has gone fully or partially digital.

I’m sure that E3 will be fine.

Today, September 26, is the awkwardly titled “The Last Of Us Day.” As part of this annual international day of celebration, developer Naughty Dog has released 10 new animated gifs featuring characters from the game, like Joel and Ellie.

The Last Of Us Day started back in 2013, and was originally titled Outbreak Day, which is definitely a better, less clunky name.

And today, in honor of the celebration, Naughty Dog has released 10 new animated gifs featuring characters from the series, inspired by popular online memes.

It’s time to get yourself in the The Last Of Us Day day spirit.

But the team had even more gifs to share and that’s what’s been released today on Giphy.

Pokémon TCG’s latest Sword & Shield set, Lost Origin, has been out for a couple of weeks now.

That’s long enough that the community has settled on which cards are the most desirable, and thus the most valuable when trading or selling.

A Pokémon card’s value is generally determined by the combination of two factors: the rarity, and the playability.

(You could argue Brilliant Stars is the more over-all valuable set, given the number of over $20 cards in there, but even its alt-art Charizard V doesn’t quite scrape the $200 mark.)

So let’s crack on with the top 25 most valuable cards in Lost Origin.

Released back in 2007, the first Assassin’s Creed took the world by storm and kicked off a large and still ongoing franchise, one of Ubisoft’s most successful, too.

Instead, for this list, we are looking at all the main entries and picking out the best and worst aspects of each.

Some come, hop off a building, and crash into all these words like a wannabe assassin.

The hype behind NFTs eventually caught the attention of the wider video game industry, but gamers have been fiercely critical of any such plans.

Unfortunately, blockchain technology has been a casualty of the NFT crossfire.

The complex ownership structures and rights agreements that exist within the video games industry can make managing rights and royalty payments challenging.

Now, this process only takes four minutes, thanks to the Smart Contracts deployed through the blockchain technology they implemented back in 2020.

After becoming a prominent player in the battle royale genre, the spinoff is receiving a sequel update dubbed Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0.

With an all-new map filled with diverse terrain and vehicle options, Warzone 2.0 offers a remixed and more refined experience than before.

Warzone 2.0 is taking players to a new location called Al Mazrah.

The teams that survive within the separate circles then get corralled into the final single circle to end the match in dramatic fashion.

Prepare to jump into Warzone 2.0 when it lands on PS5 and PS4 on November 16.

The free “Anniversary Update” for Kena: Bridge of Spirits will be live on PS4 and PS5 on Tuesday, September 27.

Lastly, we love having a good variety of options that enable self expression and the ability to switch things up as we go.

We decided these characters provided perfect inspiration for Kena’s outfits.

We hope our existing and new players enjoy all the new content included in our “Anniversary Update,” including Kena’s new cosmetics.

It has truly been a fantastic first year sharing Kena: Bridge of Spirits with the world.

Today we are so happy (and a little bit shocked) to celebrate the 20-year anniversary of Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus!

Before we ready our party hats and cake, we have some brand new Sly Cooper merchandise to reveal today to celebrate the milestone.

First, original Sly Cooper art director Dev Madan created an absolutely stunning tribute to 20 years of Sly, with a beautiful original piece of art jam-packed with references and easter eggs.

And finally today, our friends at Fangamer have created a brand new Sly Cooper 20th Anniversary Plush!

Thank you for 20 years of support for Sly Cooper!

And so, within the first few months of development, Tunic had its own language, and the beginnings of its own manual.

In its final form, the manual is something you collect gradually as you play through the game.

We tried to capture that same variety in Tunic’s manual, with professionals handling the lavish side of things, and me providing the doodles.

Another important part of capturing the feeling of leafing through an old-school manual was its physicality.

To help make it feel as real as possible, I built a real-world version of the manual and then proceeded to destroy it.

Player expectations are high for Activision and Infinity Ward’s upcoming Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II.

Much like the 2019 Modern Warfare, this new title sets out to give you greater creativity to provide an extra edge, which means even more fun.

Move how you wantThe defining word for Modern Warfare II is “choice.” You have so many options present that you can define your playstyle and gameplay across every mode.

Unique tricks of the tradeAnother significant expansion to how Modern Warfare II plays comes from all new lethal, tactical, and special equipment.

This case is seen extensively with the attachment system in Modern Warfare II.

This is your Genshin Impact dev team, and today, we’d like to show you more about the other part of Sumeru arriving with Version 3.1 “King Deshret and the Three Magi” on September 28.

In addition, three Sumeru characters: Candace, Cyno, and Nilou will join the cast of playable characters.

In the center of the desert lies the massive Mausoleum of King Deshret.

A half-blood descendant of King Deshret, Candace guards Aaru Village with her shield, polearm, and a Hydro Vision.

Cyno and Candace will be available during the Event Wishes in the first half of Version 3.1, coinciding with Venti’s rerun.

Character CreationBefore launching yourself into the supernatural world of Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, you’ll need to create a character up to the challenge.

When the bar is almost maxed out, it’s a great time to unleash your most powerful Wizardry Spells.

Having a high Morale will make you stronger and also unlock new Wizardry Spells.

WizardryAs your Morale raises, you’ll unlock more Wizardry Spells that are based around your character’s chosen phase.

These Wizardry Spells vary from element to element and include everything from offensive to defensive skills.

Plus a closer look at what else is included in the Resident Evil Village Gold Edition, out October 28.

I’m Tsuyoshi Kanda, Producer of Resident Evil Village.

Today, I wanted to share more information with you about the Winters’ Expansion DLC and Resident Evil Village Gold Edition, which includes both the base game and Winters’ Expansion.

This mode was something that fans were requesting since the launch of the original Resident Evil Village.

The Winters’ Expansion DLC, which includes all of the above 3 contents, as well as Resident Evil Village Gold Edition, which is a bundle of the Winter’s Expansion and the base game, will be both available on Oct. 28.

We revealed details on World Tour where you can create your own avatar and truly customize your Street Fighter 6 experience.

The lighthouse in base-building survival management game Diluvian Winds is no different.

As the lighthouse keeper (you're also a walrus) you need to manage a small crew of animal inhabitants, putting them to work procuring food, gathering resources, building structures, and making repairs.

And, oh yeah, occasionally a massive tsunami washes over the lighthouse and smashes the place to smithereens.

If you're low on food, the weather is getting dire, and the lighthouse flame is nearly out, you may have to prioritize wood gathering above nourishment.

Building new structures costs wood, too, so choosing to expand your base at the expense of a healthy lighthouse flame is tricky, too.

Northrend is a vast continent so you'll want to unlock Cold Weather Flying as soon as you can in World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King Classic.

One of the benefits of unlocking Cold Weather Flying on one of your characters is that you can buy an item that lets any alts you have learn it, too.

So, if you're ready to learn how to soar through the skies of the chilly northern continent, here's how to unlock flying in Wrath Classic.

Wrath Classic flying: How to unlockFirst up, you need to be level 77 or higher to learn Cold Weather Flying on your first character.

Audio player loading…On Tuesday evening NASA will attempt to crash a spacecraft into an asteroid 7 million miles away in the hopes of knocking it off its course.

NASA claims the pair pose no threat to Earth, so think of it as a practice run for the real deal.

DART (Double Asteroid Redirection Test) is NASA's vending machine-sized spacecraft charged with the critical mission.

At 170 meters, Dimorphos is considered a "tiny asteroid," according to Tom Statler, NASA mission program specialist in a press conference.

You can watch the live feed (opens in new tab) of NASA's DART Spacecraft smack into Asteroid Dimorphos at 7:14 pm ET.

Audio player loading…After months of speculation, leaks, and all-around confusion, the future of the Silent Hill (opens in new tab) series has grown even more bewildering thanks to something called Silent Hill: The Short Message, which was recently rated by South Korea's Game Rating and Administration Committee.

More recently, it was rumored that Layers of Fear studio Bloober Team had joined up with Konami to remake Silent Hill 2 (opens in new tab).

Amidst all of that, Guillermo Del Toro managed to slip in a good zing (opens in new tab) at the 2021 Game Awards.

Despite the lack of anything concrete, the sheer persistence of the rumor makes it believable that something's brewing, and the obv…

Audio player loading…The Epic Store saw the launch of its first NFT game today, Blankos Block Party (opens in new tab), a sort of Roblox-like creation game powered by everyone's favorite tech snake oil, Web3 and the blockchain.

Our writeup (opens in new tab) at the time contains dark portents of what was to come.

The "Social Multiplayer Party Game" has a robust-looking level editor, one that reminds me of Fortnite Creative or Little Big Planet and could, under the right circumstances, foster a similar environment of user creativity.

Steam took a hardline stance against blockchain games, while the Epic Store has left the door open to NFTs (opens in new tab).

Time will tell if Epic will reap …

But that's all about to change thanks to a major update that has brought the Altar of Hope (opens in new tab), a permanent base similar to the Hamlet in Darkest Dungeon where players can unlock classes, items, and other upgrades.

"It’s always better to make it to the next Inn," developer Red Hook Studios said.

The only exception to that rule is for players who make it to the mountain, the home of Darkest Dungeon 2's current final boss: Even if you ultimately fail in your quest, you'll keep all candles earned.

"While their Mastery level will be reset, surviving heroes will also keep their Hero Path, quirks, and name," Red Hook explained.

The Altar of Hope update is live today on the Darkest …

Audio player loading…HBO Max has revealed its first full teaser (opens in new tab) for the upcoming The Last of Us TV show.

The nearly two minute trailer shows a montage of scenes from the show, prominently featuring Pedro Pascal's Joel and Bella Ramsey (who you may remember as Lyana Mormont in Game of Thrones) as Ellie.

Just some extra stomp and clap "bwaam bwaam" added when the action gets heavy, no full cover with mournful, distorted vocals like every other serious streaming show trailer.

The trailer offers a few oblique glances of the infected without showing off too much, including the tasteful un-reveal of a super close-up on a Clicker's face.

Plus, it's always just nice to see Pedro …

It pays to know each of the Wrath of the Lich King Classic zone level requirements when you're ready to start your adventure into Northrend.

Below you'll find a breakdown of each of the new Wrath Classic zones, along with their suggested level range.

WoW: Wrath Classic zone levelsZone Level range Scarlet Enclave 55-58 Borean Tundra 68-72 Howling Fjord 68-72 Dragonblight 71-75 Grizzly Hills 73-75 Zul'Drak 74-76 Sholazar Basin 76-78 Crystalsong Forest 77-80 Icecrown 77-80 Storm Peaks 77-80 Wintergrasp (PvP zone) 77-80The first zone on the list is the Scarlet Enclave, the starting zone for Death Knights, so unless you roll the new hero class for yourself, you won't get to see this particular a…

"There is a 'challenge,' from time to time a lot of tension.

To create, you need a little friction, because everyone has to succeed in getting their idea across.

He echoed those sentiments in response to criticism of his comment in this interview, saying that "there is absolutely no place for toxicity at Ubisoft or in our industry."

Guillemot and Ubisoft have previously pointed to employee surveys indicating that the company is moving in the right direction, including in the recent GamesIndustry interview.

But those too have fallen under criticism from some employees for lacking context and specificity (opens in new tab).

As spotted by MarshSMT on Twitter, the developer is suing two fans (operating under Rekuiemu Games and COMP_Hack) for copyright infringement over its MMO Shin Megami Tensei Imagine Online.

The game's official servers shut down in May 2016, with the revived fan server cropping up sometime in late 2020.

A website that Atlus says is a "blatant copy" of the original Imagine website was also allegedly operated by Rekuiemu.

ReImagine, another fan server dedicated to the MMO, released a statement on its Discord server announcing it too would be closing its doors.

"So with a heavy heart, we regret to inform everyone that the decision has been made to close down the ReImagine server permanently."

And then leading man Lloyd wakes up on the train to Crossbell City, with absolutely no idea what that weird dream he just had was about.

There's no point denying it—the English side of the internet is now several Trails of Cold Steels (opens in new tab) too late to experience Zero in its intended slot in the increasingly complex Trails series.

While those more recent RPGs were released in English between 2017 and 2021, it's taken a full 12 years for Trails from Zero to finally be localised.

Not understanding exactly what's going on in Trails from Zero means the player is in exactly the same boat as its lead character.

They're Special Support Section police officers—and more importantly they…

Audio player loading…We declared earlier this year that E3 should never be in-person again (opens in new tab), but E3 apparently wasn't listening.

The big event will return to the Los Angeles Convention Center begining on June 13, 2023 with E3 Business Days, which will be restricted to "registered industry personnel" for hands-on time with upcoming games and probably lots of meetings and stuff.

E3 Business Days will run until June 15.

A noble goal to be sure, but it remains to be seen whether anyone actually wants that week back.

Details on what's in store for E3 2023, including exhibitors, schedules, and hotel and travel guides, will be released in the coming months.

512 Audio is one such company that's taking its pro audio know-how and cramming it into the more wallet-friendly Tempest microphone.

I guess the thinking is if you can make a mic good enough for Green Day, it should be good enough for your true crime podcast.

The desktop stand is probably the thing I like the least about the Tempest.

This means it's almost impossible to use the desktop stand and shock mount together in any meaningful way since the shock mount would make the microphone too heavy for the desktop stand to support.

512 Audio's Tempest is one of the more impressive sounding USB microphones I've gotten to use in a while.

Wrath of the Lich King Classic introduces a large northern continent just waiting to be explored—or revisited in many cases.

You can choose between Borean Tundra to the southwest or Howling Fjord over on the southeastern corner of the new continent.

(Image credit: Blizzard ) The zeppelin tower in Tirisfal Glades that goes to Howling Fjord.

If you decide you want to start questing in this area, you'll need to travel to reach the departure point.

Otherwise, you'll need to run there from the closest one you have—this shouldn't be too much of a bother because of your level.

Consider this leveling guide your cheat sheet to reach level 80 quickly in the new Wrath Classic expansion.

If you're ready to start exploring Northrend, or want some general tips for lower-level characters, this Wrath Classic leveling guide will set you on the right path.

(Image credit: Blizzard)Choices, choicesUnlike Burning Crusade Classic, Wrath Classic gives you two locations where you can begin your journey into Northrend.

If you want a more cinematic and story-driven opener to Wrath Classic, then Howling Fjord is perfect for you.

(Image credit: Blizzard)While it is incredibly exciting that Wrath Classic has finally arrived, it’s going to be here for a relatively long time.

Stress Level Zero is amping up the hype for Bonelab’s release later this week with new video of its player abilities captured on Quest 2.

The latest video posted by Stress Level Zero’s Brandon J Laatsch shows fast-paced gameplay captured on Quest 2, which is promised to run at 90Hz on the standalone headset.

The video also shows rocketing into the air from jump-pads and mid-air slow-motion.

pic.twitter.com/k8CbvLBfDC — Brandon J Laatsch (@BrandonJLa) September 26, 2022Last week Stress Level Zero revealed the imminent release on Quest 2 and SteamVR, releasing on September 29th for $39.99.

Laastch also tweeted that Quest store buyers will get the PC version of the game from the Oculus store.

Social VR platform Rec Room announced it’s released a new creation suite that allows you to publish content directly to the Rec Room platform from inside Unity, essentially letting its users create content using a host of industry standard tools.

Before the Studio update, Rec Room creators would build rooms and objects by using an in-game tool called the Maker Pen, which allows you to spawn basic shapes, specific creation tools, props, and community-built assets.

The Maker Pen is surprisingly flexible and provides a good onramp to content creation, although it’s decidedly limiting for would-be developers who are already familiar with the standard game development tools.

Rec Room is availabl…

Six years on from Affected: The Manor, Fallen Planet Studios has revealed that direct follow up Affected: The Asylum launches in 2023.

Revealed during EGX London’s VR Game Spotlight, Affected: The Asylum promises a story-driven adventure across three acts.

Set inside Red Park Asylum, strange occurrences like ghosts have recently been spotted in this abandoned building.

With curiosity getting the better of us, we’ll investigate the scene for evidence, and Fallen Planet Studios warns us to watch out for “chilling encounters” with The Nurse.

We had positive impressions in our Affected: The Manor review for Samsung Gear VR.

People ask VR sculptor Simon Clark why he’s building a full-size Tyrannosaurus Rex and 3D printing it one piece at a time.

He already sold the smaller one he made in 2020 and his ongoing learning process in VR modelling has brought him to new tools with bigger aspirations.

He used SculptrVR for his initial work, but he’s got his hands in Shapelab now and is moving the work into tools like Blender, animating them in Masterpiece Motion, and even publishing them for visitors in VRChat.

Clark’s T-Rex is available in one VRChat world while another is home to a collection of large-size animated insects he’s designed.

“We are still only early days of this whole VR development creativity side of th…

Bafta-nominated puzzle adventure Call of the Sea is getting a surprise VR adaptation, releasing next year on Meta Quest 2.

Initially launched for PC, Xbox, and PlayStation, Call of the Sea first arrived in 2020 and was later nominated for BAFTA’s Best Immersive Game.

Developer Out of the Blue and publisher Raw Fury hasn’t confirmed much else about Call of the Sea’s VR adaptation.

Call of the Sea VR launches in 2023 on Meta Quest 2, though pricing details remain unconfirmed.

Will you be picking up Call of the Sea VR?

In addition to the consumer-focused Pico 4 headset announced this week, the company has also announced a Pico 4 Pro variant aimed at enterprise use-cases.

With the announcement of Pico 4 this week, Pico is squaring up to compete with Meta’s Quest 2.

Alongside the announcement of Pico 4, the company announced Pico 4 Pro.

While the Pico 4 also includes a motorized drive, it lacks eye-tracking so the IPD value must be set manually.

On the software side, however, Pico 4 Pro will be substantially different.

Rec Room Studio is an upcoming PC-based creation tool powered by Unity which lets creators build higher fidelity worlds.

Rec Room Studio “will bring top quality graphics and animations to fingertips of the creator community,” according to the startup.

The new software is “coming soon” with Rec Room taking sign ups for a private beta.

Rec Room is also available now as a standalone PC client.

The competition between platforms like VRChat, Rec Room.

“Yes, this Thursday,” developer Stress Level Zero clarifies in its release date trailer.

So September 29 — just six days from this writing — Quest 2 and SteamVR players can explore the follow-up to 2019’s immensely popular PC VR title Boneworks.

Developer Stress Level Zero published the 4-minute Bonelab release date trailer today offering some of our best-ever views of the game.

The follow-up to Boneworks has been promised for standalone VR since before the original’s release in 2019.

The new title promises the ability to import custom avatars alongside a “layered narrative” with “game locations including arenas, obstacle courses, tactical trials, sandboxes, experimental modes, and user gen…

Bonelab the anticipated followup to VR physics sandbox adventure Boneworks (2019), is due to launch next week after a surprise release date announcement from developer Stress Level Zero.

Along with the game’s release date, new Bonelab gameplay shows a unique avatar-swapping mechanic.

So we’re surprised to see the studio today announce a sudden release date for Bonelab: next week on Thursday, September 29th.

The game is set to launch simultaneously on Quest 2 and SteamVR (the original Quest will not be supported).

Alongside the release date announcement, the studio also dropped the best look at Bonelab gameplay yet, featuring a unique avatar-swapping mechanic which allows players to quickly …

Meta researchers demonstrated Quest 2 body tracking without extra trackers.

PC headsets using SteamVR tracking support worn extra trackers such as HTC’s Vive Tracker, but the three needed for body tracking cost north of $350 and thus this isn’t supported in most games.

Given these issues, QuestSim would only be suitable for seeing other people’s avatar bodies, not seeing your own body when looking down.

Having legs on your own avatar that don’t match your real legs is very disconcerting to people.

The Meta Connect annual AR/VR event takes place in just over 2 weeks, so any body tracking announcement would likely take place during it.

Pico says it is planning a world-building toolset for making content in VR much like Meta’s Horizon Worlds.

In Pico’s announcement video today, immediately after confirmation that Rec Room is coming to Pico 4, the company showed what looked like conceptual mockups for the tools.

Labeled “Project Pico Worlds”, the work is pitched as offering avatar customization and world-building tools.

“When we were developing the Pico social experience it isn’t about creating a new platform,” a Pico representative says in the video.

Meta, meanwhile, has promised both Web-based and mobile phone support for Horizon Worlds.

Like its predecessor, Pico 4’s battery is housed in the rear of the strap.

Pico says Pico 4’s field of view is 105° diagonal.

Pico 4’s lenses are stepless and motorized, supporting interpupillary distances (IPDs) of 62～72mm.

Chip & RAMPico 4 and Quest 2 are powered by the same Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 processor as other major current standalone headsets.

Quest 2’s base model with 128GB storage is priced at €449, and a model with 256GB of storage at €549.

Pico 4 will have one of the most popular apps for wirelessly streaming PC VR games like Half-Life: Alyx and Boneworks.

Virtual Desktop’s developer Guy Godin confirmed that his app “will be available on the new Pico 4 as well as the Pico Neo 3.

You’ll be able to stream all your favorite SteamVR and Oculus games wirelessly.”Pico 4 will have its own method for wirelessly streaming PC VR content and Pico Neo 3 Link even offered a wired Displayport option, but Virtual Desktop is a popular multi-purpose utility that makes it easy to operate your PC in VR and access content stored on it.

Godin frequently updates the software with new features as well and, in addition to PC VR games from a VR-ready…

Developer Thomas Van Bouwel added a level editor to his puzzle game Cubism.

You can check out the level editor now in the game on Quest or Steam.

The editor is offline-only but puzzles can be saved as files saved to your hard drive on PC or locally on Quest.

He said his initial tool was buggy and unintuitive, however, so he rebuilt it for public release.

“I am looking into maybe adding online puzzle sharing at some point,” Van Bouwel said.
