Wizards of the Coast has issued a DMCA takedown notice on a fan mod of Stardew Valley that adds Baldur's Gate 3 characters, despite the mod previously having been publicly praised by Larian Studios CEO Sven Winke.

RuneScape: Dragonwilds Announced as Jagex's New Take on the Open World Survival Genre

Today, Jagex has announced that it's bringing the world of RuneScape into a new genre: survival. The developer revealed RuneScape: Dragonwilds, a cooperative open world survival game coming to early access this spring. Dragonwilds takes place in Ashenfall, a new continent within the RuneScape universe, where one to four players can work together to learn new skills, build camps, grow stronger, and survive against powerful enemies, including lots and lots of dragons. Ashenfall has two regions, with five unique biomes, and the potential for more to be added later post-launch.

Helldivers 2 Players Are Heading Back To Defend Malevelon Creek

Well, never say Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead Studios doesn't have a dark sense of nostalgia. One year removed from the infamous in-game liberation of Malevelon Creek, Helldivers 2 is sending its players back to the planet to hold it against surging Automaton forces. After a recent Major Order failure, players were worried about a return to the Creek, as reports indicated the Automatons — pushing forward with their fiery new Incineration Corps — were targeting the Severin Sector. The sector, and Malevelon Creek in particular, was the center of one of Helldivers 2's earliest and most notable collective moments in the game. Helldivers converged on the planet to try and keep the Creek under Super Earth control. The combination of...

Doom Is Having Its Halo Moment With The Dark Ages

The last thing I expected Doom: The Dark Ages to remind me of was Halo 3. And yet, half way through a recent hands-on demo with id Software’s gothic prequel, I was mounted on the back of a cyborg dragon and unleashing a salvo of machinegun fire across the side of a demonic battle barge. With the vessel’s defensive turrets destroyed, I landed my beast atop the ship and proceeded to charge through its lower decks, turning the entire crew into a few gallons of red slop. Seconds later, the warmachine was toast and I burst through its hull, leaping onto my dragon to continue my crusade against the machines of Hell. Those familiar with Bungie’s landmark Xbox 360 shooter will instantly recognise the shape of Master Chief’s assault on the...

Palworld Dating Sim Revealed as Real Video Game as Dev Insists It's Not an April Fools' Day Joke

Developer Pocketpair has announced Palworld! More Than Just Pals, a dating sim set in its massively popular monster-catching universe — and no, it’s not an April Fools’ Day joke (this time). The team behind 2024’s Pokémon-like survival experience revealed its plans to inject a bit of romance into its catalog today, March 31. It’s an announcement that, on any other day of the year, fans would accept without question. However, April Fools’ Day gags, fake games, and more strange announcements from game developers will surely flood the internet as soon as the new month rolls in tomorrow, so most fans are already taking Palworld!

Doom: The Dark Ages - We've Played It!

When I went into my hands-on with Doom: The Dark Ages I was prepared for intense violence and high volume heavy metal, but what I didn’t count on was such an exhilarating amount of demon-killing variety. By the end of my two-hour demo I’d used a saw-toothed shield to slice through demons like it was Beelzebub’s Beyblade, stomped around a war-ravaged city as a colossal Mecha-Slayer, and even brought a snarling Cyberdemon to an explosive end by breathing fire directly down its throat with my faithful dragon steed – which seemed as though it had come to life from one of the sketches I used to draw in the margins of my high school maths books. In fact, every aspect of it looked and felt incredible. It may take place in the dark ages of the...

Path of Exile 2 Dev GGG Talks Dawn of the Hunt, the Huntress, and the New Unique That 'Might Be Broken'

Three months after launching Path of Exile 2 into early access, the development team at Grinding Gear Games is getting ready for its first major expansion, called Dawn of the Hunt, which will add the action-RPG's first new character class, new endgame activities, and more.

Official Final Fantasy 9 25th Anniversary Website Set Tongues Wagging on Potential Switch 2 Nintendo Direct Remake Reveal

There is renewed excitement about the much-discussed Final Fantasy 9 remake after Square Enix launched an official Final Fantasy 9 25th Anniversary website. The website, which is in Japanese, notes the release date of Final Fantasy 9 (July 7, 2000) and points out the game celebrates its 25th anniversary this year. “We are preparing various projects, including merchandise and collaborations to commemorate the 25th anniversary, so please look forward to it!" the website continues. That rather innocuous statement, as well as the existence of the anniversary website itself, was enough to spark speculation that Square Enix may finally reveal the Final Fantasy 9 remake fans so desperately want. And the timing of the website’s launch is...

Monster Hunter Wilds Breezes Past 10 Million Sold, Capcom Explains Why It’s Done So Incredibly Well

Monster Hunter Wilds’ phenomenal success shows no sign of slowing down. It’s just breezed past the 10 million sold mark, setting a new record for developer and publisher Capcom.

Wilds was already the fastest-selling game in Capcom history after selling 8 million copies in just three days. In a note to press, Capcom explained why it believes Monster Hunter Wilds has proven so successful, even blowing Monster Hunter World out the water. It pointed to the introduction of crossplay and the day-one launch across console and PC (World launched on PC half a year after console) as key factors in Wilds' appeal. "The title...

Ex-PlayStation Exec Says NieR: Automata Revived the Japanese Games Industry, Convinced It To Stop Chasing Overseas Trend

NieR:Automata brought a lot of attention to the series and its creators, but it may have also had some greater ramifications for the industry. In a new interview, former PlayStation executive Shuhei Yoshida said he thinks NieR: Automata "revived" the Japanese game industry. In an interview with AVWatch (as translated by Genki_JPN), Yoshida said the Japanese games industry was struggling after chasing overseas trends in the PlayStation 3 era. He said he thought director Yoko Taro made NieR: Automata without thinking whether or not it would sell overseas. "From there, it became clear that Japanese creators were making 'Japanese things' and those things were selling overseas," Yoshida said. "Everyone realized that with NieR." "It was...

Call of Duty Console Players Unlikely to Be Cheating, They’re Just Killing You With an ‘Intel Advantage,’ Activision Says

Activision has detailed its ongoing anti-cheat work ahead of the launch of Season 3 in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone, and confirmed something pretty much all Call of Duty players had assumed to be true. The mega publisher has spent millions of dollars developing its anti-cheat technology as well as pursuing cheat makers in the courts, with a number of recent high-profile successes. Earlier in March, Phantom Overlay announced it was shutting down, with fans reacting in disbelief that such a prominent Call of Duty cheat provider would fall by the wayside. And just last week, IGN reported on four cheat providers that were shut down ahead of next week’s hotly anticipated return of Verdansk to Warzone. In a new blog post...

League of Legends Fighting Game 2XKO Will Have Just 10 Playable Characters at Launch, Riot Confirms

2XKO, the League of Legends-based fighting game, just got a new drop of information ahead of its next Alpha Lab. Among the news is confirmation that its launch roster might be a little smaller than you'd expect. In several Q&As following a recent video update, both with fighting game content creator Sajam and in the 2XKO Discord (via VG247), Riot confirmed there will be 10 playable champions — characters — at launch. According to game director Shaun Rivera, it sounds like the lower number could help get 2XKO in players' hands faster. "I know it seems like a low number. I know. Trust me, y'know, we hear it," Rivera said in Sajam's stream. "Honestly, we'd rather just get the game out to y'all to play ASAP, instead of keeping it in the...

Baby Steps First Hands-On Preview: You’ve Got to Fall Before You Walk

Five minutes. It only took me five minutes of my hour-long demo to become beguiled by the world of Baby Steps and see the promise of what developers Gabe Cuzzillo, Maxi Boch, and Bennett Foddy have in store for us. Baby Steps takes the simple premise of a guy on the couch, Nate, needing to find his way home after being transported into another world. It all starts straightforward enough: you wake up in a new world and need to put one foot in front of the other by lifting Nate's feet and thighs in an almost rhythmic way to make him walk, and if that sounds complicated, well, that is just the tip of the iceberg. During my preview, I climbed natural steps made of rock, walked across narrow beams of wood, and climbed the remains of a...
