Quickly becoming Bethesda Game Studio's most successful release and one of the best-selling games of all time, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim has remained a fixture of the company's lineup even years after it hit shelves, with the studio repackaging and reselling it multiple times. From handheld ports and next-gen upgrades to full-on VR recreations, Skyrim is a game that you can play pretty much anywhere at this point. But, with so many versions of Skyrim to choose from, which should you play in 2024? With multiple editions spread across PlayStation, Xbox, PC and even Switch, it can be tricky to know which release of the game is best suited for the experience you're searching for. Luckily, we've got you covered. Below, we've put together...
Sumo Group, which encompasses Still Wakes the Deep publisher Secret Mode among other games, has announced layoffs affecting 15% of its staff. The business announced the move following an internal message sent to employees today. Like many other companies, it says it’s “not been immune” to some of the difficult changes affecting the games industry recently. Sumo Group adds, “reshaping operations across the business to better navigate the upcoming challenges expected in the coming months is a path we must now take to ensure the security of the business going forward.” “The difficult decision to reduce our costs across the business in a number of ways is a direct result of these challenges, and unfortunately will include a reduction in...

BioWare doesn't have the best track record with hair. In their quest to create their own version of Shepard or Hawke, players have typically struggled with a limited number of hairstyles, most of which looks, well, bad. "The hair doesn't quite look like hair. It looks like a tangled mass atop a head," one Mass Effect player complained on Reddit a few years back. Others have complained that it looks "fake," "horrid," and a "disaster." Well good news, Dragon Age fans — your hair nightmare is finally over. When Dragon Age: The Veilguard finally releases latter this year, it will bring with it a large number of hair options featuring the latest in physics-based follicles. "[O]f course we know when we engage with our fans, the first...
EA Sports has announced that San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey will grace the cover of Madden NFL 25, which has a release date set for August 16 on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. As you can see in the images below, McCaffrey is featured on both the Standard and Deluxe Edition covers for Madden NFL 25. McCaffrey is the sixth running back to serve as the cover athlete, following Adrian Peterson, Barry Sanders, Peyton Hillis, Marshall Faulk, and Eddie George. "To be on the cover of Madden NFL is a career achievement and an honor I share with all of my teammates, coaches and 49er Faithful who have helped make it possible," McCaffrey commented. "I'm pumped to get back on the field this year to give Madden players more...
Dragon Age: The Veilguard is off to an interesting start, to say the least. Coming off the somewhat controversial decision to change the name, BioWare re-introduced the series to fans with a two-minute trailer that drew unfavorable comparisons to Fortnite and Marvel. BioWare quickly followed with a twenty-second tease that was met much more positively – yet another jolting turn in what has been a rollercoaster decade for the franchise since Dragon Age: Inquisition. Over the weekend, I watched as BioWare finally took the wraps off Dragon Age: The Veilguard over the course of an hour-long presentation in which they showed off the character creator, a broad swath of the gameplay, and the battle system. Director Corinne Busche also took...
Previously, BioWare general manager Gary McKay told IGN in an interview that Dragon Age: The Veilguard will allow you to "romance the companions you want," sparking speculation that the fourth game in the series would be making a change to the way romances were handled in previous entries. Now, in a new interview with The Veilguard game director Corinne Busche, we've confirmed that yes, you will be able to romance any companion you want, regardless of your character's gender or race. It's a bit of a surprise for fans, considering that in previous Dragon Age games (excluding Dragon Age II), the romanceable characters had different sexual orientations. Some were pansexual, sure, but others were heterosexual, others were only attracted...
Yes, you will be able to carry over your decisions from previous Dragon Age games into The Veilguard — it'll just work a little differently this time. In an interview with IGN, Dragon Age: The Veilguard Game Director Corinne Busche says the ability to import your choices is "fully integrated into the character creator this time around." What's more, Busche confirmed that you'll be able to customize your Inquisitor if you want to remake your protagonist from Dragon Age: Inquisition. "What's not lost on us is that it's been 10 years since existing players have played. They might not remember [what they did in previous games]," Busche explains. "They might need that refresher and we don't want new players to feel like they're missing...
Helldivers 2’s ongoing Galactic War has taken yet another interesting turn by presenting players with something of a moral dilemma: work together to save sick children from certain death or unlock a new stratagem. The in-universe announcement from Super Earth, below, details the explosive PlayStation 5 and PC co-op shooter’s new Major Order: liberate Vernen Wells, which is home to thousands of civilian survivors trapped inside a children’s hospital, or liberate Marfark, which will in turn unlock the MD-17 Anti-Tank Mines stratagem. Only the citizens or weaponry on the first liberated planet is likely to be saved, the Major Order reads. Both planets are currently held by the Automatons, Helldivers 2's terrifying robot enemy faction...
At The Game Awards last December, Jurassic Park reared its scaly head to the audience in the monstrous form of Jurassic Park: Survival. It's a new adventure game (no relation to the canceled early 2000s action game of the same name) made by Saber Interactive in partnership with Universal. At the time, they didn't share much detail. But today, Saber and Universal have given IGN an exclusive peek into their rendition of Isla Nublar — new characters, new locations, new dinosaurs and all. Universal and Saber have shared with us an internal Q&A conducted with Universal Products & Experiences executive producer John Melchior and Saber Interactive creative director Oliver Hollis-Leick, which contained a number of tidbits about what to expect...

This year’s Xbox Games Showcase was a bit of a treat for fans of chainsaws and chest-high cover. Gears of War: E-Day, a prequel set during the earliest days of the Locust invasion, is set to throw us back into the boots and bandana of original protagonist Marcus Fenix. It’s an interesting direction; we’re coming up on the fifth anniversary of Gears 5, meaning it’s been nearly half a decade since Kait’s story was left on a cliffhanger. But throwing back to the era of the original trilogy has me thinking that developer The Coalition is taking the chance to look backwards as much as it does forward for what comes next. With E-Day, I hope Gears of War can rediscover its '80s and '90s summer blockbuster-style sense of fun. Epic Games’...

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Deluxe Edition is now available to preorder. That's quite the mouthful, but it's probably worth it. Deluxe Edition includes the game, Steelbook, FOX patch, "!" sticker, and character art for £89.99 (with free delivery from Amazon). But, it's only available in the UK. This seems like a fair trade, as those over the pond aren't able to purchase the recently revealed Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Collector's Edition including that sweet terrarium. But, if you'd prefer to snag the Deluxe Edition while being in the States, then here's how you can do it. Amazon UK will happily ship the Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Deluxe Edition to you, for a small fee, so if that's the edition you're most...
With the release of hotly anticipated Elden Ring DLC Shadow of the Erdtree less than two weeks away, publisher Bandai Namco has reminded fans they need to get a move on and prepare for its launch by defeating one of the original game’s optional bosses. In a recent interview with Japanese magazine Famitsu, Elden Ring director Hidetaka Miyazaki said players access the DLC content when they've defeated Starscourge Radahn and then optional boss Mohg, Lord of Blood. Miyazaki revealed the entrance to the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC is the withered arm hanging from the cocoon in the Mohg, Lord of Blood boss fight area. Publisher Bandai Namco re-tweeted a post by streamer Cohh Carnage that highlighted that Steam achievements indicate the...

Resident Evil Village has sold over 10 million copies since going on sale in May 2021, Capcom has announced. The game hit the impressive sales milestone three years after release, making it the fastest Resident Evil game to hit 10 million so far. Like its predecessor, Resident Evil 7, Resident Evil Village uses a first-person perspective but with the option for a third-person perspective. Protagonist Ethan Winters explores a European village while going up against werewolf-like Lycans in more action-oriented gameplay. Village’s success was in part fueled by the breakout popularity of character Lady Dimitrescu, who Capcom leaned into for marketing. IGN’s Resident Evil Village review returned an 8/10. We said: “Resident Evil Village is...
BioWare has confirmed more information on Dragon Age: The Veilguard ahead of the RPG's hotly anticipated gameplay reveal today, June 11. As spotted by Dragon Age YouTuber Jackdaw, BioWare posted a number of comments in the chat of the gameplay video on YouTube responding to questions from fans. One comment confirmed The Veilguard will give players six factions to choose from when creating their character, all with “deep roots in Thedas.” Three examples were provided: Antivan Crows, Gray Wardens, and Shadow Dragons. These examples harken back to previous Dragon Age games, with mention of the Gray Wardens in particular rekindling memories of the much-loved first Dragon Age game, subtitled Origins. In that 2009 RPG, the player...
Offering up a veritable cornucopia of gaming offerings for players of all stripes and tastes, this year’s Summer Game Fest really did have something for everyone.

Activision has clarified that Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 won’t actually require a 300 GB download despite previous messaging. Players began to panic about the size of this year’s Call of Duty after noticing its Xbox store page yesterday. At the time, the page listed that the game would require a 309.85 GB download for those hoping to hop into the post-Cold War first-person shooter when it launches this fall. That'll put a pretty big dent in the hard drive of most PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X | S consoles, so players were, understandably, very concerned. The company has since cleared up the confusion in a post on X/Twitter. Activision’s hit FPS franchise has been known to demand large amounts of storage in recent years, but fans...
The Coalition is taking fans back to where it all started with Gears of War: E-Day, and that means revisiting the horrors of Emergence Day and the Locust horde. Brand Director Nicole Fawcette and Creative Director Matt Searcy opened up about the studio’s desire to focus on the “scary” aspects of Gears during an interview with IGN. Searcy says the team wants to “capture a moment in time” and “tell a very intimate story about what happened” to the people in one of Sera’s cities. “For us, it’s like a what-if story,” he said. “What if the ground opened up and monsters came out? Yeah, it’s set on a fictional, other planet, but there are very human reactions and stories we get to tell. To do that, we need to be able to tell a story that...
Amid multiple leaks and rumors, we had a decent idea of what was going to be at this year’s Xbox Games Showcase with seemingly plenty to get excited about. But when the Showcase finally aired, Microsoft did the near-impossible for any company in a fickle social media-fueled age: they exceeded expectations and drew almost universal acclaim. Eighty-four percent of the 10,000+ voters in my X poll graded it an ‘A’ on the academic scale. Ninety-five percent gave it an ‘A’ or ‘B’. A home run like this would be welcome at any time, but it’s an especially fortuitous one now for both Xbox fans and, no doubt, Xbox employees alike. Confidence had been shaken in recent months, with dedicated fans rankled by Microsoft’s decision to bring some...
It seems like we have a release date for Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, if a recent X/Twitter post from GameStop is to be believed. This afternoon, the retailer posted the trailer and pre-order link to Snake Eater, saying the MGS3 remake will arrive on November 17. The post, which you can also see a screenshot of below, is still live as of press time. As some have pointed out, though, that November 17 date is an odd one, as if it's indeed November 17, 2024, it'll release on a Sunday. IGN has reached out to Konami for comment. Developing...

Some of the more interesting Star Wars content in recent years has nothing to do with Jedi and Sith. While their iconic push-and-pull of good versus evil has been a great framework for games like the Star Wars Jedi series, honing in on the life of a scoundrel gives us the opportunity to see life in the galaxy from a different perspective. That’s the impression I got after getting hands-on with an hour's worth of gameplay with Star Wars Outlaws, the upcoming third-person action shooter from Ubisoft and developer Massive Entertainment. It’s rough around the edges as of however old this build was, but exploring the galaxy as protagonist Kay Vess and getting into dirty business in this three-part demo was refreshing, even though a lot of...
16th-century Japan is ripe with fascinating historical context for an Assassin’s Creed game to thrive, which is one aspect that makes the upcoming Assassin’s Creed Shadows so enticing. The way the series bends history for its fiction has me hyped to see its version of feudal Japan, but it’s also a setting that lends itself well to the kind of combat options that have been encompassed by the entire franchise. In a hands-off preview demo of Assassin’s Creed Shadows, I was able to see roughly 30 minutes of gameplay that showcased both Naoe and Yasuke – the two protagonists – and their combat styles in action. They represent both worlds of the series’ combat: Naoe, a stealthy shinobi wielding the iconic Hidden Blade, and Yasuke, a force...
Ubisoft has revealed the beloved city-builder franchise Anno will finally be taking fans to the Ancient Roman Empire in Anno 117: Pax Romana. Furthermore, it will be released in 2025 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. While the team wasn't ready to show off gameplay, it did share a short teaser that set the tone for what fans can expect. You'll be introduced to the Town Crier in the trailer, who will appear in game, and he is making the grand announcement that a new Governor is coming to bring a new era of wealth and prosperity to these lands. However, he is speaking to no one as the lands have not been claimed yet and sare waiting for you. In a clever nod to Field of Dreams, the tagline is revealed as, "Build it and they wil...
Ubisoft has finally put a release window on the Prince of Persia Sands of Time Remake: 2026. The Sands of time remake’s release year, announced during the Ubisoft Forward 2024 event alongside a brief teaser video, comes after what was reportedly a troubled development. In November last year, Ubisoft said the Ubisoft Montreal project had passed an “important” internal milestone and that development was “progressing.” Prince of Persia's first delay arrived in December 2020, just months after its initial announcement, with an indefinite delay following in February 2021. Ubisoft made its most drastic shift yet when development was moved from Ubisoft Pune and Ubisoft Mumbai to Ubisoft Montreal in May 2022. Work has continued at the...
