Master Chief makes his official television debut today, but you won’t find Microsoft’s iconic green Spartan soldier on traditional TV stations. Despite being produced by Showtime, the live-action adaptation of Halo can only be found on the Paramount+ streaming service. If you’re new to Paramount+ and haven’t had a subscription on file, you can sign up

Welcome to 2001’s hottest web technology: liveblogging! Rather than watch this evening’s Future Games Show spring showcase and then write several posts about the games of note therein (1-3, max), we thought we’d open a liveblog and parp little text farts amiably throughout the show. You can join in with your own parps! Let’s see
If you’re a fan of 2019’s Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and plan to visit Galaxy Edge at one of the Disney parks in the near future, there’s good news. As spotted by Venture Beat, Cal Kestis’ lightsaber hilt will soon be available to purchase, thanks to it winning a 2020 fan poll for requested legacy lightsabers.
Lots of open world games – or at least, those that I’ve played – steer you through their maps methodically. Jim, Dave, and Sally all have their map markers in Vice City for a portion of the game, then they’ll shift over to Tilted Towers after a few hours. Perhaps the bridge to Shrek’s Swamp
Fobia – St. Dinfna Hotel is a newly announced survival horror game opening its doors this year that invites players to survive a monster-infested hotel. Its resource management and puzzle-solving evoke shades of a modern Resident Evil in a way that has our attention, as does its time-traveling hook. Players control rookie journalist Roberto who
Cantata, the upcoming game from Afterschool Studio, is releasing in Early Access on the 12th of May. It’s a turn-based strategy game set during a surreal and futuristic war, where, shocker, the aim is to kill your opponent. The twist is that while you’re building your base in each encounter, you’ll also need to manage
The King of Fighters is known for having oppressive and cheap bosses that prey on players at the end of the given game’s arcade mode, and SNK is bringing back one of the most infamous boss characters in the series. Starting on April 14, Omega Rugal will be revived in The King of Fighters XV
CD Projekt have today announced they’re officially working on the next installment in The Witcher series. Whether this is The Witcher 4, though, we don’t know – only that it will be supposedly “kicking off a new saga for the franchise,” according to a statement on CD Projekt’s website. It will also be kicking off
Fortnite’s new season is here, and Marvel is once again in the spotlight. Players now have the chance to unlock Doctor Strange and Prowler as new skins. Iron Man is also making a return after a long hiatus. The new season kicks off today and runs into the summer. From March 30 to April 3,
After the finals of Arc Revo America, Arc System Works revealed DNF duel will be releasing this June. In a brief trailer showing plenty of Ghost Blade footage, it was announced that DNF Duel will be coming on June 28. The game will also be involved in multiple competitive events, including Arc World Tour 2022,
I loved Long Live The Queen and Black Closet, two games with heavily branching and systemic narratives and a lot of juicy melodrama, mystery and romance. Now developers Hanako Games have released something new. Night Cascades is a lesbian romance about two women investigating a supernatural mystery in an alternate 1980s, and it looks great.
It’s tradition that any sufficiently large modding community put Thomas The Tank Engine into a new game as quickly as possible. From Skyrim to Resident Evil Village and now, of course, Elden Ring.
Like prior weeks, we have plenty of new games to experience and even more great games to catch up on. This week saw the releases of extremely charming Zelda and Souls-like Tunic, and the nonsensical-yet-captivating Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin, and both are very much in play for spending time with this weekend. Will

Today’s PlayStation State of Play presentation focused solely on Avalanche Software and Portkey Games’ upcoming Harry Potter prequel game Hogwarts Legacy. The game puts players in the robes of a custom character and sends them to school at the legendary wizarding academy Hogwarts. However, Legacy takes place in the late 1800s, meaning players are free to
Starfield is surely the biggest game still to come in 2022, but details about Bethesda’s next major RPG continue to spill out only as a trickle. The latest Into The Starfield developer video offers more insight into the game than anything else I’ve seen so far. It contains almost no in-game footage, mind you, but
Rebellion’s latest in its sharpshooting World War II series, Sniper Elite 5 now has a release date, and it’s just a few months away. Fans of Karl Fairburne’s Nazi slaying adventures will get to play the new installment on May 26 when it releases globally. Along with the announcement, Rebellion has released a brand new
In a move befitting a game about immortal beings who live out countless repeating lives on artificial islands powered by human sacrifice, Paradise Killer is getting a re-release. Sort of. It’s coming to next-gen consoles today, with all platforms (including PC) getting some extra bits added for free that weren’t in the original 2020 release.
