Last week ended with a dire flood of layoffs in the games industry, including Sega, Ubisoft, Blizzard, and Epic games. Unfortunately, this week seems to be following the trend – Team17, developer of the Worms series, and publisher of games like Blasphemous, Dredge, and more, has announced layoffs as well, according to Eurogamer. The job losses, which

My love of ’90s first-person shooters is not matched by my enthusiasm for modern throwback ‘boomer shooters’. Of all the recent gib-fanciers, I lasted longest with Prodeus. It looked stunning, it felt great to play, and it ran niftily on my Steam Deck. Now there’s a new mini-campaign expansion on the way. The Elder Veil

Hunt: Showdown is one of our favourite multiplayer games. If you love dying in bushes, it might be one of yours, too. Developers Crytek have now outlined their roadmap of coming updates between now and the middle of 2024, and it includes an engine upgrade and new minimum specs.

12 years later, The Binding of Isaac remains my go-to roguelite. There have been some incredible Rogue-inspired games since, but nothing has quite stuck its disgusting, fly and poop-covered hooks in me like Edmund McMillen’s tale of a crying child fighting his murderous mother using the power of his tears. Yes, I’m in therapy, why

Update: A spokesperson for Sony sent Kotaku a statement regarding the delisted Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic reveal trailer, stating it was due to licensing issues.  Here’s what Sony told Kotaku: “As part of normal business, we delist assets with licensed music when the licenses expire.”  Curiously, this begs the question: why have the

Corsair’s recent Airflow cases have been great, mixing smart and stylish designs with huge cooling potential, and now you can pick up the mid-size 3000D Airflow for just £58 from TechNextDay via Ebay using the code SAVINGS20. By comparison, this case costs £80 on Ebay, making it a sweet little discount.

Epic Games has announced it is laying off roughly 16 percent of its workforce, resulting in around 830 employees losing their jobs. In a statement posted by Epic president Tim Sweeney, he explains the layoffs as a cost-cutting measure that will include divesting Bandcamp, which it acquired last year, and spinning off advertising platform SuperAwesome into

Developer Colossal Order and publisher Paradox Interactive have delayed the console release of Cities: Skylines II. Originally set to release on October 24 alongside the PC version, the team has delayed the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X versions of the game to spring of next year. The PC version will still launch next month. 

Teardown is a voxel-based simulation game all about destruction, as its name implies. It launched in April of last year on PC and earlier this year, developer Tuxedo Labs announced the game was coming to consoles this year. Now, the studio has revealed Teardown hits PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S on November 15.  When

Look alive, jarheads! Grab your Glocks and drop your – well, whatever you’re holding that isn’t a gun, unless it’s a kitten or something, in which case tuck it gently under your arm and brace yourself for the news that Valve have finally released the public version of Counter-Strike 2, the long-awaited free-to-play technical upgrade

Vampire Survivors developer Poncle has revealed a new “Whiteout” update coming to the game soon, and it brings with it a new snowy stage, character, weapon, and more. Alongside this news, Poncle released a short teaser of what awaits survivors in the Whiteout update, and it looks like a frosty new take on the Vampire

Shadows Of Doubt is in many ways my ideal game: a procedurally generated detective sim set in an open, rain-slick noir city. I’m waiting for it to get further along in its Early Access journey, and to that end, its first major content update is here now. The Cheats And Liars Update, as its called,

Assassin’s Creed Mirage brings players to Baghdad in 861, during its Golden Age when it was the cultural and technological epicenter of the region. The city feels alive with merchants, townsfolk, guards, palaces, and more. It’s vibrant, lively, and, well, looks and sounds like a city. It’s painted with hues of desert orange and “Arabian

Normally you’d expect to pay the better part of $100 for a new mechanical keyboard, if not more, but today you can find a full-size model for just $30. The Pulsar Gaming Gears PK020 Lunar Alloy is down to that price on Amazon USA following a 50% reduction from the keyboard’s MSRP, making for a

Hideki Kamiya is leaving Platinum Games next month. Kamiya co-founded the Osaka, Japan-based studio in 2006 and later went on to direct games like Bayonetta and The Wonderful 101. His final day at Platinum will be October 12, according to both a statement released by the studio and Kamiya on his personal Twitter account.  As

It’s happening again. As sure as Square Enix overestimating their sales projections, as sure as John Riccitiello pissing off every available customer, EVE Online developers CCP will try to make a first-person shooter set in the same universe. This time it’s called EVE Vanguard, a shooter “module” which will sit within the EVE launcher and

Payday 3 launched earlier this week. As reported back in July, it requires players to connect to a server even if they’re playing solo or with a few friends in a private match. You can already guess the third sentence: the servers have been a disaster at launch, with players forced to queue for long
