Fortnite changes faster and more dynamically than any other ongoing game. Yesterday’s epic finale to the two-year-long Chapter 2 event was again met with a radical shakeup to Fortnite’s core gameplay formula. For the start of Chapter 3 – which begins today – developer Epic Games introduces a new gameplay movement through a character who

A side effect of fatherhood is that I now see everything through my five-year-old’s eyes. Hot Wheels Unleashed is, to me, most likely a middling racing game and lesser Trackmania – but then, if I think about it, I know my kid would love it. Hot Wheels Unleashed’s Batman expansion, featuring a handful of cars
Update 12/03/21 7:19 p.m. Central time: A new report from The Washington Post further details today’s layoffs at Raven Software. According to the outlet, “at least a dozen” contractors on Raven’s QA team have been let go. As the outlet points out, that’s about one-third of the QA department’s overall testers. More contractors are expected to
It’s the launch of a new MMO expansion, and you know what that means: queues. Early access to Final Fantasy XIV’s Endwalker expansion kicked off today and players are reporting hours-long waits, frequent errors and more while trying to join servers. In a forum post, Endwalker’s developers say that the game’s surge in popularity over
Sony is reportedly working on an Xbox Game Pass competitor that will include three tiers of service and essentially see PlayStation Plus and PlayStation Now merge. This news comes by way of a new Bloomberg report that says the service will be subscription-based, much like Sony’s current Plus and Now offerings and of course, Xbox Game
The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe is now “content complete” and will launch in early 2022. This news comes by way of developers Crows Crows Crows and a new trailer that pokes fun at themselves for the development delays thus far.
Battlefield 2042 had quite the rocky start when it launched just a few weeks ago, mainly regarding bugs that plagued the experience for many players. Recent updates, such as Update 3, which was revealed yesterday, indicate that EA is committed to improving the 2042 experience. Now, new shake-ups at the company provide further evidence that
Every year, streamers Yogscast host Jingle Jam, a charity livestream. This year’s edition has just kicked off, and if you donate a minimum of £35/$47 you’ll receive the Jingle Jam 2021 Games Collection. It’s a bundle of over 50 games including several indie greats, such as Wildermyth, Heaven’s Vault, Northgard and Unrailed.
Battlefield 2042 launched just a few weeks ago, and if the conversation surrounding it can be summarized by one word, that word is “bugs.” Game Informer’s own reviewer said 2042 is “an otherwise solid online shooter bogged down by an abundance of bugs,” and that’s a sentiment echoed across the entire battlefield discourse. To EA and DICE’s
Halo Infinite surprise-launched its multiplayer a couple of weeks ago. People seem to like it a lot, grindy and unrewarding battle pass aside. If you, like me, are more interested in the game for its singleplayer, then have a gander below for the launch trailer put together ahead of the campaign’s December 8th release.
Players have had plenty of time to dive into Halo Infinite’s multiplayer experience, but as we move closer and closer to the December 8th launch date, anticipation has been building for the campaign experience as well. After weeks of throwing around the oddball and hacking up competitors with the sizzling sword, is it time to
Here we are, chums, Cyber Monday. Ahh, how the mighty have fallen. What was once an interesting online addition to the Black Friday feeding frenzy, is now a withered and useless appendage. We all shop online now and Black Friday lasts for at least three months of the year. Well, either that or I’m in
13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim, the sci-fi strategy adventure game by Vanillaware (makers of Odin Sphere and Dragon’s Crown), is making its way to Switch on April 12. The game has only been available on PlayStation 4 since it launched in March 2020. The game blends side-scrolling visual novel adventure with real-time strategy. Players control 13
Well, chums, Black Friday itself has been and gone. I’m still here though, highlighting deals for you, because we’re in deals season now and the ride is going to continue all through to Christmas and the New Year beyond! The whole Black Friday phenomenon is very weird if you’re old enough to predate online shopping
As those of you who have been hiding behind my sofa, or just read our “What are we all buying this Black Friday?” article, are aware, the top item on my Black Friday shopping list was a new chair. I did manage to procure a solid bottom-rest at a good discount and I’m very happy
When I write one of these Black Friday deal posts for your perusal, the first thing I do is light up a candle and delve into the dusty depths of the RPS archives to see if we have reviewed the product in question. Due to my lowly status, I’m not allowed to handle such hallowed
Next year’s free game on the Epic Games Store will be a big’un: Dead By Daylight. I’ve been impressed by the 1v4 multiplayer horror game, watching it steadily grow into one of Steam’s most popular after a while looking like it might slip a way, so that’s a nice get. But before then, Epic are
After limbering up your spending hand with smaller Black Friday sales in other digital games stores, I hope you’re ready for big one: the Steam Autumn Sale is now on. From now until next Wednesday, Valve’s PC game store has… so many discounts. So many. This brings the start of Valve’s Steam Awards too, with
