Helldivers 2 is still crushing it. Despite some serious drop-off to its player base, the community is still going strong, with an average of around 40K divers diving at any given moment. The developer, Arrowhead Studios, even had to slow down adding new content to the game with their Warbonds, because players were still taking their time unlocking everything in previous ones. Helldivers 2 has committed to keeping players engaged with their game, and so far it seems to be paying off.
Now, it’s time for their first big expansion. Escalation of Freedom which adds difficulty level 10, a new swamp map type, new enemies from both the Terminids and Automatons, and new mission types.
Shaking things up is always necessary for any...
Warhammer 40K has spread so far and wide from its humble tabletop origins that I would almost consider the fantasy of being one of the Adeptus Astartes – a Space Marine – as being on-par with being Batman or a Jedi Knight at this point. And Space Marine 2 brings me closer to that fantasy than any previous game has. At its best, it's practically 40K nirvana, mowing down disorienting numbers of Tyranids with a heavy bolter or cutting a path through them with a chainsword. At times, the controls can get a little clunky – especially on a controller. But I suppose some of that comes with being an eight-foot-tall juggernaut coated in ceramite.
I had access to the first little bit of the campaign, which has Clive Standen (aka Rollo from...
WolfEye Studios president and co-founder of Arkane Studios Raphaël Colantonio has said Dishonored and Prey fans “will be happy” with his new studio's next game.
Colantonio, who left Arkane in 2017 after co-creating Dishonored and directing Prey, teased WolfEye Studios' next game on X/Twitter by saying “fans of the previous first person games I was involved with (Dishonored and Prey) will be happy” with it. “We’ll reveal a bit more about our next game in a few days,” he added.
Colantonio's WolfEye Studios was formed in 2019 following his departure from Arkane Austin. The studio's first game, a third person dark fantasy adventure called Weird West, got a positive reception following its 2022 release on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation.

It was probably after desperately stealing some medication from someone’s ailing grandfather in 2014’s This War Of Mine, that I realised developer 11 Bit Studios had a real grasp of brutalist tactics and more pointedly, a handle on making the player twist their moral compass in the name of survival. There was nothing quite like […]

Welcome to Wednesday, start of the homestretch into a weekend you should stock cheap games for. I've got a whole bunch of things worth squirreling away, too, like that Pandora's Box of Borderlands titles, budget LEGO games on Switch, and more. Head sub-level to start the savings in earnest...
In retro news, I'm celebrating the 22nd bday of Alien Hominid, a Metal Slug-ish by the folks who would go on to craft Castle Crashers. Uploaded as a Flash browser game on the legendary multimedia website Newgrounds, Alien Hominid was one of the first notable indie darlings that really turned my head. It was tough as nails, great in two-player, and revitalised OG run 'n' gunning for a modern audience. Better yet, it sported a hilariously...
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is being ported onto last-gen consoles. Developer Respawn Entertainment announced today that PS4 and Xbox One owners will get to play Cal Kestis' latest journey next month.
In a press release, Respawn confirmed that the PS4 and Xbox One port of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor will be available starting September 17. EA CEO Andrew Wilson announced last August during an earnings call that a PS4 and Xbox One port of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor was in development. Both versions will retail for $49.99, and Respawn touts that these ports will "feature a variety of optimizations aimed at maximizing the hardware capabilities of the consoles."
In addition, the developer confirmed that a new update for the PC version of Jedi...
Lollipop Chainsaw RePop hasn't suffered another delay but is instead being bumped up nearly two weeks to September 12, 2024.
As reported by Gematsu, developer Dragami Games confirmed the change would affect all versions of the game — PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, Nintendo Switch, and PC — in North America, Central and South America, and Europe.
The previous release date of September 25 came after another delay out of summer 2024 and before that 2023, but as its latest September 12 date is just a month away, it's likely Dragami Games will stick to this one.
Lollipop Chainsaw RePop is a remake of the original Lollipop Chainsaw which follows high school cheerleader and zombie hunter descendant Juliet Starling as she fights...
Silent Hill 2 Remake developer Bloober Team wants fans to give its version of the beloved survival horror game a chance.
Game producer Piotr Babieno told Rolling Stone that Bloober Team appreciates fans offering their feedback on Silent Hill 2, which he said has been "invaluable in refining our project before its release," but admitted the developers need to ignore some chatter to focus "on their creative work with peace of mind."
Gameplay has caused some concern the remake is changing too much from the original and becoming too action focused. But even Bloober Team itself said a particularly controversial trailer was handled by not it but publisher Konami, and wasn't "in the spirit of what used to be."
I am dreaming that gamers...
After a brief tease during its anniversary stream earlier this year, Behaviour Interactive announced today that the Castlevania chapter will arrive in Dead by Daylight later this month.
In a press release, Behaviour Interactive confirmed that the Castlevania chapter in Dead by Daylight will be available starting August 27. The chapter will introduce two new playable characters: Dracula will be the latest killer joining the roster, while Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse protagonist Trevor Belmont will be the new survivor.
Behaviour notes that although Trevor is not the Belmont known for his brawn, Behaviour teases that his "unique skillset serves to set him apart," including his collaboration skills, which make him an effective team...

In an Xbox Wire post, Microsoft confirmed Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, Mafia: Definitive Edition, and Creatures of Ava will be added to the subscription service. All of these will be available to subscribers via PC, Xbox, and Xbox Cloud Gaming (if you are an Ultimate tier subscriber). The first of these three games, Creatures of Ava, will be available to Game Pass subscribers starting August 7.
This was initially revealed at the Xbox Partner Preview Showcase held in March and will be available on Game Pass on its launch day. In Creatures of Ava, players control Vic, a young woman who tames wild creatures suffering from an infection using a...
The creator of popular deck-building poker inspired game Balatro has taken legal steps to ensure his creation can never be used to promote actual gambling, even after his death.
Balatro is a roguelike that challenges players to earn an ever increasing number of chips by playing joker-enhanced cards to overcomes the challenges set by opponents known as ‘blinds’ and final round bosses.
Despite being steeped in gambling terminology and luck-based gameplay mechanics, there are no real-world gambling elements in the game, or even microtransactions for that matter. Creator LocalThunk has now said on X/Twitter that he has taken action to ensure Balatro can never be used to promote actual gambling by solidifying it in his will.

Horror adventure game A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead launches October 17, 2024, PlayStation has announced.
A brief teaser was revealed in an X/Twitter post from PlayStation, below, alongside the release date. A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead is coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, and PC, and while it will likely launch on October 17 across all platforms, only PlayStation has so far confirmed that date.

An Activision leak has seen the Warzone map presumably debuting alongside Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 revealed and it's already proving controversial amongst fans.
As reported by Charlie Intel, footage showing a Warzone map called Avalon leaked as a result of Activision uploading a build of the game to the PlayStation Network database and therefore making it accessible to those on PlayStation 4.
Most of the clips have been removed from X/Twitter and replaced with a message which reads: "This media has been disabled in response to a report by the copyright owner." The gameplay remains available and heavily discussed on a Reddit post from JenNettles, however, where many fans are expressing concern at its design.
The backlash comes...
Yakuza / Like a Dragon characters like Kiryu Kazuma and Ichiban Kasuga probably won't show up as expansion fighters in other games like Mortal Kombat or Tekken anytime soon.
Series producer and writer Masayoshi Yokoyama told Polygon he didn't think Yakuza characters appearing in other games was a good idea, and developer Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio will instead stick to exploring other mediums like it's doing with the Like A Dragon: Yakuza Prime Video series premiering on October 25, 2024.
"Going across mediums like we did with [the Prime Video series] is better, rather than just going to another game," Yokoyama said. "We receive all kind of invitations to appear in other games, but we never actually went over to their doorstep and said...
Baldur's Gate 3 Stars Neil Newbon and Samantha Béart Played a Game of D&D as Their Actual Characters
Dungeons & Dragons celebrated its 50th anniversary at Gen Con, the largest tabletop game convention in North America, by pulling in Baldur's Gate 3 stars Neil Newbon and Samantha Béart for a one shot campaign role-playing as their actual characters from the game: Astarion and Karlach.
The adventure saw Critical Role alumnus Aabria Iyengar act as Dungeon Master while Anjali Bhimani and Brennan Lee Mulligan joined Newbon and Béart as players. "Hey soldiers, my name's Karlach Cliffgate," the latter said when introducing herself, to immense cheers from the crowd.
"Tonight I have decided I'm going to play a certain paler vampire type out for a good time," Newbon said on his turn. "So my name's Astarion. Hello darling." The entire campaign...
An animated series based on Squanch Games’ High on Life is reportedly in the works with Curb Your Enthusiasm's J.B. Smoove attached as a producer.
These first details on the video-game-to-show adaptation come from Deadline, which says that Smoove will produce the project via his Alternate Side Productions banner. He starred as Gus in Squanch’s first-person shooter upon its release in 2022, and although the site says there is a “good chance” he’ll play a part in the series, he’s not officially joined the cast yet.
In addition to live-action roles in movies like Date Night and Spider-Man: Far From Home, Smoove has provided his voice talents in projects like Max’s Harley Quinn, Teen Titans Go!, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012)...

Star Wars Outlaws is out later this month, and Ubisoft has revealed the road map for those who buy the season pass.
In a blog post, Ubisoft confirmed that the Star Wars Outlaws season pass will include content divided into three release windows. On launch day, season pass owners will gain access to a character pack and the previously confirmed Jabba's Gambit exclusive mission. Star Wars Outlaws' season pass previously received controversy earlier this year when Ubisoft revealed that it was locking the Jabba above's Gambit mission behind the Season Pass. However, Ubisoft insisted that Jabba the Hutt will be available to all players, not just season pass holders.
More interestingly, Ubisoft confirmed that two DLC story expansions will...
Elden Ring players have discovered a risk free way of instantly defeating one of Shadow of the Erdtree’s main bosses, Rellana, the Twin Moon Knight.
The exploit works without ever setting foot in her arena, by travelling to the Scadu Altus area before visiting the legacy dungeon Castle Ensis. Spotted by X/Twitter user Ziostorm, players can defeat Rellana by simply casting long range spells while standing in contact with the boss chamber’s rear fog gate.
“Turns out, you can cheese Rellana by going to the rear fog wall by Highroad Cross and using Flame of the Fell God,” they wrote, referring to an Incantation which shoots a ball of fire. “It will travel into her arena and explode.”
Though perhaps not the way FromSoftware intended...
The early 2010s were an incredible time to be a fan of indie games, with classics like Limbo, Bastion, and Super Meat Boy paving the way for others to follow. One of my favorites from that period was the original Volgarr the Viking – it’s a 2D platformer that looks and plays like a 16-bit Sega Genesis game, but one informed by the ways in which the genre had evolved since the 90s. It was brutally difficult, but always fair, and that careful balance made it incredibly satisfying to overcome its challenges. So it pains me to say it, but that balance is all out of sorts in its 2024 sequel, Volgarr the Viking 2. This is a game that recaptures a lot of what made the original so great, but adds very little to iterate on those ideas, and the...

Like a Dragon fans have grown excited after series publisher Sega filed a trademark for something called Yakuza Wars.
The trademark was filed in Japan on July 26, 2024 but only made public today, August 5, as spotted by X/Twitter user Wario64. Like a Dragon developer Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio is revealing its next game sometime between September 26 and September 29 at Tokyo Game Show, with many fans now believing Yakuza Wars to be it.
The trademark reveals nothing beyond the name though, not even if Yakuza Wars is a video game property.
Fans have still run away with the prospect, of course, with Bestgamer on Reddit even discussing its potential as a collaboration between the Like a Dragon series and another Sega franchise Sakura Wars...

Welcome back to the deals pile. Nothing but the finest wares actually worth owning, going for way less than RRP. Bit of a thin week for new releases, so I'm digging up the past + discounts. That said, I'd zero in on the seriously reduced Don't Starve Together, Dead Cells, GTA Definitive, and Borderlands 3. Hundreds of hours of fun for not much monies at all!
In retro news, I'm celebrating the 30th birthday of Earthworm Jim, a run 'n' gun platformer that's as iconic as it was bizarre. I can vividly recall being blown away by its slick character animations, as they were on par with the high [Agra]ba[h]r set by Disney's Aladdin from the year previous. Better yet, EJ oozed a unique weirdness that provided left field shifts in...

It’s fair to say that the notion of remastering or remaking a title of any renown inhabits the same mind space as creating a new title from scratch. Sure, while you effectively have a source material of sorts to start from, versus nothing for an entirely new title, you still must wrestle with that same […]
