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.

If you’ve been on Steam, Twitch, or gaming YouTube lately, you’ve probably seen Schedule I. It’s an indie drug dealer sim that’s currently the top-selling game on Valve’s platform, with more players than big hitters such as Monster Hunter Wilds, GTA 5, and Marvel Rivals after going viral across social media.
Schedule I launched last week and quickly made its way to the upper echelons of Valve’s best-selling and most-played charts. Here’s the official blurb:
It’s developed and published by TVGS, aka Tyler, who took to reddit recently to sum up Schedule I’s explosive launch.
“Honestly it’s amazing but pretty overwhelming,” Tyler said. “I never expected this kind of response! At the moment I’m just trying to stay focussed and get...
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...

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! More Than Just Pals with a grain of salt.
Pocketpair wants to be clear for the non-believers: Palworld! More...
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...
This week marks the first big update to Monster Hunter Wilds since launch, in Title Update 1. In a new letter, Monster Hunter Wilds director Yuya Tokuda confirmed the team has been working on stability, and has some improvements already on the way for Steam users in Title Update 1.
In the message from the director, Tokuda said the Wilds team is continuing to identify stability issues and make improvements where it can, "especially" on the Steam version. "This will be an ongoing process," Tokuda said. "Where we'll aim to make continual steps forward in this area and respond to critical issues."
For PC players, Title Update 1 will bring a few improvements to their Monster Hunter Wilds experience. A reduction in VRAM usage and an upgrade...
Blizzard is reportedly receiving a number of pitches for new StarCraft video games from Korean studios.
In an article brought to the internet’s attention by X / Twitter account @KoreaXboxnews, Asia Today listed four Korean companies who are reportedly competing with each other to develop new games based on the StarCraft IP and secure publishing rights: NCSoft, Nexon, Netmarble, and Krafton. Apparently some of these companies have traveled to Blizzard’s headquarters in Irvine, California, to make their pitches.
NCSoft, which is behind the Lineage and Guild Wars MMOs, is said to have pitched a StarCraft RPG of some kind (an MMORPG?). Nexon, maker of The First Descendant, has pitched a “unique” use of the StarCraft IP. Netmarble (Solo...
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.
IGN sat down with game director Jonathan Rogers to see how the team is feeling about the game's reception so far, and to ask all our burning questions about the upcoming update.
First, I haven't talked to you since the game came to early access. It's been three months. Has the team been happy with the response?
Jonathan Rogers: Yeah, absolutely. I was honestly not expecting that we would beat a PoE 1 launch in terms of concurrency, because obviously this was early...
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...
YouTuber Jacksepticeye has revealed he spent a year working on a Soma animated show only for it to fall apart, leaving him “quite upset.”
In a new video titled 'A Bad Month,' Jacksepticeye, real name Seán William McLoughlin, not only revealed the existence of the Soma animated show, but that it had been canceled.
Soma, a survival horror science fiction video game from Amnesia developer Frictional Games, launched back in 2015 and was met with critical acclaim. Jacksepticeye streamed the game extensively at the time it came out, and often mentions it as one of his favorites.
In the video, Jacksepticeye talked generally about what has been a difficult period creatively following various projects that have either been canceled or failed...
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.
That’s a first month sales record for Capcom — no game in the company’s history has sold more after a month on sale. 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...

In retro news, I'm lighting a 30th birthday cake for Indiana Jones' Greatest Adventures, a SNES treasure that belongs in your museum.

With tight controls, detailed sprite work, and a John Williams-fueled chiptune soundtrack, this was a must-have for 16-bit adventurers...

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...

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.

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...
A Sony property is crossing over into a Microsoft game. Sea of Thieves has received new cosmetics from the world of Destiny 2, bringing the fight against the Darkness to the high seas.
The Lightbearer cosmetics set offers new flags, ship cosmetics, a costume set, and more.

The Pirate Emporium has a weath of options available to deck out your ship and sailor in Destiny cosmetics.
Sea of Thieves made its way to PlayStation last year as one of several Microsoft properties that have jumped to Sony's console. Destiny, meanwhile, has been on Xbox and remained there through Bungie's...

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...

Life sim inZOI is out now in early access on PC, and players have expressed their surprise at being able to run over children, despite the game’s Teen rating.
Warning! The following contains descriptions of inZOI gameplay some may find disturbing.
The ESRB’s listing for inZOI does not mention the ability to run people over, but does mention Zois can die from "traffic accidents."
That’s enough to get the T for Teen rating you’d expect for a sandbox life sim like this, and indeed is the same rating The Sims 4 has.
However, inZOI players have discovered that they can — accidentally or otherwise — kill NPCs including children by driving into them, at which point the ragdoll physics kick in. Characters run over in this way die...

In retro news, I'm celebrating the 22nd birthday of the Gameboy Advance SP, the flip-top bestest version of the GBA SKUs. Debuting at a launch price of almost 200 dollarydoos, it would go on to ship a whopping 43.57M units before being discontinued in 2009. My fondest memory of my SP: using it in conjunction with a GameCube Link Cable to play asymmetrical multiplayer in Pac-Man Vs. all night long.

The surprise announcement that development of Space Marine 3 development had begun sent shockwaves through the Warhammer 40,000 community, and sparked concern about the future of Space Marine 2.
Publisher Focus Entertainment and developer Saber Interactive announced Space Marine 3 in mid-March, just six months after Space Marine 2 came out, and amid existing concern about the amount of content coming to the game to keep existing players interested.
In a new blog post, both companies addressed this concern, promising to continue to support Space Marine 2 and even making a significant announcement about what’s to come.
“Mid-March, we announced that Space Marine 3 had begun development and we’re excited to see your enthusiasm, although...
Path of Exile 2 developer Grinding Gear Games has fully detailed the first major content update since the action RPG’s early access launch last year.
Dawn of the Hunt goes live at 9pm CET on April 4, and adds the new Huntress class. The Huntress is a Spear and Buckler user specialising in hybrid melee and ranged combat. Elsewhere, there are five new ascension classes: the Ritualist, Amazon, Smith of Kitava, Tactician, and Lich.
Players can also expect dozens of new encounters in the endgame, significant mechanical overhauls, over one hundred new unique items as well as significantly expanded crafting options.
The long wait for the Path of Exile 2 early access launch finally came to an end when it released on PC, PlayStation 5, and...
While some communities (like the Tomodachi Life fans) are having an absolute blast following today's Nintendo Direct, others aren't doing so hot. Specifically, I'm referring to the Hollow Knight: Silksong folks, who are once again putting on their clown makeup after no new trailer for the long-anticipated Hollow Knight sequel surfaced at the showcase.
Fortunately, there's another one next week.
Look, the Silksong community has been a hot mess of anticipation and disappointment for a while. Pop into the subreddit or community Discord on a given day, and you'll be overwhelmed with constant memes and "silkposts" fantasizing, predicting, and joking about a game that seems like it will simply never arrive. We covered their antics last...
An unannounced paid DLC for Hogwarts Legacy has been canceled, according to a Bloomberg report.
Per Bloomberg's sources, Warner Bros. was planning a paid story expansion to its Harry Potter adventure game, Hogwarts Legacy, that would have released this year alongside a "Definitive Edition" of the game.
However, WB canceled the DLC this week, allegedly due to concerns that "the amount of content was not substantial enough to justify the price being considered," per Bloomberg. WB declined Bloomberg's request for comment.
Warner Bros. has been actively restructuring its gaming division amidst ongoing financial struggles. Earlier this year, it canceled its planned Wonder Woman game and closed down the studio making it, Monolith...
